75 years of Vespa Piaggios fully electric future

Status: 23.06.2021 8:15 a.m.

The Vespa, Piaggio’s most popular product, has been around for 75 years. Thanks to Corona, business is booming. Nevertheless, the Italian two-wheeler manufacturer wants to reposition itself strategically.

By Jörg Seisselberg, ARD-Studio Rome, currently in Milan

There is a good mood in Via Broletto. At the Milanese headquarters of Piaggio, not far from the famous cathedral, Maurizio Carletti is sitting in his office on the third floor and is bubbling over with optimism. “I hope this year will be the best,” says the Piaggio Vice President, “we are about to achieve results in 2021 that are really extremely remarkable.”

The figures for the first three months of the year: Piaggio sold over a fifth – 22 percent – more vehicles than in the same period of 2019 before the Covid crisis. Net sales are the highest in 14 years. These are golden times for the company.

Two-wheelers sought-after alternatives in times of crisis

One reason is that scooters and motorcycles are in demand in the corona pandemic – as an alternative to bus and train travel. Among other things, those responsible at Europe’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer had counted on it. At the plant in Pontedera, Tuscany, they kept working almost at full speed during the pandemic, apart from the weeks of complete lockdown in spring 2020. Now the Piaggio dealers have the vehicles that are in demand. In addition, analyst Monica Bosio says that Piaggio is benefiting from its platform strategy, which was introduced years ago, of lowering costs. The result: Piaggio is currently in the “best economic situation” since going public in 2006. “I would say,” says Bosio, “that the company is in excellent health”.

There is still room for improvement in e-mobility

From the height of its current success, the traditional Italian company is working on perhaps the most important future task: not to miss the connection to e-mobility. In the market for electric scooters and motorcycles, Piaggio has to make up ground, with market shares only in the lower single-digit percentage range. “Maybe there was a bit of a delay. But Piaggio is in the process of catching up,” said analyst Bosio.

One reason for the “delay” is that Piaggio has always positioned its vehicles in the upper part of the market in terms of price. So far, this also applies to the new world of e-scooters. Piaggio launched an electric-powered version of the iconic Vespa – and only sold a few copies. The E-Vespa is almost twice as expensive as some competing products. Next month, Piaggio will make the next attempt and want to start selling its new electric model in Europe. It’s called Piaggio One, was presented at the Beijing Auto Show and targets the entry-level electric market, which is dominated by models with a purchase price of up to 3000 euros. “One allows us to go into a price segment that we cannot reach with the Vespa at the moment,” says Vice President Carletti, confidently adding: “Now we will be represented in this segment, but with Piaggio quality.” The brand’s reputation, European production quality, the close international network of dealerships and workshops as well as a now competitive price should give Piaggio a new boost in e-mobility.

Conquer the sharing market with a cheaper model?

So far, the gasoline giant Piaggio is still lagging behind in the electric world. Also because sharing services and rental companies struggle with Piaggio’s expensive e-Vespa. This could change now, believes analyst Bosio: “With the Piaggio One you are trying to close the gap”. Sharing services have so far made up a large part of the e-scooter market in Europe. Piaggio is not competitive here in terms of price. “With Piaggio One, however, it cannot be ruled out,” says the analyst, “that there will be a presence again in this market.”

When asked, Piaggio Vice President Carletti, who is responsible for Europe among other things, does not rule out that Piaggio will also be active in the sharing sector with its new model. Getting active again – because six years ago the Italians tried their hand at the scooter sharing business. A model project with Piaggio MP3 scooters in Rome and Milan was quickly discontinued for cost reasons, shortly before the global sharing trend took off.

Standard replacement battery as the key to success

At Piaggio, the question of batteries is crucial for the future of e-scooters. Those in charge of the Italian company dream of e-scooter filling stations where drivers don’t have to spend a lot of time charging their batteries, but can quickly exchange an almost empty battery for a full one. The Piaggio managers do not consider it realistic for customers to charge their scooters for half an hour at a charging station. Vice-boss Carletti admits that he himself becomes restless if he has to wait a few minutes for his predecessor to finish at the gas station.

Therefore, the principle in the future of e-electric should be: pull the batteries out of your scooter, put them in a compartment at an e-charging point and pull out another, charged battery. Uniform battery connections in the industry would be a prerequisite. That is why Piaggio has teamed up with competitors KTM, Honda and Yamaha in a consortium for the vision of the battery swap. The goal: to develop standardized batteries for all future e-scooters and e-motorcycles

On June 18, Eastern Time, Wanwushengsheng Group, which owns brands such as Aihuihui, was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and became the “first ESG stock in China’s concept stocks”, with a rise of 32.07% on the first day of trading.

AIED is the top international conference in the field of educational applications. It is organized by the International Association for Artificial Intelligence Education (IAIED). It is famous for “providing high-quality research intelligent systems and cognitive scientific methods for the field of educational computing applications”. The included papers are representative The latest development direction and level of artificial intelligence in the field of education applications. The five papers included this time are based on the results of NLP and multi-modal learning research based on real application scenarios in the future, and are implemented in specific businesses, covering composition correction, automatic problem solving, teaching behavior analysis, teaching quality evaluation, and teacher Personalized matching and other topics.

Breakthroughs in the field of NLP and multimodal learning, Implement multiple teaching scenarios

There is a huge difference between the teaching scene of online education and traditional offline education. Many teachers are accustomed to face-to-face teaching to students in offline classrooms. When facing the cameras of computers and other equipment, they are often inexperienced and it is difficult to fully control the classroom. They often miss or miss the best time to issue teaching instructions, such as encouraging students, Remind students to take notes, etc. Good Future AI Research Institute hopes to use an automated system to capture important teaching instructions and provide feedback to help improve teachers’ online teaching level. This idea is implemented in the “Multi-Task Learning based Online Dialogic Instruction Detection with Pre-trained Language Models” included in AIED2021. The teaching proposed in the article The instruction detection method has been launched and applied to the GodEye classroom quality detection system developed by Haowei to provide detection services for online teaching behaviors.

In the GodEye system, the performance of teachers and students in the classroom can be presented digitally, the overall course quality, the teaching situation of teachers and the learning state of students can be quantified, the classroom can be disassembled with data indicators, and the full-link management of the online classroom can be realized.

GodEye classroom quality inspection solution system structure GodEye has been widely used in Xueersi one-to-one business. During the 2020 epidemic, it will cumulatively analyze more than 4.6 million hours of online courses to provide underlying data support for improving the quality of teaching. After connecting to the system, the situation of teachers making timely teaching instructions in online courses has been improved. Taking the important teaching instruction “remind students to take notes” as an example, sampling analysis shows that as the number of days of use increases, teachers remind students to take notes. The number of times has gradually increased, effectively ensuring the quality of online teaching. The research results have made many firsts, accurately matching the needs of teachers and students It is reported that Good Future’s papers selected for this conference have created multiple industry firsts: for the first time, the teacher-student matching model under the online one-to-one teaching mode is modeled, and the history of class information and class behavior of analysts is used for each student. Match the right teacher accurately. With the blessing of AI technology in the future, it will be possible to achieve precise matching of teachers and students in the future, and customize personalized courses with “thousands of people and thousands of faces”, accelerating the arrival of the era of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. For the first time, Good Future also proposed an automatic evaluation method for key writing based on machine reading comprehension. Through machine reading, it can comprehend the title and composition, output the writing score, and can also display the key points in the student’s composition. In this way, students can understand which way of writing is correct in order to maintain good writing habits. At the same time, this method can also tell students which points are not responded to in the composition, help students avoid problems and improve methods, and improve writing skills and abilities. The traditional automatic scoring method can only provide a total score at the content level. Detailed special feedback requires the introduction of manual labor. In comparison, the new technology of the future can provide users with more feedback information and accelerate the feedback process. The research results have been used in the automatic composition scoring of English composition correction projects. Five years of sharpening a sword, good future AI achievements are outstanding Good future’s research results in the field of AI research stem from its understanding and attention to AI+ education. In recent years, Good Future has continuously increased its investment in AI research and development. At present, it has focused on the needs of education scenarios. It has accumulated research and development including 8 types of images, voice, data mining, natural language processing, etc., and more than 100 AI capabilities, creating more than 10 items. AI solutions are used in education scenarios, covering all teaching links of “preparation, teaching, practice, examination, evaluation, and management”. At present, Good Future has also commercialized a number of AI capabilities and widely used them in a number of internal businesses. For example, Good Future’s Chinese and English composition correction program can not only assist in checking and correcting grammatical errors, and help teachers improve the efficiency of correction, but also help students check the composition and quickly give the result of composition correction, which has become an industry benchmark. Introduction to Chinese and English composition correction function Good Future attaches great importance to technology research and development and the construction of the underlying scientific research capabilities, while not forgetting the original intention of “making education better”. It has established close industry-university-research cooperation with Tsinghua University, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other famous universities and Dozens of academic achievements of the students were selected into top international academic conferences such as ICASSP, NeurIPS, AAAI, WWW, EMNLP, AIED, NCME, etc. In the launch event of the Beijing National Artificial Intelligence Innovation Application Pilot Zone that just ended, Good Future served as the vice chairman unit of the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance, and as the only vice chairman unit from the education technology industry was invited to attend, shouldering the responsibility of advancing artificial intelligence. Industrial coordination and ecological construction will fully support the sustainable and healthy development of Beijing’s artificial intelligence industry. As the contractor of a new generation of artificial intelligence open innovation platform in the smart education country, Good Future will continue to adhere to the principles of source innovation, application-driven, and open sharing, assume the responsibility of promoting the integrated development of AI + education, and work with industry partners to help the education industry to become intelligent upgrade

Arab and Jewish Israelis Reconciliation as Economic factor

Status: 21.06.2021 6:04 p.m.

After the change of government in Israel, the multi-party coalition is faced with difficult tasks, above all the reconciliation between Israelis and Arabs. That would also help the country economically.

By Till Rüger, Muhamed Abofani and Mike Lingenfelser, ARD studio Tel Aviv

For the first time, Arab MPs are part of one Ruling coalition in Israel. The Islamic Ra’am party of Mansour Abbas provided the decisive votes for the so-called “Coalition of Change” of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. With a wafer-thin majority of just one vote it became so Long-term Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted out of the Likud. A historic moment for an underrated minority. Arab Israelis now make up around 21 percent of Israel’s citizens – and their number is growing. Officially, they have the same rights and duties as Jewish Israelis. But many feel disadvantaged, for example when it comes to job placement or training.

Feeling of second class citizens

The villages and residential areas of the Arab Israelis also usually have poorer infrastructure. They suffer from a high level of crime, which the police have so far failed to combat. Many Israeli Arabs therefore see themselves as second-class citizens. In its Inaugural address to the Knesset , the Israeli parliament, said the new Prime Minister Bennet of the right-wing Yamina party that his new government was opening a new chapter in relations with fellow Arabs. He wanted to eliminate imbalances in education and alleviate the housing shortage of the Bedouins in the south. Everyone has the right to live in dignity. During the eleven days of rocket bombardment from the Gaza Strip, the conflict broke out even more clearly than usual. Many cities and villages with a mixed population of Arab and Jewish Israelis such as Lod, Akko and Jaffo experienced the worst unrest in decades. The deep crack became visible even where both groups had previously lived largely peacefully together.

Deep distrust with historical roots

Almost all Arab Israelis lived in what is now Israel’s territory before the establishment of Israel in 1948. In the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, they did not flee and were not expelled. Many see themselves as sisters and brothers of the Palestinians in the West Bank or Gaza Strip.

After the recent unrest, many Jewish Israelis avoided the Arab residential areas, including some areas of Jaffo, the district in the south of Tel Aviv. The pubs and restaurants in Jaffo had reported up to 70 percent fewer Jewish guests than before the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. During the unrest, the government imposed curfews and cordoned off entire streets, but otherwise did little to counter the deep-seated mutual distrust.

Arab Israelis as an important economic factor

Private initiatives are different. The Israeli insurance company Harel, for example, posted large posters on Tel Aviv’s city motorway in Hebrew and Arabic: “The best insurance against violence is coexistence.” Many other companies followed suit with commercials and newspaper advertisements. Because the Arab Israelis are an important economic factor.

It was not until the later 1970s that a visible number of Arab Israelis began studying at an Israeli university, primarily in engineering, pharmacy and teaching. In the early 1990s, agriculture and the textile industry went downhill in Israel. Many Arab Israelis were active there.

At the same time, Russian immigrants came into the country. More than a million new homes had to be built, and so the Arab Israelis got access to a new economic sector: housing, road construction, electricity and gas management.

Locked out of the software industry

Around the year 2000 there was a small high-tech miracle in Israel: Many Israeli software companies were able to establish themselves worldwide. But this industry remained closed to the Arab Israelis because, among other things, it had to do with security issues. Many Arab computer scientists were not permanently employed.

Since then, the Arab Israelis have almost only chosen professions in which they could certainly find a job, for example in medicine or pharmacy. Many saw a solid education as the only way to improve economically. The Arab villages in Israel are now competing with each other to see who has more doctors per 1,000 inhabitants. Pharmacy and medicine are often dominated by the well-trained doctors and pharmacists from the Arab minority. In recent years, the Arab Israelis have rediscovered the high-tech industry. This is suffering from underemployment in Israel, and many start-ups are desperately looking for well-trained employees – a new opportunity for the Arab Israelis.

Unequal distribution of the workforce

If you look at the total number of employees, then the Jewish Israelis come to a good 83 percent. Conversely, this would mean that the Arab Israelis, together with the large number of Asian guest workers, make up less than 17 percent of the workforce in the country.

If you take a look at the figures from the Israeli statistics agency exactly where and how Arab Israelis are employed today, the distribution looks like this: 13 percent are unskilled, 42 percent are skilled workers in industry and construction. Two percent work in agriculture, 15 percent in the service sector, three percent in administration, five percent are engineers, eleven percent are academics and five percent run a company. The labor force participation of Jewish Israelis aged 15 and over was 65.0 percent in 2019, while that of Arab Israelis aged 15 and older was only 43.4 percent, mainly due to the significantly lower labor force participation of women.

Reconciliation as the primary goal

The reconciliation of the two population groups – also for economic reasons – is likely to become one of the most important tasks of the new government of Prime Minister Bennett and his Vice Yair Lapid of the liberal Center Party.

Only when the inner-Israeli conflict has calmed down, according to Middle East observers, the new government can look to the West Bank and Gaza again and tackle the peace process with the Palestinians, which has come to a complete standstill

For the last time, Nicholas emphasized that you must create a wallet before going on the mainnet, otherwise your Pi coins will not be transferred to the mainnet, the top priority! After digging for so long, you must not be careless. It is recommended to use your wallet to transfer coins to Pioneer every day, so that the core team thinks you are a real person, not a robot.

Original Nicholas: They will create, don’t worry. We will make the interface easier so that they create their wallets. But if someone doesn’t create a wallet then they cannot receive mainnet Pi at all. People need a wallet to access their pi.

Translation: Pi Network didn’t have to pay attention to creating a wallet. We will simplify the interface so that they can create a wallet. However, if someone does not create a wallet, then they will not be able to get the mainnet Pi at all. People need a wallet to access other people’s Pi.

We know that according to the Pai’s white paper, the current development process has entered the final stage, which is also the sprint stage, and it is also a very critical stage. The project team is very cautious about this! So there is no time to create a wallet.

Currently, pi network has announced more than 18 million active miners. This does not include those who are inactive, registered, and those who spend three days fishing on the net for two days. For a platform that has only been developed for two years to get such amazing data, it is simply a creation of God! How many internet platforms dream of results! Therefore, the project party has completed more than 90% of the progress in the second phase, which means that the entire project of π has been completed more than 95%. As for the third stage of the mainnet online site, it is very simple. So the majority of Pi friends start to get excited, the Pi coins we dig can be cashed out soon! The development trend of the blockchain has been unstoppable. Similarly, the development of pinetwork cannot be stopped. This is the general trend and the inevitable development of the times! There are more than 200 days left on the main net, and at least six coins are mined every day. In case the global barter consensus price of 100 dollars is reached after the main net is on the main net, it is equivalent to making 600 dollars a day. Because of the consensus on the source of currency value, since the current consensus is 100 US dollars, the value of each Pi after the mainnet is 100 US dollars, don’t miss it!

More and more electric cars Boom for Battery manufacturer

Status: 06/17/2021 10:13 a.m.

The growing number of e-cars on the streets is causing the battery market to grow strongly. One EU country in particular can catch up significantly with its Asian competition.

From Oliver Feldforth, MR

For years it was talked about, now the boom in electric mobility really seems to be there. Electric cars are very popular at a leading Frankfurt dealership. One seller says that what is delivered to him can also be easily sold.

The electric cars have contributed to the fact that the corona pandemic could not harm the battery market in Germany. Last year there was an increase of 35 percent. “Above all, the volume of the market for lithium-ion batteries has increased enormously,” says Christian Eckert from the Central Association of Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry ZVEI. Overall, this segment grew by 63 percent. And that is mainly due to electromobility.

The recycling rate should increase

A battery is only as green as the material and the electricity used to make it. Even the electric car is only as green as the electricity with which it is charged. When it comes to battery recycling, German industry is on the right track, said Christian Rosenkranz, Chairman of the ZVEI Batteries Association. The recycling rate for classic batteries is 80 to 90 percent, while it looks worse for lithium-ion batteries, which are in increasing demand. The industry wants to achieve a rate of 65 percent in four years.

Environmentalists see a need for action. “It is not only in Germany that we have to set high social and ecological standards for the production of batteries,” says Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “The car manufacturers are responsible for this, but politics must set clear rules for all companies.”

Poland leads the way in Europe

Germany imports batteries. The manufacturers from Europe overtook the Asian competition for the first time last year. In Europe, Poland is the leading producer, in Asia it is China, according to Christian Eckert from the ZVEI.

And electromobility will continue to grow. Volkswagen sees it that way too. The car manufacturer plans to set up six battery cell plants of its own in the next few years. According to Ralf Brandstätter, head of the Volkswagen brand, by 2030 at least 70 percent of all new Volkswagens in Europe should be electric vehicles, in North America and China more than half.

Solid-state batteries as the technology of the future

The decision as to which drive for cars comes after the classic combustion engine seems to have been decided for the time being. “The battery-electric drive is the most efficient and significantly more economical than fuel cells and combustion engines,” said Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “With the same amount of renewable electricity, a car with a fuel cell can only go half as far as a battery-electric one.”

In the case of car batteries, solid-state batteries are to replace lithium-ion technology. It does not require cobalt, which under questionable circumstances is mainly extracted in Africa. For environmentalists, electromobility is only part of the necessary turnaround in traffic. And so Greenpeace is also calling for a change in mobility towards an intelligent transport system in which bicycles, buses and trains play a bigger role

Digital consumer protection Vulnerabilities in health apps

As of: 16.06.2021 1:53 p.m.

In the corona pandemic, health apps have gained many users. For some, however, there is a lack of data protection. This was the result of a study by the Federal Office for Information Security. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) found numerous security gaps in an investigation of health apps. According to a BSI report, six out of seven thoroughly tested apps transmitted passwords in clear text to authentication services. None of the apps fully met the security requirements of the BSI guidelines for health apps. The BSI did not provide the names of the apps examined.

Exclusive 03/10/2021

Personal data is not adequately protected

“From the point of view of technical IT security, this result must at least be rated as critical, especially in view of the fact that a significant proportion of the apps process sensitive and particularly sensitive data”, criticized the office for taking care of the data security of the federal government. “Because, according to the findings of the study, this does not adequately protect user data against attacks.” The BSI checked the health apps as part of the first report on digital consumer protection 2020, which, due to the corona pandemic, focused on digital health offers.

background 07/11/2019

damage “first of all manageable”

The BSI expert Nicolas Stöcker described the danger for users of the criticized apps when exploiting the identified loopholes as “first of all manageable”. If an attack took place, it would initially only affect a single person. “It would be worse if the backend, where the data is kept, were also insecure.” The authority has a corresponding further investigation for the future “on the screen”, says Stocker. However, BSI President Arne Schönbohm warned that the deficiencies found were also dangerous: “Every gap that is there, every weak point that is there has somehow been exploited at some point.” They are currently working with the app providers to close the gaps. “If we see that this is not fixed, then we reserve the right to issue a corresponding product warning”said Schönbohm.

Missing computer chips Short-time work at VW and Daimler

Status: 16.06.2021 10:23 a.m.

Time and again, the production lines in car plants stand still – the manufacturers refer to the industry-wide shortage of chips. Now it hits Volkswagen and Daimler again. When will the situation improve? From Angela Göpfert, tagesschau.de There will be stoppages in the coming week at the VW main plant. In the Tiguan, Touran and Tarraco production as well as in the Golf production in the late and night shifts, the Wolfsburg switch to short-time work. In the Daimler plants in Bremen and Rastatt, short-time work is already the order of the day. The reason is once again the industry-wide shortage of chips.

06/08/2021

Interruptions cost billions

It is nowhere near the first time that the shortage of semiconductors has slowed automakers’ production. It was not until the end of May that the VW luxury subsidiary Audi at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations suffered production interruptions. BMW had been hit a few weeks earlier. The Ford plant in Cologne is also affected. The German auto industry is not alone with its problems: The US auto giant Ford calculates charges of around 2.5 billion dollars this year due to the lack of chips. The problems in the automotive industry have consequences for the entire economy. Just today, the researchers at the Munich Ifo Institute lowered their forecast for the growth of the German gross domestic product this year from 3.7 to 3.3 percent. To justify this, they also referred to bottlenecks in the delivery of intermediate products such as semiconductors.

Improvement in the third quarter?

It could take a few more weeks for a change for the better. According to experts, the automotive industry is heading for the lowest point. “We are facing the toughest six weeks,” said Murat Aksel, VW Board Member for Purchasing, recently in an interview with the “Handelsblatt”. The situation should improve again in the third quarter. Competitor Daimler also expects an improvement in the second half of the year. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) also estimates that the situation should ease from July.

Around four million cars less

Because of the lack of chips, automakers worldwide produced 1.4 million fewer cars in the first quarter and 1.6 million in the second quarter, the BCG experts calculate. For the entire year 2021, the failures are likely to amount to four to six million vehicles.

05/04/2021

The consulting firm Alix Partners in Munich estimates 3.9 million cars. This corresponds to a value of non-produced cars of around 91 billion euros.

Lessons from the shortage of chips

The car manufacturers have long since learned their lessons from the shortage of chips: They are carefully reviewing their supply chains and are not only expanding their warehousing for chips. After all, the supply chains have thinned out after a pandemic for more than a year, even for important intermediate products, for example in the chemical industry.

06/07/2021

Security of supply is suddenly a priority again after years of just-in-time delivery. Chip manufacturers are also taking strong countermeasures and are pushing ahead with expanding their capacities at full speed. In Germany, the new high-tech chip factory from Bosch ensure regional supplies.

Misjudgments as the cause

But how did it come to that? Where does this lack of chips come from, which is currently keeping the auto industry and its employees in suspense? With the outbreak of the corona pandemic, demand for cars collapsed and chip manufacturers cut their production plans.

05/31/2021

When the demand for new vehicles suddenly increased surprisingly in the summer of 2020, chip manufacturers such as Infineon or NXP were overwhelmed by the demand. The current chip shortage is therefore based on a whole series of misjudgments – on the part of car manufacturers and suppliers, but also on the part of chip manufacturers. The lack of chips also shows that the auto industry did not come through the Corona crisis as badly as feared.

We know that the Wei River, which flows through dozens of cities and counties in Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, is the largest tributary of the Yellow River. It has a total length of 818 kilometers and accommodates approximately 270 large and small rivers. It is one of the oldest rivers in China. This is the birthplace of the ancestors Fuxi and Nuwa in ancient Chinese legends. It is the origin of the first ancestors of the Chinese people, Xuanyuan Huangdi and Shennongyan. Legendary stories such as Emperor Wen’s “Baling Tuomeng” are one of the oldest habitats of the Chinese nation and one of the earliest birthplaces of Chinese culture. But who would have thought that the source of such a mighty Weihe River, which is dwindling thousands of miles day by day, is the three-eyed clear spring hidden in the depths of a mountain named after “birds and mice”? This mountain is the uncommon mountain Niaoshushan, which is known by the Scriptures. This eye spring is the “Pinzi Spring” in the deep forest on the south side of the mountain. Niaoshu Mountain, recorded in the “Shanhai Jing·Xishan Jing” as “Birds and Rats with the Same Cavern Mountain”, is located about 10 kilometers southwest of Weiyuan County, Gansu, and belongs to the remnant of Kunlun Mountains. It is the watershed of the two rivers of Tao and Wei. The birthplace of the Weihe River. There are many historical records about this mountain. For example, in Shangshu·Yugong, it was mentioned that Yu had “guided the Wei from the same cave and the mountain with birds and mice” during the water management. The record of “Niaoshushan in the south of Weiguting in Shouyang County, Longxi Province” and so on. The name is called because there are a lot of birds and rodents in the mountains, and the geographical environment is particularly special. There are no trees for birds to make nests to lay eggs. In order to ensure the safety of their eggs, the birds decided to settle in mice. In the cave, over time, the bird and the mouse are mutually beneficial and coexist in harmony, and there is a scene of “birds and mice in the same cave” that people have seen. In fact, there are many legends about the same cave with birds and mice. It is said that the bird and the mouse were changed by a loving couple. The wife is hardworking and kind, but the husband is lazy. Although the days are poor, he is respectful and respectful. The husband often admires the birds in the sky, being leisurely and free from labor. One day his wife accidentally rescued the Dragon King of the Weihe River by the river. In order to repay her, the Dragon King asked her to go to the opposite mountain when the cock cried the next day. When the appointment was made, the husband was lazy, and when his wife climbed to the top of the mountain. He just arrived at the mountainside, so the Weihe Dragon King gave his wife a pair of wings that could fly into the sky, but the husband only got a pair of sharp teeth for eating wild fruits. The wife can’t forget the husband she loved, so she went to live with her husband in the cave. This is the beautiful legend of the same cave with birds and mice. Since we talked about Niaoshu Mountain, of course we have to talk about the “Pinzi Spring” at the source of the Weihe River hidden deep in the mountain forest. As the name suggests, Pinzi Spring is composed of clear springs with three eyes in the structure of “Ping”, and each spring has very ancient legends. The “Legend Whip Spring” was named after the word “Legend Whip” was written here by the king of Tang. It is said that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, passed by here during his western expedition. When drinking water in the spring, he accidentally dropped his whip and disappeared. So he wrote down the word “Legend Whip” by the spring as a mark. “Yu Yangquan” was named because it was called a divine spring by Yu. The Temple of King Yu by the spring was built to commemorate Yu’s governance of the Wei River. When Dayu and the God of Water worked together in a decisive battle here, his soldiers drank the spring when they were tired of people and horses. They felt refreshed and morale. They defeated Gonggong in one fell swoop and won the victory in water control. “Tuyunquan” is said to be the “Dragon Pond” of the Dragon King of the Weihe River. According to legend, someone once saw the Dragon King here spit out smoke and clouds, spreading clouds and rain, and it is said that it rains whenever there is bubbling in the spring. Of course, in addition to the profound historical and cultural background, and the rich cultural landscape, the natural scenery of Niaoshu Mountain is also extremely beautiful. Here, the green hills are like Daisies, the clear waters are like practice, the forests are dense, and the ecology is excellent. If you have the opportunity to go to Gansu, you must take a look.

In addition to first-tier cities, new first-tier cities are also key areas for current population influx.

Based on the data from the seventh national census, a reporter from China Business News analyzed the total population of 15 new first-tier cities and their ten-year changes and found that 11 of the 15 new first-tier cities have a permanent resident population exceeding 10 million. The remaining four cities also exceeded 9 million; in the past ten years, Chengdu has the largest population increase, and Xi’an has the highest growth rate.

According to the “2021 City Business Charm Ranking List” recently released by China Business News and the New First-tier Cities Research Institute, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Xi’an, Suzhou, Wuhan, Nanjing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Dongguan, Foshan, Ningbo, Qingdao and Shenyang has become a new first-tier city in 2021.

11 new first-tier cities over 10 million

The data shows that among the 15 cities, 11 cities have permanent residents exceeding the 10 million mark, namely Chongqing, Chengdu, Tianjin, Xi’an, Suzhou, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Dongguan, Qingdao and Changsha. Two of these cities exceed 20 million, namely Chongqing and Chengdu in the southwest.

Chongqing, a municipality directly under the Central Government, ranks first among the new first-tier cities with 3,205,200 people, and it also ranks first among all cities in the country. The total area of ​​Chongqing reaches 82,400 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a medium-sized province. According to the Communiqué of the Seventh National Census of Chongqing issued by the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Statistics, by region, the permanent population of the main urban area is 21.122 million, accounting for 65.90%, of which the permanent population of the central urban area is 10.343 million, accounting for 32.27%. The permanent population of the main city new area is 10.7789 million, accounting for 33.63%; the permanent population of the urban group in the Three Gorges reservoir area in northeast Chongqing is 8.0646 million, accounting for 25.16%; the permanent population of the urban group in the Wuling mountainous area in southeast Chongqing is 2,867,200, accounting for 8.94%.

Apart from Chongqing, the permanent resident population of Chengdu, another major city in the southwest region, exceeded the 20 million mark, reaching 20.938 million, ranking second among the new first-tier cities and fourth among all cities, surpassing the two cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. A first-tier city.

The permanent resident population of Tianjin, a municipality directly under the Central Government, reached 13.8661 million, ranking third in the new first-tier cities. Since then, Xi’an, Suzhou, Zhengzhou, and Wuhan are all in the 12 million echelon. Among them, Zhengzhou’s performance is quite interesting, with its total population surpassing Wuhan, the “nine province thoroughfare”, and becoming the most populous city in central China.

The total population of Hangzhou is also close to 12 million, closely following Wuhan. Tang Hairu, deputy chairman of the Expert Committee of Hangzhou Planning Commission, analyzed by China Business News that the rapid population growth of Hangzhou is mainly due to the rapid development of the new economy and digital economy in recent years, which provides more development opportunities.

At the end of May, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources issued the “Hangzhou Municipal Land and Space Master Plan (2021-2035)” (draft), proposing that by 2035, the permanent population will be around 15 million, and the service and management population will be around 20 million. .

Dongguan, Qingdao and Changsha are new members of the ranks of cities with a population of tens of millions. Among them, Dongguan has become the third most populous city in Guangdong Province with a permanent population of more than 10 million after Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Peng Peng, executive chairman of the Guangdong Institutional Reform Research Association, analyzed the report of China Business News that Shenzhen is small in size and has many functions. In the past, the area around Dongguan and Shenzhen was relatively prosperous, with developed industries and a large population. Many people from Shenzhen came to live there. In recent years, under the impetus of Huawei, the Songshan Lake Industrial Park has risen, which has led to a huge increase in the population of the surrounding areas.

In addition to the 11 cities with a population of 10 million, the four cities of Foshan, Ningbo, Nanjing and Shenyang are below the 10 million mark, but they all exceed 9 million. These cities are also important reserves for my country’s cities with a population of 10 million in the future.

Among them, Nanjing has a population of 9,314,700. It is currently the only city with a permanent population of less than 10 million among the top ten cities in my country’s economic aggregate. In the future, Nanjing still needs to continue to expand and strengthen the central city platform and enhance the provincial capital. The primacy of the city.

Chengdu has the largest increase and Xi’an has the fastest growth

Judging from the changes in the past ten years, 13 of the 15 cities have increased their permanent population by more than 1 million people, and 10 of them have increased by more than 2 million people. The top three cities in terms of increase are all national centers. city.

Chengdu ranked first in terms of increase. Compared with the sixth national census in 2010, the permanent resident population of Chengdu increased by 5.8189 million. Among all cities in the country, this increase is second only to the first-tier cities Shenzhen and Guangzhou, ranking third. In the past ten years, the population of Sichuan Province has further gathered in Chengdu, the first city, and the proportion of Chengdu’s population in Sichuan Province has increased from 18.8% in 2010 to 25.02%.

An analysis by the Chengdu Bureau of Statistics pointed out that since the first national census in 1953, the total permanent population of Chengdu has continued to rise, and the average annual growth rate in the past ten years has ranked first among all censuses. The continuous improvement of Chengdu’s population attractiveness and agglomeration is in line with the improvement of the city’s energy level, fully demonstrating the city’s strong attractiveness, and in recent years, Chengdu has continued to promote the overall transformation of urban function positioning, business logic, and governance methods, and accelerate Optimizing the urban spatial structure, continuously improving the environment for entrepreneurship and employment, and accelerating the construction of high-quality livable places are closely related.

After Chengdu, Xi’an, another western city, increased its population by 4,485,100 in ten years, ranking second among new first-tier cities and fourth among all cities in the country. In terms of growth rate, Xi’an’s population has increased by 52.97% over the past ten years, leading the way among the 15 new first-tier cities and is the only city with an increase of more than 50%.

Zhang Baotong, president of the Shaanxi Urban Economic and Cultural Research Association, analyzed to a reporter from China Business News that in recent years, Xixian New District has been under the management of Xi’an, and Xi’an has been very active in attracting investment. After many big projects have come, talents have also gathered. At the same time, Xi’an vigorously opened up the threshold for settlement and attracted quite a few talents. In addition, as the leading city in the Northwest, Xi’an has no central city in its surrounding area that can rival Xi’an. Xi’an has a strong agglomeration capacity for surrounding areas.

According to Zhang Baotong’s analysis, Xi’an’s higher education strength is very strong, ranking among the top in the country, and national defense technology is leading the country. However, due to the lagging development of the private economy, many of Xi’an’s scientific research results have been transformed in Guangdong and the Yangtze River Delta. Therefore, Xi’an must accelerate the development of private technology in order to better undertake and integrate.

The permanent resident population of Zhengzhou, another national central city, increased by 3.97 million from 2010, ranking third among 15 new first-tier cities, with a ten-year growth of 46.07%, and ranking second among 15 cities.

Henan, where Zhengzhou is located, is the province with the largest registered population in my country, with a registered population of over 100 million and a permanent population of 99.36 million. As the provincial capital, Zhengzhou has a large economic hinterland. After 2008, the Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone has achieved rapid development through the creation of airport economic industries. The rapid development of the industry has attracted the population to gather in Zhengzhou.

The permanent population of Changsha has grown by 42.64% in ten years, ranking third among the 15 cities. The proportion of the total population in Hunan Province has increased from 10.72% to 15.12%, an increase of 4.4%.

Researcher Tong Zhongxian, director of the Urban Development Research Center of Hunan Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that the rapid population growth of Changsha is related to the rapid development of equipment manufacturing, cultural and entertainment industries in Changsha in recent years. Industrial development has provided a large number of employment opportunities and attracted population inflows from surrounding areas.

Take the equipment manufacturing industry as an example. In recent years, equipment manufacturing companies such as Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion, and Sunward Intelligent have emerged in Changsha. In the cultural industry, Changsha has also produced Internet celebrity brands such as Cha Yan Yue Se.

In addition, in the past ten years, the increase in permanent residents in the three cities of Hangzhou, Chongqing and Changsha has exceeded the 3 million mark; the increase in Wuhan, Foshan, Suzhou and Dongguan has exceeded 2 million.

With the popularity of the e-commerce industry, Alibaba has become one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in my country, and Alibaba’s founder Jack Ma has also become a pioneer in the sense of my country’s e-commerce platforms. In order to promote the purchasing power of Chinese consumers, Alipay’s Huabei has also become one of the lending financial platforms that everyone is very familiar with.

Huabei opens the ban rules

As early as when Ant Financial went public, Alibaba specially developed a personal credit rating system on Sesame Credit. Different from the traditional personal credit investigation of the central bank, in addition to personal credit physique, Zhima Credit also considers Alipay users from multiple fields in many aspects, and then gives a Zhima Credit score. Generally speaking, the higher the Sesame Credit Score, the higher the Huabei quota granted to consumers.

Huabei can become a national-level loan platform because Alipay has now spread Huabei payments to hundreds of millions of merchants across the country, and every consumer can directly make payments to merchants through Huabei. For example, if a consumer wants to buy a pack of sugar, but there is no money temporarily in the phone, the meaning of Huabei is revealed in this case.

In addition, Huabei can also be paid in various fields, such as accommodation, transportation tickets, scenic spot tickets, and payment of household water and electricity bills. Huabei can be used to make emergency payments. Therefore, a comprehensive business system has been formed between Alipay and Huabei, making consumers more and more dependent on Alipay.

You can make payments with just a mobile phone, or even just by scanning your face. Even if you don’t have money, you can use Huabei to advance in advance. Such a convenient business structure is naturally loved by social groups. According to relevant data, my country has now more than 1 billion people registered for Alipay, and 40% of the post-90s groups have set Huabei as the first choice for Alipay payment. In addition to Huabei, Alipay also has financial modules in various fields such as insurance, funds, lending, and online banking. It can operate a full range of financial systems through the Alipay APP.

Although Huabei has become the preferred payment method for many citizens, it also has certain requirements on the consumer system. After all, Huabei is a financial lending product, so naturally organized things are indispensable. At present, the age of opening Tonghuabei is usually over 18 years old, and users who have a certain level of consumption ability can do so. As the use of Huabei has become more and more widespread, Huabei has also opened up violations and banning rules in recent days, which means that Huabei will still be banned? As long as the following two usage methods are violated, Huabei will reduce the user’s quota according to the degree of violation, and in serious cases, it may be permanently suspended.

Huabei two ban rules

1. Cash out with flowers. Generally speaking, situations such as overdue or malicious arrears are very bad, and there is no need to say more here. However, everyone must pay attention to the cash-out problem when using Huabei. According to the relevant rules issued by Alipay recently, Huabei will strictly review the user groups who use Huabei to cash out in the later stage. Once the cash-out situation of Huabei is found, Users will be punished according to the degree and frequency of cash-out. In the case of slight deductions, the use of certain conditions may be restricted, and the use of Huabei may even be suspended in severe cases.

Because Alipay’s financial service platform also has borrowing in addition to Huabei, there is an essential difference between the two. If Alipay users need to spend money in a hurry, the editor here still recommends that you choose to use borrowing as a compliant and legal borrowing channel. The current borrowing interest rate is relatively low among the online lending in the market. You can give priority to borrowing.

2. Alipay illegal operation and illegal operation. When you use Alipay, you must pay attention to the safety of the operation. Generally speaking, Alipay will have a set of special security system audits. Once the account is found to have a risk factor, it will temporarily block the financial-related business in Alipay, so as to prevent criminals from maliciously stealing the quota and funds in Alipay. , Causing economic risks to consumers.

In addition to security risks, if the online loan borrowing more than 300,000 yuan outside of the Alipay platform, Alipay will also be regarded as a user with potential overdue risks. Such people often turn Alipay to shut down the use of Huabei, or restrict the use of Huabei. After all, credit reporting is a whole. As long as there is a problem with credit reporting, all platforms will have doubts about borrowers.

Conclusion

With the development of the country’s financial system, more and more young people have begun to rely on Qihuabei and other online loan platforms for advanced consumption. Although this has promoted my country’s consumption level, it has also allowed many young people to embark on a trend. No return. While the state is strictly dealing with illegal finances, consumers should also have a clear understanding of consumption, and must not blindly consume items that are not in line with their current assets.

The zoo is a happy place to remind people. It is the favorite of children and the memories of adults who have grown up with children. In everyone’s memory of childhood, there is about a picture standing in front of the zoo. Suzhou Safari Park is not far from Suzhou Botanical Garden, and is also located to the south of Suzhou Avenue. Unlike ordinary zoos, the animals here are basically wild, and most of them are huge and rare to see every day. A zoo without giant pandas is not a qualified zoo. You don’t need to go to Sichuan specially. In Suzhou, you can see giant pandas by driving for more than an hour. As long as you have enough patience, you can not only see them walking slowly, but you can also see them flexibly climbing trees and chewing. Eat bamboo. There is no doubt that this is a flexible fat man, don’t underestimate them, these two giant pandas have returned from Japan. As a safari park, one basic requirement is big. Covering an area of ​​1,300 acres, it has raised more than 200 species of rare wild animals from all over the world. It is the wild zoo with the largest area and the largest number of animals in Huaihai Economic Zone. In the elephant area, tourists and elephants are only separated by a railing distance, so close that they are within reach. Watching it stretch out its nose to eat carrots, you will surely get the children’s exclamation. The environment of the zoo is excellent, surrounded by lush green trees and flowers. In this environment, the animals also live very leisurely. The zebra has black and white stripes, shiny and shiny, and it must have been well groomed by the staff in the park. The hometown of giraffes is in the African savannah, and it is very pleasant to see them here. Their long necks are covered with various shades of yellow-brown and white interwoven mesh patterns, and they walk slowly and gracefully on the grass. Their docile and beautiful appearance is very attractive. Most herbivores are docile and more interactive with tourists. As a kid who feeds an animal madman, I have a lot to gain here. Not only can I feed regular animals, but I can also get close to large animals like elephants, giraffes and antelopes. I am excited to think about it. Whether it is an animal that can be called or cannot be called, there are detailed signs in the zoo. Those boring text introductions are connected with the vivid animals in front of them. It is really a biology lesson for the children in happiness. Passing through the beast area, because it is relatively open, the animals are wandering in the area like walking on the street, so tourists have to sit in cage cars instead. The two black bears are fighting intently, and they seem to be able to feel their heavy breathing at such a close distance. Under the sun, people and animals share the sun; the docile camel and the children get to know each other friendly; across the railing, the herbivores share the food in the hands of the children, not to mention the vibrant atmosphere of spring and people’s cheerful laughter. When I come to the zoo, I always have a good mood. The cute alpaca is one of the most popular animals in the zoo. More and more cities have their own safari parks. In Suzhou Safari Park, people don’t have to go to closed and airless venues. They are more in the sun and on the grass, watching elephants walking and orangutans climbing. Panda sleeps… In this zoo full of natural breath, there are many interesting stories happening every day. (You are welcome to like and leave a message in the comment area.

At the time of HNA Group’s bankruptcy and reorganization, its biggest weight-loss action-the sale of its Ingram Micro International to a US investment institution-is causing market controversy.

HNA Technology (600751.SH) acquired Ingram Micro for approximately US$6 billion a few years ago, but at the end of last year decided to sell this company with annual revenue of US$49 billion. According to HNA Technology’s plan, Ingram Micro’s sale and delivery will be completed at the end of June this year. However, this plan is now full of variables.

A few days ago, HNA Technology suddenly decided to postpone the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders originally scheduled to be held on June 14 to June 24. Whether Ingram Micro’s sale plan can be passed by a vote at the general meeting of shareholders is the key to determining the success of the transaction.

Morgan Stanley Finance noted that opposition has been brewing before the convening of this shareholder meeting. The resolution of the board of directors disclosed by HNA Technology on May 31 showed that the relevant proposal to sell Ingram Micro International was voted against by a director when the board of directors passed a vote. This director is Zhu Yingfeng, the representative of HNA Technology’s second largest shareholder Guohua Life Insurance. .

Guohua Life Insurance is also a joint investor in HNA Technology’s acquisition of Ingram Micro International, holding more than 30% of Ingram Micro’s equity. Zhu Yingfeng believes that Ingram Micro has “continued and stable growth in profits in recent years, which is a rare and valuable high-quality asset” and listed companies should “further seek buyers with high-quality quotations and better safeguard the interests of listed companies.”

The implication is that Guohua Life Insurance feels that Ingram Micro is now being “sold at a low price.” The sale of Ingram Micro International is valued at 5.891 billion yuan, slightly lower than the purchase price that year, but Ingram Micro’s net profit in 2020 has more than tripled compared to a few years ago.

Small and medium investors of HNA Technology also continue to express their opposition in online communities such as “Stock Bar”. In addition to their dissatisfaction with the price of Ingram Micro, they also have concerns about the future of HNA Technology. Ingram Micro is the entire source of HNA Technology’s revenue. After the sale, the listed company will become a “shelf company”. Although major shareholders promised to inject new assets within this year, they experienced the injection of poor quality Yanjing Hotel The miscarriage turmoil, combined with the current situation of HNA Group, is not unreasonable for the concerns of small and medium investors.

HNA currently holds nearly 30% of HNA Technology, while Guohua Life holds 14.33%. Other shareholders hold very scattered shares. This also means that if the two parties engage in a game at the level of the general meeting of shareholders, whether small and medium investors “group together” will be the biggest variable affecting Ingram Micro’s sales transaction.

Ambition

Ten years ago, the HNA Group, which had just exceeded 100 billion in annual revenue, took advantage of the global economic downturn and frantically bought overseas assets. One of the goals was to reach 600 billion in revenue in 2016, and another goal. It will be in the top 100 of the world’s top 500 in 2020.

By 2016, HNA Group has successfully entered the world’s top 500, but the revenue scale is about 200 billion yuan, which is still far from the ambitious goal. In December of that year, HNA Group under Wang Jian’s presidency acquired Ingram Micro International, the world’s largest IT distribution and supply chain service provider, through its listed company HNA Technology (then Tianhai Investment) for US$5.982 billion (approximately 41.3 billion yuan).

The predecessor of HNA Technology was Tianjin Shipping, a listed company engaged in shipping. In 2008, the HNA Department became the master, and in 2015 it was renamed Tianhai Investment. The shipping business of Tianhai Investment has been sluggish for a long time and is small in scale. After completing a fixed increase of 12 billion yuan at the end of 2014, it was almost a “cash company”. The funds were originally planned to acquire shipping assets such as oil tankers and LNG ships, but the shipping industry was in a downturn. , Tianhai Investment turned to seek “industrial upgrading” and acquired Ingram Micro International in 2016.

Ingram Micro has a global supply chain and channel network, and has strategic synergies with the logistics supply chain and HNA cargo that HNA was trying to develop at that time. Ingram Micro’s annual revenue reached more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. This transaction helped HNA Group’s revenue hit 600 billion yuan. The following year’s Fortune 500 ranking also soared to 170.

After Ingram Micro was acquired by HNA Technology, it accounted for more than half of HNA Group’s revenue for a long time. If the main aviation business of HNA Group is airframes, Bohai Leasing, with the largest assets, and HNA Technology, with the largest revenue, are the two “flanks” that support HNA’s take-off.

HNA also demonstrated brilliant financial skills in the acquisition of Ingram Micro. Among the 12 billion yuan fixed increase at the end of 2014, HNA Logistics (later renamed HNA Technology Group) invested 3.6 billion yuan, leveraging the 8.4 billion yuan of external funds from four institutions-Guohua Life Insurance participated in this fixed amount of 2.5 billion yuan. Increased and became the second largest shareholder of a listed company. The 8.4 billion yuan invested by the external fixed increase agency was originally planned to be used to buy oil tankers and ships, and later became the main fund for the acquisition of Ingram Micro.

The investment structure of HNA Technology’s acquisition of Ingram Micro International shows that HNA Technology used its own funds of 8.7 billion yuan (that is, the remaining funds in 2014), Guohua Life Insurance invested 4 billion yuan, and the rest were bank loans (7-year period). The scale is US$4.27 billion. This means that the HNA Department used almost all other people’s money in this blockbuster acquisition of nearly 6 billion U.S. dollars.

The calculation of HNA Technology’s acquisition was to use Ingram Micro’s profits to cover interest expenses. At that time, it was estimated that the annual interest expenses would be between US$128 million and US$171 million. In fact, Ingram Micro’s business performance has been stable since then, and profits and dividends have increased year by year. A total of US$880 million has been distributed from 2017 to 2020. In the same period, the actual interest expenses of M&A loans paid by HNA Technology totaled US$770 million.

However, HNA Group soon fell into a liquidity crisis, and there were problems in repaying the principal of the syndicated loan. At the end of 2017, it was overdue when the first maturity loan principal of USD 400 million was repaid, and the payment was completed several months later. As of the end of last year, HNA Technology’s outstanding M&A loan principal amounted to US$3.68 billion, and in March 2018, another US$500 million in convertible notes was issued for “borrowing the new to repay the old”, bringing the total outstanding liability principal to US$4.18 billion. . Among them, the principal amount of the syndicated loan of USD 1.35 billion was extended to May 5 this year, and the renewal is still proceeding after the outstanding payment.

In this case, HNA Technology can only choose to sell Ingram Micro to relieve debt pressure.

Ingram Micro

After the outbreak of the liquidity crisis of HNA Group, the overseas assets it had acquired in the past have been sold off one after another. In December last year, under the pressure of HNA Group’s difficulties to resolve risks and HNA Technology’s own difficulties in repaying the syndicated loan, HNA Technology launched a plan to sell Ingram Micro International at a valuation of US$5.826 billion. The purchaser was Platinum Capital, a US private equity investment institution. (Platinum Equity).

On May 31 this year, HNA Technology officially disclosed the “Major Asset Sale Draft”, adjusting Ingram Micro’s valuation to US$5.891 billion. The draft revealed that assuming July 2 as the delivery date, the purchaser’s cash payment consideration is estimated to be approximately US$1.588 billion.

In the transaction plan for the sale of Ingram Micro International, HNA Technology also designed a lock-box mechanism and an additional payment consideration mechanism. The cash payment consideration on the delivery day was further calculated on the basis of US$5.9 billion for value adjustments before delivery. Mechanism, if Ingram Micro’s adjusted EBITDA for the 2021-2023 fiscal year is between US$1.215 billion and US$135 million, HNA Technology can obtain up to US$325 million in additional payment consideration.

But in fact, HNA Technology’s confidence in obtaining additional consideration is not enough. HNA Technology initially predicts Ingram Micro’s adjusted EBITDA for 2021-2023 to be US$1.204 billion, US$1.211 billion, and US$1.225 billion. According to the predicted performance, HNA Technology can only get very little additional consideration.

On the surface, the sale price of HNA is not much different from the purchase price. However, if the five-year interest cost is taken into account, the actual loss between HNA’s purchase and sale is huge, which is even more unacceptable for the co-investor Guohua Life Insurance.

Regardless of the cost of capital, only the estimated cash recovered of US$1.588 billion (equivalent to 10.36 billion yuan) after the sale is calculated, the Shanghai Biaoji partnership consisting of HNA Technology and Guohua Life Insurance will lose more than 2 billion yuan in principal. Shanghai Standard Base Partnership holds 100% equity of Tianhai Logistics and then holds Ingram Micro International, while Guohua Life Insurance holds 31.496% of the LP share of Shanghai Standard Base.

In addition, when Guohua Life Insurance acquired HNA Technology in 2014, the fixed price increase was 5.98 yuan per share. It was hoped that through the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, the performance and stock price of listed companies would increase, but now HNA Technology’s latest share price is 3.43 yuan per share. Shares, Guohua Life’s 2.5 billion investment principal has also lost 42.7%.

Under this circumstance, the selling price of Ingram Micro became the focus of questions from Guohua Life Insurance and small and medium investors.

Controversy over “cheap sale”

Has Ingram Micro been “selled” at all?

As the world’s largest IT distributor, Ingram Micro has 189 logistics centers and maintenance service centers around the world, with an annual shipment volume of more than 1.5 billion pieces and operations in more than 160 countries. Ingram Micro’s IT distribution business covers most of the IT product market segments, and provides downstream customers with inventory management and supply chain financial services. In addition, it is also involved in mobile devices and life cycle services, e-commerce supply chain solutions, and cloud services. . In 2018, Ingram Micro and Microsoft jointly launched the cloud business platform CloudBlue, which provides cloud operation services to more than 150 largest service providers in the world, and has become the world’s largest cloud business platform.

HNA Technology mentioned in the reason for sale that “in recent years, the global IT distribution industry has intensified competition and increased concentration. With the changes in the global shipment pattern of IT products and the 2020 epidemic, the industry has shown certain volatility.” HNA Technology did not It is mentioned that Ingram Micro’s profitability has improved significantly after entering cloud services in recent years.

As early as the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, HNA Technology had already foreseen the boost to Ingram Micro’s profitability by the cloud service business, and pointed out at the shareholders meeting in May 2017 that the leading IT supply chain company in the industry, For example, Ingram Micro, Arrow Electronics, Avnet, Synergy, etc., have entered the cloud service market through acquisitions and other means, “which can improve profitability and avoid financial pressure caused by business expansion.”

In terms of performance, Ingram Micro’s revenue scale and profitability have been stable in recent years, and its operating status has remained stable. From 2017 to 2020, Ingram Micro’s revenue was 46.675 billion, 50.437 billion, 47.197 billion and 49.12 billion US dollars, and net profit was 199 million US dollars, 352 million US dollars, 505 million US dollars, and 644 million US dollars.

It can be seen that benefiting from the outstanding performance of the cloud service business, Ingram Micro’s profit level has increased rapidly in the past two years, especially when cloud services are more widely used after the epidemic, Ingram Micro has demonstrated high-quality assets. Background color.

It should be pointed out that Ingram Micro is the entire source of HNA Technology’s revenue, but the profit performance of the two is not consistent. In 2020, Ingram Micro’s net profit hit a record high, but HNA Technology suffered a huge loss of 9.788 billion yuan. The main reason was that listed companies provided joint guarantees for HNA Group and other related parties, which resulted in a provision of 5.02 billion yuan in losses and the provision of Ingram Micro’s goodwill. The impairment affects the profit of 6.029 billion yuan.

In the first quarter of this year, boosted by the positive performance of Ingram Micro International, HNA Technology achieved a net profit of 620 million yuan, setting the best performance in recent years.

Ingram Micro’s performance continues to improve, and has improved significantly from the time of the acquisition. Why did HNA Technology sell it at a valuation loss of US$5.891 billion?

The reason given by HNA Technology is that when a listed company acquired Ingram Micro International in 2016, the transaction price was not based on the evaluation results, but was negotiated and determined after comprehensive consideration of various factors. In addition, the valuation of Ingram Micro International is reasonable. After comparing Arrow Electronics and similar companies in the same industry, according to the EV/EBITDA valuation method, the average valuation multiple of comparable companies is 6.6 times and the median value is 6.2 times. , Ingram Micro is 6.3 times.

However, opposition voices also pointed out that In Micro International and its peers Arrow Electronics (ARRW) and Synergy (SNX), the net profits of the three companies last year were US$644 million, US$584 million, and 529 million (as of 2020/11). /30), the revenue scale and profit level of the latter two are lower than Ingram Micro’s, with P/E ratios of 12 times and 14 times respectively, but Ingram Micro’s P/E ratio for sales valuation is only 9 times. If valued at a price-to-earnings ratio of 13 times, Ingram Micro is worth about 8.4 billion U.S. dollars. The current market value of Arrow and Synergy is 8.9 billion and 6.7 billion U.S. dollars, respectively.

Outsiders believe that HNA sells Ingram Micro at the current price, mainly eager to resolve debt pressure and financial risks, and promote the bankruptcy and reorganization of HNA Group, but it is unfair to the co-investors and small and medium shareholders of HNA Technology. After the board of directors voted against the transaction plan, Guohua Life Insurance appealed to HNA to continue to contact buyers with higher bids based on market principles.

It is worth mentioning that Platinum Capital, the acquirer of Ingram Micro, disclosed that the total consideration of the transaction was US$7.2 billion, which is not consistent with the transaction value disclosed by HNA Technology. Platinum Capital also disclosed that it will provide US$4.05 billion in funding for the acquisition. At the same time, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and other syndicates pledged to provide US$3.5 billion in loans to pay for the transaction consideration, and also pledged to provide US$3.5 billion in circulation. loan.

Endgame

Many small and medium shareholders are opposed to this sale because they are worried that HNA Technology will become a shell company in the future or be injected with low-quality assets.

HNA Group initially had a great strategic vision for HNA Technology, but after the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, the subsequent layout has been weak. In 2018, HNA Technology put out a plan of 7.5 billion yuan to acquire Dangdang. However, it will inevitably fail in the end.

As of the end of 2020, HNA Technology’s total assets are 121.6 billion yuan, and Ingram Micro’s total assets are 112.1 billion yuan, accounting for 92.17% of the total assets of listed companies. Ingram Micro’s 2020 revenue will account for 100% of HNA Technology’s revenue.

HNA Technology pointed out in the sale plan that after the IT supply chain business is placed, the listed company will relieve debt pressure and financial burden, concentrate resources on strategic and business transformation, and enhance the company’s ability to continue operating.

Just before the sale of Ingram Micro International, on December 4, 2020, HNA Technology decided to increase its assets such as 91.6% equity in Tianhai Shipping and 90% equity in Zhuhai Beiyang Shipping, plus 2 billion yuan in capital increase, and through the Haichuang Baichuan Fund with HNA Group 100% of the shares held by Yanjing Hotel will be replaced.

The net assets of Yanjing Hotel are -870 million yuan, with an estimated value of 2.13 billion yuan and an appreciation of up to 3 billion yuan. In addition, there are three cases of Yanjing Hotel using its own houses and land use rights to provide HNA Aviation Group and related party HNA Tourism Group with a total amount of 2 billion yuan. Beiyin Financial Leasing has seized the corresponding assets in 2019 , So it’s not a “clean” asset.

After being subject to regulatory inquiries and external doubts, on May 19, 2021, HNA Technology announced that it would cancel the proposal to submit the asset replacement proposal to the first extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for consideration.

HNA Technology promises to continue to inject new assets. In the major asset sale draft disclosed by HNA Technology on May 31, HNA Technology and the directors, supervisors and senior executives of listed companies except Zhu Yingfeng promised that the listed company will complete the asset placement by December 31, 2021. HNA Technology Group, Grand China Logistics, and HNA Group promised to assist listed companies in completing asset placement.

However, given the current situation of the HNA system, whether there is still the ability to inject high-quality and clean assets into HNA Technology is a big question mark. On January 30, 2021, HNA Group was filed for bankruptcy and reorganization; on March 15, HNA Technology’s controlling shareholder HNA Technology Group, NPC Xinhua Logistics and related shareholder Shanghai Shangrong Supply Chain were ruled by the court for reorganization. A total of 29.45% of the shares of listed companies are held.

After the bankruptcy and reorganization of HNA Group, it is introducing strategic investors for its three core businesses (aviation, airport and commercial retail), corresponding to HNA Holdings (ST HNA 600221.SH) and HNA Foundation (ST Basis 600515.SH). And supply and marketing big set (*ST big set 000564.SZ) three listed companies. This is also the highest quality asset of HNA Group.

It is worth mentioning that when HNA Technology acquired Ingram Micro in 2016, the shipping industry was in a downturn. However, due to the impact of the epidemic on global inventories last year, the shipping industry is re-entering the business cycle. However, the shipping business of HNA Technology is currently very weak. Only in the first half of 2021, it purchased two 176,000-ton Cape-type bulk carriers (145.5 million yuan each), with a total capacity of only more than 300,000 tons.

After the sale of Ingram Micro, how to revive the main business of HNA Technology will obviously be another big problem.

Recently, MAC cosmetics released a new photo of Lisa and if you didn’t read the introduction, everyone would think that this is an old picture, bring it back from time to time. Because since being a brand ambassador for this brand until now, Lisa rarely changes in the pictures. Lisa always has a slightly parted lip expression, eyes looking down or looking straight at the camera, a cold and luxurious face. The way to pose does not have many breakthroughs, always holding the product close to the face. Lisa’s hairstyle is also not invested much, leaving the bangs to cover the forehead and parting the bangs to the sides. Style The makeup is all in a sharp, impressive style. Even the background of the series was damaged netizen unattractive. It’s rare to have a set of photos of Lisa getting a new hairstyle and not needing to carry the product. But Lisa’s cold half-lidded expression remained the same. Meanwhile, the series of images of Jisoo advertising Dior cosmetics are much more diverse. BLACKPINK’s eldest sister sometimes smiles brightly, sometimes she’s wearing lipstick, sometimes she’s elegant and sometimes gentle. The cosmetic company that Jennie is a brand ambassador is not as famous as MAC, but the variety is much better. Jennie has many creative advertising images, no need to hold a lipstick netizen I still know this is an introduction.

On May 17, the 2021 Sohu Technology 5G&AI Summit was grandly held in Beijing. As a guest, Chen Zhiping, Vice President of ZTE Corporation, participated in the roundtable forum with the theme of “New Infrastructure, New Intelligent Manufacturing”. After that, she accepted an exclusive interview with Sohu Technology, and gave detailed answers to the development process of C-end consumer-level applications after 5G commercialization two years later.

Since the first year of 5G commercial use in 2019, 5G has gradually moved from abstract technology to concrete application level, but from the consumer side, users’ perception of 5G is still not strong in two years.

Chen Zhiping pointed out that this is mainly due to the fact that on the one hand, the network itself has not been built to the coverage and coverage of the 4G era. On the other hand, if we are committed to developing applications that allow users to perceive differentiation, in addition to network optimization, Differentiated terminals are also needed.

In addition, although industry applications have entered a golden period this year, Chen Zhiping believes that there are still huge challenges, which are mainly reflected in the process of integrating industry scenarios with 5G and ICT technologies.

“From the perspective of enterprises, or from the perspective of the 5G empowerment manufacturing industry, I think machine vision has the most star potential among the current industry applications.” Chen Zhiping said that the application of machine vision at the industry level is already relatively mature. degree. Taking ZTE Corporation as an example, in the Binjiang manufacturing base, machine vision was successfully applied to the quality inspection of the production line, resulting in a 97% improvement in product quality.

The following is a concise compilation of the interview record:

Sohu Technology: 5G has been in commercial use for two years, but the perception of it at the C-end user level is still relatively weak. What caused it? What do you think of the two-year history of commercial development?

Chen Zhiping: China’s 5G development is very fast. According to recent data, there are currently more than 1.1 million 5G base stations in the world, and China has almost 800,000. China’s 5G applications should be said to be in the forefront of the world. Now everyone feels that 5G applications are not so sensible, and everyone’s perception of applications is not so high. In fact, on the one hand, the network itself has not yet reached the coverage and coverage of the network construction in the 4G era, including the improvement of our performance experience, and the experience of those in the 4G era has reached a level where the experience is relatively thick. There is still a period of time to develop. The development of any technology requires a long period of time to accumulate. This is one reason.

There is another reason. In terms of 5G applications, we are still looking forward to the emergence of some differentiated applications that will allow users to perceive the emergence of differentiated applications. This aspect belongs to the network and needs to be further optimized. On the other hand, there are some brighter expectations. The emergence of differentiated terminals, and now there are some AR and VR, this innovation has to be accelerated before the C-side applications can be perceived.

B-side applications may face greater challenges. This application also involves the in-depth opening of the industry to the industry itself, to the scene, and then effective integration with 5G. Only in this way can 5G be truly empowered in the industry and help business owners improve efficiency. , Cost reduction, and quality improvement, truly rest assured, worry-free and happy for business owners.

Sohu Technology: What exactly do you mean by the challenges faced by the B-side application?

Chen Zhiping: The application of the B-side, it belongs to the golden period of development layout. Taking ZTE as an example, we first effectively combine 5G applications with production and manufacturing scenarios in our own production and manufacturing links. For example, algorithms like machine vision plus 5G plus AI can improve the quality of our manufacturing links, including the improvement of personnel efficiency, the reduction of costs, and the connection of data throughout the production chain. This is One.

In addition, we have also achieved the combination of 5G and our industrial manufacturing robots, and used some flexible technologies to make production and manufacturing more intelligent.

In the 2B industry, the biggest challenge lies in the integration of industry scenarios and 5G technology with our ICT technology. There are technical challenges to solve and accumulate. There is also a talent for experts. The collision of cross-professional concepts and knowledge, as well as our teamwork approach to overcome these difficulties, reach a consensus, and establish a working mode of mutual cooperation and mutual trust. This is also one of the challenges that we have to solve.

There is also more that companies need to build such a long-term development confidence, determination and patience.

Sohu Technology: What are the current “star applications” in the 5G field? Which is the easiest to scale in the short term?

Chen Zhiping: From the perspective of enterprises, or from the perspective of the 5G empowerment manufacturing industry, I think machine vision has the most star potential in the current industry applications. Machine vision has been successfully applied to the quality inspection of production lines in ZTE’s intelligent manufacturing base and the Binjiang manufacturing base, resulting in a 97% improvement in product quality. Moreover, there is another application in our machine vision. We not only use it ourselves, but also as an abstract industrial application component. It has been successfully applied to the chemical fiber industry, metallurgical industry, including ports, including steel, and power grids. Including transportation, in fact, in various industries, the combination of machine vision and 5G, and the combination of AI algorithms, its application fields are relatively wide, and relatively speaking, its maturity is relatively high. Moreover, it can quickly make enterprises feel the value of reducing costs, improving quality and increasing efficiency.

Sohu Technology: It is said that 2019 is the first year of 5G. How do you define the development stage of 5G this year?

Chen Zhiping: This year should be the opening year and golden year of the 5G empowerment industry layout.

Sohu Technology: In the past 7 years, ZTE has invested more than 10 billion yuan in research and development every year, and its 5G standard essential patents rank among the top three in the world. What is ZTE’s plan for 5G next?

Chen Zhiping: In the 5G area, we have always emphasized the down-rooted approach to build continuous investment in the field of basic technology research and build one of our technological competitiveness. On the one hand, we hope to understand the 5G technology thoroughly, and then use its application technology, connection technology, and algorithm, intelligent calculation and storage, to extend the extension, we call the pan-5G technology wider and deeper.

In addition, we also emphasize that in terms of 5G applications, starting from ourselves, opening up the scene of industrial manufacturing, in our own 5G manufacturing base, to combine these 5G applications with our production links, using 5G to manufacture 5G, and to use 5G technology. These solutions for industrial manufacturing and our industrial components, solidify, abstract, and reproducibly apply to other industries. This is our own practice.

On the 5G application side, we are also working with our industry partners to explore and practice, and promote everyone to build an ecosystem of 5G applications. We are also willing to open up our atomic capabilities to companies in the industry and partners in the industry to promote the digital transformation of the entire industrial manufacturing and thousands of industries outside of the industry. This is why ZTE calls itself the position of a digital economy road builder in the digital age. We are willing to be the helper and promoter behind enterprise applications and digital transformation, and help everyone build an industrial ecosystem together.

Change due to the corona crisis How the pandemic is changing the way we work

Status: 13.06.2021 3:42 p.m.

Fewer new infections, many vaccinated people and the imminent end of the obligation to work from home: in many companies, the return to the office is foreseeable. How much of the pandemic’s day-to-day work will be retained? From Peter Sonnenberg, SWR How should one put it when a terrible event like a pandemic also brings welcome and sustainable changes with it? Covid-19 brought sickness and death, unemployment and poverty, limitations and loneliness. However, the pandemic also led to progress in the world of work that was not thought possible, which without the virus would not have been conceivable or would only have been possible much later. “Before the pandemic, I sat in the car for three hours on the days I had to go to the office,” says Paula Widmer. That is bad for them and the environment. The 28-year-old is Internal Communication Manager at Schott in Mainz, but she lives in Heidelberg, a hundred kilometers away. Even before Corona, she sometimes worked at home. So she didn’t have to set up an office there first. She could just stay at home and do the many international switching conferences with the foreign locations from there. For her, working from home is a gift, and she hopes that her employer will continue to give employees this opportunity. However, she would like to see her colleagues a little more often and would like a mix of home and in-office.

Corona as an accelerator

That is exactly what the future will be, assures work researcher Jutta Rump. “Corona was the burning glass, the fire accelerator for the development towards virtual work and communication,” she says. Many business trips were unnecessary in the past. You can now see who can work from home without sacrificing productivity. And most people would like the empty sky, empty streets and trains anyway. Corona has interrupted the usual processes for many people – and also called them into question. “When things go well, changes are difficult, that’s why digitization went so slowly, our workplaces hardly changed – and we have had ten years of partying in which no one wanted to change anything,” says the professor for international personnel management and organizational development. It was only the “external pandemic factor” that showed what was different and what was better, explains Rump. But the researcher also predicts a partial return to old habits. “We won’t go from one extreme to the other, no more business trips, just online conferences, but maybe only half as much of everything. People want the positive out of both, a healthy amount of everything.”

04/28/2021

No need to work in new ways

But not all of them can or want to be part of this new world of work. “I also missed setting up a nice study,” says Daniel Brixius. “But I don’t have far to go to the office, and I have two small children at home. I’m better at flow at work.” The marketing manager was mostly with the company even during the pandemic. A hygiene situation has been created there for colleagues who prefer to work in the company, which makes this possible. His colleagues in production couldn’t stay at home either, for nothing has changed for them. He is happy if the workplace situation remains flexible in the future, but more so for his colleagues. He himself feels more comfortable in the office, especially when a few more colleagues come again. And they don’t even have to all have their fixed desks.

05/26/2021

Companies have to offer flexible forms of work

Work researcher Rump calls these hybrid models. Anyone who wants to remain fit for the future as a company must offer flexible forms of work and also communicate virtually. Work-life balance is becoming more and more important to employees. If you have nothing to offer, you have to give an applicant a good reason. That is why the sectors with a shortage of young talent and skilled workers are driving the transformation that has begun. “But the whole business world will change faster with Corona than it would have done without it,” says Rump. “Retailers are becoming online retailers, virtual business processes run much faster than analog processes, and e-commerce and artificial intelligence also intervene in logistics and production.”

Expect new elbow mentality

But not everything is great, she points out. The “we-feeling” in the teams suffers when colleagues hardly meet, and the solidarity that was felt for one another during the pandemic will give way to a new elbow mentality. Because before that the coffers were full, the markets were distributed. Now both the state pots are empty and the reserves of many companies have been used up. But now, it is said, is the time to invest in order to stay “up to date”. “I fear a stronger global distribution struggle for a smaller cake and therefore less consensus,” said the professor.

05/19/2021

“Team spirit is more likely to arise when working in the office”

Nina Moyer does not fear that for the special glass manufacturer Schott. She is responsible for the company’s global talent management and now feels, on the alleged home stretch of the pandemic, internal joy and gratitude of the employees towards the company, which is getting through the crisis well. “But I am also convinced that we shouldn’t keep everything we’ve done in the past 18 months. In my opinion, the right spirit and team spirit is more likely to come about when working together in the office.” But you have learned a lot across all departments, says the HR manager. “Today we can make meetings much more compact and effective and realize that you don’t have to fly around the globe for every meeting, a lot goes online. After the pandemic experience, we appreciate the encounter, the togetherness in the office, much more – it used to be Of course. Never before have so many colleagues asked whether the summer party will take place again this year. ”

FAQ 01/12/2021

Mix as the best model

The labor scientist Rump also says that the mix will be the best model. As practical as home office is for many, it is even physically restrictive. You look at a monitor all day and hardly move. “Most people work more effectively at home, hardly take breaks, forget which day of the week is because every day appears the same. Who can handle it?” And with it, it also answers the question of whether employees work well in the home office or just mow the lawn. “Anyone who does not work properly in the home office has shit their employer in the office beforehand and slipped away where he could.” It is important that the new world of work is created together with the employees. Surveys have shown that there is a great desire to be able to choose – between the more conventional or the new way of working.

Nanguo Temple, located in Nanshan Pass, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, is named after being located outside the southern city of Tianshui in ancient times. It has a history of more than 1600 years. The entire temple occupies an area of ​​5.7 hectares, surrounded by verdant trees, fragrant birds and flowers, and beautiful scenery. Although it is only 3 kilometers away from the urban area, there is no trace of it in the urban area. It has the artistic conception of “the ancient temple in the deep mountains”. Unlike most monasteries in China, Nanguo Temple was built from the south to the north, and is divided into three courtyards, the west courtyard, the middle courtyard, and the east courtyard from west to east by three gates. The Temple of Heaven, Bell and Drum Tower, Zen Forest Academy, Du Shaoling Temple, and other buildings are magnificent and solemn. As early as the Tang Dynasty, they have become a famous Buddhist holy site in the northwest region and a place for literati and inkmen to visit. Since ancient times, there has been “the first famous temple in Longyou “The reputation. This ancient temple was built during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it carries the long history and profound culture of Tianshui. In the second year of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty (759 AD), the poet Du Fu resigned and traveled west with his family members due to the rebellion of Anshi, and lived here for more than three months. , And left behind “Nanguo Temple at the top of the mountain, the water is called the North Flowing Spring. The old tree is empty and the canal is passed on.” and more than one hundred popular poems, which even arouses people’s interest in and yearning for it. Although Tianshui belongs to Gansu Province, it is completely different from Dunhuang in the Gobi Desert in the west. It has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. It is known as the “Longshang Jiangnan”. Nanguo Temple is also towering with ancient cypresses, fresh and quiet, and has been listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Qinzhou since ancient times, and is known as “Nanshan ancient cypress”. Among them, a “Chunqiu cypress” in front of the Daxiong Hall is divided into three branches, shaped like an axe, and a hackberry tree is parasitic in the trunk, which surprises all viewers. According to textual research, Du Fu’s poem “Nanguo Temple on the mountain top, the water name is the north stream spring. The old tree is empty in the courtyard, and the canal is passed down.” The “old tree” described in the poem refers to this ancient cypress. According to expert inspection, this “Chunqiu cypress” tree is 2300-2500 years old, second only to the ancient cypress of the Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi and the Zhou cypress of Jinci in Shanxi. Because such a wonderful tree is the only one in the country, it has become the only one in the country. The “Treasure of the Town and Temple” of Nanguo Temple. Tianshui is a city with a lot of springs and hot springs. Among them, Beiliuquan, located in front of the Guanyin Hall of the East Courtyard of Nanguo Temple, originally flowed down from Nanshan to the north, hence the name “Beiliuquan”. Later, monks in the monastery built wells and kept springs, and they were named “Qiuchi”, also known as “Nanshan Lingqiu”. For thousands of years, Beiliuquan has been famous for the poem “Nanguo Temple on the top of the mountain, the name of the water is Beiliuquan” written by Du Fu, and is known as the “Crown of Famous Springs on Longshang”. In the thirtieth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1904), the people of Qinzhou, with their deep feelings for the poet saint, changed the Nanguo Temple East Buddhist Temple to Du Shaoling Temple, and produced the statues of Du Fu and his two sons Zongwen and Zongwu for generations to come. Remember me forever. What is interesting is that the establishment of the poet’s ancestral hall in the Buddhist temple can be called a great wonder of Qinzhou culture, which shows the position of the poet Du Fu in the hearts of Tianshui people. Throughout the ages, Nanguo Temple has attracted many tourists to experience the profound cultural heritage of the thousand-year-old temple. If you have the opportunity, you might as well come here for a walk. Transportation: In Tianshui City, take bus No. 9 and get off at Nanguo Road and walk up the mountain; or take the special line bus of Nanguo Temple Grand Scenic Area, which sets up Nanguo Temple Gate, Xiyuan, Wangjiaping, Songcuiyuan, Nanguo Temple, 10 sites including Nanguo Temple Ruins Museum, Dujiaping, Moon Bay Plaza, Liguan Bay, Nanshan Cloud, etc. The fare is 5 yuan.

Tianshui Fuxi Temple, formerly known as Taihao Palace, commonly known as Renzong Temple, is located at No. 110 Fuxi Road, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City. It covers an area of ​​13,000 square meters. It is currently the largest and most well-preserved commemoration of the ancient “Three Emperors” in my country. The Ming dynasty building complex of the Yifuxi clan is also the only temple that enshrines Fuxi statues, and is known as the “first temple in China”. According to records, during the Yuan Dynasty, the “Three Emperors” Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan were highly respected, and Yuan Chengzong Tiemur also ordered all states and counties across the country to build “Three Emperors” temples for worship. The “Three Emperors” Temple in Tianshui was founded in the seventh year of Yuan Zhizheng (1347). In the Ming Dynasty, the “Three Emperors” Temple collapsed. In the 19th year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1483 AD), the locality was on the basis of the original “Three Emperors” temple. Above, the Fuxi Temple was rebuilt. The 64 ancient trees in the courtyard were planted in the Ming Dynasty, symbolizing the number of sixty-four hexagrams, and there are only more than 30 trees left. The local people believe that these ancient trees with strong vitality symbolize health and longevity. Every day, a large number of tourists come to worship and pray for safety. Some patients even cut a paper man and stick it on the tree, light it with incense powder, hoping to get rid of themselves Sickness in related parts. Since Fuxi is the first emperor in ancient history, Fuxi Temple adopts the palace-style building model. The entire building complex is built along the central axis from the north to the south. The archways, gates, yimen, Xiantian hall, Taiji hall and other halls are in order. Arranged and advanced layer by layer, it has a distinctive Chinese traditional architectural art style. The doors and windows of the various halls of Fuxi Temple are carved with auspicious animal patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, cranes, and elk, which have strong local characteristics. In particular, the pair of dragon and phoenix threshold windows in the Taiji Hall are composed of multiple Chinese pine boards spliced ​​into a square. The dragon and the dancing phoenix are carved with open carving techniques. They are the masterpieces of the Tianshui carving technique in the Ming Dynasty wood carving, which is very rare in China. Fuxi is the earliest documented creation god in China. According to ancient records, he invented and created divination and gossip, tied ropes into nets, used to catch birds and hunting, and taught people how to fish and hunt. He was regarded as a Chinese national humanity. First, one of the three emperors. However, although there are many Fuxi temples in China, the Tianshui Fuxi Temple is the only temple in the country where Fuxi statues are enshrined. In the Xiantian Temple, this Ming Dynasty Fuxi clay sculpture painted colossus is 3 meters tall, burly and energetic. The architectural structure of the Xiantian Temple is also worth mentioning. The entire hall is 7 rooms wide, 26.4 meters wide, and 14 meters deep. The beams and columns in the temple are few but thick. The roof truss structure is rigorous. The roof is stretched with troweled beams, making the space more open. , Is considered to be a successful example of China’s early use of the “reduced column method” to build large houses. For hundreds of years, Tianshui area has repeatedly experienced earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above, and this Xiantian Temple has always been safe and sound. According to legend, in ancient times, Fuxi led the tribe to thrive in the Yellow River area. At that time, there was a huge “dragon horse” on the Yellow River that made waves and harmed the people. After seven days and seven nights, Fuxi surrendered it and was inspired by the spots on the back of the dragon horse. He created river pictures and gossip, ended chaos and ignorance, and opened Chinese civilization, and the spirit of dragon horse is also regarded as the incarnation of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

“The sky is the sky, the wild, the wind blows the grass and the cows and sheep are low.” The galloping horses, the raging bonfire, the lovely yurts, the fragrant roast leg of lamb…For such a scene on the grassland that everyone knows, just think about it. , Seems to make people feel open-minded. Hulunbuir Prairie, with a total area of ​​11.2667 million hectares, is currently the best-preserved grassland in my country and one of the four major grasslands in the world. It is known as “Jade of the North Country”, “Green Pure Land”, and “The Best Grassland in the World”. There are lush vegetation, vertical and horizontal rivers, beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. You can enjoy the sunset of the long river under the melodious matouqin sound, or you can enjoy the galloping horses in the shining sun. Moreover, the Hulunbuir Prairie is the birthplace of Genghis Khan and the birthplace of many ancient civilizations and nomads. Therefore, it contains too many stories and civilizations, which are worthy of our consideration, exploration and aftertaste. In addition to the endless prairie, Hulunbuir also has beautiful and spectacular wetland landscapes. The Erguna Wetland, located on the northwest side of the Greater Khingan Mountains, is “the best wetland for tourism with Chinese characteristics” and also “the most popular and most beautiful forest tourist attraction in China”, and is known as the “first wetland in Asia”. The mudflats with blue waters, the four seasons are graceful, and the geese and red-crowned cranes that are often heard in songs. It is the most intact and large wetland in my country, and it is the favorite secluded place for countless photographers. The meandering Mozhgler River has nine curved ileums, clear blue water, beautiful water plants on both sides, and unlimited scenery. Mr. Lao She has been hailed as “the first curved water in the country”. In addition, there are the reverie and ribbon-like 186-ribbon river, the Hulun and Beier sister lakes, which means “a lake like the sea”, and so on. Manzhouli, managed by the city of Hulunbuir, is the largest land port city in my country and has the reputation of “Window of East Asia”. Although it is located in the hinterland of the grassland, it has gathered more than 40 ethnic groups including Han, Mongolian, Hui, Manchu, Daur, Oroqen, and geographically belongs to the border between Mongolia and Russia. Therefore, Manzhouli is rich in the three countries of China, Russia and Mongolia. Diverse cultures and exotic customs can be seen everywhere. The castle-like spire building, the giant dolls of a dozen stories high, the Russian girls all over the street, and the dazzling array of foreign goods… people accidentally forget that they are still in the country. In addition, there are heavily guarded border posts, the largest entity country that is awe-inspiring and proud, as well as the ice and snow festival that is not inferior to Harbin and the bright night view of the bustling city.

Prices rise by five percent Highest US inflation since 2008

Status: 10.06.2021 5:44 p.m.

In the USA, consumer prices have risen as sharply as they did almost 13 years ago – which is felt above all by car buyers. The European Central Bank also expects higher inflation in the euro countries. Is it just a short-term phenomenon or is inflation now making its big comeback? In the USA there is a growing fear of ever higher prices. Some are already pulling Parallels to the 1970s when President Jimmy Carter failed to get a grip on high inflation and job misery. Although the USA is still a long way from the double-digit inflation rates of that time, the price jumps are getting bigger from month to month. After inflation had risen above four percent in April, it has now climbed to 5.0 percent in May. That is the highest rate since August 2008. Experts had only expected an increase in the cost of living of 4.7 percent. “The dreaded five has become a reality,” said market observer Thomas Altmann from investment management company QC Partners.

Federal Reserve under pressure

The strong growth impressively proves that the price surge in April was not a slip-up, said LBBW analyst Dirk Chlench. “The US Federal Reserve is coming under increasing pressure to reconsider its view that the recent price hikes are only of a temporary nature.” As in April, the prices for used cars turned out to be the biggest inflation driver. They rose again strongly – and, according to the US Department of Labor, accounted for around a third of the monthly price increase.

Core inflation at its highest level since 1992

Particularly alarming is core inflation, which excludes volatile components such as energy and food. It climbed 3.8 percent in May. The last time there was such a sharp increase was in 1992. In April, the core inflation rate was 3.0 percent. The end of the corona lockdowns and the trillion dollar cash injections by the US government have been driving inflation in the US for months. Prominent economists like Larry Summers, Olivier Blanchard and Mohamed El-Erian warn against underestimating the danger. According to Blanchard, the high government spending under US President Joe Biden could overheat the economy.

Just a passing trend?

Most economists are still looking at the trend with serenity, however. In their opinion, the development is mainly based on temporary factors. The US service sector is back in normal mode in many places. Prices for air travel and hotel accommodation are picking up again and are well above the previous year’s level, says chief economist Thomas Gitzel from VP Bank. “So there are so-called base effects at work once more.” At the same time, the shortage of semiconductors is now at least indirectly affecting consumer prices. If there are no new cars due to a lack of semiconductors, customers switched to used cars. These would have become significantly more expensive. Gitzel predicts that the price level will slowly drop from a high level in the summer months. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) claims that inflation will only pick up temporarily. Because compared to the previous year, the economic downturn in the Corona year 2020 resulted in high rates of price increase. That is why the central bank has not yet seen itself under pressure.

Little movement on Wall Street

Wall Street barely reacted to the renewed surge in inflation. The Dow Jones rose by 0.6 percent, the S&P 500 even jumped to a record high. The US dollar gained against the euro. So investors do not anticipate a tightening of monetary policy in the US for the time being. In the eurozone, too, the money locks are still strongly open. The European Central Bank (ECB) is sticking to its trillion-dollar anti-corona crisis program (PEPP) and plans to expand bond purchases in the next quarter compared to the first three months of the year. In doing so, the central bank wants to avoid tightening the financing conditions for companies, states and private households.

ECB raises inflation forecast

The rising inflation hardly worries the euro watchdogs . The higher euro will dampen inflation, said ECB President Christine Lagarde. Nonetheless, the ECB raised its inflation forecast. According to the central bank, inflation should be 1.9 percent in 2021. In March, the ECB was still assuming an increase of 1.5 percent. For 2022, the monetary authorities expect an annual price increase of 1.5 percent and for the following year unchanged at 1.4 percent. According to the ECB, inflation that is too high can lead to a price spiral. Higher prices mean consumers get less goods for their money. So they demand higher wages in order to be able to maintain their standard of living. In turn, in order to pay the higher wages, companies continue to raise the prices of their products. On the other hand, permanently low prices are seen as a risk for the economy: companies and consumers could then postpone investments – in the hope that it will soon become even cheaper. In the medium term, the ECB is aiming for an annual inflation rate of just under two percent. In Germany, the inflation rate is already above this level. In May the Consumer prices compared to the same month last year by 2.5 percent , the highest value since September 2011.

Located in the center of Tianshui city, the ancient residence of the Hu family (commonly known as the Nanbei Zhaizi) is composed of Nanzhai and Beizhai, which are across the street. It was the Ming Dynasty’s deputy envoy of the Ministry of Justice of Shanxi Hu Laijin and his son Zhengqing Hu of the Taichang Temple Shaoqing Department Among Xin’s private residences, Nanzhaizi (Hu Laijin’s Mansion) was built in the 36th year of Wanli Ming Dynasty (1608), and Beizhaizi (Hu Xin’s private residence) was built in the 43rd year of Wanli (1615). As the only existing Ming Dynasty official mansion in the Northwest, the Hu family’s ancient residential buildings are basically constructed in the form of a traditional Chinese courtyard house. The houses are connected on all sides and the corridors are connected. They have the solemn and rigorous style of the northern houses and the lightness and agility of the southern ones. Without losing its boldness, it was rated as “the only and rare Ming Dynasty ancient residential complex in Gansu Province by experts and scholars”. In addition to the architectural layout and structural form, the roof ridge decorations and brick and wood carvings of the two ancient houses have high historical, artistic and scientific value. It is worth mentioning that the ancient houses have not undergone major renovations since they were built, and they still maintain the original appearance of 400 years ago, which is extremely rare in China. According to expert analysis, it is precisely because of the dry climate in the northwest that these ancient brick-and-wood houses have been well preserved. Hu Laijin and Hu Xin were famous ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and they were known as “father and son in their hometown”. In the 19th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1558), Hu Laijin was elected as the county magistrate. During his tenure, he was honest and upright, not afraid of power, and had a good reputation. Hu Laijin’s son, Hu Xin, was very clever since he was a child. He was a Jinshi. He served as the magistrate of Linfen, the Ministry of Industry, and the Secretary of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. A folk song that has been circulating in Tianshui until now: “The Hu family came out to accompany the emperor,” Hu Xin said. Because of the high prestige of the Hu family in the local area, the Hu family’s ancient houses have never been destroyed for more than 400 years, and they have been inhabited by the Hu family for generations. The traces of life and residence in the house vividly reproduce the life of large families in the northwest region at that time. The appearance is known as “the first residential building on Longshang”. In 1998, the Gansu Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics evaluated Tianshui ancient dwellings: “It is a rare historical and cultural heritage preserved so far, and an important part of Tianshui’s historical and cultural city.” In 2007, when the cultural relics department repaired the southern house of Hu’s residence, a very hidden “treasure hole” was discovered in the ground floor of the foyer. The “treasure cave” is made of blue bricks, 2.5 meters high and 114 meters long, and reaches the second underground level. It is connected to the North House on the opposite side of the road. There are also a number of shelters on both sides of the tunnel. The room of the object. In the Ming dynasty buildings 400 years ago, there was such a large-scale underground tunnel, which is rare not only in the western region but even in the whole country. It can be called a miracle of ancient architecture. It is worth mentioning that in this “treasure cave”, there are also hundreds of boxes of gold and a hundred jars of fine wine, which can be called a veritable underground vault. As for the origin of these gold and silver treasures, it is still an unsolved mystery. Nowadays, Hu’s folk house has been turned into a museum of Tianshui folklore and ancient folk house architectural culture. You can visit it for free. If you have the opportunity, you might as well come here for a walk. Transportation: In the city, take Bus No. 1 to the Department Store Station, or take Bus No. 5 to Qinzhou Bus Station, and Bus No. 6 to Central Square North Station and get off on foot. You can also walk from Fuxi Temple.

G7 agreement Who will benefit from the global minimum tax?

As of: 06/09/2021 8:49 a.m.

The G7 agreement on a minimum tax is celebrated as an epoch-making one. But there are still many hurdles waiting for it to come into effect. There are reservations, especially in countries that make a living from their reputation as tax havens. By Klaus-Rainer Jackisch, MR Luxury yachts lie in the port of Nassau, sun-hungry people loll on the beaches and people know how to celebrate at the colorful Junkanoo, the national carnival: The Bahamas comprises 700 islands on the edge of the Caribbean. For many, they are a little paradise – also in tax matters. Since the island nation became independent in 1973, the country has lived on luxury, tourism and customs duties – and on its reputation as a tax haven. There is no income or corporation tax here, and tax evasion is not a criminal offense. That could soon be over. The Bahamas are also one of the 139 countries that have committed themselves to the so-called BEPS project under the umbrella of the OECD. BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) wants to combat tax evasion and prevent the relocation of profits by multinational corporations abroad. The project is, so to speak, the backbone for the global minimum tax, the implementation of which received a strong boost last weekend: There the finance ministers of the seven leading western industrial countries agreed (G7) for the introduction of such a tax. It should be at least 15 percent worldwide and thus prevent tax dumping in many countries. At the same time, companies should in future not only be taxable where they are based – but everywhere they sell their goods or services.

G20 summit as the next hurdle

The agreement is intended to end the practice that companies like Amazon, Facebook or Google are making billions in profits worldwide, but are looking for and finding so many loopholes when paying taxes that in the end only peanuts remain for the tax authorities. Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz spoke of a “tax revolution” after the ministerial round in London. The British department head Rishi Sunak called the agreement “historic”, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen underlined it as an “unprecedented step”. When, after the finance ministers, the heads of state and government of the G7 countries meet at the end of the week in St. Ives in Cornwall, England, the decision should only be a matter of form. But the plan is far from being dry. In July, the finance ministers of the 20 most important industrialized and emerging countries (G20) meet in Venice, where they are supposed to approve the agreement. That should be much more difficult. While Europeans (Germans, French, British and Italians), Americans, Canadians and Japanese have similar interests in the G7 body, preferences in the G20, which includes China, Brazil and Russia, are less homogeneous. It is unclear whether they will come to an agreement in the end. Finally, all 139 BEPS states under the OECD umbrella would have to agree to the proposal.

Ireland fears revenue shortfalls

In order for the supposedly epoch-making work to really come into force, many interests have to be brought under one roof. Especially in smaller countries, the project is not only a source of joy: In Ireland, for example, where companies only pay 12.5 percent tax, which is why Apple and Google particularly like to romp around here, there are fears of large revenue losses. The minimum rate of 15 percent could theoretically flush more money into the coffers. But it is questionable whether the tech giants will continue to settle on the green island. Ireland’s finance minister, Paschal Donohoe, does not count on it and expects annual losses of up to 2.4 billion euros for his country: “Ireland could lose up to a fifth of its total corporate tax income,” he said in Dublin. There are worried looks in Switzerland too. Around 100 large companies have their headquarters here, because some cantons only charge around ten percent corporate tax after all discounts have been deducted. It is particularly cheap for companies in the cantons of Appenzell and Zug. In the capital, Bern, the opinion is that small countries in particular, which do not have the advantages of a large domestic market, can also score points in international competition with other advantages: low taxes are right at the top of the list, like a good infrastructure and a High standard of living. Before the G20 meeting, Switzerland wants to fight for every percentage point.

“German tax authorities do not gain much”

While small states in particular are already anticipating the worst, the US should be the big winner. Not only because most large companies are based here. But also because the complicated project plays into the hands of the big countries. Because even after a minimum taxation of 15 percent, no country is obliged to apply this rate. Ireland could stay at 12.5 percent. However, the mother country of the company can then collect an additional 15 percent difference. In the case of the numerous US companies, this additional levy then flows into the states. “Regardless of where a company is based and where it has subsidiaries, it always pays at least this minimum tax rate,” says the financial scientist Dominika Langenmayr from the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. But that also means that more taxes are paid “above all in the USA, not in Germany,” said the economist. Clemens Fuest, President of the Ifo Institute, also sees it this way: “The German tax authorities will not gain much from the minimum taxation,” he told the “Augsburger Allgemeine”. His institute calculated that Germany would lose around 5.7 billion euros annually by shifting profits. But the minimum tax project should only allow “less than two billion a year” to flow into Germany, according to Fuest.

It depends on the details

Such an agreement also has other consequences for the export nation Germany: The car manufacturers, for example, sell a growing proportion of their products in China and the USA, but currently pay their taxes mainly in Germany. “If taxation rights are shifted to the sales countries in the future, Germany could lose tax revenues,” said Fuest. In the end, it depends on how the reform is designed. The last word has not yet been spoken and many a compromise is likely to come out. It is therefore questionable whether the EU will actually earn 50 billion euros more annually as a result of the reform, as Brussels loudly proclaims. This also explains why the multilateral corporations that the set of rules is supposed to meet are currently rather relaxed. The G7 agreement is “a welcome step” that will help stabilize the international tax system, a spokesman for the online shipping giant Amazon told the US news portal “Businessinsider”.

Will Amazon be spared?

The Amazon case in particular raises the question of whether the reform will actually be as effective as it has been described. The small print of the agreement also states that the reform should only affect the very large companies that have a profit margin of at least ten percent. However, Amazon only gives its overall margin of three percent and should get away with a final agreement on this rate largely unscathed – unless you tax the more lucrative business areas separately. However, this raises questions of tax justice and could trigger even more bureaucracy. It is also criticized that the minimum tax rate of 15 percent is much too low anyway. The British development organization Oxfam fears that this would lower the overall tax level worldwide rather than increase it. In any case, it is “absurd” that the G7 wanted to reform the tax system by “setting up a worldwide minimum tax that is similar to the low tax rates in tax havens such as Ireland, Switzerland or Singapore,” says Managing Director Gabriela Bucher. Meanwhile, the potential losers will do everything possible not to lose their advantage entirely. Until the rules come into force, many a yacht will moor in Bermuda’s capital Nassau. Because there are no high taxes in the island paradise (yet).

The G7 summit in Cornwall The heads of state and government of the seven leading industrialized countries (G7) will meet from June 11th to 13th in Cornwall, southwest England. For the first time in two years, they will meet again in person in the afternoon. In addition to climate change, the conference will also focus on trade issues and investments as well as the fight against the corona pandemic. In addition, the meeting will focus on the positioning towards Russia and China.
The G7 group includes the USA, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, France, Italy and Japan. Like-minded democratic states such as South Korea, South Africa, Australia and India are invited to the summit as guests.

Committee of Inquiry Wirecard and the “Mastercard” from Commerzbank

As of: 06/09/2021 3:01 a.m.

The parliamentary groups’ final reports on the Wirecard committee of inquiry are almost ready. Nevertheless, the panel heard witnesses well into the night. It was about early information from Commerzbank. By Arne Meyer-Fünffinger and Josef Streule, BR When the Munich Chief Public Prosecutor Hildegard Bäumler-Hösl entered the “Europa Hall” in the Paul-Löbe-Haus, the Wirecard investigative committee had already spent almost nine hours of intensive witness questioning behind it. At this point in time, the committee had already questioned the head of the FIU anti-money laundering unit, Christof Schulte, and the State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Finance, Rolf Bösinger – with unsurprising results. Both vigorously defended the work of the authority in connection with the Wirecard scandal. “We have no indications that the FIU would not have fulfilled its legal mandate,” emphasized Bösinger. The FIU has been standing for reporting from BR research for days again more and more criticized. In February 2019, Commerzbank submitted a detailed suspicious transaction report to the FIU – including a list of almost 350 suspicious transfers and a short report to make the FIU’s work easier. A reference to the allegations made against former Wirecard managers was not recognizable, explained Schulte and Bösinger. The FIU therefore only forwarded this suspicious activity report to the responsible criminal investigation authorities in Bavaria in July 2020, after seven foreign partner authorities had been sent “spontaneous information” in July 2019. Schulte emphasized that there has been no response from them to this day. And apart from that: “The Commerzbank report was by our standards not a particularly good report,” said the FIU boss.

Prosecutor: Commerzbank report was the “Mastercard”

The Munich public prosecutor’s witness, Chief Public Prosecutor Bäumler-Hösl, arranged the Commerzbank report completely differently when she was interrogated: “The major money laundering report from Commerzbank is the Mastercard. This is the most valuable and most extensive money laundering report. It is elementary. ” “That’s a statement,” said the committee chairman Kay Gottschalk (AfD) spontaneously. The lawyer also contradicted Bösinger and Schulte on a central point: Both had emphasized that Commerzbank’s suspicious transaction report had no reference to the German legal area. That is why the FIU did not forward this to the local authorities any faster. “What alarmed me about the report is the presentation of the facts by Commerzbank,” she said. This refers to the brief report that the bank added to the list of nearly 350 suspicious payments. In this and in the transfers listed by the Frankfurt money house, a relationship with Germany was clearly recognizable, Bäumler-Hösl made clear. With the fact that the report did not contain any reference to Germany, the FIU justified the fact that it had only informed the local authorities of this information more than a year and a half later. “All the reasons given by the Federal Ministry of Finance as to why the FIU did not initially have to pass on the suspicious transaction report have literally collapsed,” commented Florian Toncar (FDP) on the statement by the chief public prosecutor.

Wirecard suspicious activity report on a silver platter

Matthias Hauer (CDU / CSU) had already disagreed with the presentation of the FIU representative before the chief public prosecutor’s statement: “In my opinion, the silver platter is not enough, it must be made of gold.” Other experts had also classified the suspicious activity report from Commerzbank in the run-up to today’s testimony as a “silver platter” on which the bank had served the FIU with its information. The third witness in the Wirecard investigative committee, Rolf Bösinger, State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Finance, countered the accusation that he had withheld information from parliament at an earlier point in time: “These accusations are untenable. I have neither withheld information nor do I have it There is nothing to hide or to conceal. We have informed the German Bundestag and the MPs comprehensively, “he said.

Accusation of “concealment”

These statements did not make an impression on every committee member. For Lisa Paus (Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen) they were “not credible”, Hans Michelbach (CDU / CSU) spoke of “veiling” by the ministry even after Bösinger had been questioned for several hours. BR research had previously reported on internal mail correspondence of the FIU, according to which Bösinger is said to have influenced a dossier of the FIU accordingly. This was drawn up by the authority on the occasion of a special meeting of the finance committee on August 31, 2020. The dossier was an internal preparatory document, stressed Bösinger in front of the members of the committee of inquiry. They will now focus on completing their final reports after months of work. Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble will probably receive a thick pile of papers at the end of this month.

Maiji Mountain is a solitary peak in Xiaolong Mountain in the Yumai of Qinling Mountains. It is named after the mountain shape resembles wheat stacks. Although the scenic spot is located in Gansu Province, it is completely different from the Gobi Desert in the west. It has green mountains and green waters, a pleasant climate and rich biological species. Diverse, with famous landscapes such as “The Fairy Gives Lights”, “Shimen Night Moon”, and “Pure Land Songtao”, especially “Maiji Misty Rain” is listed as the first of the eight scenic spots in Qinzhou. According to records, the Maijishan Grottoes were built in the post-Qin period of the Sixteen Kingdoms (384-417 AD) and were excavated by more than ten dynasties of the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties Rebuilt, there are 221 existing cave niches, 10632 clay sculptures and stone sculptures, and 979.54 square meters of murals. It is one of the four largest grottoes in China and the first choice for tourists to visit Tianshui. Different from the other three major grottoes, the Maijishan Grottoes are excavated on the cliffs that are almost 90 degrees, and the caves are all connected by volleys erected on the cliffs. From the local folk proverbs: “After cutting Nanshan firewood, build Maiji Cliff”, “First there are ten thousand meters of firewood, then Maiji Cliff”, one can imagine the arduous and grandiose construction of the grottoes back then. Because the Maiji Mountain where the grottoes are located is a typical Danxia landform, the rock structure is relatively loose and difficult to carve carefully, so the ancient craftsmen chose clay sculptures to make sculptures according to local conditions. These 1500-year-old clay sculptures and stone sculptures boldly break through the strict rules and iron laws of religion, with delicate and vivid expressions, lifelike, and are known as “the exhibition hall of oriental sculpture art.” The Sanhualou, which has a history of 1400 years ago, is the largest palace-style grotto in the country. The plaque above the lintel is taken from Buddhist scriptures, which means: “Whether it is right or wrong, get Whether it’s lost or lost, it’s nothing more than that.” The whole building is meticulously crafted and the Buddha statues are lifelike. It is one of the most artistically valuable masterpieces of Maiji Mountain. It is worth mentioning that there are 7 flying murals on the top of the Sanhualou Cave, which are world-renowned for using the rare “thin meat sculpture” technique. According to reports, these seven “Joyful Flying Clouds” were created at the turn of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. The face and body of the statues are made of a thin layer of fine mud sculptures with a maximum thickness of about 5 mm. The clothing and flowing clouds are painted. The picture is very exquisite, giving people a feeling of “ready to come out”. Ancient Chinese craftsmen skillfully combined sculpture and painting to give their works a three-dimensional effect. This artistic technique did not become popular in the Western art world until the 20th century after 1500. However, because the “thin meat plastic” is exposed outdoors and exposed to wind and sun for a long time, the oxidation is very serious, so friends who want to see must act as soon as possible. The Maijishan Grottoes, as the most complete cave in the country that preserves the clay sculptures of the Northern Dynasties, is a masterpiece of the sinicization of Buddhist statues. In 1961, the Maiji Mountain Grottoes were announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In 2014, they were designated as World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Transportation: In Tianshui City, take bus No. 5 and 34 to the terminal station Maijishan Parking Lot Station.

After a hacker attack Investigators come to extorted pipeline millions

Status: 08.06.2021 02:12 a.m.

It has been a month since the largest gasoline pipeline in the United States was hacked. The operator paid millions to the extortionists. Now the investigators report a success. After the hacker attack on the largest gasoline pipeline in the United States, investigators recovered most of a ransom payment in the digital currency Bitcoin. The US Department of Justice announced that 63.7 Bitcoin, currently valued at around 2.3 million US dollars, had been seized. The FBI was able to identify a digital wallet that hackers allegedly used to collect a payment from the company concerned, said the agency’s deputy director Paul Abbate.

Hacker from Russia suspected behind the act

The company Colonial Pipeline announced in early May that it had been the victim of a hacker attack. As a result, the pipeline, through which about 45 percent of all fuel consumed on the US east coast runs, was temporarily completely shut down. There were petrol shortages in parts of the country. The capital Washington was particularly hard hit, where at times 88 percent of the gas stations ran out of fuel. “It was an attack on one of our most important national infrastructures,” said Lisa Monaco from the US Department of Justice. The US government suspects hackers from the DarkSide group from Russia behind the crime. Both US authorities and IT security experts strongly advise companies against paying ransom so as not to incentivize cyber criminals to blackmail them. But the pipeline operator paid, as company boss Joseph Blount admitted in the “Wall Street Journal” at the end of May. He authorized a payment of $ 4.4 million. Blount explained the controversial decision by saying that the company was unsure about the extent of the system damage caused. According to the US Department of Justice, Colonial Pipeline had quickly notified the FBI that DarkSide had broken into the computer network and the company had paid the requested ransom of 75 Bitcoin.

Colonial boss praises investigators

In so-called ransomware attacks, data on computers is encrypted – and the attackers usually demand a ransom for the release. Cases in which companies paid were also known before. But it is extremely rare to get the money back. Colonial chief Blount praised the work of the FBI investigators in a statement. He also said the private sector needs to take cyber threats seriously and invest to better defend against them. “Ransomware attacks have increased in scope and sophistication over the past year, targeting our critical infrastructure, businesses of all kinds, entire cities and even law enforcement agencies,” said Monaco from the Justice Department. “Ransomware and digital extortion pose a threat to national and economic security in the United States.” Just a few weeks after the attack on the gasoline pipeline, the world’s largest meat company JBS was hit by a massive cyber attack. Large parts of the production in North America and Australia were paralyzed.

In recent years, China’s digital economy has developed rapidly. In the “14th Five-Year Plan” at the beginning of the year, it was clearly proposed to “accelerate digital development and build a digital China” to promote the in-depth integration of digital technology and the real economy. The digital economy has become a new engine for development. Schneider Electric is not only full of confidence in the Chinese market, but also optimistic about the development prospects of China’s digital economy.

Recently, Schneider Electric Digital Industry Demonstration Park was formally established in Beijing Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, including Schneider Electric (China) Software R&D Center, Electronics Industry Science and Technology Innovation Center, a new generation of environmentally friendly gas medium pressure equipment production line, and related industry supporting facilities. Construction.among them The Schneider Electric (China) Software R&D Center settled in China. Under the background of the overall development of the digital economy, it will greatly enhance Schneider Electric’s digital innovation capabilities in the Chinese market.

Schneider Electric (China) Software R&D Center settled in Beijing

Add momentum to the development of the digital economy with “software research and development capabilities”

As China’s economy accelerates toward high-quality development, the industrial structure continues to adjust and optimize, and new growth points continue to emerge. The software industry has not only become an important driving force for the development of the digital economy, but also contains a broad market. Recent data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that from January to April 2021, China’s software industry completed software business revenue of 2571.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.0%, and the potential is evident.

Schneider Electric has always been optimistic about the prospects of the software field, and has strengthened its own software research and development capabilities on the basis of hardware research and development, and has continued to invest and deploy. As early as 2013, Schneider Electric established a dedicated digital service department in China to concentrate on new technology application research and software development, and launched the industry’s first cloud-based energy management software REM, which is now the cloud energy efficiency building The predecessor of the consultant led the trend of subsequent industry software migration to the cloud.

The Schneider Electric (China) Software R&D Center is located in Beijing Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone. Together with the three R&D centers in Shanghai, Xi’an and Shenzhen, it will build an innovative R&D system integrating software and hardware, and accelerate the development of new technologies and Applications in various industries.

“From the establishment of a dedicated digital service department to lead the industry software cloud trend, to the launch of cloud-based device management software, from advocating online and offline hybrid cloud deployment methods, to leading the construction of cross-platform capabilities for industry applications, Schneider Electric has always Relying on R&D and innovation to lead the development of the industry.” said Zhang Lei, vice president of Schneider Electric, head of software R&D center, and head of digital service business China. With the support of R&D and innovation, Schneider Electric is running at high speed on the road to digitalization. In 2020, 50% of its operating income will come from digital business.

The optimization of the business structure and the successive establishment of four R&D centers in the Chinese market further demonstrate Schneider Electric’s determination to provide new momentum for the digital economy. As one of Schneider Electric’s four major global R&D bases, China will continue to export China’s innovative wisdom to the world in the future.

Innovative technology + industry insights, create value with innovation as the scene

For Schneider Electric, in addition to its EcoStruxure digital architecture and platform, AVEVA software is becoming more and more powerful and perfect, Schneider Electric is also gradually building comprehensive software capabilities in the energy management and industrial fields. With the in-depth exploration of sub-industry, it is bound to enable innovation in fields such as 5G, industrial Internet, industrial application software, energy management application software, new energy applications, etc. based on advanced technology in the industry and industry insights accumulated over the years. , And continue to introduce software products including energy management, equipment management, industrial automation and other fields. The establishment of Yizhuang China Software R&D Center this time is to provide support for better integrated scenario innovation.

Such as Schneider Electric relies on its understanding of actual application scenarios, and continues to innovate applications, and will be used in the software in a safe and reliable manner after repeated verifications. : Apply 5G technology to scenarios such as unmanned driving, unmanned tower cranes, flexible production lines, etc.; with the help of AI-enabled software products, launch “Shishi” (automatic chat robots) that can continuously accumulate knowledge bases and improve the accuracy of automatic answers; Constructing digital twins of equipment in buildings and factories can collect data in real time, model and analyze them in the cloud, and put forward targeted opinions, ultimately improving energy and resource efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing to sustainable development.

“On top of basic R&D, Schneider Electric will also increase R&D investment in scenarios and agility.” According to Xiong Yi, senior vice president of Schneider Electric and head of China’s strategy and development department, the market in the digital age is changing rapidly. Responding to customer needs faster, Schneider Electric set up an internal innovation team to open up internal links, and coordinate the R&D team with other departments more smoothly to achieve the focus on the new energy industry, data center industry, rail transit locomotive, electronics industry, OEM, etc. Quick response to industry customer needs:

For example, during the new crown epidemic, Schneider Electric provided remote operation and maintenance operations and expert consulting services for the People’s Hospital of Liyang City. In response to the needs of power supply security, active remote operation and maintenance, and energy-saving tie-in, Asset Advisor’s clairvoyance asset consultants, edge control, and interconnection products have helped the hospital reduce the risk of infection while optimizing the level of operation and maintenance during the epidemic. This is for the medical field. Digitization opens up new practices;

Zhejiang Xionglong uses ITE Fengyunhui to carry out 24-hour remote monitoring of UPS equipment on all sections of the road, which solves the challenges of highway application scenarios with multiple outlets, multiple machines, and long distances. Many equipment is located in tunnels and mountainous areas, relying on manual inspections. Digitalization The solution turns the complicated and inefficient inspection work into a part of cloud automation, completely changing the traditional inspection method, saving manpower and enhancing safety.

Persist in openness and sharing, and win the digital era with ecological partners

As a “hundred-year-old shop”, openness and sharing have been deeply embedded in Schneider Electric’s genes, and it has become its business philosophy that can lead the development of the industry for a long time. “Even if Schneider Electric invests more resources in research and development, it is impossible to do everything and cover all fields. Therefore, Schneider Electric’s more role is to empower. Everyone joins hands to make good use of these technologies. It is also the greatest value manifestation of the innovation center and R&D center.” Zhang Lei said, In the future, the China Software R&D Center will introduce more digital talents, continue to adhere to the localization strategy, and work with partners to build a digital ecosystem and share digital dividends.

For example, in the application of 5G technology, Schneider Electric has established cooperation with relevant leading companies to jointly develop digital solutions and promote the landing in various subdivisions; for example, as the speed of data transmission increases and the magnitude of the increase, information Security has often become one of the most important concerns of enterprises. Therefore, Schneider Electric and leading enterprises in the field of information security have conducted a series of research and practice. Through the openness and integration of technology and business with ecological partners, the profitability and market competitiveness of each ecological partner will eventually be strengthened.

In the era of digital economy, whether it is moving toward green smart manufacturing, green energy management, or accelerating low-carbon emission reduction with the help of digital technology, only by insisting on innovation and openness, and co-creating and sharing with ecological partners in multiple dimensions, can they coexist and coexist in competition. win. As the new software R&D center settles in the Chinese market, Schneider Electric will be committed to continuous innovation in China based on its rich technological accumulation and deep industry insights, and will launch software products in the fields of energy management, equipment management, and industrial automation. “Chinese Wisdom” was lost to the world market.

Qingyang, Gansu, is one of the birthplaces of my country’s early farming civilization. It is well-known both at home and abroad for its long history and profound traditional folk culture. According to the “Historical Records”, the ancestor of the humanities Xuanyuan Huangdi once discussed medicine with Qi Bo, the originator of Chinese medicine, and wrote the world-famous “Huangdi Nei Jing”, which is also the name of the “Hometown of Qi Huang”. When you come to Qingyang, there are two must-visit attractions, one is Zhou Zu Mausoleum and the other is Beishiku Temple. The North Cave Temple is located at the foot of Fuzhong Mountain, 25 kilometers southwest of Qingyang City. It was founded by Jingzhou Governor Xi Kang in the second year of Yongping in the Northern Wei Dynasty (509 years). The South Cave Temple in Jingchuan County, Pingliang, Gansu was also excavated at the same time. , Two temples, one south and one north, are opposite each other, hence the name “North Cave Temple”. The entire group of grottoes is excavated on a red sandstone cliff 20 meters high and 120 meters long, with mountains and water behind, and beautiful scenery. For more than a thousand years, the Beishiku Temple has undergone successive additions and repairs in the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang, Song, and Qing dynasties. There are 307 large and small cave niches, 2,126 exquisite stone statues, and more than 150 inscriptions. It is a stone sculpture in Gansu Province. The remains of a cave group with the most concentrated art, its various stone carving art can be called the masterpiece of the Northern Wei grotto art, together with the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes, they are also known as the “Four Great Grottoes in Gansu”. The first grotto of the Beishiku Temple-Cave 165, is 14.6 meters high, 21.7 meters wide from north to south, and 15.7 meters deep. It was excavated by Jingzhou Governor Xi Kangsheng himself. It is the largest, richest and most valuable cave in Beishiku Temple. Cave. On the north and south sides of the cave gate are carved stone statues of the Heavenly King with a height of 5.8 meters, as well as inscriptions and inscriptions in ink scripts from the Song, Yuan, and Ming periods. There are 23 large stone statues and more than 110 relief statues in the cave. The altar in Cave 165 enshrines seven standing Buddha statues with a height of 8 meters. The one in the middle is Buddha Shakyamuni. The six Buddha statues on the left and right sides are the Buddha, the Buddha, the Buddha, and the Buddha. Detained Sun Buddha, Kunnagamuni Buddha, and Kassapa Bo Buddha. According to textual research, they are the earliest and most magnificent statues with the theme of “Seven Buddhas” in China, and their majestic aura is not lost to the four major grottoes in China. It is worth mentioning that these seven Buddha statues have round faces, thick lips, and strong physique. They have a clear temperament of the northern ethnic minorities. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were exactly seven emperors from Tuoba to Xuanwu Emperor Yuanke. Therefore, some experts and scholars speculated that these seven Buddha statues may be carved by Xi Kangsheng in the appearance of the seven emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty to extol the emperor’s merits. , To consolidate the ruling regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The walls of Cave 165 are carved with more than 110 relief statues of Buddhist stories such as “feeding the tiger” and “cutting the meat trade pigeon”. These statues are all dressed in peculiar clothes and have good-looking faces and are of high historical, archeological and artistic appreciation value. . Among them, the most exquisite carving technique is a 3.05 meter tall elephant riding bodhisattva. She wears a jade crown on her head and is graceful, which is extremely rare in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Due to the age, most of the cave statues in Beishiku Temple have been weathered. In recent years, the local government has allocated funds to strengthen and repair them. At present, the second floor and above of the cave have been closed. Friends who want to visit must act early. Transportation: Take the shuttle bus from Qingyang to Zhenyuan County (every 2 hours) and pass through Beishiku Temple. Or take a bus from Qingyang Airport to Qingyang South Bus Station, then transfer to a taxi to go to Beishiku Temple via Dongzhi Town.

However, such a small town has been ranked as the richest town in the United States for many years, and its wealth will definitely refresh your new understanding.

Although it is more than 40 minutes away from the city center, it is only a dozen minutes away from the world’s most influential headquarters of Google, Tesla, and Facebook.

However, the people who live in suburban towns are not employees of these high-tech groups, but a large group of presidents.

More than a hundred years ago, Atherton was originally the most common agricultural town in the southern suburbs of San Francisco.

Later, with the rapid development of San Francisco, Silicon Valley gave birth to many high-tech companies that affected the world. Atherton, far away from the city center, had a quiet life and became a place where many CEOs bought real estate.

In just a few decades, Atherton’s housing prices soared like a rocket.

The most common house today is as high as 7 million U.S. dollars, and some large-scale luxury houses require more than 30 million U.S. dollars.

If it is some well-built manor, the price of more than 100 million US dollars is not surprising.

The reason why it is loved by these wealthy people is that Atherton is not far or near in distance, it can avoid the hustle and bustle of the city center, it can also provide a certain degree of privacy for the wealthy, and it can also facilitate work.

In addition, it is also a small town with investment value.

Over the past ten years, Atherton’s housing prices have risen by a minimum of about three times. If it was purchased 10 years ago, the price of a villa today is comparable to a huge windfall.

Of course, for those listed CEOs, Atherton’s real estate is just one year’s income. Living in Atherton is more of an identity in the circle.

Imagine that your neighbor is either the CEO or the chairman of a world-class company. This kind of high-level social interaction is itself a resource.

Children in public elementary schools are still descendants of high elites. In such an elite-to-elite atmosphere, the descendants educated by them will not be bad.

For example, there is an equestrian club in the town, and its membership costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

In daily life, rich people can take their families to ride horses, and horse races and other activities are held every year.

But most of the time, its existence is dedicated to the social services of the rich.

In fact, Atherton’s package is not perfect.

When we buy a house, we will consider supermarkets, commercial districts, subways, hospitals, parks, schools and other facilities. But except for a park and three public elementary schools, Atherton’s daily life is not convenient.

For example, if you have to drive to the city center for shopping, you have to drive more than ten minutes to a big town for meals.

Of course, the lives that we ordinary people consider are trivial matters to the rich, and naturally someone will handle such trivial matters.

For the residents of Atherton, being clean and undisturbed is what people want.

In Atherton during the day, people are often not visible on the sidewalk.

The manor houses and villas of every house are tightly fenced to avoid being snooped by strangers.

The exquisite and luxurious mansions are like small worlds. People do not disturb each other. This is the life circle of the rich.

There are about 7,000 residents living in Atherton.

Except for the aboriginals, all those luxury houses were purchased by the rich in Silicon Valley, so Atherton was also dubbed the CEO town by outsiders.

Here, meeting a CEO with tens of millions of dollars in assets is not unusual.

The gathering of the rich has made Atherton’s per capita income far ahead every year.

According to the latest calculations, Atherton’s family has an average annual income of more than 520,000 U.S. dollars, and an annual income of 500,000 U.S. dollars (approximately RMB 3.4 million) is still the “poor” at the bottom of the town.

And this is still an average. What is the annual income of those top families?

In the Yangtze River Delta, a tourist resort with few beautiful scenery has become popular recently. It is located in a city but far away from the hustle and bustle with its innate cultural atmosphere and unique natural environment. It integrates tourism, sightseeing, sports, and leisure. Countless modern urbanites have come to go out for a quiet walk. This is the natural Great Lake Bay, “Suzhou Bay”, located in the south of Suzhou city, across Wuzhong and Wujiang districts, above the water of Taihu Lake. Suzhou Bay in April is full of flowers, red grass and green, fresh air, and picturesque scenery, which is very suitable for outings in the countryside. On the bank of East Tai Lake, there is a large-scale ecological leisure park integrating the city and the lake, and the water and green are interdependent: the East Tai Lake Ecological Park, which has become a popular place for citizens and tourists for leisure and sightseeing. It is not only smoke, green grass, and the environment is very original, but also has various leisure and entertainment facilities. It is perfect for outdoor sports, outings, picnics, and scenic walks. The desirable green and low-carbon life can be easily realized in the East Taihu Ecological Park. This ecological park is located on the south side of the East Taihu Lake Bridge in Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is an important waterfront system of the entire Wujiang Riverfront and East Taihu Lake. It is 47 kilometers in length and encompasses the entire lake area with an area of ​​185 square kilometers. It is currently one of the few in Suzhou. A large open park on the edge of Taihu Lake. After 50 months of comprehensive planning and remediation, the area of ​​East Taihu Lake Ecological Park has been transformed into an ecological park with vast expanses of blue waves and greenery. The entire ecological park is divided into three parts: the waterfront square area, the central park area, and the ecological experience area. It is open to the public free of charge. It is an excellent place for sightseeing, leisure and entertainment in Suzhou Bay. Relying on the grand plan of Suzhou Bay, the entire East Taihu Ecological Park, surrounded by the rich natural resources of Taihu Lake, stands in a prosperous city, yet far away from the hustle and bustle. People who have been here can’t help but sigh, here is the natural beauty of clear water and hibiscus, as well as beautiful makeup The acquired finishing touch, the water and soil are beautiful, the environment is fresh and pleasant, and the scenery is full of poetry. There are four distinct seasons in Suzhou, and the four seasons of the Ecological Garden are also different. Spring can enjoy flowers and birds, summer can enjoy bird watching, autumn can enjoy colorful red leaves, winter can enjoy the ice and snow Jiangnan, the scenery is not as good as Hangzhou West Lake, although tickets are not accepted here. However, there are not many tourists. It is an ideal place to experience the extravagant life in the suburbs of the city. With the profound historical and cultural heritage of this area, it is like a modern Wangyou Park like a peach blossom field. The design of East Taihu Lake Ecological Park combines the waterscape of East Taihu Lake with distant mountains and near water. It pays attention to the leisure space for citizens and advocates the humanized design of the waterfront. Tourists can camp with their families, fly kites, or make appointments. Three or five friends walk or ride by the lake, or have fun with parents and children, and taste delicious food. Relax here and enjoy a pleasant vacation time in the suburbs. With the theme of civic space, the water square area is equipped with tourist service centers, supermarkets, children’s play areas, amusement project rental points, silk squares, green slope squares, water flower island maze and other supporting projects, suitable for tourists of all ages. Especially in April when the spring is boundless, it becomes a paradise for children outings. Everywhere on the grass you can see happy figures chasing me, cheering and laughing endlessly. The Central Park area is themed to show the artistic conception of a water village in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Meizhuang area is the most distinctive. Small bridges and small bridges flow through the entire Meizhuang complex. The white walls and black tiles shape the atmosphere of the settlements in the south of the Yangtze River. It has a modern style and the charm of Wudi. The ecological experience zone constructs the original ecological habitat environment with small islands, shoals, aquatic plants and undulating gentle hills of multi-layered forests. The viewing trails are mainly gravel paths and wooden plank roads, which provide a path close to nature. The ecological environment here is good. Egrets and wild ducks can be seen in the evening, giving tourists the original ecological tourism viewing experience. Visitors can also wander through the plant trails of the Nature School and feel the infinite charm of nature. Among them, there is one attraction that is worth checking in, and that is the “Wangong Dike”. The Wangong Dike is 1,350 meters long. It used to be a part of the Taihu Lake Dike. Now it has been transformed into a landscape belt along the lake. This dam echoes the Suzhou Bay Bridge. It was named after Wan Qing, an expert on water conservancy in the Qing Dynasty, and is a historical and cultural mark of Suzhou Bay. Strolling here, the dam is surrounded by deep and tall trees, full of green, fresh air, is a quiet and comfortable “urban green lung”, very suitable for a leisurely stroll, breathing air full of negative oxygen ions. And walking in the dense tree-lined road, just take a quick shot, it’s a photo of an internet celebrity check-in.

Photographed in Xiangshan, Ningbo, Zhejiang in May 2021. During the May Day holiday this year, the 17th Film and Television Carnival in the scenic area of ​​Xiangshan Film and Television City came as scheduled. Compared with previous years, this year’s activities are more diverse and rich in forms. Whether in the scenic area or outside the scenic area, visitors can feel a strong festive atmosphere, which is also the key to the popularity of the entire scenic area. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the scenic spot, in the Shendiao Square, one of the highlights of this year’s film and television carnival was “Inheriting the Quintessence of the Country, and Ode to the Party by Hundred Zheng”. The Guzheng performance team composed of more than 200 children and teachers put on the words “100”, the melodious sound of the zither and the shocking scene attracted a large number of tourists to stop and watch. Such a scene is really rare. After watching the Guzheng performance and entering the scenic spot, the lively parade of costume floats is waiting for everyone here. In the grand parade of floats, a few beauties in ancient costumes became the focus. All men, women and children, young and old, were deeply attracted by their beautiful makeup. Everyone could not help but take out their mobile phones to take photos. The scene was a lively scene. Following the floats all the way forward, the program is getting richer and richer, and there are more and more tourists. This is outside Xiangyang City (built by Zhang Jizhong in the filming of “The Legend of Condor Heroes”), and the scene of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv fighting against the Golden Wheel Fa King is being staged. The actors are randomly invited live audiences. Although the make-up is a bit crude and the actors’ acting skills are a bit clumsy, they can bring a lot of joy to everyone. This is enough. Come out to play for fun. Entering the lively city of Xiangyang, only then did you really feel what a sea of ​​people is. The bustling streets give people a feeling of crossing the Song Dynasty. All kinds of things from ancient times are not enough to see and not enough to shoot. Occasionally, various traditional Chinese folk acrobatics will appear on the street, and the performances are wonderful. Whether you can find a suitable viewing position depends on your personal ability. Of course, your absolute height is the same everywhere. The most lively show in the entire Xiangyang city is the number of the richest man Wang Wanjia recruiting his son-in-law, it is a gift from the emperor, with imperial decree. Who can snatch the hydrangea thrown by Miss Wang’s family is the Wang’s son-in-law. Seeing that so many people downstairs want to join the pedigree, I guess there are not many people in this scene. The site of the station is all for people to stand, there is no way everyone likes to watch the excitement, there is a gap to watch a movie. What I admire most is these people behind the partition, and they are taking pictures with their mobile phones. Can they be taken clearly? Haha, the focus is on participating in this lively atmosphere. Chinese people celebrate the festival as a fun, you say no. After leaving Xiangyang City, we went to Dali Palace to have a look. This is the exclusive venue for the star meeting in Xiangshan Film and Television City. It is always here. In Xiangshan Film and Television City, more than 1,500 film and television works have been filmed. In recent years, many familiar film and television works have been filmed here. Now there are dozens of crews filming every day, with all kinds of stars. During May Day, there will be a celebrity meeting every afternoon at the Dali Palace. Don’t miss it. There may be a celebrity you like. Looking all the way, I accidentally came to the Republic of China City. There will be a thrilling, tense, and exciting magic flywheel performance here during the May Day. The entire flywheel is 5 meters high, and the actors have to perform various thrilling actions on it. Of course, the more exciting the show, the more attractive it is to tourists. If you look at the entire square crowded with tourists, I feel more shocked than the show. Of course, the activities in the film and television city during May 1st are far more than these, I won’t introduce them one by one, wait for everyone to appreciate it yourself.

The job of therapy cats is to be with, play, and provide warmth at the end of life for patients. However, Oscar is not like other feline friends. As commented by the staff at Steele House: “Oscar is not a friendly cat, he often avoids, sometimes hisses at people when he wants to be alone. .” When he was 6 months old, Oscar began to appear strange powers. Like a messenger of bad news, Oscar has the ability to clearly determine who is about to be picked up by death. Usually about two days before a patient’s death, Oscar would leave his preferred locations and walk through the building’s hallways, visiting individual patients but never staying long. Dr. Dosa said: “ When someone is not ready to die, the cat will walk away. It won’t be in their room until the day they die. Sometimes it will be in the patient’s room up to 4 hours in advance. But usually it only appears about 2 hours before they take their last breath .” Oscar’s way of signaling was to jump into bed, lying next to a patient who was too weak to ward off it. Soon after, the patient takes his last breath. Up to now, more than 100 cases have been correctly predicted by Oscar, helping Oscar become a famous “cat of death” in the US media from 2007 to 2010. And there was only one death without Oscar’s presence. Not because the cat was unpredictable or inattentive, but because a relative of the patient asked to have the cat removed from the hospital bed. However, even when taken out, Oscar still had strange reactions. The cat scratched the front door, meowing. Apparently he wanted to stay in his room and wasn’t happy about being kicked out. Despite the possibility of death, Oscar was not hated at all. In contrast, staff at Steele House often closely observe the cat’s movements to contact the patient’s family soon. Many people were able to meet their loved ones at the last minute. Most of them are grateful to Oscar. Some even praised Oscar’s actions, saying that the cat was trying to get close to and bring warmth to the patients in the moment before saying goodbye to the world. At Steere House, there are currently 25 letters from the patient’s family to thank the cat. Some experts put forward scientific theories to explain this phenomenon. According to them, it is likely that Oscar’s action was simply to alert nurses and medical staff to the patient’s current condition. For example, with a dying person, the frequency of activities and movements in the room will be more (the reason is that medical staff often have to pay attention and follow up). Oscar may very often go to the bedside of a sick person, simply because he senses something unusual. In the animal kingdom, many species have the ability to sense and respond to signals that are difficult to detect around. In the case of Oscar, if the cat keeps wandering around the rooms, the possibility of contact with many people, including the dying patient is quite high and as such, this is just coincidental, accidental. . However, many people disagree with this interpretation. Previously, there was an interesting study that showed that dogs are animals that can detect cancer and some other diseases, although the success rate is not high. Although they do not have extrasensory abilities, instead, their super-sensitive nose helps detect subtle signs of disease that appear during the body’s response to disease. Like dogs, Oscar also has the same ability to smell. The chemicals secreted by the body when dying will trigger a response, but it is not obvious because countless other mixed odors in the hospital such as flowers, food, medicine, cleaning solutions, etc. have masked the “smell” the scent of death”. Until now, the story of the cat Oscar has not been clearly explained by science, so many people still believe that this cat really has the ability to “foretell” about death.
