The 73rd Cannes Film Festival was originally scheduled to be held from May 12 to 23

1905 movie network feature "We have a tradition that Cannes is the first sign of summer."The artistic director of the Cannes International Film Festival, Fermat, recently expressed the hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible in mid-May, and the festival will be held as scheduled from May 12 to May 23. But judging from the current situation, such an idea is too optimistic.

In addition to Cannes, several recent film festivals originally scheduled to be held in March, April and May have been postponed or cancelled,Including the French Real Film Festival, the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Miami Film Festival.So far, the official statement of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee is:The cancellation or postponement will not be announced until at least April 15, the eve of the announcement of the entry list.

Why is Cannes still "struggling"?

It was first rumored to be because of the insurance premium. If cancelled, a French insurance company could compensate 2 million euros, but the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival has refused. However, this year’s festival’s operating budget is 32 million euros, which is not a big deal for Cannes.The president of the festival, Pierre Lescule, also said that even if it is cancelled, it will have little impact on the financial operation of the festival itself, because the festival has certain reserves and fund support.

The main reason is still to go back to the movie itself.

As one of the largest international film festivals in the world, there are not only red carpets and starlight, but also hundreds of new films from all over the world participate in competitions and screenings every year, especially for art films, where you can enjoy large-scale international exposure and discussion.

Last year, for example, Diao Yinan’s directorship and Hu Ge’s starring role were shortlisted for the main competition, and the new director’s work also received praise in the parallel section. With the help of the Cannes platform, these new Chinese-language films first earn enough popularity overseas, which is also good for the promotion of their release in China.

At the same time, thousands of films are also traded in the Cannes Film Market for international sales of copyrights and distribution every year.For example, Jia Zhangke’s works in 2015, which were shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes that year, cost about 40 million yuan, and the cost has been recovered through overseas copyright sales on platforms such as the Cannes market on the eve of domestic release.

The entire Cannes Film Festival team is still working on contingency measures, such as limiting the number of spectators in cinemas and other venues. But the French government has announced a law-wide ban on gatherings of more than 100 people.According to statistics, the Cannes Film Festival attracted about 60,000 participants every day last year. If the ban continues until May, how can the festival scale down the event to meet the standards? Then how many people are willing to take the risk to participate in the event?

If cancellations are confirmed, a number of international studios and agencies have also agreed to jointly create an online marketplace in early May, including promoting new films to buyers, showing flowers or samples, etc. However, such remedial measures will still affect market transactions.

The Cannes International Film Festival has been cancelled three times since its first edition in 1946.It was suspended in 1948 and 1950 due to financial difficulties, and in 1968 due to the impact of the "May storm", when Truffaut, Godard and other French New Wave directors jointly blocked the screening of the film, and the festival was forced to suspend.

Directors such as Truffaut and Godard block Cannes film screening

Half a century later, the number of new films produced has increased sharply year by year. If it is cancelled this year, it will be difficult for many films originally scheduled to appear in Cannes to compete with other new films and squeeze into subsequent film festivals, such as the Venice and Toronto film festivals. If it is postponed, it will be difficult for Cannes to find a suitable time to resume.

So the question of what to do now is to point the debut stage to Cannes or other major films at festivals that have been postponed or cancelled.

Chinese Discourse

First of all, from the perspective of Chinese films, there are three major directors’ new works poised for release:Xu Anhua’s, Tian Zhuangzhuang’s and Zhang Yimou’s.

Adapted from a classic novel by Zhang Ailing and starring Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan, "First Incense" has attracted much attention in the industry. The film was completed in mainland scenes at the end of July last year, and its first stills were also exposed at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year.

Xu Anhua’s work has never been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, but judging from her past experience in other film festivals,"First Incense" is more likely to go to the Venice Film Festival.

Tian Zhuangzhuang’s "Birdsong" was completed in January this year. This is his new work after a decade of absence from directing. In addition, the film is adapted from Acheng’s novel "King of Trees", and the other two "Three Kings" novels have been adapted into movies, so the outside world has high expectations for this film.

Last year, Tian Zhuangzhuang brought his old 1988 film to the Cannes Classic Restoration Unit, and Fu Mao personally presided over the pre-screening activities. According to this friendship,If the quality of "Birdsong" is reliable, the Cannes Film Festival will not be cancelled, and it is very likely to be selected for a certain section.

Director Tian Zhuangzhuang

"Solid as a Rock" has been submitted for review after the National Day last year, but there has been no release news."Solid as a Rock" is Zhang Yimou’s first attempt to shoot a police and bandit action movie. According to the director himself, the film’s screen is very unique and has the cold style of a modern city.

The last time Zhang Yimou went to Cannes was in 2014 with his participation in the screening. "Solid as a Rock" has been in the confidential stage, and it is still unknown whether it has been delivered to the film festival. His next new work was still filmed in the Northeast Snow Township at the end of December last year, and there is no news on whether it was stopped by the epidemic.

Mai Junlong directs the works that are currently the most highly anticipated in the industry and are headed for Cannes or other international film festivals.The starring lineup is super luxurious, and it gathers powerful actors such as Takeshi Kancheng, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun, Koo Tianle, and Gao Yuanyuan. It was cut at the end of July last year, and it is said that the amount of post productin is very large.

Director Zhang Ming was shortlisted for the 2018 Cannes Film Festival Director’s Fortnight, his new love suspense film"Hot Soup."Then it appeared in the trading market of the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and it should continue to move towards other international film festivals.

Mei Feng won the best screenplay in the main competition at Cannes, directing a new work"Love Song 1980"Starring Li Xian and Chunxia, some samples were completed last year, with a strong literary temperament and the opportunity to participate in Cannes. And the new director works starring Wan Qian and Huang Jue"Rabbit Violence"It is also expected by the industry. Will it be the next "Spring River Plumbing" to go international?

Sino-Japanese co-filming and also want to find its audience through Cannes or other international film festivals."Yanagawa" was completed at the end of January this year, starring Ni Ni, Zhang Luyi, Xin Baiqing, Ikimatsu Zhuangliang, Nakano Yoshiko, etc. Director Zhang Lu is a regular at major film festivals.

The film "Nara Again" about an old Chinese woman looking for a Japanese orphan and adopted daughter is produced by two directors, Jia Zhangke and Kawase Naomi. As old friends of Cannes "direct", it is not unreasonable for them to support the new director Peng Fei to enter Cannes.

In addition to these new Chinese films, Wong Kar-wai’s classic this year coincides with the 20th anniversary of its release. The film had its world premiere in the main competition section of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and Tony Leung also won the Best Actor Award.

Cannes officials previously announced that the 4K restored version of "In the Mood for Love" will be unveiled in the classic restoration unit, and Wong Kar-wai will also attend the screening.If the Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, the 4K restoration of "In the Mood for Love" will have to find the next premiere platform.

Overseas

For overseas films, several blockbuster new titles from Asia, Europe, and the United States have long been locked into the main competition at Cannes.

Wes Anderson’s is similar to last year’s, but the stars will be brighter,With Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Francis McDormand, Leia Seydoux, Sweet Tea, Saoirse Ronan and dozens of other internationally renowned actors co-starring, no film could be more suitable for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.

French director Leo Carrax’s previous film was recently selected as one of the 10 best films of the 2010s by the Cinema Handbook.His new film, Annette, is a musical and his first English film.Starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, it is arguably the most watched film of the year and the top choice at Cannes.

Thai director Apichatpong won the Palme d’Or a decade ago, and this year is the latest collaboration with Tilda Swinton"Memory."The film is currently in its later stages, and Jia Zhangke’s film company has also participated in the production of this film.

In addition, the Palme d’Or director Nanni Moletti’s "Three Floors" and Lauren Guntai’s "Arthur Rambo" were also selected for the main competition.

Cannes "familiar faces" Naomi Kawase’s "Dawn is Coming", Dumont’s "It’s Half Clear This Morning", Ojung’s "85 Midsummer", Sophia Coppola’s "On the Rocks" and Paul Van Hoeven’s "Our Lady" are also pointing at Cannes.

If the Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, what other new films will we miss?

I only hope that the epidemic can pass as soon as possible, as Fu Mao wished: "This year’s Cannes Film Festival will be the first international event to celebrate life, praise life, and regenerate."I also hope that all future film festivals can be held smoothly and continue to showcase more outstanding films to us.

??　　 Tonight (January 21), the 2023 CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rabbit arrived as scheduled. The program on the stage was wonderful, and the talented netizens also discovered many interesting highlights and warm and touching moments during the Spring Festival Gala. Here are eight highlights to share with you.

??Behind-the-scene 1: Yang Zi and Wu Lei are wearing "wrong" clothes? netizens teased: Why didn’t the notification be in place!

??The 2023 CCTV Year of the Rabbit Spring Festival Gala opened with Yang Zi, Zhao Liying, Song Zuer, Wan Qian, Bai Yu and other artists singing "Flowers Bloom and Planter".

??Some netizens noticed that during the opening performance, most of the artists on stage wore red clothes, and Yang Zi’s blue dress looked very "abrupt". Coincidentally, when Wu Lei performed the show later, netizens also found that the other three artists in the same group as him were wearing leather tops, only Wu Lei was different from everyone else.

??In this regard, netizens teased: "What? Why didn’t you inform Yang Zi and Wu Lei to wear the same clothes? Are these two classmates disconnected from the Internet?"

??Behind-the-scene 2: Spring Festival Gala clothing has attracted heated discussions, Yue Yunpeng Weibo responded: It doesn’t matter if we complain

??In the 2023 CCTV Year of the Rabbit Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala regulars Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue brought the crosstalk performance "My Change, Change, Change". Unexpectedly, their costumes first caused a wave of heated discussions and were ridiculed like a double-door refrigerator.

??After the performance, Yue Yunpeng, who got his mobile phone, also noticed the discussion among the netizens, and personally sent a Weibo response to the ridicule: "It’s Chinese New Year, everyone is happy, it’s okay to complain to us, it’s okay to say that our clothes are double-door refrigerators, it’s a bit hahahahahaha!" It seems that the imagination of the netizens has also successfully amused Xiao Yue Yue!

??Behind- the-scene 3: Did you come for dinner? Netizen ridicule: Zhang Ruoyun can eat too much, right?

??It was also during the interactive session of "My Change, Change, Change" that Zhang Ruoyun and others shared the roast chicken that Yue Yunpeng "changed" to eat. The other artists ate very "reserved", and when the camera turned to Zhang Ruoyun, he could not smile when he got the chicken, and then he took a large piece of chicken and ate it very fragrant.

??No wonder some netizens ridiculed Zhang Ruoyun for contributing the first joke of this year’s Spring Festival Gala: "Others are here to participate in the show, but Zhang Ruoyun is really here to eat!"

??Behind- the-scene 4: Deng Chao cuts wide angles as soon as he runs? Sun Li smiled and said: The director of the Spring Festival Gala has experience

??The first Weibo "detonation" hot search for the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit was brought by the artist Deng Chao. The reason turned out to be that netizens thought he was simply too funny!

??Last year, Deng Chao appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time. During the chorus program, he was too excited and acted too lively, which caused a heated discussion among netizens. Even his wife Sun Li posted a Weibo joke after watching the program: "It’s almost out of the camera"!

??When the audience learned that there was still Deng Chao in this year’s Spring Festival Gala, they once teased, wondering if Brother Chao would still be excited this year? And it turned out that our Brother Chao did not forget his original intention as always, and his excitement was still the happiest person in the Spring Festival Gala!

??His wife, Sun Li, also stayed in front of the TV early to pay attention to Deng Chao’s performance. After watching her husband’s performance, Sun Li also specially sent a Weibo laugh: "This year, the director has experience. As soon as Brother Chao runs, hurry up and cut the wide angle!"

??Behind-the-scene 5: The Spring Festival Gala reappears God is misplaced! Sabine changes to "Nina Belle" in seconds

??After becoming "Mickey Mouse" on the stage of the gala a few years ago due to stage dislocation, this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala host Sabine performed a god dislocation with a group of cute "little rabbits". From the opening host’s camera, Sabine seemed to have grown two rabbit ears. It is not only like wearing plush jewelry to "act cute", but also bumped into the shape of Lingna Belle, who has been on fire in recent years. No wonder netizens shouted: "Ning Na Belle is here!"

??Behind-the-scene 6: The witty response is praised, and Sabine is the first person to self-" anti-black "

??In addition, the highlights were still brought by Sabine. In the middle of the Spring Festival Gala, during a series of interactions, Sabine immediately responded to the hot discussion about himself "wearing high heels" and "wearing rabbit ears to act cute".

??In tonight’s Spring Festival Gala host, Sabine was first mistaken by netizens for "acting cute" wearing rabbit ears because of the wrong angle with the "little rabbit" behind him. Later, netizens found that his height was not dominant. He was wearing a pair of leather shoes with a high heel to host the program, and the topic of "how high is Sabine’s heel" was ridiculed and discussed by netizens.

??In the live broadcast session that followed, Sabine responded tactfully and interacted with the rabbit mascot funnily: "The netizens all said that I wear high heels, but you still think I’m short?" Then, he took the initiative to put on a real rabbit ear hood and responded to the hot search "God Dislocation".

??Behind-the-scene 7: Got caught by the door? Zhou Shen: "Take bamboo shoots"?

??In the Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rabbit, singer Zhou Shen dedicated the affectionate song "Flowers Bloom and Forget Worries".

??After Zhou Shen’s performance, some netizens said that they saw someone say that Zhou Shen was caught by the door on the stage at Moments. The reason was that when Zhou Shen sang, the lyrics and subtitles appeared around Zhou Shen, and the word "door" happened to be stuck on Zhou Shen’s head, as if it was "caught" by the door. After making such a joke, some netizens laughed and said: "It’s not easy for Zhou Shen to play bamboo shoots!"

??Behind-the-scene 8: Wang Zhuangliang brought his brothers to the Spring Festival Gala? Re-employment boy group: Received the "password"

??Singer Wang Zhuangliang sang the song "I’ve Been Drinking With the Past" with Su Youpeng, Wang Sulong, and Jiang Yuheng. At the end of the song, some careful netizens noticed that he deliberately compared the "six" gesture, which seemed to refer to bringing the "Re-Employment Boys Group" brothers to the Spring Festival Gala together.

??Last year, Wang Zhuangliang and Chen Chusheng, Xingxing, Zhang Yuan, Lu Hu, and Wang Yixin became popular with their interesting and emotional variety shows, and they also had a limited group name: Reemployment Men’s Group.

??Over the past year, the re-employment men’s group has joined forces to "re-employment" on multiple stages, and has also brought many wonderful presentations to the audience. Before, several brothers had expressed their hope to appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but in the end this year, only Wang Jieliang participated in the whole process. Although the other five people failed to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, some careful netizens found that after Wang Jieliang finished performing the song, he deliberately raised his hand and raised a "six" gesture, which always refers to the "re-employment men’s group" brothers. Users said: "I’m touched! Brother Liang is bringing his five brothers to the Spring Festival Gala!"

??After the show ended, Lu Hu, Wang Yixin, and Zhang Yuan sent Weibo to support Wang Zhuang Liang, and Lu Hu called out more directly: "Have you received the password gesture that Brother Liang gave us?" Then he added a "tears running" expression, looking very moved. (xlzy/text)

This was no ordinary news, after all, every day a brand announces its new spokesperson.

But when it comes to Wahaha, it is extraordinary. Because the last official spokesperson of Doll Ha Pure Water was still 22 years ago.

Wahaha X Wang Leehom, 20 years of endorsement

Wang Leehom emerges

In 1998, when Wang Leehom first made his debut, he did not have much popularity in the mainland. Zong Qinghou defied all odds and signed Wang Leehom as a brand spokesperson. This was also Wang Leehom’s first endorsement in the mainland.

Wang Leehom is still just a newcomer, having just made his mark with his album "Circle and Rotate".

At that time, Wahaha was more popular than Wang Leehom, and many people also knew him through Wahaha advertisements on TV…

With the Wahaha mineral water with his own avatar printed on it, the channels are spread all over the shelves of major cities and even countless villages and towns in China, thus Wang Leehom quickly gained popularity.

And because of Wang Leehom’s subsequent popularity, he became a household name in the domestic music scene, and Wahaha became even more popular because of its spokesperson linkage.

"In the past, the days were very slow, the car and mail were slow, and life was only enough to love one person."

Just like a poem written by Mu Xin, Wahaha at that time had the single-mindedness and dedication of an old-fashioned person.Wahaha and Wang Leehom spent their peak years together.

Wahaha x Leehom Wang, advertising story

From Wahaha’s perspective, the vision of choosing to sign Wang Leehom back then was forward-looking. Because at that time, Wang Leehom was not yet popular on both sides of the strait. Later, Wang Leehom, as an evergreen in the music world, and the image of a high-quality idol, also provided the Wahaha brand with years of inspirationPositive brand endorsement…

High-end famous enterprises at home and abroad

Global companies offer more than hundreds of programs, winter internship programs,

Summer internship programs and mid-semester internship programs are all being booked!

More industry information, internship programs, and dry goods

Wait until you understand

The cooperation between Wahaha and Wang Leehom has always been a story in the history of advertising. They achieved each other in the early days of entering the market, and their cooperation has been more than 20 years. For more than 20 years, Wang Leehom has become a representative of Wahaha to some extent. Together with Wahaha’s brandImage is deeply rooted…

Therefore, when Wahaha officially announced Xu Guanghan as the new spokesperson, many fans and consumers couldn’t accept it for a while. Their advertisements on Douyin and blockbuster comments were all:When will I change back to Leehom Wang and when will I drink it?

Wahaha’s brand crisis

Breaking the endorsement myth

In 2019, an interview with Zong Fuli, the successor of Wahaha, broke the "endorsement myth" between Wang Leehom and Wahaha.

She bluntly said that she did not like Wang Leehom, nor did she like Wahaha pure water packaging, because "Wang Leehom is too old" and has some aesthetic fatigue.

In fact, it is not only the spokesperson Wang Leehom who is no longer "young", but also grows old with the spokespersonWahaha brand itself…

existYear 2013, Wahaha reached the peak of revenue. That year, the group company completed beverage production throughout the year12.70 million tonsRealize operating income78.30 billion yuan, an increase of 23% year-on-year, achieving profits and taxes of 13.90 billion yuan.

exist2014, Wahaha sales72 billion yuanOperating Income of Wahaha in 201567.70 billion yuan;2016, Wahaha sales52.90 billion yuan…

The declining sales year after year also means that Wahaha’s "midlife crisis"Officially arrived.

Many people attribute Wahaha’s crisis to its products, because from the perspective of products, Wahaha has not been able to achieve the same results in recent yearsNo impressive explosives appearedThe revenue is still supported by the classic products represented by Nutrition Express, so the product aging situation is prominent.

Wahaha X Xu Guanghan, probing the edge of traffic

While replacing the spokesperson, Wahaha Pure Water also launched a new advertising slogan: "Water is water, let water return to purity".

Back in the day,In order to break the monopoly of WahahaOther "water" brands began to play different slogans, positioning mineral water, rich in minerals. Or spring water, sweet and pure natural.

Wahaha’s official website explained why they chose Xu Guanghan: "Xu Guanghan made his debut in 2003. During the 17 years of ups and downs, despite the difficulties and challenges, he has always maintained the purest original intention and love for the performing arts, which is highly compatible with the simple and pure characteristics of Wahaha Pure Water."

However, compared with the previous spokesperson Wang Leehom, there was currently a big gap in terms of popularity and works. The most important thing was that more than 20 years of brand endorsements had allowed Wang Leehom to shape the unique temperament of the Wahaha brand itself, such as "sunshine, purity, ability", etc. This unique temperament suddenly changed, which was of course unacceptable.

This is also the reason why Xu Guanghan’s brand endorsement encountered opposition from a large number of fans.

It can be seen that Wahaha has decided to replace the spokesperson in order to better achieve brand upgrading and complete brand rejuvenation, but this goal cannot be achieved by replacing Wang Leehom with Xu Guanghan.

For a company with a solidified system, when sales decline, it is inevitable to toss, and there is no market competitiveness in product innovation.Otherwise, the first thing to do in publicity is to change the logo and spokespersonThe problem is that the product has not changed, and just changing the spokesperson will only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause

Take advantage of the trend and start with youth

Old brand label

If the product has been launched for a long time, then Coca-Cola, Pepsi, 7-Up soda…Which is not a beverage that has been launched for more than a hundred years and is still selling well around the world today?

But at the same time, these brands are not aging at all, and even at the forefront of youth trends, creating a lot of young social topics every year. And keep the brand young,The most important thing is to break into the circle of young people and communicate with them in the unique language of young people…

For example, in 2013, Coca-Cola published an article on the packaging, launched a nickname bottle, and added hot words such as white rich beauty, otaku, straight-A student, etc. to the original product packaging. Label-based marketing allowed young people who were actively looking for self-identification to take their seats, and the nickname bottle even became a social currency for young people for a while.

Oreo, which is also a product that has been selling well for more than 100 years, can always convey Oreo’s brand perception of "big brain", "interesting" and "cool" through endless marketing methods.

A long time ago maxed out Moments Oreo joint universe Internet celebrity brand supreme, change the color can be sold for hundreds of dollars.

Wahaha’s Road to Change

In fact, as early as the end of 2018, after Zong Fuli served as the head of Wahaha’s public relations department, she has always been committed toBrand rejuvenation…Enter the campus, launch the Wahaha campus marketing competition, and listen to the voices of young people…

This year’s 520, combined with young people’s favoriteBlind box gameplay, launched "Blind Water". By selling 5,000 boxes at a price of 66 yuan per box, 1,000 boxes were launched every day, and every time it was launched, it sold out in seconds, achieving good results. And on May 29 this year, Zong Qinghou even played a live broadcast on the Douyin platform.

Wahaha, the "elderly trend", has made a lot of efforts so far. However, maybe it was because it was too much about marketers and channels in the past, and in today’s traffic era, Wahaha always felt that it was a little too much.

Although there are many activities, the volume does not seem to be large. After 33 years, Wahaha has to move towards a successful transformation.Just relying on the marketing strategy of one hammer in the east and one stick in the west is probably not enough.

How to stay young depends on these four points

Marketing creativity

I don’t know if you have noticed that for so many years, whether it is from Wahaha’s packaging or design, it has basically remained the same. It has always followed the consistent style, reflecting the brand’s lack of innovation.

I believe that many people grew up drinking Wahaha when they were young, but there are so many choices in the market now. Who would choose "soil" products.After all, something from a very early age is unlikely to match the tastes and aesthetics of today’s consumers.

Compared with Wahaha, Nongfu Spring does better in this regard. Nongfu Spring’s various new packaging designs have won foreign awards repeatedly, and it integrates design elements into marketing.Let every bottle design become an event marketing, attracting the attention of the industry.

Channel selectivity

According to the data, Wahaha has deeply cultivated nearly 10,000 dealers, hundreds of thousands of wholesalers, and more than 3 million retail end points across the country, and can spread new products to every commissary in remote rural areas across the country within a week."Wherever there is a commissary in China, you can see Wahaha products."

And Wahaha’s channel-based marketing model has also been cited by Harvard Business School as a case of Chinese channel innovation.

Of course, for FMCG, channels are extremely important. But inIn today’s mobile Internet, many brands have begun to advocate de-channelization and become D2C brandsOnline marketing and sales have become an important source of corporate revenue. And with the rise of e-commerce, Wahaha has missed the dividend period.

This is not to say that channels are not important, but that the trend of direct-to-consumer sales cannot be ignored because of over-reliance on channels. If you rely too much on channels, then this may also be one of the reasons why Wahaha has not seen Internet celebrity brands in recent years.

Adapt to the times and catch up with the dividend period

Due to the excessive emphasis on the effectiveness of offline marketing channels, Wahaha has also resisted e-commerce for many years.

In 2016, Ma Yun raised the issue ofThe basic concept of "five new" in e-commerceAfter listening to this, Zong Qinghou said that "except for the reliable new technology, everything else is nonsense". After that, Zong Qinghou felt: "E-commerce is easy to dump at low prices, which will disrupt the market, so in the end, business has to return to the real economy." At this moment, he still believes that marketing channels are the key.

In 2018, Zong Qinghou made a change in his treatment of e-commerce, publicly stating in an interview, "We do not boycott e-commerce, nor do we embrace e-commerce.".

The result was predictable.

At this moment, Wahaha has only just begun to fully embrace e-commerce, but it has to be admitted that this has been delayed for several years.Due to Zong Qinghou’s resistance to e-commerce, Wahaha lost a great opportunity…

As a middle-aged brand, Wahaha naturally wants to complete the brand rejuvenation, but this problemIt is not something that Xu Guanghan can completely solve.…

From product and design innovation, to the transformation of marketing methods and channels, to embracing new platforms such as e-commerce and live broadcasting, all of these must be done with great care.Otherwise, the so-called brand rejuvenation is just a slogan for Wahaha.

Take the lead and start now

From a big brand of Wahaha to the current sunset, we have witnessed their glorious side, and Wahaha advertisements can be seen everywhere in the streets. Up to now, the dazzling array of advertisements has dizzied us.In the market of traffic, it is essential to seize the opportunity, seize the opportunity, and have a keen business sense…

Where did Qingdao’s "Patient Zero" come from?

Wu Zunyou made a preliminary judgment and made a suggestion

The "News 1 + 1" broadcast on October 13 continued to focus on the epidemic in Qingdao. The program connected Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to respond to questions such as "Patient Zero", "Whether you need to be quarantined when you visit Qingdao during the Golden Week", and "The scale of this epidemic".

01. The scale of the epidemic in Qingdao should not be too large

According to the Qingdao Health Commission, as of 15:30 pm on the 13th, Qingdao’s nucleic acid test has completed 4.23 million samples, and 1.94 million results have been issued.

Wu Zunyou introduced that large-scale nucleic acid testing provides a very important technical means for understanding the scale of the epidemic. From the current results, the scale of the epidemic should not be too large.

Wu Zunyou mentioned that when a case occurs, it is still quite worrying. Especially if the patient takes the initiative to seek medical treatment in the community outpatient clinic, which indicates that there must be a certain number of cases later, depending on the patient’s early and late treatment. From the more information of Qingdao cases, they are mainly concentrated in hospitals, so the scale should be lower than that of Beijing Xinfadi and Xinjiang epidemics.

02. Taxi drivers have a limited role as a source of infection

In this epidemic in Qingdao, a taxi driver became a confirmed case, causing concern. Wu Zunyou introduced that when the driver first found positive nucleic acid, he was still asymptomatic and infected, and he turned to a confirmed case on the 13th. From asymptomatic infection to confirmed case, indicating that the driver is in the early stage of infection.

He introduced that according to the detoxification law of novel coronavirus, the patient is contagious one or two days before the appearance of symptoms and five days after the appearance of symptoms. For this driver, before the discovery on the 11th, his role as a source of infection was very limited. After the discovery on the 11th, he has been quarantined. For him, the scope of contact and spread is very limited.

03. Tourists who have been to Qingdao do not need to be quarantined

During the 11th of this year, Qingdao received 4.50 million passengers. Do you need to isolate all nucleic acid tests?

Wu Zunyou said that this is not necessary. Judging from the current testing situation, the epidemic is mainly confined to thoracic hospitals. For the vast majority of tourists who travel to Qingdao during the National Day, there is no opportunity to contact patients. But there is one point. If you go to the district where the hospital is located and take a taxi and have a taxi invoice, you need to check whether it is a taxi service provided by the patient. For other travelers, there is no need to worry too much. If you are really worried, you can take the initiative to go to a medical institution for a nucleic acid test.

04. Preliminary judgment of "Patient Zero" is likely to be related to the management of imported cases overseas

On the 13th, the epidemic conference in Qingdao mentioned that the possibility of community infection is getting lower and lower.

Wu Zunyou introduced that there are two interpretations. First, the epidemic is less and less likely to be brought to the hospital by the community to detonate. From the clinical symptoms and incidence of cases, it should be hospitalized patients, to accompany, to accompany family members, resulting in transmission. Second, the risk of this epidemic causing greater transmission in society is very small.

With the deepening of investigation and testing, more and more evidence shows that the 6 confirmed cases and 6 asymptomatic infections detected in this epidemic are highly related to the Municipal Chest Hospital. This hospital is responsible for the treatment of imported novel coronavirus infections.

Wu Zunyou said that the epidemic in Qingdao once again sounded the alarm, and the whole country should further supervise and inspect when receiving imported cases from abroad, check that the closed loop is intact and there are no loopholes.

Some netizens asked who was "Patient Zero"?

Wu Zunyou mentioned that there is no clear answer at present. Preliminary judgments show that the epidemic is not directly related to the Golden Week of November, and "Patient Zero" needs to be further transferred. Preliminary judgments are likely to be related to the management of imported cases from abroad, and this answer also needs to be further investigated and verified by local governments.

05. It is necessary to check the hospitals that receive imported cases from abroad

What issues should be paid attention to in the closed-loop management of imported cases abroad?

Wu Zunyou said that for the management of imported cases from abroad, there are designated hospitals or designated hospitals in various places. Some designated hospitals are dedicated to receiving COVID-19, and some provide services to other patients in the society while receiving COVID-19 imported cases.

If it is dedicated to serving COVID-19 cases, it should be said that the risk is relatively small. If it also serves other patients in the society, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the division of the ward is strictly isolated, and whether large instruments and equipment are cross-used.

This kind of risk should also exist in other parts of the country, so the results of this investigation in Qingdao should be taken as a warning. All localities should conduct a one-stop inspection of the hospitals that receive imported cases to see if there is a risk of loopholes in the entire closed loop and how to make up for it. This is a very important measure to stop the local spread of epidemics imported from abroad.

06. Qingdao has previously treated imported cases in hospitals, and some patients have been infected

On April 15 this year, at a press conference held by the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism, two new confirmed cases in Qingdao at that time attracted media attention.

According to the news released by the Qingdao Municipal Health Commission on April 7, it was initially determined that the two confirmed cases were infected by imported cases during their treatment at Qingdao Jiaozhou Central Hospital, and they were in the same ward as an imported case.

Three days later, on April 10, the official website of the Qingdao Municipal Government released information, dismissing Xing Chunli and Wei Xiu’e, vice presidents of Jiaozhou Central Hospital.

Is the test result of nucleic acid 10-in-1 mixed mining accurate?

This large-scale test involves mixing samples from 10 individuals for testing. Does this test comply with regulations? Can the results be accurate?

According to the introduction, the nucleic acid test work for the city’s population in accordance with the requirements of the novel coronavirus nucleic acid 10 in 1 mixed mining detection technology specification for nucleic acid sampling, mixed inspection in line with the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism related to social level crowd detection specification.

Mixed testing can improve the efficiency of screening, and play an important role in multi-screening, early diagnosis, and restoring the order of production and life as soon as possible. Professor Liu Yong, the main developer and specification writer of "novel coronavirus nucleic acid 10-in-1 mixed detection technology" and director of the laboratory department of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University, once said: "The biggest feature of the new technology is high efficiency. Saving time is extremely important in epidemic prevention and control. Finding patients one minute earlier and isolating them one minute earlier will reduce transmission and save a lot of social costs."

Once a positive is found during the mixed inspection screening, the relevant departments will be notified immediately to temporarily isolate the 10 subjects of the mixed inspection tube, and re-collect the single-tube swab for review. The mixed inspection meets the regulations, and the results are also accurate, and there will be no problems such as missed or wrong inspections.

Original title: "No new cases in Shenzhen on October 14"

Read the original text

　　In Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, since the introduction of new energy buses, the urban noise has been reduced and the passenger experience has been more comfortable; in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, by setting up a waiting area for people and vehicles to divert traffic, "pedestrians and bicycles are crowded at the intersection" and other problems have been solved; in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, citizens ride a ride, which has become a new trend of urban travel…

　　In order to achieve the goal of "double carbon", China has always adhered to the "reduction" of energy consumption emissions and the "addition" of low-carbon transportation, and actively carried out the creation of green travel.

　　In recent years, various localities and departments have made efforts to improve the green travel environment, focusing on improving the quality of public transportation services, and people’s sense of identity, gain and happiness in choosing green travel has continued to increase. Today, the road to green travel is becoming wider and wider in China.

　　

　　Good performance, good policy –

　　Accelerate the promotion of new energy vehicles

　　When reducing pollution and carbon emissions has become a new social trend, the advantages of new energy transportation are self-evident. In recent years, China’s transportation industry has embarked on a green and low-carbon transformation, promoted the use of new energy vehicles, and vigorously adjusted the transportation structure, achieving remarkable results.

　　"The vehicle needs 53 kWh of electricity to be fully charged at one time, and it can travel 400 kilometers, which is almost enough for a week’s commute." Li Yunan, who lives in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, recently purchased a Changan Yidong EV new energy vehicle. He said that after replacing the new car, there will be no mileage anxiety in daily use in urban areas, and he is satisfied with the low cost of use.

　　China Association of Automobile Manufacturers data show that from January to March this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 1.293 million and 1.257 million respectively, an increase of 1.4 times year-on-year, with a market share of 19.3%. As of the end of last year, the national new energy vehicle ownership reached 7.84 million.

　　Behind the continuous heating up of the new energy automobile industry is the continuous exploration of enterprises in the industry to strengthen technical research. The battery breaks through zero fire technology and creates a "seven-in-one" intelligent vehicle domain controller… Take Changan new energy vehicle as an example. In the field of new energy, it has built industry-leading R & D capabilities and has broken through more than 400 core technologies.

　　"Real money and preferential policies have provided strong support for accelerating industrial development, and our company has also obtained a lot of direct benefits." The relevant person in charge of Changan New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. told reporters that the company has gained three major benefits: First, the state provides financial subsidies for new energy vehicles. Second, the purchase tax is exempted and the vehicle and ship tax is reduced. Third, the government provides financial support for special projects in scientific and technological research and development to encourage enterprises to continuously improve product performance.

　　In small and medium-sized cities, the degree of perfection of supporting facilities is an important factor affecting consumers’ willingness to purchase new energy vehicles.

　　"As soon as I bought the new energy vehicle, the power supply company came to guide me to install the charging pile with my mobile phone, and the next day I completed the power connection." In mid-April, Wu Peng, who lives in Gedian Town, Ezhou City, Hubei Province, experienced a "fast service".

　　In order to better serve new energy vehicle owners, State Grid Hubei Electric Power has increased its charging infrastructure building efforts and strived to improve the level of social energy efficiency in the service area. From January to March this year, 42 new charging stations and 212 charging piles were put into operation, and 174 charging piles were upgraded.

　　The latest statistics from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance show that as of the end of February, the cumulative number of charging infrastructure in the country reached 2.864 million units, an increase of 62.9% year-on-year. Wang Yun, deputy director of the Institute of Foreign Economics of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, believes that with the continuous improvement of supporting infrastructure such as charging and replacing electricity, new energy vehicle consumption is expected to maintain a rapid development trend and help the transportation sector achieve the "double carbon" goal.

　　"Public transportation priority" is undoubtedly an important way to practice green travel. Nowadays, many places are also focusing on improving the ratio of public buses and trams in new energy cities, and rationally deploying and building charging and swapping facilities.

　　Since the beginning of this year, Linyi City has continuously improved the service facilities of new energy buses to facilitate the travel of the masses. According to the relevant person in charge of Linyi Public Transport Group, the newly added new energy buses have the advantages of lower power consumption, longer cruising range, and low noise, which can not only effectively reduce urban environmental pollution, but also provide comfortable and safe green travel services for the majority of passengers.

　　"Today’s new energy buses are so convenient, with spacious interior space, clean environment, and smoother operation than the original buses." Liu Yuqing, a resident of Linyi City, Shandong Province, said that the new energy buses are a practical and good thing for the common people, and praise the government.

　　The "14th Five-Year" Development Plan for Comprehensive Transportation Services issued by the Ministry of Transport proposes that by 2025, the proportion of new energy vehicles in urban public transportation, taxi and urban logistics distribution will reach 72%, 35% and 20% respectively. Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the next step is to continue to ensure the stable operation of the new energy vehicle industry, increase the promotion and application of efforts, start the pilot city of full electrification of public sector vehicles, and coordinate the promotion of charging infrastructure building.

　　There are many ways, the effect is strong –

　　Digital technology is deeply empowering

　　In recent years, based on the concept of green sharing and supported by digital technology, China’s urban transportation operation efficiency and service capabilities have been steadily improved, playing a prominent role in helping to achieve the "double carbon" goal.

　　"I am a die-hard user of shared bicycles, and I usually choose to ride for my daily commute, which saves time and is environmentally friendly." Ma Guang, a resident of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, believes that in the context of "dual carbon", Internet travel service platforms are contributing to reducing traffic pressure. "Riding shared bicycles allows us users to deeply participate in environmental protection and energy conservation. Looking at the accumulated carbon reduction, I will be very fulfilled."

　　In September 2021, the "Sharing Cycling Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction Report" released by the Environmental Development Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment showed that in the past five years, Meituan bicycle and motorcycle users have reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 1.187 million tons, which is equivalent to reducing the carbon emissions of 270,000 private cars for one year.

　　With the popularity of green travel, the ride-hailing industry is increasingly recognized. "Now I often take a ride at work, rest better, and reduce carbon emissions." Lin Han, a "working pregnant mother" in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, believes that in the context of increasingly intelligent and shared travel methods, the environmental protection and energy saving effect of the ride-hailing industry cannot be underestimated.

　　According to the "Zero Carbon Travel" Research Report released by Didi Travel, nearly 70% of the respondents "travel with the wind" more than 3 times a week, and 98.12% of the respondents are willing to guide the people around them to practice green and low-carbon concepts.

　　At the same time, many companies are also deepening the mining and utilization of public transportation data to promote the digitization of transportation scenes. In November last year, Tencent Maps took the lead in launching the "green travel" bus portal function, realizing "one map" to connect users to the whole scene of public transportation.

　　The reporter clicked on the "Green Travel" page and found that the new bus route map is clear at a glance – the original information of other locations has been streamlined, and the visual presentation effect of transportation hubs such as bus stops, subway stations, and railway stations has become more obvious. It is understood that in the future this "bus base map" will also add more "dynamic capabilities", such as the real-time driving conditions of buses on the map, and the user mood interaction of bus stops, etc., so as to achieve the effective integration of static road information with dynamic bus flow and social information flow.

　　Some local governments and enterprises have also joined forces to use digital technology to innovate incentive mechanisms and stimulate residents’ willingness to travel green.

　　In September 2020, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, Beijing Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau and Autonavi Map jointly launched the "Green City" action. After registering to participate in the action, citizens will use public transportation, rail, and walking to automatically convert into corresponding carbon emission reductions, and can exchange bus cards, vouchers, or donate to environmental protection public welfare activities. As of March 23 this year, the event officially registered more than 1 million users, 420,000 monthly active users, and a cumulative carbon emission reduction of nearly 100,000 tons.

　　Under the guidance of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People’s Bank of China, Meituan launched a digital RMB pilot activity in September last year with low-carbon travel as the core scenario. It is reported that users in the digital RMB pilot areas can sign up for the activity and use shared bicycles for free through digital RMB red envelopes. The accumulated number of rides can also be exchanged for more digital RMB rewards.

　　Recently, the "green semi-annual report" handed over by the pilot activity is eye-catching. Data show that the pilot activity has attracted more than 10 million users in the first half of the year, and these users have accumulated more than 70 million green cycling kilometers.

　　"This pilot event is a useful attempt to promote green and low-carbon travel through the digital yuan," said Cao Heping, a professor at the School of Economics at Peking University.

　　Industry experts predict that in the next step, digitalization will not only help the public achieve quantifiable carbon emission reductions, but also drive the low-carbon green transformation of the upstream and downstream industrial chains based on data and technological advantages, such as assisting in the construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network.

　　More convenient, faster –

　　The slow-moving system is becoming increasingly perfect

　　"Xi’an, where the spring flowers are blooming, is really beautiful. Sitting in the car every day, you can’t see such a beautiful scenery. Recently, the temperature is suitable, and cycling does not have to be blocked on the road, but also exercises and protects the environment. It really kills many birds with one stone." After the Qingming holiday, Xu Yang, a citizen of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, changed his usual way of driving to work and started cycling to work.

　　"After suffering from traffic congestion, the travel of modern urbanites began to shift to the urban slow-moving system." Zhou Rong, director of the Institute of History, Culture and Tourism of the Xi’an Academy of Social Sciences, explained that the urban slow-moving system is an urban transportation system that takes walking, cycling and other slow travel methods as the main body of urban transportation and effectively solves problems such as fast and slow traffic conflicts.

　　Cycling is an indispensable part of the slow-moving system. Different types of bicycle lanes are designed for people with different needs, and each has its own responsibilities, not only to ensure the needs of fitness and leisure, but also to meet the functions of commuting.

　　To unlock greater urban transport resources, Xiamen in Fujian province has built the country’s first and the world’s longest air bicycle lane. From 2020 onwards, resident Lai Tingsi discovered this commuting option – riding 2.7 kilometers along the air bicycle lane to work. "At the beginning, I just had the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect it to be convenient and fast to ride down." She said that the bicycle path has no traffic lights and no motor vehicle interference, and it only takes a short ten minutes to get to work.

　　The reporter learned that there are 11 entrances and exits on the entire bicycle lane. In addition to connecting to the BRT station, it is also connected to 11 ordinary bus stations and 2 subway stations, which is convenient for cyclists to transfer at any time. In addition, the lane also has a special rest area for citizens to stop and rest and enjoy the scenery.

　　Although setting up bicycle lanes is the best solution in the eyes of cyclists, at present, in the urban center with large traffic volume, the comprehensive upgrading of the system is more realistic. In this regard, many cities have handed over good answers.

　　"After the road is renovated, it’s much more’neatly ‘!" Tang Xinzhong, who lives in Tongzhou District, Beijing, passes through Liyuan Middle Street every day, and he has a deep understanding of the changes in this road. In 2021, Liyuan Middle Street will be renovated. The original position of street trees will be converted into road dividers, and the original position of the walkway will be converted into an independent non-motorized vehicle lane. A new sidewalk will be built in the outermost green space within the red line of the road. In this way, motor vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrians will "go their own way" without interfering with each other.

　　"Now that you’re out of the subway station, you can scan the code and ride your bike directly, and you’ll be able to go back to school soon." Xiao Zhang, a student, quickly found a shared bicycle on the subway outside of Hangzhou Agriculture and Forestry University in Zhejiang Province. Previously, because the original non-motorized parking spaces in the subway station could not meet the travel needs of teachers and students, some non-motorized vehicles often had nowhere to stop during peak periods.

　　To this end, in 2021, the Urban Management Bureau of Lin’an District, Hangzhou City established a special class to comprehensively know the real situation of the existing parking lot and surrounding vacant space in the subway station, and use drones to make aerial photos to draw topographic maps, adding more than 200 berths, effectively solving the problem of random parking of non-motor vehicles, so that the "last mile" travel is smoother.

　　It is worth mentioning that in the construction of the urban slow-moving system, the slow-moving trails also provide convenience for citizens to travel green.

　　Blossoming with flowers and trees… In Anning City, Yunnan Province, the Mantis River Slow Trail is an ecological greenway that is full of scenery everywhere. "This health trail adjacent to the Mantis River is more quiet. It is equipped with rest areas, observation platforms, etc., suitable for citizens who like to watch the scenery and take a leisurely walk." Jiang Qi, head of the Landscaping Management Section of the Anning City Administration, said.

　　According to reports, during the construction of the slow walking trail, the relevant departments of Kunming City made overall planning to integrate the trail with the natural and cultural landscapes as much as possible. According to the relevant person in charge, Kunming City built a slow walking trail around Dianchi Lake around Xinghai Peninsula, Baofeng Peninsula and Fubao Peninsula, which was completed at the end of last year and is currently undergoing partial optimization of the slow walking trail.

　　"The slow walking trails have good air and beautiful scenery, and there are various flowers blooming in different seasons. Every time I take a walk here, I feel very happy." Speaking of the slow walking trails added in Kunming in recent years, Li Xunfei, a citizen, said with emotion.

　　Our reporter, Wan Jing

　　In June 2016, after the release of the "Opinions of the State Council on Establishing Fair Competition and Censorship in the Construction of the Market System" (hereinafter referred to as Document No. 34), in 2017, all provinces and cities across the country began to establish rules and regulations, and fully implemented Document No. 34. 31 provinces have issued implementation plans or implementation measures.

　　The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, together with relevant departments, studied and formulated the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Fair Competition Censorship (Interim) " (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules"), which were approved by the State Council and issued in October 2017. The industry unanimously commented that "another boot has landed" to allow the fair competition review to enter the substantive implementation stage.

　　19 provinces were included in the performance appraisal

　　"Legal Daily" reporters found that since the release of Article 34, all ministries and commissions of the State Council have established a fair competition review mechanism; 31 provinces have issued implementation plans to carry out the review work in an orderly manner. It is particularly noteworthy that 19 of these 31 provinces have proposed to establish and improve the government affairs and administrative commitment assessment system and improve the accountability mechanism for fair competition review.

　　Six provinces – Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Jiangxi, Hebei and Qinghai – called for stronger accountability and the establishment of a system of assessment, supervision and accountability for fair competition review work. Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, the Provincial Fair Competition Review Joint Conference Office and relevant industry authorities should strengthen the assessment and supervision of fair competition review work, and local governments and departments that fail to conduct fair competition review or violate fair competition review standards and introduce policies and measures, as well as fail to correct relevant policies and measures in a timely manner, must be seriously accountable.

　　In addition, more than 10 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Shanghai, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Shandong have proposed to improve the evaluation mechanism and encourage the government to purchase services and entrust third parties to carry out evaluations. Evaluation reports should be open to the public for comments, and evaluation results should be open to the public.

　　The rules ensure that the review is left behind

　　At the end of October 2017, the "Detailed Rules" jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council were officially issued. Non-review and non-serious review in the practice of fair competition review are the primary issues to be solved by the "Detailed Rules".

　　To this end, the "Detailed Rules" mainly strengthen the procedural constraints on the fair competition review work in the following aspects: clarify the internal review mechanism, require the formation of written review conclusions, refine the rules and procedures for soliciting opinions, and establish a regular reporting system. More notably, the "Detailed Rules" further clarify the issue of supervision and reporting and accountability, and stipulate that any unit or individual can report to the policy-making authority or report to the superior authority or the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency if the review is not conducted or the review standards are violated.

　　Professor Shi Jianzhong, a member of the Expert Advisory Group of the Anti-Monopoly Committee of the State Council and Vice President of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that it is far from enough to establish fair competition censorship, and the cage of the system must be further tightened and tightened. The Detailed Rules explain and refine the relevant provisions of fair competition censorship from the aspects of review mechanisms and procedures, review standards, exception provisions, social supervision, and accountability, ensuring that fair competition review becomes a necessary procedure before the introduction of policies and measures, ensuring that review leaves traces, avoiding self-censorship as a formality, and preventing perfunctory.

　　Investigate and punish restrictions on competition

　　In July 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission disclosed that the National Development and Reform Commission and the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission investigated and found that the Chengdu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission organized a special coordination meeting and issued meeting notes, requiring municipal state-owned enterprises and their wholly-owned and controlling subsidiaries (sub) companies to give priority to insurance services provided by local state-owned enterprises under the same conditions of price and service. Chengdu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission took the initiative to issue a document to abolish the above meeting notes.

　　Rather than establishing rules and regulations, the public is more concerned about practical actions. As fair competition censorship has gradually and solidly advanced across the country, in 2017, many local governments began to strictly review their respective policy documents in accordance with the spirit of Circular 34. During the year, many acts of restricting competition or abusing administrative power to interfere with market competition order have been corrected or are being corrected.

　　According to a person from the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, there are currently more than 40 cases of abuse of administrative power to exclude and restrict competition that have been completed or are being handled in various places, and will be disclosed one after another in the near future.

　　On December 5, 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "2017-2018 Work Plan for Cleaning Up Existing Policies to Exclude and Restrict Competition".

　　According to the plan, by May 2018, all departments of the State Council and local people’s governments at all levels and their subordinate departments will form a conclusion on the policies and measures to eliminate and restrict competition, and repeal or adjust them according to the procedures. Before July 2018, local people’s governments at all levels and their subordinate departments will conduct a comprehensive summary of the clean-up work, form a written report, and report it level by level. Before November 2018, the inter-ministerial joint conference on fair competition review will organize inspections of the clean-up work of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and departments, and correct those that are not in place.

　　Supervision network ride-hailing local policy

　　In 2017, the biggest challenge to fair competition censorship was the introduction of local policies on ride-hailing. Many people use local policies on ride-hailing as "test strips" to test whether fair competition reviews are real.

　　New regulations on ride-hailing in many places have set up obstacles to the relevant conditions of "people and cars", and "deliberately" shrinking the policy space given to the online car-hailing industry by the Ministry of Transport. In response, Beijing Tianyuan Law Firm recently reported to the relevant anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies that "the detailed rules of online car-hailing in some cities are suspected of violating fair competition censorship and are suspected of abusing administrative power to exclude and restrict competition." At present, the National Development and Reform Commission has started to investigate the situation of local online car-hailing fair competition reviews.

　　Under the supervision of the National Development and Reform Commission, in September 2017, Quanzhou, Fujian and Lanzhou, Gansu Province successively revised the previously formulated detailed rules for the implementation of online car-hailing. The adjustment direction includes weakening the personal and household registration restrictions on online car-hailing drivers, lowering the price and technical conditions requirements for online car-hailing vehicles, canceling access restrictions on online car-hailing vehicles and drivers, and canceling other unreasonable restrictions that violate the requirements of the market economy.

　　According to a relevant person from the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, many local governments are not copying or forwarding documents in implementing the spirit of Document No. 34, but actually conducting censorship, which is why there are more than 40 cases mentioned above. This is also closely related to the efforts of the development and reform departments to initiate and organize local administrative departments to train and study Document No. 34 and the Detailed Rules. At present, some local governments, especially at the grass-roots municipal and county levels, need to speed up the implementation of fair competition censorship, establish relevant working mechanisms as soon as possible, and really move. In addition, local governments need to come up with practical solutions in specific work implementation, such as the problem of "stock clearance".

　　investigation motive

　　Recently, #BeijingA takeaway rider illegally overtook a car and caused death #Rush on the hot search. Beijing traffic control authorities revealed that a takeaway driver was driving past a car on a section of Xicheng District when he hit a pedestrian crossing the road. After being sent to the hospital, the pedestrian died after being rescued. At the time of the incident, the takeaway driver was speeding and did not drive on the right, which was a number of faults.

　　In this regard, many netizens left messages saying that in life, traffic violations such as red lights, retrograde, and speeding by takeaway riders have become commonplace, seriously affecting traffic order and requiring urgent rectification. Public reports show that traffic accidents and even deaths caused by takeaway riders due to traffic violations are also common.

　　The reporter conducted an investigation and interview on why the delivery riders "risked their lives" on the road and how to solve this chaos.

　　□ Wen Lijuan, reporter of Rule of Law Daily

　　□ Zheng Ting, Intern of Rule of Law Daily

　　"Riders often perform life-and-death speed when delivering takeout, and we can’t stop it at all," said Wang Li, a traffic counselor at an intersection in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Every day during the midday and evening rush hours, Wang Li sees many takeout riders "flash by" in front of her eyes, whether it is a red light or a green light; she has also seen many takeout riders have traffic accidents as a result.

　　Guo Kun, a rider, is one of the "speeding experts". He confessed to the Legal Daily reporter that he had run red lights twice and retrograde three times during a delivery process, and the whole speed exceeded 50km/h many times. "Of course I know it’s not safe, but if you don’t do it, you won’t be able to deliver it on time. If the delivery is overtime, you will be deducted more money than you should earn," he said. "As a rider, who didn’t run a red light and who didn’t exceed the speed?"

　　With the development of the Internet ordering industry, takeaway food delivery has become more and more convenient for people’s lives, but at the same time, the pursuit of speed has led riders to ignore traffic laws and regulations, and the accident rate has been high. Reporters recently visited multiple intersections in Beijing and found that traffic violations such as red lights, reverse driving, and speeding were prominent, and some riders still had distracted driving behaviors such as looking at their mobile phones and answering phones during driving.

　　Rider intersection ignores red light

　　Retrograde speeding is extremely common

　　At 6 p.m. on July 17, the peak time for takeaway riders to deliver food. At a crossroads connecting shopping malls and many office and residential buildings in Chaoyang District, Beijing, reporters observed that more than 70 riders passed through the intersection within 30 minutes, including 35 who went retrograde, diagonally crossed the road, and ran red lights.

　　There are many restaurants around the intersection, and dozens of takeaway electric vehicles fill the sidewalk, so pedestrians can only walk along the side of the road. After the riders pick up the order, they ride the electric vehicles directly along the sidewalk and drive into the road.

　　A few riders looked to the left and saw that the car was still some distance away from them, so they drove onto the sidewalk and rushed to the opposite side of the road, completely ignoring the warning of the red light; when they reached the middle of the road, because there were many vehicles on the right and the speed was fast, the riders stopped, some took out their mobile phones and looked down to check the information, some waited on the head of the electric car, and some kept observing the road conditions. Once there was a "gap", they immediately increased their horsepower and "sprinted" over.

　　Guo Kun often delivers takeout in this area, with a delivery radius of up to 5 kilometers, and the delivery time of an order varies from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. He told reporters that during the peak delivery period, a rider may have six or seven orders on hand at the same time, and the delivery time is almost overlapping. To avoid timeout, the delivery time of each order can only be compressed as much as possible. The system will provide route navigation for each order, but the delivery time is calculated based on the shortest route, and some of the shortest routes even include retrograde sections. If it is not retrograde and speeding, it is impossible to deliver every order on time.

　　Once the delivery is timed out, the price is high: a certain percentage of the delivery fee is deducted, sometimes as much as 70%, depending on the timeout. "Everyone earns hard money and has to be fast," Guo Kun said.

　　Zhang Yi, who works as a security guard in Beijing, will work as a part-time rider during the holidays. "I definitely want to send a few more orders and make more money." He said that the maximum speed of the national standard electric car is only 25 yards. Normally, you can only take 2 to 3 orders at most. If you want to send a few more orders and speed up, you have to take risks to modify the electric car. In order not to time out, you must always keep an eye on the time during the delivery process. Running red lights and going retrograde are inevitable.

　　Especially on rainy days when it is easiest to "order surge", riders often have to appease anxious customers while rushing. Once, on a rainy day, it took the customer about an hour to place an order before Zhang Yi received the order. After receiving the order, the customer immediately called him and asked why the order had not been delivered for an hour. In fact, the delivery time of riders is calculated from the beginning of receiving the order.

　　"The road is not easy to walk on rainy days. If the speed of the car exceeds 20 yards, the brakes will easily slip and fall. In addition, the rain will affect the line of sight, so the delivery time will be longer than on sunny days." Zhang Yi said.

　　Luo Yu, a part-time rider from Guangzhou, Guangdong, faces the same dilemma. He only runs three or four hours a day, concentrating on lunch and dinner, and completes an average of more than a dozen orders a day. He has a system to send orders, and he also grabs orders himself. Although there is a risk of timeout in taking more orders, Luo Yu still hopes to be able to take more orders, because taking more orders means making money. And when he has more orders, running red lights and going retrograde have become commonplace for him.

　　The number of traffic accidents is on the rise

　　The rights and interests of both parties are difficult to protect

　　Riders speeding, going the wrong way, and running red lights have led to an increasing number of traffic accidents.

　　According to the staff of the traffic accident handling center in Changsha, Hunan Province, a large part of the traffic accidents involve delivery riders. Most of the cases involve running red lights and driving in the opposite direction, especially the phenomenon of looking at mobile phones while riding. In recent years, the traffic accident rate of delivery riders has been on the rise.

　　Wang Li has seen many riders have accidents due to rampage while on duty, "especially the cross road *** has a high accident rate".

　　On the evening of August 1, it was raining in the sky. The reporter witnessed a traffic accident in a community in Chaoyang District, Beijing: a takeaway rider wearing a raincoat and a rain hat half-covered his eyes was riding while answering the phone, completely oblivious to the passers-by walking in front. After he reacted, he made a quick turn, and the electric car slipped directly, causing the takeaway in the incubator to fall to the ground.

　　For riders, compensation is often difficult to achieve in the event of an accident.

　　Liu Lin, a rider in Beijing, was hit by a car while delivering food and left a 5cm scar on the outside of his arm. "The driver had insurance, and the insurance company asked me to provide proof of income to calculate the missed work fee. My monthly income at that time was about 10,000 yuan, but when I asked the platform for proof of income, the platform said it had nothing to do with them. In the end, the insurance company paid according to the minimum wage standard."

　　The rights and interests cannot be guaranteed, and there are passers-by who were injured by takeaway riders.

　　Beijing photographer Wang Pingping was injured by a takeaway rider on the way to work. After the accident, the traffic police determined that the rider was fully responsible for the accident, but the rider could not afford it personally, so they went to the platform company, but the other party brushed off the responsibility. "In order to avoid injury, I can only try to stay away from the’speeding ‘takeaway rider in the future."

　　A variety of factors contribute to the chaos

　　The platform algorithm needs to be improved

　　The reason for "working hard" and seeking fast, many interviewed riders mentioned that on the one hand, they are in order to take more orders and make more money, and on the other hand, they are in order to evaluate the performance of the platform and avoid being punished for overtime.

　　The reporter learned that most takeaway platforms currently implement piece-rate wages. Riders’ income mainly comes from the commission of "running orders", and the more orders they receive, the more they earn. In addition, the status level of a rider depends on the rider’s "bee value", which is calculated through multiple dimensions such as attendance, order volume, response rate, and praise rate. The higher the "bee value", the more orders will be dispatched. Riders desperately run orders to protect data and compete for "bee value" because it is closely related to income.

　　Wu Jie is the webmaster of Shandong Tai’an site of a takeaway platform outsourcing distribution company. He told reporters that takeaway platforms are usually only responsible for merchant settlement and merchant order generation, and distribution services are outsourced to various distribution companies, and then local sites under each distribution company provide delivery services.

　　"The reward and punishment systems of different distribution companies are basically similar, but the calculation rules are different. For example, the average unit price in Shandong is 4 yuan, and the reward and punishment system is relatively loose on this basis. The average unit price in Beijing is 6 yuan to 8 yuan, and the reward and punishment system is more strict. The most important thing in the performance appraisal of riders is the punctuality rate, satisfaction rate, violation rate and attendance rate," Wu Jie said.

　　Regarding rider rewards, Wu Jie introduced that full-time riders mainly include full attendance award, single king award (the top three orders on this site in the month), total order salary, order ladder award, bad weather subsidy, distance subsidy, weight subsidy, night subsidy, etc.; part-time riders mainly have order fees, various platform activity rewards such as "hand-holding" and "rushing single award", etc. Other subsidies mainly depend on the willingness of merchants. If an order is not received by a rider for a long time, the merchant will increase the unit price.

　　The reporter learned from Wu Jie that for full-time riders, the delivery fee is fixed at 4 yuan per order. If it exceeds the delivery range by 1 kilometer, the subsidy is 1 yuan, and if it exceeds the delivery range by 2 kilometers, the subsidy is 1.5 yuan. If it is seriously overtime (referring to exceeding the delivery time of the order by more than 30 minutes), a fine of 5 yuan per order will be imposed. For part-time riders, 20% of the delivery fee will be deducted for 3 minutes overtime, and 50% will be deducted for more than 3 minutes overtime.

　　"Regarding complaints and bad reviews, if a full-time rider encounters such a situation, they can either negotiate with the customer or only accept a fine," Wu Jie said. "The part-time rider will deduct personal credit points according to the situation. When the credit points are insufficient, it is forbidden to take orders. Online training and answering questions are required to restore the authority to take orders. In more serious cases, the number will be permanently banned."

　　Some riders also pointed out that the platform’s journey algorithm has many unreasonable aspects. For example, the delivery time is calculated based on the distance, and it will not be judged based on the speed of the merchant’s meal, the small size of the meal, and whether there are special circumstances on the road.

　　Zhang Yi was most afraid of delivering takeout to a community under renovation or a high-end community. Such orders were most likely to be timed out, and vehicles could not enter and could only be delivered on foot. After entering the community, he found that there was no building number or unit number, so he could only keep asking and calling customers. Once, because he couldn’t find the address and couldn’t contact the customer for a while, it took him an extra 20 minutes to deliver the order. At this time, there was not much time left for the next order.

　　Dong Lai, a traffic law practice expert and director of Beijing Kaiya Law Firm, has long been concerned about the rights and interests of takeaway riders. He summarizes the reasons for the frequent occurrence of riders’ traffic violations. In addition to the riders’ own poor awareness of traffic rules and lack of safety education, platform dispatch models and algorithms are important reasons.

　　"Some platforms have unreasonable order delivery models and high deduction fees. The monthly income of takeaway riders basically depends on the delivery fee. If you get a delivery fee of about 5 yuan for an order, then if you send 30 orders a day, the rider can earn 150 yuan; but if it expires, the rider will usually be deducted a certain proportion of the delivery fee; if the customer refunds the order, the rider needs to bear the full loss." Dong Lachao said that in addition, some platforms have a single algorithm, and the estimated arrival time is too short, so the rider can only run hard.

　　"In order to appease users, some platforms even display different arrival times for riders on the user’s mobile phone and those displayed on the rider’s mobile phone. The time on the user’s mobile phone is often 1 minute to 2 minutes earlier, which leads to riders having to run on the road in order not to get bad reviews." In addition, some merchants that provide takeaway food are slow to eat, and they have already clicked "food preparation is complete" before they have eaten, resulting in longer waiting times for riders and squeezed time on the road.

　　Linkage supervision and governance chaos

　　Certification is urgent

　　In April this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Implementing the Responsibilities of Online Catering Platforms and Effectively Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Takeaway Deliverymen", proposing that platforms should not use the "strictest algorithm" as an assessment requirement. They can reasonably determine the number of orders, punctuality rate, online rate and other assessment factors through "algorithm selection" and other methods, and appropriately relax the delivery time limit. Online catering platforms and third-party cooperative units shall participate in social insurance for takeaway deliverymen who have established labor relations in accordance with the law, and encourage other takeaway deliverymen

　　The reporter observed a takeaway platform and found that its pilot changed the "estimated delivery time point" to "estimated delivery time period", and set "Junction Treasure" to guarantee the delivery time of the order. If the rider does not deliver within this time period, the platform will pay the corresponding amount according to the excess time. However, on the order receiving page of the rider, it still shows the number of minutes required to be delivered, which has a strict time limit. However, the rider can extend the delivery time by reporting the slow delivery of the merchant. The delivery time starts to be calculated after receiving the order.

　　It is urgent to balance the contradiction between the "slowdown" and "income" of takeaway riders.

　　A number of interviewed experts and industry insiders pointed out that the management of traffic violations and chaos among takeaway riders cannot be separated from linkage supervision, one is the supervision of the platform, and the other is the supervision of riders.

　　Dong Lachao suggested that the platform adjust the assessment rules and optimize the algorithm. At present, many takeaway platforms have not established a complete set of mechanisms to incentivize takeaway riders to reduce traffic violations, such as rewarding takeaway riders who have not committed traffic violations; they can make full use of big data intelligent analysis to formulate standards to remove the time spent on traffic congestion from the rider’s assessment, and at the same time disregard unreasonable bad reviews.

　　"In addition, the legal relationship between the platform and the rider also needs to be clarified urgently. At present, the management body between the rider and the platform company is not clear, and there are complex social management models, such as special delivery model, labor dispatch model, crowdsourcing model, individual model, agency model, etc., resulting in lax management. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the legislation to clarify the management body. When the rights and interests of riders or platform companies are damaged, they can get social relief with reasonable evidence and law." Dong Lachao said.

　　In his opinion, it is urgent to set up a strict entry system for the takeaway rider industry, and it is recommended that riders be licensed to work. For example, determine a social management body to train riders, and after the training, they will be certified to work, and the riders will be assessed and evaluated every year. If traffic violations reach a certain number of times, they will not be able to pass the annual review the following year, and effective supervision will be formed through source management.

　　Liu Wei, a partner at Beijing Shengchi Law Firm, also proposed that the platform should optimize algorithm design and other measures to achieve a balance between corporate economic efficiency, rider income, and safety.

　　"How does the platform deal with customer dissatisfaction and complaints? Whether to simply punish the riders or solve them through other channels, we need to think more, try to meet customer requirements while avoiding excessive pressure on the riders, and prevent the situation that the riders are desperate to speed up the delivery of orders regardless of safety." Liu Wei said. He also suggested that the relevant departments can urge the platform to establish and improve the channels and procedures for reflecting the demands of takeaway riders through irregular inspections, such as simplifying the procedures and shortening the process. The relevant demands of takeaway riders should be handed over to the first responsible person, and timely feedback should be given. The feedback time should be controlled within 24 hours as much as possible to resolve conflicts in a timely manner.

　　(The parties in the text are all pseudonyms)

　　This year’s Spring Festival came earlier than in previous years. Just after New Year’s Day, everyone was busy buying New Year’s goods. On January 8, the reporter visited major shopping malls and supermarkets and found that the purchasing power of Hunan people’s New Year’s goods this year has not decreased, and there have been many new changes, buying "new tricks".

　　While major shopping malls and supermarkets usher in the peak passenger flow before the Spring Festival, major online e-commerce companies have rushed to the New Year’s goods market. Hunan people who love to taste "fresh" not only pursue seasonal local specialties, but also put "foreign fresh" on the table; with the advent of the 5G era, smart products have also "broken" into people’s New Year’s shopping lists.

　　1. Online and offline, the price is much more "beautiful" than usual.

　　There is still half a month for the Spring Festival, and when I enter the supermarkets such as BBK, China Resources Vanguard, and Carrefour, I can already feel the Spring Festival atmosphere. Decorations such as "Happy Year of the Rat 2020" are beaming, and cookies, dried fruits, candies and other areas are full of hot-selling gift-giving products.

　　The reporter saw in the BBK Changsha Dongtang store that there are a wide range of preferential activities such as buy 100 yuan and get 100 yuan cash coupons for snack food, and price-break discounts for milk cartons. Ms. Yang, a citizen who is shopping for chocolate gift boxes, said that there are many relatives visiting during the Spring Festival, and they take advantage of the strong discounts in supermarkets to stock up on some snacks.

　　The supermarket salesperson of BBK Changsha Dongtang store told reporters that preserves, candies, milk and puffed food are still must-have items in the shopping cart of Hunan people’s New Year’s goods, but with the gradual rise of the health craze in the "post-80s" and "post-90s", nuts have become one of the popular New Year’s goods. Sugar-free, low-fat biscuits and cakes and other healthy snacks are increasingly sought after by young people.

　　Offline supermarkets offer strong discounts, and online e-commerce is also in full swing. The "New Year’s Shopping Festival" that started one after another in January has become the first promotion of the new year for major e-commerce in 2020.

　　Tmall’s "New Year’s Shopping Festival" this year set a small goal of "helping farmers across the country to underwrite at least 300 million catties of fruit"; JD.com uses "Spring Festival does not close" and "buy expensive and pay" as selling points to provide New Year’s goods while upgrading services; Sunny Retail Cloud, which sank into the county market, released data on January 4. During the "New Year’s Shopping Festival" event, the overall order volume increased by 113%.

　　Li Ying, a girl from Chenzhou who works in Guangzhou, told reporters that this year her family was in Guangzhou for the Chinese New Year. To understand her homesickness, she ordered Xiangxi five-flower bacon from Songkwai Fong online. The store coupons and promotional allowances provided by e-commerce platforms made the price much more "beautiful" than usual.

　　2. All local and specialty "foreign products" will be accepted according to the order.

　　It was New Year’s Eve in the market. At this time, the ordinary people in Shili Baxiang would sell their own native products, and this year was no exception.

　　On January 2, Zhangjiajie Yongding District Jiaoziya Town held the first Tujia New Year’s Shopping Festival. Xiang Zuopeng, a villager in Qijiaping Village, Jiaoziya Town, did not expect that the rice and rice he brought were so popular and sold for thousands of yuan. It is understood that Tujia New Year’s Shopping Festival attracted nearly 30,000 people from urban areas and surrounding townships to the market to purchase authentic New Year’s goods, and 925 on-site exhibition booths sold a total of more than 50,000 kilograms of agricultural and sideline products.

　　Guiyang County also collected local and special products from various villages, and held the third New Year’s Shopping Festival on January 6. Fungus food, local chicken and duck, white water sour chili peppers, etc. merged into a "New Year’s goods street". As Mr. Chen, a citizen, bagged the New Year’s goods, he said: "Sour chili peppers are very famous, but it is difficult to buy them too far from the county seat. This time I specially bought a few more cans for relatives and friends to give them a taste."

　　Local seasonal agricultural products continue to sell well, and novel New Year’s goods from all over the world have also begun to hit the shelves.

　　Reporters in Hema Fresh Changsha Xiyingmen store saw that Thailand’s rich shrimp, Australian lobster, New Zealand blue abalone and other fresh seafood and Chilean cherries, afterfruit, Australian mango and other southern hemisphere fruits have been put into the shopping cart by consumers one after another.

　　According to the "Fresh New Year’s Cargo Spring Festival Travel Map" released by Hema Fresh on January 8, there are currently hundreds of high-quality fresh New Year’s cargoes from more than 40 countries around the world, successfully grabbing tickets, air tickets and ferry tickets for the Chinese Spring Festival travel, and non-stop shipping the best local agricultural products to China.

　　According to Hema Fresh data, many Hunan people have achieved "cherries freedom". Chilean cherries have seen a large increase in sales, with sales increasing by more than 500% compared with the same period last year. Consumption frequency has also increased. Hema Fresh staff said that imported fruits and seafood have changed from gifts for relatives to daily consumer goods in people’s family life, appearing on the New Year’s Eve dinner table of more and more families.

　　3.5G era is approaching, keeping up with the new trend of smart consumption

　　"Xiao Ai, play a song" Gong Xi Fa Cai "." At the Xiaomi Home Changsha Wangfujing store, as soon as the staff finished speaking, the smart speaker immediately began to play lively Spring Festival songs. The staff said that before the Spring Festival, many people added household items, and a full set of smart home products such as Xiaomi TVs, air conditioners, sockets, and switches were loved by many young people.

　　According to data released by Tmall on January 8, during Tmall’s "New Year’s Shopping Festival", "post-00s" who officially entered the 20-year-old threshold became loyal fans of smart devices. Bluetooth headphones and smart speakers are new choices in the "post-00s" New Year’s list. Buying a Tmall Genie for parents to enjoy a high-tech smart life has also become a new way for "post-00s" to be filial to their parents.

　　Suning big data shows that on January 1, the sales of smart drying racks on the Ning platform increased by 471% year-on-year, the sales of smart toilet covers increased by 159% year-on-year, and the sales of water purifiers increased by 129% year-on-year. 5G mobile phones have become the new favorite of shopping years ago. The sales of online and offline omni-channel mobile phones on Suning.com are hot, and the sales of 5G mobile phones have increased by 490% month-on-month.

　　It is understood that this year, the sales of Tongcheng Electric smart products have also increased by more than 300% year-on-year.

　　Technology has added new options to Chinese New Year gifts. Mr. Tang, a resident of Changsha, is preparing to buy a smart bracelet as a gift for his grandfather. "It’s Chinese New Year. Wear a smart bracelet for the elderly, so you can monitor your physical condition in real time and do your filial piety," he said.

According to Life Daily, Newton Group (NWTN) is the "pacesetter" of new energy vehicles in the United Arab Emirates, with deep ties to China. Newton Group was formerly known as the Tianjin-based company Iconic. After "Nirvana",Newton Group received funding from the UAE Royal Fund and was established in Dubai in 2016To be born again.Newton Group is now controlled by the Royal Group of the United Arab EmiratesIt has unique advantages in core technologies such as modular pure electric platforms, digital vehicle interconnection systems, electrical and electronic architecture, and autonomous driving. Supercar, full-size SPV, and compact SPV are the main products being developed by Newton Group.

As the first manufacturer to obtain a new energy vehicle production license in Abu Dhabi, the strength of Newton Group should not be underestimated. In May 2022, Newton Group announced that it signed a PIPE subscription agreement with Al Ataa Investment LLC (hereinafter referred to as LLC) in Abu Dhabi, UAE, with a total amount of 200 million US dollars. LLC is the UAE Royal Assets Company, which is not only an important part of the UAE economy, but also represents the national intention of the UAE’s special political system. This subscription shows the strong support of the UAE for new energy vehicles, and also shows the country’s determination to develop local new energy vehicles.

With the strong support of the UAE government,Newton Group successfully "landed" on Nasdaq in the United States on November 14, 2022, becoming the first stock in the United Arab Emirates’ new energy vehicle listing in the United States…

Before putting on the coat of "the first share of new energy vehicles in the United Arab Emirates", Newton Group was active in domestic and foreign markets as the "Iconic" brand.

According to Iconic’s official Weibo chat history, in September 2016, Tianjin Iconic New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. was established. In April of the following year, the company brought its first pure electric MPV to the Shanghai Auto Show and claimed that it had won nearly 10,000 pre-orders at home and abroad before it was listed. The first batch of new cars will be delivered in 2019.

Similar to the "hot-selling" news of the product, there are also its big-name partners that have been officially announced, such as product design by W Motors, a Middle Eastern supercar manufacturer, prototype car building by Turin studio, and working with Microsoft to create future smart travel solutions.

However, as the time came to 2019, Iconic did not release more news on the delivery of orders. But at the same time, the company is still revealing new "highlights". According to a report by China News Service in April 2019, during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show, Iconic founder and president Wu Nan announced that Iconic established Tianjin Tianqi New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd.

In July of the same year, Tianjin Aikonik New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. was renamed Tianjin Tianqi Group Co., Ltd. At that time, many media reported that Aikonik and Tianjin Jinghai District Government, Tianjin Baili Machinery Equipment Group Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Jinghong Investment Development Group Co., Ltd. reached an agreement on the transfer of equity of Meiya Automobile, and thus obtained the car manufacturing qualification.

According to the news released by Tianjin Jinghai District Rongmedia Center in 2019, the Tianqi New Energy Vehicle Headquarters project will be settled in Jinghai District Ziya Economic and Technological Development Zone. The project is divided into two phases as a whole. The first phase starts the new energy vehicle production base project, and the planned annual production capacity is 50,000 new energy MPVs. It is expected to start construction in October 2019 and be completed and put into operation in October the following year.

However, there is no public information on the progress of the project.

Previously, a reporter from the "Daily Economic News" called the investment project department of the Jinghai District Government Service Office to inquire about the follow-up progress of the aforementioned project. After the other party’s inquiry, the project was not established in the system. "[The project unit at that time] may have an agreement with the district government, but it may only be a framework agreement, or a strategic agreement. In the end, the project unit may not be cost-effective (think) it is not suitable, or the supporting site selection may feel that there is a problem, and it will not be connected. Then the project will be completed in the end."
