Dream job astronaut More than 22,000 applications for space

Status: 23.06.2021 3:43 p.m.

Once into space – many have the dream. More than 22,000 people want to become astronauts and have applied to the European space agency ESA. However, this dream will only come true for six candidates. More than 22,000 people want a job in space: That’s how many applications the European Space Agency ESA received for astronaut training, the ESA announced. Among them are 3700 applicants from Germany. By the deadline last Friday, 5,400 women applied, which is a share of 24 percent – nine percentage points more than in the last call in 2008.

A “tough competition” for the dream job

The number of applicants also increased overall: in 2008 around 8,400 people were interested in training at ESA, less than half as many as now. The space agency now wants to select four to six candidates for astronaut training from the pool by October 2022 – but also a “reserve” of up to 20 people. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher spoke of tough competition. “It is a dream job to be an astronaut.”

The selection process has six stages – the skills of the candidates are examined with, among other things, tests in the cognitive and technical areas. Applicants must have at least a master’s degree in natural sciences, engineering, mathematics or computer science. There are requirements for height, the age limit is 50 years. The new space crew should not be known until the end of next year.

For the first time also “para-astronauts”

For the first time, the space agency also wants to train so-called para-astronauts – those with physical impairments such as short stature or a handicap of the legs. More than 200 applications were received for this.

The role model for many is the German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who became known as “Astro-Alex”. He spent around half a year on the International Space Station ISS in 2014 and 2018. On his second mission, he was the first German to take command of the space station

According to Zhang Bo, President of the Second Criminal Tribunal of the Chongqing Higher People’s Court, while punishing telecommunications and network fraud crimes in accordance with the law, the Chongqing court also paid attention to source governance and end-of-line attacks, and carried out a full-scale attack on upstream and downstream related crimes, and resolutely cut them off. And destroy the industrial chain of illegal and criminal activities in the telecommunication network Since the beginning of this year, Chongqing courts have accepted 390 cases of telecommunications network fraud and related criminal cases with 1,704 people, and concluded 203 cases with 900 people.

“The city’s courts adhere to the criminal trial policy and philosophy of’emphasize the more important, despise the lesser’, and adhere to the main theme of strict law and strictness in criminal cases of telecommunications network fraud.” Zhang Bo said that for organizing and leading telecommunications network fraud criminal groups Principals, organizers and leaders of telecommunications network fraud criminal groups, and active participants who play a major role in joint crimes shall be severely sentenced in accordance with the law, and severe punishments shall be resolutely sentenced in accordance with the law if the crime is serious. Since the beginning of this year, the city’s courts have sentenced 80 telecommunications network fraud criminals to more than five years but less than 10 years in prison, and 89 telecommunications network fraud criminals have been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison. The severe sentence rate is 9.89%, which is higher than the overall level of criminal cases. About 2.3 percentage points higher.

Industry Day Showing the Chancellor candidate

Status: 06/22/2021 6:12 p.m.

How can the climate change succeed and Germany be preserved as an industrial location? The Chancellor candidates gave outlooks at the Industry Day. In the end there was nothing more than friendly applause.

From Eva Ellermann, ARD capital studio

German industry is worried: climate neutrality by 2045 – how should Germany, a country of industry, export and innovation, achieve that?

The head of the Federal Association of German Industry (BDI), Siegfried Russwurm, fears that new climate protection goals and specifications will overwhelm the industry: “Just to raise the bar, although athletes and coaches don’t yet know how to cope with the lower ones – that is not a successful training strategy. And to do that as a trainer, and certainly not to talk to the athlete about it beforehand. ”

Merkel’s last day of industry

Chancellor Angela Merkel does not find it difficult to commit to Germany as an industrial location, but she warns that self-evident things have to be worked out over and over again.

It is her last appearance at an Industry Day and she uses it to make demands on the hosts on the way to climate neutrality: “We urgently need – we should work with the BDI – a forecast for electricity demand in 2030. The Assumptions that the electricity price will not increase are probably not sustainable. Then we need a plan that requires more line construction than we have planned today, “said Merkel.

SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz shares the Chancellor’s diagnosis and uses it to attack Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier. He assumes constant electricity consumption until 2030 – Scholz adds: “Let me say it loud and clear: the electricity lie.”

Scholz presents himself as a doer. He promises the industry that electricity will remain affordable for them. “That is why we will abolish the EEG surcharge by 2025 and reorganize the taxes and surcharges in the energy sector,” said Scholz. “My goal is an industrial electricity price of four cents.”

Laschet: no tax increases

Competitor Armin Laschet is not that specific. The Union chancellor candidate shows understanding for the concerns of the industry. “My idea is that in 20 years’ time we will still have a steel industry, still have a chemical industry, another automotive industry – then climate-neutral,” says Laschet. “But if you do not formulate this goal at the beginning, but just keep increasing guidelines and limit values, issuing bans, you will in the end gamble away the status of the industrialized country.”

The “Corona Method” with regulations down to the smallest detail does not fit the future. Laschet promises: less maneuvering and no tax increases.

There is no getting around climate neutrality, emphasized Annalena Baerbock. Image: dpa

Of course, Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock knows that this is her address too, but she emphasizes that there is no getting around the goal of climate neutrality: “Whether you like it or not – the competition is about who will be the markets of the future first achieved climate-neutral, in the future it will also have the edge in terms of economy and thus socio-political. ” The course must now be set for a social and climate-friendly market economy, said Baerbock. All three candidates for Chancellor appear a bit nervous at their show in front of the most important German business association. At the end of the day there is friendly applause for everyone, but no more at the German Industry Day

Negative interest on credit When it suddenly costs you to save

As of: 06/18/2021 8:58 a.m.

Up to now, banks have mainly charged new customers with negative interest rates. It also affects existing customers more and more frequently. Consumer advocates advise to be clear about what you want to do with the money.

From Iris Völlnagel, SWR

Anger and complaints from consumers are part of everyday life for Josephine Holzhäuser, financial expert at the consumer center in Rhineland-Palatinate. But since the beginning of the year, more and more consumers have come to her who have left their financial institutions “betrayed and sold” feel. The reason: More and more banks and savings banks are introducing negative interest rates on current and savings accounts.

More than 345 institutes collect negative interest

Many older people, but also younger ones, now sought advice from consumer advocates. Most of them have been customers for years, have taken out their mortgage lending or insurances with the banks, and now they are being threatened with termination if they are not willing to pay negative interest, says Holzhäuser. “From my point of view, this is a clumsy business practice.” People feel compelled and pressured. Many older people are overwhelmed – especially those who are not so fit online. Since the beginning of the year, more than 170 banks and savings banks in Germany have introduced negative interest rates. This is the result of a study on the www.biallo.de Internet portal. Every third bank only grants an allowance of 25,000 euros. The consumer portal Verivox also regularly researches and publishes the product overviews and price lists of around 1,300 credit institutions that are accessible online. As a result, more than 345 banks have now introduced negative interest rates for private customers. 19 banks charge fees for the call money account, which is usually free of charge. This also creates a de facto negative interest rate. In addition, there are the banks that do not publish any information, according to Verivox. Most recently, Postbank announced that it would lower the exemption limits for savings deposits on June 21 and one for new customers “Custody fee” from 50,000 euros on the current account and 25,000 euros on the daily allowance account. Contributions above this limit are charged with 0.5 percent. So far, the tax exemption has been 100,000 euros.

Banks point their fingers at the ECB

As a reason for that “Custody fee” the financial institutions repeatedly claim that they themselves pay negative interest rates to the European Central Bank (ECB). In 2014 it began to charge penalty interest on money that the commercial banks park in their central bank accounts. However, the banks are now granted exemptions. Critics therefore complain that the financial houses are doing business with negative interest rates.

This practice will not change in the foreseeable future, fears consumer advocate Holzhäuser. “If one bank does it, the others follow suit. If the pace continues, one no longer looks to see which bank has no negative interest, but from which tax exemption”, so wooden houses. David Bode from the legal enforcement team of the Federal Association of Consumer Organizations knows whether the introduction of negative interest is generally permissible. The association has filed suits at different courts in several federal states. It concerns both current and overnight money accounts. How long the litigation will take is difficult to estimate, according to Bode. There could possibly be first judgments in the current calendar year. In the end, the Federal Court of Justice may have to decide.

Consumers in a bind

A basic distinction should be made between existing and new customers. The latter advises the financial expert Holzhäuser to look at the small print before signing the contract. In the meantime, it is noted in the general terms and conditions whether negative interest is charged above a certain amount.

This is different with existing customers, where changes require an individual agreement. In the past year, the banks would have allowed existing customers to talk to them. In the meantime, the banks are going to terminate their business relationships. “That has another dimension”, so the consumer advocate. “As a customer, I then have to decide whether to sign or not.” In the meantime, however, she advises signing more and more often, according to Holzhäuser. “If people want to stay with the bank, they have to bite the bullet and watch the further case law.” If you don’t want to sign, you shouldn’t wait for the bank to give notice of termination, advises the consumer advocate. “We cannot yet assess how such a termination will affect Schufa, for example.” Alternatively, consumers could look for a new bank. As a rule, you have some time because the bank contacts its customers one to two months in advance.

Shift money, check investments

Many banks charged negative interest for amounts in excess of 100,000 euros. This corresponds to the amount of the deposit protection; that is, the amount for which the bank guarantees in the event of a total failure. If you have more in your account, you should distribute your money between several accounts at different institutions, according to the advice of the financial expert.

After all, everyone should check why they have so much money in their account at all, according to the consumer advocate. The following also applies: do not accept every offer without review. “In case of doubt, it is better to go with negative interest than to invest the money headlong.” A unit-linked annuity insurance with a term of twelve years is not an adequate offer for people over 70, according to Holzhäuser. You can also deposit the money in a locker or safe at any time. Just leaving it at home is the worst option because of the risk of theft, according to the financial expert

That is to say, only when the Gree station is “high enough”, will there be this good news. Moreover, although this shareholding plan stipulates that employees can subscribe for Gree Electric’s shares at a 50% discount, Gree’s The employee stock ownership plan also sets a strict performance appraisal period. The evaluation indicators of the employee stock ownership plan are divided into company performance evaluation indicators and individual performance evaluation indicators. Among them, the company’s performance evaluation indicators are as follows: The lock-in period of the employee plan is 12 months, and the company’s performance evaluation indicators are based on 2020 as a reference benchmark. Among them, the company’s performance appraisal indicators are: the net profit of 2021 is compared with that of 2020 Increase not less than 10% , And the current year’s cash dividend per share shall not be less than 2 yuan or the total cash dividend shall not be less than 50% of the current year’s net profit; the net profit in 2022 will increase by not less than 20% compared to 2020, and the current year’s cash dividend per share shall not be less than 2 The total amount of RMB or cash dividends shall not be less than 50% of the net profit for the year. Gree Electric stated that the first assessment vesting period expires, and if the company’s performance assessment indicators do not meet the standard, the combined assessment will be deferred to the second assessment vesting period. If after the expiration of the second assessment vesting period, the company’s performance assessment fails to meet the standards, the management committee will make a decision to dispose of it, including cancellation or sale of stocks at an opportunity, etc., and the original capital contribution paid by the corresponding holder will be returned to the limit , The remaining income (if any) is returned to the company. That is, if the company’s performance evaluation indicators are not completed, everyone will not be able to enjoy the rights; if the company’s performance evaluation indicators are met, and the individual performance evaluation does not meet the standards, the individual will not be able to enjoy the rights. In addition, this provision is also mentioned in the employee stock ownership plan: Based on the needs of employees to increase stock appreciation gains and participate in corporate governance through centralized management, the holders of this employee stock ownership plan promise and authorize that they will directly hold the stock rights of this employee stock ownership plan before retiring from the company to their personal securities accounts. For some stocks, the union shall exercise the voting rights according to the will of the union (excluding the voting rights of the shares held by directors, supervisors, and senior managers). Without the prior written confirmation of the union, the union shall not sell or set a pledge on its own, otherwise the union has the right to withdraw it. The corresponding share income, related income is managed by a special account set up by the trade union and enjoyed by other holders, and the specific distribution method is democratically determined by the holders. To put it simply, Gree stated that this employee plan requires the holder’s commitment and authorization, and it is not possible to withdraw at will. The company enjoys the right to dividends before retirement, and the ban on sales can be lifted after retirement. As a result, it also largely restricts the behavior of employees selling stocks at will. It seems that in the face of this seemingly good employee stock ownership plan, Gree has many barriers to get it. Having said that, Gree’s “boots are on the ground” when it allocates employee housing some time ago to be delivered soon, but this time reading the content of Gree’s latest announcement, it is not difficult to see a big change in attitude. What’s more noteworthy is that Gree’s share price has fallen by four percentage points as of 11 am today. Gree’s market trend today clearly shows The capital market’s opposition to employee stock ownership plans. Finally, I would like to mention that this time the employee stock ownership plan, Dong Mingzhu made a floating profit of 800 million, Who is the big winner in the end? People may have thought of it…

On June 6th, some media reported that when a supermarket in Chengdu opened, the eligibility to purchase Moutai could be drawn after purchasing a certain amount. One person bought a lottery ticket and bought nearly 7 tons of rice, and got the qualification to buy 9 bottles of Moutai. However, he went to the supermarket to fetch the rice, but the supermarket denied it, saying that the man had taken the rice away!

“Their monitoring has also been adjusted. It hasn’t given me the result yet, so I have been procrastinating.”

Not eligible to buy Moutai

010-June 3, 2010 is the opening day of a chain supermarket in Chengdu Wanda Plaza. In order to promote customer consumption, opening activities are in full swing. Mr. Tao said that he bought 268 bags of pearl rice in the supermarket at a price of 100 yuan, and the total consumption was 26,800 yuan. Each bag weighs 50 kg, with a total weight of 6.7 tons. It is too heavy to be taken away on the spot. After checking out, he left the supermarket and was about to find a truck to take Mira.

“I didn’t take it when I checked out, but the store said I took rice.” Mr. Tao said.

Mr. Tao said that when he was looking for a truck to pick up rice in the supermarket the next day, the other party said he had taken the rice away. There are 10,000 question marks on Mr. Tao’s head and more than two hundred bags of rice. Not sure if he took himself away?

Subsequently, Mr. Tao asked the supermarket to check the monitoring, but after obtaining the monitoring, there was no result, “has been dragging on”.

Not to mention chain supermarkets, which are private convenience stores, where there are quite a few surveillance cameras. It is nothing more than the problem of Mr. Tao not being able to pick up the goods. Why is it so difficult to solve?

Mr. Tao said that the reason why he bought so many bags of rice was to participate in the supermarket lottery: if he bought more than 388 yuan, he can take Maotai to buy it once. The winner can buy the cheap Tianfei Moutai for 1499 yuan per bottle.

According to the receipt in Mr. Tao’s hand, every four bags of rice is a receipt, and the checkout amount is 400 yuan, with the words “lottery” printed on it.

Men’s supermarket bought nearly 7 tons of rice

–

Obstacles in picking up

Because there were too many meters, Mr. Tao couldn’t take it away by himself, so he went to the draw directly after the checkout at the cash register. After all, Mr. Tao is here for this. But after the lottery was over, when Mr. Tao wanted to take the rice, the supermarket said Mr. Tao had finished picking up the rice. Mr. Tao recalled the situation at that time. He used a tray to pull Mi to the checkout counter, but did not pull it out directly. The high-definition camera clearly shows that more than 200 bags of rice cannot be taken away casually.

Regarding the question raised by Mr. Tao, the supermarket staff said that during the opening activities, the supermarket was short of staff, so it took a little time to deal with this matter.

Supermarket staff: “Because we didn’t expect to say how you bought the rice, and didn’t release it, we also found it strange.”

The supermarket said that if Mr. Tao really bought the rice and did not take it away, after investigation, he would take away all 268 bags of rice.

Supermarket statement

After being reported by the media, it attracted the attention of many netizens. On the one hand, they were curious about the reason why Mr. Tao bought a lot of rice, and on the other hand, it was the explanation of the crowd. After understanding the cause and effect, netizens have left their own opinions. Some netizens believe that for the supermarket chain, this product is not worth deceiving, and there is a misunderstanding between the two sides; but some netizens believe that the responsible party is in the supermarket, so the cashier must be impressed with such a large order, “the supermarket is a bit ridiculous.”

Qi Yumin seriously violated the party’s political discipline, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, work discipline, and life discipline, constituted a violation of the law and was suspected of crimes of bribery, embezzlement of public funds, and abuse of power by state-owned company personnel. They still do not converge or close their hands after the university, their nature is bad, and the circumstances are serious. They should be dealt with seriously. In accordance with the “Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Sanctions Regulations”, “The Supervision Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Governmental Sanctions of Public Officials” and other relevant regulations, the Provincial Disciplinary Committee Standing Committee meeting researched and reported to the Provincial Party Committee for approval, and decided to give Qi Yumin expelled from the party; Cancel the treatment they enjoy in accordance with the regulations; collect their income from violations of discipline and law; transfer their suspected crimes to the procuratorial organ for review and prosecution in accordance with the law, and transfer the property involved together.

On December 4 last year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission issued a notice stating that according to the Liaoning Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the former party secretary and chairman of Brilliance Automobile Group Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Brilliance Group”) Qi Yumin was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. , Is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision and investigation.

According to the official resume, Qi Yumin was born in January 1959. After graduating from Shaanxi Institute of Mechanical Engineering in 1982, he joined Dalian Heavy Machinery Factory and served as deputy director and director of the Economic Planning Department. In 1995, he served as the deputy director of Dazhong Group Corporation. Manager, served as general manager of Dazhong Group Corporation in 1998.

In 2000, Qi Yumin served as chairman and general manager of Dalian Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd., and the following year as chairman and general manager of Dalian Heavy Industry Lifting Group Co., Ltd. In 2004, Qi Yumin served as the deputy mayor of Dalian.

At the end of December 2005, Qi Yumin was transferred to Brilliance Group as the party secretary and chairman of the board. Many years later, Qi Yumin said frankly in an interview with the media, “It was sudden, very tragic, ignorant and helpless to get the transfer order.” It is reported that the Brilliance Group at the time was still in the aftershocks of the Yangrong incident. The middle-level lost dealers fled and suffered serious losses. Qi Yumin, who arrived at that time, was once regarded as the “fire-fighting captain.”

After that, Qi Yumin cashed out on the capital market through Brilliance’s capital operation team, realizing the supplement to Brilliance’s capital. According to the Securities Daily, Qi Yumin clearly stated in an exclusive interview at the company’s 10th anniversary meeting: “Brilliance Auto’s development over the years has mostly relied on its own financing. Therefore, the financing capabilities of the capital market and Brilliance’s capital The multi-channel financing of development by the market is the key support for the development of independent brands.”

Qi Yumin also allowed Brilliance to obtain technical support through cooperation with BMW.

The industry generally believes that in the ten years of cooperation with BMW, Brilliance can not only lie down and make money, but also actually taste the sweetness of “using the market for technology”.However, Brilliance, whose development capability is too weak, has been unable to digest BMW’s technology, and its sales in its independent sector have also been declining, and its market share has been shrinking..

According to the Beijing News, in 2015, Brilliance Zhonghua’s small SUV Zhonghua V3 was officially launched. At that time, Qi Yumin set a goal: China V3 will be a pattern changer in China’s small SUV market;He repeatedly stated, “Before I retire, I must make Brilliance into the Fortune 500.”However, China V3 did not realize Qi Yumin’s sustenance. In 2017 and 2018, the sales of China V3 declined year after year, with annual sales of 36,000 and 12,500, respectively, down 52% and 65.27% year-on-year..

Finally, on October 11, 2018, at the 15th anniversary celebration of BMW Brilliance, Brilliance Group and BMW Group jointly announced that Brilliance Group intends to sell 25% of the shares in BMW Brilliance to BMW Group by 2022, the transaction price is RMB 29 billion yuan,BMW Brilliance will become the first vehicle joint venture company controlled by a foreign party. This has caused Qi Yumin to suffer from public controversy.

Qi Yumin later revealed when he was a guest on CCTV that the prerequisite for BMW’s negotiations at the time was a 75% share ratio, and everything could be discussed, but the share ratio could not be discussed. As a result, Brilliance had to negotiate two agreements with the other party: First, to make the pie of the joint venture bigger, at least to double it, “otherwise it would be meaningless to liberalize the equity ratio.” In addition, the shareholders of both parties have to obtain greater economic benefits,”Three and a half years later, Brilliance has changed from 50 to 25, but the benefits of 25 must be greater than the current 50.”.

On April 1, 2019, when he retired from Brilliance Group, Qi Yumin said with emotion, “The past was cleared, love and hate are at will, I hope Brilliance will always be well”. But now, Qi Yumin and Brilliance are both running counter to the vision.

Brilliance Group went bankrupt and reorganized last year

According to the official website of Brilliance Group, the company has 4 listed companies (Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Co., Ltd., Shanghai Shenhua Holdings Co., Ltd., Jinbei Automobile Co., Ltd., and Xinchen China Power Holdings Co., Ltd.), and more than 160 wholly-owned, holding and shareholding companies the company. There are 47,000 employees,Total assets exceed 190 billion yuan.

Last year, Brilliance had many operating problems. Since July last year,Brilliance Group was caught in a debt turmoil, was exposed to 100 billion yuan in debt, and many equity shares were frozen. In August, Dagong International and Oriental Jincheng successively included Brilliance Group and its multiple bonds on the rating watch list. In September, both Orient Jincheng and Dagong International downgraded Brilliance Group’s main credit rating, among which Dongfang Jincheng downgraded to AA+ and Dagong International directly downgraded it to AA. On October 16, Oriental Jincheng once again downgraded Brilliance Group’s main credit rating to AA-. On October 21, Dagong International downgraded the main credit rating of Brilliance Group to A+.

On November 16 of that year, Brilliance Group disclosed thatThe company has constituted a total debt default amount of 6.5 billion yuan and overdue interest amount of 144 million yuan. Due to the shortage of corporate funds, the renewal credit approval has not been completed, resulting in failure to repay. Then on November 20, the Shenyang Intermediate People’s Court ruled to accept the creditor personality Zhizhi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd.’s application for reorganization of Brilliance Group.Brilliance Group officially entered the bankruptcy reorganization process.

The court’s ruling stated that the assets of Brilliance Group were insufficient to pay off all its debts, and that it had bankruptcy reasons stipulated in the Corporate Bankruptcy Law. But at the same time, the group has the value and possibility of salvation, and the necessity and feasibility of reorganization.

For driving to this position, according to the relevant person in charge of the Liaoning Provincial SASAC,Brilliance Group’s long-term poor operation and management, its own brands have been in a state of loss, and the debt ratio remains high. Since 2018, the Liaoning Provincial Government and relevant departments have been working hard to help Brilliance Group solve its cash flow problems, but its debt problems have been accumulated. This year, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the operating conditions of Brilliance Group’s own brands have further deteriorated, and long-term accumulated debt problems have erupted. According to the semi-annual report of Brilliance Group this year, the total liabilities at the group level are 52.376 billion yuan, the debt-to-asset ratio exceeds 110%, and the financing capacity is lost. In order to solve the debt problem, the relevant parties established the Brilliance Group Bank Debt Committee to seek debt reconciliation, but failed.

On the day that Brilliance Group officially entered the bankruptcy and reorganization process, the China Securities Regulatory Commission stated,Special inspections have been carried out on Brilliance Automobile Group in accordance with the law, the administrative supervision measures of issuing warning letters have been taken against Brilliance Group, and it has been decided to file an investigation for suspected violations of information disclosure., Conduct simultaneous inspections of intermediaries involved in the Brilliance Group’s bonds, and strictly investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations.

ILO report millions Domestic servants are exploited

Status: 15.06.2021 6:05 p.m.

Working conditions for domestic workers have continued to deteriorate during the corona pandemic, according to a report by the International Labor Organization. Women are most affected. Ten years after a UN Protection Convention was passed, millions of domestic workers are still suffering from exploitation and poor working conditions. The Corona crisis has made the precarious social situation of children, women and men even worse, said the International Labor Organization (ILO) in a report. Many would have lost their jobs during the global pandemic. While, according to the report, the situation for many employees visibly improved before the pandemic, the conditions are now often worse again. ILO Director General Guy Ryder therefore called for all domestic workers to receive fair contracts as well as job and social protection.

06/02/2021

More than a third without protection

More than a third of all 76 million domestic workers had no protection whatsoever, especially in Asia and in Arab countries, according to the ILO chief. According to the information, almost 58 million of the 76 million domestic workers worldwide are women. The ILO, which is part of the United Nations, passed the Convention for the Protection of Domestic Workers in mid-June 2011. It applies to employees who cook, clean, look after children and the elderly and do other work in other households.

05.12.2018

UN convention is ignored

According to the convention, domestic workers should receive a minimum wage, paid rest periods and holidays. They also have a right to secure jobs that do not endanger their health. The agreement also prohibits any form of harassment, abuse and violence. The employees have the right to an employment contract – if the contract is breached, they should be able to sue in court. It is also stated that domestic workers under the age of 18 enjoy special protection. However, the regulations made in the UN Convention are often ignored. Domestic workers are often employed informally and so cannot exercise their rights.

// The new glory is here.//

At the press conference, there will be many new products of Honor 50SE, Honor X20SE, and Honor Play20. Starting at 10:08 on June 1st, Honor will open all-platform reservation activities simultaneously. Users can go to Honor online and offline platform stores to reserve Honor 50 series products for free. As of 16:00 on the 14th, The online platform JD Honor 50 has reserved 597,000 reservations, and the Honor 50Pro has reserved 348,000 reservations. In addition to the 123,400 reservations made by the Honor Mall, the total number of reservations has exceeded 1.05 million, which is unprecedentedly popular.

(The picture comes from Honor Jingdong’s self-operated flagship store)

It is reported that, The Honor 50 series will be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G 5G mobile platform for the first time. The Snapdragon 778G uses TSMC’s 6nm process technology, A78 architecture, and the highest frequency can reach 2.4GHz. Glory CEO Zhao Ming said at the Qualcomm Technology and Cooperation Summit on May 21 that since Glory became independent, Qualcomm is the first batch of manufacturers to complete the supply certification of Glory and sign a comprehensive supply agreement. Glory’s flagship and high-end products released in the future will all use the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform. Starting in June, Honor’s chip supply will be fully restored.

In November last year, due to the pressure of being cut off from the supply of chips, Huawei decided to sell the business assets related to the Honor brand and no longer hold any shares. After more than two months of independence, almost all suppliers have resumed the supply of Honor, including AMD, Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc.

Huatai Securities believes that the recovery of glory may bring new opportunities for Android industry chain companies, but competition in the mid-end mobile phone market may further intensify, putting pressure on mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi.

// The latest pattern of the mobile phone market //

Looking at domestic brand mobile phones, Last year, the market was basically occupied by the four major brands of Huawei, OPPO, vivo and Xiaomi. Wind data shows that when Huawei’s mobile phones are still shipping normally, Huawei’s shipments in the third quarter of 2020 are 52 million units, far exceeding Xiaomi’s 47 million units, vivo’s 32 million units and OPPO’s 24 million units (OPPO’s second quarter Data, not announced in the third quarter).

And because of the “lack of core” problem, Huawei’s mobile phones have been in a dilemma that they are out of stock. After selling the mobile phone sub-brand “Honor”, Huawei has provided other manufacturers with an opportunity to seize market share. So far, In the first quarter of this year, the shipments of Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo all showed good growth. Among them, Xiaomi began to take the lead, with shipments of 49 million units in the first quarter, far exceeding OPPO’s 38 million units and vivo’s 35 million units.

It is worth mentioning that in the first quarter of 2021, Xiaomi Group has set a revenue of up to 77 billion yuan, with a net profit of 7.8 billion yuan, which has exceeded half of last year’s annual profit, and both revenue and net profit have reached record highs. Mobile phone shipments reached 49.4 million units, successfully ranking among the top 3 in global mobile phone sales, accounting for 13% of the global market share. Huawei’s global market share is only 4%, which is less than 1/3 of Xiaomi’s.

From a global market perspective, the Strategy Analytics report shows that In the first quarter, the top five mobile phone manufacturers in global shipments were Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo. In the first quarter, neither of the two rankings showed any glory.

On May 21, 2021, Honor CEO Zhao Ming stated at the 2021 Qualcomm Technology and Cooperation Summit that Honor has formally reached a strategic cooperation with Qualcomm. In the future, all products of Honor will adopt the Qualcomm platform. Glory’s chip supply will be fully restored in June, including AMD, Intel, Micron, Samsung, Qualcomm, Microsoft, MTK, etc.

Zhao Ming said that April is the darkest moment of glory, and it will gradually recover from May. Beginning in June, Honor’s chip supply will be fully restored. Honor’s market share was 3% when it was at its lowest, and it has now recovered to 8%.

// Competition in the mobile phone market may further intensify//

Huatai Securities believes that the recovery of glory may bring new opportunities to companies in the Android industry chain such as Sunny, but competition in the mid-end mobile phone market may further intensify, putting pressure on mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi.

Industrial Securities judged that although the supply of chips was resumed in glory, there are still difficulties in obtaining chips under the current extension of the delivery period. The annual mobile phone shipments are expected to remain at around 40 million.

Huajin Securities pointed out that since May, Android-based mobile phone brand manufacturers have placed revision orders and confirmed the order adjustment information with the supply chain. The performance enhancement brought by 5G is not as attractive as expected, technological innovation is limited, consumer replacement cycles are lengthened, and supply-side shortages and price increases have forced terminal manufacturers to respond with reduced specifications. The smartphone sector “made worse” and costs increased in the second quarter And the downward revision of shipments has put pressure on the industry chain.

This time the Honor 50 series phones, For Honor’s flagship model released for the first time since Huawei’s independence, it inherits Huawei’s genes in terms of brand, channel, and technology. Honor’s market performance in the second half of the year and in the future is worth looking forward to.

// The mobile phone industry chain benefits //

According to the analysis of the Liu Shuangfeng & Lei Ming team of CITIC Construction Investment, the new Honor will effectively meet the “delayed” replacement needs of the original Huawei users. It is expected that the new Honor will be able to successfully start the volume in the country in the second half of the year. The overseas market will also gradually make breakthroughs. At the same time, we expect that with the release of new Android phones, as well as the peak season of 618 and Shucu, In the third quarter, the domestic mobile phone market will recover from the weakness in the second quarter, and the performance of the upstream consumer electronics industry chain will also be boosted.

Although the current details of the Honor supplier have not been known, the hot sale of the new Honor machine is undoubtedly positive for the smartphone industry chain. Wind data display, At present, there are many companies in the smart phone industry chain. There are many listed companies in the six major displays, chips, casings, cameras, batteries and PCBs. Worthy of attention.

Employees spied on for years Million fine for Ikea in France

Status: 15.06.2021 1:44 p.m.

For years, Ikea had spied out unpleasant employees in France and created customer profiles. Two former managers have now been found guilty – and the furniture store has to pay a fine of more than one million euros. In the process of spying on staff and customers, Ikea was fined one million euros in France. The judges at the court in Versailles found that the French Ikea subsidiary had carried out espionage between 2009 and 2012 to investigate unpleasant employees and create profiles of disgruntled customers. Unions accused Ikea France of fraudulently collecting personal data, particularly through illegally obtained police files, and of divulging personal information without permission. Company lawyers denied that the company had any “general espionage” strategy.

“It’s a symbol”

Abel Amara, a former Ikea employee who helped expose the crackdown, called the ruling a major step in citizens’ defense. “I am glad that there is justice in France,” he said. A trade union lawyer, Solène Debarre, expressed hope that the verdict “will shake some companies”. “A million isn’t much for Ikea, but it’s a symbol,” said Debarre.

December 18, 2017

Private security company took care of the data

The disclosure sheet “Canard enchaîné” reported in 2012 about a systematic spying. The security department of the French Ikea subsidiary commissioned a private security company in 2003 to provide the company with some confidential data on staff and applicants – such as information on possible criminal records or bank statements. Similar information is said to have been requested from customers who were involved in a legal dispute with Ikea. The FO union then filed a complaint against unknown persons about the illegal use of personal data.

Probation and fine

The manager, who was responsible for risk management at the time, admitted in court that 530,000 to 630,000 euros had been allocated annually for such investigations. The instructions to his department had come from the former CEO of Ikea France, Jean-Louis Baillot. This denied the allegations, but was sentenced to a fine of 50,000 euros and two years in prison. Another former responsible received 18 months probation and a fine of 10,000 euros. Of the other 13 defendants, some were acquitted, while others were also given parole. The Swedish group distanced itself from the alleged practices. After the investigation began in 2012, Ikea fired four managers and changed its internal policies. Several civil suits by unions and 74 employees are pending. After the judgment, the company said it had taken note of the decision. You now allow us to look ahead.

Responding to criticism WhatsApp plans one-time messages

Status: 14.06.2021 11:19 a.m.

The WhatsApp chat service is responding to the growing criticism of its market power. The fears of many users are to be allayed with new functions for the protection of privacy. The WhatsApp chat service wants to stick to the complete encryption and is promising new functions to protect privacy. The company, which belongs to the US group Facebook, is launching an advertising campaign on data protection in Germany and Great Britain today. The countries are among their most important markets. Management’s ideas include the ability to send messages that the recipient can only view once. That could be useful, for example, if you have to send family members a password, said WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart.

06/02/2021

Users also want to be able to set that chats disappear on their own after a certain period of time. “Overall, people don’t want their messages to last forever,” said Cathcart. “When we talk, we don’t have a recording device with us. So it’s strange that digital chat platforms save them forever.” The short promotional videos say that content sent on WhatsApp is basically only visible in clear text to the users involved thanks to the so-called end-to-end encryption.

Privacy activists alerted

WhatsApp has recently come under pressure for various reasons: On the one hand, the Announcement of the new usage rules caused criticism. Data protectionists warned that WhatsApp could increase data exchange with third-party companies and, above all, that data would also be shared with the parent company Facebook. WhatsApp rejected this and emphasized several times that the end-to-end encryption, with which the service itself does not have access to content, will not be weakened. WhatsApp boss Cathcart admitted errors in the announcement of the new rules. WhatsApp has not made it clear enough what you are doing and why: “We only became clearer when we saw the confusion. That is our responsibility,” said Cathcart.

05/29/2021

More than two billion users

In view of the criticism, many people have apparently looked around for alternatives to the chat service. The company currently has more than two billion users. It is not known how many actually migrated. A vast majority of users who have already been asked to agree to the new rules would have accepted them, said Cathcart. He did not give exact numbers. Originally, users who do not agree to the new rules should lose access to basic functions over time. Meanwhile they no longer face any consequences . Only the new functions for communication with companies will only be able to be used after approval of the update. According to WhatsApp, they were the main reason for changing the terms of use.

05/15/2021

Attempt a charm offensive

The company’s move could have another reason: The parent company Facebook is currently not only under close observation in the USA . Last year, federal authorities and states filed lawsuits against the Internet giant Google and the online platform Facebook. They are accused of anti-competitive practices. The market power of the large technology groups is now seen as a problem by many governments around the world. Consumer advocates also warn: “The market power of the Facebook group forces users to communicate via WhatsApp,” says Lina Ehrig, the head of the digital and media team at the Federation of German Consumer Organizations. “From the consumer’s point of view, it would be ideal if messenger services are legally and technically designed in such a way that sustainable competition and the innovative strength of the market are promoted.” In order to promote competition, so-called interoperability would be a possible means from the point of view of consumer advocates: As a survey by the consumer advice center shows, around a third of users would be willing to switch messengers if messages could be shared between different providers.

Encryption dispute

For its part, Cathcart is targeting governments. They tried to soften the encryption in chat services. “I hope that, over time, governments will see that the most important role they can play is to keep people safe.” This could be done, for example, by setting standards for companies.

02/09/2020

WhatsApp argues with governments that end-to-end encryption helps protect the security of citizens. Facebook is still sticking to the plan to bring full encryption to its second chat service Messenger as the next step, said Cathcart. In several countries, governments and authorities are attempting the Complete encryption in chat services like WhatsApp . In Germany, too, there is a draft law with which the protection of the constitution is supposed to enable source telecommunications monitoring in encrypted chat services as well.

Online optician Mister Spex wants to go public

Status: 14.06.2021 11:16 a.m.

The list of companies that want to go public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange this year is getting longer and longer. Now the online optician Mister Spex is also planning to go out onto the floor to finance its expansion course. The Berlin online optician Mister Spex needs fresh money to finance its expansion plans abroad and wants to go public on the Frankfurt stock exchange by the end of September. The company would like to sell new shares from a capital increase as well as papers from existing shareholders and raise at least 225 million euros. It is Mister Spex’s second attempt to go public. There were already plans in 2018 to finance growth with the help of an IPO. Ultimately, however, the company managed to raise the necessary money through new financing rounds from private investors, so that the IPO was canceled. The shareholders include investors such as Goldman Sachs, DN Capital, Intershop founder Stephan Schambach and StudiVZ founder Ehssan Dariani. Global Growth Capital, a subsidiary of the Internet holding company Rocket Internet, also provided a loan.

Strong increase in sales

Founder and CEO Dirk Graber is quoted as saying: “The IPO is the next logical step for us to strengthen our position as a leading, fundamentally digitally oriented European omnichannel optical brand and to support our long-term growth strategy.” In fact, since its founding at the end of 2007, Mister Spex has succeeded in taking market share from the dominant optician chains in Germany, Fielmann and Apollo, and showing that buying glasses on the Internet can work just as well as in brick-and-mortar stores. Last year, the company increased its sales disproportionately to 164 million euros (plus 18 percent), while Fielmann’s revenues fell by six percent to 1.4 billion euros.

More than 40 own branches

At the European level, revenue in the eyewear market has even fallen by 13 percent. In the first quarter of 2021, Mister Spex is also reporting “sustained momentum” with sales growth of 27 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021. In addition, Mister Spex achieved a positive operating result of seven million euros last year. Despite the strong growth on the Internet, Mister Spex has opened more and more stationary branches in recent years. The company now operates 42 branches of its own in Germany, Austria and Sweden. The managing director Mirko Caspar told the “Handelsblatt” that in the long term half of the sales should be generated in the branches. The figures showed that the combination of online shop, own stores and 400 partner opticians enabled rapid and extensive growth.

Accordingly, US investors have made a profit of up to $ 4.1 billion by investing in this world’s number 1 “virtual currency”. Right behind the US is China with 1.1 billion USD. The remaining positions in the top 5 include Japan ($0.9 billion), UK ($0.8 billion) and Russia ($0.6 billion). Notably, this list also includes the presence of Vietnam. According to Chainalysis estimates, Vietnamese investors have earned $0.4 billion in 2020 by investing in Bitcoin. On a global scale, Vietnam ranks 13th in the world in terms of Bitcoin-related profitability. Vietnam is also the 4th country in terms of cryptocurrency profits, just behind China, Japan, and South Korea. Ranking of the 25 most profitable countries from Bitcoin in 2020. According to Chainalysis, due to the decentralized nature of the technology, it is very difficult to find out where the parties are in a cryptocurrency transaction. The published results were estimated using transaction data from services that Chainalysis tracks. In its analysis, Chainalysis measures the total volume of Bitcoin transactions at each crypto exchange. They estimate the amount earned by the difference in the price of Bitcoin at 2 times of entering and leaving the exchange. Chainalysis then distributes this profit based on each country’s share of web traffic on each exchange. By doing this, Chainalysis has produced a report on how much return investors in each country will make with Bitcoin in 2020. Even so, Chainalysis’s methodology is approximate and not yet available. regardless of the profits from the digital assets still in the exchanges. Vietnam currently ranks 10th on the Global Cryptocurrency Acceptance Index. According to Chainalysis, Vietnam is a perfect example of a country where the level of participation in cryptocurrency transactions far exceeds the ranking of the economy. Although only ranked 53rd in GDP with about $262 billion and ranked as a low-middle-income country, Vietnam still has a fairly high level of acceptance for cryptocurrency transactions. Accordingly, Vietnam ranks 10th out of 154 countries in the Global Cryptocurrency Acceptance Index. This is one of the rare indexes where Vietnam has the same rank as developed countries such as the US, China or South Africa, even more than many other developed countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Spain. , Japan, Korea,… With such popularity, Chainalysis is not surprised that Vietnamese investors ranked 13th in the world in terms of income earned from Bitcoin in 2020. Many Vietnamese Bitcoin investors have won big in 2020. Similar to Vietnam, this phenomenon also occurs in a number of other countries such as the Czech Republic (54th in GDP, 18th in income from Bitcoin), Turkey (25th in GDP, 16th in revenue). Bitcoin income) and Spain (19th in GDP, 9th in Bitcoin income). On the other hand, despite having the 4th largest economy with the 2nd largest population in the world, India is being left behind in the crypto economy. In 2020, the country’s investors only made 241 million USD from the increase in the price of Bitcoin, ranked 18th in the world. This is because the Indian government does not seem to be very friendly with cryptocurrencies. India used to ban all cryptocurrency transactions in the country, until the Supreme Court of India lifted the ban in March 2020. Although many Vietnamese investors are making big profits from cryptocurrencies. Having said that, investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies is a very risky investment. Therefore, investors need to be careful and learn carefully before deciding to enter this harsh market.

my country is an ancient civilization with a long history. It has many ancient capitals and ancient cities. Some even ranked four ancient capitals, ten ancient cities, and ten ancient towns. Among the many ancient cities, there is one very special. It is an ancient city built on Jiangxin Island. It is surrounded by water and is very beautiful. Unfortunately, not many people know it, and it can even be described as little known. This ancient city is located in the ancient city of Danzhou in Sanjiang County, Guangxi. The ancient city of Danzhou is bordered by National Highway 209 and Zhiliu Railway in the east, Sanliu Expressway in the west, and about 50 kilometers away from Sanjiang County. The ancient city is located on Jiangxin Island on the Rongjiang River, surrounded by water on all sides. The island covers an area of ​​about 1.6 square kilometers and is home to five ethnic groups, Dong, Miao, Yao, Zhuang, and Han. There are 72 surnames, more than 200 households, and a total of more than 1,100 residents. Danzhou is not accessible by road. The ferry is the only means of entry and exit. The scenic spot does not charge tickets, but the ferry fee is charged. The ferry fee is 20 yuan per person (including the tickets). There is almost no need to wait. When the boatman sees someone boarding the boat, it will start immediately. It can be delivered to the island in a few minutes. It is said that the local government had previously intended to build a bridge to connect the island, but it was met with unanimous opposition from Danzhou villagers. Their reason is that “Once there is a bridge, there will be no Danzhou.” If the bridge is built, China’s only ancient city on the water will no longer exist. Because of this, tourists must ferry into the ancient city of Danzhou. Regarding the architecture of the ancient city of Danzhou, there is an ancient poem circulating in the local area: “Smelling Yinchuan around Danyang, dreaming of haze and melting the river. The Minyue Guild Hall talks about elegance, and the Danzhou Academy cooks articles. The fisherman sings in anticipation of Xiaoyue, and visitors share the joy of morning light. “Revisit the resort to look for historical sites, and go upstairs to write about the vicissitudes of life.” Basically, the ancient buildings of the ancient city such as Danzhou Academy, Minyue Guild Hall, East Gate Tower, North Gate Tower, and Ancient City Wall are summarized. As for the origin of the ancient city of Danzhou, there are relevant historical records. Danzhou was named after the 17th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. When Su Chaoyang, the local magistrate, visited Danzhou, he saw that the island looked like a fish with its head and tail raised. Leap to the sky, leading the way. The distant view is surrounded by green hills and green water wrapped around the waist. It means that the barrier is the mountain and the sky is the water. So I decided to move the county seat to this continent. It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. However, the maple leaves of Manchuria were all dyed and red, so I named this place. For Danzhou. Since Su Chaoyang built the city here, the county government in Danzhou has been over 340 years ago. It was not until the 21st year of the Republic of China (that is, 1932) that the county seat was moved to Guyi. Slowly fell silent. The ancient city was severely damaged in the last century. There are very few ancient buildings that have survived. Among them, the Minyue Guild Hall is one of the best. It is understood that the Minyue Guild Hall, also known as Tianhou Palace, is located on the northeast side of Danzhou and was built in the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has a history of more than 300 years. It was built by an old man named Xue who was doing business here and spent thousands of taels of silver. The layout of the guild hall is built according to the Tianhou Temple in Zhangzhou, Fujian. It faces east from the west, the main hall to the west, the front hall to the east, and the wing building on the north and south sides. A statue of Shuo Mazu in the center of the main hall is dedicated to the worship and worship of merchants traveling from the north to the south. The front hall and the main hall are connected as a whole, and the momentum is magnificent. The guild hall has high walls and green tiles, with simple and beautiful paintings on the walls. It is one of the largest Matsu temples in the Lingnan area. There is a couplet in front of the gate of the Minyue Guild Hall. The upper couplet is “The vastness and virtue are in the water”, and the lower couplet is “Obviously, I am in position.” Heng criticized the “Fujian and Guangdong Family”. The fourth word in the upper and lower Lian is “Queen of Heaven”, which means that the wisdom and noble virtue of the goddess of the Queen of Heaven occupies an infinitely lofty position in the minds of Fujian people. The horizontal batch of “Fujian and Guangdong family” does not refer to Fujian and Guangdong, but only refers to Fujian, that is, the same town in Fujian is a family. The grass-covered wall in the picture above is the oldest section of the city wall on Danzhou. It is a real old antique. The information on the side shows that it was built in the 19th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1591) and consumed tens of thousands of silver at that time. . The city wall is based on blue stone, and the wall is rammed with two-sided masonry. The circumference is 879 meters, the height is 5.3 meters, and the thickness is 3.6 meters. 450 battlements are used by guards to release arrows during war. Due to long years of disrepair, in addition to the preservation effect of the northern city wall, half of the eastern city wall remains. The west and south city walls and gates have collapsed or demolished. The current city wall has only left more than 300 meters on the east and north sides, all of which have been included in Guangxi. Key cultural relics protection units. There are four main roads in the ancient city. One of the core roads is called Fujian Street. It is located in the northeast outside the ancient city and has a total length of more than 120 meters. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the administrative system of Danzhou has been stabilized. The transportation of freight is guaranteed by safety, so it is very prosperous. The ancient city has two gates, namely the North Gate and the East Gate. The North Gate, also known as “Zhiding Gate”, also has the characters “Beidilou” on the tower, which is located on the north side of the Danzhou City Wall. The four gates of the Danzhou city wall as a whole. Now, Zhiding Gate is the most intact ancient building of the Ming Dynasty among the four gates. There are 19 steps up to the gate, and it is the most intact monument on Danzhou Island. As for why it is called Zhidingmen, the local staff introduced it like this: During the Ming Dynasty, the border between Guangxi and Guizhou was mostly high and large mountainous areas, also known as barren land, with backward culture and extremely underdeveloped economy. There are often ethnic minorities who are dissatisfied with the oppression of Han officials and hold uprisings to occupy the mountain as king. Therefore, the war continued. After Su Chaoyang moved the county seat to Danzhou, four gates and walls were built. This gate faces the north, the border area of ​​Guangxi and Guizhou, and is named “Administration”, which means peace through governance and management. Looking down on Danzhou from the air, except for the cross-shaped old streets, all other areas are filled with greenery, and these greens are basically grapefruit trees, because Danzhou is a veritable “township of grapefruit”, and local residents plant sand fields. Pomelo makes a living, so that the entire ancient city is hidden in the pomelo grove. Almost every house is surrounded by pomelo trees, and behind the house is a pomelo garden. You visit here every autumn, but you can taste the authentic Shatian pomelo, which is said to be the same as Yulin. The county Shatian pomelo has the same name. The only ancient city on the water in China, although Danzhou is not as large as the ancient cities of Pingyao, Lijiang, and Lang, it also has its own charm. Unfortunately, few people know it. Not to mention that it is rarely known in other provinces, but it is similar to that in Guangxi. Compared with the ancient town of Huangyao, it can be said to be obscured. Fortunately, it has now begun to attract people’s attention and has been successfully promoted to a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. If you come to Liuzhou for tourism, then go to this unique Danzhou Don’t miss the ancient city.

The floating beams surrounded by greenery are immortal Throughout the ages, there has been an endless stream of people who have visited Fuliang City. The words of praise are hidden in popular poems Jingdezhen has always been known as the “Porcelain Capital”, and Fuliang County, located at the junction of Jiangxi and Anhui provinces in the northeast of Jiangxi Province, is the largest district in Jingdezhen. It is not only the famous “source of porcelain”, but also The little-known “Fuliang Tea City”. The famous verse that made Fuliang tea master famous in our childhood textbooks, Bai Juyi’s “Pipa Xing”, “Businessmen value profit rather than parting, and Fuliang went to buy tea the previous month.” A short sentence to buy tea in Fuliang shows the status of Fuliang tea at that time. Today, it is the first time for me to come to Jingdezhen. I am not looking for the blue and white porcelain, but only to explore the pleasant fragrance of Fuliang tea. Drive about an hour from Fuliang County to the “Shizi Garden”. After the new rain, a green tea field spread out in front of my eyes. The tea fields of Shiziyuan occupy the right time and place of the Fuliang Mountain; the vegetation there is vast, warm and humid, the soil layer is deep, the rainfall is abundant, cloudy and foggy; “Sundays and evenings on a sunny day, fog everywhere, cloudy and rainy, full of clouds” is Shiziyuan’s. Beauty and portrayal. In the early summer of May, Shi Ziyuan exudes a faint fragrance of spring tea. When the drone soared freely in the sky, I saw the beauty away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and also felt the romantic poem brought by Fuliang Chunming: “Tea ridges lie outside the sky, and peaks and mountains pass between the sea and clouds.” If you want to understand the past and present of Fuliang, one place you must visit is “Yaoli Ancient Town”. The ancient name of Yaoli is “Yaoli”, as far back as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, where there were handicraft workshops producing ceramics, named after the famous porcelain kiln. It wasn’t until the beginning of this century that the porcelain kiln moved out, and “Yaoli” was renamed Yaoli. Ming and Qing Ancient Street Water Pavilion Tower Bluestone Road Wooden Suspension Bridge Naughty child Green hills, green water, white wall and black tiles Also far away and live Also beautiful and also through Choose a cool breeze in the afternoon, walk slowly in the Huizhou-style building with white walls and blue tiles, slowly appreciate and taste the lush greenery of the years and the passage of time. In Yaoli Ancient Town, you can see the villagers take their dried bamboo shoots to dry in the sun, and you can also see the old people sitting in twos and threes on the bamboo chairs to bask in the sun. The dense life scenes make people want to stay. The new tea picked by the villagers in the ancient town is also favored by tourists. Red pepper, dried potato, dried small fish, and fermented bean curd can be used as your meal, or you can take it home as authentic local souvenirs. “Mother River” Yao River, clear and soothing, gurgling across the town from east to west, bringing poetry-like pastoral scenery to the small ancient town. Because of the agility of the Yao River, the town is more peaceful, and tourists also like to walk on the small wooden bridge over the river, staggeringly stepping on the beat to explore the past of the ancient town. Sitting on the wooden bridge, taking a stretched photo, the green hills are majestic, the trees are verdant, and a colorful ink painting is spread out like this. The ancient buildings in Yaoli are mostly old houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties, scattered on both sides of the Yao River. The old-fashioned bricks and tiles, mottled walls, classical windows, and angled eaves all tell history. I like this ancient town of Yaoli. There are no fully commercialized Xiaoqiaoliu Shui people’s homes. The villagers in the ancient town still retain their houses and previous lifestyles. For them, it seems that time has stagnated, as if everything is the same as before. . Also belonging to the Yaoli Scenic Area, there is also a “Rainan Ancient Kiln Civilization Site”. Around the south, a very inconspicuous mountain village once led Jingdezhen ceramics to another brilliance. As far back as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Yaoli had handcrafted workshops for the production of ceramics, especially glazed fruit. During the heyday of porcelain making, there were more than 100 porcelain kilns, more than 200 ceramic workshops, and more than 300 water tanks. During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the Yaoli porcelain industry was pushed to its peak and became one of the three ancient kiln areas in Jingdezhen. Now go to the ancient civilization site of the ancient kiln in Raonan, you can see the oldest glazed fruit hand workshop, ceramic hand workshop, and now there are workers in it to restore the scene of the year. Along a serene path with a winding path, there is the No. 1 Long Kiln site. This is a sloped dragon kiln built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is built on the mountain and has a total length of 19.2 meters. It is divided into three parts: a fire chamber, a kiln bed and a smoke outlet. It is paved with crushed stones and is well preserved. Visitors to and from the kiln must always observe carefully and look up at this large kiln with a slope. Flying the drone, overlooking the long No. 1 Dragon Kiln from a high altitude, it is like a gray “grey dragon” embedded in the green water and green mountains, winding and talking. In the distance, there is the No. 2 Long Kiln site. It is one of the oldest porcelain kilns discovered in Yaoli. The No. 3 Long Kiln site is the oldest and most well-preserved dragon kiln discovered to date. Why did the small Raonanshan Village become the exclusive land of dragon kilns for several generations in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties? The answer is the same as Fuliang tea. There are abundant china clay resources, sufficient water resources, and sufficient fuel resources, which are all indispensable natural conditions for making porcelain. Leaving the ancient kiln civilization ruins in Raonan, the car traveled between the green hills of Fuliang in northern Jiangxi. What you breathe is the taste of negative oxygen ions. The source of high-grade Fuliang black tea is hidden in these green primitive wild tea forests; Wanghu Ancient Tea Garden is also in this forest and mountains. After the Fuliang black tea is brewed, the tea soup is red and strong, the aroma is fresh, the fragrance is long-lasting, and there is an obvious sweet fragrance, sometimes with the fragrance of roses. The unique fragrance of floating red is also called “Qimenxiang”. Gongfu black tea produced in Fuliang County won the gold medal of the “Panama World Expo”. Since then, Fuliang Gongfu black tea, together with Sri Lanka’s highland tea and India’s Darjeeling tea, has been included in the world’s top three high-flavor teas. Fuliang County has many mountains above 500 meters above sea level. The red soil and yellow soil in the area have high organic content, rich water, heat, and biological resources. The mountain forests grow luxuriantly, the forest coverage rate is high, and tea gardens are scattered on the slopes and hills. The unique natural conditions not only make Fuliang black tea famous overseas, but also the “Fuyao Xianzhi” and “Yaoli Yayu” Fuliang green tea, which is also a high-quality high-quality mountain tea. When I left Fuliang County, I brought a few boxes of Fuliang tea back to Shanghai, hoping to keep the fragrance of Fuliang tea lingering on my lips and in my heart.

Today, the area around the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, which is sparsely populated, is still an economically backward area. So when I took a green train and crossed the high mountains of the Qinling Mountains to the junction of the three provinces of Shaan, Gansu and Sichuan, I realized that there was an ancient city that had been prosperous for thousands of years. It is the ancient city of Fengzhou. Before the “May Day” holiday, I went for a slow trip to Qinling. Departing from Xi’an, take a green leather train along the Baocheng Railway all the way south to Fengxian, Baoji. The Baocheng Railway is a traffic artery connecting the Great Northwest and the Great Southwest, and it is also the first electrified railway in my country. The section from Baoji Station to Fengxian Station is the most difficult and dangerous section of the entire Baocheng Railway. Along the way, it passes through the Qinling tunnel group and the scenery is amazing. It also makes me sigh the vastness of the Qinling Mountains and the hardships of the Baocheng Railway project. Arrive at the previous station in Fengxian, passing by the “Fengzhou” station. A friend who has been to Fengxian told me that Fengzhou is the old county seat of Fengxian, and it was also an ancient city with a long history. But now it is “downgraded” into a village, and not many people know it. So when we returned, we deliberately came to the ancient city of Fengzhou, looking for the imprint of time in this “abandoned” thousand-year-old city… The history of the ancient city of Fengzhou can be traced back to the establishment of the “Gudao County” in the early Qin Dynasty. In 1951, the county government moved from Fengzhou to Shuangshipu Town. Despite military disputes and dynasties, Fengzhou has always been the seat of the state, county, and county. Historically, it has governed the Guangyuan area of ​​Sichuan and southeastern Gansu, and has been the political, economic, and cultural center of the region for more than 2,200 years. After the relocation of the county seat in 1951, this thousand-year-old city declined to its lowest point in history-becoming an administrative village in Fengzhou Town. The location of the ancient city of Fengzhou can be described as “by the mountain and by the water”. The first picture in the article was taken by me standing in the scenic spot of Xiaocai Temple opposite the ancient city of Fengzhou. From a high place, you can clearly see that this thousand-year-old city is surrounded by the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, and the Jialing River flows slowly from the side…Houses lined up to the north of the Qinling Phoenix Ridge, and several sections of Fengzhou’s soil can be seen on the west. Ruins of the city wall. Today, the Provincial Highway 212 and the Baocheng Railway “sandwich” Fengzhou between the north and the south; in ancient times, this was the place where Baoxie Road, Lianyun Road and the old road leading to Sichuan and Tianshui in Gansu must pass. In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the thousand-year-old city that connects Shaan, Gansu and Sichuan seems to be blocked from traffic. According to the “Fengxian County Chronicles”, after the opening of the plank road across the Qinling Mountains, merchants from north to south gathered here, and more and more inns and restaurants in Fengzhou City. In the early years of the Republic of China, Fengzhou City had more than ten large business houses, silver shops, and silver shops, more than ten grocery and cloth shops, and oil shops, hotels, and dye shops. Business was booming. Dongguan was particularly prosperous, and the north-south travels were particularly prosperous. The merchants live here, and inns and inns are often full.” So, what is left in Fengzhou today? From the county seat of Fengxian County, take the bus No. 6 and get off at Xiaocai Temple Station, and you can see that the cliffs of the majestic Douji Mountain are “inlaid” with many splendid Buddhist temples. The former Fengzhou ancient city is directly opposite to Xiaocai Temple. We randomly found an alley and walked into it. At the end of the alley is the Qinling Phoenix Ridge, and the back is the Qinling Douji Mountain. Looking up, I really feel that this is an ancient city hidden in the arms of the Qinling Mountains. Although Fengzhou is now downgraded to a village, its scale is much larger than I thought. The overall layout of the village is like a chessboard with many lanes. We walked around as we wanted, and we also encountered many old houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The architectural style of residential buildings in Fengzhou is different from that of southern Shaanxi, but somewhat similar to the style of Guanzhong courtyard. However, due to land reform and other reasons, although many old houses can be seen as a courtyard layout, they are no longer owned by one household, but are divided into several households. And there are more old houses, some of them have become dilapidated houses, and some of them are empty and seem to be deserted. We went around Fengzhou Village in a big circle. There were no traces of the county government, Guangfo Temple, casino, smoking house, brothel, etc., which were recorded in history. Only beside the Fengzhou Memorial Hall on the east side of the village, we saw the complex The built Chenghuang Temple and Confucian Temple. You need to buy tickets to enter these two buildings. After a glance at the brand new exterior walls, we left. Follow the village to the north, and you can walk to the Guangcheng Railway. This is the highest part of the village, and originally there were ruins of the city wall. Probably because of the construction of the Guangcheng Railway, the ruins of the ancient city wall disappeared. According to the “Fengxian County Chronicles”, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the amount of silver spent on urban construction in Fengzhou alone was 16,668 taels. The original city wall of Fengzhou City had a perimeter of four li, two feet and five feet high, and one foot and five feet wide. There were 848 brick stacks and three towers in the east, west and north. Now we can only see the ruins of the former city wall on the west side of the village. Those lonely loess walls are probably proof that the ancient city of Fengzhou was once brilliant… For a long period of time in history, the ancient city of Fengzhou was the economic and cultural center of the upper reaches of the Jialing River at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. . Nowadays, if it were not for the reminder of the signs beside Provincial Highway 212, few people would know that there is such a prosperous ancient city in the depths of the Qinling Mountains… It is said that Fengxian is already preparing to build the “Fengzhou Ancient City” and hope to make it Build a 5A scenic spot. I don’t know what it will look like when it’s goodbye? If you want to learn more about popular and fun tourist destinations, you are welcome to pay attention to “Xiaoyu’s Travel Diary”.

In response, Dong Mingzhu said: “Gree’s goal of housing allocation has never changed. Our dream is to allow every employee to own a suite. This year we have 3,700 units, and the first batch will be given priority to us. Excellent employees, but the ones who are not excellent will be given, but you have to wait slowly. As long as you are good enough, you will be given priority.” Before this, Dong Mingzhu also expressed this view in public many times.

Dong Mingzhu immediately responded positively on the spot. Someone just said, “I haven’t been allocated a room for five years.” You have to ask why you haven’t been allocated a room? She said that Gree’s goal of housing allocation has never changed. Our dream is to allow every employee to own a suite. This year we have 3,700 units. The first batch of units will be given priority to our excellent employees, but the ones that are not excellent are also Will give, just wait slowly.

Is OEM still not a good business?

Wen丨Chinese Business Strategies A Yun

Compared with the “quick money” made by emerging industries such as the Internet, the traditional industry of shoemaking is often looked down upon, and the considerable productivity and steady growth in revenue of shoemaking companies in Taiwan have caused people to rethink about foundry. business.

【Shoe King】

On May 6, 2021, Forbes China Taiwan Rich List was released.

It was not Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn, the world’s largest contract manufacturer, nor the Wei family behind the food giant Master Kong, who aspired to the throne of the richest man. Rather, it was a shoe maker with a net worth of US$13.8 billion (approximately 89 billion yuan). Zhang Congyuan.

Maybe you don’t know who Zhang Congyuan is, but the Converse, Nike, and Puma you wear on your feet are likely to come from his foundry-Huali Group.

Just over a month ago, Huali Group successfully went public and became the first sports shoe manufacturer in A shares. The prospectus shows that even in 2020 affected by the epidemic, its net profit is still as high as 1.876 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.27%.

▲Huali Group listed on the ChiNext of Shenzhen Stock Exchange

Zhang Congyuan was born in the countryside of Yunlin County, Taiwan Province in 1948. His father farmed the fields for a living. He graduated from Chiayi Agricultural School at the age of 18 and joined a shoe factory in Yunlin at the age of 20 as an ordinary administrator. After he became famous, the media interviewed his fellow villagers and classmates in Tainan and talked about his achievements. The most described as “unexpected”.

With management experience in a shoe factory, in the 1980s, Zhang Congyuan decided to start his own shoe factory, Jingxin Shoes. Due to limited funds, he can only buy pig houses and farmhouses as factories. “If I don’t have money at home, I will live a life without money. If people buy lots and buildings, I will buy pig houses and farmhouses in the country.”

With insufficient funds, it is natural not to choose products with high thresholds and difficult production. In an interview with the media, Zhang Congyuan said: “If football shoes and basketball shoes are the first and second profit kings in shoes, vulcanized shoes (canvas shoes) are probably the last one.”

And it is precisely this “least profitable” vulcanized shoe that made him start and gain a foothold.

Because Taiwan is rich in rubber and cheap in materials, if ordinary sports shoes are produced, there is almost no R&D cost; while vulcanized shoe soles need to be cross-linked with sulfur under a certain temperature and pressure environment to make the two strong Combining land together, the quality is not easy to be guaranteed, and many shoe companies have given up.

There is only one logic for Zhang Congyuan to change his original idea and choose to go the opposite way with his peers:

Doing business that others don’t mean less competition. As long as you do a good job, you can survive.

“I didn’t think it would be more difficult if you can only do the leftover orders from others… The point is, do you have the determination to do better than others.” Zhang Congyuan said.

Compared with “Huali”, Zhang Congyuan is better known in Taiwan as his shoe factory “Hongfu”. Hongfu is the world’s second largest shoe factory with 150,000 employees worldwide, and it is also the world’s largest vulcanized shoe factory.

Personal success is inseparable from the creation of the times and the environment. Zhang Congyuan’s story is only a microcosm of the development of the footwear industry in Taiwan.

【Rise】

In 1832, an Irishman immigrated to the United States. When he was a printer in a small town in Massachusetts, he stood in front of the machine every day. Because he felt pain after standing for a long time, he put a rubber pad on the sole of his feet and the pain was significantly reduced. After he got home, he simply fixed the rubber skin to the sole, and rubber-soled shoes were invented.

It is only natural that Taiwan, which has a huge rubber output, has become the “base camp of raw materials” for rubber soles.

During the Second World War, the Japanese established large-scale rubber factories in Taiwan, imported natural rubber from Nanyang, and mass produced products such as tires and rubber shoes.

In 1955, Hollywood star James Dean became popular with the movie “Rebellion Without a Cause”. He wore jeans and white canvas shoes, making canvas shoes (that is, sulfurized shoes) once a symbol of youth rebellion and hippie spirit. All the rage.

▲The image of James Dean wearing canvas shoes

Since then, Converse and Puma have carried out technical research on canvas shoes, through the use of sulfurized steam technology to make the upper and sole have higher strength and elasticity, which makes it possible to mass-produce sulfurized shoes and become popular consumer products.

The earliest companies that produced Puma and Converse were the “Hongfu” of Zhang Congyuan.

In the early 1970s, developed countries in Europe and the United States gradually entered the post-industrial era, and the market was in a highly competitive state. The transfer of manufacturing industries to reduce manufacturing costs became a common outlet for European and American companies. The central region of Taiwan, China, which has cheap labor, has become the “place of heaven,” and the shoe industry has been able to grow rapidly.

In 1971, the number of shoes sold abroad in Taiwan reached 100 million pairs. In 1976, the export sales of the footwear industry in Taiwan surpassed that of Italy, becoming the world’s largest footwear export region. The shoe industry, together with the electronics and textile industries, is believed to have created the economic miracle of Taiwan in the 1970s.

In the 1980s, internationally renowned foundry shoe factories such as Hongfu, Baocheng, Fengtai, Yuqi, Longdian, Qinglu, Kainan, and Jiuxing emerged in Taiwan, and Taiwan also gained the beauty of the “kingdom of shoemaking”. name.

In 1986, the total amount of footwear sold abroad in Taiwan reached its peak, exceeding 800 million pairs. At that time, the global population was approximately 4.9 billion, which means that one out of every six people in the world could wear shoes made in Taiwan.

▲Shoe factories in Taiwan in the 1970s and 1980s

In 1987, the total export value of rubber products in Taiwan was 7.46 billion Taiwan dollars (approximately 287 million U.S. dollars), of which the export value of rubber shoes was 3 billion Taiwan dollars, accounting for almost half.

However, Taiwan’s economy, which relied on the rapid rise of “foundry” in various industries, has gradually unbalanced the industrial structure due to long-term excess output, and at the same time is greatly affected by the export market, which has laid hidden dangers for its subsequent industrial predicament.

In 1988, Taiwan’s economy overheated and the Taiwan dollar’s ​​appreciation against the U.S. dollar accelerated, causing the footwear industry’s exports to suddenly chill. From January to April of this year, the number of shoes exported from Taiwan to the United States decreased by 29% compared with the same period of the previous year.

According to statistics from the Taiwan Shoemaking Association, in 1988 and 1989, more than 600 production lines in Taiwan were discontinued.

Exports are cold, production is trapped, and the “small profits but quick turnover” route is unsustainable. Taiwanese shoe companies, which control more than 80% of the world’s branded shoe production, have set their sights on the other side of the strait.

【migrate】

In the 1990s, many Taiwanese shoe companies moved their factories to the mainland, including Zhang Congyuan’s companies.

He co-founded Xinfeng Group as a joint venture to engage in sports shoes foundry in mainland China. In 1995, the company established its headquarters in Hong Kong and successfully went public. Zhang Congyuan owns 15.7% of the shares.

Cheap and sufficient labor was the advantage of the mainland at that time in attracting shoe companies in Taiwan. Statistics show that in 1987, the wages of shoe-makers in Taiwan were US$1.55/hour, while the wages of shoe-makers in mainland China were only US$1.75/day.

Coupled with the policy advantages of reform and opening up, In a very short period of time, the mainland shoe industry has replicated the glory of the shoe industry in Taiwan.

The two provinces of Guangdong and Fujian, which are the closest to Taiwan, have become destinations for the relocation of the shoe industry in Taiwan. Cities such as Dongguan, Putian, and Jinjiang have become beneficiaries of this wave of industrial relocation.

Take Putian as an example. Before Taiwanese businessmen entered Putian, Putian was already the center of the footwear industry in Fujian Province. In 1986, the total output value of Putian’s shoe leather industry exceeded 100 million yuan, accounting for more than 70% of the province. After Taiwanese businessmen brought in a large number of international orders, it exploded at an astonishing rate of development.

Putian had more than 100 shoe companies in 1993, producing over 100 million pairs of shoes each year; by 1996, Putian’s total output value of the shoe industry had risen to 4.29 billion yuan.

however, The brilliance created by relying on labor advantages and following the foundry model is also short-lived.

To put it bluntly, OEMs still make hard money. According to the survey of the International Consumers Union, the gross profit of the factory accounts for 2% of the cost of a pair of shoes, the labor cost accounts for 0.4%, and the labor cost accounts for 20% of the gross profit of the factory.

The rising cost of raw materials is inevitable, and the factory can only make a fuss on this 20% of labor if it wants to increase its net profit.

Thanks to the regional economic development brought about by the rise of the manufacturing industry, the rising labor cost in the mainland has once again made the foundry inevitably fall into a vicious circle. In 2001, the minimum wage in Fujian Province was 380 yuan/month, while the minimum wage in Vietnam was about 164 yuan/month.

In 2012, the sports shoe giant Adidas announced that it would close its only own factory in China and relocate its production line to Southeast Asia, kicking off a new wave of industrial transfer. Taiwanese shoe companies have also begun to move to Southeast Asia where labor costs are lower.

【future】

Labor costs continue to rise, and shoemaking alone can no longer bring considerable profits.

After Zhang Congyuan’s Xinfeng Group went public, it began to diversify its development and create a number of sports brands, and even increased investment in the real estate industry. The proportion of shoemaking businesses in the overall business has become smaller and smaller.

In July 2013, Xinfeng Group announced that it would sell the entire equity of Yiming Investment for a total consideration of 429 million yuan, and its main business is the manufacture of footwear products.

It was the Zhang Congyuan family who took over. Zhang Congyuan, who started from shoemaking, was obviously not willing to give up his old business that he had accumulated over the years. He renamed the shoemaking business of Xinfeng Group to “Huali” and started to operate independently.

A short time after taking over, the Zhang Congyuan family first acquired 15 Vietnam factories and Dominican factories through the family-controlled Hong Kong company, and the trading business of 24 trading companies, and then acquired 15 companies in Hong Kong, China through the subsidiaries of Huali Co., Ltd. .

At present, the majority of Huali Group’s employees are in northern Vietnam, while the proportion of manufacturing personnel in mainland China and Taiwan is only 0.3%. As of the first half of 2020, the company’s self-produced output totaled 75.4 million pairs, of which 74.61 million pairs were produced in Vietnam and 800,000 pairs were produced in Dominica, each accounting for 98.9% and 1.1% of the total.

▲Development history of Huali Group’s main customers

Zhang Congyuan’s consistent strategy of “small profits but quick turnover” determines that the cheap labor force in Southeast Asia will be the key to Huali’s profit.

In the first half of 2020, Huali’s average sales unit price to Converse is 72.50 yuan/pair, and the average sales unit price to Nike is 80.20 yuan/pair. The other factory is mainly concentrated in Taiwan and the mainland shoe company Winterthur. The unit price to Nike is about 120 to 140 yuan, nearly twice that of Huali.

In terms of output, Huali is also far ahead among the shoe companies in Taiwan. In 2019, the per capita footwear output of Yuyuan, Yuqi, and Fengtai were 929 pairs/year, 927 pairs/year, and 792 pairs/year, respectively, while Huali reached 1,378 pairs/year.

In addition, compared with other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam has the advantages of being close to China, which can effectively save transportation costs and have low import tariffs on European and American countries. This is why Huali chose to locate its factory here.

In 2018, the shoe manufacturing business revenue growth rates of several major shoe companies in Taiwan, Yuyuan, Yuqi, and Winterthur were -3.12%, -3.91%, and 9.41%, respectively, with an average growth rate of 0.79%. The closing achieved a high growth of 23.96%.

From the disclosure of Huali Group’s prospectus, Huali Group has nearly 136,000 employees in 2020, more than 180 million pairs of shoes, operating income of more than 15 billion yuan, and net profit of 1.821 billion yuan.

Huali’s considerable productivity and year-round steady growth in revenue have allowed people to see the amazing resilience of the traditional industry of shoemaking and begin to re-understand the business of “foundry”.

However, everything has two sides, What people see is brilliance, but what they don’t see is crisis.

Under the influence of the epidemic, European and American sports shoe brands have cut orders. The revenue of Huali’s two major customers, Nike and VF, has dropped significantly. The Nike report showed that the net profit in the fourth quarter of 2019 was a direct loss of 5.634 billion yuan; VF revenue also plummeted, and the revenue in the first quarter of 2020 fell by as much as 47.51%.

Misfortune never comes singly, Vietnam, which has an advantage in labor, has also been exposed to a “labor shortage”.

Vietnam Express (VnExpress) pointed out that in Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong Province, the monthly salary of textile and shoe factories, including social insurance and lunch, is between 5 million and 12 million VND, but they are affected by emerging industries such as the Internet. , Even if it pays 15 million (approximately RMB 4,200), it is still difficult to find workers.

At the same time, the emerging economy is surging, which has also accelerated the fleeing of some young people from traditional manufacturing. The prospectus of Huali Group’s listing also shows that the company’s turnover rates in the past three years have been 22.04%, 22.83%, and 27.31%. At least 20% of employees leave each year, and the turnover rate has increased.

Following in the footsteps of the footwear industry in Taiwan, Zhang Congyuan, who started from scratch, relied on the rapid pursuit of cheaper labor and now leads the way as a “dark horse”. However, under the general trend of accelerated disappearance of labor cost advantages, the future challenges will only be More.

Traditional “foundry” is still profitable, but when “low-cost labor” no longer becomes the advantage of the shoe industry, can Taiwanese foundry companies represented by Huali continue their shoemaking kingdom? In other words, whether the dependence on labor can be reduced will largely determine the future of “foundry”.

In fact, Huali is also making plans for its future, which is to upgrade from OEM production to design and OEM production, and gradually has a strong product development and design strength.

The ancient town of Nianbadu is located in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Yes, that’s right! It is Quzhou, which has opened “Global Free Tour” for several consecutive years and is known as the “largest” city in Zhejiang. It is hidden in the deep mountains and valleys of Xianxialing Mountains. It is hailed by some experts and scholars as a “cultural enclave” and “a dream left in the mountains.” Different from the gentle and beautiful Jiangnan water town in our traditional impression, this ancient town has a dangerous terrain and sits at the junction of the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. It is difficult to defend, and the commercial port is prosperous. Historically, it has always been the place where soldiers were stationed in the past and the first town from Fujian to Zhejiang. “Nian Ba ​​Du”, just seeing this name gives people a feeling of being separated from the world. At the end of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, the Huangchao uprising army attacked Fujian and opened up an ancient Xianxia road here, making the small town on the edge of this ancient road also recorded in history. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 44 capitals in southern Zhejiang, and the town ranked 28th, hence the name Nianbadu. Since the Xianxia Ancient Road was the only passage between Fujian and Zhejiang at that time, with the progress of history, it gradually changed from the original military route to the later business route, and the ancient town, as a transportation hub that must be passed on the way, gradually It has become the most prosperous commercial port on the border of the three provinces, and many people have migrated here with their families. As a result, the town now has 130 surnames and 9 dialects among the population of more than 10,000. It has become a unique “ancient town for ordinary people” and “dialect kingdom”. . Since the ancient town is located in Zhejiang, people can’t help but remind people of the scenery of the water village of “Hu Zang Yanpu, furniture painting boat”, which is actually true. The ancient town of Nianbadu, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and prospered in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although the prosperity of the past is no longer there, it still retains the traditional style of the 19th century. The ancient houses of Ming and Qing dynasties with black tiles and blue walls built by the river are well-preserved and scattered, vaguely inlaid between the poetic and painting-like clear water and green mountains. When you walk into the ancient town, you will find that you are walking through an ancient architectural museum, with temples, pavilions, ancient bridges, and archways, which makes people feel that this piece of ancient building with exquisite layout, magnificent scale, unique style and exquisite craftsmanship is in front of you. Group and felt heartfelt admiration. Of course, due to the phenomenon of immigration in history, the various styles of folk customs handed down in the ancient town are also great attractions, such as “Lian Knife Meat”, “Carrying a Literal Ceremony”, Making Flower Lanterns, Walking on Stilts, etc., which have been passed down from generation to generation in the ancient town. The folk customs and customs reflect the ancient cultural customs of the ancient town. So for Nianbadu, as the most special ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of more than 10,000 and more than 130 castes in 9 dialects, would you be willing to learn about it?

Bad cell phone reception Lost in the dead zone

As of: June 8th, 2021 3:59 p.m.

Cell phone reception is still patchy in many rural areas. According to the network agency, more than ten percent of the country’s area is affected. Expansion is often delayed – companies could now face sanctions. The deeper you go into Germany’s rural regions, the worse the cell phone reception. This is the result of a current report by the Federal Network Agency. This is by no means a rare phenomenon. As the report shows, the supply is poor or non-existent on eleven percent of the country’s area. However, complete dead zones are really rare: Cell phone users, regardless of the provider, have no reception at all on just 0.3 percent of the area in Germany – they are “areas that are not provided with any technology”. This proportion is highest in Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate with 0.8 percent. In eight of the 16 federal states it is zero.

Annoying “gray spots”

However, 3.8 percent of the country’s area is referred to as so-called “white spots” in the report. In these areas, reception is only possible in the age-old 2G cellular standard. This standard is too slow for modern, complex mobile radio applications such as videos. 7.2 percent of the area are considered “gray spots”. Only one of the three German cellular networks, Telekom, Vodafone or Telefónica Deutschland, can be received there in the 4G standard. Anyone who is a customer of another network is left behind. Gray spots are astonishingly widespread: In Baden-Württemberg the proportion is ten percent, in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate it is 9.9 percent. Bavaria is fourth from bottom with 9.2 percent.

Industry points to high costs

In the Internet age, stable cell phone reception across the board is considered crucial for the development of rural areas. The flow of data is also becoming increasingly important for farmers in the fields, forest workers and hikers. The data from the Federal Network Agency show how great the need for expansion is. The telecommunications industry points to the high costs incurred in rural expansion. The network operators are now cooperating with each other to fill the gaps. In addition, there is a new state “mobile radio infrastructure company” that wants to use funding to enable radio locations where economic operation is not worthwhile. In the future, it is also planned to map 5G coverage and the main points of disconnections in voice telephony in a suitable form.

Main traffic routes not fully supplied

The report by the Federal Network Agency also deals with the issue of network supply along the main transport routes. Since the beginning of 2020, there should be 4G reception everywhere on motorways and ICE routes. However, 100 percent coverage has not yet been achieved. In the case of the motorways, the degree of coverage is between 95.4 and 99 percent, depending on the company, and between 94.4 and 98.2 percent for the railways, writes the Federal Network Agency. After all, the supply along the main traffic routes has been improved.

Fines not excluded

The authority refers to a total of around 550 locations where the companies were unable to ensure the required network supply in good time. “The examination has shown that there are cases of actual and / or legal impossibility at around 20 planned locations. The majority of the cases are temporary delays,” it says. The Federal Network Agency is currently examining possible sanctions against the mobile network operators. It is crucial here whether the delays were caused by the mobile network operator – for example due to late planning of the location – or by third parties, for example due to long building permit procedures or late cancellations by landlords. If the network operator is responsible for the delay, there is a risk of fines.

The victim said that on June 18, 2020, he had invested in GBhub Company and was introduced to this business as a partner of… Google. The reason is that after consulting and researching, this retail investor saw that GBhub Company has a logo similar to Google’s logo, and there are many websites associated with the “giant” of technology Google. Therefore, Mr. Du trusted him, so he invested without thinking much. To open an ID (account) to log into the company’s website, Mr. Du must pay an account activation fee and receive weekly interest.

However, up to now, GBhub Company has not fulfilled any promises, only opening GBCloudbank and allowing investors to withdraw money in the first month. After that, this account… does not allow withdrawal anymore. For example, investors deposit 10,000 USD, then they will receive interest of 40% of the deposited amount. The next week, they paid $6,000 again, and got a 40% interest again. The third time, they have to enter 10 thousand USD, this time they can withdraw 40% of the amount paid. The fourth time, they paid another 10 thousand USD and the company… locked the phone. GBhub . Company’s “explosive” advertisement From January 2021 up to now, virtual currency participants have not been able to withdraw a single coin from the bank portal and were also emailed by a representative of Google Vietnam “warning about abuse of power and spreading fake logo images”. by Google”.

Indeed, it is hard not to be beautiful in places with karst landforms.

As the traveler’s footsteps get deeper, everyone finds that most of the autonomous regions are covered by karst landforms. Guangxi In fact, the mountains and rivers that are more beautiful than Guilin actually have “mountains”!

What is Karst?

The professional term for karst landforms is actually “karst landforms”, that is, the general term for the surface and underground forms formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks by water with dissolving power.

It sounds convoluted, but when it comes to the scenery we can encounter during our travels, those that are enough to amaze us Peak forest, Tiankeng, karst cave, underground river, waterfall Wait, most of them are created by this landform, especially in Guangxi, where the highly developed karst landform will always be the absolute protagonist.

Baise

Baise, who has successfully broken the circle because of the “Roasted Pig Eyes” in the gourmet documentary “A Skewer of Life”, has Jingxi, Leye The area where the two great geological wonders gather can be called the most amazing place among the “Big Three Karsts” in Guangxi except Guilin.

// Aibu Waterfalls //

In Jingxi County, the beauty of the number of waterfalls formed by the topography is difficult to describe in words, and more importantly, most of the scenery here does not require tickets!

Aibu Waterfalls is the most anticipated place. The source of the waterfall is the confluence of the Longtan River and Equan River, which became the largest river in Jingxi. Due to the changeable mountain topography, the large topographical drop, and the rapid beaches, many large and small rivers have formed along the river in Aibu. Waterfall group.

The main body is several beautiful and magnificent waterfalls such as Aibu, Matun, and Huize, which are only 600 meters apart, with distinct layers and extraordinary beauty.

// Psychic Grand Canyon //

The Tongling Grand Canyon is also one of the most famous natural scenery in Jingxi. The canyon is connected by Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels, and it feels like exploring the unknown world while walking.

The canyon was originally a blind valley. Affected by geological movement, the top of the blind valley collapsed, forming a large skylight, surrounded by steep cliffs and spectacular momentum. The canyon presents a vigorous and vigorous scene, where many rare primitive plants grow wildly.

With a drop of 188 meters and the highest single-level drop in Asia, the psychic waterfall suddenly appeared, and the huge water potential gradually disappeared in the mountain, mysterious and shocking.

In addition, the “Ishii Cave Sky” is also a major feature of the canyon. In a valley, you can see ancient cliff burials, ancient stone ramparts, waterfalls in the cave, underground rivers, canyon streams, as well as wonderfully shaped stalactites and underground springs. Other landscapes can be called a karst museum.

// Sandie Ridge Waterfall //

On the way to Jiuzhou from the Tongling Grand Canyon, you will encounter Sandieling Waterfall. This waterfall, praised by the ancients as having the appearance of “the stars falling down nine days”, is like strips of jade falling down from the sky.

In the rainy season, when the water is full, the waterfall shook for several miles, splashing like smoke and mist, floating up to a hundred meters away, but its beauty is still highlighted by “show”. What is even more rare is to park the car on the side of the road. You can see the full view of Sandieling Waterfall from a distance, and it is already very pleasant to see such a spectacle on the side of the road.

// Erlang Waterfall //

In the Erlang Waterfall in the mountains, the multi-level waterfall group presents another different beauty. Compared with Aibu Waterfall, Erlang Waterfall has a slightly higher drop, but the water flow is slower, and it will show different effects when the upstream water volume is different.

The waterfall is located in the middle of the two mountains, and there is a Longmen stone arch bridge above. The water surface under the bridge is slightly open, and the water flow is still not slow.

Under the cover of dense vegetation on both sides, the turbulent water surface glows with white light, making it feel like a secret place among people.

// Equan //

Equan, one of the three famous springs in the southwest, not only has beautiful water color, but also has important significance to Guangxi.

Equan is the source of Detian Waterfall, the largest transnational waterfall in Asia. The river that originated here has also become an important source of water for many waterfalls. Of course, Equan itself is also extremely beautiful.

When it is calm and windless, distant mountains, trees, and white clouds all show their reflections in the goose spring.

The clear water of the spring is also amazing, the water is clear and the bottom is visible, and the swimming of water plants and fish is also clearly visible. The karst landforms are also peculiarly bluish from a distance. The beauty of the Equan landscape deserves more attention. .

// Quyang Lake //

Among the mountains composed of karst landforms, artificially constructed reservoirs and lakes can also have incomparable beauty.

Quyang Lake is such an artificial lake. There are more than 10 large and small peaks scattered in the lake, surrounded by rolling peaks, and the lake is a newly built cycling lane.

Ma honeycomb users @婷仔_dinhoidinh Described here as “the lake is full of blue waves, the farmland is a hundred acres on the shore, the sea of ​​clouds in the sky is churning.”

Lakes, farmland, villages, karst hills, and the roads that connect everything together are an integral part of this painting. They are indispensable, and even standing in a daze by the lake is worthy of the passage of time.

// Old State //

Jiuzhou, 8 kilometers away from Jingxi County, is a microcosm of the landscape and pastoral landscape. It is known as the “living museum of the Zhuang people” and is also the hometown of hydrangea. Almost all local men, women and children can make hydrangea.

Strolling in the ancient town of Jiuzhou, on both sides are houses with unique Zhuang characteristics, blue-gray brick walls, wooden fences, and red lanterns hanging high under the eaves.

There is a sea of ​​golden flowers outside the town, and behind the half-human sunflowers, the karst mountains seem to be softer.

// Yazawa Terraces //

People who have lived by the mountains for generations cannot do without the terraces. Guangxi has not only the Guilin Longji, but also the Bazae terraces on the border between China and Vietnam.

Compared with the Longji terraces, the Baze terraces are more graceful. Not all peaks and valleys are made up of terraces, but the lowlands are used as terraces, and the surrounding karst peaks maintain the original landscape.

The terraced fields are harvested from September to October. Of course, you can go as early as possible. After the eleventh holiday, almost all the terraced fields have been harvested, and the landscape is greatly reduced.

// Dashiwei Tiankeng //

Let us move our sights from Jingxi, where there are dense waterfalls, to Leye. This small city known as the “tiankeng” is densely covered with 28 tiankeng wonders within 20 square kilometers. Looking at the world, there is no rival.

As a representative of karst landforms, when Tiankeng suddenly appears in front of you, you will be shocked by nature’s extraordinary craftsmanship. Of course, if there is only one chance to see the tiankeng, then the Dashiwei tiankeng group cannot be missed.

The protagonist Dashiwei Tiankeng is 613 meters deep, 600 meters wide from east to west, and 420 meters wide from north to south. The rare landforms make the bottom of the tiankeng a unique “submarine cloud”.

Down to the bottom of the Tiankeng, the largest underground virgin forest in the world discovered so far is here, exuding the mystery and beauty of the unknown world everywhere.

// piercing tiankeng //

Chuandong Tiankeng is also within the scope of Dashiwei Tiankeng Group, too The only tiankeng in Leye where you can enter and exit the bottom of the pit through a karst cave .

The Tongdong Tiankeng is polygonal and is surrounded by 6 mountain peaks. It is the Tiankeng with the most peaks in the Dashiwei Tiankeng Group. On the southwest side, there is a karst cave that directly leads to the bottom of the pit-Chuandong, hence the name of the Tiankeng.

At the top of the hall-like cave at the southwest end of the pit, there is a small skylight, like a crescent inlaid on the ceiling of the cave. A beam of light shoots down from a height of 108 meters, reflecting the wideness and emptiness of the cave hall.

// Luomei Lotus Cave //

In the Dashiwei Tiankeng group, the Luomei Lotus Cave has been completed.

Luomei Lianhua Cave is about 970 meters long, about 10 meters at the narrowest point, about 50 meters at the widest point, about 15-20 meters high, and the bottom area of ​​the cave is about 20,000 square meters.

It is not so famous even in Guangxi, but there are 296 “lotus basins” in the cave, which is the largest group of lotus basins in the world. The “king of lotus basins” in the cave is about 9 meters long, which is worthy of being called. best in the world.

// Huomai Village//

Huomai Village is a small village built halfway up a mountain. There are only 34 families in the village, but it has become a symbol of Leye’s outdoor paradise.

Thanks to “One Mountain and Two Tiankengs”, the nearby Huomai Village Fengzidang Tiankeng with Dacao Tiankeng It is a tiankeng that attracts many outdoor enthusiasts to visit. The sight of “one hole and three tiankeng” is very rare.

The Red Rose Hall at the bottom of Dacao Tiankeng is the world’s second largest underground cave hall in China.

Inside Fengzidang Tiankeng

Here, you can find a professional outdoor guide to lead a team into the bottom of the tiankeng for a deep cavern, established for more than 20 years “Flying Cat Expedition” It is the most well-known outdoor team in the local area.

Hechi

Among the “Big Three Karst” in Guangxi, Hechi must also be indispensable.The development of karst landscapes here may need to be further developed, but “Dong Ba Feng” area with Dahua, Tian’e, Nandan The landscapes of other places are still the top in the world.

// Hechi Small Three Gorges //

It is also the “Xiaoxiaozhupai River Middle Reaches”, but there are only a handful of tourists encountered in the Small Three Gorges of Hechi, and they even have the opportunity to enjoy the valley scenery exclusively.

Take a boat through the valley formed by the karst landforms, and the tour time is about one and a half hours.

On both sides of the strait, there are green mountains and green waters, and three “canyons” landscapes, stalactite landscapes, and Zhuang villages can be seen during the sailing. The villages are built in the “alley” along the river, and the three-five fishing boats are parked on the shore, like a paradise.

// Sanmenhai //

Sanmenhai is located in Feng, the “Dongba Feng”, which is Fengshan County.

It is recognized by the World Cavern Association as the only scenic spot for aquatic tiankengs in the world. There are seven karst skylights developed here, and a bright lake and a dark lake with an area of ​​several square kilometers formed by the outlet section of the Poxin Underground River are strung together. .

At present, there are three skylights open and available for visitors to visit. There are natural passages for entering by boat. The boat slowly advances. After entering the cave, you can see a large number of biological caves and vertical clusters of stalactites, which can be harvested in the mountains. There is a mysterious experience of “the sea, the sea has a door”.

// Aviary Rock //

Similar to Sanmenhai, Bainiaoyan is also a cave that can only be explored by boat.

In the cave, there are countless cross-channels, dense like a honeycomb, without knowing where to go. The whole cave is like a gorgeously decorated and unpredictable underwater dragon palace.

Because the peculiar sight resembles Guilin Reed Flute Rock, and because it is not possible to visit by boat, it is also called “Water Reed Flute Rock”.

// Crystal Palace //

Even after seeing many caves, many people will still be amazed by the Bama Crystal Palace. The edelweiss hairs and curling crystal needles in the caves have merged into the world’s only crystal flower kingdom caused by non-gravity water, which makes people feel crystal clear, hence the name.

There is no more special way to appreciate the Crystal Palace, but the unique thing is that the strangely shaped lava is very close to the tourists.

Whether it’s the fresh, transparent mushroom-like crystals growing on the ground, or the white, tender, slender, curled crystal balls, crystal flowers, and crystal grasses hanging in the air, or the white and flawless crystal grass that grows wildly between the sky and the earth. Yuzhu and Yusun can all have a good time seeing clearly.

// Panyang River //

Panyang River flows through Fengshan, Bama, Dahua, Sanmenhai, Bainiaoyan, and the scenery is actually closely related to Panyang River.

The existence of this river connects Baimo Cave, Bainiao Rock, Shifu Lake and many other landscapes. In fact, even if it is just on the riverside, this classic karst pastoral landscape is beautiful enough.

// Baping Terraces //

In Hechi, there is such a hidden terrace. 30 kilometers north of Nandan County, in Baping Village, this terraced field with an area of ​​about 10,000 mu has its own uniqueness.

Baping terraces belong to low altitude and low drop terraces, with gentle gradients, soft lines of stalks, and layers of terraces, seeming to come from rows of waves, and then solidify in an instant to become today’s terraces.

The rape blossoms in early spring in March, the mirror field after irrigation in late spring and April, the jade field after seedling planting in early summer and late May, and the golden rice waves in early autumn and late August are all worth seeing in this terraced field~

Chongzuo

The last member of the “Karst Big Three” is undoubtedly Chongzuo. Thanks to the presence of film and television scenes and Detian Waterfall, Chongzuo has become increasingly popular, and starting from Nanning by self-driving, Chongzuo also has considerable transportation advantages.

// Detian Transnational Waterfall //

Even if you have seen so many waterfalls in Jingxi, the appearance of Detian Waterfall will still make people’s eyes shine. This Asia’s largest transnational waterfall is located on the border of China and Vietnam, and is connected to the Banyo Waterfall in Vietnam.

The 70-meter-high drop is buffered by the twists and turns of the mountain to form a three-level waterfall. The water potential is quite astonishing, and it is a “monster” level waterfall on the border.

Of course, just looking at the shore is not enough fun. You can climb down the sightseeing route and take a bamboo raft to the middle of the river. It is even more exciting to see the waterfall up close. The beauty and magnificence coexist, which is the most exciting of Detian Falls. Magical place.

// Mingshi Pastoral //

In fact, before “Flower Thousand Bones” was filmed in Mingshi Pastoral, it has been filmed by countless film and television dramas, especially TVB dramas.

Mingshi pastoral needs to be entered by boat. It is similar to the landscape of Guilin. There are peanuts and fruits on the bamboo raft. During the 50-minute boat tour, the staff will be as interested and sing folk songs, and of course they will explain the surroundings. The peculiar names of various peaks and the customs of the Zhuang nationality.

It is popular along the river, and flowers often bloom on both sides of the bank during the four seasons. When the kapok blooms, both sides are full of fiery red kapok, which is also a unique painting.

// Longzhou Zuojiang //

Zuojiang has the reputation of “the Lijiang River in the north and Zuojiang River in the south” since ancient times. After visiting Zuojiang, the great traveler Xu Xiake personally certified that “Yangshuo mountains are near the river, and there is no rock on this shore. Without the wonder of the stone, Yangshuo’s painting of the mountains is inferior.”

The entire Zuojiang Scenic Area is very large, and you can choose a certain area to visit. If time is limited, the round trip from Shangjin Tourist Wharf to the Baojianfeng River in Xiangshui is exactly 2 hours, mainly focusing on karst topography and river reflections. The scenery is worth a visit.

There is also a Zuojiang Leaning Tower, also known as Guilong Tower, in the Zuojiang River Basin, located 2 kilometers north of Chongzuo City. This Leaning Tower was originally built in the Ming Dynasty and has been rebuilt several times.

The special feature is that it is carefully designed by the tower builders in consideration of factors such as Jiangxin wind and foundation when building the tower, and it is artificially built.

// White-headed Langur Sanctuary //

The karst landscape in Chongzuo is still the home of a group of “Stone Mountain Elves”. The Chongzuo White-headed Langur National Nature Reserve is one of the main distribution areas of the former White-headed Langur.

The white-headed langurs live in semi-rock and semi-arboreal, light body, slender limbs, and elegant behavior. The karst mountains also provide them with an important habitat.

The reserve is open for free. The white-headed langurs go down the mountain every day to find food. The probability of seeing them is greater in the morning and after 4 pm. If you also plan to observe this wild elves, remember to bring your telescope and telephoto lens.

Your knowledge of Guangxi’s landscape,

Has it been refreshed again?

Poland’s high inflation With price jumps from the pandemic

Status: 08.06.2021 8:12 a.m.

The Polish inflation rate is well above the German rate – now more than five percent. In many ways, this is a consequence of the pandemic, experts say. But when will the central bank react? From Martin Adam, ARD studio Warsaw The pandemic is not over yet when another topic is pushing the front pages of Polish newspapers. “Why so expensive?” Asks the “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The “Rzeczpospolita” replies: “We pay for growth with inflation.” In fact, what is happening in Poland is what financial experts in Germany are warning of: the inflation rate is rising – currently to a ten-year high of well over five percent, according to the standardized European calculation. That is one of the highest values ​​in the European Union. For comparison: In Germany, the inflation rate was 2.5 percent in May .

Devaluation clearly noticeable

The devaluation of the Polish zloty is clearly noticeable, explains financial market expert Pawel Majtkowski. “Compared to last year, wages have risen by ten percent, but the prices of fruit and vegetables by 20 percent. So we are already feeling the price increases,” he says. “In addition, there are higher production costs, transport costs and the costs of higher wages.” All of this is reflected in prices. Inflation is most evident in the case of fuels. According to the national statistics office, gasoline and diesel for private cars have become more than 30 percent more expensive within a month.

“Polish economy is doing well”

But don’t panic, it’s all normal and a consequence of the corona pandemic, explains economic advisor Lidia Adamska. “Inflation in Poland reflects processes that we see in the post-Covid landscape around the world. But the Polish economy is doing well,” she says. “The gross domestic product is growing, the employment and unemployment figures are also optimistic.” There are various factors that are currently weighing on the Polish currency, only some actually have to do with the corona pandemic: The low interest rates, which are supposed to stabilize the economy, make money cheap. It is available in large quantities, which always carries the risk of being devalued. After the rapid slump last year, crude oil prices are also picking up again, making gasoline and diesel more expensive. In addition, there are higher food prices because Polish agriculture has not recovered from the past two years of drought. A bad harvest means high prices. With restaurants and hotels that are slowly reopening in Poland, demand is also increasing.

Raising the minimum wage is having an effect

The political decision at the beginning of the year to increase the gross minimum wage to 18.30 zloty per hour, the equivalent of around 4.10 euros, also has an impact. This is supposed to distribute the Polish economic boom more fairly. However, the service industry in particular, which has been shaken by the corona lockdown, is passing the higher wage costs through to customers. The bottom line is that everything will be expensive. But it will certainly be countered soon, suspects the economics expert Ignacy Morawski. “In a sense, inflation is the price of low unemployment,” he says. “I suspect the central bank will soon raise interest rates to control inflation.” When exactly this will happen and how far inflation will rise, hardly anyone in Poland has yet wanted to make a forecast.

After Hongmeng, Huawei has “enlarged its tricks”? According to the media quoted Huawei’s official news, on June 17, Huawei will host the “5G+AR” global online and offline summits, uniting global operators and partners to jointly promote the prosperity of the 5G+AR ecosystem. What exactly is 5G+AR?

Lead Apple!Huawei AR engine covers 500 million devices

As the latest generation of mobile communication technology, 5G does not need to be introduced. As for AR, the most intuitive explanation is: the integration of the real world and the virtual world. Through AR, people can obtain information and interact with it more conveniently and intuitively.

So what is “5G+AR”? According to Huawei’s introduction, as the 5G ecosystem gradually matures, how to increase the application of 5G technology in reality and in specific industries has become a new development focus; in addition, as various new infrastructures including 5G have begun to take shape in recent years, AR The industry has also developed rapidly and has gradually penetrated into various core scenarios. simply put, 5G+AR is a “strong alliance” in the new era.

In addition, Huawei’s layout for AR is also in line with the country’s “appeal”-the relevant documents recently released by the Ministry of China Information Technology mentioned that in the 5G Internet era, Haier uses 5G, AR and other technologies to achieve on-site auxiliary assembly of precision industrial equipment. Good “precedent”.

In fact, as early as 2018, Huawei has begun to deploy in the AR industry-released the universal AR engine “Huawei AR Engine”; as of August 2020, this engine has covered 500 million Huawei mobile terminal devices. In the words of Huawei’s consumer business AR/VR product technical director, Huawei will firmly promote the development of AR technology and ecology in the future.

It should be noted that not only Huawei, but also overseas technology giants such as Google and Microsoft have already begun to deploy in the AR field, and they have all launched second-generation AR glasses. Apple analysts also predict that AR will become a major trend in the technology sector in the next 10 years, but it will not be until 2022 that Apple plans to launch its first AR headset. In other words, in the AR field, Huawei is one step ahead of Apple.

Over 1,000 manufacturers join!Hongmeng sets a new goal: to cover 360 million equipment by the end of the year

Huawei’s “5G+AR” is about to debut, and Hongmeng, which was born one step ahead, is also “opening all the way.” According to the person in charge of Huawei, as of now, More than 300 application and service providers, and more than 1,000 hardware equipment manufacturers have joined Hongmeng, These service providers and manufacturers are involved in multiple fields including smart home, travel, and audio-visual entertainment scenarios, and can basically meet the mainstream needs of current Internet users.

Earlier, Huawei had set the goal of “Hongmeng will be equipped with more than 300 million devices by the end of 2021.” Seeing that the team joining Hongmeng has grown stronger and stronger, Huawei Software CEO Wang Chenglu also recently said, By 2021, Hongmeng may be equipped with 360 million devices. This directly reflects Hongmeng’s “confidence” and “ambition”.

In the face of the turbulent Hongmeng, Google and Apple can’t sit still. On the day Hongmeng was born, Google reported that Fuchsia OS was about to be launched. Some people in the industry even speculated that “Google is paving the way for the abandonment of the Android system.” There is also news from Apple that it is about to launch home OS.
