＂NIO＂ A high-end brand of new energy intelligent electric vehicles： NIO

2024年9月29日 | admin | history

"A new energy intelligent high-end brand:, meaning a new day (a New Day), new hope!

Over the weekend, I went to the center of Merrill Lynch M · LIVE World (Guangzhou Merrill Lynch World) to see the exhibition car. The patient introduction and test drive explanation of NIO consultant Xiao Zhu gave me a further understanding of NIO.

NIO is a high-end brand of new energy intelligent electric vehicles, dedicated to creating a better lifestyle for users by providing high-performance intelligent electric vehicles and the ultimate user experience.

"The future of electric vehicles is in China", and the unique design language is led by Kris Tomasson, the current vice president of design at NIO.

Now, as the chief design director of NIO, he has led the design of NIO ET, ES, EC series models…

The body size has a 2.9-meter long wheelbase, and the interior continues the design concept of the "second living room". At first glance, I think this model’s space extension is very good.

Turn to the front face position and take a closer look. Unlike the old model, the headlights of the new EC6 are split, providing a very high degree of recognition for the entire front face and a full sense of technology. When entering the car, the integrated dome glass feels the sense of open space and transparency, effectively insulating 99.5% of the space.

The X shape of the front of the car is like a thousand years initialized, round and tough, and the "X-Bar" is the core visual element of the front face of NIO. According to the NIO designer, its design inspiration comes from the "X" shape formed by flipping the lower half of the LOGO. Through the meaning of "X", it can also express the vision for the future and the future.

Standing on the side of the ES6 and EC6 for a long time, the shape of the EC6 coupe is more dynamic and elegant. As a designer, I am very sensitive to the line shape of things, and I fell in love with the EC6 at first sight. This streamlined design that is ready to go makes the performance particularly outstanding.

Another thing that attracted me was this set of active lift buttocks electric rear wings at the rear of the car, which really improved the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. It had the functions of reducing drag and improving downforce, increasing driving safety and stability, and it was an automatic lift and a proper eye-catching artifact!

After reading the car, I finally chose it, the NIO Spirit Realm purple replacement coupe EC6, if you like it, you must have it!

At the pick-up center, the beautiful woman Xiao Cai, the delivery experience teacher, explained the precautions in detail, thank you to every staff of NIO, let us know this brand, bid farewell to the oil truck, and start a new way of life!

＂Black Myth： Wukong＂ is popular all over Taiwan, and behind the recognition of the game is the continuation of cross-strait culture

2024年9月24日 | admin | history

　　The popularity of "Black Myth: Goku" in Taiwan has attracted widespread attention. Since the game was officially launched on August 20, 2024, it has not only become the focus of the world, but also the related topics have quickly detonated the public opinion field on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In today’s digital age, the influence of a game is often beyond people’s imagination. The emergence of "Black Myth: Goku" is like a cultural storm, sweeping the gaming industry, making compatriots on both sides of the strait deeply feel the great charm of cultural export.

　　According to reports, "Black Myth: Goku" was launched at noon on the same day, while the number of online players on the computer game platform Steam exceeded 1.40 million, and the total sales of the game quickly exceeded 4.50 million copies, with total sales exceeding 1.50 billion yuan. This achievement not only proves the high quality of the game, but also reflects the high enthusiasm and expectation of players for it.

　　The popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" has also aroused heated discussions in Taiwan media. Cai Zhengyuan, a former public opinion representative of the Chinese Kuomintang, lamented that he finally saw the rise of the Chinese mainland and the game with Chinese cultural elements reached the top, hoping that the game industry in the Chinese mainland can become a "hegemon" in the world in the future. Lai Yueqian, a Taiwanese scholar, also said that "Black Myth: Wukong" has attracted much attention four years ago. Now the sales of the game have quickly broken the world record after it is launched, and it will definitely be seen by more people in the world. "Four years of grinding a sword, one sword is successful."

　　The first batch of players from the island also posted praise one after another. Taiwanese player Chen Hongfu couldn’t wait to start playing the game as soon as it was launched. In an interview with reporters, he sighed, "As a player, I give full marks!" Whether it is art and soundtrack, "Black Myth: Wukong" is "top in his mind." Many of the game’s graphics are drawn from traditional Chinese architecture, with a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere, which is very shocking, and the details reflect "our own things".

　　In the opinion of public opinion on the island, the popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" is due to its excellent game experience. Whether it is excellent art, innovative combat ideas, or fascinating plot, it has attracted the attention of young Taiwanese. The Chinese cultural elements contained in the game have aroused strong resonance among many Taiwanese players. The feedback from many players also shows their intimacy with the characters and story background in the game, and their sense of identity with the charm and profound heritage of Chinese culture.

　　The popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" is not only due to its exquisite game production, but more importantly, it is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, which is the common root of both sides of the strait. Culture is the continuation of blood and the bond of the nation. Compatriots on both sides of the strait have grown up in the soil of Chinese culture, and naturally have deep feelings for classic works like "Journey to the West". The love of Taiwanese compatriots for "Black Myth: Wukong" is nothing more than proof that the two sides of the strait have the same origin and blood connection. This sense of identity is an uncompressible tension.

　　Dozens of ancient Chinese buildings in the game have been "restored by gods". The realistic Chinese landscapes and magnificent ancient Chinese buildings all convey Chinese aesthetics. I hope more excellent works like "Black Myth: Wukong" can emerge, leading more Taiwanese compatriots to enter the palace of traditional Chinese culture, feel the cultural charm and artistic shock that spans thousands of years, and contribute to the soft power of cultural export.

[Selection of Hong Kong Stock Announcement] Sunac’s US dollar bond default, Li Auto’s contract-breaking school enrollment, and Hengchi 5 car booking phone number are actually empty

2024年9月23日 | admin | history

　　[Major announcement]

　　Sunac China failed to pay interest on a US dollar debt within a 30-day grace period

　　On May 11, according to the surging coverage, Sunac China told investors that it is still trying to pay the coupon of four US dollar bonds due in May totaling 98.56 million US dollars, but also stressed that the difficulty of payment is very large and difficult to solve.

　　The Paper learned that a coupon on a SUNAC $7.95 10/11/23 bond was supposed to be paid on April 11, totaling $29.50 million, but Sunac did not pay after the interest payment date. According to the prospectus, Sunac China has a 30-day grace period to pay the above debt interest to avoid default, and the last day of the 30-day grace period is May 11. As of press time, investors said they had not yet received the coupon paid by Sunac.

　　The US Dollar Bond was issued by Sunac China in 2019. On April 9, 2019, Sunac China announced the issuance of US Dollar Bond with 7.95% annual interest rate of US $750 million due October 2023. The announcement shows that the Notes will mature on October 11, 2023 unless redeemed in advance according to the terms of the Notes. The Notes will bear interest at 7.95% annual interest effective April 11, 2019. Interest will be paid semi-annually from October 11, 2019, that is, on April 11 and October 11 each year.

　　It is reported that Li Auto broke the contract with the school’s enrollment due to the adjustment of the business structure

　　Recently, according to Sina Technology, ifeng.com Technology and other media reports, some users revealed on Maimai and other platforms that Li Auto had defaulted on some of the school admissions for graduation in 2022 in May, and many of them had signed a tripartite agreement with Li Auto and the school, preparing to wait for the graduation defense to be completed.

　　Image source: Internet

　　In response to the "termination of the school enrollment offer", Li Auto responded that Li Auto has made business adjustments and some positions have been closed, which involves some school enrollment partners who have not yet joined this year.

　　Li Auto also said that in view of the inconvenience that may be caused to these students to find jobs again, it provides a plan for transfer selection and compensation for termination of the contract. Regarding compensation, considering the information of various majors and job directions, relevant students have been recommended to other business positions for re-transfer interviews. For students who do not have suitable positions, compensation for one month’s salary will be provided, which exceeds the amount of liquidated damages signed in the agreement.

　　It is reported that Li Auto’s business adjustments mainly involve camera self-research and internal systems. As for the proportion of school enrollment involved, Li Auto replied that "it is not convenient to inform the specific number for the time being".

　　It is reported that Hengda Automobile has blindly ordered more than 50,000 cars in 10 hours, and the media has verified that the official phone number is actually empty

　　On May 9, it was reported that Hengda Automobile’s Hengchi brand had recently opened pre-sale, and the order reached 50,000 within 10 hours after the "blind order".

　　Once the news was exposed, it caused widespread discussion among netizens. Some netizens said that they did not see the car booking entrance of Hengchi 5, and questioned the data of "10-hour blind booking 50,000". After all, even Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, Tesla Model Y and other phenomenal products did not have such exaggerated orders after the pre-sale at that time.

　　Subsequently, some media plans to verify with Hengda Automobile, but it is embarrassing that the official Hengchi new energy vehicle phone number and related numbers are empty or cannot be connected.

　　Log in to the official website of Hengchi Automobile and find that the website only has a button to "make an appointment now" for the Hengchi 5 model, but the reservation method only needs to leave personal information such as contact information, and there is no content related to ordering and payment.

　　Therefore, from the current situation, the news that "Hengchi Auto Pre-sale 10-hour order surge 50,000" is not supported by any data, nor is there any official news that Hengchi Auto has opened pre-sale.

　　Blue Moon becomes the official exclusive supplier of the 31st Summer Universiade

　　On May 10, the signing ceremony of the official exclusive supplier of the 31st Summer Universiade and the new product launch conference were successfully held in Chengdu. At the meeting, Blue Moon announced that it officially joined hands with the Chengdu Universiade to become the official exclusive supplier of the 31st Summer Universiade, and released the new blue moon sports laundry detergent series. This move demonstrates Blue Moon’s leading position in the daily chemical industry and will further strengthen the thickness of the company’s moat.

　　Gao Jianfeng, founding partner of Shanghai Bogai Consulting, said in an interview with the "Securities Daily" reporter that Blue Moon signed a contract with the Universiade to strengthen the brand appeal in the field of laundry detergent and expand its influence in the eyes of young consumers, especially those who have stronger demands for sports health and environmental protection. This is also an important measure for Blue Moon to continue to maintain brand vitality. At the same time, the launch of new sports products will further enrich Blue Moon’s product matrix and enhance Blue Moon’s core competitiveness.

　　Geely Automobile completes the signing of the Sustainable Finance Framework and will continue to promote green finance practices

　　On May 11, Geely Automobile completed the construction and released the "Sustainable Finance Framework", which has obtained the "Environmental, Social and Governance" (ESG) rating of the international capital markets authority and the third-party opinion of the research agency Sustainalytics. The framework is also applicable to Geely Automobile’s future issuance of green, social and sustainable development bonds and loans and other financing instruments.

　　The release of the Sustainable Finance Framework will help Geely Automobile obtain appropriate financing arrangements for its sustainability projects, fulfill Geely Automobile’s commitment to sustainability, and align the company’s financing strategy with global best practices in ESG debt issuance.

　　In addition, green finance will further enhance the company’s financing efficiency, reduce debt financing costs, and expand the company’s diverse financing channels, enabling Geely Automobile to continue to maintain its advantages in financing categories and costs.

What is the most playable masterpiece of steam？ Recommended masterpiece of steam [Detailed explanation]

　　I believe that everyone has played the games on Steam. The games on Steam are famous for their beautiful graphics and high-quality ratings. Can we play many beautiful games on it? Let’s talk about what are the more durable games on Steam.

　　Ark: Survival Evolved

　　This game has been out for a very long time, but because of this, we can see that this is a very durable game, and there are still people playing there. In addition, last year, Steam gave it away to players for free, which led to more players in the Ark, and the number of people online in the Ark is on the steam online list.

Moreover, we must be lower than the survivors, who are played by other players. They will come to seize our supplies, which is very exciting.

　　Civilization 6

　　This game is also very good. This game is a very realistic simulation of a war. For example, in one night, other games can be played many times, while Civilization 6 is only enough for you to fight a battle. If you want to create your own civilization in this game, you need to fight a lot of battles. Therefore, this game is also very durable.

　　III. Elden Circle

Li Zonghan sold coolies to shoot ＂Noodle Introduction＂, and the degree of hard work exceeded ＂Sword Rain＂

2024年9月9日 | admin | history

"Noodles Introduction" Li Zonghan’s Happy Family
　

　　Recently, the literary film "Face Introduction", which tells the story of Taiwanese veterans returning to their hometowns to visit relatives, is being filmed at the Huairou Film and Television Base. Directed by Li Youning, a famous Taiwanese director and chairman of the Golden Horse Awards jury who has been concerned about the survival of Taiwanese veterans, the drama will reveal a little-known history of a large number of young students who were arrested and forced to retreat to Taiwan on the eve of liberation. In the film, Li Zonghan, a powerful young student from the mainland, starred in Sun Hou-cheng, the male lead who was arrested by the army to save his relatives. In order to reproduce the special history of the capture of the army, Li Zonghan repeatedly filmed scenes of escape, rescue and beating in hot weather. He joked that this time, shooting literary films is more difficult than previous martial arts films such as "Guan Yunchang".

　　In "Face Introduction", Li Zonghan plays Sun Houcheng, a well-educated young man who was born in a big house in Qingdao. He goes home with his younger brother, but he encounters soldiers who capture him on the way. Although the two try to escape, Sun Houcheng is still knocked unconscious and taken away to save his younger brother. From then on, he has been in Taiwan for 60 years, away from his hometown, away from his parents, and away from his new wife. He said that his role in Sun Houcheng this time is like experiencing a condensed life. He not only understands the lifestyle of the young master of Qingdao Dazhamen in 1949, but also experiences the displacement and bitterness of Taiwanese veterans who were forced to leave their hometown during the war.

　　In order to film the key scenes known as the "twist of fate" of the male protagonist, Li Zonghan ignored the hot weather and the old injury on his waist, and cooperated with the director from long-range, close-up to close-up, repeatedly filmed several big scenes of escape, rescue, and beating. For his professionalism and excellent acting skills, director Li Youning praised and bluntly said that Li Zonghan’s performance gave him a lot of new inspiration. Li Zonghan, who spent 4 hours "tossing" for the capture scene, laughed that he did not expect this literary film to be more difficult than previous martial arts films such as "Sword Rain" and "Guan Yunchang", but he also said that the story of "Face Introduction" is very attractive, and it is worth working hard for such a good movie.

Wahaha plummeted by more than 20 billion yuan, and the Nutrition Express is still struggling to support its performance

2024年9月2日 | admin | history

"2016 China’s top 500 private enterprises released the report" shows that in 2015 Wahaha operating income 49.40 billion yuan, compared with 2014 revenue plummeted more than 20 billion yuan, causing industry attention.

Industry analysts believe that the real main reason for Wahaha’s decline in performance lies in its aging brand, lack of star products, and too single market.

Revenue plummeted by more than 20 billion yuan　

2015 revenue plummeted more than 20 billion yuan, equivalent to losing the entire nutrition fast line, Wahaha performance decline once disclosed quickly caused concern and concern in the industry. According to publicly disclosed data, 2013-2015 Wahaha revenue were 78.30 billion yuan, 72.80 billion yuan and 49.40 billion yuan, showing a downward trend year by year.

Regarding the plunge in revenue in 2015, Wahaha responded that the main reason was that the data of Hongsheng Beverage Group Co., Ltd., which was controlled by Zong Qinghou’s daughter Zong Fuli, was not consolidated. In addition, online rumors and product transformation and upgrading also had a certain impact.

The official stressed that Wahaha’s current production and sales are normal, and the company has paid 3.10 billion yuan in taxes to the state from January to July this year. "Not only does the company not have a penny of bank loans, but it also has tens of billions of yuan in deposits."

Zong Qinghou said recently that the beverage industry is facing a downward trend. Wahaha’s growth rate fell from more than 20% in previous years to 4% last year and only 2% in the first half of this year. For the reason of the decline, Zong Qinghou concluded that it was affected by malicious attacks on online rumors.

"China’s beverage industry will always be a sunrise company, and as long as it is done well, I think it will always develop healthily. Because no matter what, people always want to eat and drink."

Nutrition Express still supports Wahaha’s performance

In Wahaha’s entire product system, there is an over-reliance on individual products. According to Wahaha’s previously disclosed figures, as of the end of 2014, Wahaha had a total of more than 100 categories of milk beverages, bottled water, carbonated beverages, tea beverages, juice beverages and functional beverages. Among many products, Nutrition Express, which has a product age of nearly ten years, is still the largest single product supporting Wahaha’s performance.

According to public data, the sales of Nutrition Express in 2013 exceeded 20 billion yuan, which means that this single product alone contributed about 1/4 of Wahaha’s performance. The previous online rumors that Nutrition Express contains Botox also caused Wahaha’s performance to suffer, and the revenue loss was said to be as high as 5 billion yuan.

According to industry insiders, the sales performance of old products such as Nutrition Express, AD calcium milk, and purified water has accounted for more than half of Wahaha’s overall revenue, and the market performance of these large single products is also declining. With the rise of new beverage brands, Wahaha Nutrition Express’s market share is also gradually shrinking. In the bottled water sector, brands such as Nongfu Spring and China Resources Yibao have made competition more intense and continue to occupy Wahaha’s market share of purified water.

Food Industry Researcher, China Brand Research InstituteZhu Danpeng believes that the aging of the Wahaha brand is manifested in three aspects: first, Zong Qinghou is still addicted to the business philosophy of the late 1990s and early 2000s; second, the entire Wahaha executive team has been working hard with Zong Qinghou for many years and has been assimilated seriously. It cannot make changes in time for market changes; third, market research and development is "like a boiled frog", innovation is delayed, and the success rate of new products is getting lower and lower.

Wahaha’s self-help requires innovation

With the decline of the third- and fourth-tier markets and more intense competition, since the end of 2015, Wahaha has seen its own shortcomings and decided to make up for the shortcomings of the mainstream market in first- and second-tier cities. Subsequently, Wahaha launched some new products to meet the needs of first- and second-tier mainstream consumer groups. Wahaha launched some new beverages, such as C drive, coconut milk vegetable protein drink "Come and squeeze", blood orange juice, etc., but failed to win market recognition.

For Wahaha’s new strategy, Zhu Danpeng is not very optimistic, believing that Wahaha’s brand power and recognition in first- and second-tier cities have declined very severely. At present, Wahaha’s brand recognition and price positioning are mainly in third- and fourth-tier markets, but in the price range of more than 5 or 6 yuan, Wahaha basically has no products.

For Wahaha’s future prospects, industry analysts believe that if it fails to achieve brand rejuvenation, product innovation, and a redefinition of its marketing model, Wahaha’s performance will accelerate its decline.

These enterprises were exposed at the 315 party. Did you fall for it？

2024年9月1日 | admin | history

　　 Today is the International Consumer Rights Day. This year’s CCTV 315 party focuses on rural consumption and old-age consumption, exposing and cracking down on illegal business practices, and also conducting experiments to crack all kinds of rumors encountered in everyone’s daily life, giving early warning tips on consumer risks.

　　 So what are the listed companies tonight?

　　 The first bomb: Volkswagen Touareg

　　 "Volkswagen Touareg" is afraid of getting wet, and the engine is frequently scrapped! Talk to me about cross-country with what?

　　 The trouble of engine water intake occurs frequently, and the time is concentrated in June-September, which is a rainy season, and the design problem of the air intake of Touareg is the main reason for water intake.

　　 When the car engine once water … Owners have said.

　　 "The engine shuts down automatically, and I can’t hit it anymore …"

　　 "The steering wheel can’t move, and the brakes can’t stop. It’s really resigned …"

Solution: Unplug the drain valve (a global solution given by the German headquarters).

　　 At present, many Touareg car owners whose rights and interests have been infringed are still waiting for maintenance in 4S shops. Faced with such a solution, car owners also expressed their concern, which will also reduce the wading depth of Touareg cars. "We don’t dare to cross the country, and we don’t dare to wade, which means that the significance of buying this car does not exist."

In the shooting picture, the staff member’s reply was on fire: "God creates people with flaws, not to mention cars?" I cann’t argue …

　　 Before the broadcast of the 315 party, Volkswagen has announced the recall of some Touareg cars as soon as possible.

The second bomb: shanzhai drink

The second bomb: shanzhai drink

　　 There are no walnuts in the "walnut and peanut" beverage: a can of "additive juice" is exchanged for 8000 bottles of beverages, and most of them flow into the rural market.

　　 Many enterprises in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province have copied a large number of popular drinks in the market, such as walnut dew, walnut and peanut drinks, almond dew, and some even imitated the packaging design. Some manufacturers told reporters that these products are generally sold to third-and fourth-tier cities and rural markets.

　　 What about "walnut dew"? Acesulfame K, potassium sorbate, walnut essence … all kinds of additives, but no walnuts! Walnut dew is blended with peanut butter, and the merchant gives the reason: peanut butter is cheap! Only fools beat walnut pulp.

　　 In addition to following the trend in product types, many companies also take pains in outer packaging. There is only one more word for "six pure walnuts"; "Six-year-old Walnut" and "Six-grain Walnut". Appearance design, packaging color, composition and spokesperson image are also the main contents of their imitation, which makes it difficult to distinguish. These imitative products are mainly sold to some third-and fourth-tier cities and rural markets.

Enterprises involved:

　　 Zaozhuang chukang foods co., ltd

　　 Zaozhuang jinshunyuan foods co., ltd

　　 Zaozhuang yixiangyuan food technology co., ltd

　　 Zaozhuang xuri food beverages co., ltd

　　 The third bomb: the lottery scam

　　 Buy jewelry, and you can get thousands of gifts by lottery? Really so lucky?

　　 In a jewelry craft gift shop in Chunxi Road, Chengdu, the reporter bought a souvenir and received four lottery tickets. Unexpectedly, the first prize was scraped, and the salesperson excitedly told the reporter that one or three pieces of jewelry could be taken away for free.

　　 However, when the reporter selected a gold and jade pendant with a price of 5830 yuan, the salesperson suddenly changed his mouth and asked the reporter to bear 18% of the appraisal fee.

　　 The old salesman of a specialty store revealed the mystery: in fact, the store deliberately "arranges" dozens of customers to win the first prize every day. In order to cheat customers’ trust, the salesperson’s on-the-spot performance is in place.

　　 What is even more surprising is that the wholesale price of jade ornaments with a price of several thousand to ten thousand yuan at the lottery counter is only a few tens to more than one hundred yuan in the jewelry city. Salesperson: "On these deceived customers, you can earn 30,000 yuan a day."

The fourth bomb: "black heart" water pipe

The fourth bomb: "black heart" water pipe

　　 High-density polyethylene double-arm corrugated pipe, commonly known as corrugated pipe, is mainly used for municipal drainage in residential areas, and is a large number of drainage pipes used in recent years. The reporter found that there is a kind of water pipe on the market, which is one-third cheaper than the product of "National Standard Edition" because cheap recycled materials are added in the production process.

　　 Some insiders said that many recycled materials are made of foreign garbage. Such pipes are prone to leakage, rupture and tube explosion when buried underground for a long time, which will directly affect public safety.

　　 In fact, some practitioners know very well that the water pipes with recycled materials can’t meet the requirements, but they still let the problem products flow to the market through hidden fraudulent means.

Enterprises involved:

　　 Xinzheng haotong pipeline industry co., ltd

　　 Jiangyin Yangtze river tubing company

　　 Luoyang jiutong pipeline industry co., ltd

　　 Jiangyin Daban plastic industry co., ltd

　　 Xinzheng kangtai tube industry company

　　 Zhongyi building materials technology co., ltd

　　 Fifth bullet: cut corners on road markings.

In some urban trunk roads, national highways and even expressways, there are markings with no obvious reflective effect. The resulting security risks.

　　 In order to save the cost of highway marking, the content of mixed glass beads in dealers is 8%, which is far lower than the national standard of 18~25%. Qualified products are used for inspection. Reflective coatings that fail to meet the standard will fail in three months.

　　 During the investigation, the reporter found that the whole process of road reflective marking from raw material production to construction marking, cutting corners and seriously failing to meet the national standards, is not an isolated phenomenon in the industry.

The companies involved are:

　　 ? Wuhan Xinjincheng chemical co., ltd

　　 ? Wuhan sifangda communications engineering co., ltd

　　 ? Guangzhou yanhua traffic facilities co., ltd

　　 At present, the Ministry of Communications has investigated and dealt with the enterprises involved, and re-examined the relevant road sections. At the same time, they have also deployed a one-year special campaign for quality control of highway markings nationwide.

　　 In addition, CCTV also announced a number of consumption warnings, including:

　　 Food is a rumor.

　　 Is food reliable? Crabs and tomatoes can’t be eaten together? Eating together equals taking arsenic? Rumor of CCTV 315 experiment: fake!

　　 Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, said that taking tomatoes and crabs together will not produce arsenic and will not make people poisoned, which has been proved by both simulated experiments and real human experiments.

　　 CCTV also revealed that the "China Nutrition Association", which recommended all kinds of foods, was an illegal organization. The formal and legal name of the organization should be "China Nutrition Society". A word difference, but the difference is very big.

　　 In addition, I bought a simulated cabbage in spring, I ate an injected watermelon in summer, the peanuts faded in autumn, and the staple food in winter can actually burn with additives … These are all rumors!

It is dangerous to take the elevator with hole shoes.

　　 When children wear hole shoes and take the escalator, it is easy to have potential safety hazards. Because the material of hole shoes is soft, easy to deform, with high coefficient of friction, children are lively and active, and curiosity is strong, so when you take the escalator, your feet move around, and you are prone to accidents if you are not careful. CCTV also simulated the scene of children wearing hole shoes and riding the escalator.

Don't buy a modified battery

Don’t buy a modified battery

　　 When the battery of electric vehicle is overcharged, it is very easy to cause explosion, and then it will ignite other parts of the car body, releasing a lot of toxic smoke in the process, resulting in loss of personnel and property.

　　 In recent years, there have been many fire accidents caused by electric bicycles in China, and 80% of them are caused by overcharge of the batteries of electric bicycles.

　　 Cool cycling deposit is difficult to refund.

Some consumers in the program said: "The deposit for cool cycling can't be refunded, which is equivalent to public robbery!"

Some consumers in the program said: "The deposit for cool cycling can’t be refunded, which is equivalent to public robbery!"

　　 According to the survey of China Consumers Association, 34 enterprises in bike-sharing have closed down, and China Consumers Association has received many complaints from consumers that the deposit cannot be refunded. Among them, cool cycling is particularly serious, with 210,000 complaints from consumers, involving more than 1 billion yuan. China Consumers Association applied for law enforcement to file a case and the National People’s Congress to supervise the deposit collection of online platforms and legislate as soon as possible.

　　 More than 60% toothbrushes imported from Japan and South Korea do not meet the national standard.

　　 Liaoning Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau: 60% of toothbrushes imported from Japan and South Korea are unqualified.

　　 Liaoning Inspection and Quarantine Bureau conducted a sampling inspection of 20 kinds of Japanese and Korean toothbrushes sold in Dalian market. A large number of imported toothbrushes have acute angles at the top of toothbrush wires and burrs that easily damage oral soft tissues, which do not meet our national product standards for toothbrushes.

　　 The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) conducted spot checks on toothbrushes nationwide, and interviewed the silent dealers for more than 40 times, and recruited 516,000 pieces. In 2018, imported toothbrushes were listed in the inspection and quarantine catalogue.

The high-end drinking water of Nongfu Spring points to Evian and Paris water, but it encounters resistance from residents of the water source

The sales of its own high-end drinking water are not good. In order to "save the country by the curve", Nongfu Spring purchased a water source land in New Zealand. I didn’t expect that as soon as it was excavated, it encountered widespread resistance from the public. In fact, Nongfu Spring is not the only Chinese company targeting the water source in New Zealand. With the "joint efforts" of these companies, New Zealand is in danger of being "hollowed out".

01. Thousands of people "boycotted" Nongfu Spring

On Sunday, residents of the northern New Zealand city of Tauranga held a protest against "foreign-owned enterprises" collecting and bottling water in the local area. People placed more than 2,000 waste plastic bottles on Mt Maunganui Beach and pulled out various banners. The scene was quite spectacular.

Protesters said the campaign was aimed at a series of water extraction operations in New Zealand carried out by Cresswell NZ (hereinafter referred to as: Creswell), a factory owned by the Chinese company Nongfu Spring.

Heidi Hughes, a spokesperson for the protest group, said, "We just wanted to show it to everyone, 2,000 bottles, which is the number of bottles produced per minute at Cresswell’s new Otakiri factory."

However, Cresswell, a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring, immediately denied the claim. Food Jun noticed that Michael Gleissner, managing director of Cresswell, said in an interview with foreign media that the figure was "very exaggerated because the factory does not operate 24 hours a day."

According to public information, in October 2016, Creswell, a wholly-owned New Zealand company owned by Nongfu Spring, was registered; in June last year, Creswell officially purchased the "Otakiri Springs" bottled water factory near Wakatani, North Island, New Zealand. The company’s water source is taken from deep underground, and its products include gas-containing and non-gas, and are available in glass bottles and PET packaging specifications. According to Otakiri’s official website, both gas-containing and non-gas-containing 300ml bottled drinking water are priced at 3 New Zealand dollars (equivalent to about 13 yuan).

At the same time, the New Zealand government approved Cresswell’s expansion plans. Cresswell reportedly plans to build two more bottling plants in nearby Murupara, and hopes to increase groundwater extraction from 2 million litres per year to 580 million litres per year, a 290-fold increase in capacity; to this end, the company intends to buy and lease 6.2 hectares of land in Otakiri.

According to a New Zealand media report, "China’s bottled water giant has been approved by the government to purchase the Bay of Plenty, and the annual extraction capacity exceeds 1 billion liters of drinking water, most of which will be exported to China." According to the data released by foreign media, Creswell’s production capacity will increase by an astonishing 500 times.

Cresswell’s expansion plan will also add extra freight trucks to the area, adding to the pressure on local traffic. "Cresswell’s materials indicate that the plant will have 200 trucking trips a day, which translates to one truck and trailer passing by every three minutes," said Heidi Hughes. "We’re really crowded here already."

More worrying for the local population is the "low-cost plundering" of New Zealand’s water resources by Chinese companies.

Under New Zealand law, freshwater that flows naturally is considered a public good, and "no one has ownership of the water", so water is free. Household water only needs to pay for the maintenance of water pipelines; commercial water such as agriculture and horticulture needs to apply to regional councils for resource permits and pay a nominal fee. Water is usually extracted in daily or annual rations, with flow caps attached.

It is worth noting that because New Zealand’s water is a public good, it doesn’t cost money to pump it into mineral water and export it to other countries.

The latest poll by New Zealand research agency Newshub-ReidResearch shows that 87% of New Zealanders are unhappy that exporters get water almost free and then export it abroad for a large profit.

In the face of various "doubts", the official of Nongfu Spring insists that the exploitation of local water resources is reasonable.

"There is an error in the description of the amount of extraction in the above foreign media reports. The total amount applied by Nongfu Spring does not exceed 1.10 million tons per year. The local groundwater resources are abundant, and 35% of the total amount can be used for water extraction; while the maximum amount applied by Nongfu Spring only accounts for 4.9% of this 35%, which will not affect the local groundwater. This amount of extraction is a normal and reasonable amount for a large-scale bottled water production plant, and it can completely maintain sustainable development." Zhou Li, secretary of the board of directors of Nongfu Spring joint stock company, told Food Jun.

02. High-end is not conducive to overseas "learning from experience"

In recent years, Nongfu Spring, China’s largest producer of bottled water, has targeted the New Zealand market. The New Zealand government has also "welcomed Nongfu Spring". For example, the New Zealand Trade Development Agency has provided significant assistance to China’s Nongfu Spring Company to enter the New Zealand market.

In August 2015, after receiving the invitation of the New Zealand Trade Development Bureau, the senior management of Nongfu Spring officially went to New Zealand. What attracted the attention of the outside world was that Zhong Shanxuan, the head of Nongfu Spring, also came to New Zealand, which was enough to prove the attractiveness of the New Zealand market to Nongfu Spring. The Otakiri Springs bottled water factory was favored by Nongfu Spring’s senior management at that time, and the Nongfu Spring delegation even took samples of bottled water produced locally and brought them back to China.

In April 2016, during a visit to China, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key met with 10 Chinese entrepreneurs in Shanghai, among whom Zhong was one, and the two discussed Nongfu Spring’s investment in New Zealand.

Documents released under the Official Information Act show that officials at the trade development agency are not only nominally supportive of Nongfu Spring, but also involved in many specific processes. Under the arrangement of the trade development agency, the New Zealand authorities approached Nongfu Spring and listed suitable water plants for acquisition. In total, the trade development agency has offered Nongfu Spring five potential acquisition targets. Two of them are ready-made bottled water plants, and the remaining three are also promising.

If you don’t manage the rental well, you will get rid of the team. How is the progress after the party secretary gets angry？

2024年8月17日 | admin | history

　　On February 1, Zheng Junkang, the secretary of the Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee of Guangxi, "angrily scolded" the city’s transportation bureau for not managing the taxi chaos, triggering a heated debate across the country. Ten days later, the secretary said again, asking the public security to take action to rectify the taxi, strictly investigating the monopoly and "black" situation. Half a month has passed, how about the rectification of the taxi chaos in Liuzhou City?　　

On February 13, people took a taxi in front of the Liuzhou bus terminal.

　　The secretary angrily scolded the transportation bureau: it is not good to manage the rental and take down the entire team

　　Previously, in Liuzhou railway station, airport and other places, taxi drivers did not set meters, sat on the ground to raise prices, refused to carry passengers, "picking and choosing", and pooling passengers to charge indiscriminately. This series of chaos has often been reported in the newspapers and has been criticized by citizens and tourists.

　　On the 1st, Zheng Junkang, secretary of the Communist Party of China’s Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee, put down his harsh words against the taxi chaos. He ordered the city’s transportation department to manage the taxi chaos within two months, otherwise it will be held accountable. He said: "The relevant departments can’t control this phenomenon, right? If you don’t manage it well, you will be dealt with by the entire team. If you don’t dare to control it, you will send someone who dares to control it."

　　After being named, the Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau said it would use the most severe measures to rectify "chaos". The Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau studied and formulated the "Liuzhou Taxi Car" Chaos "special project centralized rectification action plan", and carried out arrangements for taxi rectification actions. The city’s comprehensive traffic law enforcement detachment increased the intensity of road law enforcement and invested in unannounced visits to investigate and deal with taxis who were reported and complained. After filing a case, the reward was 200 yuan for **** people.

On the 13th, taxis in front of Liuzhou Railway Station entered the waiting point in an orderly manner to wait for passengers.

　　Unannounced visit: How is the taxi chaos rectified?

　　After a series of rectification for half a month, how is the current taxi chaos in Liuzhou? On the 13th, the reporter visited the Liuzhou Railway Station, Bus Terminal, South Bus Station, Airport and other problem-prone areas.

　　On February 13, people in Liuzhou Railway Station queued up in an orderly manner to take a taxi.

　　A warning sign was set up on the side of the road near the railway station, prohibiting taxis from parking and picking up passengers at will, and all taxis were only allowed to wait for passengers at the specified location… I saw a long queue of passengers in an orderly manner in front of the taxi waiting point at the railway station, and the staff of the Comprehensive Traffic Law Enforcement Detachment commanded here to help passengers stop cars and supervise taxis to regulate passengers. There were also taxi reporting and complaint phone warning signs on the scene, and it was difficult to see traces of "starting prices on the ground", "refusing to load" and "pooling".

　　On February 13, in front of the railway station in Liuzhou City, a prompt was set up to prohibit cruise taxis from picking up and dropping off passengers.

　　That night, when a passenger asked to put his luggage in a seat after taking a taxi, the taxi driver refused. At the scene, the staff of the Liuzhou Traffic Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment stepped forward to coordinate. The staff member said: "From 7:00 to 24:00 every day, there are additional law enforcement officers on duty to strengthen the management of taxi operation order."

　　At the South Bus Station, many passengers were able to reach taxis on the road in front of the station, and some taxi drivers got off to help passengers carry their luggage and place it in the trunk.

There are complaint telephone warning signs set up in the taxi and other passenger areas of Liuzhou Railway Station.

　　Although taxi chaos has been regulated to a certain extent, there are still "picking passengers" and "refusing to take them" in some areas. At the exit of the Liuzhou bus terminal, several taxis were waiting for passengers in the taxi passenger waiting area. At this time, Ms. Zeng came to take a taxi with a 26-inch suitcase and several boxes of apples, but was rejected. Ms. Zeng said that she was going to Liunan, but was rejected by a driver on the grounds that the road was a one-way street. Unfortunately, because Ms. Zeng had too much luggage, she could not carry things across the road to take a taxi by herself, so she had to wait in place for her family to pick her up.

　　Shortly after, another group of two adults and three children were about to take a taxi here, but the driver forcibly carpooled and asked them to wait for other passengers to leave. The passenger believed that there were already five people in the group who were unwilling to carpool and left to find a car.

　　In addition to the designated area, across the road from the bus terminal, the reporter observed that there were also many passengers waiting for a taxi, and most of the taxis were metered. The reporter randomly took a taxi to a destination one kilometer away. The driver did not think the distance was too close or shared a car, but went directly by metered.

Taxi passenger waiting area in front of Liuzhou Bus Terminal on February 13.

　　Strictly investigate monopolies and "black" situations

　　Previously, many people responded that taxis at Liuzhou Airport never used a meter, and the fare was one price. And taxis reported that Liuzhou Airport only allowed a small number of taxis who paid the fare to pick up passengers in the designated area in front of the terminal building, resulting in this situation. To this end, the Liuzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission Discipline Inspection Team in the city and the Municipal Price Bureau launched an investigation and handling. After investigation, Liuzhou Airport, on the grounds of anti-terrorism, controlled a certain number of taxis to pick up passengers in the front area of the terminal building, charging 200 yuan per month. Only 50 taxis registered at Liuzhou Airport were allowed to undertake passenger transportation business at the airport, and other taxis could not enter the front area of the terminal to wait for passengers.

　　The practice of Liuzhou Airport restricts and excludes competition, resulting in taxis that have not been registered at Liuzhou Airport carrying passengers from the urban area to the airport after unloading passengers cannot enter the terminal to carry passengers. Unregistered taxis have the phenomenon of emptying the return journey. In order to make up for the loss caused by the return journey, taxi drivers charge passengers in the direction of the airport without meters.

　　On February 3, Liuzhou Price Bureau issued a "Notice of Order to Correct" to Liuzhou Airport, requiring Liuzhou Airport to correct immediately from the date of receipt of the notice. On February 4, Liuzhou Airport cancelled airport taxi parking fees and cancelled airport taxi filing limits.

　　At the same time, the Liuzhou Public Security Bureau has launched a month-long centralized rectification operation to comprehensively strengthen the rectification of taxi chaos and vigorously promote the rectification of five cars. If the evil forces involving taxis and "five cars" are found in the rectification operation, the public security organs will implement "zero tolerance" to crack down on them.

On February 13, staff of Liuzhou Transportation Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Team guided passengers to take a taxi in front of the railway station.

　　Can it be controlled or not?

　　At present, there are 11 cruise taxi enterprises in Liuzhou, and the number of cruise taxis is 2,398. Taxi refusal, arbitrary charging, carpooling and other chaos are management problems derived from the development of the taxi industry, and have always been the key rectification goals of taxi industry management departments across the country.

　　Regarding the chaos of taxis in Liuzhou City, the Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Administration responded: "There is no phenomenon that I dare not control, and there is no situation that I cannot control."

　　Hong Weilin, director of Liuzhou Road Transport Management Office, introduced that in recent years, the impact of online car-hailing and the increase in private car ownership have led to a sharp drop in the income of cruise taxi drivers, and some drivers expect to increase their income through carpooling and bargaining. At the same time, the taxi market is sluggish, the quality of the workforce is reduced, the main responsibility of the operator, and the weakening of administrative supervision have all led to taxi chaos.

　　After half a month of rectification, as of now, the Liuzhou Traffic Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment has carried out rectification and investigation of a total of 854 cruising taxis, accepted a total of 76 complaints, and verified that 1 complaint with prizes has been honored.

　　According to the rectification plan, anyone who refuses to intercept, negotiate, forcibly splice passengers, take a detour, or dump passengers halfway will be fined 2,000 yuan. Among them, a taxi with a license plate of Gui BT3935 from the car rental branch of Liuzhou Second Transportation Liability Co., Ltd. committed crimes against the wind within 3 days, and there were 2 illegal acts, and two fines of 1,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan were issued. A taxi with a license plate of Gui BT9762 from Liuzhou Tongbang Automobile Transportation Co., Ltd. has been temporarily detained for bargaining charges without dealing with the previous illegal act.

On February 13, people took a taxi at Liuzhou South Bus Station, and the driver got off to help carry luggage.

　　Rectification is not a gust of wind

　　Nowadays, the informatization construction of the taxi industry in Liuzhou has not kept up with the development of the times, and the on-board facilities have been seriously implemented. Some management systems in the industry have caused daily management to be difficult to be in place, and road law enforcement inspections alone cannot achieve overdue results. It is necessary to improve the long-term management mechanism and informatization construction as soon as possible.

　　Chen Jian, deputy director of the Liuzhou Transportation Bureau, said that in addition to increasing inspections and severe penalties for the chaos in the taxi industry, the city is planning to introduce some long-term management measures. These include the normalization of law enforcement supervision, the systematization of credit assessment, the intelligence of daily supervision, the popularization of civilization creation, the institutionalization of linkage management, and the legalization of operation management.

　　Through the development of a taxi driver registration system, unregistered taxi drivers will not be able to work in the future. At the same time, we will strengthen the assessment and management of taxi companies and drivers. Combined with administrative penalties and integrity assessments, we will study the blacklist mechanism. If it is serious, the driver’s qualification certificate will be cancelled, and other companies will not be allowed to hire again. In addition, we will use big data to improve on-board facilities and equipment, conduct scientific management, and use scientific and technological means to strengthen the supervision of drivers.
