  Recently, Alibaba, JD.COM, Pinduoduo and Aauto Quicker e-commerce, the "Big Four" listed e-commerce, released quarterly reports one after another this year.

  In the first quarter of this year, all four companies showed positive growth in revenue, among which Pinduoduo’s revenue growth rate far exceeded the other three companies. In terms of net profit and R&D investment, there is a big difference among the four companies. Ali’s net profit has fallen sharply, and Aauto Quicker’s net profit has the fastest growth rate. At the same time, the four companies are paying more and more attention to user experience, and the number of active users in Ali and JD.COM has increased by double digits.

  Pinduoduo’s revenue growth rate far exceeds the other three.

  On May 14th, Alibaba Group released Q4 of fiscal year 2024 and its annual results, of which Q4 (the first quarter of 2024) revenue was 221.874 billion yuan, up 6.57% year-on-year. In addition, in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the total transaction volume (GMV) and the number of orders of Taobao Tmall achieved double-digit growth year-on-year, and the number of 88VIP members exceeded 35 million, which also maintained double-digit growth. Driven by the strong growth in the number of users purchased and the frequency of transactions, Taotian Group achieved revenue of 93.216 billion yuan, up 4% year-on-year, and customer management fee (CMR) revenue increased by 5% year-on-year, exceeding market expectations in an all-round way.

  On the evening of May 16th, a quarterly report released by JD.COM Group showed that from January to March, JD.COM Group achieved a total revenue of 260 billion yuan, up 7.04% year-on-year. Among them, JD.COM’s retail revenue was 226.835 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.82%.

  On May 22nd, Pinduoduo released its financial report for the first quarter of 2024, with revenue of 86.812 billion yuan, up 130.66% year-on-year. According to the financial report, the revenue growth is mainly due to the increase in online marketing services and trading services. In terms of business, the revenue from online marketing services and other services was 42.4562 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 56%. However, more growth came from transaction service revenue, which was 44.3558 billion yuan, up 327% year-on-year.

  On the same day, Aauto Quicker released its financial report for the first quarter of 2024, and Aauto Quicker’s revenue in the first quarter was 29.41 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.62%. In addition, in the first quarter, Aauto Quicker’s e-commerce business GMV increased by 28.2% year-on-year to 288.1 billion yuan. On the user side, the monthly active buyers of e-commerce increased by 22.4% year-on-year to 126 million, especially during the 2024 New Year Festival, the number of buyers increased by over 60% compared with the previous New Year Festival; On the supply side, the number of monthly merchants increased by about 70% year-on-year.

  "From the data point of view, Pinduoduo still maintained a high growth in revenue and profits. JD.COM and Ali’s revenue growth rate has improved, but it is not significant. JD.COM’s profit growth has improved, and Ali’s profit growth is under pressure. " Zhuang Shuai, a special researcher at the Network Economic and Social E-commerce Research Center and founder of Bailian Consulting, commented.

  Chen Hudong, a special researcher at the Network Economic and Social E-commerce Research Center, analyzed that although the revenue scales of several companies are not the same, they have maintained an overall growth trend. Ali and JD.COM have shown a relatively high growth trend through continuous empowerment of their overall business, and optimized their services on the original basis through digital strategy. Therefore, the empowerment characteristics of the two companies are manifested in the upgrading of the original infrastructure, and the effect is also emerging.

  "Alibaba and Pinduoduo’s direct revenue still comes from advertising fees and service fees of the platform, while JD.COM directly comes from commodity sales. The business models of the three companies are different. Pinduoduo, by burning money in the early stage, seized the user’s mind, focused on attacking the city slightly, and then accumulated a lot of traffic. So far, it is a problem of traffic conversion. " Chen Hudong added.

  "Compared with these three giants, Aauto Quicker’s revenue growth rate is at a medium level, with revenue of 29.408 billion yuan, which is higher than the expected 29.040 billion yuan, and its development is relatively stable. In particular, the GMV of e-commerce in Aauto Quicker increased by 28.2% year-on-year to 288.1 billion yuan, which led to other service income, indicating that it was effective to gradually open the traffic entrance of the pan-shelf scene from the fourth quarter of last year. However, the revenue of live broadcast business decreased by 8.0% to 8.6 billion yuan year-on-year, which may be related to factors such as fierce competition in the industry, changes in users’ viewing habits and insufficient innovation in live broadcast content. " Mo Daiqing, a senior analyst of the online retail department of the e-commerce center of the network economy and society, said.

  Ali’s net profit showed negative growth, and Aauto Quicker’s net profit grew the fastest.

  In the first quarter, Alibaba’s net profit returned to its mother was 3.365 billion, down 85.77% year-on-year.

  JD.COM’s net profit in the first quarter was 7.13 billion yuan, up 13.88% year-on-year. Under non-GAAP, the net profit was 8.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.2%.

  The net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders in Pinduoduo in the first quarter was 27.9978 billion yuan, up 246% year-on-year. Operating profit was 25.9737 billion yuan, up 275% year-on-year.

  Aauto Quicker’s net profit in the first quarter was 4.1 billion yuan (a loss of 876 million yuan in the same period last year), and its adjusted net profit was 4.388 billion yuan, a record high in a single quarter.

  Judging from the scale of net profit, Pinduoduo has taken the lead. In this regard, Liu Junbin, a special researcher at the E-commerce Research Center of NetEconomy & Society, said that the good growth of Pinduoduo may cater to the transformation of domestic platforms, deep cultivation of agricultural products, and the demand of overseas platforms for new "good quality and low price".

  Zhuang Shuai also believes that on the one hand, Pinduoduo’s profits benefit from the in-depth promotion of high-quality consumption, high-quality supply and high-quality ecological "three highs" strategy; On the other hand, it is the high growth brought by cross-border e-commerce business in full custody and semi-custody mode.

  However, the growth rate of Aauto Quicker’s net profit exceeded that of Pinduo by as much as 571.82%. Mo Daiqing said that the substantial increase in this data indicates that Aauto Quicker’s profitability is improving significantly, which will play a positive role in promoting the company’s future development.

  Among the four companies, only Alibaba’s net profit declined by 85.77%. Mo Daiqing said that Ali’s net profit fell sharply, which he said was due to factors such as increasing investment in e-commerce business, granting retention incentives to rookie employees and declining market value of listed companies. However, this also reminds Ali to pay more attention to future strategic planning and business development and improve profitability.

  Attach importance to user experience, and the number of active users in Ali and JD.COM has increased by double digits.

  Ali’s financial report shows that the number of 88VIP members exceeded 35 million, a double-digit year-on-year increase. Since the end of December last year, Taobao has launched a series of measures, such as refund-only policy, postal service in Xinjiang, payment after use, upgrade of store experience scoring system and comprehensive transformation of web version, to comprehensively optimize the user experience. According to the financial report, Ali is increasing strategic investment in the fields of commodity supply, customer service, membership system rights and technology with competitive prices, aiming at improving the user experience, thereby increasing the consumer retention rate and increasing the purchase frequency.

  JD.COM Financial Report shows that the number of quarterly active users has maintained double-digit year-on-year accelerated growth for two consecutive quarters, and users’ shopping frequency, NPS (net recommended value) and the number of users in low-tier cities have significantly increased. The significant increase in the number of active users and user participation in the quarter comes from the continuous innovation and upgrading of user experience in JD.COM.

  Pinduoduo also stressed that in the first quarter, the platform continued to launch profit-making activities such as the New Year Festival and the Spring Festival without closing, and focused on the theme of "domestic products are trendy", optimizing quality agricultural products and good brands to subsidize resources, enriching supply, and solidly helping platform users to obtain benefits from both consumption and supply.

  According to the financial report, the average daily active users and average monthly active users in Aauto Quicker reached 394 million and 697 million respectively, up by 5.2% and 6.6% year-on-year, and the average daily active users in Aauto Quicker spent 129.5 minutes. In the first quarter of 2024, the total usage time of users increased by 8.6% year-on-year.

  All four companies pay more and more attention to user experience. Zhuang Shuai pointed out that Pinduoduo firmly grasped the bottom-line city users through agricultural products and white-label products, and then targeted the needs of high-line users and the consumption upgrading needs of bottom-line users who have requirements for quality consumption by subsidizing brand products by 10 billion yuan. JD.COM increased the low-price promotion and live broadcast in the mode of purchasing and selling, consolidated users’ low-price mentality with 3C and household appliances, expanded the categories of clothing, beauty and household agricultural products, and improved the service level through self-built logistics. Ali focuses on Tmall Taobao platform through subtraction, strengthens brand consumption demand through Tmall, expands small and medium-sized businesses through Taobao, enriches low-priced goods, consolidates superior categories of clothing and beauty products, strengthens the expansion of 3C household appliances and agricultural products, and strengthens content construction. And increase investment in live e-commerce.

  Liu Junbin believes that Ali, JD.COM and Pinduoduo all attach importance to low prices and user experience, which is in line with market demand. However, this wave of low prices is essentially different from the original "things are not beautiful and cheap", which requires an accurate grasp of the platform and a clear understanding of the stage and particularity of the wave market. JD.COM adopted the form of big sales promotion and factory e-commerce, and Ali was upgraded to 1688 to join the war. Pinduoduo had the advantage of low price, but all three companies had to do detailed work and could not simply deal with it.

  Mo Daiqing added that Aauto Quicker’s user activity has been increasing, and the shopping experience has been continuously optimized through low-cost good goods supply and online sales hosting functions, and more and more attention has been paid to users first. In the first quarter, the usage time of users in Aauto Quicker increased by 8.6% year-on-year. With traffic, there will be a natural transformation, which will also help Aauto Quicker e-commerce GMV to continuously improve.

  However, although the average daily active users and the average monthly active users in Aauto Quicker have increased, the growth rate has slowed down. This may mean that Aauto Quicker faces challenges in attracting new users, and it also needs to pay more attention to improving user stickiness and activity.

  In addition, according to the complaint data of Dianv Bao, a well-known online consumer dispute mediation platform in China, Pinduoduo ranked first in the complaint list, Taobao ranked second, JD.COM ranked third and Aauto Quicker ranked seventh. This also reminds the four companies to pay more attention to user experience and after-sales service.

Deep blue automobile legal department responded that "the fuel consumption exceeds 24 liters": the data is untrue and the vehicle trajectory is special.

On February 13th, a few days ago, some netizens sent a video saying that the fuel consumption of the dark blue S7 they bought reached 24.77 liters per 100 kilometers during daily driving, and the actual battery life was far from the battery life of the meter. In response, Deng Chenghao, CEO of Deep Blue Auto, responded, ""

Today, the Legal Department of Deep Blue Auto once again issued a response saying:

1. The data of oil consumption of Deep Blue S7 of 30L/100KM and 24.77L/100KM appearing on the Internet are not true. The video vehicle traveled 151.5km from 13: 36 on December 22nd to 22: 26 on December 31st, and consumed 24.77 liters of fuel.

2. The driving track of the video vehicle is quite special. During the period from 13: 36 on December 22 to 22: 26 on December 31, it was driven for 20 times, with a total distance of 151.5km, and each time it was 7-8 km. During the period, the cumulative use of vehicles was 18.44 hours, the driving time was 6.1 hours, and the in-situ use time was 12.34 hours.

3. Although the video author has deleted the relevant video at present, it has actually caused harm to the deep blue brand;

4. Deep Blue will reserve the right to take legal measures for some organized and deliberate smearing behaviors of the Blackwater Army without knowing the facts. Please respect yourself!

According to IT House, this netizen bought a deep blue S7 200Max extended range version for 170,299 yuan in September 2023.

On December 7th, the owner found that this dark blue S7 can only travel 50-60 kilometers with full battery life during daily driving. On December 21, the owner found that the car could only run for more than 20 kilometers with full charge.

After the problem was not solved, the owner chose to drive it as an oil car. However, the owner also found that "the data that came out after adding a box of oil was about 20 oils per 100 kilometers, about 20 oils."

Subsequently, the data collected by the deep blue after-sales staff showed that the actual fuel consumption of the car was 24.77 liters/100 kilometers.

Can "no food after noon" reduce weight? Guangdong Scientific Research Team: Yes!

  Yangcheng Evening News reporter Xue Renzheng correspondent Ling Weiming

  On April 21st, the team of Zhang Huijie from the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Southern Hospital of Guangdong Southern Medical University published a research paper entitled "Calorie restriction with or without time-restricted eating in weight loss" online in the international authoritative journal New England Journal of Medicine. The results show that after 12 months’ intervention, the average weight of the time-limited dieters decreased by 8.0kg compared with the baseline, which is similar to that of the conventional energy restriction, and the diet also has obvious effects in improving metabolic risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid levels.

  A 12-month controlled experiment was conducted on 139 people.

  In recent ten years, obesity has become a major public health problem that seriously affects the physical and mental health of Chinese people. Studies have shown that obesity is mostly caused by excess energy caused by excessive calorie intake and reduced activity. Time-limited diet is a popular fast food mode, which limits the daily eating time window to 8 to 10 hours, and has attracted much attention because it is simple and effective in reducing weight, improving insulin resistance and metabolic disorder. However, the long-term efficacy of time-limited diet needs further verification, especially the long-term clinical efficacy of time-limited diet in weight loss and metabolic improvement has not been fully evaluated compared with simple energy restriction.

  During the 12-month clinical study, the team strictly screened 139 obese adults and randomly divided them into time-limited diet group and conventional energy restriction group.

  "Our culture has ‘ Don’t eat after noon ’ Therefore, we chose the time to restrict diet from 8: 00 to 16: 00. " According to Zhang Huijie, only calorie-free drinks are allowed outside the 8-hour limited eating period, while the regular energy restriction group does not limit any eating time. Both groups received the same energy restriction, and the intervention lasted for 12 months. The research team has nutritionists to provide dietary guidance to obese patients throughout the process, including providing recipes and food collocation selection guidance.

  During the experiment, the research team conducted face-to-face follow-up for all obese patients once or twice a month, made weight measurement, assessed dietary compliance, and helped solve the difficulties in implementation, and conducted online follow-up by phone or WeChat once or twice a week to complete dietary supervision and guidance, while the time-limited diet group also received the supervision and guidance of time-limited diet. "Our experiment has more samples and longer intervention time than similar research." Zhang Huijie said.

  Time-limited diet is similar to limiting energy intake.

  It was found that the average energy intake of obese patients was significantly lower than that before intervention under the intervention of time-limited diet and conventional energy restriction, and both dietary patterns were well followed by patients, and the dietary compliance rate of both groups was above 80%.

  After 12 months of intervention, the average weight of patients in the time-limited diet group was 8.0kg lower than that in the baseline, and the average weight of patients in the conventional energy restriction group was 6.3kg, which was equally effective in both groups. Compared with before intervention, the waist circumference of obese patients in time-limited diet group decreased by 8.6 cm, and that of patients in conventional energy restriction group decreased by 7.2 cm.

  In addition, compared with conventional energy restriction, 8-hour time-limited diet has similar effects in improving metabolic risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid levels.

  Time-limited diet is safe, effective and easy to operate.

  Zhang Huijie introduced that during the 12 months of dietary intervention, there were no serious adverse events in obese patients, only some patients had mild fatigue, dizziness or gastrointestinal discomfort, and they were all improved after adjusting their diet.

  Zhang Huijie believes that a time-limited diet such as "no food after noon" can achieve the effect of controlling calorie intake relatively simply. "If the conventional calorie control method is adopted, the calorie intake should be strictly calculated for three meals, which is difficult for ordinary people to operate and adhere to. It will be easier to operate by adopting a time-limited diet and eating one meal less directly. Our research also shows that time-limited diet is a safe, effective and alternative way of weight management. "

  Zhang Huijie introduced that the research results made it clear for the first time in the world that the obesity treatment mode of time-limited dieting mainly benefited from energy restriction, which innovated the traditional understanding of dieting mode in the past and provided innovative clinical evidence for the clinical practice of dietary intervention for obese patients.

The cheapest Land Rover Discovery-Land Rover Discovery 2.0T

Explore the most affordable land rover discovery-2.0t version. Although it may seem a bit trite, the release of this brand-new model has indeed brought benefits to consumers. Compared with the entry-level model of the previous generation, it upgraded the power system from 3.0V6 supercharged to 2.0T turbocharged, and the price also dropped from 798,000 yuan to 688,000 yuan, saving 110,000 yuan. As the most popular discovery model on the market at present, this 2.0T discovery is undoubtedly a cost-effective leap.

Appearance, this 2.0T discovery continues the design of the old model, and the retention of all LED headlights highlights sincerity. Although the tail design continues the asymmetrical style, Land Rover’s tail nameplate has been updated as a substitute for Si6, while the hidden exhaust shows a low-key elegance. In terms of interior, although it is similar to the discovery of Shenxing, the upgrade of instrument panel is the highlight. The 10.2-inch large screen is matched with InControl in-vehicle system, which provides an intuitive display of four-wheel drive power distribution and suspension information.

However, for off-road enthusiasts, the off-road configuration found in the entry version is a little regrettable, and the differential lock function is cancelled, especially the lack of rock mode and low-speed four-wheel drive, which reduces the extreme off-road performance. However, the standard air suspension still provides some comfort for drivers, which can make up for the lack of dynamic performance and improve the ability to get out of trouble. Nevertheless, for users who are less than 1.65 meters tall, it may be inconvenient to rise to the highest level.

路虎发现

On the road, the discovery with 2.0T engine is excellent, with strong power and ride comfort exceeding that of hard-core off-road vehicles, but the steering feel is fuzzy, which may not meet the needs of urban driving. Despite the attraction of falling prices, consumers need to weigh the lost off-road configuration, such as 40 horsepower and central speedometer locking. For consumers with limited budget but pursuing large SUVs of luxury brands, this entry-level version is a worthy choice. In view of the preferential strength of Jaguar Land Rover, if there is another discount of about 100,000 yuan, its cost performance will be even more amazing.

Reunion year | Water of happiness enters every family.

I still remember that on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader braved the cold and came to the land of Longyuan. At Magang’s home in party member, an old village in Yuan Gudui, the general secretary saw the water tank in the house and deliberately scooped up a ladle of water to taste it carefully. The bitter and salty taste made him frown. Later, the General Secretary made a special trip to Weiyuan County to inspect the water diversion project site, and said eight words to the local and accompanying responsible comrades of relevant state ministries and commissions, "People’s livelihood is paramount and water control is important".

△ On February 3, 2013, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the needy people in Yuangudui Village, Tianjiahe Township, Weiyuan County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province. The picture shows the General Secretary having a cordial conversation with Ma Gang, an old party member, to learn about the production and living conditions.

Whether the water problem is solved well or not is directly related to the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

Summer flood and winter drought, lack of abundant resources in the north and extremely uneven distribution of water resources in time and space have always been the basic water situation in China, and building a national water network is the fundamental measure to solve the uneven distribution of water resources in time and space in China.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has stood at the strategic height of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, put forward the idea of "giving priority to water conservation, balancing space, systematically managing and exerting strength with both hands", established the national "river strategy" and made plans for major projects of the national water network.

The key to building a national water network is to get through the aorta.

From Jiangdu Water Control Project on the East Line of South-to-North Water Transfer Project to Taocha Canal Head Project on the Middle Line, from the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River to Wangjiaba Sluice on the Huaihe River, the General Secretary visited several key water conservancy projects of the national water network. He said earnestly: "Accelerate the construction of the main skeleton and artery of the national water network to provide a strong water security guarantee for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way."."

With the completion of major water diversion projects such as the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the cross-basin and cross-regional water network pattern in China has gradually taken shape. By January 12, 2024, the first phase of the East and Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project had transferred more than 68 billion cubic meters of water, benefiting 44 large and medium-sized cities along the route and directly benefiting more than 176 million people.

In addition to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, in recent years, a number of major water diversion projects have been reported frequently.

In January 2021, the first phase of the water resources allocation project in northern Hubei was opened to water. The project takes Danjiangkou Reservoir as the water source, and the whole line draws water by itself, supplying water to 4.82 million people in 3 cities and 7 counties along the northern Hubei region and irrigating 3.8 million mu of cultivated land, effectively alleviating the serious shortage of water resources in the northern Hubei region.

In December, 2022, the water diversion project from Yangtze River to Huaihe River was put into trial operation, and the Yangtze River and Huaihe River achieved a historic "hand in hand". The water supply scope of the Yangtze River-Huaihe River Diversion Project covers 55 counties (cities, districts) in 15 cities in Anhui and Henan provinces, with a total length of 723 kilometers and a benefit range of 70,600 square kilometers, benefiting more than 50 million people in northern Anhui and eastern Henan.

△ Xijiang River goes underground to moisten Greater Bay Area. The water resources allocation project in the Pearl River Delta starts from Liyuzhou, the main stream of Xijiang River in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong Province in the west, crosses Shiziyang and reaches Gongming Reservoir in Shenzhen in the east. It is a long-distance pressurized water transfer project with the largest flow in the world.

On January 30, 2024, the Pearl River Delta water resources allocation project, a major national water conservancy project and a national water network backbone project, was opened to water. With a total length of 113.2 kilometers, the project can deliver 1.708 billion cubic meters of water to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area every year, benefiting more than 32 million people along the route, solving the water shortage problem in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan and other places, and building a multi-water source guarantee system in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

To build a national water network, we need to work hard to smooth the microcirculation.

In January, 2017, on the eve of the Spring Festival of the Lunar New Year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Desheng Village, Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, braving the cold of April and September. He walked into the homes of poor households and asked with concern where the water used by the villagers came from.

In January 2020, on the eve of the Spring Festival of the Lunar New Year, the General Secretary came to Yunnan to visit and express condolences to the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups. In the kitchen of Li Fashun, a villager in Tengchong, three village, he turned on the tap and nodded when he saw the clear tap water rushing out.

A warm-hearted inquiry and careful examination again and again embodies the people’s leaders’ concern about the villagers’ water use.

In order to solve the problem of drinking water safety in rural areas, in recent years, Chinese has traveled all over remote areas and deep mountains that have never been touched before, looking for water sources and repairing channels.

△ By 2020, the problem of drinking water safety for poor people in China has been comprehensively solved, and the people’s sense of gain and happiness has been significantly improved.

In Linxia Dongxiang Autonomous County, Gansu Province, under the complex terrain such as collapsible loess, ditches and steep mountains, more than 7,200 kilometers of pipelines cover the whole county.dredgedredgeClear water flowed into the homes of more than 300,000 Dongxiang people. The villagers bid farewell to the days when water was carried by donkeys and stored in water cellars, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in the mountain villages of the county.

In Guyuan Mountain Area of Ningxia, starting from the reservoir in Jingyuan County, the clear pulse has passed through six pumping stations, raising the water more than 600 meters high, so that a small village with more than 700 people 230 kilometers away can also drink tap water at any time.

In order to strengthen the "capillary" construction of national water network, in 2023, the state made great efforts to open the "last mile" of water network construction.

According to the data released by the Ministry of Water Resources, in 2023, the penetration rate of tap water in rural areas in China reached 90%, and the proportion of rural population covered by large-scale water supply projects reached 60%.

"Ask the canal that clear? Because there is a source of living water.

The newly revised sports law clearly stipulates the inheritance and development of traditional sports.

  Archery, horseback riding, martial arts, wrestling, dragon boat … … Traditional sports originated from the practice of production and life are not only cultural relics bearing heavy history, but also precious wealth nourishing spiritual blood.

  Exploring, sorting out, protecting, popularizing and innovating traditional sports will help to better meet the growing needs of the people for physical fitness, and it is also of great significance to inherit and carry forward China’s excellent traditional culture. To inherit and carry forward traditional sports well, we should not only rely on different levels of traditional sports meetings of ethnic minorities, but also pay attention to excavating the diversified values contained in traditional sports culture; It is necessary to make traditional sports play a greater role in the national fitness cause, and to integrate traditional sports with tourism, culture, economic and social development. Promoting the development of traditional sports and inserting the wings of the times will surely gather greater strength for the construction of a sports power.

Have you got the "big move" to deal with the highlights of Spring Festival travel rush’s annual "big exam"?

one

  CCTV News:As the Spring Festival is approaching, people are very concerned about Spring Festival travel rush. How to deal with the annual "big exam"? On January 18th, at the press conference of the State Council Office, responsible comrades of relevant departments introduced the situation and work arrangement of Spring Festival travel rush in 2019.

  The rostrum on that day was slightly crowded, and the host and seven responsible comrades of relevant departments patiently answered. The podium was already packed, and some reporters came to the press conference site early, occupied a good position and set up machines, and recorded the innovative "big moves" of many departments in response to Spring Festival travel rush with their own lenses and pen and ink.

  The first and last mile of unimpeded travel

one

  The National Development and Reform Commission has instructed all departments to strengthen the connection between different modes of transportation. Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and other places have opened "reserved buses", and some cities have established "off-site terminals" to provide intermodal services between different modes of transportation, so as to smooth the first and last kilometers of passengers’ travel.

  The transportation department has also strengthened the effective connection between inter-city traffic and urban traffic, and Beijing South Railway Station and tianjin railway station have realized joint safety inspection between stations and subways, mutual recognition of security inspection, and reduced repeated security inspection. There are 50 railway stations in the country that have realized the transfer within the station, which is convenient for passengers to travel to the maximum extent. At 18 stations, including Nanjing South Railway Station and Guangzhou South Railway Station, high-speed rail and shared car services are provided to get through the last mile of travel.

  Science and technology intelligence to improve service quality

one

  The railway department should have known about the introduction of information services. Increase the push of information such as the situation of being late, grouping and seat changes, so that passengers can grasp the information as soon as possible and arrange their trips reasonably. Vigorously promote the "high-speed rail network+internet" integrated service, and improve the efficiency of entering and leaving the station with intelligent services. Some new functions, such as scanning code login, "brushing face" verification, alternate ticket purchase, have been introduced for online ticket sales, and self-checking of second-generation ID cards has been realized in qualified railway stations, so there is no need to collect tickets.

  In addition, 12306 also launched an alternate ticket purchase service. When passengers can’t buy tickets for the first time, they can make up the returned tickets in time through the standby tickets, which can reduce the time and energy spent by passengers to repeatedly check the remaining tickets. By January 17th, 294,000 standby orders had been received, and the effect was very good.

  Civil aviation promotes "paperless" travel at major airports in China and makes great use of modern information technology. Self-service check-in machines and electronic registration boards were opened at 229 airports, and the whole process of passenger check-in and security check-in and boarding was realized electronically at 32 airports of 10 million levels; In some airports, the whole process of tracking outbound baggage and video monitoring of arrival baggage are realized to avoid baggage loss; On more than 300 aircraft of 12 airlines, cabin network service was opened; Push all flight dynamic information in real time, and simplify the procedures for returning and signing. In Beijing, Shenzhen and Jilin, we will carry out pilot projects of electronic temporary flight identification, which can be applied for online by mobile phone anytime and anywhere, making it convenient for passengers who forget to bring their ID cards when they go out.

  Work overtime and stick to your post.

  Spring Festival travel rush is the peak period of the most concentrated passenger flow in a year, and all departments have made sufficient guarantees for personnel capacity.

  The 2 million cadres and workers of the railway department will stick to their posts during the festival, especially during the New Year’s Eve, the first day and the second day, and arrange 500,000 employees to take up their posts for the maintenance of fixed facilities and rolling stock mobile equipment to ensure the safety and stability of transportation after the festival.

  The civil aviation department introduced new measures in Spring Festival travel rush this year to arrange some hot cities to operate overnight. Ten large airports, such as Pudong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Kunming, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Xi ‘an, Urumqi and Sanya, arrange a certain number of flights from 1 am to 6 am throughout Spring Festival travel rush for 40 days to cope with possible passenger travel peaks and relieve the previous passenger detention and congestion.

  In terms of emergency management, the newly established national fire rescue team strictly implements the duty standby system, so that all fire officers and soldiers can be on duty 24 hours a day and monitor disaster information 24 hours a day. Strengthen the on-site duty in key areas, increase the input of duty forces, and implement uninterrupted mobile duty inspections.

  Service consciousness warms the way home

one

  In the aspect of station service, the railway department has implemented the unblocked project and the toilet revolution, leaving the waiting room of the station to the maximum extent for passengers to wait. At the same time, the toilets should be kept clean and in good condition, so as to enhance the feeling and experience of Spring Festival travel rush tourists.

  The civil aviation department enriches aviation meals, making passengers eat in the air full of flavor and nostalgia, and promoting the catering in the airport terminal "the same quality and the same price in the same city". Improve barrier-free facilities and equipment, improve the maternal and child room of the airport, and reflect the humanistic care of civil aviation services. Further improve the service level of cabin and ground services to ensure that passengers travel comfortably and conveniently.

  Safety is the shortest way home.

one

  At the press conference, the most talked about by relevant departments is safety. Indeed, safety is our lifeline. All departments have taken relevant measures and formulated relevant plans to ensure smooth and safe operation.

  Responsible comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission suggested rejecting illegal operations, staying away from danger, and ensuring a safe and smooth road to family reunion.

  The public security department reminds that the most important thing to travel by car is to remember the word "safety". And put forward three suggestions: be fully prepared, be civilized and law-abiding, and drive carefully.

  The curtain of 2019 Spring Festival travel rush opens, and safety, smoothness and warmth will accompany you and me! The Spring Festival is a festival of family reunion. Peace is the greatest expectation of family members and the shortest way home.

Baidu uses technology to make the complex world simpler.

  In the past few years, various problems based on AI (artificial intelligence) have been one of the hottest topics in the field of science and technology. How to make this cutting-edge scientific and technological force simpler and acceptable to the people has become a real problem at present. In response to this problem, Baidu gave its own plan.

  A few days ago, after reaching a strategic cooperation with China Science and Technology Museum, Baidu’s "Voyager" AI Popular Science Bus has started from Beijing, and has been launched in local science and technology museums in five cities across the country. On August 4, 2017, Baidu and science and technology hall held the launching ceremony of "Artificial Intelligence Popular Science China Tour" in Beijing, which marked the first stage of the strategic framework cooperation agreement reached between them based on artificial intelligence popular science. This trip of artificial intelligence science popularization in China has been carried out in local science and technology museums in five cities in China. The "Voyager" AI science popularization bus will spread the knowledge of artificial intelligence to all parts of the country, which also shows that Baidu’s artificial intelligence technology not only changes industries, but also cares about people’s lives. Bring updated artificial intelligence knowledge to further places. Prior to this, Baidu also successfully realized the "restoration" of the damaged Terracotta Warriors and Horses and the intelligent display of related cultural relics through artificial intelligence technology. In addition, Baidu is also committed to using the new AR (Augmented Reality) technology to restore and reproduce the folk life of old Beijing, and use technology to awaken history, so that experiencers can fully experience history and culture and become a part of history.

  Make the complex world simpler.

  In fact, it is Baidu’s mission to make the complex world simpler with technology. In the past few years, Baidu has been committed to technological innovation and the development of artificial intelligence. The reason why Baidu can achieve today’s achievements is closely related to the country’s concern and support for the field of scientific and technological innovation.

  In order to realize the mission of "making the complex world simpler with technology", Baidu will adhere to two core strategies: consolidating the mobile foundation and winning the AI ? ? era. In short, AI is the core driving force of Baidu.

  It is reported that Baidu AI platform is the foundation of developing application layer, which is composed of Baidu Brain and Baidu AI Cloud. Baidu brain is the first complete artificial intelligence platform in the industry, including algorithm layer, perception layer, cognition layer and platform layer. Baidu’s algorithm layer includes machine learning platform and deep learning platform; Perception layer includes speech recognition, image recognition, AR, VR (virtual reality) and other capabilities; The cognitive level includes NLP (natural language processing), knowledge map and user portrait; The platform layer is an AI open platform, which opens different capabilities to the outside world. Intelligent cloud is the foundation of Baidu AI platform, which is composed of AI+ big data+cloud.

  At present, Baidu’s AI technology capability is accelerating at a solid pace. For developers and eco-partners, Baidu announced a number of important plans, including the Apollo plan for intelligent driving and the two open platforms for intelligent voice DuerOS, to fully launch Baidu’s important AI eco-strategies, technologies, business progress and solutions.

  Up to now, in the field of artificial intelligence, Baidu has opened more than 60 AI core technologies, forming four major AI commercialization scenarios: airport, sales customer service, home and automobile. At the industrial chain level, only in the field of intelligent driving, more than 50 upstream and downstream manufacturers of the first-tier automobile industry at home and abroad have announced their participation in Baidu AI circle of friends in the three months since the announcement of the "Apollo Plan".

  Baidu takes artificial intelligence as the driving force to continuously improve its existing core businesses, especially mobile phone Baidu, search, information flow and other core products. At the same time, in order to explore long-term market opportunities, Baidu will continue to expand emerging AI-driven businesses through open platforms and ecosystems.

  Awakening history and culture with science and technology

  Awakening history and culture with technology is one of the important practices undertaken by Baidu, the global artificial intelligence giant, in the field of AI, and it is also one of the most intuitive channels for the public to experience the power of AI at present.

  On August 4th, 2017, Baidu and science and technology hall held the launching ceremony of "Artificial Intelligence Science Popularization in China" in Beijing, which marked the first stage of the strategic framework cooperation agreement reached between them based on artificial intelligence science popularization. This trip of artificial intelligence science popularization in China has been carried out in local science and technology museums in five cities in China. The "Voyager" AI science popularization bus will spread the knowledge of artificial intelligence to all parts of the country, which also shows that Baidu’s artificial intelligence technology not only changes industries, but also cares about people’s lives.

  On May 18th this year, Baidu announced that it had realized the "restoration" of the damaged Terracotta Warriors and Horses and the intelligent display of related cultural relics through artificial intelligence technology. According to reports, the "restoration" plan uses AR technology to "restore" the Terracotta Warriors and Horses No.2 pit, kneeling figurines and bronze chariots and horses. Visitors can see the "alive" Terracotta Warriors and other cultural relics with their own eyes by scanning the three triggers of "plane layout", "light box of kneeling figurines" and "structure diagram of bronze chariots and horses" in the No.2 pit of Terracotta Warriors and Horses through Baidu AR function of mobile phone.

  At the same time, the Digital Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses built by Baidu Encyclopedia was officially launched, presenting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses to the audience for the first time with the "ultra-high-definition level" of 20 billion pixels, becoming the first historical landscape in eight wonders of the world to be exhibited online with 10 billion pixels.

  At the beginning of this year, following the restoration of Chaoyangmen by Baidu AR technology, Baidu began to comprehensively upgrade AR technology and completely restore the nine gates of old Beijing as cultural cities. It is reported that Baidu’s activity of restoring the nine gates of old Beijing through AR technology was held during the Spring Festival, so it has attracted the attention of many citizens and friends. During the event, passengers can see all kinds of life scenes of the old people in the old Beijing city after triggering AR through the mobile phone Baidu App, and at the same time, they can also interact with the restored "Old Nine Gates", which is very exciting.

  Compared with some applications with a strong commercial atmosphere, Baidu’s attempt to awaken history and culture with technology and let the experiencers fully experience history and traditional culture with new AR technology can really make more and more people pay attention to and even participate in the inheritance and protection of history and culture. This also shows that Baidu’s artificial intelligence technology is not only about changing industries, but also about people’s lives themselves. Text/Liu Yang

8.4 million audit fees, but not 11.9 billion shocking false accounts! The "accomplice" behind Kangdexin’s fraud was found out …

  Kang Dexin’s alleged inflated profits of 11.9 billion yuan caused widespread concern. And because of Kangdexin’s fraud,Ruihua Certified Public Accountants, the auditing agency, has been put on file for investigation by CSRC..

  Accounting firms, originally gatekeepers of financial authenticity of listed companies, should be responsible to investors.

  What is the current situation of Ruihua Certified Public Accountants after this investigation? The reporter investigated Ruihua Certified Public Accountants involved.

  Ruihua Certified Public Accountants was placed on file for investigation.

  What is the operating status of Ruihua Certified Public Accountants after the CSRC said it would file an investigation? 

  The reporter came to Ruihua Certified Public Accountants and saw people coming in and out, and everything was as usual.

  The auditor involved has not been suspended

  Inquiring about Kangdexin’s annual report from 2014 to 2017, Ruihua’s audit opinions are all "standard without reservation", involving four signed auditors, one of whom is Zheng Longxing. The reporter inquired that his work place is Shenzhen, Guangdong.

  The reporter asked the staff of Ruihua Certified Public Accountants Shenzhen Branch: "Is an accountant named Zheng Longxing our accountant? Is he still working here now? "

  The staff replied: "Yes, I haven’t seen him these two days." 

  The reporter also asked about Zheng Longxing’s work status, and the front desk staff said that he was still working on other projects and should be out of office. According to the staff, the accountants involved are still working normally. Has the accounting firm given an internal education warning?

  The staff of Ruihua Certified Public Accountants Shenzhen Branch replied: "It seems that there isno."

  Lawyer: Ruihua should pay compensation for its responsibility. 

  So, how did Ruihua Certified Public Accountants pass the false financial reports of listed companies? Should they bear corresponding responsibilities to investors?

  Since 2012, Kangdexin’s annual reports have been audited by Ruihua. In the four years suspected of financial fraud,The total audit cost is 8.4 million..

  Zeng Tieshan, Executive Partner of Guangdong Huashang Law FirmIn general, if intermediaries and responsible persons violate the provisions of the Securities Law and make false statements, thus causing losses to investors, they shall be liable for compensation for their responsibilities.

  According to the determination of the CSRC, from January 2015 to December 2018, Kangdexin inflated its operating income through fictitious sales business, and inflated its operating costs, R&D expenses and sales expenses through fictitious procurement, production, R&D expenses and product transportation expenses. In the annual report from 2015 to 2018,The inflated profits were 2.381 billion yuan, 3.089 billion yuan, 3.974 billion yuan and 2.477 billion yuan respectively, with a total inflated profit of 11.921 billion yuan..

  Ruihua issued three annual reports in 2015, 2016 and 2017 in four consecutive annual reports of Kangdexin.Standard unqualified opinion",issued for the 2018 annual report is"Unable to express an opinion”。 At this time, Kangdexin has been in deep crisis, and the CSRC has filed an investigation on Kangdexin. 

  Yang Zixiao, Managing Director of Lotus Capital ConsultingIn fact, it didn’t play the role of warning risks, so it didn’t fulfill its responsibility, so it is reasonable for the CSRC to file a case against it.

  Ruihua Certified Public Accountants has repeatedly received fines from CSRC in recent years. 

  In recent years, Ruihua Certified Public Accountants has repeatedly received fines from the Securities and Futures Commission, and even once suspended its undertaking of new securities business.Why do you repeatedly investigate and commit crimes? What is the problem?

  Ruihua Certified Public Accountants is one of the largest accounting firms in China, and its business volume is also considerable in the industry. On its official website, we can see that as of May 31, 2019, there were 316 A-share listed companies audited by it. Since the news that Ruihua Certified Public Accountants was investigated by the Securities and Futures Commission broke out, some listed companies provided by Ruihua Certified Public Accountants indicated that they would reconsider their auditing business.

  Relevant person in charge of client enterprise of Ruihua Certified Public Accountants.Finally, according to the review results of the regulatory authorities, accountants have accounting standards. Anyway, everyone follows the standards. If the regulatory authorities question their qualifications in all aspects, the final result must be considered.

  This is not the first time that Ruihua Certified Public Accountants has received a fine from the regulatory authorities. In the past few years, Ruihua Certified Public Accountants has been punished by the Securities and Futures Commission for failing to be diligent and conscientious in the audit process and issuing false records in the audit reports.

  Yang Zixiao, Managing Director of Blue Lotus Capital ConsultantIt may have had some problems in the past few years, which proves that in fact, there are some problems in the punishment and implementation of the whole audit industry, including the quality of issuing audit reports.

  Although the CSRC has issued administrative penalty notices for many times, the ticket on record can only be said to be a cup of fine wine. The reporter’s inquiry found that the corresponding punishment was only confiscation of business income and a fine ranging from several hundred thousand yuan to several million yuan in view of the firm’s repeated failure to perform its duties diligently and issue audit reports with false records.

  According to industry insiders,Such punishment is far from enough to protect investors..

  Zeng Tieshan, executive partner of Guangdong Huashang Law Firm: At present, the protection of investors abroad is still very strict. Judging from the cases we searched for in the past two years, the punishment for audit institutions, including law firms and accounting firms, is very strong, and some cases with the amount as high as tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars exist.

  Short comments on finance and economics: "recidivist" should be severely punished and pursued.

  Ruihua Certified Public Accountants, which is supposed to exercise the supervision function, has become a recidivist who has repeatedly violated the laws and regulations of the capital market, even a recidivist.

  We have always said that professionals should be allowed to do professional things, but now, where does this so-called professional guarantee come from? Where should the trust of investors and markets be invested? Perhaps, our supervision system still needs to be upgraded, at least for such institutions with criminal records, it should be severely punished and pursued.

  Interfere with the securities market many times,

  The punishment!
