Maybe everyone’s cognition did not realize how severe the impact of the fluctuation of the epidemic was, especially compared to last year. Compared with the situation where the catering was completely closed at the beginning of the epidemic at the beginning of the year. But in fact, the impact of the catering is not small at all. Compared with last year’s Spring Festival, most of the employees were on vacation, and the stock of vegetables was reduced accordingly. This time the emergency shutdown came. Suddenly, all of our personnel are fully operational, and inventory stocks are fully prepared for the summer vacation,” said Feng Guohua, the founder of Nong Geng Ji.

Nong Geng Ji also stated that the current measures taken by the store are first of all to do its best to do its best to ensure the safety of employees. In addition, the farming record that implemented the clean vegetable business as early as the beginning of the epidemic last year will continue to deepen the semi-finished vegetable business. In June, Nong Geng Ji co-branded Hema Xiansheng first released the co-branded “Kai Shou Cai”. Next, it will speed up the preparation of Kuai Shou Cai, and Tianhong Supermarket will soon list related dishes. The epidemic gave birth to a “cooking economy”. As early as the beginning of the epidemic last year, Shenzhen restaurants had a self-rescue model similar to “quick dishes” under the crisis of dine-in suspension. From switching to online takeaways to selling fresh ingredients in stores, the clean food business was the original “quick dishes.” Prototype. The ingredients are cut and washed in the store, matched with a video of making food, and the dishes are cleaned and delivered to their homes. Diners can also follow the chef’s video instructions to quickly complete a meal that is not lost in the “out of the restaurant”. “You will find that many short videos of home cooking have become popular during the epidemic, and the epidemic has highlighted the need to cook at home: it is safe and delicious, and it saves trouble,” Feng Guohua said. Supermarket launches takeaway discounts Catering businesses have been suspended, and experience businesses such as entertainment and education have also been affected to varying degrees. Facing the rapidly changing epidemic situation, Daqianli, Baoan, currently suspends dine-in restaurants and closes entertainment venues. Among them, Jinyi Studios, Shili Fitness, Park Hyatt KTV, Julie Zoo, Le Man Ice and Snow Kingdom, M8 Sports Fighting Complex, Star Legend, MELAND, Hip-hop Sauce, Mubei modeling and other gathering and closed entertainment shops are temporarily suspended Open.

However, in response to the suspended food and beverages, Baoan Daqianli said that the mall provides self-pick-up and take-out food delivery services. Consumers can order food services on the store applet, takeaway platform or Baoan Daqianli online mall. “At present, Bao’an Daqianli has linked more than 70 catering brands in the venue to fight the epidemic together. It will soon launch the’Takeaway Free Eat’ gourmet area in the Bao’an Daqianli online store, and provide relevant takeaway order reductions; such as receiving coupons. Consumption, takeaway up to 12 yuan off, in addition to the end of July some of the takeaway packages are as low as 30%; while medical staff and community workers can also enjoy the anti-epidemic hero exclusive discount as low as 50% when they come to the store to pick up meals with their work permits”, related The person in charge said. A few days ago, the Guangdong Catering Association has united major take-out platforms, multiple take-out city distribution service providers, private domain take-out, and new retail software service providers to establish a “Take-out Empowerment Working Committee”, which will provide subsidies for riders and smart food dispensers at the end. The deployment of global traffic, global traffic aggregation and timely deployment of capacity, etc. help the catering industry to “help itself” as much as possible in the takeaway

Fight against cryptocurrencies China closes data centers

As of: 06/22/2021 8:26 am

Virtual means of payment like Bitcoin are a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. That is why it is vehemently against it: Now data centers have been switched off in several parts of the country.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The Chinese government continues to vehemently oppose everything that has to do with Bitcoin. Banks and financial service providers were again asked not to offer any more services that have to do with crypto payment methods. One wants to preserve the stability and the security of the financial market and protect the assets and property of the population, said the state central bank of China.

China had banned trading in crypto-currency such as Bitcoin as early as 2017, as the first large country in the world. The so-called mining, however, i.e. the electronic generation of Bitcoins and Co with huge computer networks, was still tolerated by the Chinese authorities. The government has only been systematically taking action against decentralized and digital means of payment for around six weeks. Huge data centers were shut down in several parts of the country. Most recently, around two thirds of all new Bitcoins worldwide were generated with computers in China. This share will now decrease rapidly and significantly, say analysts.

Booming cryptocurrency China’s answer to the Bitcoin

In China, almost two thirds of all bitcoins on the world market are mined – still tolerated by the state.

Concept of bitcoin contradicts politics

Monetary and currency policy are centrally controlled in China. The central bank is directly under the communist leadership. The Chinese currency, renminbi or yuan, is not freely convertible. The decentralized and open concept of Bitcoin contradicts this policy and is therefore rejected by the Chinese government. At the same time, the government is working on its own digital currency, which, however, has almost nothing to do with Bitcoin.

The stricter action taken by the Chinese authorities against crypto-currency has helped Bitcoin to lose around half of its value in the past two months. The Bitcoin price is still a good three times as high as a year ago

Qinghai Province and Xinjiang Autonomous Region have been ordered by Chinese authorities to close down virtual currency mines from today.
In a row in a day, China has made strong moves to crack down on virtual currency-related activities. After the announcement of the arrest of more than 1,100 people suspected of using virtual currency to launder money, China continued to ask the Qinghai provinces and Xinjiang Autonomous Region to close the virtual currency mines.

Specifically, leaders in Qinghai province ordered the closure of Bitcoin mining pools on Wednesday (June 9) and banned related companies from operating in the province. On the same day, leaders in the city of Changji in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region ordered the closure of the mines here, which hold the largest Bitcoin mining capacity in the world. Inside a cryptocurrency mine in Sichuan. Meanwhile, searches for the keywords Huobi, Binance and OKEx have also been blocked on the search engine Baidu and on the social network Weibo. These are the three major virtual currency exchanges in the world and are used by the Chinese to trade cryptocurrencies. This is the second time Weibo has blocked cryptocurrency-related content in the past few months. In March, the social media accounts of the three exchanges were blocked by Weibo for unknown reasons. Earlier, Weibo also blocked the account of Binance co-founder and famous shark Justin Sun. A series of moves to crack down on virtual currencies from China has caused Bitcoin to plummet since the middle of last month, at times dropping more than 50% from its peak to $30,000. The reason given is because virtual currency mining goes against China’s goal of being carbon neutral by 2060. According to data from the University of Cambridge, Bitcoin miners consume about 111.5 Terawatts per hour in a year, equivalent to the total electricity consumed in the Netherlands. On Monday, the Chinese regulator held a meeting to emphasize the task of strengthening the supervision of blockchain platforms, VPN (virtual private network) services and cross-border technologies with gambling elements. . China is taking over the world’s largest Bitcoin mining capacity. (source: Cambridge University) China currently accounts for about 65% of global Bitcoin mining capacity, according to the University of Cambridge. Among them, the regions of Xinjiang, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia currently account for the largest capacity. Qinghai province ranked ninth, accounting for about 0.26% of total capacity. The Inner Mongolia region began cracking down on miners in February and shut down 35 mining companies at the end of April. Sichuan is currently the most neutral place when it comes to hydroelectricity instead of coal mines and no new policy has yet been introduced. Outside of China, miners are actively looking for new homes. The President of El Salvador has officially recognized Bitcoin as a legal currency and promoted the mining of this virtual currency using geothermal energy from volcanoes.
