Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 16th　Title: An important step in reshaping economic and trade relations between China and the United States — — Interpretation of the first-stage economic and trade agreement between China and the United States

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　This is a moment of global concern — —

　　At about 13: 00 local time on January 15th, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Vice Premier the State Council, Liu He, the Chinese leader of the China-US Comprehensive Economic Dialogue, and Trump, the US President, signed the first-stage Sino-US economic and trade agreement at the White House, marking an important step for China and the United States to solve the problem.

　　In the past two years, after 13 rounds of high-level consultations and more than 20 telephone consultations between leaders, this Sino-US economic and trade agreement has not come easily. The agreement is written in Chinese and English, both texts being equally authentic. The agreement includes preface, Chapter I Intellectual Property, Chapter II Technology Transfer, Chapter III Trade in Food and Agricultural Products, Chapter IV Financial Services, Chapter V Macroeconomic Policy, Exchange Rate Issues and Transparency, Chapter VI Trade Expansion, Chapter VII Bilateral Evaluation and Dispute Settlement, and Chapter VIII Final Clauses.

　　What is the significance of the formal signing of the first-stage economic and trade agreement? What are the important points of the agreement text? Both sides are concerned about how to respond in the text. What is the future direction of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation? Xinhua News Agency reporters interviewed authoritative sources for the first time to comprehensively interpret the text of the agreement.

　　Mutual benefit and win-win — — This is an agreement based on equality and mutual respect.

　　Cooperation is the best choice for both China and the United States. When we look at the Chinese version of the agreement, the words "both parties should" appearing in almost every chapter tell us that it is an agreement that strives for balance on the basis of equality and mutual respect.

　　"Many chapters of the agreement not only reflect the interests of the United States, but also reflect the interests of China. It is a balanced agreement that conforms to the interests of both China and the United States." Zhang Yuexiao, former chairman of the Appellate Body of the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism, told reporters that the signing of the first-stage economic and trade agreement between China and the United States has injected a "stabilizer" into China and the United States and the world economy, which has become a starting point for the two countries to rebuild their economic and trade relations.

　　Before the signing of the agreement, there were many concerns that China had made great concessions.

　　From the content of the agreement, it mainly covers three aspects: deepening two-way trade cooperation, further relaxing market access and continuously optimizing the business environment. At the same time, the two sides will establish bilateral evaluation and dispute settlement arrangements to resolve economic and trade differences in a timely and effective manner. On the issue of tariff retrogression, the United States promised to cancel some tariffs on Chinese products. It can be said that this agreement is beneficial to China, the United States and the whole world, which shows the mutual benefit and win-win nature of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation.

　　Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the agreement fully caters to the legitimate concerns of both sides and is generally equal and mutually beneficial. Judging from China’s commitments, whether it is to strengthen intellectual property protection, increase imports of agricultural products and energy products, or expand financial opening up, many provisions are reform and opening-up measures that China has introduced, which are in line with the established direction of China’s reform and opening up.

　　"The signing of the agreement is just the right time, which will help provide a relatively stable external environment for China to maintain sustained and healthy economic development and realize the great cause of national rejuvenation." Gao Lingyun said that the agreement also pushed the United States to realize the turning point of increasing tariffs on China from rising to falling, including suspending the tariffs originally scheduled to be increased on December 15th last year, and reducing the tariff rate on China, which came into effect on September 1st last year, from 15% to 7.5%. This is also the first time that the current US administration has reduced the tariffs already imposed by a country, which is conducive to gradually returning Sino-US economic and trade relations to the right track.

　　After the signing of the agreement, will the US unilaterally send personnel to China to supervise the implementation? Zhang Yuexiao said that one of the highlights of the agreement in dispute settlement is that the word "supervision" is not used throughout, and the word "arrangement" is used instead. The US will not send personnel to China to supervise the implementation, and both sides promise to establish bilateral evaluation and dispute settlement arrangements. "In fact, outside the WTO, the two sides have built a platform to resolve differences and frictions. Through the bottom-up communication and dialogue mechanism from the bureau level to the ministerial level, differences can be managed and discussed, and the trade rights and interests of both sides can be better protected."

　　According to the agreement, China and the United States should resume macroeconomic meetings to discuss comprehensive economic issues. This makes the outside world have more expectations for China and the United States to manage their differences more effectively through dialogue and consultation and promote the development of Sino-US economic and trade relations under the new historical conditions.

　　Complementary advantages — — There is room and principle for China to expand imports from the United States.

　　Deepening two-way trade cooperation is a major attraction of the agreement. The two sides promised to expand the scale of trade in manufactured goods, agricultural products, energy products and services.

　　"The economies of China and the United States are highly complementary. From the perspective of the super-large-scale economy and market of the two countries, Sino-US trade potential is huge." Dong Yan, director of the International Trade Research Office of the Institute of World Economics and Politics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said.

　　Deepening trade cooperation is conducive to the optimal allocation of resources and the adjustment of economic structure between the two countries, to further giving play to the complementary characteristics of the two economies, to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, to deepen global economic and trade cooperation, to effectively boost confidence in the global market and to maintain the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain.

　　"The two sides responded to China and the United States with tangible actions ‘ Decoupling ’ Speech is conducive to consolidating the foundation of Sino-US relations and enhancing the certainty for the stable development of the global economy. " Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of China International Economic Exchange Center, said.

　　China, with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, has the largest and most growing middle-income group in the world, with great market potential and great room for expanding imports. Importing high-quality goods and services from the United States is conducive to meeting China’s expanding market demand. In 2019, the import scale of China’s goods trade exceeded US$ 2 trillion, and the import scale of services was around US$ 500 billion. The huge market scale attracted worldwide attention.

　　There are also rules to follow in expanding imports from the United States. According to the agreement, the United States should take appropriate measures to ensure that there are enough American goods and services for China to purchase and import, and China will conduct procurement activities based on market prices and commercial considerations.

　　Zhang Yansheng emphasized that enterprises are the main body of procurement activities, and the most important responsibility of the Chinese and American governments is to create conditions for normal and legal economic and trade exchanges between enterprises. China has repeatedly expressed its willingness to encourage domestic enterprises to abide by WTO rules, negotiate import agreements with American enterprises according to the principle of marketization, and ensure that they will not discriminate against goods and services from other countries and regions.

　　Experts emphasized that expanding imports will naturally bring certain market competition, structural products and interest adjustment. However, China has accumulated successful experience since the reform and opening up and nearly 20 years of WTO accession, and the majority of market players have sufficient competition tolerance, which will also help to effectively achieve transformation and upgrading through competition.

　　One side wants to buy more, and the other side has to sell more. Wang Honggang, director of the American Institute of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, stressed that expanding trade requires the joint efforts of both sides. He hoped that the US side would follow China’s lead, expand the production capacity of various products and services, improve product quality and price competitiveness, and meet the relevant regulatory requirements of China. If China’s imports from the United States are affected by the relevant actions of the United States and other circumstances, China has the right to propose consultations with the United States, which is conducive to promoting the realization of procurement commitments.

　　Two-way benefit — — Agricultural products trade will not affect China’s food security.

　　Sino-US agricultural cooperation is an important pillar of bilateral relations. The chapter on trade in food and agricultural products in the agreement covers key areas of bilateral agricultural cooperation such as dairy products, poultry meat, beef, pork, processed meat, aquatic products, rice, fruits, feed and pet food.

　　Experts said that the implementation of the agreement will greatly increase China’s imports of agricultural products from the United States, which to some extent responds to the concerns of the United States, but it will not have an impact on domestic agriculture, let alone affect national food security, and can ensure that China’s rice bowl is firmly in its own hands. At the same time, the import of agricultural products from the United States should also meet the requirements of China’s import supervision standards.

　　China is the world’s largest importer of agricultural products, accounting for 1/10 of the global agricultural trade. Among them, about 85% of China’s soybean consumption depends on imports, and the annual soybean imports are about 90 million tons.

　　"China’s population is 1 billion more than that of the United States, and its arable land is 1 billion mu less. The two countries have broad space for agricultural cooperation, and expanding imports is conducive to filling the gap between domestic supply and demand." Zhang Yansheng said.

　　Gao Lingyun analyzed that on the one hand, domestic demand is growing, and China has full market capacity to import agricultural products; On the other hand, importing agricultural products can enrich people’s choices and reduce consumption cost.

　　An equal and mutually beneficial agreement is not only bought by one party in buy buy. One of the highlights of this agreement is to open the door for expanding China’s agricultural products exports to the United States, which is an important substantive achievement.

　　In the process of economic and trade consultation, the US announced the final rules for allowing China’s cooked poultry meat to be exported to the US, and China became the country qualified to export its own cooked poultry meat to the US after Canada, Mexico, Chile and other countries. The United States also recognizes that the catfish supervision system in China is equivalent to that in the United States, and allows pears, oranges and fresh dates from China to be exported to the United States.

　　The data shows that in 2018, China’s agricultural exports reached nearly 80 billion US dollars, including 7.7 billion US dollars to the United States, accounting for about 1/10 of the total agricultural exports. With the substantial achievements in the export of agricultural products to the United States and the resolution of some export obstacles that have been deadlocked for more than 10 years, Chinese farmers and industries will also benefit.

　　According to the agreement, China will import some wheat, corn and rice from the United States, but the quantity will be strictly controlled within the tariff quota. It is reported that the self-sufficiency rate of wheat, corn and rice in China has never fallen below 98%, which means that the expansion of grain imports from international markets, including the United States, is only for variety adjustment and will not exceed the quota limit.

　　"We will adhere to the basic self-sufficiency of grain and the absolute safety of rations, and the bottom line of national food security will not be broken." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs stressed.

　　Helping innovation — — Intellectual property protection and technology transfer reflect the wishes of both parties and meet the inherent needs of China’s development.

　　Intellectual property protection and technology transfer have always been the focus of Sino-US economic and trade negotiations. The agreement covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, geographical indications, intellectual property protection of drugs and networks, and makes specific provisions on technology transfer in special chapters.

　　There are many aspects of the agreement, such as the protection of drug intellectual property rights, the stipulation of supplementary data for drug patent application and the effective mechanism for early settlement of patent disputes, which will help to better protect drug research and development; In the aspect of combating network infringement, it stipulates the responsibility of taking off the notice of e-commerce platform to better protect consumers’ rights and interests; The agreement also regulates malicious complaints, cracks down on malicious trademark registration, and strengthens the protection of trade secrets.

　　"The content of intellectual property rights reflects the common will of China and the United States to provide high-level intellectual property protection for enterprises and people in both countries." Zhang Yuexiao said that in recent years, the level of intellectual property protection in China has been continuously improved, and many solid and effective measures have been introduced. "If you look closely at the agreement, you will find that many terms are consistent with the policies and regulations that China has already introduced."

　　According to the agreement, in the chapter on technology transfer, the two sides agreed not to use administrative management and administrative licensing requirements to force technology transfer, which is conducive to creating an environment that respects knowledge value and encourages innovation, and pushing the government to shift from R&D management to innovative services.

　　"At the beginning of China’s accession to the WTO, China made a commitment. So far, there is no mandatory technology transfer provision in any law. The foreign investment law implemented on January 1 this year also explicitly prohibits mandatory technology transfer, which shows the international image of China’s commitment." Gao Lingyun said.

　　It is worth noting that, whether in the chapter on intellectual property or technology transfer, the relevant requirements and obligations are equal and balanced for both China and the United States, and both sides need to abide by them.

　　Gao Lingyun said that China’s efforts to strengthen intellectual property protection are aimed at providing a better business environment for all enterprises, including US-funded enterprises, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of various market players. Similarly, the United States should provide the same level of protection for the intellectual property rights of China enterprises and better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese-funded enterprises in the United States.

　　Cheng Dawei, a professor at the School of Economics of Renmin University of China, said that this is in line with China’s own needs to promote the construction of an innovative country, and it is also a concrete manifestation of the new development concept. I believe that after the agreement is reached, China will further stimulate the innovation and development vitality of the whole society in accordance with the established rhythm and better achieve high-quality development.

　　Stabilize the market — — Financial services are open, autonomous and orderly, and exchange rate policy is by no means a replica of some square agreement.

　　China and the United States are highly complementary in the financial field and have great room for cooperation. According to the agreement, China and the United States promised to provide fair and effective non-discriminatory market access treatment in the fields of banking, securities, insurance, electronic payment and financial asset management. China promises to treat all opening measures equally and accept applications from various financial institutions in compliance with the law; The United States actively promotes the resolution of practical obstacles encountered by Chinese-funded institutions in doing business in the United States.

　　"China’s commitment to financial services is consistent with China’s independent and orderly opening up of the financial industry in recent years. Many terms have been announced and many measures are being implemented." Cheng Dawei said.

　　In recent years, the opening-up of China’s financial industry has been steady and steady. At present, most measures have been put in place, and many foreign-funded financial institutions have entered China to actually carry out business.

　　Zhang Yansheng emphasized that the opening up of China’s financial industry is not a matter of letting go and letting itself drift. The opening up and supervision of China’s financial industry are always in parallel to ensure that no risks occur.

　　Both China and the United States are basket countries of special drawing rights (SDR), and the consensus reached by the two countries on the exchange rate issue is crucial to the orderly operation of the global market.

　　Many people in the industry have found that more than ten clauses on exchange rate policy in the agreement all start from the promises of "both sides", showing strong reciprocity. The two sides promised to respect each other’s monetary policy autonomy, treat the exchange rate issue equally, let the market decide the exchange rate system, avoid competitive devaluation, and enhance the transparency of exchange rate policy.

　　Ding Zhijie, director of the Foreign Exchange Research Center of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said that there have been concerns that the Sino-US exchange rate agreement is a replica of some kind of plaza agreement. The agreement signed this time proves that it is by no means a mutual respect and consultation agreement, which embodies multilateral consensus and can be said to be a model for coordinating exchange rate policies among big countries.

　　The agreement also made a clear definition of "large-scale, sustained and one-way intervention" on exchange rate manipulation. Cheng Dawei said that according to this definition, it is obviously not in line with the spirit of the agreement that the United States listed China as a "currency manipulator" before. Before the signing of the agreement, the United States cancelled its previous mistaken identification of China as a "currency manipulator", thus clearing the way for the signing of the agreement.

　　Whether the agreement is good or not is up to the market. Experts believe that since the two sides announced an agreement on the text of the first phase agreement on December 13, 2019, the global economic and financial markets have responded positively in the past month, and the US stock market has reached a new high. It is believed that after this mutually beneficial and win-win agreement is formally signed, it will help to manage differences and solve problems, help to restore market expectations and confidence, and promote the stability of the financial markets of the two countries and the world.

Xinhua News Agency, Boao, Hainan, March 30th

Guided by the concept of community of human destiny
Inject more certainty into world peace and development.
-Keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 2023 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia
(March 30, 2023, Boao, Hainan)
Li Qiang, Prime Minister of the State Council, People’s Republic of China (PRC)

Dear heads of government,

Dear heads of international organizations,

Dear directors of Boao Forum for Asia,

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen, friends,

I am very happy to meet you in the beautiful Hainan Island and attend the 2023 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia. First of all, on behalf of the China Municipal Government, I would like to extend my warm congratulations on the opening of the annual meeting! I would like to extend my sincere welcome to all the guests! Thank you for your long-term concern and support for the development of China!

The theme of this annual meeting is "An uncertain world: unity and cooperation to meet challenges, openness and tolerance to promote development", which is in line with the current situation and concerns of all parties and has strong practical significance. In today’s world, chaos is intertwined, and human society is facing unprecedented challenges. Instability, uncertainty and unpredictability have become the norm. In this great change full of uncertainty, people urgently hope to have more and stronger deterministic forces to push the world forward towards a better future.

Ten years ago, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader first put forward the important concept of a community of human destiny, and then on many international occasions, including the Boao Forum for Asia, he profoundly expounded China’s proposition of building a community of human destiny, and further put forward global development initiatives, global security initiatives and global civilization initiatives, providing a Chinese plan for global development and governance. In the past 10 years, China has promoted the building of a community of human destiny with pragmatic actions and achieved a series of significant practical results. In particular, the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has driven the vast number of developing countries to accelerate their development and opened up new space for the world economy. At the same time, it has also made fruitful efforts in advocating political settlement of the crisis, solving international hot issues, persuading peace and promoting talks, and turning war into friendship, demonstrating the responsibility of a responsible big country. These are vivid practices of the concept of a community of human destiny. Facts have proved that the concept of a community of human destiny has become a banner that leads the trend of the times and human progress, and a source of certainty that promotes lasting peace and common prosperity in the world.

Now, Asia and the world are at the crossroads of historical evolution. We must hold high the banner of the concept of a community of human destiny, work together to build a community of Asian destiny, build an anchor of world peace and stability, a source of growth and a new highland of cooperation, inject more certainty into world peace and development, and strive to create a better future for mankind.

First, jointly protect a peaceful and stable development environment and inject more certainty into the chaotic and intertwined international situation. Peace is the premise of development. In the past few decades, Asia has achieved remarkable development achievements in the world, which cannot be separated from the overall peaceful and stable environment; In order to achieve greater development in Asia in the future, there must be no chaos and war, otherwise it will ruin its future. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the Bandung Spirit, which were born nearly 70 years ago, are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Asian people. The "Asian way", which takes mutual respect, consensus and taking care of the comfort of all parties as important principles, provides basic follow-up for cooperation and development between countries. The more turbulent the world situation is, the more we should cherish these precious wealth and resolutely protect the hard-won peace situation. We must always adhere to good-neighborliness and friendship, support ASEAN’s central position in East Asian regional cooperation, share security and destiny, and ensure lasting peace and stability in Asia. We should implement the global security initiative, adhere to the common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept, oppose the abuse of unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction", oppose taking sides, group confrontation and the "new cold war", persist in resolving differences and disputes between countries by peaceful means, and jointly safeguard world peace and tranquility.

Second, work together to create a more dynamic growth center and inject more certainty into the recovery of the world economy. Asia has nearly 60% of the global population, nearly 40% of the total economic output and more than 30% of international trade, and is the "ballast stone" and "propeller" of the world economy. We should implement global development initiatives, seize the opportunity of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and create new growth poles in cooperation fields such as digital economy and green economy, so as to make Asia a "power source" for world economic recovery and development. It is necessary to further promote regional economic integration, strengthen macro-policy coordination, implement the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with high quality, actively promote the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area version 3.0 negotiations, build a regional production division system with complementary advantages and win-win cooperation, and promote the formation of a more open regional market. It is necessary to build an open world economy, jointly build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, promote the liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment, oppose trade protectionism and "decoupling and breaking the chain", ensure the stable and smooth supply chain of the global industrial chain, and inject strong momentum into the development of the world economy.

Third, jointly expand effective ways of unity and cooperation and inject more certainty into profoundly changed global governance. Today’s world is a global village, the future and destiny of all countries are closely linked, and many global problems we face need to be discussed and solved together. Last year, Asian countries successfully hosted the BRICS Leaders’ Meeting, the East Asian Cooperation Leaders’ Meeting, the G20 Leaders’ Summit and the APEC Leaders’ Informal Meeting, which played an important role in improving global governance. We must adhere to the concept of global governance, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at the core and the international order based on international law, continuously deepen cooperation in the fields of food, energy, eco-environment, disaster prevention and mitigation, climate change and poverty reduction, jointly send out the strong voice of the times of peace and development, jointly release the positive signal of adhering to multilateralism, and promote the development of the global governance system in a more just and rational direction.

Fourth, we should jointly promote the deepening of people-to-people exchanges and inject more certainty into the integration and symbiosis of different civilizations. Not long ago, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed the Global Civilization Initiative, which provided important guidance for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and promoting the progress of human civilization. Asia is the representative of the diversity of civilizations, and different civilizations complement each other. At the same time, Asian countries are at different stages of development, most of them are still developing countries, and each country has its own unique history, culture and specific national conditions. We are willing to work with all parties to implement the global civilization initiative and strive to create a new situation of cultural exchanges, cultural integration and people’s hearts. We must adhere to mutual respect, mutual trust, openness and tolerance, respect the development path independently chosen by all countries, and oppose the "clash of civilizations" and ideological confrontation. It is necessary to carry forward the common values of all mankind, strengthen exchanges in the fields of culture, education, health, youth and media, enhance understanding and trust through sincere communication, properly handle differences and problems by seeking common ground while reserving differences, and create a model for different civilizations to blend and coexist.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends!

As the largest developing country in the world, China’s development is of world significance. While doing our best to do our own thing well, we actively conform to the trend of the times of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order. China has created two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, which in itself is a contribution to the world. It can be said that in an uncertain world, the certainty of China is the mainstay of maintaining world peace and development. This was the case in the past, especially in the future and the present.

From the future, the development goals and prospects of China are certain. The The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China（CPC） held in October last year drew a blueprint for the future development of China, and clearly pointed out that by the middle of this century, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s central task is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, realize the goal of the second century, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. The modernization that China wants to build is a modernization with a huge population, the common prosperity of all people, the harmony between material civilization and spiritual civilization, the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the peaceful development path. We will never realize modernization by means of war, colonization, plunder, etc., and will definitely make more than 1.4 billion people move into a modern society by peaceful development, which will bring strong momentum to economic growth in Asia and the world. To accomplish this central task, it takes a long period of continuous struggle. In this process, no matter what changes take place in the world, we will always adhere to the drive of reform, opening up and innovation, which will not only inject new impetus and vitality into the economic development of the whole world, but also let all countries in the world share the opportunities and dividends of China’s development. I think a long-term stable and dedicated China, a down-to-earth and courageous China, and a confident, open and sharing China must be a great force for world prosperity and stability.

At present, the momentum and situation of China’s economic growth are strong. In the first two months of this year, China’s economy showed a trend of recovery, with major economic indicators such as consumption and investment improving, employment prices generally stable, market expectations improved significantly, manufacturing purchasing managers’ index continuously stood above threshold, and several international organizations raised their expectations for China’s economic growth this year. Real scenes may be more convincing than statistics. Take Hainan Island, where Boao Forum is located, as an example, the tourism industry has changed from "Golden Week" of the Spring Festival to "Golden Month" and "Golden Season", and tourists are always everywhere, and the sales of duty-free goods on outlying islands continue to be hot, which fully reflects the strong economic resilience, great potential and vitality of China, the long-term positive fundamentals of China’s economy, and the scientific and effective policies and measures for China’s economic and social development. In the next step, we will continue to adhere to the principle of stability and strive for progress, consolidate and expand the economic recovery to a good trend, and promote the sustained overall improvement of economic operation; We will organically combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with deepening the structural reform on the supply side, and continue to expand the market scale of China; We will introduce new measures in expanding market access, optimizing the business environment, and ensuring the landing of projects, and constantly optimize the institutional environment in which state-owned enterprises dare to do things, private enterprises dare to venture, and foreign companies dare to invest; We will effectively prevent and resolve major risks, especially to maintain the overall stability of China’s financial operation and firmly hold the bottom line that no systemic risks will occur. We are confident and capable of pushing the great ship of China’s economy to ride the wind and waves, make steady progress and make greater contributions to the development of the world economy.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends!

Another "Asian event" this year is that the 19th Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou in the golden autumn. The epidemic delayed the meeting and made us look forward to it more. From the ends of the earth to the west lake, there are many beautiful places in the open China. You are welcome to visit more. Where there is scenery, there must be a new economy, and there will be many mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation business opportunities. I believe that as long as we join hands, unite and cooperate to meet challenges, be open and inclusive and promote development, we will certainly bring more certainty to Asia and the world, and we will certainly create a better future for human society!

Finally, I wish the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2023 a complete success!

Thank you!

　　The free charging treasure sent on the road hides the Trojan horse? Does the Exit-Entry Center of the Ministry of Public Security close the system ahead of the Spring Festival holiday? "Eating melon seeds = drinking oil", are these true? At this time of the year, some rumors related to the Chinese New Year will come out one after another. Today, I will take a look at it for you. Let’s take a look.

　　Travel articles

　　The free charging treasure sent on the road hides the Trojan horse?

　　Content:Recently, a video of a "free charging treasure hidden mystery" shot from a media account was spread on the Internet. After the "free charging treasure" in the video was dismantled, there was a hidden device that stole the user’s mobile phone information. Is this true?

　　Truth:It is theoretically and practically possible for the modified charging treasure to steal the information of mobile phone users, which can be realized by installing a Trojan horse program. During my stay in Spring Festival travel rush, I hope everyone will take precautions at railway stations and various stations, and don’t be greedy for petty gains and cause greater losses.

　　Is "Spring Festival traffic broadcast" a virus?

　　Content:"The Spring Festival is a long way to go home. What if the traffic is not enough? Urgent notice from the public security network supervisor: If you receive a message with ‘ "Spring Festival Traffic Broadcast" traffic collection package, I have received 4G traffic waiting for you to collect it … ’ Please don’t open it, but delete it immediately. If you open it, all relevant information in your mobile phone will be stolen. This is a new virus, and its danger has been confirmed, and anti-virus software can’t remove it. " Is it true?/You don’t say.

　　Truth:According to some media, local public security departments have never released the information related to the "Emergency Notice of Public Security Network Supervision". However, the police also reminded everyone: Do not trust calls and text messages of unknown origin, do not click on unknown web links, and involve money-related information such as transfer and remittance, and ignore them. If the content itself contains links, it is likely to be phishing links and needs to be vigilant.

　　"Eating melon seeds = drinking oil", is this true?

　　Content:Melon seeds are one of the necessities for every family. However, there has been a rumor on the Internet that "eating melon seeds equals drinking oil" because the fat content of melon seeds is very high. Is this true?

　　Truth:Nutrition expert Ruan Guangfeng said that this statement completely exaggerated the disadvantages of melon seeds. Judging from the current research, eating melon seeds properly is actually beneficial to health. Take sunflower seeds as an example, the fat content in every 100g of sunflower seeds is about 19g, while the daily edible oil recommended by Chinese Dietary Pagoda is only 25g — 30 grams Looking at this data, many people may think that eating melon seeds is really the same as eating oil. But in fact, although there is no essential difference between the fat we ingest from melon seeds and the fat we ingest from oil, it is somewhat exaggerated to say that eating melon seeds is equivalent to drinking oil.

　　Is sugar really more terrible than drugs?

　　Content:Candy, cakes and other sweets always make people want to stop, especially during the Chinese New Year holiday. But in recent years, many articles and film and television works have said that eating too much sugar will make people addicted and do more harm than drugs … … Is sugar really more terrible than drugs?

　　Truth:Nutrition expert Ruan Guangfeng said that eating more sugar is not good for health, but "toxicity is greater than drugs" is purely exaggerated. Judging from the current research, eating more sugar is really bad for health. However, it should be pointed out that sugar here refers to added sugar, not naturally occurring sugar in food. Added sugar refers to sugar added to food, including sugar in honey and fruit juice. However, it does not include sugar found in natural foods, such as sugar in fresh fruits and lactose in milk. After evaluating the relationship between sugar intake and health, the World Health Organization believes that excessive sugar intake will increase the risk of dental caries and obesity, and obesity may increase the risk of other diseases. In the past, we didn’t say there was something wrong with eating sugar. In fact, it was because we used to eat less, but now we eat too much. But if sugar is more harmful than drugs and addictive, it exaggerates the harm of sugar.

　　People who blush when drinking generally drink more alcohol.

　　Content:"When I go home for the New Year, when I meet my relatives, friends and old classmates, I always get together for dinner. Drinking during the dinner is indispensable. I often hear people say," People who blush when drinking are generally able to drink a lot, because alcohol runs all over their faces and doesn’t go to their stomachs. " Is it true?/You don’t say.

　　Truth:Zeng Jing, director of the Nutrition Department of Guangdong Armed Police Corps Hospital, said that under normal circumstances, alcohol (ethanol) is metabolized into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase in human body, then turned into acetic acid under the action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, and finally oxidized into carbon dioxide and water. The contents of these two enzymes related to alcohol metabolism vary from person to person and are related to heredity. If the body lacks acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, the ability to decompose acetaldehyde is not strong, which will lead to acetaldehyde accumulation in the human body, and the capillaries on the face will expand, eventually leading to blushing. In fact, people who blush when drinking are not good drinkers. We should control the amount and degree of drinking, and don’t drink too fast, so as to control the process of alcohol entering the body and gain more time for body metabolism.

　　It doesn’t matter if you can’t keep your mouth shut, as long as you exercise more afterwards?

　　Content:It’s inevitable to eat and drink when you go home for the New Year. It doesn’t matter if you can’t control your mouth, as long as you exercise more afterwards?

　　Truth:If you choose to treat yourself with a high-sugar milkshake and a muffin or other "healthy" snacks after exercise, your weight loss plan will not be completed in nine cases out of ten. If you can’t change your diet structure and only place your weight loss hopes on exercise, you are likely to become a healthy and strong fat man — — You are likely to gain some muscles, increase endurance and become healthier, but you still can’t shake off the numbers on the scale. Face the facts, people who want to lose weight! Without changing bad eating habits, you can’t lose weight by exercising alone. Exercise is important, but if you want to lose weight, you need a healthy diet, which is rich in enough fruits and vegetables, healthy fat and protein. (Xinhuanet reporter Yuan Han, edited by Guangzhou Daily, The Paper and Heilongjiang Satellite TV) Interview expert: Ruan Guangfeng, director of the Science and Technology Department of the Food and Nutrition Information Exchange Center.

　　　　　 CCTV News:On the afternoon of November 30, 2017, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. A reporter mentioned that Zhang Yang committed suicide during the investigation. Was the former Chief of Staff Fang Fenghui also investigated on the same day?

　　Now the answer is finally revealed-

　　On January 9, 2018, Xinhua News Agency reported that with the approval of the CPC Central Committee, Fang Fenghui, a member of People’s Republic of China (PRC) the Central Military Commission (CMC) (former member of CPC Central Military Commission and former chief of staff of the Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission), was transferred to the military procuratorate for handling according to law on suspicion of bribery.

　　He is an "old partner" with "suicide general" Zhang Yang.

　　Zhang Yang and Fang Fenghui were old partners of the Guangzhou Military Region. According to their resumes, both of them joined the army in 1968. Fang Fenghui was the chief of staff of the Guangzhou Military Region from 2003 to 2007, and Zhang Yang was the director of the Political Department of the Guangzhou Military Region from 2004 to 2007. They worked in the same team for three years. Then, they were in charge of the General Staff Department and the General Political Department.

　　When he was promoted to the rank of general on July 19, 2010, Fang Fenghui was the commander of the Beijing Military Region and Zhang Yang was the political commissar of the Guangzhou Military Region.

　　In 2012, the Fourth Headquarters of the People’s Liberation Army made major personnel changes, with Fang Fenghui as the Chief of Staff of the People’s Liberation Army of China and Zhang Yang as the Director of the General Political Department of the People’s Liberation Army of China. It was also this personnel adjustment, and Zhang and Fang took charge of the General Political Department and the General Staff and became partners again.

　　Looking at the website of the Ministry of National Defense, it is not difficult to find that Zhang Yang last appeared in front of the media on August 7, 2017. According to Xinhua News Agency, on the same day, the central delegation flew to Hohhot to attend the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. As a member of the Central Military Commission and director of the Political Work Department of the Military Commission, Zhang Yang arrived at the same time as other members of the Central Delegation.

　　According to official sources, on August 28th, 2017, the Central Military Commission organized a talk with him to investigate and verify his clues about the cases involving Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou.

　　Fang Fenghui’s last publicly reported activity was a meeting with Suraphol, Supreme Commander of the Thai Armed Forces, in Bayi Building on the afternoon of August 21, 2017.

　　On August 26, 2017, Li Zuocheng, Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission, met with Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Bajwa in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The above information shows that Fang Fenghui is no longer the chief of staff of the Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission.

　　On September 6, 2017, the list of representatives of the People’s Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force attending the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was announced. Fang Fenghui and Zhang Yang were not on the list.

　　On October 24, 2017, the 19th National Congress elected a new Central Committee, and neither Fang Fenghui nor Zhang Yang was elected.

　　On the morning of November 23, 2017, Zhang Yang hanged himself at home. After investigation and verification, Zhang Yang seriously violated the law and discipline, and was suspected of bribery and huge amounts of property with unknown sources. Junbao commented that Zhang Yang committed suicide for fear of sin! This once powerful general ended his life in such a shameful way.

　　Typical "two-faced"

　　On the second day after the news of Fang Fenghui’s fall from the horse was announced, the military newspaper commented that dealing with Fang Fenghui’s suspected bribery and bribery crimes according to law is an important part of thoroughly eliminating the pernicious influence of Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, and an important measure to further promote the building of a clean and honest party style and the fight against corruption.

　　Fang Fenghui and Guo Boxiong are both from Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, and when he was the commander of the 21st Army of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, Guo Boxiong was the commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, and they were in a superior-subordinate relationship. In 2003, Fang Fenghui and Guo Boxiong, then vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, came to all the virtues Village, baishan town, Changping District, Beijing to participate in voluntary tree planting.

　　According to media reports, Zhang Yang and Xu Caihou also have many origins. On the evening of October 20, 2012, Xu Caihou, then vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, watched the drama "Declaration of Life" which was jointly created by Nanjing Institute of Political Science of the People’s Liberation Army and the General Political Drama Troupe, reflecting the advanced deeds of Yan Gaohong, a "model theoretical worker". After the performance, Zhang Yang, a former political commissar of the Guangzhou Military Region, followed Xu Caihou and shook hands with the performers. He also attended the subsequent discussion.

　　Five days later, on October 25, 2012, the database of leaders of the Military Commission Headquarters on the website of the Ministry of National Defense was updated, and Zhang Yang was confirmed as the director of the General Political Department.

　　However, after the fall of Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, Zhang Yang and Fang Fenghui, of course, also took a clear stand and criticized Guo Xu’s pernicious problem with a large space.

　　For example, at the National People’s Congress in 2016, Fang Fenghui participated in the deliberation of the delegation of the People’s Liberation Army in groups. He stressed that the pernicious influence of the cases of Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou should be thoroughly eliminated and the responsibility system for the chairman of the Military Commission should be implemented in a concrete, comprehensive and whole process.

　　Since the Gutian Conference in 2014, Zhang Yang has made a statement to eliminate Guo Xu’s pernicious influence more than once. On August 26, 2016, the meeting of the leading group for the whole army to implement the spirit of Gutian Political Work Association was held. Zhang Yang attended and spoke as the leader of the leading group for the whole army to implement the spirit of Gutian Political Work Association. At the meeting, Zhang Yang spent a lot of time talking about the poisonous problems of Guo and Xu. Zhang Yang said that it is necessary to work hard to eliminate the influence of pernicious influence. Focusing on leading cadres, we will further do a good job in exposing and criticizing, so as to achieve emotional hatred and political break, and effectively draw a clear line with Guo Xu’s circle, conduct, routines and style.

　　Now both of them are eroded by Guo Xu’s pernicious influence, and one is dead and one is imprisoned. How to evaluate them?

　　In this regard, the military newspaper said that as a senior cadre of the Party and the army, Fang Fenghui should have set an example and taken the lead in practicing the Party’s purpose, but he wavered in his ideals and beliefs, abandoned the Party’s purpose, deteriorated politically and became greedy economically, completely deviated from the principle of party spirit, failed to live up to the trust of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission and the expectations of the people, and seriously tarnished the image of the Party, the army and leading cadres.

　　Similar comments also appeared on Zhang Yang: as a senior cadre of the Party and the army, Zhang Yang lost his ideals and beliefs, lost the principle of party spirit, lost his respect for law and discipline, and lost his moral bottom line. He had two performances on stage and two faces behind his predecessors, shouting loyalty on his lips and engaging in corruption behind his back. He was a typical "two-faced man". Its serious violation of discipline and law has caused serious harm to the cause of the party and the army, tarnishing the image of the party, the army, the political work and the leading cadres.

Relying on the development of catering industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Deyue has grown into a large and medium-sized catering group with more than 4,000 employees and more than 30 inter-provincial and inter-city chain stores in 20 years, and has laid out a number of industry tracks such as central kitchen, business school and prepared dishes, and its annual revenue will soon exceed 1 billion yuan.

Such rapid and steady development is due to one person’s accurate market decisions and business strategies, as well as the pursuit of ingenious quality of catering. Let’s walk into Deyue Group and have a face-to-face exchange with Mr. Dong Xinmin, the chairman of the board of directors, to deeply understand his "36 Plan" and the development road of Deyue Group.

"I have been engaged in catering food for more than 40 years.This is the first sentence that Mr. Dong Xinmin said to the camera of China Food Exhibition. In 1978, 17-year-old Mr. Dong Xinmin missed the university by a few minutes, and entered the cooking major of Ningbo Commercial School by mistake. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with the catering industry. After graduation, he first worked as the general manager and the manager of the catering department in Deqing Hotel, and then he stood out from the crowd under heavy selection, and got the job opportunity to go abroad in the embassy of China. "Everything is the best arrangement", rich work experience and accumulated experience have laid the foundation for Mr. Dong Xinmin’s success in the catering industry. In 2002, it coincided with the restructuring. He made a decisive attack to borrow 200,000 yuan from the bank to rent Deqing International Trade Hotel, and started his own catering business, which also opened a glorious chapter for Deyue Group.

Secret book of explosion: meeting consumer demand

Why does Deyue’s restaurant open a fire shop?

Take the "Wanjiadenghuo" Hotel in Liyang, Changzhou, which took over in 2003 as an example: after Mr. Dong Xinmin took over, the annual output of this hotel reached more than 4 million yuan, and it is still one of the hotels with the best operating efficiency. The reason for the popularity of Deyue Hotel is summed up by Mr. Dong Xinmin in seven words: "Delicious, inexpensive and dignified". As a culinary professional, he naturally doesn’t have to say much about the quality and taste requirements of catering food, but more importantly, he found a piece of business opportunities that consumers have needs but can’t meet in the market at present: the average casual catering customer has a low unit price, but it rarely meets the needs of guests for boxes; Almost all star-rated hotels or high-end clubs can provide boxes for customers, with high prices and single dishes. In this case, Deyue accurately locates the target group as middle and high-end consumers who have certain spending power and need independent space in business gatherings and family gatherings.

Deyuede hotel box

"As a boss, the first thing to do in catering is to be delicious and the products are better; The second is to be cheap and cost-effective; The third is to give the guests face, and the decoration layout is better. When guests come in, they feel that this hotel is of high grade, and it tastes good when they eat it. When they check out, they find it very cheap. There is no reason for guests not to come. "

It is precisely because of finding the right demand and giving consumers direct satisfaction that Deyue’s catering has opened a fire, and it will come again once. "When we open a shop anywhere, we don’t rely on social relations. I think there is a market here. When we find a suitable store, we will go to decorate and open a store, which is completely market-oriented, so our store has been stable and very popular until now."

Deyue’s restaurant chain road: accurately formulating development strategy

How did Deyue quickly become a chain restaurant group from a restaurant?

Deyue’s hotel chain development strategy is to start the chain outside the province, aim at the top 100 counties outside the province, find the relatively backward business opportunities of the catering industry in second-and third-tier cities, and then use the strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside" to open to the first-tier cities.

"Third-and fourth-tier cities open big stores, and first-and second-tier cities open small stores." The initial funds can’t support Deyue to enter the first-tier cities, but it can go to the third-and fourth-tier cities to be the boss. Adhering to the principle of "delicious, inexpensive and dignified", Deyue has made great efforts in small cities, with large stores and luxurious decoration. Although the initial investment is large, the success rate is high and it will soon return to profit. "You open a hotel in a big city, the somebody else already has several, no splash. However, if you go to a small county to open the largest hotel in the area, you will naturally get attention from the beginning of the renovation. When you look at it, you don’t need to do publicity, and people will come in. "

De yue de Cai Cai

The first stop of the chain road outside the province is in Taixing, Jiangsu. "Our restaurant chain is going to open the first one, so it is only natural that it should be carefully considered. Wu Kang (Deqing), where we are located, is a small county after all. At that time, we opened a store with not much money. I also know that if we drive to a first-tier city, such as Hangzhou, the market will definitely be good, but our funds are not enough to support us to open a shop in Hangzhou. So what shall we do? We’ll go to the top 100 counties with spending power. After finding the right one, we found that Jiangsu has a large population, but its economy is not as developed as that of Zhejiang, and its catering is relatively backward. Compared with Zhejiang, their restaurants are poorly decorated, with few dishes and high prices, but the market is huge. When we saw this business opportunity, we went to Jiangsu to copy it according to our business philosophy of this restaurant in Zhejiang, and the result was a success. With this model, in the last ten years, the probability of success is 100% when we set up a shop in a place where catering is behind us but we have the ability to spend. Even now, the store we opened before is still the best local restaurant. "

In 2010, after the chain outside the province was a great success and accumulated a certain amount of funds, Deyue’s development focus returned to the province and locked in first-tier cities. "If an enterprise wants to do a good job, it definitely needs a brand. Because our second-and third-tier cities in Jiangsu are scattered, opening more stores is not enough for brand promotion. Opening ten stores in Jiangsu may not be as helpful as opening a successful store in Shanghai and Hangzhou. So when we opened stores in second-and third-tier cities and accumulated some funds, we began to consider encircling cities from rural areas. Our company is in Zhejiang, and the first consideration is Hangzhou. To open a store in a big city, we must first consider the positioning: how to open it? There is a surplus in the catering market now. Why can you make money by driving to Hangzhou? We analyzed the characteristics of catering in Hangzhou, including Shanghai and Nanjing. The catering in first-tier cities is relatively developed in China, but only a small part of leisure catering is developed. In Hangzhou, like grandma’s house and alley, the unit price of these guests is very low, and the per capita consumption is around 80 to 100 yuan, which is more suitable for young people. However, both Hangzhou and Shanghai are vacant for business guests and family gatherings who want to find a box for eating, chatting and talking. In fact, there are many clubs with boxes with a per capita consumption of 800 to 1,000, but the number of consumers at this price is very small, so we aim at a per capita consumption of about 300, which meets the requirements of ordinary business guests and the price is acceptable for ordinary family gatherings.Box-based catering. Now we have opened more than a dozen stores in Hangzhou, and the business of each one is very good, because our positioning is very accurate and we have found a blank in the market. "

Deyue’s Menu and hangzhou dishes’s "Change"

How is Deyue’s menu arranged and how often is it updated?

Deyue Hotel, which was born in Zhejiang, is mainly located in hangzhou dishes, and its rapid expansion coincides with the rise of hangzhou dishes. Mr. Dong Xinmin believes that the biggest feature of hangzhou dishes is integration and change. "If you insist on a fixed cuisine, you can open a store, but it is relatively difficult to engage in chain, because the consumer group is very wide." Deyue mainly makes seafood, and its menu is based on hangzhou dishes and blended with other cuisines. "For example, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, which are popular and taste better, will be introduced. This is a changing process, but our basic dish is hangzhou dishes. 60%~70% of the dishes in our menu are basically fixed, that is, our Deyue’s specialty dishes, and the remaining 30%~40% are changed according to local dishes in different regions and popular dishes on the market. This is the menu suitable for consumers. "

Do a good job in four aspects and do a good job in catering chain

How to manage many chain stores?

In years of actual combat, Mr. Dong Xinmin summed up four important aspects. "If you want to set up one or two stores, you can operate independently as a boss. But if you want to chain, especially a large-scale dinner like ours, if you want to do it well, I think we must pay attention to four aspects: First, your profit model. How do you make money? What kind of shop are you opening? After having a profit model, you need a management system. A store owner can take care of it. If the store is scattered in various places, it depends on the management system. The third point is the performance appraisal system, which evaluates all stores and positions. The last and most important point is the distribution system, how to divide the money well, and the structure of a share. These four aspects must be done well. Without any link, the development of this chain enterprise will be unhealthy. "

Deyue’s Garden-style Factory Environment

Colleagues are learning from each other, and business schools should rise to the occasion.

How can a successful management system be replicated and applied to chain stores scattered around the country?

This has to mention Deyue’s training system. In the expansion and operation of chain hotels, Deyue successfully copied its management system to stores through internal training. In the communication with peers, Deyue’s outstanding management system has won unanimous praise, and they all hope to learn from it. As a result, Deyue Business School, which is "importing from outside and training from inside", emerged in response to the situation and gradually developed into an independent supervision department to guide Deyue’s benign development.

"Our business management itself is very standardized. Later, the exchanges of our peers all thought that the management of our company, especially the kitchen management, was very good. One of our stores always happens to be good at this, and can give lectures and train, so we compiled four books from our years of management experience internally, and later set up a business school. Our business school has a good reputation, and other catering companies are too busy to import and need to queue up. " Deyue Business School’s external training mainly focuses on two aspects: kitchen management and performance appraisal. "This is also our strength."

Within Deyue, the role of business school is not only training, but also performance appraisal of all stores in Deyue is entrusted to business school for management. "Our inspection and management are actually two lines from the company, which is fairer. For example, in a store, all the inspection catalogues are equivalent to a person’s physical examination form, including kitchen, front office, customers and employees. We make a list of the contents that need to be examined, and then entrust it to the business school to check for us once a month. Because the business school doesn’t deal with single stores, his inspection time is not fixed. During the inspection, the business school scores and gives the problems found to our head office. According to the specific problems, our head office will send the rectification notice to the corresponding stores by the relevant departments such as personnel, kitchen administration and finance. The business school belongs to our company, but as a third-party inspection unit of the company, our catering has always been developing in a healthy and healthy way. "

The standardization demand of chain catering promotes the development of supporting industries

How to make dozens of restaurants have stable food quality and cost-effective ingredients?

Mr. Dong Xinmin said that the first consideration of all related industries in Deyue is not business opportunities, but that enterprises have their own needs in the development process. "I used to be able to manage seven or eight stores. However, after the development of more than a dozen, we feel that different chefs have different control over quality. If there is no central kitchen, the dishes will be cooked well in the stores where the chef is capable; If the chef’s ability is weaker, the quality of the dishes will be worse. Therefore, according to the needs of enterprise development, we first set up a central warehouse for centralized procurement, and then a central kitchen, all of which were set up according to different development stages of our enterprise. Our central kitchens and central warehouses have been independently accounted for by single stores until now, which is very benign, so all our central kitchens are profitable. "

Deyuede central kitchen

These supporting industries originated from demand, and they have actually become a powerful boost in Deyue’s development. In the interview, Mr. Dong Xinmin mentioned the help of Deyue’s central kitchen and central distribution to store turnover. "Through the central kitchen, the quality of some of our dishes has stabilized, and the taste can be guaranteed anywhere. More importantly, through the central kitchen, part of the labor force has been solved, so that people can do special things. For example, before there was no central kitchen, a store with sales of 50 million needed 100 people for kitchen distribution; With the central kitchen distribution, the same sales of 60 people is enough. In addition, with the centralized distribution of the central kitchen, we don’t need to worry about the store’s research and development. The boss of a single store focuses on management and operation, and the chef of a single store is responsible for cooking good dishes. The raw materials are good or bad, high or low, and there is a cost accountant to check. It is not necessary to go shopping today and visit tomorrow, as before. Seventy or eighty percent of the energy is not used to develop the store. Such specialized people do specialized things, so our stores are developing in a healthy way. " Deyue’s central warehouse also played an important role in destocking and reducing capital occupation. "We now have more than 30 stores. If each store purchases by itself, the inventory of each store will be at least 500,000 to 600,000, and the inventory of 30 stores will take up more than 10 million yuan. If all the stores are distributed through the central government, the total inventory of more than 30 stores in such a large company will be two or three million. Another is that we have a large purchase volume and can reduce the cost. "

Deyuede factory

Many people have asked Mr. Dong Xinmin to share why Deyue’s central kitchen is so successful. Mr. Dong Xinmin gave an unheard-of answer-clean government. "You have so many stores like me. If each store purchases independently, it is difficult to control this piece. For the same thing, such as vegetables, the price you buy at 6:00 is different from that at 7:00 and 8:00. It is hard to say which price is the lowest and which quality is the best, but if the central kitchen delivers it, it is a standard. Therefore, I deliver the goods through the central kitchen. In fact, the biggest benefit to the enterprise is that the enterprise is healthy and honest, and I only need to grasp one head. Otherwise, 30 stores, 30 buyers, 30 bosses, 30 chefs, and 30 heads can’t be grasped, managed, and managed. This store must be difficult to manage. Let the operator concentrate on business, and don’t consider anything else. This is my deepest experience of central kitchen and central distribution, saving money and people, and doing well is certain. Many companies have made central kitchens, but there are also many losses. I think they didn’t understand the central kitchen enough in the past. "

Ingenious pursuit of catering quality, not for the sake of making prefabricated dishes.

As a catering enterprise, how does Deyue view the hot spot of prefabricated dishes?

Mr. Dong Xinmin has a profound understanding of this industry, and has always had a clear goal, "first position, know what you want to do, and you will definitely die if you follow the trend." This is also the reason why he can lead Deyue to develop step by step. "Our prefabricated dishes actually evolved from the central kitchen. I also know that prefabricated dishes will be a development direction in the future, but we don’t really do it for the sake of prefabricated dishes."

Deyue’s display dishes

Born in catering specialty, Mr. Dong Xinmin has always had high requirements and pursuits for the quality of dishes. He believes that the overdevelopment of prefabricated dishes is actually a retrogression of Chinese food. "China has a vast territory and abundant resources. The customs and habits of each place are different, and people’s tastes and preferences are different. If it is unified with prefabricated dishes, it is actually a step backwards for Chinese food. If we really want to be a century-old shop, we should still have ingenuity, which is equivalent to saying that it is a store and a heritage. If you want to be a chain store, unless there are stores like KFC and McDonald’s, its products are actually very mechanized and single. But Chinese food is different. There are more than 20 cooking methods and thousands of raw materials, and the taste characteristics of each place are different. It is difficult to standardize all of them. So my point is that Chinese food can’t be too standardized. Chinese food for dinner, like ours, will be restricted if it reaches a certain scale, because the contents of Chinese food change greatly, the same raw materials are burned for one minute more and burned for one minute less, and the strong fire is different from the warm fire, cooking methods and so on, so everyone cooks different things. Even if I cook my own food, my mood is different and the taste is different, so it is difficult to measure it by standardization. This is also the mystery of Chinese food. Popular things mean that it is unremarkable. "

Deyue’s display dishes

In all the restaurants in Deyue, there is no need for monosodium glutamate or chicken essence, and all the dishes are hung with soup, so they are particularly delicious. "The dishes that our central kitchen has processed and sent to a single store adhere to two principles: one does not affect the taste, because I will definitely not match the food that has affected the taste, and the food hygiene must meet the standard. Under these two principles, the degree of processing in the central kitchen is determined according to the characteristics of each dish. Some dishes are prepared with raw materials, some with ingredients, some with raw materials AB, and some with finished products. "

Deyue’s display dishes

Mr. Dong Xinmin believes that catering stores can’t use prefabricated dishes just to reduce costs, cook, and be convenient and quick. Simply heating what can be sold will definitely not succeed. Without a chef’s restaurant, it will not last long.

Enter the pre-cooked vegetable track and focus on the middle and high-end to build a brand.

There have been some explosive products such as pepper and pork belly chicken. How will Deyue arrange the pre-cooked food track in the future?

As an early entry into the pre-cooked food track, Deyue not only meets the needs of its own catering stores, but also provides distribution services for other catering stores at the B end, and has launched its own pre-cooked food brand-Deweiguan. Originated from Mr. Dong Xinmin’s ingenious pursuit of taste, Deweiguan Pepper Pork Belly Chicken was widely praised as soon as it was launched, and it quickly became an explosive prefabricated dish product, and often occupied the top spot in the sales of prefabricated dishes in channels such as buying food.

Deweiguan-pepper zhuduji

"In fact, we didn’t deliberately create explosions through marketing or anything, but the market acceptance was very good. Why does our pork belly chicken sell better? This still benefits from the foundation of our Chinese food, because the core thing of pork belly chicken is soup, and because we do high-end Chinese food and beverage, all dishes are seasoned by hanging soup. We apply the hanging soup of Chinese food to the pork belly chicken, so the guests feel good after eating it, and the repurchase rate will naturally be high after eating it. Like many cheap pork belly chickens, its soup is blended with synthetic powder, which is completely different from the taste we are hanging out with old chicken and old duck bones. "

Deweiguan-pepper zhuduji

Regarding the popular track of prefabricated dishes, Mr. Dong Xinmin said that he noticed that three groups of people were cooking prefabricated dishes: the first group used to make raw materials such as fish fillets and meat birds, and they developed the raw materials into prefabricated dishes through research and development; The second batch used to make sauces, adding seasoning packets and raw materials to make prefabricated dishes, and now these two groups are mainly making prefabricated dishes; Third, an enterprise like Deyue, which has its own central kitchen, slowly changes its pre-cooked dishes. Before joining the China Food Exhibition, Deyue had never participated in any exhibition, but visited it as an audience. Mr. Dong Xinmin said that after several exhibitions, he found that "the prepared dishes now are relatively common and have a strong taste, such as pickled fish and bullfrog."

Deweiguan precast Cai products

Regarding the layout of the prepared dishes track of Deyue Group in the future, Mr. Dong Xinmin believes that the prepared dishes track is very hot now, but there is a lack of real high-quality prepared dishes. Therefore, Deyue aims at this market and will soon launch a brand-new brand positioning C-Xiaode Haocai. "At present, the popular pickled fish and boiled pork slices at the C end are actually not suitable for our company. We are not in the place of origin. First of all, raw materials have no advantage, and the price/performance ratio is definitely not as good as that of other families. Therefore, we have to make differentiation. Based on the basis of our Chinese food, we will make relatively high-end products into small boxes for 3 to 5 people."

Join hands with China Food Exhibition to expand brand influence.

Deyue has carefully considered the choice of Chinese food exhibition as its first exhibition.

"We have learned before that the China Food Exhibition is an influential exhibition. It is also the first time for us to participate in the exhibition, which is definitely good for the promotion of enterprises and brands."

De yue Cai pin exhibition area

At the China Food Exhibition, another boss who had previously opened a shop in Guangzhou made a special trip to Deqing to visit Mr. Dong Xinmin and wanted to establish cooperation. "Because he has been cooking in the United States for ten years, I especially agree with my idea and my understanding of the central kitchen after seeing this. He wants to build a central kitchen, but he doesn’t know how to do it, so he wants to cooperate with me to make a central kitchen for food distribution in America. I am not particularly familiar with the situation in the United States. Although I didn’t agree to go with him after consideration, it shows that if I want to cook Chinese food abroad, making prefabricated dishes is actually a good entry point for Chinese food to "go abroad". If you go abroad to open Chinese restaurants, it is still more difficult, but if you are doing central distribution and prefabricated dishes for Chinese food, this piece still has prospects. "

Finally, Mr. Dong Xinmin said, "After the first experience, we will rearrange the layout of the next Chinese food exhibition in Shanghai, and I am confident that we can do better!"

In the first week after the Spring Festival holiday (from February 19th to February 25th), the film market in China mainland continued its strong box office trend in the post-Spring Festival period, with the box office closing at 1.922 billion yuan that week. Among them, Article 20 earned 588 million yuan and won the box office for seven consecutive days. Pegasus 2 followed closely with 533 million yuan.

Under the unfavorable situation that the box office of Article 20 is only half that of YOLO during the Spring Festival holiday and only ranks fourth in the box office of the Spring Festival file, it can achieve a big counterattack of winning the championship for seven consecutive days in a single day, mainly because it satisfies the people’s desire for fairness and justice, arouses the emotional resonance of the audience, and has great practical significance.

Last week was the first week after this year’s Spring Festival holiday. After the Spring Festival box office blowout, the box office in China mainland declined, but it remained at a high level. According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, the box office closed at 1.922 billion yuan that week, with 43.298 million people watching movies and 2.92 million screenings.

During the 8-day Spring Festival holiday, the box office of Article 20 was only half that of YOLO, ranking fourth in the Spring Festival box office. However, with the continuous fermentation of good reputation, the attendance rate of this film continued to rise in the second half of the Spring Festival holiday. After the holiday, on February 19th, the film won the first prize in a single-day box office when it was behind schedule, and then a wave of single-day box office champions for seven consecutive days made the film the biggest winner in the "post-Spring Festival file".

The box office of Article 20 can achieve a super counterattack, mainly because of its good reputation. As a propositional composition-style film for popularizing the law, director Zhang Yimou skillfully combines comedy, family, crime, tragedy, law and other types and elements instead of preaching with a straight face. The three cases are connected together through prosecutor Han Ming played by Lei Jiayin, which makes the film not only enjoyable, but also touching people’s hearts and satisfying people’s desire for fairness and justice, which is of great social practical significance.

Pegasus 2, a comedy about racing directed by Han Han, got 533 million yuan at the box office last week, ranking second in the weekly box office list, with a cumulative box office of 3.064 billion yuan, and also ranked second in the Spring Festival file.

The box office and word-of-mouth of "Pegasus 2" greatly surpassed the first film released in 2019, which fully demonstrated the audience’s love for this film. After the word-of-mouth failure at the box office of Four Seas in the Spring Festival of 2022, director Han Han was brave after knowing shame, and made a family fun racing movie for the audience with a creative attitude of Excellence, completely following the narrative and expression techniques of commercial films.

This year’s Spring Festival file is short of The Wandering Earth and Operation Red Sea’s "Feng Shen I", a visual blockbuster that represents the level of China’s film industry. The racing scene in the second half of "Pegasus 2" is thrilling and soul-stirring, and great efforts have been made in shooting and production, which makes up for this regret, which is also an important reason for the film’s good box office reputation.

Last week, the mainland film market in China entered the "post-Spring Festival". On February 23rd and 24th, there were four new Chinese and foreign films, such as argyle Secret Agent and Still Think You Are the Best 2, respectively, but the box office performance was average, especially Still Think You Are the Best 2, which was far less than the first one.

On the other hand, he thinks: "The Spring Festival file only has seven days off, so there are more than twenty days in the first month. If we can promote the emergence of a’ post-Spring Festival file’, it should be a good thing for the China film market. I hope to alleviate the problem of uneven hot and cold in the film market to a certain extent. "

According to Rao Shuguang’s definition, this year’s "post-Spring Festival" is from February 18th to March 9th (the 29th of the first month). In addition to the four new films released last week, there will be 13 new films released at home and abroad. Which film is expected to continue the market popularity?

However, this year’s "post-Spring Festival" is still full of stamina because of Article 20 and Pegasus 2, and Hollywood blockbusters like Dune 2 may not be able to get cheap in the competition. It is the best result for everyone to make the market cake bigger.

According to the China Film News, Rao Shuguang said: "It is not only the post-Spring Festival file, but we are used to thinking that in the blank period or the low period of watching movies, we need to deeply study and create film works suitable for a certain period, so as to make the film market trend more balanced and orderly throughout the year, and it can also effectively cultivate the consumption habits of the audience and increase the frequency of watching movies."

As President Rao Shuguang said, the film market in China is still too dependent on the Spring Festival, summer vacation, National Day, May Day, New Year’s Day and other major holidays. If the box office potential of off-season and weekend stalls can be better explored, the film market in China will be more prosperous.

　　Cctv news: On July 7, the National Internet Information Office announced the Measures for the Evaluation of Data Exit Security (hereinafter referred to as the Measures). The relevant person in charge of the National Internet Information Office answered the reporter’s questions about the Measures.

　　Q: Please briefly introduce the background of the promulgation of the Measures?

　　A:In recent years, with the vigorous development of the digital economy, cross-border activities of data have become increasingly frequent, and the demand for data leaving the country by data processors has increased rapidly. At the same time, due to the differences in legal systems and protection levels in different countries and regions, the security risks of data leaving the country are correspondingly prominent. Cross-border data activities not only affect personal information rights and interests, but also relate to national security and social public interests. Many countries and regions in the world have explored the system of data cross-border security management from their own and local realities. The formulation and promulgation of the Measures is an important measure to implement the relevant provisions of the Cyber Security Law, the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. The purpose is to further standardize data exit activities, protect personal information rights and interests, safeguard national security and social public interests, and promote the safe and free flow of data across borders.

　　Q: What does the outbound data activity referred to in the Measures mean?

　　A:The data exit activities mentioned in the Measures mainly include: First, the data processors transmit and store the data collected and generated in domestic operations abroad. Second, the data collected and generated by the data processor are stored in China and can be accessed or called by overseas institutions, organizations or individuals.

　　Q: What circumstances need to declare data exit security assessment?

　　A:The "Measures" clarify four situations in which data exit security assessment should be declared: First, data processors provide important data overseas. Second, key information infrastructure operators and data processors who handle personal information of more than 1 million people provide personal information overseas. Third, since January 1 of last year, data processors who have provided 100,000 personal information or 10,000 sensitive personal information overseas have provided personal information overseas. Fourth, other situations stipulated by the national network information department that need to declare data exit security assessment.

　　Q: What are the main contents of data exit security assessment?

　　A:Data exit security assessment focuses on the risks that data exit activities may bring to national security, public interests and the legitimate rights and interests of individuals or organizations, mainly including the following matters: First, the legality, legitimacy and necessity of the purpose, scope and methods of data exit. Second, the influence of data security protection policies and regulations and network security environment in the country or region where the overseas recipient is located on the security of outbound data; Whether the data protection level of overseas recipients meets the requirements of People’s Republic of China (PRC) laws, administrative regulations and mandatory national standards. Third, the scale, scope, type and sensitivity of outbound data, and the risks of being tampered with, destroyed, leaked, lost, transferred or illegally obtained or used during and after leaving the country. Fourth, whether data security and personal information rights can be fully and effectively guaranteed. Fifth, whether the legal documents to be concluded between the data processor and the overseas receiver fully stipulate the responsibility and obligation of data security protection. Sixth, compliance with laws, administrative regulations and departmental rules of China. Seventh, other matters that the national network information department believes need to be evaluated.

　　Q: In order to standardize the data exit safety assessment activities, what specific procedures are defined in the Measures?

　　A:The "Measures" clarified the specific process of data leaving the country. First, pre-assessment. Before providing data abroad, data processors should first carry out self-assessment of data exit risks. The second is to declare the assessment. If the data exit safety assessment is met, the data processor should declare the data exit safety assessment to the national network information department through the local provincial network information department. The third is to carry out evaluation, and the national network information department will decide whether to accept the evaluation within 7 working days from the date of receiving the application materials; Complete the data exit security assessment within 45 working days from the date of issuing the written acceptance notice; If the situation is complicated or the materials need to be supplemented or corrected, it may be appropriately extended and the data processor may be informed of the expected extended time. Fourth, re-evaluation and termination of exit. If the validity period of the evaluation results expires or the re-evaluation situation stipulated in these Measures occurs within the validity period, the data processor shall re-declare the data exit safety evaluation. If the data outbound activities that have passed the evaluation no longer meet the requirements of data outbound safety management in the actual processing process, the data processor shall terminate the data outbound activities after receiving the written notice from the national network information department. If the data processor needs to continue to carry out data exit activities, it shall make rectification as required, and re-apply for evaluation after the rectification is completed.

　　Q: How to protect the legitimate rights and interests of data processors such as business secrets in the evaluation process?

　　answerThe Measures stipulate that relevant institutions and personnel involved in safety assessment shall keep confidential the state secrets, personal privacy, personal information, business secrets, confidential business information and other data they know in performing their duties according to law, and shall not disclose them or illegally provide them to others or use them illegally.

　　Q: What other provisions have been clarified in the Measures?

　　A:In addition to the above assessment contents, specific procedures, confidentiality requirements and other management measures, the Measures also clarify that the national network information department is responsible for deciding whether to accept the safety assessment, and organize relevant departments in the State Council, provincial network information departments and specialized agencies to carry out the safety assessment according to the application. The provincial network information department is responsible for receiving the application materials for data exit security assessment and completing the completeness inspection. Any organization or individual who finds that a data processor provides data overseas in violation of these measures may report to the network information department at or above the provincial level.

　　Q: When will the data processor declare the data exit security assessment?

　　A:The data processor shall declare and pass the data exit safety assessment before the data exit activities occur. In practice, it is advisable for data processors to declare data exit safety assessment before signing data exit related contracts or other legally binding documents (hereinafter referred to as legal documents) with overseas recipients. If the assessment is declared after signing the legal document, it is suggested to indicate in the legal document that this document shall take effect after passing the data exit security assessment, so as to avoid possible losses caused by failure to pass the assessment.

　　Q: What are the possible results of the exit security assessment of enterprise declaration data?

　　A:First, the declaration will not be accepted. For those that do not fall within the scope of security assessment, the data processor can carry out data exit activities through other legal channels stipulated by law after receiving the written notice that the national network information department will not accept it. The second is to pass the safety assessment. After receiving the written notice of passing the assessment, the data processor can carry out data exit activities in strict accordance with the declared items. Third, it failed the safety assessment. If the data exit safety assessment fails, the data processor shall not carry out the declared data exit activities.

　　Q: What should I do if I disagree with the evaluation results?

　　A:If the data processor disagrees with the evaluation results, it can apply to the national network information department for re-evaluation within 15 working days after receiving the evaluation results, and the re-evaluation results are final.

　　Q: How long is the validity of the results of the data exit security assessment?

　　A:The validity period of the results of data exit safety assessment is 2 years, counting from the date when the assessment results are issued. If it is necessary to continue to carry out data exit activities after the expiration of the validity period, the data processor shall re-apply for evaluation 60 working days before the expiration of the validity period.

　　Q: How to investigate the legal responsibility for violating the Measures?

　　A:The Measures clarify that if a data processor violates the provisions of these Measures, it shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Network Security Law, the Data Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law and other laws and regulations; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

　　Q: How do the three ways link up the relationship between the provision of personal information overseas, security assessment, standard contract and personal information protection certification?

　　A:The scope of application of the Measures has been made clear, and a security assessment should be declared for the data exit of personal information processors to which security assessment is applicable; The data exit situation of personal information processors outside the scope of application of the Measures can meet the conditions for cross-border provision of personal information through personal information protection certification or signing a standard contract formulated by the national network information department, so as to facilitate personal information processors to carry out data exit activities according to law.

　　Original title: AI juvenile hard technology

　　In March, 2023, a ranking released by Zeta Alpha, an American industry research institution, made many domestic artificial intelligence (AI) practitioners feel very excited. Among the top 100 cited AI papers in the world, China’s Defiance Technology, a unicorn enterprise founded by three Tsinghua "Yao Ban" students, ranked second only to the "popular star" of international artificial intelligence.

　　As early as before the artificial intelligence surge, they embarked on the journey of sending artificial intelligence technology from the laboratory to real life, and finally let China’s artificial intelligence industry stand on the world-class track.

　　Xueba juvenile "assembly number"

　　Where can I see the most Olympic gold medal winners in China? The answer may be-Defiance Science and Technology Research Institute of Jinyu Zhizao Workshop in Haidian District. Among the 500 researchers, there are more than 30 former gold medal winners of the International Informatics Olympiad, the acm international collegiate programming contest and the National Youth Informatics Olympiad.

　　The leader of the research institute is Yinqi. Inki, an 18-year-old boy, was admitted to Tsinghua University in 2006. After entering the school, he was selected to enter "Yao Ban".

　　"Half the talents in Tsinghua, half the talents in Tsinghua are in Yao Ban" —— Yao Ban, which won such praise from the outside world, is the computer science experimental class of Tsinghua School, founded by Academician Yao Qizhi, an American Turing Award winner and a world-famous computer scientist.

　　"World-class computer professionals must explore the most cutting-edge issues of global science and technology." In the class of "Yao Ban", Yinqi buried his life ambition to pursue cutting-edge technology diligently, and also met like-minded classmates Tang Wenbin and Yang Mu.

　　At that time, technological change was driving "the potential of starting a prairie fire" with "a spark" on the other side of the ocean. Facebook created by Zuckerberg has changed the traditional social model in the world, and Apple led by Jobs has launched the epoch-making electronic product iPhone.

　　Change is opportunity. In 2011, three Tsinghua "Xueba" jointly founded Defiance Technology, becoming the earliest artificial intelligence startup company in China. However, AI’s extremely attractive technical vision cannot directly bring the future to the front. Young geeks who are full of blood just broke into the society and were splashed with cold water. "Where is a technology startup company in China?" An investor left a word to Inch and Tang Wenbin, and the tone was beyond doubt.

　　The stereotype of investors was faced by China science and technology entrepreneurs more than ten years ago. At that time, most of the capital’s eager eyes on entrepreneurial projects focused on mobile Internet applications and business model innovation that could become popular overnight. There are few precedents for the success of technology entrepreneurship, and as for artificial intelligence, few people care.

　　Despite this, several young people firmly believe in their own judgment-mastering the underlying technology, they will embrace the "BRIC" that will shine sooner or later.

　　Yinqi and the team worked around the clock to train the visual recognition cloud platform with a billion-level algorithm every day through the "neuron-like deep learning algorithm" to accelerate the self-repair of the platform. Just like sea tactics, the more data systematically analyzed, the more accurate the calculation and identification results will be.

　　Only one year later, the false recognition rate of the contemptuous visual service platform Face++ has dropped to one in ten thousand, which is equivalent to growing into an 18-year-old adult’s brain in three years in the direction of visual recognition. By the second half of 2014, its recognition rate has reached 97.27%, and it has won the champion of three international evaluations, namely FDDB, 300-W and LFW, exceeding the recognition rate of Facebook of 97.25%. This is the catch-up of latecomers.

　　Patiently cross the "Death Valley"

　　In March 2016, Google’s artificial intelligence Go software AlphaGo beat the former world Go champion Li Shishi, and artificial intelligence became a household name overnight. Startups based on artificial intelligence technology have suddenly become hot. In 2017, Defiance Technology received $460 million in Series C financing.

　　However, the growing pains also follow-more players, more expensive research and development, but less technology.

　　Yinqi realized that after the early honeymoon period, the industry was entering the deep water area. The application of artificial intelligence technology will be the first to mature in the enterprise market, and the key battle for artificial intelligence start-ups to cross the "Valley of Death" will also start on this "battlefield". Attack the enterprise market!

　　However, compared with the consumer market with high outbreak and high growth, the enterprise market is a "bitter" business. No matter in the fields of finance, security or supply chain, every industry is occupied by giants who have been deeply cultivated for many years. For a group of young geeks, it is not easy to gnaw such "hard bones".

　　Shortly after entering the security industry, Tang Wenbin, as the company’s chief technology officer, found that many face recognition systems obtain information from the video shot by the front-end ordinary camera and then identify it, so it is difficult to store and transmit the video. "Why not directly make a smart cameras that can be identified immediately? It must be very valuable. "

　　Just do it. A high-end smart cameras comes out, which is not only equipped with a self-developed intelligent identification system, but also uses a sensor with leading performance, an expensive processor and even a seven-color shell.

　　However, when communicating with users, the team found that these products, which are cool enough in terms of technical indicators and appearance, did not meet the demand. Customers in an industry require power consumption within 3 watts, while their smart cameras consume nearly 18 watts. The cost of a piece of equipment of 10,000 yuan was even more unacceptable in the market environment at that time.

　　"Looking for nails with a hammer." This experience is a detour that many companies that started with technology have gone through. On the long March of technological entrepreneurship, there is never a shortcut, and the only way is to keep going.

　　Go to the nearest line of demand-

　　Standing in an e-commerce platform warehouse with a temperature of minus 10℃ and an area of 20,000 square meters, Tang Wenbin and Yinqi found that any air conditioner and heating can’t play any role here. In this environment, the total walking distance of the picking team can reach 30 to 40 kilometers at the end of the day. Is there any way to improve the efficiency of warehousing and logistics? Since then, in this large warehouse, more than 500 robots of three types of partners have been ignored and worked together, which has improved the efficiency of personnel by 40%.

　　Go to the "battlefield" where the demand for technology is the most urgent-

　　At the beginning of 2020, the epidemic broke out in COVID-19, and the emergency project team headed by Yinqi was set up on the first day of New Year’s Day. More than 100 people joined the research and development of artificial intelligence temperature measurement scheme. Ten days later, Ming Ji AI intelligent temperature measuring system was officially delivered for trial operation, and it was applied to Beijing’s major subways, supermarkets, hospitals and other scenes.

　　Nowadays, in more than 100 domestic cities, more than 10 countries and regions, ignoring urban Internet of Things solutions is always exerting wisdom for urban operation; In the smart warehouses of major enterprises, the smart pallet four-way car with small body and standard load of 1500 kg has been put into battle; Hundreds of millions of smart phones around the world have used the contemptuous device unlocking and computational photography solutions …

　　The technical vision of "using artificial intelligence to benefit the public" of young geeks 12 years ago has blossomed in fields, factories, mines, schools and communities.

　　Embrace the wave of hard technology entrepreneurship

　　An armored robot gradually learned human actions, language, creativity and even emotions in the process of long-term contact with human beings, and was finally recognized by human beings and integrated into human society. The science fiction film Machine Butler released in 1999 showed people the future life of robots and human beings. The intelligent and warm robots in the film are now accelerating into reality.

　　Yinqi said with emotion: "Technological changes will definitely roll forward, whether you join or not. If it can’t lead in core technology, China’s AI enterprises will gradually lose their position in global competition. "

　　On the road of technological exploration, he is not alone with contempt.

　　In 2014, Dai Wenyuan, who won the world championship in the ACM acm international collegiate programming contest, known as the "Computer Olympics Competition", and his mentor Professor Yang Qiang established the fourth paradigm. In 2016, Lou Tiancheng, who graduated from "Yao Ban" like Yinqi and was called "the leader of the building" by Tsinghua students because of his superior programming ability, and Peng Jun set up an autonomous driving company Xiaoma Zhixing. In the same year, Chen Tianshi and Chen Yunji, two brothers who graduated from the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, founded the CAMBRIAN artificial intelligence chip company.

　　Yinqi, Chen Tianshi, Lou Tiancheng, Dai Wenyuan … In Beijing, the new generation of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs have emerged, and the wave of hard technology represented by artificial intelligence has also swept across the country with Beijing as the center. At present, Beijing, which has gathered nearly 30% of artificial intelligence enterprises in the country, has become a veritable "AI first city".

　　The innovation spiral of hard technology touches more than artificial intelligence. Relevant persons in charge of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Zhongguancun Management Committee observed that in the fields of high-tech and cutting-edge technologies such as new materials, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and precision medical care, a large number of technology entrepreneurs emerged, and a number of entrepreneurial enterprises with extremely high technological competitiveness and wide market application prospects rose strongly. On the road of exploring the mystery of the frontier of science and technology, the new generation of entrepreneurs will have more and more colleagues.

　　Beijing becomes the first city of AI.

　　By October 2022, there were 1,048 artificial intelligence core enterprises in Beijing, accounting for 29% of the total number of artificial intelligence enterprises in China, ranking first in the country, and more than 30 artificial intelligence unicorn enterprises have been born.

　　Twenty-four enterprises in China have been approved to build a new generation of national artificial intelligence open innovation platform, of which 10 enterprises are headquartered in Beijing.

　　There are more than 40,000 core technical talents in the field of artificial intelligence in Beijing, accounting for 60% of the country; The number of artificial intelligence papers published ranks first in the country; Among the top 100 institutions in the world in terms of the number of patents granted, there are 30 Beijing-based institutions.

　　The two major industries, medical health and information technology, are becoming the "twin engines" of Beijing’s sophisticated economy under the cross-integration of artificial intelligence platform technology. In 2022, the related output value of Beijing artificial intelligence industry is estimated to be about 227 billion yuan.

　　Hard technology is written into the five-year plan

　　On March 12, 2021, the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Outline of Long-term Goals in 2035 was officially released, in which it was specifically mentioned that it was necessary to enhance the characteristics of "hard technology" in science and technology innovation board and enhance the function of Growth Enterprise Market in serving growth-oriented innovative and entrepreneurial enterprises.

　　In November, 2021, the Plan for the Construction of Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period also proposed to carry out pilot projects of equity investment and venture capital share transfer in depth to guide early investment, hard technology investment and long-term investment; Support the development of market-oriented and specialized hard technology incubators, promote the verification and maturation of scientific and technological achievements, and quickly realize transformation and industrialization.

　　Hard technology refers to the key core technology that needs long-term R&D investment, has a high technical threshold, is difficult to be copied and imitated, and has a significant supporting role for economic and social development. Hard technology is at the high end of the global value chain, which has the characteristics of high intellectual property barriers, high capital investment, high information intensity, high added value of products and high industrial control, and is an important symbol to measure a country’s core competitiveness. At present, the representative fields of hard technology include photoelectric chips, artificial intelligence, aerospace, biotechnology, information technology, new materials, new energy, intelligent manufacturing and so on.(Sun Qiru)

　　What was the most appetizing movie in China in 2002? The answer is definitely Zhang Yimou’s martial arts giant "Hero", which is believed to be known by everyone on earth. Because since last year’s "Hero" started shooting, the media all over the country have never stopped. Every time Zhang Yimou walks with his crew, there are reporters chasing him. Although all kinds of tricks have been exhausted, I still can’t get any information from the hero. The reporters’ interviews have become meaningless idolize, and even I can only report to the readers that I saw Maggie Cheung or Zhang Ziyi coming out of which elevator. Can’t help it, who let it be Zhang Yimou’s work? Such a big gold-lettered signboard is hanging there, can it be done without chasing it? Except for the symbolic premiere of Hero in Shenzhen for catching the last bus of the Oscar, those who had their ID cards checked were lucky enough to watch the complete film, and everyone, including the manager of the cinema company and the media, only saw the promo for 2 minutes and 30 seconds at most.

　　Hero, like a thief-proof version, is well-intentioned, but its arrogance is here. When it comes to Hero, I’m sure I know the plot vaguely, but the names of the protagonists, such as Nameless, Flying Snow and Broken Sword, have long been known by heart. What kind of emotional entanglements did Zhang Ziyi have with Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung in the play? Is Jet Li’s namelessness a true chivalrous man like Zhang Yimou’s? When "Hero" premiered in three cities by charter flight, when the VCD copyright of "Hero" sold for a sky-high price of 17.8 million, and so on, which proved that "Hero" was not overwhelming with news, what we wanted most was to sit in the cinema one day earlier and watch "Hero" in a down-to-earth way. I also wish Zhang Yimou good luck at the Oscars.
