Time draws back to 2004. When Professor Xu Kaihua, the founder of GEM (Shenzhen GEM High-Tech Co., Ltd.), returned to Jingmen, not far from his hometown in Hubei, to start his own business with the first prize of Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Award, people would never dream. I thought that Xu Kaihua used a small waste battery to recycle, which opened the prelude to the battery recycling industry and also started the black-and-white battle between the “regular army” and the “guerrilla”.

“Car owners cannot find or are not sure whether the recycling point is formal or not. Some power batteries recycled from traditional 4S shops and other channels also flow into small workshops.” Yu Puritan, secretary general of the Zhongguancun New Battery Technology Innovation Alliance and chairman of the Battery Hundreds Association In an interview with Chuangyebang, he revealed the inside story of the industry.

The business of “small workshops” is booming, while the supply of retired batteries in 4S stores of regular car companies is constantly losing. This makes people wonder whether battery recycling and cascading use of electric vehicles is a good business?

In the face of a large amount of goods flowing into the black market, formal enterprises are forced to trade with “small workshops”. As the leader of domestic new energy vehicle battery recycling, GEM Chairman Xu Kaihua warned new players in the battery recycling industry:

“Don’t come in, it’s a waste of money. Only the top five in the industry can survive.”

However, investors don’t think so. Just last month, Bocui Cycle, a power battery recycling solution provider, has just completed tens of millions of Pre-A rounds of financing, and Lanchi Ventures has made an exclusive investment.

“ At present, the investment circle is paying too much attention to the battery recycling track. In fact, the capacity of the industry that has been approved for construction has exceeded the battery capacity. “The person in charge of a battery recycling company said.

Why everyone refuses to talk about battery recycling

Industry giants have invested huge sums of money, investors and entrepreneurs are gearing up, coupled with national policy support, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the battery recycling industry becomes the next outlet.

According to data from the China Automotive Technology Research Center, the total number of domestic power batteries retired in 2020 will exceed 200,000 tons (about 25GWh). Where did the 200,000 tons of retired batteries go?

However, when the reporter visited a number of car companies, power battery companies, and battery recycling companies, they found that most companies avoid battery recycling, and new outlets in the 100-billion-level market have even become “taboos.” As a leading company in the field of new energy vehicles in China, BYD has launched the layout of power lithium battery recycling very early. At present, BYD’s battery recycling channels mainly entrust authorized dealers to recycle used power batteries. When there is a customer’s request or when a scrapped vehicle needs to replace the power battery, the dealer will take out the power battery and transport it to BYD Baorong factory for preliminary inspection. If the used batteries can be reused and continue to be used, the used batteries will be further tested at the Baorong factory. These batteries will continue to be used in the field of home energy storage or base station backup power in the future. The reporter wrote to BYD, but the other party was unwilling to reply. Yu Qingjiao stated that in terms of battery recycling ecology, at present, car companies, battery recycling companies and battery manufacturers have not yet formed a unified pricing for battery recycling, and the recycling business model is not perfect. Car companies “peek-a-boo”, power battery manufacturers and battery recycling companies have also played “Tai Chi.” “We have communicated with the relevant departments of battery recycling and will not accept interviews this time.” The relevant person in charge of AVIC lithium battery told reporters. Qingyan, who has had technological innovations in the echelon utilization of power batteries, also said that the relevant person in charge also said that it can only provide an introduction to its battery echelon utilization technology. As for the business model and pricing model of battery recycling, it is inconvenient to answer. “Enterprises have avoided talking about the recycling and utilization of decommissioned power batteries, and they are less motivated. The main reason is that the technical route of battery cascade utilization is not clear.” said Lin Boqiang, dean of the China Energy Policy Research Institute of Xiamen University. The energy storage path, what direction it will take in the future, and whether it is economical, requires both government supervision and government policy support. According to the calculations of Battery China.com, it is estimated that by 2025, the recycling value of power batteries produced in the two directions of cascade utilization and recycling will exceed 50 billion yuan; its potential market value may exceed 100 billion yuan in 2030. The industry is waiting for the “wind.” However, the recycling channels of many formal and qualified enterprises are not smooth, and a large number of retired power batteries flow into the black market. Some formal battery recycling companies even have to cooperate with black market vendors to purchase batteries from the latter to maintain the operation of the factory’s machinery and business promotion. This has undoubtedly contributed to the prosperity of the black recycling market. While pushing up the purchase price, it has also increased the difficulty of making profits for formal recycling companies. “One is because the number of companies is small and the coverage of outlets is limited; the other is that small workshops often use the banner of’high-price recycling, on-site recycling’ to obtain more waste battery resources.” Yu Qingjiao said. Due to technical problems in small workshops, the recovery rate of effective ingredients is not high, and there is a serious problem of waste pollution. The market is still in a period of disorganization, and it is difficult to guarantee the profitability of recovery. “Small workshops” generally have several treatment methods after recycling the batteries. Among them, the most common is to disassemble the battery and extract precious metals such as cobalt and lithium for sale. The price of non-renewable cobalt metal reached more than 600,000 yuan per ton when the price of non-renewable cobalt metal was the highest. In addition, the “Small Workshop” will sell the batteries to low-speed electric vehicles, electric bicycles and other echelon utilization areas not advocated by countries after recycling, causing great hidden dangers to the driving safety of the latter. “Batteries are taken from the black market. The source of waste battery materials is very poorly consistent. There are batteries of all types and types. This poses a big challenge to engineering design and project operation. Some foreign countries’ compliance with waste The collection is well classified, which will reduce the difficulty and cost of later collection, storage, and transportation.” Lin Xiao, founder and CEO of Bocui Cycle, told Chuangyebang. Yu Qingjiao pointed out that the current policies and regulations are still in the exploratory period. Although they have released a clear signal to support battery recycling, there is no real system formed, especially the circulation legal system. Second, traceability management and other regulatory mechanisms need to be strengthened to guide the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to strengthen battery recycling collaboration. “The first is the unblocking of recycling channels. Car companies in my country assume the main responsibility for power battery recycling. Recycling companies need to strengthen close cooperation with car companies, and strengthen battery life cycle traceability with battery companies to reduce recycling costs; secondly, through technology Innovate, increase material recycling rate, and increase recycling revenue.” Yu Qingjiao believes that the battery recycling industry is still in the early stages of development, and scale is also a key factor affecting profitability. The state should guide, regulate, supervise and provide financial support. Is battery recycling a good business? Although the recycling channels of decommissioned batteries need to be improved, and the material recycling rate and recycling efficiency of batteries need to be improved, some companies have already begun to deploy battery recycling business and have gradually become the industry’s leading company. Bangpu Cycle is one of them. “The constant has something.” Directly in front of the desk of Li Changdong, the founder and general manager of Bangpu Cycle, hung these four Chinese characters written in seal script. In Li Changdong’s eyes, Bangpu recognized the battery recycling, and it lasted 16 years, which is the best explanation of these four characters. In 2001, Li Changdong served as the production plant manager at Highpower Battery Factory. At that time, most people only focused on the front-end production of the battery and the intermediate consumption link, and the recycling link was often regarded as “garbage picking” and “recycling tatters.” Li Changdong found that the profit of battery production is getting lower and lower, and the scraps and defective products generated in the battery production process are also difficult to deal with. Handing over to the Environmental Protection Agency for processing will require a huge processing fee, and failure to pay will result in substandard emissions. “Can these battery waste be recycled for subsequent recycling?” This idea often appeared in Li Changdong’s mind. So he quit his job in the battery factory and raised 500,000 yuan with his partners. In 2005, Bangpu Recycling was formally established, with Li Changdong as the general manager, focusing on the recycling business of consumer lithium batteries. In 2008, the promulgation of the “Circular Economy Law” provided policy support for the development of talents and technology for battery recycling companies such as Bangpu. More and more scientific research institutions and talents are paying attention to battery recycling. In 2011, Li Changdong decided to further expand the scope of battery recycling business. He began to focus on power batteries from consumer lithium batteries to extend the battery recycling industry chain. Source: Bangpu Cycle At present, Bangpu has formed four major industrial sectors: battery recycling, automobile recycling, minerals and new materials, specializing in the recycling and processing of power batteries (power batteries for electric vehicles), gradient energy storage utilization; traditional scrap car recycling and dismantling, and key components Remanufacturing; and the provision of industrial production and commercialized recycling service solutions for high-end battery materials and automotive functional bottleneck materials. In 2015, in order to develop a circular economy and form an ecological closed loop, CATL acquired Guangdong Bangpu Cycle, realizing a circular industrial chain integrating R&D, production, sales, and recycling. Bangpu Cycle has now become China’s largest recycling base for used batteries. In September 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the first batch of “whitelists” of enterprises that comply with the “Industry Standards and Conditions for Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Power Batteries for New Energy Vehicles”. Five companies including Bangpu Cycle, GEM, Huayou Cobalt, Highpower Technology, and Guanghua Technology were selected. However, from 2017 to 2018, the battery recycling market is still in its infancy. The relevant person in charge of Ningde Times told Entrepreneurship that the number of retired power batteries from 2017 to 2018 was relatively small, and the types and regional distribution were concentrated. About 17,000 new energy vehicles produced during the “Ten Cities and Thousand Vehicles” period are the mainstay. The decommissioned power batteries are about 27,200 tons (1.22GWh), of which about 95% are lithium iron phosphate batteries. From 2019 to 2020, buses, rental and other operating vehicles that entered the market in the early stages have reached the mandatory scrapping period. Early private user vehicles have begun to choose complete vehicle scrapping due to factors such as the decline in power battery performance, the lack of spare parts for old batteries, or the high replacement cost. Retired. Starting in 2020, my country’s power batteries have begun to enter a wave of large-scale decommissioning. During the period 2021-2025, my country’s new energy vehicles will enter a stage of rapid growth. New energy vehicles that entered the market in 2014-2018 will enter a period of obsolescence. With the continuous expansion of the scale of decommissioned power batteries, some people believe that the use of cascades should be increased to maximize the effectiveness of decommissioned batteries. Some people also believe that as battery prices continue to drop, the cost advantage of cascading utilization will gradually disappear or even hang upside down, and it should be directly recycled. The 2020 battery survey report released by Bloomberg New Energy Finance shows that by 2030, battery prices may exceed 58 US dollars (about 370 yuan) / kWh, and the use of solid-state batteries will accelerate the process of battery price reductions. By then, the battery cost will even be lower than the cost of cascading utilization. “It needs to be divided into different situations, mainly with technical support, able to accurately detect the condition of retired batteries, select batteries with better battery performance (safety, cycle life, energy density, etc.), and use them in cascades, which is more economical; Those with poor performance are directly recycled to avoid hidden dangers such as safety.” Yu Qingjiao said. Three problems of power battery recycling At present, the power battery recycling model has two major trends, one is echelon utilization, and the other is recycling, dismantling and recycling. Echelon utilization is the dismantling and reorganization of used batteries and re-applying them to energy storage power stations, low-speed electric vehicles, small electrical appliances and other fields that do not require high energy density. It is mainly suitable for lithium iron phosphate batteries with longer life and more stable performance; Recycling is the extraction of valuable metal materials from waste batteries, which is suitable for ternary lithium batteries containing expensive metals such as cobalt and nickel. The recycling of lithium iron phosphate batteries faces the problem of poor economy. Echelon utilization is still in the stage of trial and exploration. The main reason is that the battery specifications and models produced by various manufacturers are different, which makes it difficult to recombine. The battery materials used by each manufacturer are different, and the battery life is different; the battery performance of each manufacturer is different, and the combination Later security is more difficult to guarantee. The relevant person in charge of the Ningde Times pointed out that the economic value of cascade utilization at the current stage is still low, and further technical and industry standards are still needed. The recycling and dismantling can be said to have formed a certain scale, whether it is from the national policy or the market scale, we can get a glimpse of its trend. Although both are positive trends, the problems they face are also extremely challenging. The current battery recycling industry is facing three problems in process technology, policy and profitability. The first is process technology. Whether it is echelon utilization or dismantling and regeneration, they are facing severe barriers. The current biggest obstacle to echelon utilization is the remaining battery life and performance evaluation. In general, the recycling technology is relatively mature, but key technologies and equipment such as the efficient extraction of valuable metals need to be upgraded, and the level of pollution prevention and control in the dismantling and treatment of waste power batteries needs to be improved. At present, hydrometallurgy and physical repair methods are the main technologies for the recycling of used power batteries. The comprehensive recovery rate of metal elements such as nickel, cobalt and manganese in hydrometallurgy can reach 98%. The second is the policy aspect. At present, relevant departments have successively issued systems and regulatory documents that guide and support the development of the industry, and have sorted out a clearer direction for battery recycling. However, how to further effectively manage, rationally build a power battery recycling system, effectively implement full life cycle traceability management, and guide the upstream and downstream entities of the industry chain to fulfill the responsibility of power battery recycling requires the government to consider the market and industry. Planning and overall planning. In 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling and Utilization of Power Batteries for New Energy Vehicles”, which for the first time clarified the responsibilities of automobile companies, battery companies, and comprehensive utilization companies in the recycling process, and pointed out that automobile manufacturers bear the main responsibility for power battery recycling. Perform corresponding responsibilities in all links of power battery recycling to ensure the effective use and environmental protection of power batteries. Finally, it is difficult to make profit. At present, the batteries that have really entered the scrap stage are still the earliest batch of batteries when new energy vehicles first entered the market. The number is not that large. Among them, lithium iron phosphate batteries account for a larger portion, which is more suitable for cascading use. In terms of economic benefits, recycling and dismantling The benefit is not high. In contrast, ternary lithium batteries have greater recycling value. But the reality is that it will take time for the ternary battery decommissioning flashpoint to arrive. Currently, the retired power batteries on the market are mainly lithium iron phosphate batteries. Because they contain less precious metal elements, the recycling value of lithium iron phosphate batteries is not high. However, due to its good safety and long service life, it is suitable for cascading utilization. The ternary lithium battery contains rare metals such as nickel and cobalt, so it has a high recycling value. According to the current technical level of ternary lithium batteries, the capacity density of power batteries commonly used in electric vehicles is 260Wh/kg. According to this energy density, at 20,000 kilometers a year, calculated based on shallow charge and shallow discharge, the cycle life is at least 1,000 times . If used properly, it can be used for at least 5 to 8 years on an electric vehicle. In the battery recycling industry, several leading companies have formed a certain scale of regeneration processing capacity, and their technical routes are in a stage where a hundred flowers bloom. Relying on its subsidiary Bangpu Cycle, CATL has created an ecological closed loop of “battery production→use→cascade utilization→recycling and resource regeneration”. Bangpu Cycle will uniformly process the recycled power batteries for electric vehicles. First, the battery modules are completely discharged, the battery cells are separated, and then sorted. After testing and evaluation, disassemble the batteries that do not meet the echelon utilization. Disassemble and separate components such as the positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte and diaphragm, and then leaching and removing the electrode material, and then prepare the scrapped power battery into the precursor of the power battery positive electrode material through processes such as ion exchange, precipitation, and adsorption. . Bangpu’s existing capacity for processing waste batteries exceeds 120,000 tons per year, and the total recovery rate of core metal materials for battery products has reached 99.3%. Due to the continuous decrease in the cost of lithium batteries in recent years, the annual report shows that CATL’s revenue of lithium battery materials in 2020 is 3.429 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 20.35%. Source: Grammy As one of the leading companies in the domestic battery recycling industry, GEM’s power battery recycling business only began to make a profit in 2019, three years after the initial production. GEM’s advantage lies in the start of the recycling and utilization of waste batteries. It has accumulated 20 years of experience. In addition, it also has industrial layouts such as home appliance recycling and end-of-life automobiles to play a synergistic role to drive the recycling of power batteries. At present, the flourishing business model and technical route of battery recycling make the future market prospects still confusing, and it is still unknown whether it can effectively solve the pain points of the industry. From the perspective of business models, the current battery recycling is more dependent on other businesses, the tiered utilization is mainly dependent on energy storage, two-wheeler PACK plants or battery factories, and the recycling is dependent on the hydrometallurgical plant. If a company survives only on ladders or regenerative businesses, it may lose money. “How to do the most effective echelon utilization, as the scale of retired power batteries in the market becomes larger and larger, the technical route will gradually become clear.” Lin Boqiang told Chuangyebang. Where are the opportunities for entrepreneurs? Behind the black-and-white war between the “regular army” and the “guerrilla”, a group of start-up technology companies in the battery recycling industry are quietly emerging. In 2019, Lin Xiao, Ph.D. and senior engineer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, established Bocui Cycle to provide a full set of solutions for battery recycling. According to Lin Xiao, due to the domestic garbage embargo, the issuance of the European mandatory battery law, and the accelerated deployment of battery recycling, ESG and other industries abroad, it is hoped that new links in the power battery industry chain will achieve a strong East Asian power battery manufacturer. breakthrough. The company’s overseas customer demand exceeds expectations, accounting for more than half. The obsolescence cycle of domestic power batteries is also very urgent. As of 2020, domestic new energy vehicles have sold more than 1 million units for three consecutive years, and 900,000 units have been sold in the first May of 2021. “Three years ago, the first batch of electric vehicles with an annual sales of one million units was calculated based on the service life of 5-8 years, that is, 1 million vehicles would be scrapped in two years at the earliest, and the battery pack of each vehicle was calculated at 400~500 kg. Therefore, in the next three years on the market, more than 500,000 tons of waste batteries will be scrapped every year. This amount is actually quite large, and the recycling market needs to be prepared.” Lin Xiao said. In the battery recycling market, everyone hopes to have mature technology and equipment solutions that can be quickly replicated and promoted. If a national processing capacity of 500,000 tons needs to be built in three years, at least 100,000 tons will have been running well in two years. Production capacity, and there are 2-3 kinds of technical routes to choose from, it is possible to achieve five-fold expansion within a year. In other words, one year later, there will be at least 20,000-30,000 tons of mature technology and production lines that can be replicated for battery recycling. In addition, the ratio of “paper-based recycling capacity” and actual battery output is seriously out of balance, which is also a big “blocker” in front of start-ups. In Lin Xiao’s view, the battery has entered the obsolescence cycle for more than five years, leading to a large paper production bubble in the battery recycling industry. “For investors, many of the leading companies that are currently being recycled, such as whitelisted companies, have already been listed or do not need financing. At the same time, paper production capacity is too high and supply exceeds demand. The opportunity for entrepreneurs is that there are still No company can really do this well, and there are still opportunities to try innovation and breakthroughs, although many companies may be eliminated, just like the development of the lithium battery manufacturing industry chain in the past few years, from the hills to the top.” Lin Xiao pointed out. The business opportunities that will be generated in the field of battery recycling need to be paid attention to also include the realization of material regeneration through battery recycling, thereby realizing the closed loop of the industrial chain, and changing the existing industrial structure and profit distribution. The technical direction of recycling will gradually move closer to battery materials, because in essence, battery recycling is a collection of resource collection and material recycling. There will also be many new variables in the collection channels of battery materials and the direction of the material recycling industry. For example, after the battery exchange mode, the requirements for recycling channels will become weaker, but it will give rise to another industry demand, such as battery exchange equipment and batteries. Asset management, etc., and whether it is possible to directly recycle used batteries at the grid swap point. There will also be many new variables in the collection channels of battery materials and the direction of the material recycling industry. For example, after the battery exchange mode, the requirements for recycling channels will become weaker, but it will give rise to another industry demand, such as battery exchange equipment and batteries. Asset management, etc., and whether it is possible to directly recycle used batteries at the grid swap point. “We think that battery recycling will definitely have great technical and market demand. It is just the beginning. This is a big track where few Chinese companies can lead the way from the beginning. It is different from the chip, lithium battery manufacturing and other industries starting from the beginning. , We can take a different development path. Once we can continue to lead the recycling technology and industry at home and abroad, and close the new energy industry chain, we can open up basic industries such as energy, resources, materials, and transportation.” Lin Xiao said. Under the wave of global electrification, the prospect of battery cascade utilization and recycling is beyond doubt. “It’s only a matter of time before the market scale exceeds tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of dollars. As the industry chain matures, some high-quality companies will definitely be nurtured.” According to Puritanism, despite the bright future market prospects, battery recycling still lacks uniform pricing, the recycling business model is not perfect, and “small workshops” are rampant, battery recycling is still a game among leading companies. “Without recycling sources, this business is not your turn.” “At present, for entrepreneurs, the business model of battery recycling is very important. After all, it needs to be profitable. However, it is not ruled out that some companies can make the capital market pay, but at least there must be some visible business models before the capital market is willing to pay. “Lin Boqiang said to Chuangyebang. For entrepreneurs, everything is still full of variables

Level 4 house with Thai roof with mezzanine in the countryside A model of a level 4 house with a mezzanine in the city Normally, level 4 houses are built on a modest ground, so the mezzanine design is considered an effective way to increase the usable area of ​​​​the house without causing its height to change. The mezzanine (or mezzanine floor, loft) is an intermediate floor, designed to connect with the ground floor and used as a space for resting, reading, worshiping… The model house level 4 has a mezzanine that is both beautiful and economical. Save the living space for the family as well as create a highlight for the house. Even if the owner uses the first floor for business, the living room can be moved to the mezzanine so that the family can both receive guests and observe the trading on the first floor. House space with mezzanine Currently, there are several types of mezzanines that are chosen by many people such as the front mezzanine, the side mezzanine and the in-room mezzanine. In particular, the front mezzanine is used a lot because it makes a strong impression when entering the living room, creating a new and attractive feeling. The mezzanine on the side brings novelty, uniqueness and personality, but must ensure the area is large enough because this type of design requires a spacious space. The mezzanine in the room is often arranged on the toilet, creating a workspace or reading place. However, to be able to find a beautiful mezzanine house design idea and suitable for the needs of the family, homeowners need to have a good construction plan. It is necessary to determine the available space, choose the most suitable material for the structure of the building and, importantly, choose the height of the mezzanine. It is necessary to avoid the design of the mezzanine that is too high or too low to affect the daily activities of family members. In addition, it is necessary to calculate in the most meticulous and detailed way the ventilation and air circulation capacity by using the appropriate light sources of the mezzanine. The height of the mezzanine must be suitable so as not to create a sense of mystery or shock for occupants. According to many architects, the height of the mezzanine should fall between 2.5m – 2.8m, the mezzanine should not be designed lower than this minimum height to avoid causing a feeling of mystery and suppression for users use; but also should not be too much higher because it makes people feel dizzy and lose their aesthetics. For a house with depth, homeowners can design a mezzanine located in the ground floor and used as a common living place. Floors with mezzanines usually have to be 4.5m – 5m high, mezzanine floors need to be designed to occupy 2/3 of the area of ​​a floor. Mezzanine design should not occupy more than 80% of the ground floor area. In particular, in Vietnam, when designing mezzanine floors, great attention must be paid so as not to violate the Construction Law; For example, if the owner fills the atrium in the mezzanine floor, it will be considered an act of building more than the allowed number of floors and will be fined. Some of the most popular indoor mezzanine models today:

A few years ago, Claudia’s fourth-level house in a small Brazilian town was so dilapidated that many people mistook it for an abandoned house that could collapse at any time. So this female host decided to renovate the house in the Mediterranean style. Claudia cleaned the house thoroughly, repainting all the walls with white paint while the doors were painted in dark blue and blue for accents. This is a 4-level house with 1 floor, simple and quite small design, so homeowners use tiles for roofing, most of the objects in the house are hung on the wall to save space. The kitchen and living room are connected to each other, the kitchen cabinets are placed close to the wall, next to the window so that the heat of the kitchen when cooking will fly out, not suffocating the house by the smell of food. The bedroom has large windows painted in dark blue, and the wardrobe and bed are all against the wall so that everything looks as spacious and uncluttered as possible. In the house, there is a skylight that directs to the cactus area, the two sides of the land are 2 bedroom windows, every morning or evening the homeowner can open these two doors for more light, ventilation and fullness in the room. vitality. The furniture in the house is made of wood, creating a cozy feeling for the house. The image after the house was renovated once made many people “shocked” because it was so beautiful and they thought that people could completely apply it to many degraded level 4 houses or too simple in other designs. The back garden is surrounded by white walls, the owner does not plant grass, but spreads gravel and uses wood and firewood to decorate a wooden table to sit here. Up to now, although the house has been renovated for many years, it is still being shared by many internet users and taken as a model when talking about the renovation of level 4 houses.

A recently completed 4-level house in Trancoso (Bahia, Brazil) is receiving praise from many people on Archi Daily for its simple, rustic design, which is extremely beautiful and functional. The whole house uses only white paint, the highlight comes from the tile roof and wooden trusses. The bedroom has large windows for light and air circulation, white sheets and curtains give it a sophisticated feel, while the deep brown color of the recycled wood panels is somewhat rotten (which has been treated to make safety) from the bed, wardrobe to give people a warm, rustic. In the kitchen, the dining table is placed between the wash counter and the cooking table to optimize space. The table is paved with polished granite, while the two side counters are made of asphalt coated concrete. The cups and cups in the house are mostly ceramic to “fit in” with the simple and old look of the house. The toilet has a small window for air circulation and is fitted with a bronze mirror to add to the antique look, the hand basin makes use of a log hewn like a boat, the baskets are made of woven bamboo. The house is located in the middle of a green garden. Outside there is also a small swimming pool for homeowners to “cool off” on hot summer days. In the house, many seats are arranged in areas near trees for people to mingle with nature and rest after hours of tiring work. Compared to the modern house design next door, the level 4 house looks quiet and natural rustic. Design drawings of the house.

The Tianfu Greenway system is “one axis, two mountains, three rings, and seven belts”. Guixi Ecological Park is located on the Jincheng Greenway, one of the three rings. This “ring” refers to the expressway around the city. , Because the ecological background is the best here, it is also the earliest point for the start of the entire Jincheng Greenway. In addition, Tianfu Avenue, the north-south traffic artery of Chengdu, just passes through the park, and this has become one of the good places to enjoy the streetscape of Chengdu. Standing on the bridgehead and looking around, you can see the tall buildings here, although it is one of the most prosperous areas in Chengdu. First, it is also full of greenery, and the environment is very good, without the depressive feeling of the urban forest. Among the many buildings, the most conspicuous one is the Global Center next to the greenway. I believe this building is the largest single building in Asia, and it is also a commercial complex with the design concept of “flowing melody”. It not only covers the New Century Shopping Center of various brands, but also has Paradise Island Ocean Park, one of the world’s largest artificial beaches, and the internationally renowned hotel Paradise Intercontinental Hotel, which can be called one of the landmarks of Chengdu. The park has an excellent natural environment. Currently, a 6-meter-wide primary greenway of 2.3 kilometers and a 4-meter-wide secondary greenway of 5.5 kilometers have been constructed. There are more than 30 varieties of hibiscus in blooming hills and mountains. , There are more than 30,000 Hibiscus Misty Rain, which can be said to be a scene one step at a time. Even the lotus flowers are blooming in the nearby shallows. It seems that summer has already come. Not only that, for the convenience of visitors, there is basically a bench for visitors to rest every 50 meters in the park, as well as 15 public toilets, which solves the “worries” of visitors. At the same time, it does not charge tickets, so it is also allowed here. It has become a good place for surrounding residents to take a leisurely stroll. The catering facilities in the park are also gradually improving. For example, there is an ancient tea restaurant Zunsheng Yard dedicated to reviving the aesthetics of life in traditional culture and spreading a healthy and interesting lifestyle. In it, you can taste tea, taste Chinese dim sum and some traditional handicrafts. , There are also BISTRO-X Xichu, Nantang Tingxiang, Miyuan Coffee, etc. dinner and afternoon tea shops, fast food KFC is also about to open, there are many such as badminton courts, tennis courts, basketball courts of the straight arena, etc. Sports venues are simply a train of sports and leisure. It is for the above reasons that Guixi Ecological Park has become one of the typical representatives of Tianfu Greenway, and Tianfu Greenway Planning Exhibition Center is also here. The 1,700-square-meter steel structure and all-glass façade circular single building also makes it a scenic line in the park. The exhibition center does not charge tickets, and it can be visited freely. The Miyuan Coffee just mentioned is on the second side of the exhibition center. floor. The center stated the goal of the Tianfu Greenway, which is to enable the people of Chengdu to “push the windows into the wild and open the door to see the green” and build Chengdu into a “garden city under the snow mountain”. This is not bragging. The Tianfu Greenway was mentioned earlier. The system is “one axis, two mountains, three rings, and seven belts”, so what is the total length? According to the information checked inside, the length of the Tianfu Green Road is about 16,930 kilometers of regional-level green road! The prefecture-level green roads of this scale are beyond the reach of other cities.

Sales increase The chemical industry is raging

As of: 06/09/2021 3:54 p.m.

The third largest German branch of industry has reached the pre-crisis level again. After growth in the first quarter, the chemical industry raised its forecast for the year. The pharmaceutical business in particular is doing better than expected. Despite the rise in raw material prices and delivery problems, the German chemical industry continued on its growth path in the first three months of the year. As announced by the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), the sector increased its sales by 1.1 percent to 51.3 billion euros compared to the same period in the previous year. Production increased by 0.8 percent. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, sales growth was even 3.6 percent.

Again above pre-crisis levels

With the sustained upward trend, the third largest German industrial sector – after the car and machine builders – has already compensated for the corona dent. Production and sales are now back above pre-crisis levels. Above all, exports to EU countries increased. In addition, there was the increasing demand from Asia. The chemical industry was also able to grow in the German home market – thanks to higher prices.

“Hope for a good year in chemistry”

VCI President Christian Kullmann, who is also the head of the chemical company Evonik, was delighted with the development. “The first few months give hope for a good year in chemistry,” he said. “The demand for chemicals and pharmaceuticals is increasing.” The industry association is now even more optimistic about the year as a whole. For 2021, the VCI predicts sales growth of eight percent and an increase in production of 4.5 percent. So far, a plus of five percent in sales and an increase of three percent in production had been forecast.

Price increases and corona vaccines as drivers

Strong price increases for the chemical and pharmaceutical products manufactured should make a significant contribution to this. The association is anticipating 3.5 percent higher prices for the year as a whole. The chemical industry is also benefiting from the corona vaccine boom. There are numerous suppliers for the vaccines from BioNTech, Moderna & Co, including Evonik and Wacker Chemie. You act as a technology supplier or as a contract manufacturer.

Worry about delivery bottlenecks

Only supply bottlenecks for materials and intermediate products are dampening the good mood in the chemical industry. “They are now affecting the operational processes of every second company,” warned VCI President Kullmann. However, the situation should ease again in the course of the year. In March, the blockade of the Suez Canal interrupted the supply chain from Asia in the chemical industry. Around 16 percent of chemical imports and 18 percent of exports take this route.

Huge green electricity demand for climate neutrality

In addition, the more stringent climate protection targets are making the industry difficult. “The way there remains in the fog”, said recently Wolfgang Große Entrup, General Manager of the VCI. “For the new goal, our industry needs more electricity than Germany currently consumes overall – as green electricity.” If the industry does not get competitive prices for electricity from renewable energies, it will not manage the energy transition. In spring 2020, the association presented a study in which it considers climate neutrality by 2050 to be technically feasible. For this, however, enormous additional amounts of green electricity are required. By the mid-2030s, the chemical industry’s electricity needs will increase more than tenfold. In addition, the electricity price would have to drop to four cents per kilowatt hour, demanded the VCI. The industry currently pays between eight and ten cents per kilowatt hour.

BASF is pushing ahead

VCI President Kullmann considers the renewed tightening of climate protection targets and the more rapid increase in CO2 prices called for by the Greens in their election manifesto as “irresponsible”. At the annual chemistry conference of the “Handelsblatt”, he warned that those who shackle the industry put the ax to their transformation. Good politics are based on incentives and not on bans. BASF is one of the first chemical companies to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero on a fixed date. The people of Ludwigshafen want to become climate neutral by 2050. Among other things, one should help huge wind farm in the North Sea that BASF is planning together with RWE . The plant with a capacity of two gigawatts is to supply the Ludwigshafen chemical site with green electricity from 2030.

Source of pictures of on-site discussion at the forum: Photo by reporter Zhang Jian Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles mutually promoting each other is a major adjustment and improvement of my country’s economic development strategy and path in the “14th Five-Year Plan” and a longer period of time in the future. At present, many cities from the coast to the inland are setting their sights on the strategic fulcrum of building a “double cycle”. What opportunities and challenges will emerge in this? On May 22, 2021 International Gateway Hub City Development Forum and Peking University National Development Research Institute (Chengdu) Forum were held in Chengdu. Huang Zhuo, Assistant Dean of Peking University National Development Research Institute and Deputy Director of Peking University Digital Finance Research Center, Chengdu Supply Chain Secretary-General Wang Zhichao, Dai Deliang, West China Managing Director Zhang Yupeng, and Jiwei IoT Senior Vice President Chen Yuan discussed the opportunities and challenges of the new fulcrum of the “dual cycle”. Chinese cities usher in a period of development opportunities The “dual cycle” new development pattern is a very big opportunity for the Chinese economy. Especially in the past 2020, benefiting from a complete industrial chain and a stable supply chain, the Chinese economy has played a decisive role in the global economic recovery. At the forum, Huang Zhuo gave a set of statistics. In just ten years from 2010 to 2020, the proportion of Chinese companies in the world’s top 500 companies has increased from 54 in 2010 to 138 in 2020, which has surpassed that of the United States. 121 companies, “This shows that Chinese companies are at a new level in supply chain building.” At present, the importance of Chinese companies in the global economic system continues to increase, and they are accelerating their movement to the upstream of the industrial chain. Many companies have shown higher and higher right of speech and pricing power in their respective industries. From this perspective, “the new development pattern of the “double cycle” means a new stage of development for China. It is also a very broad opportunity for Chinese cities.” Huang Zhuo said. Take Chengdu as an example. In recent years, Chengdu has developed strong momentum. It has two major hubs, aviation and railway, covering more than 130 countries and regions. At the same time, it has a complete range of industries, including two trillion-level industries and five five-hundred billion-level industries. Wang Zhichao believes that this has played a key role in supporting Chengdu’s comprehensive and in-depth participation in the global division of labor and trade. In addition, Chengdu has a relatively high level of openness. The comprehensive bonded zone has ranked first in the country for three consecutive years. Especially during the epidemic last year, Chengdu’s foreign trade processing enterprises took on many transfer orders from inland areas. Through the construction of 66 industrial function zones and 14 industrial ecosystems, Wang Zhichao said, “Chengdu is expected to become an important fulcrum of the global supply chain in the historical opportunity period of the’double cycle’.” Regarding the development opportunities of the industrial chain in the western region in the future, Chang Yupeng suggested that we can learn from the successful experience of the “rail transportation industry chain”, apply the “Chengyu model”, attract the world’s top technology and talents, integrate the global industry chain and resources, and establish a joint venture company . Drive the optimization and upgrading of the industrial chain in the western region with a market-oriented model. Accelerate the digital transformation of supply chain enterprises Under the new pattern of “dual cycle”, opportunities must outweigh the challenges, but they will also face problems such as weak competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises. Chen Yuan pointed out that how to help small and medium-sized enterprises cope with difficulties is something that requires everyone to work together and consider. A local company in Chengdu, Jiwei Internet of Things, is an online platform that focuses on the digital transformation of service supply chain companies. “In the double cycle, what we have to do is how to help companies get through the supply chain. The core is to solve the connection between the company and the company. In the process of connecting, our job is to integrate the resources between the company and the company. The entire supply chain, including transportation, warehousing, processing, distribution, etc., is connected through online platforms to empower traditional enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, and help them grow together.” Chen Yuan said. As Huang Zhuo said, the construction of China’s supply chain is currently at a new stage, and the first challenge it faces is to improve the digital level of the supply chain. First of all, companies must have the awareness of digital transformation and upgrading, and on this basis, continuously improve their digital transformation and upgrading capabilities; secondly, from the government’s point of view, they must pay close attention to some bottlenecks in the supply chain, such as some In terms of the neck-stuck, the government needs to strengthen the construction of digital infrastructure and coordinate some resources to conduct concentrated research, including but not limited to the introduction and training of high-end talents. Wang Zhichao took Chengdu as an example. As early as 2017, the Chengdu Port Logistics Office established the Supply Chain Association. After that, the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government successively issued a series of precise support policies, such as investing 50 million yuan in support and Support the development of Chengdu supply chain projects. At the same time, under the initiative of the Logistics Office, the Chengdu Municipal Education Bureau and the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau also jointly established the Supply Chain Industry Steering Committee, with the goal of better achieving the integrated development of talents and industries. From the perspective of financial support for the new development pattern of “dual cycles”, Huang Zhuo also suggested that financial innovation should match the real economy, just as the supply chain needs digital transformation, and finance should also develop digital supply chain finance to realize the supply chain. The goods flow, capital flow and information flow are matched to provide better financing services for these supply chain enterprises. “Last year, the Central Bank issued a framework document for supply chain finance. The goal is to vigorously develop digital supply chain finance. This requires our financial institutions to continuously improve their digital capabilities and provide more effective financial services to the real economy.” Huang Zhuo In conclusion.

Video: Close-up of transparent and economical level 4 house The level 4 house in the picture was built in a new town at the northernmost tip of Minoh city (Osaka, Japan), which has a rich natural environment. The owner is a young couple who wants the house to be able to blend in with nature and minimize the boundary between the house and the surrounding environment. Based on the requirements of the owner, architect Yasuyuki Kitamura has created a transparent level 4 house. Allow light to reach every nook and cranny of the house. The roof in the middle of the house is covered with heat-resistant, transparent materials to get light for the house. The two horizontal sides of the house are designed entirely with transparent glass, eliminating the boundary between the house and the surrounding environment. In addition, homeowners also install thin white curtains to block sunlight and adjust visibility. The house uses many small wooden pillars to support the roof of the house. The interior of the house from the kitchen shelf to the decorative potted plants all use white as the main color. The reception and dining tables match the color of the wooden pillars in the house, creating a sense of color uniformity. Although the house is transparent, the bedroom and toilet of the house are still closed to ensure privacy; For these rooms, homeowners use sliding doors to ensure the orderliness of the house. In the house, decorated with many trees to create vitality and accents for the house, which takes the main white tone. After being posted by Archdaily, this model was quickly shared on housing forums and made many people “fever” because it was so unique and simple in design. Design drawings of the house

This is a brand that has just passed three years from the time the brand was renamed. In 2020, the sales volume will exceed 150,000. At present, the monthly sales of the brand have exceeded 10,000 for several consecutive months, mainly facing the 100,000-level economy market. The sales volume of the products that the professor test drives will exceed 100,000 in 2020. The space is large and the price is not expensive. The product strength can be said to be everything. Then in 2021, how can it make itself a step further? ――Changan Auchan X7 Geek Edition, a little more than “has everything”! Many people are no strangers to the Auchan X7. It has been on the market for more than a year and has become the absolute main sales force of the brand. Understanding this car is very simple: before the price of 100,000, all consumers want to be given. There are many such products on the domestic market, but “ I don’t have people, I’m panicked when people have it, everyone has it, and whoever has more is stronger. “This matter is actually very easy to replicate. How to make some new tricks? You can use a paragraph to finish the upgrade points of Auchan X7 Geek Edition: A camera is installed on the B-pillar outside the car, and this camera outside the car can be used to unlock the door of the car by swiping the face. After getting on the car, a camera is also arranged at the instrument position, where the camera can start the vehicle and let the vehicle drive normally. And some analysis and feedback on the driving state of the driver. With a budget of 120,000, should I buy Hideo or GS4? The gold medal technician gave a better choice! Do you think that’s the case? Isn’t it “keyless entry + one-key start”? The professor does not go to too much packaging, it is very simple: Since the target population is more concerned about cost performance, the principle of “one cent for three cents” must be established for economical products. The conventional “heap configuration” has been numb. You must not only have rich configuration, but also have characteristics. Achieve “people without me.” The emergence of Auchan X7 Geek Edition is not a simple addition, but to achieve this level 0 to 1 breakthrough . This car is essentially the annual facelift model of the Auchan X7, which is mainly a new face recognition camera derived from Hikvision technology. Hikvision is currently a domestic first-class video Internet of Things supplier. Let’s put it this way, this is a company that can be listed by a certain country, and its technical strength is self-evident. In terms of experience, the professor is consistent with the traditional method in unlocking the door and starting the ignition, and you will not feel a sense of delay. The human face slid across in front of the camera, all in one go. The security of this set of face recognition is still good. The professor himself tried it briefly, took a picture of himself and then tried to unlock the vehicle while holding the phone screen. In official propaganda, the security level of this system is at the same level as the current facial recognition mechanism in key areas in China. A little more technology, one more experience. This set of things appeared on a 100,000-level product, and it is still very distinctive. A big selling point of the Auchan X7 is its technological experience. In addition to the face recognition camera, there is also voice interconnection, Huawei Hicar mobile phone interconnection, live TV, full-vehicle driving recorder, online entertainment resources… The technology gameplay you can think of can appear on this car. The point is that the geek version has a landing price of just over 120,000. When buying this type of product, where you can see it is very important. Whether it is the overall soft package of the interior or the technological attributes of the configuration, coupled with its price positioning, it is difficult for many joint venture products to reach. I think it: aside from the fact that the car itself is deducted, many 100,000-level independent brands can be regarded as real “2021 products” in the experience of using them. If you care about this kind of “use of the car”, and at the same time have a limited budget and want better, then Auchan X7 Geek Edition can definitely meet your needs. Going back to the Auchan X7 itself, there are still many claims that this car will sell more than 100,000 in 2020. Deduct a few details: 1. Standard LED headlights for all series 2. There are not too many hard plastic materials in the cockpit, and BASF foam materials with a thickness of 8mm are mostly used, which has a good feel and feel. 3.2780mm wheelbase, the second-row knee space can reach 140mm, and the trunk space can reach up to 1880mm 4. Changan’s 1.5T Blue Whale power, independent front and rear suspension. 5. The door panel leather is covered with stitches to increase the texture, and the auxiliary instrument panel uses 21 screen printing processes Many, it really gives a lot. In the part that can be seen, the Auchan X7 is far beyond the level of its pricing. The professor is always saying: The experience of the first car in your life is the basic reference for the second car. If all economic products are made in this way in the future, it will put a lot of pressure on later upgraded products. Since the Auchan X7 is not a brand new product, the professor has also conducted a test drive before, so I won’t go into details on the part that can be seen. I mainly talk to you, what will it look like when it is opened? There is a saying, the best experience of this set of 1.5T+7DCT is in the sport mode. In this case, the speed is basically above 2000, and the throttle response of the entire car will become quite follow-up, which can minimize the dual-clutch gearbox. Some inherent shortcomings, of course, the price is relatively high fuel consumption. However, the Changan Auchan X7 has put a lot of effort into the NVH mute of the vehicle, and the ride quality in the car is still good when cruising. What surprises me the most when driving is its flexible subframe. This technology is very obscure to explain, but to put it bluntly, it adds a buffer layer between the body and the road. In this way, the vibration and noise transmitted from the road to the car can be well absorbed, and sitting in the car will be more quiet and comfortable. The overall independent suspension can filter small bumps on the road well daily, and it can also provide good performance during intense driving. Support. The overall comfort is adjusted, and the biggest feeling when the suspension is opened is still “soft”. For the overall dynamic evaluation of Auchan X7, what I want to say is: If what you need is a “good looking grocery shopping cart with a leisurely drive in the city, focus on the design price configuration. On the basis of a family car to talk about sports and handling, then the Auchan X7 overall is quite balanced. Look at Where it gets, it’s nothing bad to accept.” Regardless of the appearance and interior trim, power performance, standard configuration of the whole series or smart technology, the Ouchan X7 has become very competitive in the independent compact SUV market. Such a good-looking and fun model has more practical functions. The smart car machine is in line with the current general trend, and it will be enough to keep you “not behind” in the car use stage in the next few years. Wherever it can be seen, it does well enough. As for the others? A 100,000-level economical product, using technology, with assured quality; that’s enough!

After playing the full 90 minutes in the 0-0 draw against Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to be named in Portugal’s starting line-up in a friendly against Israel. He was side by side with Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva on the attack of the 4-3-3 formation. Ronaldo played energetically in 72 minutes on the field. He and his teammates created an overwhelming match against the away team. After a few missed opportunities, CR7 put his name on the scoreboard in the 44th minute. The 36-year-old striker received the ball from Bruno Fernandes before shooting decisively, leaving goalkeeper Ofir Marciano to his hand. This goal helped Portugal enter the break with a 2-goal lead. Ronaldo has 104 goals for Portugal. He is only 5 goals behind Ali Daei’s all-time record (109 goals for Iran). With the current state, the day CR7 surpasses the senior is not far away. When Ronaldo got his first goal for Portugal, full-back Nuno Mendes (number 25) was only 1 year old. Israel is the 42nd national team to be conceded by Ronaldo. The two teams that received many goals conceded by the superstar born in 1985 are Sweden and Lithuania (with 7 goals). Not only Ronaldo, but Bruno Fernandes is also a prominent player in the 4-0 win over Israel. The midfielder on the Man Utd payroll played for 90 minutes, contributing to the 3 goals of “Seleccao”. In the 42nd minute, Bruno cleared the deadlock for the home team with a precise one-touch finish from Joao Cancelo’s cross. Only 2 minutes later, the midfielder in 1994 continued to make a mark with a slot for Ronaldo to score. In injury time in the second half, the 26-year-old star closed the day with a sublime shot that defeated the entire defense of the visitors. Cancelo was also not to be outdone when he contributed a beautiful goal after an impromptu action from the right wing in the 86th minute. The main kick at the Euro 2020 finals is difficult to escape from the star who is wearing the Man City shirt. Portugal entered the Euro campaign with 6 consecutive unbeaten matches. On June 15, Ronaldo and his teammates will meet Hungary in the opening match of the “group of death”. Ronaldo warns teammates at Juventus In the latest press conference, Adrien Rabiot revealed Cristiano Ronaldo’s excitement before the confrontation between France and Portugal at Euro 2020.

The move comes after the attack on the US oil and gas shipping company Colonial Pipeline and the growing damage caused by cybercriminals. The US raised the level of investigation into the crime of extortion hackers to the level of ‘terrorists’. Photo: REUTERS In an internal guideline document sent to law offices across the United States on June 3, the US Department of Justice directed that investigations into ransomware should be coordinated with the central government, specifically: A new task force was established in Washington. “This will be a specialized process to ensure we can track all cases of extortion hackers regardless of where they happen in the US, so we can capture the connection between subjects and proceed to break the whole link,” said Deputy Attorney General John Carlin. Previously, in May, the largest US oil pipeline system, the Colonial Pipeline, was crippled by hackers. Colonial Pipeline has decided to pay hackers who have compromised their systems nearly $5 million to regain access. According to the Reuters , the DOJ’s guidance document specifically mentions the Colonial attack as an example of “the growing threat posed by cybercriminals and digital ransomware to the nation.” . “To ensure we can uncover connections between incidents and investigations across the country and globally, and to paint a big picture of national security and economic threats, The economy we face, we must strengthen and focus our internal monitoring,” the guidance document states. Reuters Citing US officials, the decision to include ransomware attacks in a special process by the Department of Justice shows that the issue is being prioritized. “We’ve used this model in the past for counterterrorism, but never with ransomware,” said Carlin, adding that the process typically applies to cases involving direct national security. In practice, this means that investigators at US attorneys’ offices dealing with ransomware cases will have to share both up-to-date case details and technical information with officials in Washington. The guidelines also require offices to review and report other investigations related to the large-scale cybercrime ecology. According to the guidelines, the list of investigations currently required to be reported to the central government includes: anti-virus services, illegal online forums or marketplaces, cryptocurrency exchanges, cybercriminal server services, botnets, and online money laundering services. “We would like to emphasize that prosecutors and criminal investigators need to report and conduct monitoring of cryptocurrency exchanges, illegal online forums or marketplaces for trading hacking tools. , as well as tracking botnets that serve a variety of purposes,” said Carlin. According to Mark Califano, a former US attorney and cybercrime expert, raising the level of investigation could allow the US Justice Department to “deploy resources more effectively” and “identify common exploits” variables” used by cybercriminals.

Not only 4 levels 4 India is a country of diversity in all aspects: culture, religion, race, language… Hinduism is the largest religion in India (currently 966 million followers) and is the The world’s third largest religion (1.03 billion adherents) played a key role in shaping India’s social fabric. From this religion arose the caste system in Indian society, and it dominates, has a profound, lasting impact with many consequences in society to this day. Dharavi slum in Mumbai. Dharavi is one of the most densely populated places in the world. The blue roofs are actually plastic cloth to keep out the rain. Photo: Daily Mail The structure of Indian society according to writer and cultural researcher Geetesh Sharma is “a collection of irregular elements, but strangely, it is arranged into a clear layer system”. Looking from the outside in, the overlapping Indian society is caste, class, religion, language, region… But if the caste system is positioned as the backbone of the whole Indian social structure, all things will become orderly and clear. This system was formed thousands of years ago, and to this day, it remains the root cause of social unrest. Most Indian and Western scholars agree that the caste system is a feature of Hinduism. However, along with the birth and introduction of other religions, the caste system also had a certain influence on Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Jainism. The English word caste is caste, which is not a single Indian word. According to the Oxford dictionary, caste is derived from the Portuguese word casta, meaning “race, lineage, breed” and primitive meaning “pure and unadulterated”. There is no concept in the Indian language that fully represents the word, but only two approximate terms, varna and jati. Varna means color, and was the first framework of social demarcation in the Vedic period. The four castes in the varna are the Brahmins (the priestly caste, also known as the Brahmin castes), the Kshatriyas (also known as the Rajanyas, the castes of noble princes and warriors), the Vaishyas (the craftsmen) , merchants, farmers) and Shudras (class of slaves, people who did the hard work). However, there is still a fifth caste in the varna system that is not officially recognized in the scriptures, the Dalit (untouchable) caste. People of this caste are considered “outside of society” and have to do jobs that are considered despicable such as dumping feces, picking up trash, etc. Whereas, jati means birth, origin. This concept is less mentioned in the scriptures than in varna. There are thousands of jati, and currently there is no exact definition for this concept. Where is the origin? From the West’s pro-racist theory… There are many explanations from anthropologists, archaeologists and both Indian and world historians as to the origin of this particular caste system over the past century. However, it is possible to temporarily group the hypotheses of Indian caste origin into three large theoretical groups: racial theory, contingency theory, and genetic proofs. Race theory started from a debate between two British researchers and managers in India JC Nesfield and HH Risley. According to Risley, the caste system was formed from racial clash. He suggested that the “light-skinned” Aryans had entered the Indian subcontinent from the northwest and conquered the native “black” Dravidian race. Risley’s explanation is that the Aryans, after conquest, conquered the weaker race, captured women according to their needs and created hybrid offspring, thereby becoming a higher caste. Meanwhile, Nesfield commented that “the issue of caste origin is not only about race, but also about culture”. The racial theory of caste formation encouraged racist ideas, which were originally developed to enhance the status of Europeans in the subcontinent. A family in the slums of Mumbai on April 3. Photo: AP To the objection of the Indian scholar himself học Indian scholars have countered Risley’s racial theory. Researcher Ketkar argues that castes are more a result of tribal conflicts than between Aryans and Dravidians. Ketkar’s view was that all Indians, with limited exceptions from the east, belonged to a single race, and expressed concern that racial theories could cause division in society. The reactions of the Indian scientific community led to the creation of the so-called random theory. In this view, caste regimes are the product of specific historical events, which may be limited to a particular time and place. This theory has an important contribution Dr. Ambedkar (who comes from the Dalit caste, and also drafted the Constitution of India). Ambedkar rejected the racial theory and attacked those who had “used biology to protect the caste system”. He emphasized on Nesfield’s research with the conclusion that there is no racial difference between different castes in the same area, and at the same time concluded that “the caste system is the distinction in society between different castes”. people of the same race”. End of the hundred year debate In the mid-1990s, scientists began to use genetics as a tool to examine the origin of caste systems as well as the extent to which castes were related. Since then, a series of genetic studies on the caste system have been produced. The first genetic studies reached conclusions consistent with the randomization theory. Accordingly, there is no corresponding relationship between genetic relationships and socio-cultural structure. Subsequent studies, however, yielded very mixed results, with some supporting the race theory. To date, studies using genetics to understand the origin of the caste system continue to be carried out. Liberate class, liberate people Although the debate has not yet led to a final result, it has at least contributed much differently, from the rejection of the “divine” about the origin of the castes, when the Rig-Veda (Vedas) that castes were born from different parts of the primitive man, in which the upper caste was born from the upper body, and the lowest caste was born from the heart. This is extremely important, because it will lead to the destruction of the concept of “class is inherently natural, is immutable”. This was the premise to liberate the lower castes from the strict caste system, and was an important step towards human liberation. Medical staff check people’s health in a slum in Mumbai. Photo: Guardian Second, studies have shown that caste originates from socio-political factors rather than from religion. And without exception, the caste system is a tool created by rulers to establish a stable, orderly and favorable social structure for them to easily rule. The current caste system is a huge barrier affecting India’s development. Recent surveys show that caste discrimination still shows no signs of abating, but on the contrary, tends to be more serious. The 2014 census shows that the percentage of people from the lower castes, especially those belonging to the Dalit caste, are facing severe discrimination with the lowest percentage in the following criteria: access to education, health care, employment… Social injustices related to the lower castes persist, whether in urban or rural areas, demonstrating the tension in modern Indian society. Although the Indian government has constitutionally prohibited the practice of any discrimination against the lower castes, the fact that there are separate laws on “reservation” for the lower castes shows that The situation is not optimistic. Specifically, India has compiled a list of vulnerable castes, and calls it “Nominal Castes”. Accordingly, all state agencies (including the National Assembly), universities, military, police… must reserve a certain percentage of their “seats” for these identified classes. This, while having a positive effect on the lower castes, clearly demonstrates India’s inability to prevent discriminatory practices.

55ZH6M Nebo-M radar station of the Russian military. Photo: Russian Ministry of Defense Yan Noviko, General Director of Almaz-Antey, said at a forum on new technology in Moscow on May 23: “The Nebo-M radar system is the ‘killer’ of stealth technology. Radar can detect F-22, F-35 relatively easily. Mr. Niviko also said that Almaz-Antey is capable of producing about 30 types of mobile multi-purpose radar, thanks to proper investment in research projects as well as new technology. 55ZH6M Nebo-M is the latest Russian radar, designed and manufactured by the Nizhny Novgorod Radio Engineering Research Institute (NNIIRT) of Almaz-Antey. Along with the Container radar, the Nebo-M surveillance station is considered the backbone of the battlefield radar network on Russia’s land borders. So far, 55ZH6M Nebo-M has been deployed in all the most important directions in Russia. The first Nebo-M complex was delivered to the Western Military District in 2017, followed by combat units stationed in Transbaikalia, Khabarovsk and Primorye. A year later, this advanced radar network was deployed in an air defense unit based in Crimea. The portable Nebo-M system can be rapidly redeployed to other locations by land or air. The new Nebo-M series is capable of detecting aircraft and ballistic missiles at a distance of up to 1,000 km, a big step up from the early Nebo radar systems developed under the Soviet Union. This radar station operates on the principle of active electronic scanning, making the 55ZH6M Nebo-M capable of resisting enemy jamming. When specifically installed to track targets at medium altitudes, Nebo-M radios are sometimes equipped with low-altitude radar systems like the Podlet-E. Is it really something to worry about with US stealth fighters? TASS news agency (Russia) quoted Noviko as saying that stealth technology does not cause difficulties for Russia’s new radar complexes. In theory, this is true, because VHF high-frequency radars like the 55ZH6M Nebo-M can identify an F-35 or F-22 in flight. American stealth fighter F-35. Photo: Reuters American experts say that there are many things to confirm in the Russian statement. Identifying a new target is the first step and part of the process of catching and killing the target with many stages. After locating the target, for example the F-35, the requirement for the radar station is to fix the target, track, and “catch” successfully before transferring the parameters to the unit tasked with destroying the target. target. According to General Dan Flattley, a former F-35 pilot of the US Air Force, in order to destroy the F-35, Russia must build a chain of target destruction. This task is usually performed by Russian anti-aircraft missiles, such as the Russian S-400 defense system. Until now, whether the S-400 is capable of destroying the F-35 or F-22 stealth fighters is still a subject of debate. Technically, it is clear that the 55ZH6M Nebo-M watchdog can identify the US 5th generation fighter. But that’s only part of the battle sequence. Locating is one thing, but whether Russian air defense systems can destroy the F-35 and F-22 is another story, because many factors are involved. If “detect” but not have the ability to “precise attack”, the radar’s performance does not make much sense. US stealth technology only needs to overcome the “destroy” limit of Russian missiles to be considered successful.

First, US President Biden announced $20 billion in funding to modernize the energy system and address digital security breaches. Other international and regional companies around the world also come up with their own strategies to mitigate this threat. Saudi Arabia’s oil giant Aramco, Siemens Energy and the World Economic Forum (WEF) have announced they will be releasing a joint report on cyber resilience in the oil and gas industry. The report will establish a blueprint for assessing how best to manage the various risks and threats associated with cyberattacks. The report brings together the experiences of 40 energy experts, who will provide their experience and expertise to outline some of the key cyber threats facing the industry and how best to mitigate those. this threat to improve energy security worldwide. The report comes after years of the oil and gas industry suffering from digital security breaches not only in the United States, which saw the Colonial Pipeline attack this month and a hack in February 2020 for a compressed air facility that caused a two-day power outage. Other oil and gas facilities around the world have also suffered similar losses. In 2012, Saudi Arabia experienced a cyber attack that resulted in more than 30,000 computers being hacked. In addition to this report, Siemens also announced a partnership with US software company ServiceNow to establish a unified software to monitor, detect, and respond to cyberthreats targeting power infrastructure. important amount. Siemens Energy’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based software combined with ServiceNow’s Operations Technology Management system exposes cyber threats for analysts to assess and prioritize early response. Leo Simonovich, Vice President and Global Head of Industrial Networks at Siemens Energy said of the report: “Digitalization is empowering the oil and gas sector to be more efficient, flexible and reliable – but it also opens up many new vulnerabilities for cyberattacks. More than ever, cybersecurity must be at the core of companies’ business and operating models, especially in the oil and gas industry. Effective defenses depend on robust monitoring and detection – which means companies cannot act alone. Coordination and alignment are very important; This latest book, based on insights from leaders in the oil and gas sector, reflects these efforts. ” “Most energy companies grapple with complex technological and economic challenges associated with monitoring, detecting, and preventing cyberattacks on critical infrastructure,” emphasized Leo Simonovich. important. Our MDR, powered by the Eos.ii solution, is the first AI-based platform built to provide visibility and context across the energy industry’s entire digital operating environment. to promptly prevent attacks”. This is one of the ways the oil and gas industry is using AI and other innovative technologies to improve security and monitoring and evaluation operations across multiple sectors. As the United States ramps up its game in cybersecurity, the rest of the world has taken note of this recent attack and is responding at the international level to ensure that energy security is not compromised. development is synchronized with the digitization of the energy system. Establishing and regulating cybersecurity practices across the industry enhances the collective recovery efforts of oil and gas companies, presenting a united front against cybercrime and security threats other importance.

That means if the autonomous feature is needed, car owners can activate it and pay for it. Currently, any car connected to the internet can receive software updates, similar to electronic devices like smartphones. Even with just one software upgrade, the range of an electric vehicle can be dramatically increased. Existing platforms make Volkswagen’s head of sales and marketing Klaus Zellmer think the group can exploit that way of working to give customers more freedom in the use of their vehicles. Instead of letting customers choose the equipment, Volkswagen will assemble the car with everything but disable them with software. When there is a need to use it, customers spend more money to rent that feature under a monthly or yearly subscription package. To visualize, Zellmer used the example of Level 4 autonomous mode expected on VW vehicles in the future. As soon as this almost the highest self-driving feature is officially adopted and widely used, many people probably still do not believe it and do not use it. So they won’t have to spend money. As for car owners in need, Zellmer shared that they may need to pay about 7 euros, about $ 8.5, per hour to be able to use the level 4 autonomous feature.

VNA upgraded the level of epidemic prevention and enhanced passenger support. (Photo: provided by VNA) From May 11, Vietnam Airlines (VNA) will raise the standard of epidemic prevention and control to level 2 on a 4-level scale for all domestic flights; increase resources to support passengers in case the operation plan is changed due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Tourists to Maldives. (Source: PSM News) Located in the northern part of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives has always been a popular destination and a major attraction for travelers looking for a quality vacation and leisure time. The Maldives is heavily dependent on the tourism industry as it is the main source of foreign currency earnings contributing to the national economy. However, the Covid-19 pandemic occurring around the world, resulting in travel restrictions, has had a significant impact, even a recession, on the country’s economy. On January 30, 2020, the Maldives recorded its first suspected case of corona virus. From the end of March to July 2020, this country was forced to close its borders to tourists, bringing the economy to a standstill. After stopping international flights for more than three months since the start of the pandemic, on July 15, 2020, the Maldives reopened its borders, being one of the first major global tourist destinations to open. back door for foreign visitors. The Maldives Ministry of Tourism has issued the Covid-19 Safe Travel Guide along with a certification program that ensures the safety and hygiene standards of all tourist facilities including accommodation, transportation, airport and other related facilities. Accordingly, the Maldives introduces a program called “Vaccination Tourism” that allows visitors to the country to travel without having to wait until the vaccine trial is completed. The Maldives also offers a distinctive ‘one-island-one-resort’ concept, allowing visitors to maintain social distancing while enjoying a truly safe and secluded stay. As a result, last year, the island nation welcomed 555,000 tourists to visit the Maldives and welcomed more than 400,000 tourists since the beginning of January this year. The Covid-19 vaccine program in the Maldives was started on March 1, with 200,000 doses of the Oxford-Astrazeneca “Covishield” vaccine funded by the Indian government. To date, Maldives has also received 12,000 doses of Covishield vaccine through COVAX and 10,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine from China. With 36% of residents fully vaccinated, the Maldives is currently the fifth most immunized country. With an adequate supply of vaccines, the Maldives is also preparing to launch a “vaccine on arrival” program as soon as all of its population has been vaccinated. However, the nation of islands with a population of 340,000, is currently struggling with an increase in the number of Covid-19 infections, the number of infections increased to a record in a day of 1,500 cases on May 6 compared to May 6. with less than 100 cases just a month ago. White sand resorts and beaches, have been reported to be home to the fastest Covid-19 outbreaks in the world. The average number of new infections recorded in the Maldives every day has reached a new high. To date, there have been 87 deaths related to Covid-19 in the Maldives, including 74 locals, 11 foreign nationals. The Maldives government is forced to take strict measures to contain the current situation. As part of its efforts, the Maldives government has decided to suspend the issuance of tourist visas to visitors originating from South Asian countries, effective from May 13. The ban will also apply to travelers who stay more than 24 hours, have transited or have been to the listed countries within the previous 14 days. Restaurants and cafes are only allowed to open for delivery and takeout, and indoor dining is prohibited. From May 12, a partial curfew was in place in the capital Malé from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., for a week. Some other restrictions include moving government agencies’ activities to an online service, banning group prayer at mosques, and suspending students at universities from going to school.

Benefiting from multiple mergers and acquisitions business expansion and scale improvement, Country Garden’s performance continued to rise, but the company’s revenue growth rate fell for the first time in three years, and the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company declined for two consecutive years. In addition, subject to the integration of mergers and acquisitions, the company’s urban service business gross profit margin has also declined.

Since the company went public in 2018, Country Garden Services’ stock price has risen more than 8 times. As of April 22, the company’s total market value reached 231.38 billion Hong Kong dollars, surpassing the parent company Country Garden. As a “first listed property company”, behind the frequent acquisitions of Country Garden Services, it is not difficult to see that scale is still the core demand for the development of property companies at this stage, and the property management industry may enter the peak of mergers and acquisitions in the future.

Although mergers and acquisitions are an effective way to accelerate expansion, this kind of performance growth brought about by acquisitions cannot be replicated. Under the sustained rapid growth in recent years, for Country Garden’s services, which have formed a relatively high base in various indicators, how to maintain “quality” while pursuing “quantity” is a bigger problem.

It is worth noting that the major shareholder of Country Garden Services JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the company’s president Li Changjiang have successively reduced their holdings of Country Garden Services stocks since 2021, and the two have reduced their holdings by more than 10 million shares in total.

Scale expansion, performance growth, revenue and profit growth slowdown

During the reporting period, in addition to the “three supply and one industry” business, Country Garden’s service property contract management area reached 821 million square meters, an increase of 136 million square meters from the end of 2019; the property charge management area reached 377 million square meters, which was newer than the end of 2019 An increase of 101 million square meters. As of December 31, 2020, the company managed a total of 3277 properties, a year-on-year increase of 36.26%.

Benefited from the expansion of the scale of property management, the company’s performance continued to rise, but the growth rate has slowed down. The annual report shows that the company’s operating income in 2020 was 15.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 61.75%; the net profit attributable to the parent was 2.686 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 60.78%. Among them, the company’s revenue growth rate fell for the first time in three years, and the revenue growth rate fell by about 40% year-on-year; the net profit growth rate attributable to the parent fell by about 20% year-on-year, which has been declining for two consecutive years.

The proportion of revenue from basic property management services declines and focuses on businesses outside the concept of traditional real estate

From the perspective of changes in the revenue structure in the past three years, property management services are the main source of income for Country Garden services. In the past three years, the proportion of revenue from this business has exceeded 50%, but the proportion has been declining year by year, from 73.7% in 2018 to 55.17% in 2020.

Among them, income from properties developed by Country Garden Group accounted for approximately 72% of total property management service income, and income from properties developed by independent third-party developers accounted for 28% of total property management service income, an increase of 3.7% from the same period last year and compared with 2018 An increase of 16.6%. In the company’s total new contract area, brand expansion accounted for 53.3%, while the area from the Country Garden system accounted for 35.1%. The company’s dependence on the parent company’s residential incremental market has decreased.

In addition, Country Garden Services has developed many businesses beyond the traditional concept of real estate, including commercial asset operations, urban services, community group purchases, community media, house leasing, insurance brokerage, etc.

The annual report shows that the company’s urban service business has increased significantly. The company’s urban service business revenue increased from 68 million yuan in 2019 to 884 million yuan in 2020, with a revenue share of 5.67% (approximately 0.71% in the same period in 2019), an increase of 1192.5%, mainly due to business growth brought about by acquisitions To.

In 2020, the company’s community value-added service revenue will be 1.731 billion yuan, and the total revenue will account for 11.1%. The amount of revenue will increase by 100.10% year-on-year, becoming the company’s second largest revenue growth point. Among them, the company’s value-added service innovation business revenue increased by 268.6% year-on-year, and community media service revenue increased by 273.6% year-on-year.

It is worth noting that the company’s revenue from non-owner value-added services has declined. Revenue from this business dropped from 1.422 billion yuan in 2019 to 1.370 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year decline of about 3.7%. The company stated that it was mainly due to the change in the consulting service business model in this service.

Mergers and acquisitions “double-edged sword”: urban service gross margin declines due to accelerated expansion, adding more than 3 billion goodwill

In response to high-performance plans and high-growth demands, Country Garden Services has made multiple mergers and acquisitions in the past year, with the intention of increasing scale and expanding its business.

According to data, in September 2020, the company acquired 65% of the equity of City Zongheng (Shanghai) Culture Media Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “City Zongheng”) to increase its community media service business. In October of the same year, the company acquired 70% of the equity of Country Garden Manguo Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Manguo”) and 60% of Fujian Dongfei Environmental Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dongfei”), a leading company in the sanitation industry. Equity. In addition, the company also acquired Wenjin International Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Wenjin Insurance Brokers”) and several other property management companies.

Since 2021, Country Garden’s service has continued to increase its size on the material enterprise track. On April 13, Country Garden Services announced the acquisition of four commercial management subsidiaries of Country Garden Holdings for 20 million yuan. On April 19, the company spent over 4 billion yuan to complete the acquisition of 71.17% shares of Blu-ray Garbo Services.

It is worth noting that although mergers and acquisitions are an effective way to accelerate expansion, this kind of performance growth brought about by acquisitions cannot be replicated. In addition, subject to third-party acquisitions and acquisitions of the target asset quality, the future profitability of property companies will also be affected. Data shows that with the company’s overall gross profit margin growth, the company’s gross margins in community value-added services, “three supplies and one industry” business, and urban service segments all declined. Among them, due to the low gross profit margin of the Manchuria and Dongfei businesses acquired during the year, the gross profit margin of the company’s urban service segment decreased from 38.7% in 2019 to 32.5%.

In addition, due to multiple acquisitions of Country Garden Services in 2020, the company’s new intangible assets will reach 4.672 billion yuan, including 3.145 billion yuan in new goodwill. If the performance of the acquired target in the later period is not as good as expected, Country Garden Services will have a certain risk of goodwill impairment.

Increase in income tax rate affects profits, important shareholders successively reduce their holdings

In 2020, the income tax rate of Country Garden’s main subsidiary of Country Garden Services will be changed from the preferential tax rate of 15% in the same period of the previous year to 25%. Corporate income tax expenses rose from 358 million yuan in 2019 to 933 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of approximately 160.84%. If the 25% income tax rate continues in the future, the profitability index of Country Garden Services will also be under pressure as the scale grows.

In addition, WIND data shows that since the beginning of this year, all shareholders have reduced their holdings of 11.508 million shares of the company. Among them, President Li Changjiang reduced his holdings of 240,000 shares on April 1, with an average price of about 80 Hong Kong dollars per share; the third largest shareholder JPMorgan Chase & Co. successively reduced their holdings of 11.2608 million shares. In the past year, Li Changjiang has reduced his holdings of 2.12 million shares, and has cashed out approximately HK$87,277,400.

The actions of leading companies are the vane of industry development. From the annual report of Country Garden Services, it can be seen that the current mergers, acquisitions, outsourcing and multi-format simultaneous development are still the new trends of the current property management industry, and the industry may enter the era of great integration in the future.

“This tuning is better for the current, unpredictable and ever-evolving threat of Covid-19. We continue to recommend that US citizens reconsider traveling abroad and postpone trips if possible, ”the ministry wrote in an email. In a media statement, the agency said the change does not “imply an assessment of the current health situation in a particular country”, but rather an advice for US citizens, in addition to information from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The agency warned: “Passengers who are fully vaccinated are less likely to become infected and spread Covid-19.
