Dragon Boat Festival

 

 

 

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanyang Festival, which is one of the four traditional festivals in China. On this day, people will race dragon boats, eat zongzi and hang wormwood. The Dragon Boat Festival culture has a wide influence in the world, and some countries and regions in the world also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the List of Representatives of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, making the Dragon Boat Festival the first non-legacy festival in China.

 

 

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival

 

It is said that the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great poet in Chinese history. It is precisely because of this that the Dragon Boat Festival was named "Poet’s Day" after the founding of New China.

 

Qu Yuan is one of the greatest romantic poets in China, the earliest known famous poet in China and a world cultural celebrity. He created the style of "Chu Ci" and the tradition of "vanilla beauty". Representative works include Li Sao and Nine Songs.

 

In the history of our country, the saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan has a history of more than 1500 years. According to legend, after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, the local people immediately rowed for rescue and went all the way to Dongting Lake, but Qu Yuan’s body was never seen. At that time, it was rainy, and the boats on the lake gathered together beside the pavilion on the shore. When people learned that it was to salvage the virtuous minister Dr. Qu, they went out in the rain again and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to mourn, people rowed on the rivers, and then it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. The people were afraid that the fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home to bring rice balls and throw them into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan’s body. Later, it became the custom to eat zongzi.

 

The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival

 

 

First, dragon boat race

 

Dragon boat race is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, it originated in ancient times, because Chu people could not bear to part with Qu Yuan, a worthy minister, and died in the river, many people rowed to catch up and save. They scrambled to catch up with each other until Dongting Lake disappeared. After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. People use dragon boats to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan’s body. The habit of racing is prevalent in Wu, Yue and Chu.

 

 

Second, eat zongzi

 

Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of Chinese residents. Zongzi, also known as "horn millet" and "tube zongzi". It has a long history and various patterns. On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, families eat zongzi to commemorate Qu Yuan. Generally, they wrap zongzi the day before, cook them at night and eat them in the morning. Dumplings are mainly made of tender reed leaves which are abundant along the river pond, and bamboo leaves are also useful in some areas, collectively called zongye. The traditional form of zongzi is triangle, which is generally named after the inner pulp. The glutinous rice dumplings are called rice dumplings, the ones mixed with adzuki beans are called adzuki dumplings, and the ones mixed with red dates are called jujube dumplings, which are collectively called glutinous rice dumplings. Jujube dumplings are homophonic for "early middle school", so they are eaten the most, and children who intend to study can win the championship early. In the past, scholars used to eat jujube dumplings in the morning on the day of taking the imperial examination. Up to now, parents have to make jujube dumplings for candidates on the morning of the entrance examination day for middle schools and universities, wishing them a good school.

 

 

Third, tie colorful ropes and wear sachets

 

Five-color lines are mainly composed of five colors: green, red, white, black and yellow. These five colors are called auspicious colors, and they can be worn on the Dragon Boat Festival to keep you safe. Later, the custom of tying colorful ropes gradually evolved into hanging sachets, and children wore sachets on the Dragon Boat Festival. Legend has it that it meant to ward off evil spirits and drive away plague (in ancient times, people thought that they were sick because of monsters and ghosts), but it was actually used to decorate the inner head. The sachet contains cinnabar, realgar and fragrant medicine, wrapped with silk cloth, which is full of fragrance, and then tied with five-color silk threads to form a rope, making a string in various shapes, all kinds of shapes, small and lovely. In some southern cities of China, young men and women also use sachets to express their deep love.

Four, hanging wormwood and calamus

 

A folk proverb says, "Willows are inserted in Qingming Festival, and Ai is inserted in Dragon Boat Festival". On the Dragon Boat Festival, people regard inserting wormwood and calamus as one of the important contents. Every household should sweep the courtyard and put calamus and moxa sticks in the lintel and hang them in the hall. Acorus calamus, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Liuhua, Bulbus Allii and Dragon Boat Flower are made into human or tiger shapes, which are called Ai Ren and Ai Hu. It is made into garlands and ornaments, which are beautiful and fragrant, and women compete to wear them to drive away evil. Dragon Boat Festival is also a "health festival" handed down from ancient times. On this day, people sweep the courtyard, hang mugwort, hang calamus, sprinkle realgar water, drink realgar wine, stir up turbidity, remove rot, sterilize and prevent diseases. They are considered to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and protecting the health and safety of family members.

 

 

Fifth, order realgar wine

 

Realgar is also a kind of medicinal material, which is said to kill all kinds of poisons. Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Shaanxi people will soak realgar in wine and put realgar wine on children’s ears, nose, forehead, wrists and ankles. It is said that this practice can keep mosquitoes, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos and spiders off their bodies.

 

 

Six, eat salted duck eggs

 

Eating salted duck eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival is a big custom. As the saying goes, "You have to eat salted egg zongzi to send the chill." After the Dragon Boat Festival, it indicates that the hot summer is coming, and the activities of animals and plants have entered a vigorous stage. In addition, the humid climate and the active diseases, pests and bacteria are easy to cause many diseases. Eating salted duck eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival can detoxify and help keep healthy.

 

 

The contents of the Dragon Boat Festival customs are rich and varied, including polo, grass fighting, painting, flying kites, and there are some small differences in details because of different regional cultures throughout the country.

Disrupting, swearing, playing funeral music … The intrusion of online classes in many places has attracted the attention of network police.

  Recently, the information about the invasion of online courses in many places has attracted much attention.

  According to Beijing Youth Daily, on September 5th, students of Shenyang Institute of Urban Construction, Liaoning Province were maliciously intruded by others while surfing the Internet, and swiping the screen "I love you, teacher" disturbed the classroom order. Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter noticed that students in many places in China said that they had been invaded by online classes: when students were surfing the Internet through Tencent conferences, nails and other platforms, some strangers suddenly poured into the live broadcast room, some people abused teachers and students, some people played funeral music, and even distributed obscene pornographic videos.

  Fu Jian, a lawyer of Henan Yulong Law Firm, said that in the online class, he publicly insulted others, derogated from others’ personality, and was suspected of infringing on the right of reputation, and was also suspected of violating the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment; If you distribute obscene pornographic videos, you are suspected of spreading obscene articles, and the criminal responsibility of the disseminator should be investigated according to law.

  Who’s involved?

  Some netizens set up QQ group to exchange "invasion experience"

  On September 7th, the reporter used "online class explosion" and "online class invasion" as the key words, and found on several social platforms that many netizens with domestic IP addresses said that they were inexplicably invaded by strangers during online class, and the intruders interfered with the class and made many excessive things, such as opening wheat to make noise, insulting students and teachers, playing funeral music, telling obscene jokes and distributing obscene pornographic videos. Some online classes will suddenly break into 20 or 30 people, who use the names of some online hot words or famous stars as ID names and publish some unbearable remarks.

  The reporter used "meeting" as the key word to search for groups on QQ, and immediately joined several QQ groups. The reporter found that people in QQ group often send Tencent meetings or nail the meeting number and password, and some group friends directly forward the meeting link in the group. Click on the link to see that the group name is "Meeting Room of Class Four, Grade Two" and so on.

  One of the more active groups, the group administrator often sends such a paragraph: "You can’t provoke the teacher in the live broadcast room, you can ignore the teacher. No yellowing (pictures, videos) and no abuse. Play and play, make trouble, don’t make fun of the law. "

  A group friend told reporters that he had been playing "online class invasion" for three days and shared his "experience" — — When you enter the online class, you don’t want to make pornographic pictures, swear, or go too far. You can play songs. If the teacher calls the police, you should leave the meeting quickly, so you don’t have to worry about being investigated by the police or being banned.

  In these so-called intruders’ QQ groups, friends in the group will chat and exchange information about the invasion, take pictures or videos of their own invasion and send them to the group, and some people will send online class information to the group for everyone to join … … The reporter noticed that in a QQ group of this kind, a netizen named "Xiaofei" is very active. If a netizen reminds students in the group not to invade online classes in Grade Three or Grade Three, he will speak and say, "What does it matter if they can’t get into high school and college?" He said that he had dropped out of school.

  Up to now, some QQ groups have been dissolved, and reporters have reported the remaining QQ groups one by one.

  Online students:

  It may be a classmate who leaked the meeting number and password.

  Xiao An, a sophomore in Sichuan, told reporters that he was very angry because his class was also invaded on September 5. At that time, they were having a class, and suddenly two or three people came in, forced to turn on the microphone, or played music or abused teachers and students. The intruder also said that some students in the class posted the meeting number and password on the social platform, and they saw the information before entering the conference room.

  The intruder stayed in Xiao ‘an’s class for more than 10 minutes, so the teacher had to turn off the microphones of all the staff. These people went to the chat area to insult the students. Xiao An said that the online class meeting number and password can now be searched on some social platforms, and some people leaked the information at will. In Xiao ‘an’s view, it may be students who leak information, perhaps for fun or because they don’t want to study.

  Teacher Wu, a high school teacher in a school in Sichuan, told reporters that she knew that three colleagues had been invaded while surfing the Internet through the nail platform recently. Many intruders will burst into the classroom inexplicably, either talking nonsense or talking nonsense on the public screen. In the class of one of Mr. Wu’s colleagues, dozens of people suddenly poured into the online class meeting room, all smoking with bare arms.

  Teacher Wu said that it is wrong for intruders to do this for whatever reason. She hopes that these meeting numbers and meeting passwords are not provided by students. In order to prevent the invasion of online classes, Ms. Wu also spent time studying how to take online classes. For example, she prefers to set permissions through Tencent meetings. But this also has disadvantages. If the host doesn’t notice that a student has entered the meeting, this person will not be able to attend the meeting in time.

  Public security organs:

  Attention has been paid to the phenomenon of online course intrusion.

  The reporter noticed that the network police in Shenzhen and Tianjin have voiced through Weibo, saying that they are concerned about the invasion of online classes.

  The media reporter also consulted the customer service of several online live broadcast platforms, and some customer service responded that "in this case, you can submit a report and feedback" and "no relevant complaints have been received at present. If the situation is true, the platform will ban the relevant accounts".

  The reporter noted that as early as the beginning of 2020, WeChat official account, the official WeChat of the Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, had issued a document stressing the safety of online classes. It is mentioned that all kinds of educational mobile Internet applications (referred to as educational apps) are booming, but they also increase the original security risks. The online "cloud classroom" has become an important channel for the majority of primary and secondary school students to learn online during the epidemic prevention and control period. However, some online class platforms in primary and secondary schools pop up advertisements during class, and even appear illegal and harmful information such as pornographic gambling, which seriously undermines the online education and teaching order and infringes on the physical and mental health of minors.

  The network security department of the public security organ helps the online classroom, actively cooperates with the education authorities, strengthens safety supervision according to their duties, organizes all parties to carry out safety protection, and cracks down on illegal and criminal acts according to law. The public security organs will resolutely investigate and deal with the acts of publishing and disseminating illegal and harmful information related to pornography and gambling. We will crack down on suspected criminal offences according to law, fully purify the online environment, and earnestly safeguard network security.

  Zhao Zhanling, a lawyer of Beijing Yunjia Law Firm, said that the legal liability of the participants in the online class invasion mainly depends on their specific behaviors. If the intruder insults teachers and students, it may only constitute a civil tort and infringe on the reputation rights of teachers and students. If you play obscene articles, you may be suspected of a criminal offence. It is not illegal or criminal to disturb the classroom by talking more and playing music, but it is not suitable on the moral level.

  Fu Jian, a lawyer of Henan Yulong Law Firm, said that in the online class, he publicly insulted others, derogated from others’ personality, and was suspected of infringing on the right of reputation, and was also suspected of violating the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment; If you distribute obscene pornographic videos, you are suspected of spreading obscene articles, and the criminal responsibility of the disseminator should be investigated according to law.

Cross-border small orders, global big business | LCL, LCL, and "sea charter" help cross-border e-commerce to go out and deliver quickly.

  CCTV News:The latest data shows that in the first half of this year, China’s cross-border e-commerce exports exceeded 600 billion yuan, up more than 40% year-on-year, and the total scale of cross-border e-commerce increased tenfold in five years. During the first-line investigation, the reporter found that small cross-border orders with an average of 20 to 30 dollars per order are becoming a new force for China’s foreign trade growth, and small orders have become a big global business.

  As soon as 5 pm, the staff of the e-commerce department of this enterprise in Ningbo began to get busy. In less than half an hour, the salesman Zhang Zheying received more than 20 cross-border orders.

  Although the single amount is not high, five salesmen can take about 500 orders a night. When it comes to promotion, they can take five or six thousand orders a night at most. In the first half of the year, the sales of cross-border e-commerce of enterprises increased by 65%.

  The person in charge of the enterprise told the reporter that since last year, the traditional foreign trade business has encountered problems such as rising costs and high freight rates. The increasing small orders of cross-border e-commerce have eased some of the pressure of cost growth.

  In the production workshop that the enterprise has just renovated, the reporter found that there are two devices on the production line of this water purifier that look different from other products.

  To meet the demand and seize small foreign trade orders has become the main direction for many foreign trade enterprises in Ningbo to expand their markets. However, it is an unavoidable problem for foreign trade enterprises that one case is hard to find and the freight rate is high.

  In the Ningbo Cross-border E-commerce Association, the most difficult thing in the office meeting every morning is to coordinate the shipping space.

  LCL and LCL alleviate the problem of small orders going out. In addition, the local commerce department is also coordinating foreign trade enterprises to form alliances, and adopting the way of "chartering a boat to the sea" to meet the demand of fast delivery of cross-border e-commerce.

consumer price index (CPI)

Consumer price index (Consumer price index (CPI) is a relative number that measures the price level of consumer goods and services over time, and reflects the changing trend and degree of the price level of goods and services purchased by residents. Its annual change rate is usually used to reflect the degree of inflation or austerity; CPI and its sub-indices are also important reference for calculating the real value of GDP, assets, liabilities, consumption and income.

 

The compilation method of CPI is to select representative specifications from many measurement objects, collect their price data, calculate the average price and individual price index of these representative specifications, then calculate the basic classification price index by geometric average, and then calculate the small, medium and large price indexes step by step by weighted average method until the total price index. According to the interpretation of CPI indicators by the National Bureau of Statistics, the calculation process is as follows:

 

First of all, the National Bureau of Statistics and local statistical departments determine the classification for calculation.CPI’s goods and services and survey outlets. According to the sampling survey data of household consumption expenditure of urban and rural residents in China, the National Bureau of Statistics uniformly determines the categories of goods and services, including: food, tobacco and alcohol, clothing, housing, daily necessities and services, transportation and communication, education, culture and entertainment, medical care, and other supplies and services, which basically cover all consumption contents of urban and rural residents. About 500 cities and counties were selected nationwide, and there were 63,000 survey outlets to determine the collection price, including grocery stores, department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, professional markets, specialty stores, shopping centers, farmers’ markets and service consumption units.

 

Second, according toIn the way of "fixed person, fixed point and fixed time", the statistical department sends investigators to the survey outlets to collect prices on the spot. At present, there are about 4,000 price investigators in 500 cities and counties in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The frequency of price collection varies from commodity to commodity. For the food in CPI, such as grain, pork, beef, mutton and vegetables, which are closely related to residents’ lives and have relatively frequent price changes, the price is investigated once every five days; For most industrial products such as clothing, shoes and hats, durable consumer goods, transportation and communication tools, the price is investigated 2-3 times a month; For water, electricity and other government pricing projects, the prices are investigated and verified once a month.

 

Finally, according to the original price data after the audit, calculate a single commodity or service item andPrice indices of 268 basic categories. Then calculate the category price index and CPI according to the corresponding weights of each category.

 

our countryThe weight in CPI is mainly determined according to the detailed proportion of consumption expenditure of various commodities and services of urban and rural households in China. CPI summary calculation method adopts chain pull formula to compile month-on-month ratio, month-on-month ratio and fixed base price index.

 

CPI is equal to 100, indicating that the comprehensive price has not changed during the reporting period compared with the base period; The consumer price index is greater than 100, which means that the comprehensive price rises in the reporting period compared with the base period. The higher the price index, the more the price rises. The consumer price index is less than 100, which shows that the comprehensive price in the reporting period is lower than that in the base period.

Chengdu women bought sofas for six years before picking up the goods, and the merchants paid 30,000 storage fees.

  Why is it so uncomfortable to buy a comfortable sofa?

  Sofa is an essential leisure and relaxation furniture. Such a thing was originally for comfort, but it happened to be in trouble.

  One is to extract the sofa bought six years ago, and the merchant gives a storage fee of more than 30,000 yuan; One is the sofa that I fancy the day before, and I paid for it. The next day, the merchant called and said that the price was marked wrong, so I had to make up the money … …

  In 2010, Ms. Yang, a citizen of Chengdu, bought a set of sofas in Bainian Home Plaza. Because her house was leaking at that time, she decided not to let the merchants deliver the goods for the time being. A few years passed, and in May this year, when Ms. Yang was decorating another suite, she remembered this sofa that had not been delivered. But when she contacted the merchant to deliver the goods, she was told that she had to pay more than 30,000 yuan in inventory late fees. This made Ms. Yang very puzzled: "I didn’t see where the goods were, and where did the inventory late payment fee come from?"

  The inventory late payment fee in Ms. Yang’s mouth is actually a storage fee that needs to be paid for overdue delivery. The sofa merchant said that this fee is charged according to the "five thousandths of the order amount" indicated on the order.

  Customer: after 6 years, the delivery will be made, and the merchant will pay a storage fee of 30 thousand yuan.

  In January 2010, Ms. Yang bought a set of 7,020 yuan sofas at Gujia Furniture of Kehua Store in Haobainian Home Plaza, and paid a deposit of 3,500 yuan three times on January 17, 2010 and November 14, 2011 respectively. The delivery and delivery time agreed in the order form is December 2012. "In 2012, when they called to prepare for delivery, my house was leaking, so we asked them not to deliver it for the time being." Ms. Yang said that at that time, the problem of water leakage in the renovation of old houses was not solved, so the delivery was delayed. After that, the merchants have never contacted them.

  After more than three years, Ms. Yang bought another suite. Until the beginning of May this year, she remembered that the sofa she had bought before had not been delivered, so she called the merchant to ask for delivery to the new house. "At first, because I didn’t find the order, the merchant refused to inquire and deliver the goods." In desperation, Ms. Yang and her mother searched around and finally found the order form at that time last week and found the merchant again. "Through the order form, after the merchant inquired, he said that the goods had been delivered and that the sofa we wanted had long been out of stock." Ms. Yang is very puzzled. The balance has not been paid, and we have not received the goods. How can it be "delivered"?

  Therefore, Ms. Yang asked the merchant to refund the money, but she was rejected. Subsequently, she called 12315 to make a complaint. After that, the merchant told her that the sofa was available, but she needed to settle the balance and pay the storage fee of more than 30,000 yuan generated in recent years. After learning this result, Ms. Yang was very angry. "They don’t have any goods. Where did they get the storage fee?"

  Ms. Yang said that now she doesn’t want a sofa any more, just want to get the deposit back. "If the negotiation is not good, the next step is not to rule out prosecution through legal channels."

  Merchant: The storage fee is calculated by the day according to the agreement in the order.

  On the afternoon of May 30th, the reporter from Chengdu Business Daily came to Gujia Furniture Store where Ms. Yang bought the sofa. Chen Dexue, the salesperson in charge of assisting in handling this matter, said that because the customer did not take the initiative to contact the merchant for delivery, there was no contact without knowing when the customer needed the goods. Regarding the existence of the goods that Ms. Yang suspected, Chen Dexue explained that the initial inquiry that the sofa purchased by Ms. Yang had been delivered was caused by a system error. Later, it was confirmed by the company headquarters that there was no delivery, so she proposed to Ms. Yang to settle the balance and deliver the goods.

  "But Ms. Yang’s family disagreed and asked for a refund." Chen Dexue said that when Ms. Yang paid the deposit, the merchant had already placed an order for the production of sofas with the manufacturer, and it has been kept in the warehouse at present. Because Ms. Yang has not picked up the goods for a long time, it is possible that this sofa will be moved to other customers halfway, but considering that Ms. Yang may ask for a sofa at any time, she will replenish this sofa in the warehouse in time.

  Then, Chen Dexue showed the reporter a copy of Ms. Yang’s purchase order, which clearly stated that the sofa was a special commodity and would not be returned or exchanged. As for the storage fee of more than 30,000 yuan mentioned by Ms. Yang, the company only collects it according to the order. "The order clearly indicates that the balance will be paid before delivery. If the goods are not delivered within two weeks, the storage fee will be charged at five thousandths of the total order."

  Chen Dexue said that since the order did not specify whether the five thousandths of the fee was calculated by day, month or year, the company informed him to calculate by day first, so that the delivery should be made in December 2012 according to the agreement, so from 2013 until now, the accumulated "storage fee" was about 30,000 yuan.

  12315: If the coordination is unsuccessful, judicial channels can be taken.

  Subsequently, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter found the market supervision office of the sub-district office of the South Railway Station. The staff member Cai Yun told the reporter that she had just taken over the 12315 complaint incident that day. Last week, relevant personnel had mediated Ms. Yang’s mother and representatives of Gujia Furniture, but the mediation was not successful. If the final mediation is unsuccessful, it is suggested that both parties can apply for arbitration or bring a lawsuit to the court.

  Lawyer’s statement

  Should the storage fee be charged?

  How much should I charge?

  It takes six years for the order to be delivered. Should the merchant charge a storage fee? In this regard, Chengdu Business Daily reporter interviewed relevant lawyers.

  Liu Xiu, a lawyer of Taihetai Law Firm, said that Ms. Yang’s purchase order is equivalent to a sales contract. According to the agreement in the order, it is reasonable for the merchant to ask the customer to pay the storage fee. Since there is no agreed time, it should usually be calculated based on the order amount. That is to say, five thousandths of 7020 yuan, or 35.1 yuan, is charged as the storage fee. If the storage time is long, resulting in higher costs, the merchant can file a lawsuit with the court to increase the storage fee.

  Liu Xiu said that Ms. Yang did not settle the balance within the agreed time, and it was a breach of contract to fail to deliver the goods within the time limit, and the merchant did not breach the contract, so she could not return the deposit.

  Bi Mingxiong, a lawyer of Sichuan Ruiding Law Firm, said that merchants should not charge storage fees. He believes that the goods purchased by Ms. Yang belong to ordinary furniture, not customized furniture with special requirements. The ownership of the goods has not been transferred before handover, and it still belongs to the merchant. Therefore, despite the agreement in the order, the storage fee should not be charged. Even if you want to accept it, you can only accept five thousandths of the order amount. "The order doesn’t say how much it is per day, and the literal meaning is very clear. All storage fees should be only five thousandths of the order amount."

April Sales Express: Is it difficult for car companies to fill the pit?

  [car home industry]  In the movie "shaolin soccer", A Xing, omega supreme’s leg, played by Stephen Chow, looked up and muttered "I feel that they are all back" when he saw your other disciples find their state and kill the quartet. At the beginning of this month, when some car companies announced the sales volume in April first, the reaction of the outside world was the same as A Xing’s. They thought that all car companies had recovered their status and the China auto market had returned to that era full of growth.

  However, contrary to expectations, the beauty of the past is only suitable for recollection, and it is difficult to find it back.

Home of the car

  According to car home’s incomplete statistics, 24 car companies have released April sales data, of which 11 companies still cannot achieve positive sales growth year-on-year; From the perspective of cumulative sales in 2020, only one company, FAW Hongqi, can achieve positive year-on-year sales growth from January to April, and the cumulative sales of "head car companies" such as SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling have dropped by as much as 50.4%, 47.7% and 46.7% respectively.

  Next, let’s comment on the sales performance of car companies in April.

Joint venture car companies: What about good retaliatory consumption?

  Looking at the sales performance of joint venture car companies in April, it is not difficult to find that the legendary "retaliatory consumption" has not arrived. Among the 11 joint venture car companies, only 5 can achieve positive growth in April. Unfortunately, SAIC Volkswagen and SAIC-GM, the former sales overlords, are not among them.

  As a resident player of Top 3 in China passenger car market, SAIC-GM achieved 110,002 vehicles in April, down 12.4% year-on-year, and its sales volume was lower than that of SAIC-Volkswagen, SAIC-GM Wuling and Changan Automobile. Before FAW-Volkswagen announced its sales volume, SAIC-GM had already lost the top three.

"Pioneer"

  According to Shi Hong, deputy general manager of SAIC-GM and general manager of SAIC-GM Sales Company, from February to March in 2020, SAIC-GM devoted all its energy to supporting dealers, and began to officially rush sales in April. Like other car companies, SAIC-GM also regards product offensive as the biggest magic weapon to rush sales. According to statistics, in April alone, the company launched seven new cars through "cloud listing", including many heavy models such as Pioneer and Cadillac CT4.

  In fact, for SAIC-GM, the biggest change in 2020 is not the product offensive or the organizational structure, but that this enterprise has finally abandoned the radical "all-in-one three-cylinder strategy". In April, the new Yinglang, the new Ke Lu Ze and other previous "all-in-one three-cylinder" models all launched four-cylinder engine versions. Giving up "persuasion" and catering to China consumers is the hope of SAIC-GM in 2020.

  For Changan Ford, which has been trying to revive, it is not easy to sell 20,465 new cars in April and achieve a positive growth of 38.3% year-on-year. We should know that according to the statistical caliber of Changan Automobile, Changan Ford achieved positive sales growth in only one month (December) in 2019, but after entering 2020, the company has achieved positive growth twice in January and April, which has given Changan Ford a shot in the arm.

  Since October 2018, in order to reverse the unfavorable situation in China, Ford Motor Co., Ltd. has not started to improve its position in the China market, and has listed the China market and the North American market as the company’s two core markets. Ford China directly reports to the global headquarters; Since then, Chen Anning, a veteran, has been appointed as Vice President of Ford Motor Company Group and President and CEO of Ford Motor Company China.

  In September, 2019, Ford Motor Company set up a research institute for Changan Ford to enhance its R&D capability, accelerate product upgrading and intelligent manufacturing level, and launch a revival offensive with products that are more in line with China consumers’ aesthetic and usage preferences. In the "acceleration plan" announced at that time, Changan Ford will launch more than 18 new products in the middle of 2019 -2021, including 5 new energy vehicles.

  From the perspective of sales in April 2020, Changan Ford’s self-help did work. Ruiji, which was just launched by this company at the end of 2019, surpassed Fox and Forex in April and became the "new thigh" of Changan Ford’s sales. The first model launched in the "acceleration plan" has achieved such results. After the sixth generation of explorers went on the market in June and the product offensive was officially rolled out, Changan Ford is very hopeful to turn around the crisis in 2020.

Mazda CX-30

  Changan Mazda sold 11,761 vehicles in April, a year-on-year increase of 36.8%. Unlike Mazda’s overseas painting style of "not pushing a new car for two years", Changan Mazda’s heavy product Mazda CX-30 has now started pre-sale and will be listed on May 28th. For Changan Mazda, whose product line is relatively thin and new products are launched slowly, the sales performance of Mazda CX-30 will directly determine the future development pattern of this enterprise.

China car companies: the red flag won glory this time.

  As of press time, a total of nine China auto companies announced their sales results in April, among which five companies’ sales increased year-on-year, and the overall situation was still optimistic.

  In April, SAIC-GM-Wuling won the second place in China passenger car market, only selling 200 cars less than SAIC-Volkswagen. Strangely enough, while other companies were growing month-on-month, the sales volume of SAIC-GM-Wuling declined month-on-month. From this point of view, this company may have got rid of the impact of the epidemic.

Home of the car

  Although the sales volume has achieved continuous positive year-on-year growth, SAIC-GM-Wuling has also made a lot of "blood" for this. It is reported that in order to stimulate automobile consumption, SAIC-GM-Wuling launched a total of 2 billion yuan in car purchase subsidies twice in February-April, covering all its models such as commercial vehicles, special vehicles, passenger cars and new energy vehicles; During the "May 1" period, this enterprise issued another 1.5 billion yuan travel coupons. When many enterprises reduced their costs by means of "salary reduction and layoffs", SAIC-GM-Wuling’s "retrograde" was full of enthusiasm.

  In order to further increase sales, SAIC-GM-Wuling also planned a product offensive. It is understood that the company will launch 10 new cars in 2020, of which 6 are brand-new models and 4 are new models; Wuling brand will also launch a brand-new brand strategic plan during the year. Perhaps the end of 2020 is the most fair and objective time to evaluate the sales performance of SAIC-GM-Wuling.

  BYD achieved sales of 31,809 vehicles in April, a year-on-year decrease of 15.9%; From January to April, the cumulative sales volume was 93,082 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 40.1%. Although the sales target for 2020 has not yet been announced, it is not easy for BYD to maintain the year-on-year sales even in terms of current sales results.

BYD Han 2020 EV Basic Model

"Han"

  In terms of sales structure, BYD sold 18,814 fuel vehicles in April, a year-on-year increase of 36%; 12,995 new energy vehicles were sold, down 45.9% compared with the same period last year. For BYD, the biggest attraction in 2020 is the upcoming listing in June, equipped with self-developed Ferrous lithium phosphate blade battery technology, BYD DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system and DiLink 3.0 intelligent network connection system.

  For this car, BYD executives are very confident. Zhao Changjiang, general manager of BYD Auto Sales Co., Ltd. even publicly published on social media such remarks as "Tesla’s card is finished, it’s our turn to play" and "Han has surpassed Tesla in acceleration, battery life and charging speed, and in addition, the assisted driving is at the same level". However, under the introduction of the new subsidy policy and the price drop of Model 3, Han, who has not yet been listed, is indeed facing no small challenge. Whether this car can finally break through the interception of Model 3 and lead BYD to find its state remains to be tested by the market.

  For an old brand with a new face, FAW Hongqi’s recent sales performance is excellent. In April, the company’s sales reached 14,500 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 168%; From January to April, the cumulative sales volume exceeded 39,500 vehicles, and it was the only company (as of press time) that achieved positive growth in cumulative sales volume from January to April. In this regard, Hongqi did win glory for China brand.

Red Flag H9

  However, it must be admitted that the reason why the cumulative sales volume increased year-on-year was also caused by the low sales base of FAW Hongqi. In addition, despite the rapid sales growth of this company, it has only completed one-fifth of its sales target of 200,000 vehicles so far, and 2020 is still full of pressure for FAW Hongqi.

  In terms of products, the main action of FAW Hongqi in 2020 is to bring the medium and large-sized red flag H9 designed by former Rolls-Royce design director Giles Taylor and China designer Ding Yangfeng to the market, and release the pure electric SUV red flag E115. However, considering the positioning of these two products, their prices will certainly not be too close to the people, and it is not known how much they can contribute to Hongqi’s sales target.

Luxury brand: "overlord" translocation

  Before 2019, Cadillac was the most detached existence among second-tier luxury brands, but when Lexus continued to heat up, Cadillac’s dominance of second-tier luxury brands was constantly threatened. After entering 2020, the competition in the second-tier luxury brand market suddenly escalated. Lexus officially defeated Cadillac with a total of 51,167 vehicles and became the new "overlord" in this field.

Cadillac CT4』

  Since the second half of 2019, Cadillac began to switch between new and old products. The original sales models Cadillac ATS-L and Cadillac XTS were discontinued one after another. The brand once faced the dilemma of no car to sell. However, with the launch of Cadillac CT5 and Cadillac CT4, the company’s "3+3" product layout has been formed, officially bidding farewell to the most difficult period.

Home of the car

  Compared with Cadillac, which is about to switch products, Lexus, which is currently on the "throne", is not easy. In terms of production capacity, Toyota has decided to cut the production capacity of Japanese factories by 50% in May and 40% in June. As a result, Lexus, which has not achieved domestic production, will encounter a bottleneck in production capacity supply, and this is also the best time for Cadillac to overtake.

Lexus lexus ES 2020 200 Premium Edition

"lexus es"

  Although it is impossible to compete with Cadillac and Lexus for the time being, compared with itself, Volvo’s report card in April is quite excellent, with a sales volume of 14,698 vehicles and a year-on-year increase of 21%, setting a new record for the company’s sales in China in April. The monthly sales of its main model Volvo XC60 increased by 22% year-on-year, which also set the highest monthly sales record of Volvo Cars in China market.

  Editor’s summary:More than half of the 24 car companies achieved positive sales growth in April. Although this report card is not bad, it obviously falls short of the expectation of "retaliatory consumption" from the outside world. Although compared with the first quarter, the sales performance of car companies rebounded significantly in April, it was still not enough to make up for the trauma caused by the previous decline in sales.

  However, compared with before the epidemic, the "skills" of car companies are obviously richer. They have learned how to better market and sell cars online, and also learned how to achieve win-win results and mutual benefit with dealers. As long as the car companies can continue to carry forward these "skills", it is only a matter of time before they can find their normal state and achieve further sales growth.

American newspaper reveals mysterious weapons: US military "brain-controlled weapons" have been used in actual combat.

  What the human brain thinks is the most difficult thing to guess in the world, let alone control it. The 16th edition of this newspaper reported on July 11th that the United States and Russia secretly developed "brain-controlled weapons". On November 28th in Washington post, USA, Janet Moliis, President and CEO of M2 Technology Co., Ltd. in the United States, was reported in detail about the latest development of "brain-controlled weapons".


  Implanting brain control chips to create double-faced agents


  The introduction on the website of American M2 Technology Co., Ltd. is extremely simple: "The president and CEO of the company is Janet Moliis, and the vice president and chairman is Chris Moliis; The company’s main business is the development and deployment of non-lethal weapons, providing research and development support for non-lethal weapons for the US Marine Corps, Army, Federal Bureau of Investigation, argon National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Strategic planning for providing non-lethal weapons for Marine Corps System Command and Army Combat Laboratory; Provide non-lethal weapons for the Marine Corps and the Army in actual combat. "


  In contrast to the company profile with a few words, it is the dazzling aura on the head of the female boss Janet Moliis: senior policy analyst of the US Global Strategy Committee, strategic planner of non-lethal weapons in various US government departments, congressional office, director of the project department and R&D department of the National Security Policy Committee, general adviser of the strategic deployment of non-lethal weapons in the US Army Navy and Marine Corps, member of the Pentagon’s non-lethal weapons R&D and deployment Committee, and senior anti-terrorist action consultant of the White House …


  What earned Moliis such honor was brain-controlled weapons under the banner of "non-lethal weapons".


  In the tribal areas of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, "Abdullah A" is an out-and-out fanatical militant. Although he was born in an Arab family in the United States and received higher education in the United States, he kept his mouth shut and even talked in his sleep with extreme religious language and anti-American sentiment. What he did made him the backbone of local Taliban armed forces and al-Qaeda elements. However, "Abdullah B" is a loyal American anti-terrorism agent. He continuously sends the information of Taliban militants and al-Qaeda elements in tribal areas to the headquarters, allowing the drones of the US military and CIA in Afghanistan to carry missiles, frequently causing fatal blows to terrorist organizations. Taliban armed forces and Al Qaeda have always suspected that there is an "insider" and have repeatedly examined and tested "Abdullah A", but they have not found any flaws, so that psychological warfare experts of Taliban armed forces and bases all said: "Unless Abdullah can split his personality, he can never be an American spy!"


  In fact, "Abdullah A" and "Abdullah B" are the same person, and his real identity is the American anti-terrorism agent. And let him achieve "split personality" and stand all kinds of tests, it is the brain-controlled weapon developed by M2 Technology Company led by Moliis-a microchip deeply embedded in his body. This microchip controls Abdullah’s brain thinking, so that when he faces the test of terrorist organizations, he acts absolutely like an extremist without any deviation. Abdullah himself became Moliis’s brain control weapon.


  Going into actual combat in Iraq, the enemy surrendered voluntarily.


  Moliis and her M2 company, as well as the Pentagon and the CIA, refused to comment on brain-controlled weapons, but an American news source confirmed: "Moliis’s brain-controlled anti-terrorism agents have been active in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and other parts of the world, and are playing an increasingly important role."


  Moliis’s "brain-controlled anti-terrorism agents" should be her "advanced products", and more "brain-controlled weapons" will be used against enemy personnel. According to Washington Post Military Weekly reported on November 28th, insiders of Pentagon and CIA revealed that on the evening of October 23rd, 2007, in the "triangle of death" in northern Iraq, American troops stationed in Iraq were engaged in fierce fighting with anti-American armed forces. Just as the American field commander was at a loss, the Baghdad headquarters said it would send reinforcements quickly. To the great confusion of American field commanders, only five Americans arrived by helicopter an hour later! They are technicians from Moliis Company. Under the puzzled eyes of American officers and men, technicians quickly set up an instrument the size of a desktop computer and aimed it at the anti-American armed forces. Then something happened that shocked the American officers and men-in less than five minutes, the gunfire stopped at the anti-American armed position, and then the armed men knelt on the ground, prayed devoutly, and threw their weapons out of the position to express their surrender. After preliminary interrogation of the anti-American armed forces, American commanders learned that they had just heard the voice of the "prophet" and asked them to lay down their arms and surrender together.


  The same report also said that on November 2, 2007, in Sadr City, Baghdad, the stubborn Sadr armed forces "Al-Quds Revolutionary Brigade" mysteriously abandoned their weapons and fled collectively-more than 230 armed men abandoned their checkpoints, strongholds and positions, leaving behind all kinds of weapons they regarded as their lives, radio stations, chariots and other logistics equipment, and "into thin air" overnight. The US military officers and men who fought against the "Holy City Revolutionary Brigade" confirmed afterwards that the technicians of Moliis Company had been "busy" at the scene before the incident …


  Science fiction-like "brain-controlled weapons" have brought huge profits to Moliis, and Moliis’s companies now earn "hundreds of millions of dollars" every year, all from the US war on terrorism.


  Adhering to the mantle of CIA, developing "brain-controlled weapons"


  Janet Moliis, 52, was born in Massachusetts, USA, where she grew up and completed her college education. Moliis is a sci-fi fan. In the 18 years after graduating from college, he was obsessed with the creation of sci-fi novels and published dozens of influential sci-fi works. Moliis’s father-in-law also confirmed: "She is still a very good musician, full of passion!"


  The creation and passion of science fiction gave Moliis access to the research history and related files of "brain-controlled weapons" in the United States. In 1946, President Truman secretly implemented the "paper clip project" and brought 765 German scientists, engineers and technicians to the United States, including experts in psychological warfare. In December 1947, when the National Security Council held its first meeting, JamesVincentForrestal, then Secretary of Defense, urged the CIA to start a secret war against the Soviet Union. Under this great background, CIA agents became interested in the study of how to destroy or control people’s thinking, and launched the earliest "brain control experiment". Since then, the CIA has successively carried out the research projects of "brain-controlled weapons" code-named "Bluebird", "Articek", "Ma Coutela" and "MK Research", and brought in Canada and Britain. In 1973, Richard Helms, then director of the CIA, ordered the destruction of all records of the MK research project after learning that the US Congress would investigate the research on brain-controlled weapons.


  In 1973, Moliis and her husband both joined the expert group of the American Council on Foreign Relations, which gave them the opportunity to contact the US military and intelligence agencies and vigorously peddle the concept of "non-lethal weapons". Moliis often lobbies White House policymakers and Pentagon generals: "Non-lethal weapons can defeat the enemy without universal lethality. Why not invest?" Perhaps the concept is too advanced, and Moliis’s lobbying has not been responded by American policymakers for many years.


  In 1992, Moliis met General Zinni, then commander of the Central Command. The general told Moliis about his distress: "My Somali troops often face mass incidents, such as large-scale demonstrations and mass robberies. A few gunmen are mixed in the crowd and shoot at us, but we can’t use weapons."


  Moliis, who got this information, immediately snared the relevant personnel who had participated in the research project of "brain-controlled weapons" that she saw in the declassified files, and soon sent a non-lethal weapon "sticky foam" to Admiral Zinni-an adhesive that could hold the other party in place for half an hour and could not move. In 1993, when Zinni’s troops escorted the UN peacekeeping forces into Somalia, the "human bubble" came in handy. General Zinni recalled: "I was just a little boy sticking things around, and members of Congress showed great interest. I duly let Ms. Moliis come out, and she made friends with the dignitaries on Capitol Hill. In 1995, Congress established a joint project office for non-lethal weapons, which was led by the Marine Corps, and all arms and services participated, with an annual budget of 25 million US dollars. "


  At this time, Moliis saw the business opportunity, and immediately established M2 Technology Co., Ltd. with her husband to contract the research and development projects of the Non-lethal Weapons Joint Project Department. The huge profits made Moliis Command Company quickly lock in its core research object "brain-controlled weapons". According to relevant documents, Moliis put forward a new concept of "brain-controlled weapon" on the basis of CIA research in 1998, and formally initiated the project development in 2003. Eighteen months later, he launched a portable "brain-controlled weapon" system and put it into practical test.


  What exactly is Moliis’s "brain-controlled weapon"? Relevant literature shows that human emotions need to be cloned before making brain-controlled weapons. Thousands of emotional brain wave samples in the database are analyzed by supercomputer to understand the corresponding relationship between psychological characteristics and brain wave shapes. Then, these "emotional signal strings" are stored in another computer, and these "living signals" are transmitted to the human body by radio to "silently change the emotional state of human beings", thus manipulating the psychology and emotions of the target object and affecting its actions.


  I am worried that if I don’t speed up research and development, I will be overtaken by Russia.


  However, the harm and potential threat of "brain-controlled weapons" have also aroused serious concern of scientists in various countries, because once such weapons are abused, they can fundamentally control people. Whether in private houses, public places, industrial places, or public and private means of transportation, the secretly selected subjects will be affected by the radioactivity containing chemical and biological stimuli emitted by this "mysterious weapon". After a long time, the subjects will be socially isolated and their immunity will decline, which will lead to various diseases and even death …


  In fact, the CIA’s laboratory that conducted "brain-controlled weapons" in the past had a series of lawsuits in Canada and the mainland, which gave huge compensation to some victims and damaged the reputation of the governments of the United States, Canada and Britain.


  However, Moliis, who has tasted the sweetness, doesn’t seem to mind. She often says that according to some declassified data, Russia has a "long history" in the research of brain-controlled weapons. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, while Russian talents were "poached" and a considerable number of military scientific research projects were cancelled, some top scientists and related projects related to brain control research were completely preserved. The implication is that if she doesn’t continue her research in this field, Russia will surpass the United States sooner or later. Moliis’s remarks are very effective in the increasingly tense relationship between Russia and the United States. (Special correspondent Yu Dong)
