　　In order to adapt to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in China’s real estate market has undergone major changes, recently, many places and departments have issued intensive documents to adjust and optimize real estate policies in a timely manner, which will better meet the rigid and improved housing needs of residents, and will also have a favorable impact on expanding consumption, stimulating investment and stabilizing economic growth.

　　On August 30th, Guangzhou City and Shenzhen City of Guangdong Province successively announced the implementation of the policy of "recognizing houses but not loans". On September 1, Shanghai and Beijing also announced the implementation of this policy.

　　On August 31st, the People’s Bank of China and the State Financial Supervision and Administration jointly issued a notice, which unified the minimum down payment ratio of the first and second sets of commercial personal housing loans to be no less than 20% and 30%. At the same time, reduce the interest rate of the first home loan in stock.

　　Experts pointed out that in recent days, many departments have issued intensive documents, adjusted and optimized real estate policies in a timely manner, and released positive signals to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　The policy plays a "combination boxing" to better meet the rigid and improved housing needs of residents.

　　The policy of "recognizing the house but not the loan" is clear. When households (including borrowers, spouses and minor children) apply for loans to buy commercial housing, if family members do not have a complete set of housing in the local name, banking financial institutions will implement the housing credit policy according to the first set of housing, regardless of whether they have used loans to buy housing.

　　"For families who need to change rooms, in ‘ Admit the house but not the loan ’ Under the policy, houses can be exchanged at a lower down payment ratio and a more favorable loan interest rate, and the preferential period of personal income tax rebate for residents to purchase houses has also been extended. These policies will help reduce the cost of buying houses and release the demand for changing houses. " Pu Zhan, deputy director of the Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, introduced.

　　Jiang Nan has worked in Guangzhou for more than 10 years. In 2015, just before she got married, she first bought a wedding room in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, and rented it out after simple decoration, while she rented a house in Guangzhou. In the past two years, seeing that the children have reached the age of going to school, the desire of Jiang Nan and his wife to buy a suite in Guangzhou has become stronger and stronger.

　　"I saw more than a dozen sets of second-hand houses, and I was satisfied. Almost all of them cost more than 6 million yuan. Before that suite in Foshan also had a loan, now I want to buy this suite, with a down payment of 40% and a loan interest rate of 4.8%. " Jiang Nan said that according to the new policy of "recognizing the house and not recognizing the loan", the down payment is only 30%, and the down payment is less than 10%, which is more than 600,000 yuan; Moreover, the loan interest rate enjoys 4.2% of the first suite interest rate, and the monthly supply burden can also be reduced a lot.

　　Ms. Huang, a citizen of Shenzhen, also expressed a similar idea: "We have always wanted to change a bigger house and improve our living conditions. However, if it is identified as a second suite, the down payment ratio is high and it is difficult to bear. After the introduction of the New Deal, the pressure is much smaller. "

　　Gao Yuan, president of Beijing Chain Home Research Institute, believes that "recognizing houses but not loans" mainly benefits new citizens and improved groups in Beijing. In terms of new citizens, it is more common that they have no house in Beijing, but they have had a credit record of buying a house in other places. Under the original standard, they have to pay 60% (ordinary house) or 80% (non-ordinary house) down payment for buying a house in Beijing; In terms of improved groups, it is beneficial to "sell one and buy one" to improve the replacement groups. Due to factors such as family structure changes, child care and old-age care, nearly 70% of buyers in the current Beijing residential market belong to improved demand.

　　What is the market reaction after the introduction of policies such as "recognizing houses but not loans"? Lou Chunlei, manager of an active regional store in Chaoyang District, Beijing Chain Home, told reporters that after Beijing announced the policy, we received many customers’ consultation calls one after another. In the first two months, the number of online consultations was generally more than 20, and this weekend it increased to more than 60, and the number of regional listings was also active. "The price of the target room type of our improved customers is mostly between 8 million yuan and 10 million yuan. Before looking at the house, considering that 80% of the down payment for the second suite was hesitant, now the policy has landed, and many customers have chosen to list the property to obtain the first set of qualifications. " Yan Chunlei said.

　　According to the data provided by RealData, the average daily turnover of second-hand houses in Guangzhou and Shenzhen increased by 25% and 70% respectively from August 30 to 31, compared with last week (August 21 to 27), and the number of customers taking care of them also increased rapidly.

　　Not only the policy of "recognizing the house but not the loan", but also the policies of adjusting and optimizing differentiated housing credit and reducing the interest rate of the first home loan in stock will also help to better meet the demand for rigid and improved housing.

　　According to the relevant persons in charge of the People’s Bank of China and the General Administration of Financial Supervision, the key points of the adjustment and optimization of differentiated housing credit policy include two aspects: First, unify the lower limit of the national minimum down payment ratio policy for commercial individual housing loans. No longer distinguish between cities that implement "restricted purchases" and cities that do not implement "restricted purchases", and the lower limit of the minimum down payment ratio of commercial personal housing loans for the first home and the second home is unified to not less than 20% and 30%. The second is to adjust the lower limit of the second set of housing interest rate policy to not less than the loan market quotation rate (LPR) of the corresponding term plus 20 basis points. The lower limit of the first set of housing interest rate policy is still not less than the corresponding period LPR minus 20 basis points. All localities can independently determine the minimum down payment ratio and the lower interest rate limit of the first and second houses within their jurisdiction according to the principle of city-specific policies and the local real estate market situation and regulatory needs.

　　The real estate market as a whole has turned into a buyer’s market where supply exceeds demand.

　　The real estate chain is long and involves a wide range, which can be said to lead the whole body.

　　In the second quarter of this year, affected by the macro-environment, residents’ ability and willingness to buy houses declined, and the recovery of buying houses as a bulk consumption lagged behind, and the growth rate of real estate market turnover slowed down. From January to July, the sales area of commercial housing was 665.63 million square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 6.5%; The newly started housing area was 569.69 million square meters, down by 24.5%.

　　On July 24th, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting and pointed out that it is necessary to effectively prevent and resolve risks in key areas, adapt to the new situation that the supply and demand relationship in China’s real estate market has undergone major changes, adjust and optimize real estate policies in a timely manner, and make good use of the policy toolbox to better meet the rigid and improved housing needs of residents and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　Yu Xiaofen, Dean of China Institute of Housing and Real Estate, Zhejiang University of Technology, analyzed that the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has undergone major changes, mainly in three aspects: First, it has shifted from the seller’s market to the buyer’s market. After more than 20 years of large-scale development, the per capita housing construction area of urban residents in China has exceeded 41 square meters in 2022. Due to the negative growth of superimposed population and the middle and late stage of urbanization, the market as a whole has turned into a buyer’s market with oversupply, especially in small and medium-sized cities, where the inventory of commercial housing is large and the cycle of de-melting is long. The second is to shift from an incremental market to a stock-based market. In many cities, the growth rate of stock housing transactions is faster than that of new commercial housing sales, and the turnover of second-hand houses in some cities has exceeded that of new houses. Third, the proportion of existing home sales has steadily increased from auction sales to existing home sales.

　　"Adapting to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in China’s real estate market has undergone major changes, the implementation of a series of policies and measures in recent days can not only better meet the rigid and improving needs of residents, but also have great significance for expanding consumption, stimulating investment and stabilizing economic growth." Yan Xiaofen believes.

　　Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian, said that according to relevant calculations, the average decline in the interest rate of the first home loan was about 80 basis points. Take the stock mortgage with a term of 1 million yuan, 25 years and the original interest rate of 5.1% as an example. Assuming that the mortgage interest rate is reduced to 4.3%, the borrower’s repayment expenditure can be saved by more than 5,000 yuan per year, which will help reduce the housing consumption burden and increase the consumption and investment capacity of residents.

　　To promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, we need to be patient in many ways.

　　Experts interviewed said that the current timely adjustment and optimization of real estate policies has opened the market expectation window. In the short term, just-needed and improved demand will be concentrated in the market, and the market transaction volume may increase significantly before the end of the year. However, as a whole, the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has changed greatly, and it is greatly influenced by the macro environment. To look at the development of the real estate market with a more rational attitude, we must have both confidence and patience.

　　"When the overall development of the market slows down, the positive side will be particularly noticeable. For example, some markets will be more resilient and new business opportunities will emerge." Yu Liang, Chairman of Vanke’s Board of Directors, believes that the urbanization rate in China is about 65% at present, and it is expected to reach 70% in 2030, and the urban population will increase to about 980 million. According to the construction experience, it is conservatively estimated that the newly started real estate area of 1 billion to 1.2 billion square meters in the future is guaranteed.

　　Yu Liang said that according to the experience of London, Tokyo and other cities, the population will continue to concentrate in cities that can create jobs. Even after the market is fully mature, there will still be a large number of urban renewal projects in the central city to enhance the development vitality of traditional areas and meet the needs of job-residence balance. In addition, the construction of affordable rental housing, the renovation of villages in cities, and the construction and operation of real estate agents will also be important business growth areas in the future.

　　"The current policy is already exerting strength. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, as the economic operation continues to improve and the expectations for the future gradually stabilize, the market will return to a healthy and reasonable level." Yu Liang said.

　　Yan Xiaofen believes that in the medium and long term, to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, we need to focus on both supply and demand: stabilize the market scale by accelerating the start of urban renewal and urban village transformation; By lowering the mortgage interest rate and expanding the coverage of housing provident fund, we will strive to improve the housing consumption capacity, relax the purchase restriction in big cities or districts where the relationship between housing supply and demand has undergone major changes, and stabilize market demand; By comprehensively promoting the "mortgage transfer" of second-hand houses, reducing transaction deed tax and reasonably reducing real estate agency fees, we will encourage trade-in and promote a virtuous circle of the market; Support high-quality state-owned housing enterprises and high-quality private housing enterprises equally, appropriately relax the restrictions on development conditions and stabilize real estate enterprises.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that we will continue to focus on increasing confidence, preventing risks and promoting transformation to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. Because of the city’s policy and precise policy, we will vigorously support the demand for rigid and improved housing, solidly promote the work of ensuring the people’s livelihood and stability, resolve the risk of corporate capital chain breakage, strive to improve quality, build a good house, rectify the order of the real estate market, and let the people buy houses and rent houses with confidence.

Cctv news At that time, Wang Yanliang wanted to be a soldier, but failed. In 2003, at the age of 20, he went out of the mountains to Beijing, entered a security company and became an ordinary security guard. Wearing the newly issued security uniform, Wang Yanliang, who is full of energy, felt full of "soldiers" and took the first shift, secretly vowing to make achievements and realize his dreams!

But the reality is "too skinny." Just a few days after I started my job, I met such a thing at the gate of the driving school:

"hello! The unit has regulations. Please show your valid certificate, work permit or student ID before entering or leaving the unit. Thank you for your cooperation! "

"What certificate is not certificate! No, the coach knows me. " It was a couple who wanted to enter the driving school. The man shouted loudly and forced his way in with his girlfriend, and was politely stopped by Wang Yanliang again and again.

"Security air? I really think I am an armed police! " Women are cynical.

When this was said, Wang Yanliang seemed to be drenched with a pot of cold water, and suddenly woke up-the security guard is not a soldier! He wanted to take off his uniform and leave immediately. Afterwards, leaders and colleagues repeatedly persuaded him that there is no distinction between high and low work, and security work is related to one party’s peace and great responsibility, so he was a little more practical.

In the future, Wang Yanliang gradually understood this truth: "If you want others to look up to it, you must first look up to your own work and make achievements in a down-to-earth manner."

Engaged in security work for more than ten years, Wang Yanliang led security personnel to deal with 364 cases of mass disputes and fights, put out more than 10 fires, saved more than 8 million yuan in economic losses of client units and saved three lives. "Security and soldiers are really different. Soldiers have discipline, and they don’t usually stay with ordinary people. Security is different. We must always be around the people and keep one side safe. " Wang Yanliang began to feel proud of his work.

He declined the reward from the rescuer, refused to be the security captain of the client unit, and wanted to be a good security guard. My girlfriend of five years didn’t understand and broke up with him. He said to his ex-girlfriend with tears in his eyes, "Yan Liang, you are a good man, but I really can’t see any hope for this job you are concentrating on. There are still several people in this society who don’t consider reality like you!"

"Wang Yanliang is a hero who doesn’t wear police uniforms." His ex-girlfriend didn’t understand him, the clients he served understood him, and the people he helped thanked him.

Once on a bus, after bravely fighting a theft gang and helping the female owner successfully recover the gold necklace, this scene appeared:

The female passenger said excitedly, "thank you, young man, you are really a good man!" " At this time, an old man next to him asked, "What do you do, young man?" Wang Yanliang replied: "Security." The car was quiet for a moment, followed by applause. This applause made Wang Yanliang once again feel the glory of the security profession.

Security guards are not soldiers, but they are equally glorious! Wang Yanliang has won the third-class merit six times and won three awards. He is the "Excellent Security Officer of the Capital" of Beijing Public Security Bureau, the "Model Worker of Beijing" in 2015, and the "Fourth National Excellent Security Officer" awarded by the Ministry of Public Security, the National Federation of Trade Unions and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League in 2016. Let’s say thank you to Wang Yanliang, the "desperate Wang Saburo" who is persistent in the security post!

From 1984 to 1986, China experienced a round of Japanese automobile import peak, during which three types of Japanese off-road vehicles were imported; Toyota Land Cruiser LC60, Nissan Toure and Mitsubishi Pajero. Among the three off-road vehicles, Mitsubishi Pajero has a higher exposure, which is the first generation product of Mitsubishi Pajero.

From 1953 to 1973, Mitsubishi has been manufacturing Jeep CJ3 off-road vehicle (introducing production license). From the production of this vehicle, Mitsubishi Motors has accumulated experience and technology, and has the technical strength to develop off-road vehicles with better performance. The first prototype of a brand-new off-road vehicle was launched in 1973, and the second prototype was launched in 1978. In 1982, the first generation Pajero came out. At first, there were only three-door models with short wheelbase. In 1983, Mitsubishi introduced its five-door model with long wheelbase, and the model sold in the United States was called Montero.

Mitsubishi Pajero has got rid of the commercial compartment design of the previous off-road vehicle, and the comfort of the compartment has improved a lot, so it has completely changed from the previous off-road vehicle in function, and some private SUVs taste. The chassis design is also brand-new, giving up the leaf spring and front hard axle suspension design of Jeep CJ3, and using the front suspension design of double wishbone plus torsion bar and anti-roll bar, which is not only suitable for high-intensity off-road but also for highway high-speed driving.

In terms of power, there are three (2.0, 2.0T and 2.6) four-cylinder gasoline engines and three (2.3, 2.3 turbocharged and 2.5 turbocharged) four-cylinder diesel engines. In 1987, Mitsubishi launched a flagship model of Pajero with more luxurious configuration. In 1988, its power was upgraded to a 104 kW 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine (6G72), which became From 1982 to 1990, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation manufactured 300,000 first-generation Pajeros. Because of Pajero’s success, Mercedes-Benz was invited to talk about cooperation. At that time, Mercedes-Benz did not have an SUV with high taste.

Mitsubishi Pajero, imported from China in 1980s, is widely used in the western region. It is much better than GAZ 69 and BJ212 used in the western region before, and it has more face when going out for business. Compared with the Toyota Land Cruiser introduced at the same time, it is not fast and comfortable. However, after several years of use in the western region, it showed that its reliability and durability were not as good as that of Toyota Cruiser (at that time, there were few roads in the western region and the road conditions were very poor. In Tibet, the failure rate increased obviously after 80,000 kilometers in Pajero, but there was no problem when the land cruiser was 120,000 kilometers). After 1990s, the field in western China was dominated by Toyota Land Cruisers.

Recently, two magpies in Yantai, Shandong Province spent more than 20 days nesting outside the residents’ windows, and the process was recorded by video. The video photographed two magpies taking local materials, picking up branches and mud every day, and laying eggs and brooding after diligently nesting. According to the parties concerned, there is a basket for holding vegetables in security window outside their kitchen. Two magpies used local materials and shared it for more than 20 days to build their nests.

　　Recently, cold air strikes frequently, the north is getting colder and colder, and the south is also "autumn overnight". On weekends this week, the lowest temperature in Wuhan may come to single digits, only 9℃! Imagine that in just a few days, from summer to autumn, and then to winter, the cold air in season is "delivered" one after another. It is really a season, from short sleeves to windbreakers to cotton-padded clothes, and friends have to change their clothes quickly.

　　However, as the saying goes, "Spring covers autumn, and no miscellaneous diseases are born". Proper freezing will help the body gradually adapt to the cold and improve the body’s disease resistance. Can everyone "freeze in autumn"? When is the best time to add clothes? Xiao Qiming, chief physician of respiratory medicine of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Sun Qiwei, deputy chief physician of the Center for Prevention of Diseases of Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Wang Xiao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology of Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, will teach you to get cold scientifically without getting sick.

　　Why is freezing healthier in autumn?

　　Spring is born, summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage, and man and nature are integrated. When I go to Qiu Lai in summer, the sun’s spirit gradually converges and the temperature gradually drops, which is a transitional stage from hot to cold. Although the temperature begins to drop, if you put on a thick cotton-padded coat too early, you will not be able to exercise against cold air, which will reduce your cold-proof ability and is not conducive to the self-regulation of human resistance. In the really cold season, once the nose and trachea are attacked by cold air, the blood vessels inside shrink because they can’t resist, which reduces the blood flow and weakens the antibacterial ability. Bacteria hiding in the nose or trachea take the opportunity to move, causing symptoms such as cough, sneezing, runny nose and fever, which makes people sick.

　　Therefore, it is necessary to freeze properly in autumn and gradually improve the body’s ability to resist cold and disease. This is a subtle exercise that can improve people’s physique invisibly. On the other hand, autumn is the season of nourishing yin. If you wear too much clothes and cover them too hot, it will encourage yang spirit, which is not good for maintaining the balance of yin and yang, and will also cause diseases.

　　Therefore, when the temperature is a little cold in autumn, don’t add clothes too early and too much, so that your body will feel a little cold, gradually adapt to the cold, improve your disease resistance, and it is healthy to "freeze" your body properly.

　　Boundary of autumn freezing temperature: 15℃

　　Autumn freezing is good for health, but when there is strong cold air activity and the temperature drops sharply, we should add clothes to keep warm in time and properly. At this time, if we insist on "autumn freezing" blindly, it will be counterproductive. China has a vast territory, and the process of entering autumn is inconsistent in different places. Under what circumstances should we add clothes?

　　The answer given by experts is: Take 15℃ as the standard, if the temperature drops below 15℃ in autumn and lasts for more than two weeks, you can put on clothes for autumn and winter.

　　In addition, scientific autumn freezing has three principles:

　　When the temperature drops slightly, healthy people can not wear thick clothes immediately, but add clothes and pants as late as possible or gradually to enhance their adaptability to the temperature drop.

　　Old people, children or people who are physically weak should not blindly pursue autumn freezing, but should "stop the heat" to avoid the hot air spreading outside, the yang spreading outside and the wind evil entering the body.

　　When the temperature drops sharply, you should not blindly pursue autumn freezing, otherwise you will get sick easily.

　　Four types of people can’t stand the autumn freeze.

　　Autumn freezing is not suitable for everyone. The following groups of people are more vulnerable to cold than the average person. It is best to add clothes in time according to the temperature and physical feeling.

　　A frail old man

　　There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in season change, which is the high incidence season of upper respiratory tract infections such as influenza. The respiratory muscles, diaphragm and ligaments of the elderly are atrophied, the elasticity of lungs and trachea is weakened, and the respiratory function is reduced. It is easier to catch a cold if clothes are not added in time.

　　Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

　　After being stimulated by cold, the capillaries of the whole body contract, the peripheral resistance of blood circulation increases, and the blood pressure is higher than that in summer. Cold stimulation will make the myocardial ischemia and hypoxia that have already been diseased more serious. People with cardiovascular diseases should add coats in time to keep their chests warm to avoid myocardial infarction; In the past, elderly people with multiple cerebral infarction, cerebrovascular malformation or stenosis should pay attention to keeping their heads warm to avoid aggravating or inducing stroke.

　　Patients with rheumatism or rheumatoid diseases

　　Arthritis patients often feel pain and heaviness in their legs when the weather is cold. It is suggested to wear warm knee pads on their legs to ensure the stability of the knee joint and promote blood circulation.

　　diabetic

　　Diabetic patients have poor local blood supply, and their blood vessels are stimulated by cold air, which is prone to vasospasm, further reducing the blood supply to muscle tissue and aggravating local numbness of hands and feet and low back pain. When the weather changes greatly, the elderly with "three highs" should strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid, and pay attention to the changes of their condition at any time.

　　Don’t freeze these parts of your body.

　　Head and neck: There are abundant nerves and capillaries in the head and neck. Autumn wind attacks easily lead to vasoconstriction of the head and neck, which is not conducive to blood supply to the brain, and it is also easy to cause a cold with lung symptoms.

　　Shoulder: The tissues around the shoulder joint are relatively fragile. After a long cold, it is easy to be attacked by "wind, cold and dampness", which will cause shoulder pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scapulohumeral periarthritis is caused by cold in the shoulder, and the chest and shoulder joints are stiff after illness, which seems to be frozen, so it is called "frozen shoulder" and "shoulder coagulation". Sometimes the pain will spread to the arms and hands, and even the pain is unbearable.

　　Abdomen: There are many organs in the abdomen, and many important meridians pass through, such as spleen and stomach meridians and liver and kidney meridians. Renchong and Du meridians start in the abdominal cavity. Cold and cold qi is also easy to invade the human body from the abdomen. Being cold here will cause stagnation of qi and blood in the abdominal meridians, such as stimulating the intestine and causing diarrhea; People with a history of stomach trouble are prone to stomach pain; Women who catch cold in the lower abdomen are easy to induce dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. The belly button part is the longevity hole of the human body, so it should be protected.

　　Feet: "Cold comes from the feet", the feet are the parts of the whole body that are most afraid of cold, and the meridians of the kidney and spleen and stomach all originate from the feet. However, because the feet are farthest from the heart, the blood flows the longest "distance". If the feet are cold, the blood flow will be stagnant, and the blood supply in the whole body will be insufficient, which will easily cause the capillaries in the relevant parts to contract, and the pathogenic factors will easily take advantage of it to enter the organ function and then be damaged. Soaking feet with hot water can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, generally at a water temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius (not hot).

　　Excessive fear of cold

　　It’s the body calling for help.

　　Our bodies can quickly perceive the warmth and coldness of the surrounding environment, and protect our bodies from physical injuries caused by excessive cold and overheating. If you are more afraid of the cold than the average person, or you are still afraid of the cold when you wear a lot of clothes, it may be that your body is "calling for help".

　　The stomach is afraid of cold — — cold syndrome of the stomach

　　Eating a little cold food and drinking some green tea will make you feel bloating and stomachache, which may be related to overeating and getting cold in the stomach. If it happens repeatedly, it may be a sign of spleen and stomach weakness and yang deficiency.

　　Tips: Try to choose ingredients that are mild in taste and beneficial to qi, such as longan meat, medlar, jujube, etc., and avoid cold, wet and greasy foods.

　　Legs are afraid of cold — — chronic rheumatism in the leg

　　In addition to being affected by cold and humid environment, "old cold legs" have a common cause — — Joint, ligament and muscle strain are mostly caused by long-term physical labor, improper walking posture, aging and other reasons.

　　Tips: Moxibustion can be applied to the points around the knee joint, such as Zusanli and Dubi, every time for 5-mdash; Ten minutes.

　　The waist is afraid of cold — — Strain or disc herniation

　　Cold and dampness blocking the waist can lead to cold waist. Waist injury, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, etc., lead to the obstruction of yang qi operation, but also show that the waist is afraid of cold.

　　Tips: Lumbago can be used for hot compress on the waist; Morning is the time when the body’s yang is gradually filled with the weather, which can increase outdoor activities; You can practice Wuqinxi, Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan at ordinary times.

　　Cold hands and feet — — Yang deficiency

　　Cold hands and feet are more common in people who have been dieting for a long time or have bad eating habits, which is mainly caused by the lack of nutrients and the lack of material basis for yang. If you don’t pay attention to it, your physical fitness will further decline, leading to more serious problems.

　　Tips: Chinese medicine believes that "movement leads to yang". Usually, you should pay attention to exercise, get more sunshine, and eat regularly for three meals a day. You can add 15 grams of safflower and 30 grams of Artemisia argyi to soak your feet before going to bed to promote blood circulation and dispel cold.

　　Comprehensive Life Times and The Paper reported.

Compared with the indiscriminate bombing of Hollywood imported films in the mainland film market, sporadic Chinese films that occasionally "go out" have not received much attention in North America, which directly leads to the unsatisfactory or even poor box office performance of most films. However, since 2010, the pace of Chinese films going abroad has obviously accelerated, and the number of films appearing in North American cinemas has increased year by year, reaching a record 22 this year. However, it is worth noting that quantitative change has not contributed to qualitative change, and the status of Chinese films in North America has not been improved much, and their performance has not improved much — — In 2013, Chinese export films were still "looking for feelings". (Editor’s Note: Tai Chi Xia and shanghai calling are jointly produced by China and the United States; The box office list data in this foreign language does not take inflation into account)

Among them, movies with good box office in China, such as "Beijing meets Seattle" and "Search", have suffered from waterloo in the United States. It is decided that the North American box office performance of "Beijing meets Seattle" of the American Empire State Building is only 0.008% of the domestic box office; "Big shot" is the worst result of maintaining the North American box office of Chinese films for many years. "Beijing meets Seattle" and "Search" are all hard to shake their position … …

Beijing meets Seattle’s North American box office? You have to jump from the Empire State Building to "find the feeling"

Although the film shows the American image of a paradise on earth, the height of the Empire State Building can’t prevent the film from becoming a bottomless black hole at the North American box office. Compared with the film’s 500 million yuan in China, its box office in the North American market is like a "free fall" from the Empire State Building. "Beijing Meets Seattle" was released in North American cinemas on November 8th. By the time the film went offline on the 21st, it only earned $6,579, which set a new record for the North American distributor Huashi Company to release domestic films in North America.

North American poster of "Beijing meets Seattle"

North American box office of Chinese export films

"Beijing meets Seattle" is the most unsuccessful domestic film that Chinese lion introduced into the North American market. Among the 29 films that China Lion Company introduced into the North American market, this film is the only one with a box office not exceeding 10,000. In contrast, If You Are the One 2 and 1942 were relatively gratifying at the box office in North America through China Lion. The former reached $426,894, while the latter also recorded $312,954.

Although most of the location of Beijing meets Seattle was shot in Seattle, USA; Although most American media spoke highly of "Beijing meets Seattle", they thought that "it is different from common romantic comedies and restores the real life of American immigrants". Although director Xue Xiaolu personally attended the film’s premiere in Los Angeles … … But judging from the box office, the American audience didn’t care about the kindness of friends in China. The only cinema in Seattle that showed the film hastily took it off the production line after a week … …

The film’s three-day premiere in North America was $3,430, with an average box office income of 1,143 yuan, ranking 80 th in the box office list of 109 films released in North America during the same period. Its first week opened at the box office (11.8— — 11.14) was only $5,371, and the average box office income of a single museum was $1,790, and the box office ranking slipped to 83rd place. It seems that American cinema companies are not very interested in such "small fresh" romantic films as "Beijing meets Seattle", which were only shown in three cinemas in Seattle, Los Angeles and new york in the early stage. To make matters worse, on November 15th, the film was released in Seattle and new york cinemas … … The box office of a cinema in Los Angeles alone was unsustainable after the 15th. 15th — — On the 17th, the film’s three-day box office revenue was only $924; During the period from 15th to 21st, the revenue of all cinemas and single libraries in this film was $1,208 … …

The North American box office achievement of Finding Mr.Right … …

Up to now, in the list of 656 movies with box office income released in North America in the past year, Beijing Meets Seattle ranks 574th at the box office. Since 1980, the United States has introduced 1579 foreign language films. In this box office list of foreign language films in North America, "Beijing meets Seattle" is located at 1411. On December 8, 2000, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the best Oscar foreign language film jointly produced by China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States, appeared in North America. The film finally fought in the cinema for nearly seven months and ended with a record $128 million. So far, it still holds the title of the highest-selling foreign language film in North America — — It can be said that this is the most important "first" for Chinese films in Hollywood. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is far behind Beautiful Life with a box office of 128 million dollars. The latter grossed nearly $57.6 million, less than half of the former. The hero directed by Zhang Yimou followed closely, with a box office score of $53.71 million ranking third in the list of foreign language films in North America.

Nothing is worse, only the worst, and "Big shot" is not without feeling.

Of course, "Beijing meets Seattle" is not the most unsuccessful Chinese film released in North America. Chen Kaige’s "Search" and Xiaogang Feng’s "Big Shot" have even worse box office results in North American cinemas. Search, which was delayed for 10 months, earned $1,067 at the box office in North America this year, almost breaking the embarrassing record of the lowest box office in North America for Chinese films held by Big Shot — — 820 dollars.

Up to now, a total of 656 new films have entered the North American cinema this year. Including Private Custom, which just appeared on the 20th, the number of Chinese films has reached 22, which is also higher than last year (20), creating a new high. In terms of box office revenue, the total box office of all new films was 9.613 billion US dollars, of which 7,639,800 were Chinese films. Although it rose by more than 60% compared with last year in terms of books, we should know that only "The Grand Master" contributed 6.595 million. Apart from The Master, which supports the facade, only four films, Drug War, Private Order (which is being released and the box office will increase), Destiny and Tai Chi Xia, barely passed the box office line of 100,000.

On the other hand, last year, as many as 10 films crossed the threshold of 100,000, mainly distributed in the range of 200,000-300,000, and the relatively average performance was much better than the generally bleak scene of Chinese films this year.

Analysis of Chinese film distributors: although Chinese lions are single-minded, their output is limited

Huashi is a "foreign monk" who devotes himself to making Chinese films distributed in North America. Founded in October 2010, Huashi has successively released two Xiaogang Feng masterpieces, Tangshan Earthquake and If You Are the One 2. In particular, the latter finally earned nearly 430,000 US dollars, which still holds the highest box office record for Huashi’s films.

In 2011-2012, Huashi indirectly released 21 Chinese films in two years, including many romantic films, such as Global Love, Love, love in the buff and Girlfriend • Boyfriend, etc., and the distribution of schedules is relatively even, which can be regarded as finding the rhythm of distribution, and also letting North American audiences develop corresponding viewing habits. However, due to the CEO milt &bull before February this year; Barlow’s resignation led to the reorganization of the company’s management. Until mid-June, China Lion released its first work "To Youth" in 2013, and the audience’s enthusiasm was not high. In the end, it only achieved a single performance of less than $4,000. However, the box office of the following two "Tiny Times" was significantly higher, and the revenue of a single museum exceeded $7,000.

Throughout the past three years, the scale of Huashi’s films has obviously decreased, from the average number of 25 cinemas in 2011 to single digits this year, and the performance of a single museum has also declined. It seems that it will take time to recover. When asked about the challenges faced by the company, Robert &bull, vice president of China Lion North America; Lundberg admitted to the Tencent reporter that "piracy is a big blow and a big problem". In addition, compared with the first two local teams who are willing to spend money on advertising, Chinese lions are also quite restrained in the cost of publicity. In addition to paying for outdoor advertisements for individual films [such as "1942"], they still focus on low-cost social platform promotion and grassroots word-of-mouth marketing.

Of course, talking about the box office can’t just look at the overall performance. When measuring the box office results, North American publishers also value the single-store income (the average box office of each theater) because it can more objectively reflect the performance of the film. For example, the box office champion "The Grandmaster", due to the large-scale release of the film in 804 theaters in the United States, its single-room income ($8,202.7) is not as good as the small-scale release of the well-known masterpiece "Destiny" ($16,853.2) — — The latter was only shown in six cinemas for a short time (recently, IFC Cinema in new york began to show the film at the request of the audience). Looking at the 22 Chinese films this year, as many as 14 films earned less than $5,000 in a single library, while only 6 films did not cross the line last year.

In the past four years, Chinese films have been stumbling forward in North America. From 6 movies in 2010 to 1.093 million, 16 movies in 2011 to 3.072 million, 20 movies in 2012 to 7.64 million this year, although the number has been increasing, the pattern of limited influence, excessive dependence on individual movies and large box office fluctuations has not changed. (Editor’s Note: snow flower and the secret fan is usually counted as an English film, so it is not included in the following table)

Chinese films are struggling.

How much did the North American film market leave for China?

In the entire North American film market, American films account for 92%, European films account for 6%, and only the remaining 2% is reserved for other countries, including India, South Korea and Japan. Many people in the industry believe that even if the 2% market share is completely won, it will not have much effective effect on the development space of China films. Nowadays, Japan and South Korea have gradually lost their local film markets, and all of them have been "occupied" by Hollywood films. China’s film market is also facing the same problem. Therefore, in the face of the dilemma of the loss of the local market, the capital behind the film is even more reluctant to take risks.

Nowadays, a large amount of hot money has poured into the mainland market, which makes more film practitioners turn their attention from export to domestic sales. Some production companies have figured that instead of spending a lot of money to invest overseas, it is better to quickly dig for gold in the domestic market.

Luo Sidian, an expert on film studies in China, once said that such a problem is a structural obstacle for all non-English films to enter the American film market. Because in the eyes of American audiences, non-English movies are "art movies", and "art movies" can only be released in the category of art theaters.

The publisher team has expanded, but it is still a game for a few people.

In North America, cinema distribution itself is a highly competitive and difficult business, while Chinese films are obviously not mainstream films, and the market space is very narrow, so the number of "players" that can be accommodated is also limited. Among them, there are companies like China lion and WellGo that are struggling to survive; There is also the unfortunate Indomina Media who was dragged down after several films were released; The remaining filmmakers with deep pockets only occasionally taste the "freshness" of Chinese films — — In the past four years, although the number of Chinese film distributors in North America has expanded slightly, from the initial five or six to about ten now, its niche market is still an indisputable fact.

　

The impact of "beating" will eventually change, and urban love is difficult to "try and make mistakes"

What kind of Chinese films sell well in North America? I’m afraid the film, the creator and the media people can’t give a standard answer. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero and other films have set box office records for more than ten years, but Chinese films are still at the level of "beating" a few mainstream audiences in North America. However, it’s a bit reluctant to let the series of Ip Man and various films around key words such as "Tai Chi" and "Kung Fu" prop up the whole situation. Therefore, it is a gratifying progress to see that the Chinese lion pays attention to developing the market for Chinese students and new immigrants, and tries to introduce various urban youth romance films from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although the effect is still mixed, no matter how "wrong" it is, you can finally try "right" only if you keep trying.

Schedule? Piracy? It is king to choose the right film and publicize it in place.

Speaking of the reasons for the bleak box office in North America in Chinese films, it is often simply and rudely attributed to the publisher’s failure to choose the right screening date, which made piracy take advantage of the loopholes and lost the box office. However, this year’s sharp contrast between The Master and The Dragon King, the capital of Di Renjie, makes this excuse really untenable: The release date of The Master in North America is seven and a half months later than that in the Mainland, while Di Renjie released by AMC appeared in North America simultaneously with the Mainland; On the one hand, there are theme types with broad market potential, coupled with precise marketing with full firepower, on the other hand, there are stories that are too foreign and appear quietly. In the end, the vastly different box office performances of both sides speak for themselves.

Analysis of Chinese Film Distributors: Varnstam has deep pockets and hard skills.

This year’s 22 Chinese films are distributed by 12 different companies, and they can also be roughly divided into several echelons. First of all, Varnstam, a well-known independent publisher in Hollywood, has always been famous for his "winning a good film", "generous publicity expenses" and "tough public relations skills", and is regarded as the leader in the industry. This time, the release of "The Grand Master", Varnstam not only let director Wong Kar-wai and starring Zhang Ziyi go to all parts of the United States for publicity, but also marked "Martin • Scorsese strongly recommended the localization label, and invited him to attend the grand premiere of the film in new york. In addition, the group went to the San Diego Comic-Con, and of course, the special screening for Oscar held in Los Angeles earned enough attention.

At the same time, Varnstam also cooperated with The New York Times, LA Times and other major media and professional magazines in all kinds of film reviews, advertisements and public relations manuscripts, and created wonderful trailers for North American audiences. Both online and offline, the publicity work was done quite well. On the day of the film’s release in Los Angeles, the author went to watch the movie at the first time and found that most of the audience were Americans. The cinema I went to, which is located in the west of Los Angeles and adjacent to Beverly Hills, rarely showed Chinese movies before because of its superior geographical position. Presumably, only such a strong distributor as Varnstam can seize a place from it.

Even a rough calculation shows that the publication cost of "The Grand Master" is definitely more than one million dollars (the "admission fee" paid to the cinema alone is 8-1,000 dollars/home, and more than 800 cinemas have counted nearly 800,000), but I just don’t know whether the box office of less than 7 million in the end can make Varnstam return to the book. But Varnstam doesn’t seem to care — — It is said that Harvey, the boss of the company, took the film mainly to "please" Megan &bull, the owner of Annapurna Pictures, the nominal publisher of the film; Ellison — — Larry &bull, the founder and CEO of Oracle Bone Inscriptions; Ellison’s daughter is a well-known local tyrant in Hollywood, and she has invested in masterpieces such as The Master, Hunting Bin Laden and american hustle. As an investment and production company, Annapurna Pictures didn’t publicize its resources and experience, but Varnstam’s joining just sold his personal feelings in exchange for further cooperation between the two companies in the future. Therefore, regardless of the film’s profit and loss geometry, Varnstam will bear it.

Medium players have their own main characters.

Secondly, it is a medium-sized independent publisher with a good reputation in North Varnstam, including’s newly established sub-brands, such as Radius-TWC, VarianceFilms, Kino Lorber, First Run and Magnolia (CJ Entertainment, a Korean company, has only released a Chinese-language film of Breaking Up Contract co-produced by China and South Korea, so it is not included). Except for Variance Films, which has a lot of experience in publishing Chinese films, the others have released one occasionally every two or three years, which can be said to be in the stage of cautiously testing the water, but almost every one has its own main genre.

For example, this year brought Keanu • Radius-TWC, the debut film of Tai Chi Xia directed by Reeves, released its last Chinese film at the end of last year, and it seems that it is still conservatively following the traditional blockbuster themes of Chinese films such as "action" and "martial arts". Magnolia’s last film was Warlords in 2010. After three years, it chose the fantasy film The Legend of the White Snake, and still promoted Jet Li, which is quite appealing in North America. Although these companies are a long way behind Vivern Stein in the publicity strength, the number of cinemas is only single digits, and the number of cinemas is only around 30, but due to better control on the scale, almost all of their films released this year have earned more than or close to $5,000. Of course, the performance of Tai Chi Xia is really disappointing — — Because of its global and prestige background, Radius was able to spread in more than 100 theaters in the United States, but as a result, the box office of a single museum was reduced to a pitiful $910, which really lost a lot of money.

In the second echelon, Variance Films should be regarded as a special case. Since 2011, the company has issued Ip Man 2 and Jingwu Fengyun • Zhen Chen, New Shaolin Temple, Revolution of 1911, Let Bullets Fly, Tai Chi 1: Starting from scratch and this year’s Drug War are seven action-oriented films, and their box office results are above average. However, after investigation by the author, it is found that the distribution rights of these films are actually in the hands of another company, WellGo USA, which is good at the distribution of DVDs, VOD and other media platforms. For example, many Chinese films seen by North American audiences on Netflix and other video sites are distributed through WellGo. However, in terms of cinema distribution, WellGo has no advantage, which can be seen from its single-room revenue struggling on the qualified line: Four films released by WellGo this year, Love on the Rooftop, Ip Man: The Last World War, Tai Chi 2: The Rise of Heroes and guillotines, all rank in the middle and lower reaches of the list in terms of box office and single-room revenue.

Therefore, in many cases, WellGo will choose to hire more powerful Variance Films to be responsible for cinema distribution, while focusing on other platforms. Thus, the publishers of Taiji series and Ip Man series jumped back to WellGo from Variance. In fact, the same company was behind it, but the people who came forward were different. Besides Chinese films, WellGo will also release Korean films. In view of the different performances of Chinese and Korean films in North America, WellGo CEO Anne • In an exclusive interview with Tencent reporters, Walker bluntly said, "Chinese people have a poor habit of watching movies."

Analysis of Chinese film publishers: Wanda’s acquisition of AMC has hit a wall.

Finally, AMC cinema is also worth mentioning. Since it was acquired by Wanda Group in May last year, AMC, as the second largest cinema group in the United States, began to try to make film distribution across borders. This year, it released "It’ s too embarrassing for people to stop" and "Di Renjie • Three films: The Dragon King, the God Capital, and the Chinese Zodiac.

Among them, the first two films were screened in its 35 better cinemas, while the last film was spread to 102 cinemas in the United States. However, due to the unclear audience positioning and lack of publicity and promotion, the box office of the three films is not ideal, especially "Zodiac" by Jackie Chan, although it is a good selling theme of action comedy, only earned a mere $100,000 at the box office, and the income of a single museum was only $970.

Closing statement:

Unlike the mainland film market, which has entered a period of rapid and vigorous development, the journey of Chinese films in Hollywood is still in a difficult initial stage. In 2014, a series of works, including Detective, Demon Journey to the West, Magic Police and Frozen, will appear on the other side of the ocean one after another. Although the final box office performance will probably not improve, it will promote the progress of Chinese films in North America again. Chinese export films still have a long way to go. ……

From the perspective of game theory and information economics, involution and lying flat are two sides of the same problem.

First, from eating Chili peppers

So that’s it | How many peppers are you going to eat? The article "Analysis from the Perspective of Nobel Prize Winners in Economics" (2023-12-04, Surging Business School) tells a story: Zhang San, a new classmate in the class, is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Zhang San, who just arrived, doesn’t understand the character of his classmates, but he knows that people’s behavior will expose their personality traits. In particular, Zhang San believes that people who eat Chili peppers usually tend to be tough. The next morning, you and Li Si, who usually don’t eat Chili, eat noodles together, and there is a bowl of chopped millet spicy on the table. It’s a coincidence that Zhang Sany, who is bullying and afraid of bullying, is sitting opposite you two. At this time, both you and Li Si need to make a choice: Do you want to add Xiaomi spicy to your bowl of noodles? How much more?

At that time, the thought experiment we did was: it is meaningless to pretend to be tough and add millet spicy to your bowl because Li Si around you will put more peppers than usual in order to send a strong signal to Zhang San until the amount of peppers makes you unbearable. In this way, it is meaningless for you to eat spicy food. So, the final result-Li Si ate "too much" pepper, and you chose not to eat it.

The reason for this result is that there is a typical information asymmetry problem here. Both you and Li Si know their own personality traits, but for Zhang San, this is his information blind spot. Therefore, eating Chili peppers is not only a consumption behavior that increases utility, but also a signal sending mechanism to release his personality traits to Zhang San, who is at an information disadvantage.

If Wang Wu, a classmate who had breakfast with you this morning, usually eats a little pepper, so he is more spicy than you, then Li Si will have to put more peppers.

If a group of classmates like Li Si who are usually addicted to spicy food come at this time, and everyone has learned that Zhang San’s habit is to stop bullying others after finding someone to bully. It is conceivable that there may be a fierce competition about eating spicy food between Li Si and other students who are fond of spicy food. These always spicy people will also secretly scold in their hearts: "It’s too curly."

If the rice spicy on the dining table is replaced by the less spicy Hangzhou pepper, then Li Si may be forced to eat more peppers. So we can say that they "rolled up" even more in the dimension of the amount of peppers they ate.

If there is an involution, there must be a flat one. At this time, you and those students who can’t eat spicy food will definitely choose to stay out of it, while leisurely eating breakfast with the same taste as usual, while watching those students who can eat spicy food "roll" into a ball. You are the so-called "flat" people.

If we first regard Chili as a degree or diploma, and then regard the diploma as a signal that job seekers send to their employers about their own abilities in the labor market, just like spence, the Nobel Prize winner, it is not difficult to understand why the current education field with strong exam-oriented color is involved in all kinds of jaw-dropping strange phenomena.

Second, where did the "volume" come from?

What people usually call involution refers to a special competitive state. The above logic about signaling is not enough to fully explain the involution. In other words, information asymmetry does not constitute a sufficient condition for "involution". In fact, it does not constitute a necessary condition.

So, what is the root of involution?

The root of involution lies in three interrelated basic characteristics of the competitive pattern: first, resources are highly scarce; Second, the track is single; Third, the system is closed.

Look at the scarcity of resources first.In human society, scarcity and competition are synonymous. The higher the scarcity of a resource, the higher its market value, and the fiercer the competition around it. Conversely, the fierce competition in a certain field must mean that there are very scarce resources in this field.

If Zhang San’s so-called "bullying the weak and being afraid of the hard" is actually harmless, but it is only manifested in the size of Zhang San’s voice in daily life, then people like Li Si will lose more by eating too much Chili, so the "involution" around eating Chili will disappear.

Look at the single track.The essence of single track is that the competition around scarce resources has a single dimension. For example, in the above example, an important assumption is potentially implied: the only way to send a signal to Zhang San is to eat Chili peppers. If there are other channels to send signals, such as the size of biceps brachii, the strength of organizational leadership, the atmosphere during the debate, the style of playing cards and chess, the amount of alcohol, the amount of food, etc., then the competition in the dimension of eating peppers will tend to ease.

The above-mentioned resources are highly scarce and the competition pattern of the track is single, which is often accompanied by another remarkable feature: the system is closed. In fact, the reason why it is called "inner" volume is that the system is closed.

The English for "inner volume" is involve. Directly observing the prefix and root of this word, it is easy to remind us of an old saying: "Dojo is made in the snail shell." The prefix in- of Involve means inward, while the root volv stands for "turning and rolling".

Conversely, if it is an open system, the competition between different individuals will naturally not turn inward, but develop outward. The corresponding English is evolve. Its root is the same as involve, except that the prefix is changed to "e-" which means "outward" or "external". The word means "evolution". It is not difficult to understand that on the blue planet where we live, the evolution of organisms presents increasingly complex and diverse characteristics, and the root cause lies in the fact that the biological system is an open competitive system.

3. Roll inward or outward?

The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly regards "domestic and international double circulation promoting each other" as the basic feature of the new development pattern, which actually reflects the importance of openness to the economic system. Economic system is a typical competitive system.

Traditional farming civilization, as Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, the whole society is divided into small communities. These small communities are formed on the basis of blood and geography, and the relationship between them is isolated and separated. The traditional society based on this closed small community has not surprisingly caused fierce involution, and the whole society has been trapped in the Malthusian trap for thousands of years. Once the economy turned from closed to open, in just a few decades, China’s economic structure and development level have undergone earth-shaking changes.

A study just completed by our research team is also related to this.

Since the reform and opening up, the traffic conditions in the Yangtze River Delta region have been constantly improving, and the traffic from central cities to Shanghai has naturally become more and more convenient.

An easy-to-ignore problem is that this improvement does not naturally mean good for the cities around Shanghai. The reason is intuitive: the transportation to a megacity like Shanghai is more convenient, which not only facilitates the gathering of various resources locally, but also provides convenience for megacities to siphon local resources and economic opportunities. In the latter case, it is often said that megacities have a "siphon effect" on surrounding cities. The former situation corresponds to the positive "radiation" effect of megacities on the surrounding areas, or plays a "leading role".

Our research finds that for the central cities around Shanghai in the Yangtze River Delta region, the improvement of traffic convenience may indeed produce both favorable radiation and unfavorable siphon for the development of these cities. Specifically, before China joined the WTO, the "siphon" effect that Shanghai was unfavorable to the surrounding cities played a slight leading role; After China’s entry into WTO, Shanghai’s positive "radiation" effect on surrounding cities has become very significant.

The law revealed by this study shows that opening to the outside world, a major strategy to make China’s economy break away from the involution track and develop towards a more complex, diverse and advanced economic structure, not only makes China’s economy as a whole gain considerable benefits by participating in the international cycle, but also makes our domestic cycle more efficient.

Science and Technology Daily reporter Zhang Wei correspondent Wu Qi

On April 20th, on the occasion of the 56th World Earth Day, a construction site in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province opened its doors to popularize the technological achievements of low-carbon construction for the citizens.

"This is the pier of the bridge, just like the’ leg’ of the bridge. Under our feet is an integrated ladder cage and an outer frame platform used for pier construction. Different from other construction sites, these facade platforms are composed of modularity, just like building blocks, which can be assembled by themselves according to production needs, which reduces the steel loss by 25% compared with traditional scaffolding, which is both environmentally friendly and efficient. " The technician of Zhenghe Avenue Project of China Railway Eighth Bureau, the construction party, said.

"In the past, we were faced with all units in the industry. This time, opening the door to the general public is not only a test of the project construction level, but also enhances the communication between enterprises and society." At the activity site, Yang Zhiqiang was introducing the energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, green construction techniques and the results of resource recycling applied in the project construction to the surrounding residents who came to visit.

Walking into the construction site, there was no smoke and dust generated by mechanical exhaust, and rows of piers rose from the ground to take shape. The standardized and intelligent construction scene made the visiting residents stop to take pictures. Yang Zhiqiang said: "This is an automatic dust monitoring system, which can be intelligently linked with the enclosure spray device. When the values of PM2.5 and PM10 on site exceed the standard, the system will automatically trigger the spray to let the dust’ fall to the ground’, thus realizing dynamic control." Not only do environmental protection in the enclosure be well implemented, but the project department also upgraded the automatic car washing device at the entrance and exit of the construction site. The sewage after precipitation and filtration can be used for secondary washing of vehicles and sprinkling water on roads to suppress dust. Through recycling, the construction water can be saved by 2000 tons on site every year.

From the construction point of view, it is not an easy task to achieve low carbon. Since entering the site, the Zhenghe Avenue project team of China Railway Eighth Bureau has insisted on integrating the concept of "zero carbon" into the construction details, and introduced a number of environmental protection measures in view of the high energy consumption and high pollution points in traditional construction. Through the linkage of mechanization+intelligence+greening, the project construction has started at full speed.

According to Jiang Yong, the person in charge of the project, the idea of reducing carbon in the project department starts from "replacement" and "reduction". For example, after the construction wastes are classified, hard wastes such as concrete blocks and masonry are broken into construction access roads, steel scraps are recycled into safety guardrails, and wood scraps are processed into temporary facility templates, with a comprehensive utilization rate of over 60%; The temporary facilities on the site are all made of reusable materials, and 70% of the components can be reused after the project. In addition, the introduction of solar outdoor lighting in the living quarters of the construction site can save about 12,000 kWh of electricity every year.

"It’s really not the same as the imagined construction site. I used to worry that the production of construction sites nearby would affect my life. Today, I see that there are so many scientific and environmental protection measures to ensure it, and my heart is much more practical!" Ms. Zhang, a surrounding resident who participated in the event, said with emotion. As a key project in Huishan District, Wuxi City, the construction of the bridge substructure of the project is currently in full swing. Talking about the follow-up construction plan, Jiang Yong said that in the future, the project department will actively apply AI technology to help in resource allocation and further realize the carbon reduction goal of the project construction.

▍ Industry concentration has been further improved.

In 2019, there were frequent mergers and acquisitions between pharmaceutical companies. Observing these cases, we can find that some of them spun off their subsidiaries and some strengthened their own strengths through acquisitions. In addition, the sale of non-core assets by foreign pharmaceutical companies and the takeover by domestic pharmaceutical companies have also caused industry analysis.

In these cases, some of them have been completed and some are still in progress. Through the inventory of one-year acquisition cases, it seems that the industry is progressing in the direction of increasing concentration.

With the deepening of medical reform, the implementation of policies such as consistency evaluation, quantity procurement and DRG, and the improvement of industry access threshold, SMEs will be acquired more frequently by large enterprises.

Of course, this is just like the plan of "supporting the merger and reorganization of pharmaceutical production enterprises, cultivating a number of large enterprise groups with international competitiveness, and improving the concentration of pharmaceutical industry" in the "Several Opinions on Further Reforming and Improving the Policy of Drug Production, Circulation and Use" issued by the State Council in early 2017.
