Spectacular comeback The new boom in the solar industry

As of: 06/24/2021 8:03 a.m.

After years of decline and bankruptcies, the solar industry in Germany is experiencing a comeback. Even solar cells are being produced again in this country. Help is also coming from the coalition.

From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de

While the expansion of wind turbines is stalling, photovoltaic systems are enjoying ever greater popularity. In a tender in March, the Federal Network Agency was literally overrun with applications. There were more than twice as many interested parties as expected. Much to the delight of the Union and the SPD, who are agreed on an immediate program for energy and climate protection shortly before the summer break . After the federal cabinet yesterday given the green light has, the package should to be passed by the Bundestag today . According to this, the tender volumes for photovoltaic systems will be increased by 4.1 gigawatts to six gigawatts from next year. In the future, the municipalities will also be able to participate financially in photovoltaic areas. Until now, this was only possible with wind turbines. The Union and the SPD could not agree on a solar obligation for new buildings. Consumer advocates and the Haus und Grund association had heavily criticized the plans.

Mega boom in the solar industry

Solar systems were already very popular last year. According to the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW), a quarter more solar systems were installed on German roofs than in the previous year, exactly 184,000, with an output of around 4.9 gigawatts. No other form of energy grew faster in power generation. However, pull-forward effects probably also contributed to this. In the spring there was still uncertainty about the continued existence of state subsidies, plus the temporarily reduced value added tax.

Almost every tenth kilowatt hour consumed this year comes from solar energy in this country. The Federal Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) is already demanding that new solar systems with an output of at least ten gigawatts (GW) be installed every year by 2030. “We need a solar boom,” said BDEW chairwoman Kerstin Andreae recently to “Handelsblatt”.

Again solar cells from Bitterfeld

The domestic production of solar modules is celebrating an unexpected comeback these days. Solar cells are being produced again in Germany, in what was once the “Solar Valley” near Bitterfeld in Saxony-Anhalt. The Swiss company Meyer Burger recently opened a new plant here, which will be ramped up these days.

“At the historic Solar Valley solar location, we are setting a milestone on Europe’s path to more strategic independence in the key technology of photovoltaics,” said CEO Gunter Erfurt at the opening on May 18th. In the highly automated operation, up to 200,000 solar cells are expected to roll off the production line every day. In a first step, an annual capacity of 400 megawatts is planned. It should be five gigawatts by 2026.

Next door, the solar company Q-Cells, which belongs to the South Korean Hanwha Group, is expanding its location in Bitterfeld and intends to invest a good 140 million euros in the research and development of new, low-resource solar modules by 2023. Q-Cells was once one of the largest photovoltaic manufacturers in Europe, but was ousted by Chinese competition and had to file for bankruptcy in 2012 before the Koreans bought it.

The lucrative business with solar parks

In fact, the manufacture of solar panels plays a rather subordinate role in the rebirth of the industry. The most important players in the new boom are now operators and developers of solar parks, above all the Hamburg company Encavis, which has now been included in the MDAX share index. The electricity provider, formerly known as “Capital Stage AG”, acquires and operates solar power plants and (onshore) wind parks in Germany and other European countries – with success, as the latest outlook shows. The result this year is expected to increase more than twice as fast as in 2020. Sales are expected to grow to over 320 million euros, thanks to two newly connected solar parks in Spain with a maximum production capacity of 200 and 300 megawatts each. The regular income that such a business model generates has not escaped other entrepreneurs.

Is a new IPO imminent with BEE?

Five years ago, a dozen Encavis managers decided to start their own company. With financial help from the entrepreneurial family Wacker (Wacker Chemie) and the former publishing family Jahr, the wind and solar park operator Blue Elephant Energy (BEE) was created. The company controls systems with a combined output of 1.1 gigawatts. Projects of a similar size are being planned. BEE achieved an operating result (Ebitda) of more than 60 million euros last year with a turnover of over 80 million euros. Because of the unusually high margin and the industry’s growth prospects, there is even speculation that the Hamburg-based company will go public. The company could earn 150 million euros, insiders reported to the Reuters news agency. After that, the issue could be implemented this summer, if possible in July. The company does not comment on the speculation. But company boss Felix Goedhart is quoted by the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung” as saying: “Our operating profit margin of 74 percent with low risk should be interesting for investors.”

Solar power from Mecklenburg for VW

Climate protection and the goal of the EU Commission to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 are generating more and more alliances between a wide variety of companies. The Hamburg asset manager Luxcara has acquired a solar park in Mecklenburg and commissioned the energy giant RWE to market it. RWE will supply the car manufacturer Volkswagen with electricity from next year. The system has a total capacity of 170 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which makes it one of the largest solar projects in Germany

“My daughter Liu Chang often tells new employees that the most right and difficult thing I have done in the past ten years is to step down from the throne of the “king” and become thousands of strugglers.” On June 8 At the opening ceremony of the 21st annual meeting of the 2021 Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum, New Hope Group Chairman Liu Yonghao said.

Liu Yonghao said that in the past, he was called the “Quail King” and the “Feed King”, but there was only one King. In people’s minds, he was the King to achieve the best. But the king has the limitation of the times, and this limitation emphasizes the authority of the individual. The problem for most companies now is to activate the organization and to drive the team. We must mobilize the enthusiasm of more managers and create an organization where everyone is vying to be an entrepreneur.

He pointed out that The great changes brought about by the Internet have made people realize that large companies have to struggle and small companies have opportunities. The key is who meets their needs and who solves the pain points. “So we turned the new hope into a’platform’ to empower, and we changed the rules of the game to’see who contributes the most and who lives for a long time’ instead of’seeing who is the king’. We hope that in the new Under the system and framework of hope, more subdivisions of chickens, cows, and unicorns will emerge.” Liu Yonghao said.

Liu Yonghao explained that for these three species, Jifeng is more like small and beautiful small and micro enterprises and family workshops. Although they are not large in scale, they are diligent and diligent and strive for perfection; Niutou represents those who silently contribute and graze and milk. Struggling entrepreneurs, through their struggle to achieve a certain scale of business, they have become an important force to promote the progress of the industry; and unicorns are familiar to everyone, referring to those technology-based potential stocks with a valuation of more than 1 billion US dollars.

“Jifeng represents the pioneer of small and micro enterprises, Niutou represents the power of transformation and upgrading, and unicorns represent the future technology trend. The tens of thousands of Chinese companies led by them constitute a wonderful landscape.”

What kind of company is this new hope now? Liu Yonghao replied that New Hope is shifting from one company to one platform, hoping to provide different types of companies and entrepreneurs with different support and empowerment, and help them play on their own tracks

Increasing demand worldwide Oil price close to $ 100?

Status: 23.06.2021 3:10 p.m.

Oil is more expensive than it has been in two years. Experts warn of a supply crisis: The prices for crude oil and thus also gasoline, kerosene and heating oil could soon rise much higher.

From Angela Göpfert, tagesschau.de

Oil prices hit new multi-year highs this week. For the first time in two years, a barrel (159 liters) of the North Sea Brent cost more than $ 75 again. For a barrel of the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) variety, more than 73 dollars were paid on the market – the highest amount since October 2018. Rising oil prices – something that businesses and consumers may need to get used to. According to some experts, the new multi-year highs in oil prices, which many consumers are already feeling painfully at gas stations or when buying heating oil, are just the beginning of a longer upward trend in the oil market.

Analysts predict rising oil prices

The experts at the US investment bank Goldman Sachs expect the Brent price to rise to $ 80 this summer. But that is not the end of the story. An oil price of $ 100 is a “real possibility”. Alex Sanna, top oil trader at Glencore, the world’s largest commodity trading group, also said, according to the Financial Times, that an oil price of $ 100 is becoming increasingly likely.

The experts at JPMorgan even see a new oil super cycle looming and recently renewed their forecast of an oil price of $ 190 in 2025.

Demand congestion as a price driver

Francisco Blanch, raw materials expert at Bank of America, may not look quite that far into the future. For this he has the most precise 100-dollar forecast ready: the oil price could crack the round mark as early as 2022. The market hardly changes on the supply side – and this in turn is offset by an immense backlog of demand. It is easy to explain where this backlog of demand comes from: Just as many private households restricted their consumption during the pandemic, so too many companies put the necessary investments aside. Now that the global vaccination campaign is gaining momentum, at least in the major industrialized countries, consumers, companies and economies have a lot to catch up on.

Delta variant is a risk factor

The more relaxed Corona situation and the awakening global economy are leading to higher demand for crude oil, gasoline, diesel – and kerosene. Oil expert Blanch sees the rising travel industry as a major price driver.

The delta variant of the virus from India, which could lead to a further tightening of the corona measures, is currently also posing a risk to the economy.

Signal of a shortage of supply

In search of signs of whether demand is actually exceeding supply at the moment, it is worth taking a look at the market for so-called oil futures. Current oil futures contracts are quoted there higher than contracts with delivery at a later point in time. Such a constellation, referred to by experts as “backwardation”, is rather unusual and a clear indication of fear of scarcity – “and thus for further rising prices”, as market expert Robert Rethfeld from Wellenreiter-Invest emphasizes.

A price corrective called fracking

The rising prices should actually make re-entry into the oil market attractive for the US shale industry. In the past, the US frackers acted as flexible price correctors on the oil market: If prices rose, more shale oil was drilled in the short term, supply increased, prices fell again.

As a reminder, the last time oil traded above $ 100 was in 2014, when a rapidly growing supply from the US fracking industry brought an abrupt end to the last oil super cycle.

Sustainability trend slows US oil industry

But this mechanism doesn’t seem to work that well anymore. This is due on the one hand to the new US President Joe Biden, who imposed a stop on oil and gas drilling on state-owned land in January, and on the other hand to the global trend towards sustainable investment.

“The number of active US oil wells is increasing only slowly,” emphasizes wave rider expert Rethfeld. “The investors do not want to see an expansion of the production capacities at the moment, but instead demand investments in renewable energies.”

Iran as a risk factor

The production countries of the OPEC + oil cartel, especially Saudi Arabia and Russia, could benefit from the West’s climate policy. It remains to be seen how willing they are to expand production to fill the void left by the US oil industry.

Especially since there are supply risks on the part of OPEC: “After the election of an ultra-conservative cleric as the new president, Iran will have a hard time overturning US sanctions and increasing oil exports,” said Eugen Weinberg, raw materials expert at Commerzbank .

Inflation Risks Before Revaluation?

Should the oil price actually rise further towards 100 dollars, this would inevitably lead to a reassessment of the inflation risks in the financial markets, since the oil price is one of the main drivers of consumer prices.

Just yesterday, Jerome Powell, head of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), told the House of Representatives budget committee again that the Fed was considering the current high inflation rates a temporary phenomenon considered. However, market expert Rethfeld emphasizes: “Any oil price above $ 100 would suggest to the public that Powell is wrong.”

Luxury department store in Paris La Samaritaine shines in new splendor

Status: 23.06.2021 2:09 p.m.

It is one of the most famous shopping addresses in the world: La Samaritaine in Paris. The legendary department store was lavishly renovated for 16 years. Today it opened its doors again.

From Stefanie Markert, ARD studio Paris

“O lala!” – Emmanuel Macron is visibly impressed by the sight: Gustave Eiffel’s gray-blue iron staircase spanning five floors with 16,000 gold leaves has been originally restored. Many of the 1700 employees of the department store stand on the landing and applaud the president. He accepted Bernard Arnault’s invitation. The billionaire and boss of the luxury goods company LVMH owns the Samaritaine. He renovated the building complex for 750 million euros and is now attracting customers: “Perhaps you can also shop on the Internet. But there you can’t touch the products, you can’t see them, and you can’t have lunch in such a wonderful atmosphere.”

A water pump as namesake

In the Samaritaine, this is most spectacularly done in the “Voyage” restaurant under the historic glass dome, surrounded by a 115-meter-long peacock frieze in Art Nouveau style. But actually shopping is hip here, emphasizes Head of Marketing Nathalie Montaldier: “You are on the fourth floor – all women’s shoes, from sneakers to luxury. The special thing: when you try them on you have a fantastic view of the Gothic cathedral Saint-Germain-L’Auxerrois . A unique experience.” In 1870 Ernest Cognacq founded the Samaritaine. Before that he had sold fabrics on the bridge next door – the famous Pont Neuf -, then rented a corner café and expanded his business little by little. At that time the first Parisian water pump stood on the Pont Neuf, and it was called “la Samaritaine” – the Samaritan woman. The pump gave the store its name. Today, historical commercials flicker there on old TVs:

Monsieur wants something?

Yes, nails.

We dont have.

An alligator clip.

Neither clamp nor crocodile.

Haven’t you read the name of our store?

No.

This is not the Samaritaine.

Ah, I see – you can find everything in the Samaritaine.

In the Parisian luxury department store you will find one thing above all: French “savoir vivre”. Image: Stefanie Markert / ARD-Studio Paris

A hymn to Paris

The house no longer lives up to this claim, says manager Eleonore de Boysson, but: “You can find all of Paris in the Samaritaine. Its brands and artists. It’s like a promenade with surprises. A visit should trigger a new Parisian feeling.” And convey the French way of life. The house bakes its own croissants, personalizes champagne bottles and sells cosmetics from collapsible crates that resemble those of the bouquinists in front of the door. Mosaics are reminiscent of the Parisian passages and yellow lanterns of the street lighting in the past. Parisian flair en passant.

The luxury department store is a hymn to the city. It offers the largest beauty department in the European Union – 600 brands and products from three-euro hand gel to perfume in a giant crystal bottle for 150,000 euros. Up to five million customers are expected each year. Parisians, French and of course tourists. On the lower floor, the head of marketing points to a long rolling carpet like at the airport: “There was direct access from the parking lot to the department store. We have redesigned this tunnel. This is where the bus tourists will arrive.”

The complex includes a luxury hotel with a 1000 square meter suite. Even the smallest room there costs 1500 euros per night. But there is also a day nursery and almost 100 social housing. Samaritaine General Director Jean Jacques Guiony explains: “That is the law. When building, around 25 percent of the area has to be reserved for social housing. We were free to move it inside in the Rue de Rivoli building.” The tenants look out over a green, roofed courtyard with the department store’s wellness oasis. The Samaritaine is open 364 days a year. It is only closed on May 1st

75 years of Vespa Piaggios fully electric future

Status: 23.06.2021 8:15 a.m.

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

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

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

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

Two-wheelers sought-after alternatives in times of crisis

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

There is still room for improvement in e-mobility

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

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

Conquer the sharing market with a cheaper model?

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

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

Standard replacement battery as the key to success

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

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

Market power of Chinese companies Beijing takes on tech companies

Status: 23.06.2021 12:18 p.m.

Numerous large and valuable tech companies have emerged in China in recent years. The government did its best to promote the rise. In the meantime, however, the feel-good phase is over.

By Steffen Wurzel, ARD-Studio Shanghai A small coffee shop in Shanghai’s Jing’an business district. The shop is popular, a take-away coffee costs the equivalent of two euros, a bargain for this location. The fact that shopkeeper Wu Jialing is still worth it is because he can sell a lot of coffee within a short period of time. Customers pay by smartphone. You simply scan the QR code that is hanging next to the coffee machine. “Paying by app is incredibly fast,” says the shop owner. Serving the cash register, looking for change, washing your hands after contacting the cash register and cash – all of this is eliminated. Correspondingly more sales are possible.

Revolutionized dealing with money

The payment apps Alipay and WeChat-Pay have revolutionized the way money is handled in China within a few years. Instead of struggling with the mostly old-fashioned, complicated and sluggish state banks, most Chinese people now fully rely on the smartphone apps of the domestic fintech companies Ant and Tencent to handle their everyday financial transactions.

It is no longer just about cashless payments. The Alipay app can now also be used to take care of investments, insurance and old-age provision. That too weakens the role of the state banks. “In the area of ​​finance, China has developed from a very backward place to a global pioneer in terms of fintech,” explains Martin Chorzempa of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. Not only in the financial technology sector have new, powerful large corporations emerged in the country in recent years. There was also a start-up boom in other tech areas, financed partly by state and partly private venture capital.

Government rethinking corporate relationships

Whether online shopping, social media or delivery services: For years, companies such as Alibaba, Bytedance and Meituan have been able to rely on political and sometimes financial support from the government. But in the past few months the climate has changed, says Duncan Clark, head of the management consultancy BDA in the Chinese capital Beijing. “It seems that the government in China is rethinking its relationship with the big tech companies.”

Obviously, some of the big tech companies have grown too big too quickly for the communist leadership – and above all too powerful. The fact that cartel and supervisory authorities are taking action against the market power of large corporations such as Google, Amazon or Facebook is also true in Europe and the USA. But: “What makes the matter special in China are the outstanding position of the Communist Party and the tensions that exist again and again in China: Tensions between the large state corporations supervised by the CP on the one hand and the private sector on the other.” explains Clark.

Ant IPO stopped

These tensions became apparent in China over the past year. In several cases, the state and party leadership slowed down the emerging private companies. Ant, the parent company of the payment and financial services app Alipay, wanted to go public last November, for example. It would have been the largest IPO in world economic history. With him, the Chinese fintech company Ant would have collected around 30 billion euros. But two days before the equity debut in Hong Kong and Shanghai, the government surprisingly stopped the IPO. Ant does not meet certain regulations, it was announced. Further details: none. But in the following weeks it became clear that the cancellation of the Ant IPO probably came from the very top. China’s state and party leadership was apparently bothered by statements by Ant boss Ma Yun, alias Jack Ma, who said in a speech in Shanghai shortly before the planned IPO: “As far as the financial sector is concerned, we are still beginners in China. We do have Big banks – they are like big rivers. But what we mainly need are small lakes, ponds, streams and smaller rivers. ”

Open criticism crosses a red line

China’s financial system, previously dominated by large state banks, harbors risks, Ma criticized. That is unhealthy. A statement that many experts would endorse, but from the point of view of the communist leadership, the previously ubiquitous model manager had crossed a red line with his open criticism of the state banks.

The IPO of his fintech company Ant burst. Ma himself had to withdraw to a large extent from the public.

Several company directors resigned

“At first it was thought that this was all about Jack Ma because he was so open about himself, and about his company Ant,” says management consultant Clark, who has also written a book about the rise of Jack Ma. “But since then we have seen much more extensive crackdown by the authorities against large tech companies in China.”

Other prominent startup founders and tech billionaires resigned. For example, Zhang Yiming, the head of the TikTok parent company Bytedance, and Huang Zheng, who ran the emerging Chinese online shopping group Pinduoduo. The reasons for the resignations are unclear, but most industry observers believe government pressure played a role. “The Communist Party is profiting enormously from the consumption boom that all these tech companies have triggered in China,” Clark analyzes. “But this is not a one-way street. We see a certain double dependency between the CP and the tech companies: Both somehow need each other, but in the end the party says: ‘You need us more.'” It is becoming increasingly clear that China’s leadership is no longer allowing private tech companies to get away with as much as it has before. They too must submit to the Communist Party’s claim to leadership. Criticism will not be tolerated, however subtle it may be.

Lost 25 billion euros in one post

This was recently also experienced at the delivery service group Meituan, against which the antitrust authorities are investigating. Meituan boss Wang Xing posted a historical satirical text that is more than 1000 years old in early May. This text is about criticism of a former Chinese emperor. Some understood the post of the company boss and multi-billionaire as a hidden criticism of today’s rulers. The Meituan boss deleted the posted text, but Meituan’s stock market price plummeted by almost 15 percent, and the company lost around 25 billion euros in value in one fell swoop. The fact that Xing then donated around ten percent of his personal fortune, around 1.8 billion euros, to a charity is understood as an attempt at penance. “Many company bosses in China are currently examining how they can get rid of outstanding titles or even parts of their assets,” reports management consultant Clark. “It’s about behaving as inconspicuously as possible, no longer being the tallest tree in the forest. Because it is the first to be felled.”

“Repowering” New boost for wind power?

Status: 22.06.2021 3:09 p.m.

The expansion of wind power has not progressed as planned for years. Now the grand coalition has agreed on a number of measures that should give the industry a new boost. This week, the new Federal Climate Protection Act should pass the Bundestag and Bundesrat. It stipulates that Germany will become greenhouse gas neutral by 2045 – five years earlier than planned. By 2030, 65 percent of climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions are to be saved compared to 1990. In order to achieve this goal, along with other measures, renewable energies must also make a major contribution. Wind power is one of them. The planned changes are essentially about making it easier to replace existing wind turbines, known as repowering. The new regulation is intended to facilitate the approval of new windmills at old locations and thus enable repowering that maintains the location. This also applies to wind farms that reach up to 350 meters from residential areas – provided that the loads from the new systems are not higher than the old ones. The aim is to make better use of existing wind sites with more modern system technology, said the politicians Matthias Miersch from the SPD and Stephan Stracke from the CDU.

There is still a lack of space

Lothar Schulze, CEO of the Wind Power Plants Association, maintains that repowering is facilitated “basically makes sense”, but criticizes the unchanged strict requirements for species protection. In addition, there is still a lack of space for new wind farms if the goal set by the federal government of reserving two percent of Germany’s land area for wind farms is to be achieved. Currently 0.9 percent of the area is designated for this, but only 0.5 percent can be used with modern systems. “This means that another 1.5 percent of the federal territory is missing, which means that a giant step has to be taken in the next legislative period”, said Schulze in conversation with tagesschau.de .

SPD parliamentary deputy Miersch also regretted that no agreement had been reached on binding land commitments for wind power. But at least he spoke of one “bridge” in the next legislative period. Green parliamentary group leader Anton Hofreiter criticized that there was only one “a couple of small funding programs” instead of “fundamental reforms”. “Very important and positive” On the other hand, association chief Schulze finds the increase in the tender volume for wind power to four gigawatts agreed for the coming year. However, it is only one “small compensation” the deterioration that has taken place since 2017. In fact, not all tenders were actually implemented between 2017 and 2020. “We would therefore have liked a perspective beyond 2022”, says Schulze. But this task will probably only be taken over by the new government.

Further loosening is necessary

Overall, however, the wind power industry is satisfied with the planned innovations. Material errors and limitations would be corrected. Despite the still too low approval procedures, the quantities were sufficient for 2022 and, due to the catch-up, also in the following years. The next government must, however, continue to promote the expansion of wind energy through further easing, also in the field of species protection, in order to increase the output to 5,000 MW per year, said Association Board Member Schulze.

Nevertheless, the controversial cases in the construction of new wind turbines have steadily increased in recent years. Since 2018, the expansion of wind energy has stagnated at 1,000 to 1,500 MW per year. In addition to the growing resistance from the population, this is also due to the different administrative practices from state to state. The industry also has the impression that new hurdles are always being sought. In the meantime, monument protection has also been included in the approval process for wind turbines. The compromise reached between the Union and the SPD over the past year also caused criticism from the industry Minimum distance from wind turbines to residential buildings . After that, each federal state can now determine which distance is permitted. This can be 1000 meters or less

It was ridiculed by its peers, but today it has become the pillar of China’s consumer market infrastructure.

From the “no postage zone” to the same-day delivery, why did Tibet change?

More than one hundred robots shuttle back and forth between countless shelves without interfering with each other, and work in an orderly manner. This scene did not take place in a science fiction drama, but actually appeared in the western highlands of China-Tibet.

These robots are called “Land Wolf” and they are the new “employees” of JD Logistics. Relying on these “brothers”, the hard bones of Tibet’s logistics were finally gnawed down by Liu Qiangdong.

It is not surprising that this happened on JD.com, because Liu Qiangdong has not played cards according to common sense.

Back then, he was a high-achieving student who graduated from the National People’s Congress and went to Zhongguancun to work as a small trader. His mother opposed, and his girlfriend’s father persuaded him… Liu Qiangdong survived. Seeing that JD.com has a little bit of color, he plans to deploy JD.com logistics.

The ridicule came like a tide, and Li Guoqing bluntly said: “JD.com will not last long.” Even in JD.com’s own senior management team, some people clearly opposed it. Liu Qiangdong only replied one sentence, this is a notice, not a discussion. But it’s easier said than done. The 2008 financial crisis screamed, and JD.com had only 10 million left on its account. This means that the company’s income in recent years has to go all in, and it has to get a huge amount of financing within a limited time. If it fails It may be overwhelming. Liu Qiangdong gritted his teeth and desperately found investors. When he was most anxious, he saw 42 people a week. When he heard that he didn’t know when he could make money, they all retreated. It was not until the end of the year that Liang Botao, a life-saving straw, finally appeared. Why is it focused on logistics? The “10-section sugarcane theory” is his “confidence.” Liu Qiangdong divides the value chain of the retail and consumer goods industry into ten links including creativity, design, R&D, manufacturing, pricing, marketing, trading, warehousing, distribution, and after-sales. “The length of a sugarcane section can be changed in the short term, but it is fixed in the long run. When there are too many brands coming in, competition becomes fierce and profits decrease, then this section of sugarcane becomes shorter.” In his view, logistics It was a big sugarcane that no one dared to chew at that time. However, it is JD.com doing logistics that can realize products with the charm, safety and fidelity of “Same Day”. This has also become an important reason for consumers to choose JD.com online shopping. It is also because of trust that “cash on delivery” has changed from mainstream to marginal and historical. Afterwards, everyone knows that JD Logistics has not only been strong for 17 years, it has also been successfully listed, becoming the second in China. Behind this company stood Sun Zhengyi, who voted for Tesla’s female version of Buffett’s “Cathie Wood” (Cathie Wood). After gnawing on this big sugarcane and sending JD Logistics to the market, all the ridicule at the beginning was turned off. No one expected Liu Qiangdong to play the card again according to common sense. Jingdong “logistics” has become a “consulting company”. Not only provide supply chain solutions, but also analyze and match supply chain planning. Specifically, JD Logistics began to intervene in the early sales forecasting of corporate customers, and based on sales forecasts, it carried out category distribution and inventory arrangements; after sales began, it timely met the demand for return and replacement, and replenished goods quickly when selling well, and quickly when sales were slow. Dealing with inventory, in this way, helps companies achieve revenue growth. At present, this idea has begun to bear fruit. After the cooperation between sports brand Skechers and JD Logistics, the weighted average delivery time of all e-commerce orders has been reduced by about 5 hours, and JD Logistics has helped Amway Group’s inventory turnover days to be reduced by approximately 30%, which means that under the circumstance of unchanged sales, Amway needs to reserve funds in inventory drastically reduced. Liu Qiangdong, who played cards in an unreasonable manner, always showed Wang Zhan at the end. Perhaps Liu Qiangdong’s brilliance lies in the fact that he knows that the real winner will never let people guess what his cards are. Li Guoqing, who laughed at him, was swept out by his wife, Zhang Jindong also became Lao Lai, but Liu Qiangdong’s Jingdong became a retail behemoth. ——END—— Welcome to pay attention to 【Chinese Business Strategies】, learn about the heroes, and read the legends of the strategies.

Nowadays, “Huangling sun drying in autumn” has become a fixed custom. Every autumn harvest season, every household’s eaves are covered with brightly colored agricultural products such as corn and peppers. It forms a perfect autumn harvest picture with the Hui-style houses with white walls and black tiles. Called “the most beautiful Chinese symbol”.

Taken in Huangling Village, Wuyuan, Jiangxi.

The Huangling Scenic Area in Wuyuan is a typical mountain village, and the houses are scattered in fan-shaped ladders. Huangling is well-known for its “sun in autumn”. The “Tianjie” in the village is like a jade belt that connects classic ancient buildings, and there are many Hui-style shops, and a flowing abbreviated version of “The Riverside Picture on Qingming Festival”. Surrounded by thousands of ancient trees and tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields, the sea of ​​flowers in the four seasons displays stunning land art. The ancient village of Huangling was built on the hillside, surrounded by ancient trees. The back mountain is dominated by green pine. The shuikou forest at the foot of the village is dominated by the yew group. After the cable car is the shuikou forest into the village, most of the trees are fragrant maple and ancient camphor. Most of them are several hundred years old, and the longest is over a thousand years. These trees tell you how long the history of the village is. The well-preserved Hui-style ancient village pattern in Huangling has the original ancient village style and folk customs. The house structure of the village is special. The front door of the first floor of the farmhouse is facing the main road; the second floor of the household can reach higher places. On the other main road, the front door on the second floor is built up and down, which is connected with the horizontal wooden frame built outside the house to dry the agricultural products. This solves the contradiction between building villages on slopes and drying crops without flat areas. Bamboo drying is used for drying crops, which does not occupy space and is convenient for storage. Every year during the harvest season, the houses become a world of sunburn, and the colorful crops and black roofs overlap each other, which is spectacular. Autumn is the season of rich colors. Golden corn and hot red peppers fill the whole house. The aunts are really busy connecting the farming to make it easier to dry. These gorgeous colors make Huangling in autumn more abundant and “very charming.” As night fell, the lights were turned on in every household in the village. The lively small mountain village full of tourists during the day has returned to its original nature and suddenly became quiet. The owner of the two dried peppers under the eaves guessed that they would be busy eating, and forgot them here. Fortunately, the eaves can block rain and dew, so that they won’t get wet by night dew. After dinner, I walked away, and the streets full of tourists during the day became empty. The night here is so quiet, so quiet that I can only hear my own footsteps, so quiet that people forget the trivialities of the world, and it’s so quiet that people feel a little flustered… The originally rough bluestone slab became smooth and round after years of polishing. These exquisitely crafted and luxuriously decorated old houses, after hundreds of years of ups and downs, still stand here, and they have changed owners several times. The former owner here spent a lot of effort to build this luxurious mansion, but the precious wealth he left for future generations is not only material, but more spiritual. These buildings can survive for hundreds or even thousands of years. Thinking about the buildings we have built now…well, I seem to be thinking too much. Travel information: Airplane: There is currently no airport in Wuyuan. There are airports in surrounding cities such as Jingdezhen, Huangshan, Quzhou, and Nanchang. Jingdezhen Airport and Huangshan Airport are relatively close to Wuyuan. Jingdezhen Luojia Airport is about 80 kilometers away from Wuyuan County. It is the nearest airport to Wuyuan, and it is more convenient to arrive by air. Self-driving: To the east of Quzhou: From Quzhou to Wuyuan, you can take the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway-205 National Road-Huabai Line-Dewu Expressway. The whole journey is about 150 kilometers and takes about 2.5 hours. To the south of Shangrao: From Shangrao to Wuyuan, you can take Deshang Expressway-Dechang Expressway-Dewu Expressway. The whole journey is about 140 kilometers and takes about 2.5 hours. To the west of Jingdezhen: From Jingdezhen to Wuyuan, you can take the Hangrui Expressway. The whole journey is about 85 kilometers and takes about 1 hour. To the north of Huangshan: From Huangshan City to Wuyuan, you can take the Hangrui Expressway. The whole journey is about 100 kilometers and takes about 1 hour

Today, we will go to the quietest street in Shanghai to experience the cultural story behind it. This street is Shanghai Xinhua Road.

basic introduction

Xinhua Road is a street in Changning District, Shanghai. It starts from Huaihai Road in the east and Kaixuan Road in the west. It stretches for more than 2,400 meters from east to west. The road is wide and is an important passage connecting Changning and Hongqiao Airport.

This road was built in 1925 and was originally named “Anhe Temple Road”. It was built across the border when Shanghai became a public concession. Many foreigners once lived here. Therefore, for a long time, Xinhua Road was occupied by foreigners, and many exotic residential buildings with different styles were built here, which have been preserved to this day, so they are also known as the “Wanguo Lane”.

Quiet environment

Nowadays, Xinhua Road has long, narrow and straight roads, towering trees on both sides, and sunlight shining through the sparse leaves. It is known as one of the most secluded roads in Shanghai. Dozens of garden houses of various styles shuttle through the lanes under the shade of the trees. There are English country houses, Gothic architecture, Baroque architecture, French classical architecture, and ancient Roman and Renaissance architecture, with pointed roofs and gray shades. The appearance, variety of forms, romantic and passionate, make people feel its unique charm.

Wudak

These buildings were all made by the Hungarian architect Udak. In the 1930s, they were given the responsibility of designing houses on Xinhua Road. It is said that he left as many as 124 buildings in Shanghai. Cinemas and international hotels have become Shanghai’s leading designers.

Like the bungalow at No. 36, Lane 329, Xinhua Road, it has a conspicuous blue roof and a two-story circular garden. It is called the “cake house”. It is an outstanding masterpiece of Master Wudak. Walking in it is like being in a foreign country, with a strong atmosphere.

Foreign lane

In addition, there is the foreign lane at No. 32, Lane 329, which was once the residence of the Swedish minister and the residence of the Spanish consul-general. The steep double-slope red roof tile surface makes it unique and dazzling among the nearby bungalows.

There is also No. 315, Xinhua Road, this English-style King George style house is a grand residence. Strolling here, the small bungalows, pavilions and gardens that can be seen everywhere are unique and novel, and people can’t help but think of the scene on this road a hundred years ago.

Today, on Xinhua Road, the sycamore branches on the side of the road are lush and leafy, and the shadows of the trees are projected on the unique buildings. There is no traffic, and you can slowly feel the historical atmosphere of this road. At the intersection of Xinhua Road and Panyu Road, there is also a modern building-the first screening hall of Shanghai Cinema.

Today, it has transformed into the world’s first laser projection “Oriental Giant Screen” theater. The world’s top Christie laser projection technology in the studio takes people through the world of science fiction in minutes, giving people a thrilling adventure journey. At the same time, there are a variety of gourmet snack bars downstairs, satisfying people’s appetites, you can come and experience it. (The picture comes from Ctrip netizens)

Director films for streaming service Spielberg signs with Netflix

Status: 06/22/2021 4:00 a.m.

Just a few years ago, Oscar winner Spielberg couldn’t gain much from streaming services. But now the director is surprising with an exclusive deal: Spielberg will be shooting for Netflix in the coming years.

From Marcus Schuler, ARD studio Los Angeles

The collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Netflix is ​​also a symbolic step. One of Hollywood’s great directors basically changes sides – from the cinema screen to the television. Until recently, the 74-year-old director was still considered a proven opponent of streaming services. In an interview with the British TV broadcaster ITV he justified it three years ago: “If you get involved in the TV format, you are a TV film. If the material is good, it has earned an Emmy TV award but no Oscar. I think it is wrong that films that only show a week in theaters are allowed for the Oscars. ”

This rumor also persisted: Spielberg is said to have used his influence as a member of the Oscar Academy and chairman of the directing department to exclude Netflix films from participating in the Oscar. The immediate environment of Spielberg has always denied that. Spielberg himself also made it clear to the “New York Times” two years ago that he was interested in a good story, regardless of the medium in which it took place.

One of the most influential directors in Hollywood

With Spielberg, Netflix has now hired one of the most important and influential directors and producers in Hollywood. His name is linked to box office hits like ET, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List. The collaboration between Spielberg and its production company Amblin Partners with Netflix is ​​planned for several years. During this time, a number of feature films for the streaming platform from Silicon Valley are to be made. There is talk of at least two productions per year. Both sides are silent about the financial scope of the deal.

Fiercely competitive streaming market

Film expert Julia Boorstin from business broadcaster CNBC says Netflix wants to attract new subscribers with the director’s glamorous name. That could be a big win for Netflix, even if it is not clear what the financial scope of the partnership is.

The streaming platform is best known for reacting particularly early to the market. And the competition is getting harder and harder: Disney Plus, HBO Max and Amazon are all billionaire companies that attack the market leader Netflix not only in the domestic US market, but also internationally. Netflix produced 60 major feature films this year alone. With Spielberg, there is less mass, but class. His commitment also shows that times have definitely changed in Hollywood

retail trade Constant dispute about the closing time

Status: 21.06.2021 5:43 p.m.

25 years ago, the Bundestag approved longer shop opening times. But to what extent do more flexible rules benefit retail – and what price do employees pay? The debate continues.

From Jens Eberl, WDR

When Berliners want to go shopping in Bavaria, they might find themselves in front of closed doors every now and then. Berliners are used to having shops open around the clock. And Bavaria, on the other hand, has the shortest opening times in Germany. Since 2006, responsibility for regulating shop closing times lies with the federal states. The federal store closing law only applies in the federal states that have not passed their own store opening law; and that is the case in Bavaria. According to the Federal Store Opening Act, sales are allowed Monday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bakeries are allowed to open from 5.30 a.m. In Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony, the shops are allowed to open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., in the other federal states, 0 a.m. to midnight.

“The job can hardly be planned any more”

Have the more flexible opening times proven effective? The balance sheets are very different. Stefan Genth, chief executive of the retail trade association (HDE), says that liberalization was an important and right step. “Especially in the food retail sector, customers like to use the longer opening times to shop later in the evening after the working day and to take a look around.” The service union ver.di, on the other hand, speaks of a massive deterioration in working conditions. “Due to the long opening times, the employees are required to be much more flexible, the job can hardly be planned,” says Federal Board Member Stefanie Benefitberger. Compared to the past, there are many more part-time workers; the longer opening times have not led to the creation of full-time jobs. “There are simply fewer staff available for advice in the store, so that the opening times can be covered,” says Benefitberger. “Two thirds of those employed in retail are women. The expansion of part-time work and employment that is not subject to social security contributions are at their expense and mean that they are dependent on basic security in old age.”

Jobs for millions of people

The industry association contradicts: Liberalization has increased the need for labor in the retail sector. “Particularly in the food trade, additional jobs were created in order to be able to cover the evening and night hours,” said HDE General Manager Genth. Overall, the retail trade in Germany today offers more than three million people a job.

The union also sees a connection between the dying inner cities and the long opening times. There was a big cutthroat competition, so ver.di board member Benefitberger. “Four corporations make around 80 percent of sales in foodstuffs, three corporations make almost 90 percent of sales in drugstore articles.” Not every company was able to go along, especially smaller shops should have closed that way.

Sunday opening as an economic aid?

In the current discussion about shop opening times, the main focus is currently on Sunday. The trade association, the association of towns and municipalities and Marcel Fratzscher, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), have signed up for a general Sunday opening until Christmas – as an economic aid for the industry, which has been hard hit by Corona.

“In many other areas of the economy, opening on Sundays is a matter of course. In restaurants and pubs it is part of everyday life that the doors are also wide open on Sundays. The same is true of theaters, cinemas or museums worked on Sundays, “said industry representative Genth. “Only in the retail sector, as a rule, everything has to be closed on Sundays. That is no longer in keeping with the times.”

Resistance in court too

But the trade union ver.di is massively resisting further liberalization, which is why it repeatedly goes to court. The advance of the HDE is a “general attack” on the trade workers, their families, and the Basic Law. “The HDE thinks too short-sightedly when it hopes to liven up the city centers and shops with shopping Sundays,” said union Benefitberger. “Because just because it is open longer, people cannot spend more money. Sunday sales only move sales from working days to Sunday.”

At the moment, shops generally have to close on Sundays and public holidays. There are exceptions, for example, for bakeries, flower shops, newsagents, petrol stations and shops in train stations and airports

China Times (www.chinatimes.net.cn) reporter Lu Xiao reports from Beijing
The new life (Love Recycling) who is engaged in the second-hand electronics business rang his own bell to go to the United States.
On the evening of June 18, Wanwu Xinsheng announced that it would first publicly issue approximately 16.23 million ADS shares and begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 18, U.S. stock time. The price of ADS is 14 US dollars per share, and the total issuance scale is approximately 227 million US dollars.
Love Recycling was established in 2011. At the end of May this year, the renamed Wanwu Xinsheng Group submitted a prospectus for the US.
According to the prospectus, as of March 31, 2021, the overall revenue of Wanwu Xinsheng Group in the past 12 months was 5.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 49.4%. In 2020, its overall revenue was 4.858 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.5% compared to 2019.
However, despite the increase in income, the new life, which was founded ten years ago, is still at a loss.
The prospectus shows that from 2018 to 2020, the net losses of New Life will be 208 million yuan, 705 million yuan, and 471 million yuan, totaling about 1.4 billion yuan. In the first quarter of this year, Wanwuxinsheng’s loss was close to 95 million yuan.
According to a reporter from China Times, the main business lines of New Life include the C2B mode of Aihui, B2B mode of shooting, C2B mode of shooting and overseas-oriented AHS Device four major businesses.
“China Times” reporters previously learned from Wanwu Xinsheng that among its 70,000 orders a day, the most profitable is the B2C business that trades more than 10,000 units a day. According to the reporter’s understanding, Wanwu Xinsheng’s B2C business came from the merger with Jingdong’s second-hand trading platform “Pai Pai” in June 2019.
However, compared to the more profitable C-end market, the revenue of All New Life mainly depends on the B-end market. The prospectus shows that Wanwuxin’s revenue is divided into self-operated product revenue and platform revenue. Among them, the revenue of self-operated goods in 2020 is 4.24 billion yuan, accounting for 87% of the total income of the new life. Among them, 88% of merchandise sales are sold to second-hand merchants on the B-end through Paijitang. In addition, the revenue of the B2B platform also reached 280 million yuan in service revenue.
Wanwu Xinsheng’s public financing record before the IPO stayed in the F round. Before the IPO, JD.com held a 34.7% stake in Wanwu Xinsheng, making it its largest shareholder. Its founder Chen Xuefeng holds 10.9% of the shares. When it completed the E+ round of financing of more than 100 million U.S. dollars led by JD.com in September last year, Chen Xuefeng once told reporters such as China Times, “The valuation of Aihuishou must be properly based on 40, 50 IPOs will be considered only on the volume of 100 million U.S. dollars.” However, based on a rough calculation of the price of 14 U.S. dollars, the market value of New Life is less than 4 billion U.S. dollars.
Behind the “anxious” listing of Wanwu Xinsheng, its own hematopoietic ability still needs to be improved. In 2019, 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, its operating cash flow was -62716,600 U.S. dollars, -63,016,600 U.S. dollars and -46,174,400 U.S. dollars. As of March 1, 2021, the cash and cash equivalents on its accounts were only 100 million U.S. dollars.
What needs to be mentioned is that Wanwu Xinsheng stated in the prospectus that the net proceeds from the IPO will be mainly used to further improve technical capabilities, provide more diversified platform services, expand the network of Aihuishou stores, and develop new platforms for the auction platform. Sales channels and used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 2021, Wanwusheng operates 755 offline stores in 172 cities in China. Among them, 753 are love recycling shops and 2 are photo shops. At the same time, AHS Device, the overseas business brand of Wanwu Xinsheng, also covers Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, India and other regions

Five years right to an account Criticism of high basic account fees

Status: 06/18/2021 4:44 p.m.

Everyone has had the right to a basic account for five years. This should help poorer people to get a checking account. It hits hard when banks turn the fee screw in times of negative interest rates. Paying salaries, shopping online, electricity bills – hardly anything works without a checking account. In the past, for example, people without a permanent address or refugees often had a difficult time opening an account. With the Implementation of an EU directive from 2014 The legal situation in Germany changed five years ago: since then, every citizen has been entitled to a so-called basic account. It is intended to give everyone an inexpensive way to conduct banking transactions with a checking account. But the fees for these financial products are increasing – to the displeasure of those affected and the critics. The prerequisite for setting up a basic account is that you are legally resident in the European Union. The account holder receives a bank card and can transfer money. A bank may only reject the application to open a basic account in rare cases, for example if a customer already uses an account with another bank in Germany.

Hundreds of thousands of basic accounts already

According to the latest figures from the financial supervisory authority BaFin, just under 761,500 basic accounts had been opened in Germany by June 2020. However, many institutes are paying dearly for the “Jedermann Accounts”. According to a study by Stiftung Warentest from last December, the range extends from twelve euros to 250 euros per year.

“The success of the basic account is at stake,” warns Julian Merzbacher from the Association of Citizens’ Movement Finanzwende. “Access to an account shouldn’t be a question of the wallet, because it is essential. Other European countries, in which the fees are capped at a low level, show that there is another way.”

Deutsche Bank put in its place

If necessary, the courts have to take action. In the past year the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) ruled in proceedings against Deutsche Bank . A monthly basic price of 8.99 euros and 1.50 euros for a paper transfer as part of a basic account are too high and therefore ineffective, judged the Karlsruhe judges (Az .: XI ZR 119/19). Since then, the bank has had to offer its basic account cheaper.

Fee cap required

In the opinion of Merzbacher’s colleague Michael Findeisen, Germany has only inadequately implemented the EU’s requirements. “The fee regulation urgently needs to be improved,” said the expert to the Protestant press service. The 68-year-old played a key role in shaping the relevant law, as head of division in the Federal Ministry of Finance. Five years later, Findeisen is retired and volunteers for the citizens’ movement Finanzwende.

Findisen demands a binding fee cap from politicians. “It is clear: the banks cannot earn anything with the basic account. But they can cross-finance that with the income from other financial services and products.”

Social products have always been a huge traffic field, and there are many stories of giants breaking and rising here.

Editor’s Guide: Although everyone is calling themselves “social terrorists”, those who are afraid of society also have to socialize. Social products have always been a huge traffic field, and there are many stories of giants breaking and rising here. However, with the popularity of offline activities such as escape room and script killing, the potential of offline social interaction is slowly unfolding. The author of this article has analyzed this and shared it with you.
Socialization has always been one of the most critical directions of the Internet. It seems that whoever catches the social network is equal to the traffic, and can lay out more and larger stories. However, I think that the current social networking on the Internet is still limited to online scenes. Virtualization and peer-to-peer forms continue to change. I think the biggest social opportunity in China in the past 10 years is the combination of active, on-site, and group-based online and offline social interactions.

1. Current situation analysis
   At present, online social software is mainly divided into two types: social acquaintances and social interactions with strangers. The social software of acquaintances is mainly WeChat, QQ, etc. that everyone is most familiar with. This type of software has become a necessary communication software for everyone, and it has become a tool software. There is also social software for strangers, mainly including Momo, Tantan, soul, etc., each of which has its own characteristics, some of which are mainly interested in social interaction, and some promote soul making friends. But in my opinion, their common core point is to make friends with men and women as the core, and other characteristics are to better serve the core purpose. In this fast-paced era, this demand is of course just needed, but online social software is also There are many problems that are difficult to solve.
   The first is the problem of customer retention. Most social interactions with strangers will eventually turn into social acquaintances, which will result in the loss of most customers, and some users will automatically fail to get a good experience on the platform due to their own personalities and communication problems. Drain. Most of those who have existed on the platform for a long time regard the platform as a second unfamiliar circle of friends and long-term “old players”. Now some platforms have added live broadcast functions. The fundamental reason is that the original model is not enough to support continuous user growth and retention, and other functions can only make up for it.
   The second is the issue of profitability. Doing business still has to make money. In the early stage, you can rely on publicity subsidies to drive traffic, but in the middle and late stages, you have to look at your own hard skills. But from the current point of view, needless to say that social software for acquaintances with a large user base can lie down and make money by relying on their own traffic, but social interaction with strangers is still fierce.
   According to the social platform Momo’s 2019 financial report, the data showed that the company’s net revenue reached 17.011 billion yuan, and the net profit attributable to Momo’s parent company was 4.493.3 billion yuan. In terms of revenue composition, Momo said that revenue from live broadcast and value-added services remarkable growth. In 2019, the total revenue of Momo’s live broadcast business reached 12.45 billion, and the annual revenue of value-added business revenue was 4.11 billion. For the whole year of 2019, value-added services accounted for 24.13% of total revenue, and live broadcast revenue accounted for 73.16% of total revenue. Throughout 2020, Momo’s net revenue was RMB 15.024.2 billion, down 11.7% from RMB 17.011 billion in 2019; net profit attributable to Momo was RMB 2.8972 billion.

As of December 31, 2020, Soul’s revenue was 498 million yuan, compared with 70.7 million yuan in the same period in 2019, an increase of 604.3% year-on-year; Soul’s total costs and expenditures were 987 million yuan, an increase of 165.09% year-on-year; operating losses 489 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 62.1%; a net loss of 488 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 62.9%. It can be seen that it is not easy for stranger social software to make a profit due to huge operating and publicity expenses. At present, it is mainly based on member value-added services and live broadcasting as the main revenue method. In fact, it has deviated from the essence of socialism. And if you analyze it from a larger social scope, the current social Internetization also has big problems. The first point is that more and more social interactions are currently concentrated on the Internet, but most companies currently use more drug-like algorithms for user growth and retention. Let us only look at what we like, agree with, and stimulate our nerves. The consequences of doing so will create relatively independent thinking cocoons, making people in various circles more unfamiliar, intensifying contradictions, and solidifying the ascending channel. The second point is that Internetization will make people virtual. When we can entertain, socialize, and manipulate tools only by moving our fingers, or even using our brains, our physical bodies seem to have no value in existence. Some people especially pursue this goal, but I think that when the comprehensive ability of human beings has not reached this level, if the pursuit of this state is unlimited, it will be like now, more and more people are addicted to the Internet and ignore the reality of social interaction. This is not Evolution is a kind of degradation, so we need to start from the fundamental needs and look for breaking points. 2. Demand presentation According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, social needs are our third layer of needs. When people meet basic physiological and safety needs, they will pursue social needs. But at present, our social status has changed from the previous passive collectivization. Because of the development of the Internet, it has gradually transformed into a way that everyone can make more like-minded and similar friends according to their own wishes. This is certainly a good development, but there are also points that can be optimized. As a product manager, you first need to start from demand, whether it is white-collar workers in first- and second-tier cities or young people in small towns. In fact, there is a strong need to break through the inherent social circle. Many young people are exhausted from work during workdays. When they go home, they play two Kings of Glory. Finally, they stay at home for one day at all times on weekends, and then workdays, day after day. . Is it because they don’t want to go out and socialize? In fact, it’s not all. People are social animals and have a natural social instinct, but there are too few channels at present. Many people don’t know how to make more like-minded friends or join a circle of interest. They can only stay at home or in their own lives. Spin inside the inherent small circle. If you can have a software, you can learn more about the circle’s story on it, and you can easily personally contact the circle of interest, go from online to offline, and you can conduct self-organized activities, have the opportunity to become a circle leader, and Use the software’s traffic to gather more interesting souls. Would you give it a try? 3. Future prospects So I think that in the next ten years, the biggest opportunity lies in the integration and upgrade of social methods. We need to gradually return from online to offline, real physical contact can create more intimacy, break the circle, and collide with different sparks. In fact, the hot offline social venues are gradually beginning to corroborate this fact. For example, script killing and werewolf killing are linked to social interaction through games; music festivals and livehouse are linked to social interaction through music; reading salons and mountaineering groups are linked to social interaction through hobbies… In fact, people are still social offline. There is a strong demand for users, but the current online social software integration of resources in this area is not doing well enough. This is a huge opportunity. We can organically integrate offline resources through Internet tools, with the main purpose of going from online to offline, team socialization, and hobby activities as the starting point. Users can choose to participate in activities of interest, and can organize online communication to facilitate activity consultation and break the ice in advance. At the beginning stage, we can introduce mature event organizers in the market to create high-quality events, and then we can self-organize events and support individual organization events to increase the overall richness and attract more users. For c-end users, it is possible to solve the problems of high time cost and difficulty in finding new ones in pure offline social networking through online; for b-end users, it can attract traffic, so that boutique activities and circles can grow rapidly, which is of great value for both ends. . At present, the main difficulty lies in the early cold start, activity richness and safety. If these can be effectively solved, the market is immeasurable. The last thing I want to say is that human beings are different from other animals in that they use tools to make up for their physical limitations. But we must always be vigilant not to be backlashed by tools, and not to allow tools to infinitely trigger our inner sins. Instead, tools should be used to reduce costs and improve efficiency, close the distance, create consensus, and everyone speaks out to make the world a better place.

“The great progress of science comes from brand new and bold imagination.”-Dewey

Since modern times, with the rapid development of science and technology, many “illusions” that existed in the past have become reality. Mankind has realized the dream of flying in the sky and building a city under the sea, and can also meet people thousands of miles away across space. Countless people are shocked by the power of technology. Some people have put forward bolder ideas-through the ages, many people have hoped that they can “live forever”, so can this long-cherished wish be realized with the power of science and technology? A few years ago, a richest man in the United States frozen himself for 50 years and planned to resurrect him in 2017. What is his situation now?

1. The richest man in the United States, James Bedford

James Bedford was originally a physicist in a well-known American university. In addition, he was also a successful businessman. With his super economic acumen, he became the richest man in the United States 54 years ago. But as he got older, James’ physical condition became weaker, and unfortunately he later contracted kidney cancer. Regardless of whether it was then or now, cancer is almost completely equivalent to a terminal illness, and the chance of recovery is extremely small. After a long period of treatment, James’ condition still hasn’t improved, but he doesn’t want to succumb to fate, because he is still very nostalgic for this colorful world.
James Bedford

2. Cryonics technology

At this time, Robert Ettinger, who has been working on “cryonics”, approached James Bedford. He said that he could use freezing technology to freeze James’ body unharmed and wait until the future When technology develops to cure cancer, let him thaw and “resurrect”. But this technology requires a lot of money and manpower, so Robert hopes that James, who has strong assets, can participate in this experiment and become the first person in the world to be artificially refrigerated.

Robert Ettinger At first, James was skeptical of what Robert said. As a scientist, he understood that freezing a human body is an extremely complicated and difficult task, and even if he can be successfully “resurrected” in the future, he may not be able to adapt to future life. There are also problems with this technology in terms of human relations and ethics. But as James’ illness became more and more serious, he agreed to Robert’s approach in order to have “a ray of life” when the deadline was approaching. The frozen man in the film and television series

3. Plans to resurrect in 2017

After a rigorous plan, James put out a large sum of money, and plans to resurrect in 2017. When everything was ready, James finally closed his eyes in peace. At the moment he just passed away, Robert led his team to get busy. They replaced the blood in James’ body with a cryoprotectant to ensure that the blood crystals after freezing would not pierce the cells. After a series of complicated operations, James’ body was placed in a special refrigeration facility care center. Time flies, and 50 years later, it is the time for James to “resurrect”. But the result is obvious, today’s medical technology has not broken the problem of curing cancer, and how to resurrect the “frozen man” is still an unsolved mystery.

4. How is it now?

Although James failed to realize his last wish to be resurrected in 2017, his family said that the property left by James was enough to support the cost of the subsequent freezing, so they will continue to spend a lot of money to preserve James’s body and make him Continue to freeze until the day when science and technology are really developed to cure cancer and resurrect the “frozen man”. Today, James is still “sleeping” in the refrigeration facility care center, and there are hundreds of people waiting for the day of “resurrection”. Cryonics Many people find it very novel after hearing the story of James Bedford. It is true that “health and longevity” is a beautiful vision for each of us, but nowadays, using cryonics technology to wait for the “resurrection” day is more like Fantastic Nights. For ordinary people, the real secret of health and longevity lies in a good attitude and regular life. Instead of pursuing the “imagination” that can be realized when you don’t know when, it’s better to live every day steadily. What do you think What?

Gansu , Not just the silent Northwest in people’s mind. This land is blooming with infinite vitality and greenery, and a deep river of history flows. It has more enviable colors.

Many people think that there should be life on the moon like the earth, but several investigations on the moon have proved that there is no life on the moon. However, although the moon has no life, it has provided a lot of help to the emergence and evolution of life on earth.

It is precisely because of the existence of the moon that greatly increases the probability of life on the earth and greatly accelerates the rate of life evolution.

The most important manifestation of the moon’s impact on the earth should be

Changes in tides

Because the moon’s control over the earth’s tides is stronger than the sun’s control over the earth’s tides, and the changes in the tides

Greatly affect the size of the buffer zone between the ocean and the land.

According to the current research, the earliest life on the earth is the ocean. In other words, the first batch of organisms on the ground at that time came from the ocean to the land.

If there is no moon to hold the tide, then the time for life to reach land will be continuously delayed, especially for more complex life

.

At the same time, the moon has always been “locked” by the earth because of the earth’s tidal traction, so what we see from the earth is always the same side of the moon, which also causes a lot of problems.

Conspiracy theories begin to “ferment”

, Such as

There are aliens on the back of the moon

Wait for the rumors to become popular.

In fact, these rumors all show that mankind is full of desire to explore the moon, and all of this is also

July 20, 1969

come true,

The US Apollo 11 officially landed on the moon, an important step for mankind to explore the universe

.

In the following years, humans’ understanding of the moon began to gradually become more comprehensive. The moon landing provided the basis for a large number of experimental studies and brought numerous videos and pictures from the moon. But at the same time,

When humans land on the moon, there are a lot of items that cannot be brought back to the earth.

So left on the moon, there is a special item among them, that is

96 bags of diapers

.

Why leave diapers on the moon?

It’s actually very simple, that is

Diapers are used by astronauts for excretion

,because

Astronauts in space are in a weightless environment

, Which caused human excretion to be very unsatisfactory. The American astronauts who entered the universe for the first time

Shepard

Ever

Suffered such embarrassment

, After Shepard reported his need to urinate to the ground headquarters, the headquarters told him that he could

Pee in the spacesuit

, It can be seen that Shepard at the time

How rebellious there will be in my heart.

But there was no way. Shepard, who could not think of other methods at the time, could only follow the instructions of the ground headquarters, but this situation provided important experience for future astronauts to board the air.

Because it’s impossible to have the astronaut urinate in the spacesuit every time they board the air, let alone what to do when there is still stool?

The spacesuit is densely packed with countless sensors, so it’s very unsafe to rank in the spacesuit.

. So the US NASA department began to overcome this embarrassing “difficulty.”

After that,

NASA has developed a “space toilet”

, And continuous improvement of spacesuits, such as

There is a built-in urinal for the male astronaut’s costume

, But these methods are more or less lacking in security and convenience. After vetoing many solutions, they finally came up with a method that was good for experimentation, that is

“Reinforced diapers.”

After this diaper has been specially strengthened,

Can hold nearly 600~800ml of liquid

, That is to say, to deal with the astronaut’s multiple urination, this method is naturally also unanimously approved by the astronauts.and

These diapers were naturally left on the moon after use.

Why did diapers become “babies”?

These diapers were regarded as very meaningful “babies” by many people after many years. This is because

Human urine contains a large number of microorganisms, and whether these microorganisms can survive on the moon has become a matter of most concern to mankind.

, So these leftover diapers have naturally become objects of high research value.

Image source @Visual China In this year’s 618, Taobao, Jingdong, and Pinduoduo added new products and increased their discounts. Douyin and Kuaishou are also eager to try. The seemingly calm 618 is more lively and more competitive than in previous years. According to JD’s big data, the search volume of “pre-sales” from May 24 to May 25 exceeded 1.5 million, and the overall pre-sale orders increased by 640% year-on-year. The number of brands participating in the pre-sale increased by 126% year-on-year. The number of pre-sold goods increased by 437% year-on-year, and the pre-sale orders for brands such as Lenovo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Haier quickly exceeded 100 million yuan. On the first day of the 618 pre-sale, Li Jiaqi, Wei Ya and other top anchors also ushered in a small peak in their live broadcast sales. Fatball data shows that as of 00:00 on May 25, 2021, Li Jiaqi’s current sales in the live studio are 2.565 billion, current sales are 8.498 million, and the field is 106 million. The current sales of Wei Ya’s live studio are 2.379 billion, 6.174 million pieces, and 104 million views. Obviously, the 618-year-old China-U.S.-China Promotion Campaign released consumers’ purchasing power and strengthened the connection between merchants and e-commerce platforms. Especially when Douyin, which started from short video social networking and entered the field of e-commerce, joined the 618 battlefield, the new gameplay it brought was very popular with consumers, and more and more businesses entered the Douyin store. 618 War Upgrade This year’s 618 promotion lasted almost a month, which reserved enough computing time and consumption time for consumers, and gave e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo more room and time to play. As the second leader in the domestic e-commerce market, JD.com launched a series of preferential activities and added preferential new product categories during the 618 period, maintaining the superior posture of the “618 promoter”. It is reported that during the 618 period, Jingdong communications, home appliances, computer and digital products can enjoy a 10% discount for more than 1,000 yuan; food, maternal and child, personal care, cleaning, fresh food, drinks, toys and musical instruments can enjoy a 10% discount for more than 200 yuan… In terms of new product categories, JD 618 has united many brands and merchants to jointly launch a “10 billion shopping gold” campaign, including cash red envelopes, coupons, number one Beijing sticker, first purchase gift money and other discounts. It is expected that there will be a consumption of 10 billion. Vouchers are issued through JD.com. Moreover, it is expected that there will be more than 1,000 new product categories with a year-on-year growth of more than 100%, and the sales of 100 new product categories can exceed 100 million yuan. Similarly, Taobao has carried out a series of preferential activities, product categories, and consumption portal upgrades to meet consumers’ diversified and personalized consumption needs. According to official reports, 250,000 brands participated in Taobao’s 618 this year, and 15 million products participated in discounts, while only 100,000 brands participated last year. In addition, 8200 new brands have been added to the 618 this year, such as Hermes, GUCCI, Tea Yanyue Color, Lele Tea, etc., as well as new brands such as Book by Book, Peppermint Health, Tonton Horsepower, Rock Zoo, Toffee Pie. In contrast, the promotion of Pinduoduo 618 is relatively low-key, but the long-term implementation of the low-price strategy of Pinduoduo is no less powerful than JD.com and Taobao. Not only that, since the tens of billions of subsidies have been upgraded, Pinduoduo has gradually removed the label of “fake platform”. Good quality and low price have become synonymous with Pinduoduo, and consumers have regained their consumer confidence. In short, traditional e-commerce platforms such as JD.com, Taobao, Pinduoduo, and Suning continue to escalate the war. Douyin, which gradually reveals its e-commerce posture, will also experience the baptism of the 618 war after it penetrates into the e-commerce field. A new round of 618 dispute has opened… Recruits enter the arena with their heads up Douyin seems to release all its energy on the 618 battlefield, preferring consumers and subsidizing brands far beyond previous years. According to the information disclosure of the “618” China Merchants Association of Douyin, during the “618” period, in addition to the pre-sale of the deposit and the gameplay of the “Interactive City” on the consumer side, the Douyin focused on giving brand owners substantial preferential policies. During the “618” period, all TikTok merchants will give 15%-30% subsidies, as well as free shipping insurance and so on. During the period from June 6th to 18th, if the commodity price is less than or equal to the lowest price within 30 days, the platform technical service rate will be reduced to 1%. More importantly, Douyin has formed an alliance with JD.com, a short video social platform with a large number of monthly active users, and a leading e-commerce platform with a strong supply chain. The strong cooperation between the two will inevitably wipe out “growth”. Sparks”. Some media broke the news that during the 618 period this year, Jingdong will open an official Blue V store on Douyin to access all categories of Jingdong products. Users will not need to jump to purchase Jingdong goods through Douyin and enjoy the logistics and after-sales provided by Jingdong. In addition, according to the agreement between the two parties, JD.com needs to achieve the goal of 20 billion GMV on Douyin this year by means of “shop broadcast + talent”. As we all know, Douyin still has many shortcomings on the way to explore interest e-commerce. For example: Douyin’s product search function is not powerful enough, product categories are few, and the overall supply chain system is not mature enough, etc. The alliance between Douyin and JD can make up for its own shortcomings in the brand camp and supply chain. In addition, Douyin has set a “small target” for e-commerce transaction volume in 2021, and the e-commerce festival is the best time to hit sales. Internet public data shows: “In 2020, Douyin e-commerce GMV is about 170 billion (transactions through its own Douyin stores), and the target for 2021 is 500 to 600 billion (500 billion guaranteed). Among them, the Douyin platform preferred alliance ( Head brand) The GMV target is about 300 billion.” In addition, the Kuaishou e-commerce business has already made achievements, and it is quite a trend to get rid of the vibrato e-commerce. The vibrato e-commerce also needs to grasp every opportunity for overtaking in a corner to accelerate the pace of growth. Kuaishou’s first-quarter financial report showed that Kuaishou’s revenue from other services was 1.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 589.1%, mainly driven by the growth of e-commerce. The total e-commerce transactions of Kuaishou in the first quarter increased by 219.8% year-on-year to 118.6 billion yuan, of which Kuaishou stores accounted for the proportion of total e-commerce transactions on the platform, which increased from 53% in the same period in 2020 to 85%. Moreover, although the monthly activity of Douyin users is super fast, the anchor camp that carries goods on the head of Kuaishou is stronger than that of Douyin. According to Xiaohulu big data, from April to December 2020, among the top 100 anchors on Taobao, Kuaishou, and Douyin in terms of total shipments, there are 45 anchors from Kuaishou, 40 from Taobao, and only Douyin anchors. 15 people. In short, content is the driving force for the development of e-commerce. Douyin’s huge traffic, rich short video content, and anchor camp are its capital for exploring the e-commerce market. However, improving the supply chain capabilities can maintain the long-term growth of e-commerce business. Douyin e-commerce companies must also improve the supply chain system and provide basic services such as quality control and after-sales service to meet the ever-increasing shopping needs of users. The veteran is safe, the recruits are aggressive Judging from the preferential power, number of new products, and marketing enthusiasm on the two platforms of JD and Alibaba, this year’s 618 “cat and dog war” is still the protagonist. However, after reaping the short video market dividends, Douyin and Kuaishou short video platform users have surged, and the exploration of diversified business models has been put on the agenda. Live e-commerce has become a new battlefield for Douyin and Kuaishou. After Douyin and Kuaishou announced their e-commerce transformation, the domestic e-commerce market has become more subtle. Especially in today’s booming live streaming, Douyin and Kuaishou, which have huge traffic, have a lot of confidence to stir the e-commerce market. Therefore, in addition to the “cat and dog war” in 618 this year, the battles between “veterans” such as JD.com, Alibaba, and Pinduoduo and “recruits” such as Douyin and Kuaishou have also attracted a lot of attention. However, at present, Douyin and Kuaishou are not enough to compete with traditional e-commerce platforms in the field of e-commerce. Because in addition to the abundant traffic, the two services are not mature enough in e-commerce operations, payment, logistics, after-sales and even data asset management, and the consumer shopping portal is still dominated by traditional e-commerce platforms. It is difficult for Douyin to survive the 618 period. Get many opportunities for growth. Not only that, but the model of “building a brand on Douyin and realizing it on Taobao” has been recognized and practiced by many celebrity anchors and brand owners. This shows that the e-commerce market traffic king era has transformed into an era where traffic, services, and content are all driven. The growth model based on traffic alone is not sustainable. The platform supply chain, word-of-mouth, service, etc. are more affected by merchants and consumers’ decision-making. . While Douyin e-commerce is growing aggressively, JD.com and Taobao have entered a stage of steady growth. The years of operating experience of traditional e-commerce platforms, a huge product library and high-quality supply chain management capabilities are unsurpassed by Douyin e-commerce. In other words, in the field of e-commerce, Douyin e-commerce still has a long way to go…

In fact, 10 years ago, Biden, who was still the Vice President of the United States, had a face-to-face meeting with Putin, then Russian Prime Minister, in Moscow. At that time, Biden stated that the United States hoped to “reset” US-Russian relations in a way that reflects the common interests of the two countries.

Now, the two will sit at the negotiating table again. But this time, it seems “impossible” for the two sides to make a fundamental breakthrough in the low-point Russia-US relationship through just a summit of leaders.

Data map: On March 10, 2011, Putin and Biden met in Moscow, Russia.

“Old rivals” confront again,

These issues will be put on the negotiating table…

At 13:00 on June 16th, Geneva time (19:00 Beijing time), the Russian-US leaders summit will officially begin.

According to the Russian President’s Assistant Ushakov, Putin and Biden’s talks will consist of a small-scale talk and two large-scale talks, during which there will be a coffee break.

As for how long the talks will last, Ushakov said, “It all depends on the situation of the discussion, the mood of the two presidents, and what issues will take longer than we planned.”

A source familiar with the preparations for the US-Russia summit said that the negotiations are planned to last for nearly five hours.

In addition, according to the warm-up and release of the United States and Russia, the topics of this meeting are very broad, involving bilateral relations, strategic stability, arms control, conflict mediation in hotspots, counter-terrorism, new crown epidemic, network security, human rights, environmental protection and other fields.

Data map: US President Biden.

The meeting at the lowest point of US-Russian relations,

“Tune the door” dropped again and again

On the eve of the summit, U.S.-Russian relations continued to be tense, and sanctions and war of words became almost normal. Putin and Biden have said recently that US-Russian relations are at the “lowest point in recent years.”

Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Russian, Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com that US-Russian relations are in a “more dangerous situation”, which is the main reason for the holding of the “Publish Meeting.”

Putin has said that the purpose of this meeting is to improve bilateral relations; Biden also said that the meeting is aimed at seeking “stability” and “predictability” in the relationship between the two parties. However, the United States and Russia continued to release negative messages before the summit.

In response, Sun Chenghao, an assistant researcher at the U.S. Institute of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, explained that for the United States, the “anti-Russian and hate-Russian” sentiment in the United States has not dissipated, although Biden does not have the burden of former President Trump’s “Russian gate” , But after he came to power, including accusing Russia of interfering in the U.S. election, accusing Russia of participating in hacker attacks on the United States, etc., “there is no way for Biden to show too soft diplomacy to Russia.”

“Russia is actually the same,” Sun Chenghao said. Because the United States has always imposed pressure on Russia’s diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions, it is impossible to ease the United States under Russia’s current governance model. Russia’s domestic politics It also determines that Putin cannot overly show favor to Biden.

However, many parties predict that the United States and Russia will reach cooperation on non-core interests, including climate change issues and the fight against the new crown epidemic. Zhang Hong said, “The United States and Russia may reach a certain consensus in these areas. I think it is the main purpose of this meeting to create or resume such a dialogue through non-core issues.”

Data map: Russian President Putin.

See Putin at the last stop of the European trip,

Biden is cheering himself up?

The meeting between Biden and Putin in Geneva was the last stop of Biden’s European tour. Prior to this, he has attended the G7 summit, NATO summit and the US-Europe summit.

In Zhang Hong’s view, “allies first, competitors second”, this order is correct.

“Through the three summits, Biden and Putin will meet with strong alliance diplomacy support. In fact, the United States represents the Western camp and the Russian dialogue, so that it is in regional security issues, regional economic cooperation issues, ideological and In terms of values, there is at least the so-called “voice of the alliance”, which transcends the United States itself and partially represents the European position.” Zhang Hong pointed out.

Sun Chenghao also said that such an itinerary was “well-designed.” If Biden had contact with Putin in advance, first of all he had no bottom; second, Biden was also worried that European allies would think that the United States and Russia would adopt this kind of “over-the-top diplomacy” approach to reach some arrangements that are not conducive to Europe. It is also unfavorable to consolidate transatlantic relations.

“Dialogue” is the best result?

Russia and the United States may find it difficult to achieve breakthroughs on key issues

As early as 1985, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union held a summit in Geneva, and that meeting was regarded as a turning point for the two countries to walk out of the Cold War. However, the outside world is generally not optimistic about the outcome of this summit.

Zhang Hong pointed out that, first of all, the United States and Russia have major differences over the Navaline incident, which is a “red line” belonging to Russia. Russia has always objected to the direct interference of the United States and the West in Russia’s internal democratic and political affairs. Secondly, there is the “security red line.” The frequent activities and forward deployments of NATO countries headed by the United States in the Balkan Peninsula and the Black Sea region threaten the security of western Russia.

Sun Chenghao also mentioned a more specific contradiction between the United States and Russia-the issue of sanctions. What Russia is most concerned about economically is when the United States can lift the sanctions. But first, the “anti-Russian hatred” sentiment in the United States is soaring. It is impossible for Congress to lift sanctions against Russia in this state, and the Biden administration has at least not much bargaining chip in sanctions.

In general, experts predict that this summit will hardly allow both parties to achieve breakthroughs on key issues.

Sun Chenghao pointed out that there will be some partial improvements in the atmosphere of the United States and Russia; this meeting will allow everyone to have “a more stable expectation” for the relationship between the United States and Russia. Zhang Hong said that although the summit cannot achieve a breakthrough, it does not mean that the United States and Russia will not be able to achieve regular dialogue in the future. Once the regular mechanism of such a major power is restored, it will be very beneficial to Russia and will help Russia break the West’s diplomatic isolation.

“The two leaders will be arguing about many things, but the dialogue will continue.” Alexander Fushbo, the ambassador to Russia in the administration of former US President George W. Bush, pointed out that this is “the best one can think of.” Happening”. (Finish)

European market China is significantly reducing investments

Status: 16.06.2021 12:53 p.m.

China invested less in the European market in 2020 than it has for ten years. Great Britain was particularly hard hit. It’s not just the corona pandemic to blame. China significantly reduced its direct investment in the European market last year. According to a joint report by the American Rhodium Group and Merics in Berlin, direct investments by the People’s Republic in the EU and Great Britain amounted to around 6.5 billion euros in 2020. Compared to the previous year, a decrease of 45 percent. That is the lowest level in ten years.

June 16, 2021

Great minus for Great Britain

In the past year, even 77 percent less Chinese direct investment flowed into Great Britain. Even so, the UK remains one of the top three destinations for China’s investments in Europe – alongside France and Germany at the top. The three most important areas for Chinese investors were infrastructure, information and communication technology and electronics. Poland, promoted by a major acquisition, was a major new recipient last year.

01/14/2021

Stricter controls on Chinese purchases

However, many Chinese purchases are now being scrutinized more closely by the EU member states than in the past. Several planned takeovers did not materialize. In Germany, for example, the Federal Ministry of Economics stopped the planned sale of the radar specialist IMST from North Rhine-Westphalia to a Chinese company with links to the military. Several EU countries, including Italy, France, Poland and Hungary, had tightened their inspection mechanisms for direct investments from third countries last year. Investments continued to decline in the current year, according to the report. The reasons are the pandemic, high hurdles for capital outflows from China and tighter controls in the EU.

10/01/2019

Sanctions dispute exacerbates tensions

In addition, the tense relations between China and the EU are likely to play a role. That’s the way it is Investment protection agreements agreed in December between the EU and the People’s Republic is currently on hold and ratification by the European Parliament seems to be moving further and further into the distance. Another point of contention remains the human rights violations in China: In March, the EU Sanctions imposed on Chinese politicians and an organization for the first time in 30 years . The EU accuses China of violating human rights by suppressing the Uyghur Muslim minority in the Xinjiang region. As a result of the European punitive measures, China also reacted shortly thereafter with sanctions against European institutions and several EU politicians .

But whether it is Shizhu Village or Xilingxia Village, few people have heard of it, and it is still in the “less-known” tourism development. Xilingxia Village is located in the southwest of Quyuan Town, Zigui County. It is the southern gate of Quyuan Town. Provincial Highway 334 runs through it. It has convenient transportation and beautiful environment. Quyuan Town, this is a name with a taste of history. Zigui is the hometown of Qu Yuan and his birthplace is in Quyuan Town. Quyuan Town is located between Niuganmafei Gorge and Bingshubaojian Gorge in Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River, straddling the north and south banks of the Yangtze River. As the birthplace of Qu Yuan, the four major cultural celebrities in the world, the town of Quyuan has a profound cultural heritage and rich and colorful Xiajiang culture, but it is little known because of its deep hiding. As the most representative scenery of Xiling Gorge in Quyuan Town, it can be described as shocking. Xiling Gorge is famous for its twists and turns, forests of strange rocks, fast beaches, and thrilling boating. It is the longest canyon in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu once left a famous sentence of “Xiling Mountains and Waters Are Better in the World”. On the south bank of Xiling Gorge, there is a quiet and ancient village, Xiling Gorge Village, where Quyuan Culture and Xiajiang Culture meet. Xilingxia Village has a land area of ​​13.4 square kilometers and a forest coverage rate of 82%. On August 26, 2020, it was selected as the second batch of national rural tourism key villages. Xiajiang culture has been precipitated and passed on for thousands of years. Although Xilingxia Village is going to be developed for tourism, when we go all the way down the winding Panshan Road and when the scenery of Gaoxia Pinghu Lake is panoramic, Xilingxia Village, which is under tourism development, still exudes a primitive, natural and simple atmosphere. . Xilingxia Village has its name and power. Unlike the poetic and painting mood of Shizhu Village in Jiuwanxi Town, Xilingxia Village is full of grandeur and grandeur. Although the territory is not large, the geographical location facing the Yangtze River and the Lianzi Cliff shows its imposing pattern. It is located in the core area of ​​the Xiling Gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It is named after the Xiling Gorge, showing the steep and beautiful scenery of Xiling Gorge. . Xiling Gorge Village is home to three famous scenic spots: Lianzi Cliff, Niuganmafei Gorge, and Bingshu Baojian Gorge. Among them, the two famous geological disasters at home and abroad: the Xintan landslide and the Lianziyan project are breathtaking. They not only have infinite awe of nature, but also full of admiration for the current project. The management of dangerous rocks is a wonder. But just in such a “heroic” natural scenery, Xilingxia Village also has its own little sentiment. Walking into the village, I saw white walls and tiles, wooden lattice doors and windows. The beautiful village is like a tourist town that “shuns the world”. Overnight at the Manyun No. 1 B&B, the minor tunes of literary and artistic youth emerged spontaneously. Along the newly built riverside trail leading to the foot of Lianziya Mountain, the magnificent scenery of the Xiajiang River is refreshing. Thousands of sails in the river fly, orange groves on both sides of the bank, yellow and green side by side, fruitful, gorge winds, intoxicating, strange and dangerous landscapes and long cultural history teach people to linger. Xilingxia Village is located at 30°C north latitude, and the unique microclimate of the Xiajiang River creates the unique flavor of the fruits there. On the way to Lianziya, the scent of navel orange permeated, extending to the depths of the scenic spot. Lianzi Cliff was originally named “Lock Mountain” and “Lock Mountain”. According to legend, it has magical power to close the lock and will not fall for a long time. It is said to be a natural scenic spot integrating mountain climbing, range rover and adventure. There is “Zhu Rong” in the scenic spot. There are more than 100 large and small scenic spots such as statues, “Orange Song Garden”, Guixiang Temple, Wagang Village, and the Hall of Souls. Among them, I am quite interested in the Guixiang Temple (this is entirely due to my personal interest in Buddhist history and Buddhist architecture). The Guixiang Temple is named for commemorating Qu Yuan’s return to his hometown. It has a history of more than 1,700 years. It is the oldest temple in the Three Gorges area and the richest cultural connotation. The Guixiang Temple is built on the cliff, standing on the cliff, and standing in front of the Guixiang Temple. The scenery of Xiling Gorge and the scenic scenery of Gaoxia Ping Lake are unobstructed and unobstructed. And the Xilingxia Village, full of the scent of navel orange, looked like a painting from a distance.

In the past few days, the fact that 30 wolves rushed from the stage to the aisle of the audience during the performance of the live-action performance “Legend of Camel Bell” continued to attract attention.

The video of the performance showed that with fast-paced music, dozens of wolves rushed onto the stage from all directions, chasing and biting the performers. In the process of chasing and biting, many wolves rushed from the stage to the auditorium aisle, bypassed the aisle and ran again. Back to the stage.

The intense and exciting performance caused the audience present to exclaim bursts of exclamation.

Some people are worried about this: wolves are fierce by nature, will they attack people when they rush to the audience? Is the safety of the performance guaranteed? Some people also praised: The performance is full, I really want to see it.

In an interview with the media, the theater staff responded that the wolves participating in the performance are real wolves. These wolves are imported from Siberia and have wolf blood, but they are not as ferocious as wolves. They have been domesticated for several generations and have qualified certificates and dog training personnel. Also participate in performances.

Public information shows that “Legend of Camel Bell” is one of the projects of China Cultural Tourism Xi’an Resort.

On June 15th, a reporter from Wuhan Morning News contacted China Cultural Tourism Xi’an Resort. A staff member said that the “Legend of Camel Bell” had an anti-wolf net and a set wolf road, which separates the audience from the wolves. Since the performance, there have been no cases where the audience or the performers were injured by wolves.

He said that “Legend of Camel Bell” has been performed for 4 years, and there are almost every day. “The ticket price is divided into 298 yuan, 348 yuan, 398 yuan and 468 yuan. Each adult brings a child under 1.2 meters free.” It also said that “Legend of Camel Bell” is still operating normally, the business has not been affected, and the audience has not increased or decreased significantly.

△ “Legend of Camel Bell” performance site data map

China Cultural Tourism Xi’an Resort once issued an article introducing “Legend of Camel Bell”, saying that the whole performance is divided into the prologue “The Reappearance of the Years”, “Send the King a Thousand Miles”, “Wolf Road Distress”, “Exoticism”, “Auspicious Rain and Wash the Dust”, ” The seven-act plot of “The Return of Ying Lang” and “The Flourishing Age of China”.

Among them, in the scene of “Wolf Road in Distress”, the camel workers are not afraid of danger, and advance in the knowledge of difficulties, fighting for the road and fate of the wolves, all the way through volcanoes, avalanches, robbers, death deserts and other natural and man-made disasters. People left behind stories of perseverance.

He also introduced that the “Legend of Camel Bell” show has won the TEA Award for Outstanding Achievement, known as the Oscar in the international cultural and tourism industry, and the most influential and authoritative IAAPA highest award in the field of amusement performance equipment in global theme parks, the “Bronze Ring Award” and other international Authoritative awards.

The story is as follows: “After nearly 3 years of love, V. and I decided to get married in April 2019. However, in February of that year, I met T., one of the partners appointed by the company, I was in charge of cooperation, then everything started. head turns in the other direction. T. not only looks better than my lover, but also has a very rich family. Working together on a couple of projects, I realized that I and T. not only understand each other at work but also get along very well in conversation. With a lot of contact, we gradually developed feelings. More and more I see that T. is really the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with. Most importantly, if I take T., my future will be much brighter. The post of a young man After careful consideration, I secretly hid V. dating T. Many times I tried to turn the cards upside down with V. but I could not speak. Moreover, my parents liked her very much, always telling their sons to treat their future daughter-in-law well, so I was even more awkward. Really talking about feelings, I still love V. but as a man, I need to think further, know how to put money first. Therefore, after thinking carefully, I decided to help V. to perform my calculation, even though I knew for sure that I would have to endure a lot of pressure and scandal. Two days ago, I informed my parents that I would annul the marriage despite their scolding, I decided not to change. At the same time, I also met V. made it clear that I had found another half that was more perfect for me. V. helplessly accepted to break up with me without a word of complaint. After finishing with V., I always ran to my new love with many hopes for a bright tomorrow. At that time to me, T. was like a lever, only marrying her in the future, my career can go far. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned after that. Dating with a new lover for a few months, I discovered that she caught fish with two hands. Even more sad, although I accepted to be patient to ‘grow up’, T. still flatly refused. She said, her feelings for me are just play, never intended to marry a poor guy like me. The previous promises made to me were simply pleasant to say. Failure in love, my career after that time also encountered many difficulties. 2 years went by in a flash, last weekend I was fortunate to be recruited into a very good position in a large company. The sales director of that company was very young, only 2 years older than me, but talented and liberal. I’ve only been working for a few days and I have heard the company’s staff praise a lot about the boss, he is not only good at his profession but also loves his wife very much, which makes me quite curious. After dinner last night, I sat down and went to my boss’s personal page to take a look at his private life. When I saw the wedding photo my boss shared on his timeline, I was stunned, frozen. Unbelievably, the young wife who was loved and pampered by her boss so much that everyone in the company admired her was V., my girlfriend who used to cheat right next to the date of the engagement 2 years ago. Now she is the boss’s wife, living a rich and happy life, few compare. Illustration Along with looking at my boss’s facebook, I clicked on V’s personal page, so that my heart went numb before each photo, each status line she shared about the happy home with her husband. Looking at her facebook, the feeling of shame about the past once again rose up in me. The new job position I was enthusiastically working on suddenly lost interest. Not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t know how to face the boss – husband of my ex. Every time I look at my boss, I seem to look back at my wrong past, which makes me miserable and ashamed. Maybe I’ll resign before my boss knows who I am.” The mistake of the guy above is not too rare or unique. In fact, there are many people who have made such a serious mistake, by the time they realize the mistake, it is too late, there is no chance to do it again. The above story can be seen as a common lesson for young people, never let mistakes in the past affect your future, especially in love affairs.

Not only storing clothes she used to wear at special events, Kim Kardashian also loves to wear trendy clothes of the 1990s. She has been a loyal fan of the designs on the catwalk since 20 years ago. Beautiful people often buy these items at high prices and adjust them to fit their body shape. Kim tried on a sexy dress with a deep slit in a deep purple tone, sequin material in the company’s archive. She did not fit the Italian fashion house’s dress model just because the shape and waist line were too small, making it difficult for her to move. Kim decided to choose Versace’s body-hugging dress because of her passion for vintage clothes in the 1990s. Not only that, the classic dress shape and careful stitching also helped her enhance her hourglass figure and show off her bust. one. “The clothes of the past decades were much smaller than today’s tastes. Fit will be a big problem if you don’t have the perfect golden ratio like supermodel Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford or Kate Moss. . Size is the most difficult thing for clothes to be stored,” vintage researcher – Katy Rodriguez – shared with the newspaper. Page Six .

Analyzes show that the Colombian mammoth that inhabited North America during the last ice age was a hybrid between a woolly mammoth and a previously unknown line of mammoths. In addition, the study also provides new insights into when and how quickly mammoths adapted to cold climates. About a million years ago, there was no woolly mammoth on Earth (also known as tundra mammoth, scientific name: Mammuthus primigenius) ; or the Colombian mammoth (scientific name: Mammuthus columbi) , because they haven’t evolved yet. The ancient steppe mammoths were their ancestors. Researchers have now managed to analyze the genomes of three ancient mammoth species, using DNA recovered from mammoth teeth that had been buried for 0.7 to 1.2 million years in the permafrost layer. in Siberia. This is the first time DNA has been sequenced and authenticated from specimens that are millions of years old, and extracting DNA from these samples has been a challenge. The scientists found that only a small amount of DNA remained in the samples, and that they were broken down into very small fragments. Love Dalén, Professor of evolutionary genetics at the Center for Ancient Genetics in Stockholm, said: “This DNA is very ancient. The specimens are thousands of times older than the Viking relics, and even more predated the existence of humans and Neanderthals”. The ages of the specimens were determined using both geological data and molecular clocks. Both types of analysis show that two of the specimens are more than 1 million years old, while the third is about 700,000 years old and represents one of the earliest known woolly mammoths. come. The unexpected origin of the Colombian mammoth Genomic analysis shows that the oldest specimen, about 1.2 million years old, belongs to a previously unknown lineage of mammoth genes. The researchers call this the Krestovka mammoth, a name based on the area where it was found. The results show that the Krestovka mammoth diverged from other Siberian mammoth species more than 2 million years ago. “This came as a complete surprise to us. All previous studies have shown that there was only one species of mammoth in Siberia at that time, called the steppe mammoth. But the Our DNA analysis now shows that there are 2 different genetic lines, which we here call Mammoth Adycha and Mammoth Krestovka . We can’t say for sure yet, but we think they may represent two different species,” said Tom van der Valk, lead author of the study. Teeth of the Krestovka mammoth. Source: CPG The researchers also suggest that it was the mammoth of the Krestovka lineage that “dominated” North America about 1.5 million years ago. In addition, analyzes show that the Colombian mammoth, which lived in North America during the last ice age, was a hybrid. Nearly half of its genome comes from the Krestovka lineage and the other half from the woolly mammoth. “This is an important discovery. It seems that the Colombian mammoth, one of the most iconic species of the Ice Age in North America, evolved through a crossbreeding that took place about 420,000 years ago.” – Dong Author Patrícia Pečnerová said. Evolution and adaptation in the woolly mammoth The second million-year-old genome, from the Adycha mammoth, appears to be the ancestor of the woolly mammoth. The researchers were therefore able to compare its genome with that of one of the earliest known woolly mammoths that lived 0.7 million years ago, as well as with the genome of a mammoth. sucking only a few thousand years old. This makes it possible for scientists to investigate how mammoths adapted to life in cold environments and the extent to which this adaptation evolved during speciation. Proving how this giant animal has “risen” strongly over the past millions of years under extreme cold weather. The analyzes show that gene variants associated with life in the Arctic, such as hair growth, thermoregulation, fat accumulation, cold tolerance and circadian rhythms , appeared in the million-year-old mammoth, long before the origin of the woolly mammoth. These results indicate that most adaptations in the mammoth lineage occurred slowly and gradually over time. “Our analysis shows that most of the adaptations to cold weather were present in the ancestors of the woolly mammoth, and we found no evidence for natural selection. faster in speciation,” said co-author David Díez-del-Molino. Like their modern relatives, mammoths were quite large. The largest known species reach a height of 4 m and a weight of up to 8 tons, with some particularly large males weighing more than 12 tons. Future research The new results open the door to a host of future studies on other species. Love Dalén and co-author Patrícia Pečnerová with a mammoth tusk on Wrangel Island (Arctic Ocean). Photo: Gleb Danilov About a million years ago was a time when many species of organisms flourished across the globe. This is also a time of great changes in climate and sea levels, and the last time the Earth’s magnetic poles change positions. Therefore, the researchers think that genetic analyzes on this time scale have great potential to explore a wide range of scientific questions. “One of the big questions right now is how far back in time we can go. We haven’t reached the limit for the longest. It is expected that we can recover DNA that is two million years old, and even more so. can even go back as far as 2.6 million. Before that, there was no permafrost where ancient DNA could be preserved.” Anders Götherström, Professor of Molecular Archeology and lead researcher at the Center for Paleontology. These findings are published in the journal Nature.

Huynh Hong Loan’s share posted on social networks quickly attracted netizens. 3 years ago, Huynh Hong Loan bought the first house in District 6, HCMC.

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

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

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

11 new first-tier cities over 10 million

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Expelled from the party after more than two years of retirement

According to Liaoning Provincial Commission for Discipline InspectionAccording to the report, after investigation, Qi Yumin lost his ideals and beliefs. Ignore party discipline and state laws and oppose organizational censorshipViolating the spirit of the eight central regulations, accepting gift money that may affect the fair execution of official duties, arranging and using official vehicles in violation of regulations; violating the rules of procedure and violating regulations to determine major issues, concealing personal matters, and failing to truthfully explain the issues when organizing letter inquiries. Use power to seek benefits for others in the selection and appointment of cadres;Borrow money from management and service targets, run business in violation of regulations, get paid for part-time jobs in violation of regulations, and engage in money-and-color transactions; Dereliction of duty and responsibility for the false reporting of profit issues of Brilliance Group; dereliction of control and education of spouses and children; use of the convenience of the position to seek benefits for others and request and illegally accept property;Use the convenience of the position to embezzle public funds to others for profit-making activities; Abuse of power has caused serious losses to state-owned companies and caused heavy losses to national interests.

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.

On June 12, according to a report by the US “Defense World”, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) President Thamel Kothier said that Turkey is stepping up the development of the fifth-generation stealth fighter TF-X. The current development of this fighter Work is going very smoothly, and the first prototype will fly for the first time in 2023. After the United States kicked Turkey out of the F-35 project, Turkey has increased the research and development of the TF-X project and invited many international companies to participate in the research and development, and Pakistan is also interested in partnering with Turkey.

Previously, Turkey’s insistence on purchasing Russia’s S-400 air defense system led to extreme deterioration in its relations with the United States. Therefore, the United States seized the F-35 fighter jets ordered by Turkey and refused to return the deposit paid by Turkey. The United States also imposed sanctions on Turkey and stopped paying Turkey sells various military equipment. In addition, in order to retaliate against Turkey, the United States also intends to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey’s opponent Greece, so that Turkey will lose air supremacy in the Aegean Sea. Greece has already ordered French Rafale fighters. If the Turkish Air Force is not equipped with new fighters, it will soon fall into a disadvantage.

Turkey claims that the TF-X fighter jet is composed of approximately 20,000 parts. The production of most of the parts will be completed by the end of 2022. Among them, the most difficult to process is the titanium alloy parts for the engine. However, the Turkish Aerospace Industry Corporation has produced a large number of F- 16 fighter jets, with rich manufacturing experience in such parts. In addition, Turkey is also preparing to cooperate with a Ukrainian company to produce hydraulic transmission mechanisms that control the wing surfaces. The Turkish company Aselsan will be responsible for the avionics equipment of the TF-X fighter, and Havelsan will be responsible for the development of flight control software.

However, if Turkey’s TF-X fighter wants to be successfully developed, it is still facing engine problems. If there is no available engine, the first flight of the TF-X fighter will be impossible to talk about. Previously, Turkey’s T-129 gunship used the American CTS800 turboshaft engine. After the United States imposed sanctions on Turkey, the production of the T-129 gunship encountered serious problems and has not been able to be delivered to other customers. Now that Turkey wants to develop a fifth-generation stealth fighter, the engine is still Turkey’s old problem. It will take at least 10 years for any country to develop a reliable turbofan engine from scratch. Therefore, Turkey will temporarily choose to find a temporary engine. “Guest”, Russia’s RD33 engine is one of the potential targets.

For a medium-sized fighter, the 160 kN thrust provided by the two RD33 engines is completely sufficient, and the FC-31 uses a similar engine. However, if TF-X fighters want to achieve supersonic cruise, they need more powerful engines. The current turbofan engines suitable for medium-sized fighters, only the European EJ200 and the American F414 meet the indicators, but Turkey obviously cannot obtain these two models. The engine can only rely on self-developed.

Pakistan has tasted the sweetness of cooperative research and development on the JF-17 fighter, so it is very willing to join Turkey’s TF-X fighter program. Compared with India’s AMCA fighter, Turkey’s TF-X fighter is making faster progress, which means that Pakistan has It may be equipped with fifth-generation fighter jets ahead of India, and for the first time in nearly 50 years, it has achieved an advantage in air force equipment performance.

On the evening of June 14th, Juran Zhijia (SZ:000785) issued multiple announcements in a row, disclosing various contents such as “Adjustment of Beijing Juran Zhijia Home Furnishing Chain Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Home Chain”) related performance commitments.

Jiaranzhijia said that in view of the comprehensive impact of various factors such as the sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic in early 2020, the listed company plans to adjust the performance commitments of the home chain after consultation with the performance pledger.

In the original performance promise, the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company after deducting non-recurring gains and losses (hereinafter referred to as “net profit deducted from the parent company”) realized by the household chain in 2020 should not be less than about 2.42 billion yuan; and financial data Shows that this indicator for the household chain in 2020 is about 1.297 billion yuan, which is 1.118 billion yuan less than the original performance commitment, and the performance completion rate is 53.59%.

The announcement shows that after this adjustment, the household chain will no longer assume the performance indicator of deducting non-parent net profits in 2020; the original performance commitment will be postponed to the next fiscal year, that is, 2021; in addition, other performance compensation The method and calculation formula, the implementation of profit compensation and other original terms are not adjusted.

Jia Ranzhi was established in 1999. In December 2019, it backdoor Wuhan China Merchants reorganization and listing and landed on the A-share capital market. At that time, Jia Ranzhi signed a performance betting agreement with Wuhan Zhongshang, the holder of Shell Resources.

In 2019, the first annual report after listing, home furnishing chain achieved 2.117 billion yuan of net profit deducted from the parent company, fulfilling the first performance period commitment; but in the first year after backdoor, the home furnishing chain performance was unqualified for gambling.

In the first quarter of this year after the epidemic, the business of Jia Ranzhi ushered in a rebound. According to the plan of Jiaranzhijia, in 2021, it will have breakthroughs in the development of six self-service modes, and the establishment of its first overseas store outside the country.

Home furnishing chain deducts only 1.297 billion yuan in net profit from non-returned parent in 2020, “unqualified”

The result of “the first year of backdoor performance is not qualified for gambling” has been reflected in the 2020 annual performance forecast announcement. At that time, Jiaranzhijia had announced that in 2020, the non-net profit will be reduced by up to 30% to only 1.45 billion yuan; and that “preliminary estimates that the home chain will not be able to complete the 2020 annual performance forecast”.

Judging from the statement of the announcement, the new crown epidemic is the main factor that has caused such a predicament for home furnishing chains. Jiaranzhijia stated that “the household chain’s operating income was directly reduced by 2.161 billion yuan due to the impact of the epidemic, and the net profit attributable to the parent company will be reduced by 1.277 billion yuan after deducting non-recurring gains and losses in 2020.”

Among them, home furnishing chains reduced rents, property fees, market management fees, and advertising and promotion fees for a total of 1.569 billion yuan (72.6%); during the epidemic period, the leased area was reduced, and the rent was also reduced by 259 million yuan; Signing of franchise stores has been significantly reduced compared with the same period and plan, and the loss of household chain stores is 152 million yuan.

However, due to multiple factors such as preferential policies and property owners’ rent reductions, the household chain will save 443 million yuan in operating costs in 2020.

The home furnishing business is mainly engaged in home furnishing products retail, home improvement services, home store business, decoration business and other pan-furniture businesses. In December 2019, after nearly a year, the home actually backdoored Wuhan Zhongshang to land in the A-share market (issued by Wuhan Zhongshang) The shares purchased 100% of the home furnishing chain) and became another home furnishing store giant that has landed on the A-share market after Macalline (SH: 601828).

At that time, from the book assets alone, the transaction consideration of 35.65 billion yuan between the two parties was not cheap; compared with the net asset value of 11.199 billion yuan involved in the transaction, the premium rate was 218.54%.

As a result, this also left the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the unexpected house-the gambling agreement. At that time, the two parties made performance commitments for the home furnishing chain: from 2019 to 2021, the home furnishing chain will achieve a net profit of no less than 2.06 billion yuan, 2.42 billion yuan and 2.72 billion yuan, respectively.

The agreement signed by the two parties also clarified that “if a force majeure event occurs that causes part of the original profit forecast compensation agreement to be unfulfilled or delayed, neither party is required to bear any liability for breach of contract due to the unfulfilled part or delayed performance caused by the force majeure event.” .

The first annual report after listing is the first performance commitment period. The net profit of household chain deductions from non-parents is approximately 2.117 billion yuan, far exceeding the commitment target of 2.06 billion yuan, and the performance completion rate is 102.76%.

In the first year after the backdoor, that is, the second performance commitment period, the final result showed that the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company in the consolidated statement of the household chain was 1.368 billion yuan; the actual profit is the net profit after the deduction of the non-parent company after the consolidated statement. 1.297 billion yuan; and 2.42 billion yuan of performance commitments, there is still a gap of 1.118 billion yuan.

Photo source: “Special Verification Opinions of CITIC Securities Co., Ltd. on the Realization of the 2020 Performance Commitments and Performance Commitment Adjustments of Beijing Juranzhijia Home Chain Co., Ltd

In view of this, Zhiranzhijia said that it intends to adjust the performance commitments: After the adjustment, the net profit of the home chain in 2019, 2021 and 2022 will not be less than 2.06 billion yuan, 2.42 billion yuan and 2.72 billion yuan, respectively. ; In addition, the original performance does not make adjustments to other major terms in the gambling agreement.

In other words, after this adjustment, the 2020 performance commitment of the home furnishing chain will be postponed to the next fiscal year, 2021.

According to the announcement, the new crown epidemic is an unforeseen and insurmountable force majeure event that was unpredictable and insurmountable when the original performance betting agreement was signed, and it is directly related to the failure of the household chain to achieve the 2020 performance promise, so this adjustment plan is reasonable.

“This adjustment plan is conducive to further urging home furnishing chains and companies to increase the speed of performance recovery, increase the rate of performance improvement, and essentially improve the quality of listed companies, which is conducive to the long-term interests of all shareholders, especially small and medium shareholders.” Jiaran said.

This year’s GMV may exceed 100 billion yuan, and plans to open no less than 70 new stores

The annual report shows that due to the impact of the epidemic, the total revenue of the house in 2020 was 8.993 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.56%; the net profit attributable to the parent was 1.363 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 56.81%.

In December of the same year, the unexpected home announced that it had completed a fixed increase of 3.5 billion, and companies such as Xiaomi, Ali, and Centennial Life Insurance appeared in the list of subscription targets, which brought a great “blood-tonifying” effect to the unexpected home affected by the epidemic.

Among them, Xiaomi Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., furniture listed company Gujia Home Furnishing (SH: 603816), and Centennial Life Insurance each subscribed for 14.1643 million shares, each with a shareholding ratio of 0.22%; Alibaba (Chengdu) Software Technology Co., Ltd. subscribed 28,329,600 shares, with a shareholding ratio of 0.43%.

Compared with the same period in 2019, the growth rates have also reached 61% and 43% respectively.

In this regard, Jiaranzhijia said that during the reporting period, the investment rate of the company’s direct-operated stores has overcome the impact of the epidemic and returned to a high level, and the expansion of franchise stores has also resumed rapid growth.

It also predicts that the company’s GMV is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan in 201, and it plans to open no less than 70 new stores throughout the year.

For Jia Ranzhi, 2021 is the second fiscal year after listing, and it is also a crucial year for its digital strategy. In December last year, Jia Ranzhi held a new retail achievement and digital strategy press conference, and for the first time disclosed in detail the new strategy of “building a home improvement and home furnishing industry service platform in the digital age”.

Wang Linpeng, chairman and chief executive officer of Juran Home, said that Juran Home is no longer a traditional home furnishing store, a traditional home retail enterprise, and a real estate-style property service provider. It must become an enterprise with long-term value.

The old house located on the rooftop of a villa in Bac Tu Liem district (Hanoi) makes many passersby curious because of its unique architecture, combining traditional features inside a modern building. so. This project is owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Vu and his wife, Quynh Lien. The total area of ​​a floor is 460 m2, the area of ​​the old church is 100 m2. Looking from afar on Lien Mac dike, the house stands out. The outside is covered with antique imitation refractory brick. Quynh Lien shared that in the past, the family owned an old church, and the neighbors had not built much, so the space was very open. But when the storey building continued to grow, the house was blocked and lost. With an age of more than 100 years, the family calculates that the old house will deteriorate, so it needs to be repaired for long-term use. In addition, the family has a 4-generation tradition of making sculpture, so they also want more space to display products. Therefore, Ms. Lien said this unique project was born. Quynh Lien said that it took her husband about 2 years to come up with the idea of ​​​​designing a house that combines classic and modern. In 1 year of construction (from February 2020), she and her husband had to edit a lot by themselves until they liked it. “We want the villa to be both a place to keep and preserve the old church and a place for our parents to stay close and familiar. Relatives feel very happy to know that my husband and I will keep them. I got the old house because this is the place that holds so many memories of people in the past,” Quynh Lien shared. Ms. Lien said that before putting it on the rooftop, the entire old church had to be demolished, brought to a wood workshop in Quoc Oai district for repair, and then returned to the roof of the villa. The traditional wooden house structure of the church is still preserved with wooden trusses, fish-scale tile roof and 3 compartments and 2 wings. The traditional layout is still maintained, with enough counters, mahogany furniture, sofa tables and chairs. The small Buddha altar is at the top, then the family altar, the altar to worship the gods. The hundred-year-old horizontal paintings and couplets are still preserved. The family added a few details in the design such as wooden floors, self-contained toilets, glass windows… to match the modern lifestyle. The roof, the owner uses traditional jackfruit wood to make the support. The new tile is custom-made according to the original prototype. At the rooftop campus, Ms. Lien’s family decorated more miniatures, aquariums, etc. with pure Vietnamese decoration. In addition, many products made by the Lien family, such as Buddha statues, musical couples, etc., are also displayed around the yard. Another highlight in the innovative structure of this building is that the courtyard brick foundation is not red brick but white brick. According to the owner, the house on high is easy to catch the sun, so the white tile will be reduced, which makes the floor cooler. At the same time, the decorations will stand out, not mixed in color. The steps entering the old house are also changed, looking new and modern. “I maintain and develop, not just rebuild like the ancient way, the landscape is more suitable for the current and more innovative lifestyle,” Lien explained. Around the old house, Ms. Lien planted trees such as apples, jackfruit, star fruit, guava, bougainvillea, vi… to make the space cooler. The overall design of the villa has 5 floors. In the photo is the space on the first floor to receive guests, the mezzanine floor as a room to hang pictures, the family’s sculpture museum. The 2nd floor is a gallery of sculpture products of the production company, the 3rd floor is the family room, the 4th floor is the old church and where grandparents live, displaying other works. Finally, the 5th floor is the gym and technical room. The 5th floor ceiling design space is like a park, both a place for children and grandchildren to play, and a place to gather to enjoy the family’s BBQ.

The old chimney built of red bricks is located on the campus of Pullman Hanoi Hotel. Photo: Qinghai Location of Pullman Hanoi hotel, formerly Tam Tile Factory or La Tuilerie Tonkinoise. The factory is equipped with presses to produce bricks and tiles; there are two chimneys 50m high, built according to European standards to draw air into the double tunnels of the kiln, each 100m long. The factory was built by Mr. Nguyen Van Giem, also known as Nam Giem. During its heyday, more than 600 workers worked here. The factory was shut down during World War II and reopened in 1956, and later became a state-owned enterprise.
Entering the renovation period, the factory and land were invested with foreign FDI capital to build one of the first five-star hotels in Hanoi but still retain a chimney. In the project of building the hotel, the designers once intended to destroy both chimneys of the brick factory. Fortunately, in the end, “historical evidence” was kept to decorate the hotel due to the demolition party, after the demolition of the first one, the price was too high for the other. Perhaps this is also a “destiny”, not a human effort.
Today, the more than hundred-year-old chimney looks so small and simple compared to the majestic buildings or the splendor and prosperity of Hanoi Capital. However, this evidence has contributed greatly to making Pullman Hanoi Hotel well known to many people, especially for those who love Hanoi and want to keep the old beauty in the heart of the city, which contains both cultural and cultural elements. history in the same space.
Priceless Values
There is a man named Martin Rama who fights tirelessly for the preservation of ancient Hanoi. He has a photo book “Hanoi a roaming place” taken and written by him, while implementing the project “Sustainable Urban Development in Hanoi – Sustainable Development of Hanoi Capital” initiated and chaired by him. The project aims to advise the city on how to develop the new and preserve the old. Anyone who loves Hanoi like Martin loves how to keep the beauty of Asia mixed with French architecture, the look of Russian onions, ancient China and a little bit of the wet rice civilization rising low and high, in the heart. City…
Today, Hanoi in particular and Asian cities in general have made rapid development steps, many commercial centers have been built but still lack a high-class commercial center that can combine shopping. with cultural and historical elements in the same space. In London (UK) has a Covent Garden, San Francisco (USA) has a beautiful Ghirardelli area.
Many investors find demolishing old houses and building new ones as the cheapest way and according to the wishes of people with money. But the cultural values ​​hidden in each brick or wall with hundreds of years old cannot be calculated in money. According to Martin Rama, an important principle that needs special attention is to prioritize in-situ resettlement for the original residents of Hanoi. He said that Hanoi is inherently attractive and unique not only because of its uniqueness in architecture and landscape… but also by its residents. Every Hanoian is already a cultural entity with great attraction, this value cannot be calculated in money…
Returning to Pullman Hanoi and its durable old chimney, I secretly wish, if only investors were like this hotel owner, understanding what cultural and historical elements are in the same space to be next to. The construction of the new building still preserves some of the old features. Currently, the Cat Linh underground station of the Nhon UMRT line – Hanoi station, with an entrance next to the Pullman hotel on Cat Linh street is under construction and gradually formed. We, the people of the Capital and tourists can completely go to Pullman by French-style subway and hope that 100 years later, there is still a historic chimney.
With another UMRT project, Line 2, section Nam Thang Long – Tran Hung Dao, international visitors can go directly from Noi Bai airport to Hoan Kiem lake, connecting from the modern place to the “sacred and sacred” place. pompous”. On that UMRT line, there is underground station C9 (Hoan Kiem station) which will be a link between the past – present – future, contributing to the construction of the capital of a thousand years of civilization, bright – green – clean – beautiful… The construction The metro station in Hoan Kiem Lake area not only develops transportation infrastructure, contributing to socio-economic development, it is also a way to bring tourists from all over the world to the heart of the capital. do, is the current hyphen with the thousand-year cultural values ​​of Thang Long – Dong Do – Hanoi. The story of the chimney column that survives the construction of a monumental structure is a good example of the success of an approach that respects the past. The capital of Hanoi has thousands of years of civilization, through a long history we have countless stories like that, the heritages carry with them layers of cultural and historical sediments that need to be enhanced and brought to life. new colors over time.
