Just "change" the battery? How can changing electricity be so simple?

  In the use of pure electric vehicles, battery problems have been bothering many consumers. The difficulty in installing charging piles, long charging time and battery decay all affect consumers’ daily experience. In order to solve these problems, the power exchange mode came into being. Especially under the impetus of the policy, this year’s electricity exchange market is more lively. Since the first power exchange station of Chang ‘an New Energy was completed in Chongqing in September this year, power exchange stations from Geely and Dongfeng have successively landed or appeared in Chongqing, Jinan, Wuhan and other cities, breaking the situation that Weilai and BAIC were "equally divided" in the previous power exchange market. However, it is worth noting that it is nothing new that the battery replacement mode has already appeared. Behind the current lively situation, the constraints of profitability and battery specifications faced by the battery replacement mode remain unresolved.

  ▼ Policy spring breeze wakes up the rivers and lakes.

  As the name implies, changing electricity means centralized storage, centralized charging and unified distribution of a large number of batteries through centralized charging stations, and battery replacement service for electric vehicles in battery distribution stations. Compared with the ordinary charging mode, the battery replacement mode can solve a series of problems caused by the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles, battery attenuation and easy spontaneous combustion, and the vehicle-electric separation mode adopted in the battery replacement can also effectively reduce the first purchase cost. This obvious advantage attracted many people to try layout more than ten years ago.

  In 2007, Israeli Xia Jiaxi founded the first operating company, Better Place, which aims at changing electricity for passenger cars. However, the mode of changing electricity needs to lay a large number of power stations as the foundation, which is undoubtedly a "bottomless pit" for burning money in the early stage of operation. In 2013, Better Place declared bankruptcy and liquidation because it was difficult to balance the investment and income of the business model. At the same time in China, Dongfeng, Zotye, Kangdi, Nanjing Automobile and other companies also put a number of operating vehicles in the mode of changing electricity into the market, but they also did not stir up a splash.

  Now, many years later, with the continuous expansion of the scale of new energy vehicles in China, the problems of charging difficulty and battery attenuation of pure electric products are becoming more and more serious. In order to solve the battery-related problems, the spring breeze of national policy has blown to the power exchange mode. In April this year, the "Notice on Improving the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles" jointly issued by the four ministries and commissions of the country clearly encouraged the development of the power exchange model; In May, after discussion and deliberation by delegates and members, the power exchange station was written into the government work report for the first time as an important part of the new infrastructure. Driven by the policy spring breeze, the domestic power exchange rivers and lakes are becoming more and more lively.

  ▼40 days, 3 car companies entered the game.

  On September 10th, the first power exchange station of Chang ‘an New Energy was officially completed in Chongqing Olympic Sports Center. As a new heavyweight contestant after Weilai and BAIC, Chang ‘an New Energy Power Exchange Station has attracted great attention from the outside world. Generally speaking, the process of changing electricity mainly covers five steps: generating an order-entering the station-changing electricity-testing-leaving the station. Prior to this, the power exchange time announced by Weilai and BAIC remained at about 3 minutes, but the appearance of Chang ‘an New Energy Power Exchange Station refreshed this data. According to public information, Changan New Energy has reduced the time from battery taking to battery loading to 30 seconds, and the whole process from vehicle entering the station to battery replacement takes only 1 minute.

  Geely Automobile also set a new record. A week after the completion of Chang ‘an New Energy Power Station, Geely Automobile’s first power station was officially unveiled at the 2020 Zhibo Fair and landed in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing. A month later, on October 18th, the second power station of Geely Automobile was put into operation in Jinan, Shandong. The data shows that Geely Power Station adopts a double-bin design, which can accommodate 39 battery packs, and can provide nearly 1000 power exchange services every day, and the power exchange time is about 90 s.

  On October 19th, Dongfeng Motor’s intelligent power exchange station was also unveiled. At the 5th Science and Technology Innovation Week, after a Fengshen E70 (parameter | inquiry) drove into Dongfeng’s intelligent power exchange station, the vehicle was transported to the operation room by the conveyor and lifted, and the battery exchange robot automatically unloaded the old battery and installed the new battery. The whole process only took about 1 minute.

  In just 40 days, the power exchange stations of the three major car companies have successively landed or appeared. Coupled with the paving of Weilai and BAIC, the prototype of the power exchange market has begun to appear. However, it is worth noting that even with the blessing of policies, the fundamental problem of the power exchange model-the contradiction between cost and profit-has not been solved.

  ▼ The contradiction between cost and profit is difficult to solve.

  In the mode of power exchange, the separation of vehicle and electricity is an important link. Compared with ordinary pure electric vehicles, the battery cost of pure electric vehicles is no longer borne by consumers, and a series of risks such as battery attenuation are also transferred to the vehicle enterprises. These benefits enjoyed by consumers mean that car companies need to invest a lot of money in building power stations and buying batteries.

  For example, Zhu Jiang, then vice president of Weilai Automobile, previously revealed that the daily operating cost of Weilai’s free power exchange was about 50,000 RMB. It has also been estimated by insiders that the average operating cost of each power station in Weilai is 400,000 yuan. From 2018 to now, Weilai Power Station has invested more than 500 million yuan. BAIC, which explored the power exchange market earlier, invested more. Wang Chunfeng, deputy general manager of BAIC Blue Valley Marketing Service Co., Ltd., said that in terms of power exchange station operation, the investment of a single power exchange station of BAIC New Energy is about 3 million yuan, but this figure is slowly declining.

  Corresponding to the high cost is the uncertainty of profit prospects. At present, the power exchange in the market is mainly aimed at two groups, one is the private vehicles of ordinary consumers, and the other is the operating vehicles represented by taxis. Weilai, Beiqi New Energy, Chang ‘an, Geely and other enterprises have changed power stations, only Weilai’s power station is aimed at private users, while the latter three are mainly for taxis and network cars. In addition, in 2018, BAIC New Energy also released a battery-changing model called EU Quick Change Edition for ordinary consumers, but few people bought it.

  In these two modes of operation, from 2018 to now, the number of power exchange orders for Weilai Power Station for private consumers has accumulated more than 1 million times. However, Weilai launched a lifetime free service for car owners, which means that the previous investment of 500 million yuan was a pure loss. Recently, however, Weilai has adjusted the policy of free power exchange: from October 12, 2020, users who pay big orders will be changed from unlimited power exchange to free power exchange for the first 6 times a month; Car owners who pay before October 12, 2020 still enjoy life-long unlimited free nationwide power exchange service. As for whether this adjustment can improve the profitability of the power station for Weilai, it still takes time to test.

  As of June this year, 187 Beiqi new energy power stations for operating vehicles such as taxis have been built and put into operation in 19 cities across the country, with a total of 4.8 million power exchanges. However, in terms of profitability, BAIC New Energy and its partner Aodong in the field of power exchange have never been publicly disclosed. Aika Automobile found out from the announcement issued by BAIC Blue Valley (6.490, 0.04, 0.62%) when BAIC New Energy increased its capital for Aodong last year that the operating income of Aodong from January to April 2019 was 3,610,800 yuan and the net profit loss was 19,122,200 yuan. This means that among all the distribution power stations of AUTO, only a few power stations operating at full capacity have achieved profitability.

  The picture shows the Aodong electric bar changing power station.

  In addition to the difficulty in making profits, consumers have also encountered many difficulties in the process of using the power exchange service. "The pure electric taxi we drive can change electricity, but there are only thirty or forty power stations in Beijing. When we are running a sports car in the city, we often encounter the situation that the car has no electricity but the battery of the power station is not enough." Master Yang, a Beijing taxi driver, told Aika Automobile. It is understood that Master Yang’s "dissatisfaction with electricity" refers to the situation that the battery in the power station is not fully charged. Generally speaking, each power station will be equipped with thirty or forty batteries, but when the power exchange vehicle exceeds the upper limit of the power exchange station, the batteries of the power exchange station will be replaced by the power exchange vehicle before they are fully charged. When Aika Automobile met Master Yang at a power station in Haidian, there were already eight taxis waiting in line to change power.

  ▼ Scale is the key to breaking the game

  "In order to optimize the power exchange experience and achieve profitability, it is not enough for enterprises to fight alone." Regarding the contradiction between high cost and profit prospect, and the "power shortage" encountered by Master Yang, an industry expert told Aika Automobile that the "power shortage" was mainly caused by the imperfect network layout of power exchange stations, and the imperfect layout of power exchange stations was caused by the excessive investment of a single power exchange station, which was difficult for enterprises to bear. Only by changing the number of power stations can the consumer experience be optimized and improved; Only when the number of electric vehicles increases, can we bring enough passengers to each power station, and the power station can achieve profitability. The two are complementary and interlocking. "

  The losses of Weilai and Beiqi New Energy Power Station prove that enterprises only serve their own products to change electricity, and it is difficult to achieve profitability. At the same time, if every enterprise invests a lot of cost to lay the power station network, it will not only be difficult for enterprises, but also waste resources for the whole society. In the expert’s view, only when the car companies combine Lian Heng in power exchange and the overall market forms a scale effect can the problem be fundamentally solved.

  Chang’ an’s mode of changing power stations is based on this idea. Aika Automobile understands that by joining hands with partners such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Aodong, State Grid and Iron Tower, Chang ‘an New Energy Power Exchange Station can support the power exchange services of seven major automobile companies such as BAIC, GAC, SAIC, FAW Hongqi, Pentium, Dongfeng Qichen, Chang ‘an and Jianghuai, which means that the power exchange station will have higher turnover rate and profitability.

  But for the whole market, this model also means a new round of competition for the right to speak. "If you want to realize the universal interchangeability of batteries in many enterprises, you must formulate a unified battery specification. Whoever formulates this specification will occupy a dominant position in the new round of power exchange market. " The expert said, "If you want to continue to develop the power exchange mode, more and more car companies will cooperate, and the standard dispute of pure electric batteries will soon appear. At the same time, this debate is not limited to car companies, and charging operators are also important players in the power exchange market. Whether this standard is customized by car companies or formulated by charging operators also determines the right to speak in the battery field. "

  In fact, despite the warmth of policy spring breeze, there are still a lot of problems for car companies to promote the development of power exchange mode. In addition to a large amount of capital investment, the cooperation between enterprises at the same level, the unification of battery specifications, the acceptance of consumers and the future dispute over the right to speak are all issues that need to be considered.

  On November 26th, the Information Office of the Ministry of Commerce held a special press conference on "Trade Logistics". Hu Suojin, deputy inspector of the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce, Wang Xuanqing, deputy inspector of the Circulation Development Department, and Shen Jinsheng, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, attended the press conference and answered questions from reporters. The record of the conference is as follows:

  Hu Suojin:Good morning, journalists and friends. Welcome to today’s special conference on trade logistics of the Ministry of Commerce. First of all, please allow me to introduce the leaders attending today’s conference: Deputy Inspector Wang Xuanqing of the Circulation Development Department of the Ministry of Commerce; Shen Jinsheng, Deputy Director of Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce. Today’s conference has three agendas: first, I will briefly introduce the overall situation of China’s trade logistics development; Second, please ask Deputy Inspector Wang Xuanqing to introduce the work done by the Ministry of Commerce in promoting and improving the construction of trade logistics system and the next consideration; The third is to invite Shen Jinsheng, deputy director of Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, to introduce the relevant situation of promoting the development of commercial logistics in Beijing. The fourth link is to communicate with reporters and friends and ask questions. Let me first introduce the general characteristics of China’s trade logistics development by establishing diplomatic relations with you.

  Commercial logistics refers to the logistics service activities related to wholesale, retail, accommodation, catering, residential services and import and export trade. It is an important part of commodity circulation, with one end connected with production and the other end connected with consumption, covering agricultural products, daily industrial products, production materials and other fields. Developing trade logistics is an important measure to ensure the economic operation of the city, residents’ life and price stability, and an important way to reduce logistics costs and improve circulation efficiency.

  China’s commercial logistics has a long history, starting from the Silk Road to communicate Chinese and Western trade in the Western Han Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that runs through the north and south in the Sui Dynasty, and Zheng He’s seven voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty. These great initiatives are important manifestations of Chinese civilization and important carriers of China’s ancient commercial logistics, which have benefited generations and have been honored to this day. In today’s world, the logistics industry has become a basic and strategic industry supporting the development of the national economy. A city can live without industry and agriculture, but it can’t live without commerce and logistics. Trade logistics is the blood of market circulation. The more developed logistics is, the more prosperous the market is, and the more dynamic the economic development is.

  In recent years, China’s economy has developed rapidly, and scientific and technological progress has changed with each passing day. Governments at all levels have paid more and more attention to the important role of trade logistics. The state has successively issued plans for the adjustment and revitalization of the logistics industry and issued "National Nine Articles" to support the development of the logistics industry. The Ministry of Commerce has also issued a series of special plans and guidance documents to promote the development of commerce and trade logistics industry and reduce circulation costs, and carried out relevant demonstration work. With the joint efforts of government enterprises and other relevant parties, China’s trade logistics has developed rapidly, with the following main features:

  First, the status of trade logistics is prominent, with great development potential.

  With the development of e-commerce information technology, traditional business flow, information flow and capital flow can be completed by virtual network, but logistics needs physical space transfer and time consumption, so it cannot be virtualized. At the same time, the socialization of China’s logistics is still not ideal, and the proportion of third-party logistics in the logistics market is less than 25% (Japan, Europe and the United States have exceeded 70%). Especially with the rapid development of online shopping, the contradictions such as relatively lagging trade logistics and insufficient investment in circulation facilities are more prominent. For example, in the past "Double Eleven", the Alipay transaction volume of Ali Group alone reached 35 billion yuan, which made the national trade logistics system under great pressure. Therefore, the focus of industrial competition has gradually turned to the competition for distribution channels. Under the situation that specialized third-party logistics can’t meet the needs, e-commerce companies such as JD.COM and Suning have set foot in logistics one after another, which has great potential for the development of commercial logistics. At the same time, under the guidance of national policies and the role of market mechanism, the work of modern logistics demonstration cities and urban distribution pilots in the circulation field have been gradually promoted in the past two years, the service system of trade logistics has been gradually improved, the service functions have been continuously enhanced, and the degree of specialization and organization has been gradually improved, which has provided strong support for the development of the circulation industry.

  Second, the innovation of business model was accelerated, and the service function was gradually expanded.

  In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other large and medium-sized cities, some commercial logistics enterprises are constantly innovating their business and service modes, providing customers with high-end logistics services such as VMI, cross-warehouse delivery, JIT, movable property financing and supply chain management, thus improving their core competitiveness. At the same time, with the start-up and use of a number of modern commercial logistics infrastructure, it will effectively promote the transformation of traditional logistics mode and improve the efficiency of urban and intercity distribution. For example, Guangdong Jiacheng Logistics Company embeds logistics services in all aspects of customers’ raw material procurement, production, sales and after-sales service, and provides overall logistics solutions and operational services based on supply chain management for Panasonic and other manufacturing enterprises, helping customers reduce logistics costs, shorten manufacturing cycle and realize "zero inventory". Guangdong Huaxin Trading Co., Ltd. develops the mode of "wholesale trade+logistics", sells more than 100 brands as agents and provides distribution services for tens of thousands of fast-moving consumer goods retail outlets. Beijing Xinfadi, Nanjing Zhongcai and other commodity distribution centers, producing areas and local wholesale markets, after construction and transformation, the capacity of goods distribution and distribution has been continuously enhanced, and cold chain logistics facilities have become new investment hotspots.

  Third, the main body of trade logistics is diversified and its scale is growing rapidly.

  With the continuous expansion of social demand for commercial logistics, modern commercial logistics enterprise groups with multiple ownership, multiple service modes and multiple levels have developed. For example, a modern logistics enterprise group transformed from traditional storage and transportation enterprises represented by COSCO and China Storage; Emerging private logistics enterprise groups represented by Baogong and Datian; Self-operated logistics groups of commercial enterprises represented by Yonghui, Chaopi and Suning Yunshang; E-commerce companies represented by JD.COM and Alibaba are involved in logistics groups; Manufacturing enterprises represented by Haier Logistics and China Railway Logistics separate logistics business groups; Agricultural products wholesale markets represented by Beijing Xinfadi and Nanjing Zhongcai expand logistics groups.

  Fourth, the application level of information technology has been continuously improved, and the functions of the service platform have begun to show.

  Most commercial logistics enterprises have upgraded transportation equipment, storage facilities and information systems, and promoted the application of advanced information technologies such as the Internet of Things, which has significantly improved efficiency and benefits, especially the innovation of open information service platforms, which has promoted the sharing of logistics resources and improved the degree of organization and standardization of commercial logistics. For example, China Logistics in Beijing, Lujiao Center in Shanghai, Lin ‘an Logistics in Guangdong, etc. have well adapted to the needs of the rapid development of commerce and trade services and the upgrading of residents’ consumption, and played a positive role in promoting commerce and trade prosperity, serving people’s livelihood, improving consumption environment, promoting the upgrading of circulation mode and transforming the mode of economic development.

  While achieving the above achievements, we should also clearly see that the overall development level of China’s commercial logistics is still relatively backward, which is not suitable for the needs of economic and social development and the upgrading of residents’ consumption. In the past, we didn’t know enough about the logistics industry and paid enough attention to it. We paid more attention to logistics supply, such as infrastructure construction, transportation tools, etc., and didn’t cultivate enough facilities’ functions, model innovation, technology application and industrial integration. The problems of high logistics cost and low efficiency were more prominent. According to the survey, the "last mile" price increase of vegetables in Beijing from Xinfadi wholesale market to community retail stores is about four times that from Shouguang, Shandong to Xinfadi, Beijing! Of course, it is not entirely the logistics cost, but also other costs, but the rising cost of logistics is indeed in a state of sudden rise. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce online shopping, the problem of "last mile" distribution is difficult and expensive is more prominent. These conditions show that it is urgent and arduous for China to comprehensively improve the development level of trade and logistics industry, and there is still a long way to go, which requires all parties concerned to work together and make arduous efforts.

  Next, please ask Wang Xuanqing, deputy inspector of the Circulation Development Department of the Ministry of Commerce, to introduce some practices and considerations of the Ministry of Commerce in promoting and improving the construction of trade logistics system.

  Wang Xuanqing:Dear journalists and friends, I am very happy to communicate with you. Next, I will give a briefing to reporters and friends on the work of the Ministry of Commerce in developing trade logistics in recent years and the next consideration.

  Next, I would like to give you an introduction on the business logistics work carried out by the Ministry of Commerce in recent years and the next consideration.

  First, the work and achievements of our department in promoting trade logistics

  In recent years, in accordance with the spirit of the relevant planning and guidance documents, our department has carried out a series of work in promoting the development, transformation and upgrading of the trade and logistics industry, including:

  (A) to open up a new situation in trade logistics. Since the beginning of this year, Vice Premier Wang Yang of the State Council has given important instructions on logistics work many times, especially on October 25th this year, he personally presided over a symposium on logistics work in some cities to study and deploy the work. Mayors of 16 cities and responsible comrades of commercial departments and relevant departments in the State Council attended the meeting. Vice Premier Wang Yang put forward six key tasks on trade logistics: First, promote the construction of logistics standardization and improve the efficiency of logistics operation; The second is to build a logistics credit system and optimize the market environment; Third, improve the level of logistics informatization, integrate resources with information technology and build a multi-level service platform; Fourth, implement policies to encourage the development of the logistics industry and coordinate and solve bottlenecks; The fifth is to speed up the development of urban logistics distribution and solve the problem of "last mile" distribution being difficult and expensive; Sixth, encourage the development of third-party logistics enterprises and improve the level of specialization, socialization and scale. Vice Premier Wang Yang’s speech pointed out the direction and put forward clear requirements for us to do a good job in business logistics in the coming period. To this end, on November 12 this year, the Ministry of Commerce held a national conference on trade and logistics to deploy related work.

  (two) to formulate development plans and issue guidance documents. In March 2011, the Ministry of Commerce, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Supply and Marketing Corporation, issued the Special Plan for the Development of Commercial Logistics. This is the first special plan to guide and promote the development of China’s commercial logistics. It puts forward the goal of initially establishing a modern commercial logistics service system by 2015, and defines nine key tasks, such as improving the layout, enhancing the level of specialization, strengthening innovation and developing science and technology. In 2012, the State Council issued "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Circulation System and Accelerating the Development of Circulation Industry", which further established the basic and leading position of circulation industry including logistics in the national economy, clarified the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism of nationwide circulation led by the Ministry of Commerce, strengthened coordination, guidance, supervision and inspection of circulation work, and timely studied and solved major problems in the development of circulation industry.

  (three) to carry out the demonstration of modern logistics city in the circulation field. In 2011, the Ministry of Commerce identified 46 modern logistics demonstration cities in the circulation field throughout the country. In recent years, the development of logistics industry in 46 demonstration cities has been highly valued and supported by local governments, the investment in urban logistics infrastructure construction has increased, the construction of public logistics information service platform and trading platform has been accelerated, and the level of logistics specialization, informationization and automation has developed rapidly. While developing urban logistics, all localities give full play to the radiation function, provide services for industrial products going to the countryside and agricultural products entering the city, and promote the development of rural logistics construction. 

  (D) Promote urban distribution through comprehensive pilot of modern service industry. Since 2011, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments have carried out comprehensive pilot work of modern service industry in eight provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Liaoning and Tianjin in three batches. Eight provinces and cities have taken urban logistics distribution as an important field of pilot work and given support. Through the pilot work, the working system and mechanism of promoting the development of modern service industries such as modern logistics in various places have been improved, the development level of the industry has been improved, and a good demonstration effect has been produced. In particular, Beijing carried out "direct mining and direct supply" of agricultural products, Shanghai explored innovative cities for joint distribution, promoted secondary production with tertiary production, and promoted the linkage development of secondary production and tertiary production. Liaoning manufacturing owners assisted in separating and expanding logistics entities, and achieved remarkable results. For example, the "56135" logistics service platform of Shanghai Land Freight Trading Center has more than 100,000 members, publishing 800,000 effective messages every day and matching 120,000 transactions every day. The average logistics cost of member enterprises is half lower than the national average and close to the international level.

  (five) to carry out urban joint distribution pilot. In June 2012, the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Application and Joint Distribution of Modern Logistics Technology" was issued, and the first batch of nine cities were selected to carry out comprehensive pilot projects of modern logistics technology application and joint distribution, giving financial support; In December 2012, the "Guidelines for the Development of National Urban Distribution" was issued to provide guidance and reference for local work. In 2013, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance brought the work of urban joint distribution into the pilot scope of modern service industry, and identified 15 pilot cities, which made the work more in-depth. For example, Beijing "City 100" logistics company, Shanghai agriculture, industry and commerce, etc., rely on stores to carry out "online booking and store collection", integrate the "last 100 meters" of community end distribution, and expand value-added services; Shanghai Bailian established a pallet recycling system, Wuhan promoted "electronic food boxes" and Guiyang established a green distribution fleet, which played a good role in demonstrating radiation.

  (six) to strengthen the guidance and management of the warehousing industry. In 2012, the Ministry of Commerce issued "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Transformation and Upgrading of Warehouse Industry", aiming at promoting the overall needs of modern commodity circulation system construction and trade logistics, and guiding the development of warehouse industry in the direction of informationization, standardization and standardization. And formulated two industry standards, namely, the service standard of chattel pledge supervision and the evaluation index of pledge supervision enterprises, to guide the development of financial logistics norms.

  (seven) to carry out basic work such as statistics, standards and research. In recent years, the Ministry of Commerce has vigorously promoted basic work such as domestic trade circulation standards and statistics, including the logistics industry, and issued 24 logistics-related standards, and related standards such as urban distribution and service platforms and warehousing will be released soon. At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce has carried out special research on the development status of China’s logistics industry, the total cost of social logistics, and the reduction of logistics costs, and established the system of focusing on logistics enterprises and focusing on business functional areas, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of trade logistics.

  Second, the next key work
  
  On October 25th, Vice Premier Wang Yang of the State Council hosted a symposium on logistics in some cities. On November 12th, the Ministry of Commerce held a national conference on trade logistics to make arrangements for trade logistics. According to the instructions of Vice Premier Wang Yang, in the next step, from the perspective of trade logistics, our department will focus on the following tasks:

  (1) Strengthen the construction of logistics standardization. The Ministry of Commerce, together with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, Standards Committee, Ministry of Finance and other departments, is conducting research on how to establish a standard system for commercial logistics, speeding up the formulation and revision of standards, increasing the application and promotion of standards, and studying the construction of a standardized pallet recycling system. Where conditions permit, it can be carried out in advance, and combined with the actual situation in the region, formulate policies to guide enterprises to speed up the application of standards, and recommend local standards and enterprise standards with mature application, advanced level and suitability for promotion to rise to industry standards.

  (B) improve the level of logistics information. Encourage the orderly development of enterprise business information service platforms. By integrating and allocating logistics resources through the platform, we can solve the asymmetric contradiction between supply and demand of logistics, realize lean and visual management, and provide efficient, convenient, honest and safe logistics services. Conditional areas can coordinate with relevant departments, explore the integration of the existing public information of transportation, industry and commerce, taxation, customs and other departments and make it public, so as to enhance service quality, improve logistics efficiency, realize resource sharing from the region to the whole country and from the government to enterprises, and provide favorable conditions for the vast number of commercial logistics enterprises to expand their business scale and region and reduce transaction costs.

  (3) Encourage the development of specialized and socialized logistics. Specialization and socialization are the development directions of commerce and trade logistics in the future. It is necessary to support the transformation and upgrading of traditional commercial materials storage and transportation enterprises, and develop into a modern commercial logistics distribution center and a professional and large-scale direction. Guide industrial and commercial enterprises to change the traditional management mode of "big and complete, small and complete", deepen and refine the professional division of labor, implement the separation of main and auxiliary, and promote the marketization and socialization of logistics. Encourage the development of embedded third-party logistics that embeds logistics services into all aspects of procurement, production, sales and after-sales service of manufacturing enterprises and has the ability to integrate supply chains. Encourage the development of e-commerce logistics that relies on e-commerce platform and combines online and offline. Encourage the development of agricultural products logistics, and form a variety of production and marketing convergence modes such as agricultural batch docking, agricultural supermarket docking, and direct supply and direct sales.

  (four) continue to carry out the demonstration work of urban logistics distribution. On the basis of the pilot project of urban distribution carried out by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance, relevant demonstration work will continue. First, we should optimize the layout of urban distribution network. Increase support for the construction of urban logistics distribution centers and terminal outlets to solve the "last mile" distribution problem. Second, we must actively develop a variety of distribution methods. Support e-commerce enterprises to actively develop offline pick-up points and promote various distribution methods such as "online booking store pick-up" and "automatic container pick-up". Accelerate the development of joint distribution, promote enterprises to strengthen horizontal alliance and realize benefit sharing. Encourage and advocate chain operation, support enterprises to develop unified procurement, unified warehousing and unified delivery, and improve the centralized distribution rate. Third, we should improve the development environment of urban logistics distribution. We are actively studying with relevant departments to promote the introduction of guiding opinions to promote the development of trade logistics.

  (five) to guide the development of industry norms. The trade and logistics industry has always been a difficult point in rectifying the market order. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of business credit system, strengthen the integration and disclosure of credit information, establish and improve the incentive and punishment mechanism, increase the cost of enterprise dishonesty, and guide the behavior of market participants. It is necessary to give full play to the leading role of commercial departments in standardizing market order and breaking regional blockades and industrial monopolies, strengthen overall coordination, and severely crack down on unfair competition and illegal business practices.

  (6) Coordinate and implement various support policies. In recent years, in order to support the healthy development of the logistics industry, the State Council has issued a series of support policies in finance, taxation, land and vehicle management, and achieved good results. Of course, some policies have not been fully implemented, and the "reform of the camp" has not been launched for a long time, and the effect has not yet fully appeared, and even the tax burden of some enterprises has risen. For the policies that have not been implemented in the field of trade logistics, the Ministry of Commerce will carefully sort out and analyze the reasons, strengthen horizontal communication and coordination, and put forward policy suggestions in time.

  Hu Suojin:Thank you, Deputy Inspector Wang. Let’s invite Director Shen of Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce to introduce the development of commercial logistics in Beijing.

  Shen Jinsheng:I am very glad to have the opportunity to briefly introduce the development of Beijing urban logistics, especially commercial logistics, to you today through the platform of the Ministry of Commerce. As the leader of the Ministry said just now, logistics is not only a basic industry, but also a leading industry in the whole economic and social system. At the same time, it is a compound industry that integrates facilities, information, management and many other factors. As a mega-city with a population of more than 20 million in Beijing, urban logistics, especially commercial logistics, plays a very important and irreplaceable basic role in ensuring the normal operation of the city.

  Over the years, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have attached great importance to the development of the logistics industry according to the requirements of the State Council. Generally speaking, among the main economic indicators related to the logistics industry in Beijing, one is the total social logistics, the other is the total operating income of the logistics industry, plus the added value created by the logistics industry, all of which have shown a sustained and steady growth trend. At the same time, the proportion of total logistics cost to GDP, which is recognized by the world as an indicator of the efficiency and level of logistics development, has been decreasing continuously in recent years. Despite the pressure of rigid rising industry costs in recent years, the total cost as a percentage of GDP I just mentioned was 15.1% in Beijing in 2012, which was 0.4 percentage points lower than that in 2010 and 2.9 percentage points lower than the national average. This shows that the intensive degree and operational efficiency of Beijing’s logistics industry have been continuously or steadily improved.

  In the process of the development of the logistics industry, Beijing has carried out a lot of related work in the following aspects:

  First, strengthen planning guidance. At the beginning of the 11th Five-Year Plan, Beijing issued the city-wide logistics development plan for the first time. This year, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for the development of the logistics industry was also released. In the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, Beijing clearly put forward that the overall pattern of capital logistics development is called "three rings, five belts and multiple centers". It is clearly stated in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan that Beijing should devote itself to building a three-dimensional modern logistics system with wide coverage. If we summarize the industrial characteristics or the macro layout and trend of Beijing’s logistics development, there are a few words: First, the general purpose of Beijing’s logistics development, according to the positioning of the capital city and the mega-consumption city, is called facilitating the people, benefiting the people, promoting development, serving the whole country and radiating the world, which has both basic functions and open requirements. From the content of industrial development, we should strive to build an urban efficient and intensive logistics system based on the operation guarantee of mega-cities, with professional logistics system and socialized third-party logistics as the backbone and international logistics and logistics headquarters economy as the characteristics. Beijing’s logistics can be summarized in just a few words.

  After the implementation of these two five-year plans, Beijing’s logistics and industry have made remarkable progress in the facilities construction of logistics nodes, the rational layout of logistics channels and the construction of terminal logistics facilities, and also greatly improved the service function and emergency response ability of the urban logistics system. In the field of business circulation, it is manifested in several aspects: First, the unified distribution rate of commercial chains in Beijing continues to increase, and the current unified distribution rate of commerce is probably over 80%. The unified distribution rate of commerce in suburbs and towns also exceeds 60%, and the unified distribution rate index also reflects the degree of organization and intensification of a city’s commercial development. Second, great progress has been made in the construction of cold chain logistics system and facilities involving people’s livelihood, especially in recent years. At present, the total storage capacity of cold storage in Beijing has reached 800,000 tons, and the per capita storage capacity has reached 40 kilograms. Frankly speaking, this figure is much lower than that of developed countries, but this figure should be seen in our country, and such a proportion is far ahead of the national level. Third, rapid progress has been made in the construction of some specialized logistics systems, especially those closely related to the daily life of urban residents, such as medical logistics. Through the continuous introduction of new technologies in the logistics field, including the construction of related facilities, Beijing has basically realized the visual monitoring and traceability of the whole process from inventory to hospital beds, which is closely related to the life, health and safety of citizens. As the capital, books in Beijing have advantages, and large cultural and publishing institutions are concentrated.Beijing’s annual distribution capacity in the book market has reached 300 million copies a year, and it has built the largest distribution center for books and publications in China and even in Asia. Fourth, the diversified logistics service model has supported the development of some emerging retail formats such as e-commerce. Due to the characteristics of Beijing, the activity of e-commerce in Beijing, especially B2C, is still in a leading position in China, and six of the nine B2C enterprises with relatively large national rankings are headquartered in Beijing. National e-commerce accounted for 6.8% of the total sales, and Beijing accounted for about 10.5% from January to September this year, maintaining a growth rate of 43.5%. Adapting to the rapid development of e-commerce, it requires diversified logistics service modes to solve the "last mile" problem of logistics development and distribution. In recent years, Beijing has also made a lot of explorations in these areas and achieved good results.

  Second, we should strengthen policy guidance. In addition to releasing the five-year industrial development plan, Beijing has successively issued the implementation plan for the adjustment and revitalization of Beijing’s logistics industry in recent years, and implemented the State-run document. Beijing has also issued a series of policy documents, such as Beijing’s implementation opinions on policies and measures to promote the healthy development of the logistics industry, which has taken the lead in realizing the same price of electricity, gas and heat in the logistics industry as industrial enterprises in the country, creating a good environment for the development of industries and enterprises.

  At the same time, the commercial department has also strengthened the guidance and support of government financial funds for the development of logistics industry. Since 2002, Beijing has devoted special funds from commercial circulation to support the development of urban commercial logistics industry. One of the directions we support is the construction of key logistics facilities related to people’s livelihood, and the other is the construction of logistics informatization, which also includes the application of advanced technology in the logistics industry. In particular, the construction of major agricultural products circulation facilities has always been the focus of policy guidance and support of the commercial sector.

  Third, encourage innovation in the logistics industry and the application of new technologies. First, in the field of urban logistics joint distribution, in recent years, through continuous exploration, "one hundred cities" has emerged, which is characterized by solving the last 100 meters or the last kilometer. In terms of joint distribution of agricultural products, we have established a direct purchase alliance of agricultural and sideline products, hoping to apply the concept of logistics joint distribution to the circulation of agricultural products. Second, by establishing a public information service platform and solving the problem of information asymmetry to improve the operational efficiency of the logistics industry itself, it is actually an effective connection between supply and demand. For example, there is a platform in Beijing at present, that is, the Logistics China Platform, which has a market share of more than 95% in the trunk bulk logistics market around Beijing, and more than 20,000 transactions are made by this platform every day. It should be said that this is a good or good performance. At the same time, there are some public service platforms in Beijing, such as e-commerce supporting cross-border logistics, also known as international logistics information platform, and logistics finance to solve the problem of recycling funds deposited from bulk products in the logistics field, so as to solve the effective use of warehousing resources. The use of information has played a very good role in improving the efficiency of the industry. Third, we should actively support and guide the logistics field to improve the efficiency and benefit of enterprise and industry development through new technologies or new organization and management. At present, in Beijing, especially in key enterprises, new technologies such as rapid decomposition RFID of visual goods in the Internet of Things are being widely used.I also believe that it will provide new impetus and support for the next rapid development of Beijing’s logistics industry. Thank you.

  Hu Suojin:Thank you, Director Shen. Let’s go to the last link, please ask reporters and friends questions.

  Economic Information Daily:Excuse me, Deputy Inspector Wang, just now you introduced that urban logistics distribution is the focus of the next step. Can you tell me what are the main outstanding problems of urban logistics distribution now? What has the Ministry of Commerce done to solve the outstanding problems? Thank you.

  Wang Xuanqing:The outstanding problems in urban logistics distribution are now concerned by the media and all walks of life. Cities are the gathering places of population, production and consumption, especially in mega-cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Urban logistics is mainly embodied in trade logistics, which is the "last mile" logistics activity for residents’ consumption and industrial and commercial enterprises, and it is very active and accounts for a relatively high proportion. It is precisely because of these characteristics of the city and the laws of urban logistics operation that the current urban logistics distribution is facing outstanding problems. The problems of urban logistics distribution can be summarized as "three difficulties and two more": difficulty in passing, difficulty in parking, difficulty in loading and unloading, excessive fees and fines. Due to the pressure of traffic management in cities, urban road resources and traffic resources are generally prior to public passenger transport and car passenger transport. There are many restrictions on freight vehicles entering the city, such as time limit, vehicle types and permits. It is precisely because of many restrictions that it is difficult to pass. In addition, the parking space of trucks is larger than that of passenger cars, and the problem is more prominent. In the process of entering the city, all relevant departments have relevant requirements for the management of freight vehicles, and there are many controls, so the fees are too high, and there are often fines. These problems involve many management departments, and the difficulty of coordination is also relatively great. What’s more, there are many small and medium-sized companies engaged in urban logistics, and the personnel are complicated, which brings certain difficulties to management, and some of them have vicious competition and integrity problems.

  I have introduced some of the work done by the Ministry of Commerce, and it also involves this aspect. For example, one is to pay attention to planning. In 2011, our Ministry, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Supply and Marketing Corporation, issued the Special Plan for the Development of Commercial Logistics, which has special plans and requirements. In addition, we have formulated 24 related standards. Then we should focus on mode innovation. It is precisely because urban distribution faces the above characteristics, on the one hand, it is the improvement of management, on the other hand, for enterprises, it is necessary to explore some new modes, reduce the idling of freight vehicles, improve handling efficiency, etc., so we focus on mode innovation and solve the problems of difficult and expensive distribution through mode innovation. Among the 9 pilot cities of joint distribution last year and 15 this year, the focus is on the "one-to-many" unified distribution, centralized distribution and joint distribution service mode, changing the traditional mode of self-distribution by enterprises and implementing socialized distribution, such as the "City 100" mode introduced by Director Shen, such as the "online booking and store taking" mode of online shopping and physical store cooperation introduced by me earlier, and integrating resources and intensive resources through unified centralized distribution by third parties, reducing the number of vehicles entering the city.

  The third is to grasp the integration of information, which is very important to rely on information and the logistics information service platform I introduced earlier. One of the most important ways to solve the problem of information asymmetry in car search, car search, warehouse search and warehouse search at present is to establish an information platform. Through the information platform and informatization means, information can be released and transactions can be made on the platform, which can make the supply and demand sides dock as soon as possible and solve the problem of goods and cars docking.

  The fourth is to promote standards, not only the problem of urban distribution, but also the problem of non-uniform standards in the whole logistics operation. Because of the non-uniform standards or the incomplete application of the formulated standards, it is difficult to play the integration level of logistics operation, making it difficult to play the characteristics of integrated logistics operation and network operation, and it is also difficult to intensive resources. Earlier, I cited the example of pallet, which is the core link in the whole logistics operation. The small pallet is more than one square meter, but it affects the whole logistics operation. Because of the nonstandard pallet, it is difficult to standardize the shelves related to it, the relevant loading and unloading equipment, and the nonstandard pallet is not easy to match the vehicle when loading, which leads to a series of problems such as the insufficient use of the loading space of the truck. The root standard is the existing product packaging problem, and the standardization of packaging is a very root problem. If the product is designed according to the prescribed mode, it can be well matched with the standard pallet, and the standard pallet can be matched with the standard vehicle, so that the number of handling and unloading can be reduced and the efficiency of loading can be improved, which is also our next step.

  China Daily:Excuse me, Director Shen, just now you mentioned the "last mile" problem. There are many reports on the "last mile", which is the difficulty of distribution. Just now you mentioned that Beijing’s logistics development is better than that of the whole country. What are your experiences and opinions? How to solve the "last mile" problem?

  Shen JinshengThe "last mile" and "last hundred meters" are a big problem in urban logistics distribution. If we disassemble the cost structure of the enterprise in detail, we will find that the "last mile" consumes a large proportion of manpower, time and expenses in the whole enterprise. In recent years, Beijing’s commercial departments are also actively exploring and promoting how to solve the "last mile" problem through the application of new technologies or new service formats and service innovations. We are actively exploring the new service format of "last mile" distribution. If you walk around the urban area of Beijing or some relatively large communities and communities, you will find a signboard called "City 100", which has now become an influential brand enterprise with "last 100 meters" distribution. It means to concentrate the business of many enterprises in the last 100 meters on him through equal cooperation between enterprises; Many people experience the terminal of express delivery in their daily life as a stall, and some of them are similar to visiting prison. They send it in through the iron gate, concentrating the "last 100 meters" business of many enterprises in one enterprise, and intensively and intensively utilizing enterprise resources through the mode of joint distribution.

  The starting point of this model is conducive to the improvement of the efficiency of the industry itself, and it is a problem of improving efficiency to take out the most time-consuming and laborious piece for everyone to promote together. Second, it’s convenient for residents. It turns out that they are all tourists. If you buy something online and want a courier to come to your home, many people may not feel at ease, or even if you make an appointment to wait at home at one o’clock, if I arrive half an hour late in the traffic jam and you go out again, then I will come again in the afternoon, which is tantamount to a waste of manpower. Through the intensive form, tourists are turned into sitting merchants, which is equivalent to setting up such a fixed site in a large community or university for the concentrated distribution demand of the last 100 meters, that is, turning it into the mail room of the university or community, whether you pass by to work or your family helps you get it. This is an innovation in format or service mode. Third, it has changed the image of our industry, unified service standards and standardized corporate image. After working in this community for a long time, you, this site and your employees have become an integral part of the community residents, and the mutual trust between enterprises and clients can be improved. It should be said that it is a win-win model from efficiency and benefit to social effect. At present, this model has more than 170 sites in Beijing. By the end of this year, we plan to get 200 sites. According to the current service level, it can directly serve 1,000 communities or universities, with a population of more than 5 million.

  The second is to actively guide and encourage the integrated utilization of existing resources, such as encouraging businesses in some communities to make use of their idle resources and open them up as workplaces for the last 100 meters of logistics or to provide such services. In the future, many community business centers will gradually be transformed into service centers in cities. Besides selling some things, they will also be loaded with a variety of service functions, which will really make them become community residents or assistants and helpers in their lives. This is also an important measure to improve the convenience of citizens’ lives and solve the problem of centralized utilization of resources.

  The third is to fully rely on the development of new technologies, especially the technology of mobile commerce, so that logistics, capital flow, information flow and business flow can be truly integrated through the technical means of mobile commerce, which will also help solve the last 100 meters problem in the distribution process.

  The fourth approach is that we actively encourage and promote some traditional commercial enterprises, including other types of enterprises, to transform and upgrade in the process of urban development, and actively join the content of residents’ service, which is the organic integration of online and offline, and provide solutions to the problem of solving the last 100 meters of distribution, which is also the focus of the next development of commercial departments in this field.

  International Business Daily:I’d like to ask Director Shen. You just mentioned that Beijing has set up a direct purchase and direct supply alliance for agricultural products distribution. Please tell us something about this. What problems have you encountered? What are the plans for the next step? Thank you.

  Shen Jinsheng:This has been going on for more than a year. At the end of last year, under the guidance of the Beijing Municipal Government, people in the industry, the suppliers and demanders of agricultural and sideline products, including colleagues from the business circles in the whole industrial chain in distribution processing, set up a direct purchase and direct supply alliance of agricultural products voluntarily and for mutual benefit. What I just introduced is the last mile or the last hundred meters, which is aimed at individual consumers. Compared with Beijing, there are many group consumers besides individuals, such as the Ministry of Commerce, CCTV and Beijing Daily. You are a big unit, with at least canteens, and many institutions have canteens. Similarly, there are demands for agricultural and sideline products. The realistic mode is that no matter how big or small the company needs, he sends people to the new place to buy vegetables himself every morning, such as how much carrots and white radishes are needed, and he may pick and choose and finally buy them back with only 1/3, 1/2 or 1/5 of the car. The starting point of establishing this alliance is to solve the group’s needs for agricultural and sideline products. Through the producers of agricultural and sideline products, that is, vegetable growers, agricultural cooperative organizations and third-party logistics service providers, including decomposition and distribution processing, as well as transportation and distribution, plus the group customers of the terminal are integrated into a platform, and through information means, such as what goods and how much they need to purchase in the canteen of Beijing Daily tomorrow, a professional third-party logistics service provider will place an order on the information platform the next day.In this way, several problems have been solved: First, the problem of empty driving of urban vehicles in Beijing has been solved. Originally, a cart was needed to pull 200 kilograms and 300 kilograms. Now, with professional distribution, a car may meet the service needs of several large customers nearby at the same time, thus solving the problem of intensive use of vehicles. Second, through information technology, these products produced by agricultural cooperative organizations may be assembled in Beijing, may not enter the Beijing market, or may be around. If your demand is relatively large, the goods provided by farmers just meet your needs, or may be directly delivered to your unit, which will be of positive help to further simplify the circulation link or smooth the logistics channels. This attempt has been made for more than a year. Now there are about 900 upstream and downstream member units participating in this alliance, and the daily distribution scale can reach about 1.2 million kilograms. Now the annual transaction volume is about 1.5 billion, which has played a very good role, or as a new logistics service model exploration, it has solved the problem of logistics joint distribution of group customers, which is a new attempt.

  If there are any problems, such a new service format and mode still need to be gradually familiar and accepted by all sectors of society, or how to further expand it, and better integrate the common logistics and distribution needs of social groups through information platforms, which is the focus of the next development. How to make the function of this platform solve the direct connection between supply and demand from now on, and further increase or broaden the service content, including the construction of agricultural and sideline products information platform, whether the accumulated customer resources, including the previous transaction scale, can gradually have the ability to find the price of some agricultural and sideline products, how to better integrate more agricultural production resources, and provide diversified and layered consumer demand satisfaction options for the Beijing market, these are the next new models, which are being further explored.

  China economic herald:Is there foreign capital involved in the logistics industry? What is the situation of foreign investment in our logistics industry? Thank you.

  Wang Xuanqing:The logistics industry is also the logistics of ordinary goods, and it is a field with a high degree of opening to the outside world. Moreover, it is not a recent thing for foreign-funded enterprises to enter China. For example, in the express delivery industry, FedEx, DHL, Holland Tiandi and so on have basically come in. In recent years, there have been a lot of entry into warehousing real estate, such as Pross, which is familiar to everyone, and Amber. Enterprises with foreign investment backgrounds have entered our domestic market one after another. The entry of these foreign-funded enterprises is of positive significance to the improvement of the overall logistics industry, the introduction of new technologies and some new management models. As far as industrial policy is concerned, they are still encouraged to develop. Of course, in the process of development, I also hope that my national enterprises will gradually develop and grow up in the process of learning from foreign-funded enterprises, such as express delivery. In the past, foreign capital basically occupied a large market, but in recent years, express delivery enterprises such as SF Express and Three Links and One Reach have developed very fast, especially SF Express. Now, the annual turnover exceeds 20 billion to 30 billion, and I have my own airline and about 30 cargo planes, so I can compete with foreign-funded enterprises in terms of volume.

  Radio China International:I have a question for Deputy Inspector Wang. Just now, you introduced the situation of urban logistics distribution. Please talk about the reasons and performance of the higher overall logistics cost in China. Thank you.

  Wang Xuanqing:The overall logistics cost in China is relatively high, which is also widely discussed, and there are many reports in the media. It is very important for China to reflect the logistics indicators as a whole. Compared with GDP, the total cost of social logistics has been maintained at around 18% for many years. It was higher in previous years, reaching a peak of 24% in 1991, and now it is basically maintained at around 18%. The decline in recent years is not obvious. In terms of performance, the total cost of social logistics is on the high side, and the ratio with GDP is relatively high, which is a performance on the one hand.

  On the other hand, from the perspective of structure, logistics costs, storage costs and management costs are higher in proportion, which also reflects that the operation level of the whole logistics is still relatively extensive. There is a figure. In 2012, the total logistics cost in China was 9.4 trillion, and the ratio with GDP was 18%, which was 6.8 percentage points higher than the world average in that year. We are not only higher than developed countries, for example, the United States is 8.5%, Japan is 8.7%, and Germany is 8.3%. Compared with the BRICS countries whose economic development level is basically the same as ours, we are also higher, India is 13%, we are 5 percentage points higher than him, and Brazil is 11.6%, which is about 7 percentage points higher than him.

  From a structural point of view, the gap in management costs is larger. For example, according to the statistics in 2012, the proportion of transportation costs to GDP is 1.7 times of the average level of developed countries, which is higher, but not too high. The storage cost is 2.2 times higher, but the management cost is 6.9 times higher. In terms of management fees, we are more prominent. These performances show that the logistics industry as a whole has not got rid of the extensive development model, and there are many reasons. I will point out a major basic reason. Objectively speaking, this is related to the economic development stage and industrial layout of our country. We are still in the stage of heavy chemical industry, and the industrial layout is characterized by the fact that most energy and resource products are in the western region and the northern region, and most of the processing industry markets are in the eastern and southern regions. There are many long-distance and low-value bulk commodities transported in large spans, which inevitably leads to higher overall freight volume and freight turnover. In 2012, China’s freight volume was 41.32 billion tons, and freight turnover was 17.3 trillion tons kilometers, both of which are very large, ranking first in the world. Compared with developed countries, the freight volume and turnover of goods per unit of GDP are much higher. For example, in 2009, the turnover of goods per unit of GDP in China was 5.1 times that of the United States, and the turnover of goods per unit of GDP was 5.1 times that of the United States, 14.3 times that of Japan and 16.4 times that of Germany. Therefore, everyone should look at it objectively. The stage of economic development and industrial layout we are now in have a certain relationship with the relatively large country and large span.This is a fundamental factor.

  The second factor is related to the logistics industry. The threshold of the logistics industry is relatively low and the degree of organization is relatively weak. Small and medium-sized companies account for more than 90%, which is bound to be lower in operational efficiency. According to statistics, the share of the top 20 road transport enterprises in China is less than 2%, which is the so-called market concentration. We only have 2%, which is very low. The top five road transport enterprises in the United States account for 60% of the market, and our 20 companies are less than 2%. China’s road freight companies have an average of 1.5 vehicles, even less than 2 vehicles, of which only 1 vehicle company accounts for 40%, which shows that our overall logistics operation is small, scattered and weak. Of course, the bigger the company, the higher its operating efficiency, and the smaller the company, the lower its operating efficiency.

  The third reason is related to the degree of informatization. Asymmetric information, cars can’t find goods, goods can’t find cars, warehouses can’t find cars and goods, and warehouses can’t find warehouses, which leads to high vacancy rate of vehicles and insufficient utilization of warehouses, which is also an important factor leading to high logistics costs. For example, the vacancy rate of road freight cars in our developed Shanghai in 2011 was 37%, which was three times higher than that in developed countries. The empty driving rate is not to go out empty, but to go one way, that is, to pull the goods after going out, but to come back empty, which is more common. Generally, there is no such thing as going out and coming back empty.

  In addition, there are some other reasons, such as high institutional costs, highway charges, fines, fuel costs, labor costs, venue rental fees and other issues, which are all reasons.

  China News Service:I would like to ask Deputy Inspector Wang, just now you introduced that there are still so many problems in China’s logistics industry. What is the significance of solving these problems and developing China’s commercial logistics industry to the whole market or consumption? Thank you.

  Wang Xuanqing:The logistics industry itself is a compound industry, not an industry, but an industry composed of many industries. Therefore, it takes a long time to solve the problem of high logistics cost and low logistics efficiency, and it cannot be achieved overnight by one or two departments. Therefore, first of all, media friends and the public should have an objective understanding of this problem. Reducing the logistics cost is now the main starting point for the government to grasp the logistics work. In 2008 and 2009, in order to cope with the international financial crisis, we established ten industries to revitalize, among which the logistics industry was listed as the only service industry, which was unprecedented in history. In the past, the industries focused on revitalization were still focused on industry or agriculture and manufacturing, and the service industry was included in the revitalization for the first time. Therefore, in 2009, the State Council specially issued a plan for the adjustment and revitalization of the logistics industry. In 2011, the logistics chronic disease that was widely reflected by the society was the problem of high logistics cost and low efficiency. At that time, the media had relatively concentrated reports. the State Council specially held a meeting and issued the so-called nine national policies to promote logistics, and all relevant departments were also doing related work. As for trade logistics, Director Hu just introduced that trade logistics is mainly concentrated in cities. The characteristics of urban logistics are that urban traffic pressure, land cost pressure, labor cost pressure, commercial resource pressure and other aspects are relatively high due to the relatively intensive urban resources, market agglomeration, consumption agglomeration and personnel agglomeration.Therefore, the position of urban logistics in the whole logistics is becoming more and more prominent. First, the proportion of costs is getting higher and higher. For example, the price increase of agricultural and sideline products from Shouguang to Xinfadi in Shandong is about 1 time, while the price increase from Xinfadi to the final farmer’s retail store is about 4 times. Of course, it is not entirely the logistics cost, but it also includes other expenses. However, the rising cost of logistics is indeed in a state of sudden rise. To solve the problem of trade logistics, it is of great significance, or decisive significance, to reduce the whole logistics cost. This is the first point.

  Second, it is precisely because of the characteristics of urban logistics that urban logistics is also the development direction of modern logistics. Some high-end logistics industries are concentrated in cities, because the characteristics of urban logistics are multi-batch and small-batch. For example, a supermarket and a consumer do not need much, but they need to be replenished frequently, requiring accurate, timely, point-by-point and quantity delivery to consumers. At the same time, due to the pressure of urban resources and environment, high requirements are put forward for logistics, which promotes the innovation of logistics mode and the wide application of various technologies. Now some high-end and most advanced logistics technologies have been applied in the field of business logistics. If you have the opportunity to visit the distribution centers of some large chain enterprises, automated three-dimensional warehouses, automated sorting equipment, information monitoring, and visual management throughout the process, these are all relatively high-end developments in the field of logistics, and the application of RFID technology and equipment is very wide in this field. Therefore, the development of trade logistics is of great significance, which plays a decisive role in reducing the whole logistics cost and improving efficiency, and is also of great significance in leading the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry and applying new technologies and equipment.

  Hu Suojin:Just now, Deputy Inspector Wang and Deputy Director Shen introduced the development of commercial logistics in China and the promotion of commercial logistics in Beijing, and exchanged views on issues of concern to everyone. I hope friends in the press will continue to care about the development of China’s trade and logistics industry, help us improve our work and promote the faster and better development of China’s trade and logistics industry. If you have any further questions about trade logistics after the meeting, you can contact our information office and we will give you feedback as soon as possible.

  Today’s press conference is over. Thank you, Deputy Inspector Wang and Deputy Director Shen, and thank you all.
    

 

Dad, white mother, black children and yellow people, this family is cross-racial and cross-biological, but it is perfect.

The story should start with a family dance competition.

In the future, these competitions will be held online, and families will be divided into three groups and four groups.

Jack’s family is a foursome.

Father, mother, brother, sister, members gathered together and loved each other perfectly.

But … wait.

Father is white, mother is black and two children are yellow?

This family composition is complicated enough.

More complicated.

At the end of the game, Jack’s family lost.

However, the son (Yang)’ s hand still kept waving and waving.

He actually … crashed! ! !

Yes, literally, my son turned out to be a robot!

From cross-racial to cross-biological, Sir is more and more curious. Where will this story go?

Yanghou

After Yang

After Yang, a new film A24, is adapted from the short science fiction novel Say goodbye to Yang.

Yang, the hero of the movie, is a robot set as a boy in China.

American movies, Korean directors, China protagonists and China culture collide to produce wonderful chemical reactions.

"Fruits of Summer" and "Everything about Lily Zhou", all kinds of popular elements, dream back to twenty years ago at any time.

On the surface, the film is still about robots.

But under the fusion of various new elements, this time, the director wants to express more than "the relationship between robots and people".

01

breakdown

Tell the story back.

Jack’s family are all worried about Yang’s crash.

Yang is an outsider in this family.

When Jack bought Yang, it was to accompany his yellow-skinned daughter Mika to grow up, so that she wouldn’t be upset because of her different skin color from her parents. -Mika is actually adopted.

The severance of blood relationship and emotional alienation make the word "home" more ambiguous.

For many years, Yang taught Mika Chinese and told her about China culture.

Mika, on the other hand, has always called Yang "Brother" in Chinese.

The family is very dependent on Yang.

Yang is good everywhere, but the quality is not good.

Strange to say, jack was greedy for cheap.

To buy Yang Shi, he did not buy it directly from the official company, but from an agency.

It means that Yang is not brand new, but has been returned to the factory to be rebuilt.

The buyer told him that Yang had only been used for five days, but it could save a lot of money for their family.

There is no such thing as a "free lunch".

Sure enough:

Yang suddenly shut down without warning.

Mika cried for her brother.

Jack and his wife Keira had to bite the bullet and continue their lives.

But the situation is far more difficult than they thought.

I found the agency that bought Yang in those days and ran away early.

Find the official repair point of the original company, and people say that the parts are all normal, but the bad part is the core fault, which can’t be repaired.

So, Jack looked for various methods.

Beyond all legal forms and commercial terms, ask for help from robot researchers in exchange for his maintenance on the condition of studying Yang.

Salvation is the motive force at the beginning of this story. They tried their best to save Yang, and at the same time, they were also saving the family.

However, the title of the film, as you know, is Queen Yang.

In fact, a more accurate translation is After the Death of Yang.

02

secret

After Yang is a very soft soft science fiction.

As a robot, Yang has neither super power display nor dazzling technology embodiment. Remove the element of artificial intelligence, and you can even treat him as an ordinary person.

This is the director’s intention.

Look at Sir.

The background color of Queen Yang is like a mourning film wrapped in quiet sadness.

At the beginning of the film, Yang died.

The rest is just a long farewell.

In many movies, we can see this "routine", that is, the more familiar we are with the person, the more we can understand this person after his death. Diary of the Sea Street and Long Farewell …

After Yang is no exception.

Yang has always been a perfect robot.

He has a high IQ and can communicate freely with human beings. Gentle personality, take care of the family in every way.

Rich in knowledge, just like a walking museum of Chinese culture.

Especially when Jack and Keira are busy at work, he is an indispensable good helper.

Yang is like a member of a traditional family who works hard and is extremely dependent on everyone.

But one day, the family suddenly lost him.

Everyone was caught off guard.

Jack opens Yang’s memory bank, which contains an image he recorded every day.

Like entering a secret forest, unknown.

Mika’s growth record.

And Yang’s own smile in the mirror.

Huh? Why is there a strange girl?

The memory fragments like the stars of Yang are accompanied by the family’s memories of Yang.

His image is gradually three-dimensional and complicated.

It turned out that they ignored so much.

He can think for himself.

Taking a family photo, Yang fiddled with the camera and watched his family call him over. Yang suddenly lost his mind for a moment.

At that moment, he was probably thinking about what he meant to this family.

He will still fall in love.

Jack found the girl that Yang stored in his memory through various clues.

Only then did I know that he would strike up a conversation with a girl he likes, date her and talk on the phone like a human being.

And then along more memory storage fragments.

Jack found out.

He is their Yang, not just their Yang.

The stories he has experienced and the emotions he has are far more complicated than the Jack family imagined.

Yang is a robot that has experienced several generations.

The cello version of "Fruits of Summer" quietly sounded after the family got to know Yang again.

The melody is sad, but here, Chinese can feel it better.

How relevant the lyrics of its Mandarin version are.

"Maybe giving up can get close to you."

"The accumulation of time, the fruit of this midsummer, the lonely fragrance in memories."

On the surface, the director is talking about the relationship between man and artificial intelligence-whether AI has feelings or not, and human beings don’t know the secrets of AI enough.

But in fact, what the director wants to examine through AI is human’s own consciousness and emotion.

When we maintain our image, form a family and integrate into a large group, do those barriers really disappear?

You vaguely feel that something is wrong, but you can’t tell where it is.

In other words, everywhere.

minority

According to the data of the US Census Bureau in 2020, among the more than 300 million people, whites only accounted for 53%.

Of the rest, 18% are Latino, 13% are African-American … and Asians also account for 5%.

True to its name, it’s a multi-ethnic melting pot.

The future society built by Queen Yang is a huge diversified melting pot.

In addition to the protagonist family, white people, black people, Chinese people and robots.

And, human cloning.

The film spent a lot of time talking about the differences and barriers of various identities.

"Identity" is the key to understanding movies.

The two plots are meaningful.

Conversations from Yang and "Father" and "Mother" respectively.

First, Jack and Yang discuss China tea.

When Jack talks about tasting tea, it feels like walking through the forest after the rain, and the scene is all in a cup of tea.

He also taught Yang to smell tea, saying that he could smell history from the inside.

He forgot.

Imagination and synaesthesia seem to be the privileges of human beings.

But then, Yang described another beauty of tea in his eyes from the perspective of his "robot".

Tea blooms and floats in the water.

I hope to know more about tea.

I hope I have a true memory of China tea.

At that moment, it seemed a little beyond Jack’s cognition.

He subconsciously asked the basic question to test "Are you a human or a robot": Are you happy?

Yang replied, I don’t know if this is a problem for me.

A delicate game.

The other is that Keira and Yang talk about death.

Yang said, even if life is nothing after the end, I can accept it.

Keira was obviously shocked to hear such words from a robot population.

Like Jack, she asked Yang, Will you feel sad?

Happy, sad.

People always use their own emotional standards to measure everything.

Just like after Yang’s "death", Jack asked his clone girlfriend if Yang had ever suffered for being a robot and wanted to be human.

Yes, after all, in the concept of human beings, in countless works about robots, they all want to become human beings and even replace human beings.

But the girl laughed after hearing it: this is the question that human beings ask.

We are all familiar with the tradition of China, and we all know the story of "a child is not a fish". Yang has always said "Zhuang Zhou Meng Die", but no one really understands the meaning of these two stories.

On the surface, what we are discussing here is the identity of human and non-human, but in fact, under the shell of biological dialectics, everyone is confused in reality.

Namely:

What is me?

We miss live high, but we often materialize our lives.

By wealth, by status, by knowledge, by skin color.

Even robots are unconsciously enslaved.

In the movie, Yang often asks his girlfriend:

Are you Chinese? What are the characteristics of Asians?

This is because.

His sister, as the daughter of Chinese, is often asked about her biological parents by her classmates at school, which hurts her very much.

Asians and Americans, robots and people, the corresponding relationship designed here is very clear.

To put it bluntly, Asians still exist in a weak position in a seemingly mixed and diverse environment.

Which is what we call a minority.

Reject the label and you will be marginalized.

But if you erase the label and go into the mainstream, you may also lose your "self".

This is probably the confusion that Guo Gongda, as a Korean director, really wants to express.

Later Yang figured it out.

I don’t want to live in the perfect narrative of others.

He used "grafting", a technology invented by Chinese thousands of years ago, as a metaphor for the fate of the brother and sister.

A branch is taken from one tree and grows together with another tree.

That’s all it is.

Mika blurted out:

"It’s just pretending to be part of this tree."

Yang said, "Doing so can create new things."

An almost beautiful and extravagant hope.

Because we are well aware that the 23 million Asian population in the United States will still face more or less discrimination at a time when different groups are increasingly divided and conservative, and misunderstandings and conflicts are surging.

However, After Yang believed in hope.

In the process of saving Yang and re-understanding Yang, the family finally reached some kind of emotional redemption and perfection.

This is the value of "After Yang".

It’s not a rush to smooth out the differences.

To tell you honestly, the difference is there, and the gap may not disappear completely.

But those most universal and sincere feelings are always the channel to understand another language and another existence.

Just like Mika came to Yang Zeng’s room in immature Chinese and said goodbye to him.

Just like his girlfriend lying on Yang’s chest, as if he still had a heartbeat.

You can think of him as AI.

But if you read it out gently:

It is love.

The picture in this article comes from the Internet.

Editor’s Assistant: M is the murderer.

Mobile finally supports online sales! But there’s a lot of holes …

Have you noticed that there has been a lot of good news from operators recently?

It is also a port number transfer network, and it is also vying to get on VoLTE.

One of them, Xiao Lei, has been waiting for a long time-the mobile phone number supports remote account cancellation.

This policy not only saves time but also saves money. (After all, the trip home can cover your phone bill for several years.)

Yes, you heard me right.

From January 1st this year, all three major operators can cancel their accounts in different places.

Xiaolei wants to praise Unicom most, and he went online to cancel his account early, so we don’t have to run the business hall again.

As for mobile telecommunications, it is a little more difficult.

Last week, Mobile began to pilot online account cancellation. But if you open China Mobile App, you probably can’t find the account cancellation entrance, because it is only limited to Shaanxi Mobile number for the time being.

Mobile number and telecom users in other areas can only go to the business hall to handle it.

(account cancellation entrance: China mobile App→ classification → life → online sales number)

Lei doesn’t know when it will be open to the whole country. Before that, mobile phone users should take a look at the preparations first …

Method for cancel number of mobile telecommunication in different places

Listen, to cancel the number in the business hall, you need:

I bring my ID card and service password and go to the designated business hall to handle it.

Not all business halls can do it.

Take Guangzhou, where Xiaolei is located, as an example. Only the business hall can close the account in different places.

(An authorized agency like this won’t do)

So before you go, be sure to call 10086/10000 to find out which business halls can do it.

But, you can’t just cancel it if you go.

Your mobile phone number cannot have the following conditions:

Arrears;
Have a contract;
It is bound with services such as family number and broadband.

Only one situation:

At the time of inquiry, Xiao Lei found a secret, and the method of canceling the account between Mobile GSM and M-Zone Shenzhouxing was actually different.

The customer service explained this to me:

You must go to the business hall to make an appointment to cancel your account. If you don’t pay for the next 90 days, you will automatically sell the number;
And Shenzhouxing and M-Zone will automatically cancel the number if the arrears exceed 90 days.

You don’t pay your phone bill for 90 days. How can there be such a big difference?

Under the coercion of Xiao Lei, the customer service told Xiao Lei:

Because GSM is prepaid, arrears will affect credit, so you have to make an appointment to cancel your account;
However, Shenzhouxing and M-Zone are post-paid, and how much is charged, even if the arrears are directly thrown away, it will not affect the credit.

In other words, Shenzhouxing and M-Zone don’t have to go to the business hall to close their accounts.

Fortunately, little ray asked, and saved you another thing?

In a word, Xiao Lei suggests that you call 10086/10000, where you belong, to find out your account cancellation conditions, so as not to make a trip in vain.

If there is a Shaanxi mobile phone friend who is reading this article, the account cancellation process on the mobile App is similar to that of China Unicom, and Xiao Lei said it together.

Unicom remote number cancellation method

Xiao Lei cancelled a Unicom number in January.

The entrance is easy to find:

"Mobile phone business hall App → service → handling → account cancellation"

First of all, we have to go through the triple verification of "SMS verification code+uploading ID photo+face recognition". The ID card must be taken now, and photos in the photo album cannot be used.

I can’t help it. I have to prevent others from maliciously canceling your number.

At this time, China Unicom will remind you that the phone bill should not be less than 50 yuan, otherwise it may not be possible to cancel the account ~ (Mobile can cancel online as long as it does not owe money at that time)

In order to close the account successfully, Xiao Lei gritted his teeth and charged the phone bill again.

Of course, the extra money will be refunded to you.

It is only by transferring to the balance of another Unicom number in the same province.

For example, the number of Xiaolei Guangdong Unicom cannot be transferred to Jiangsu Unicom.

Just when I crossed my heart and thought I was done, huh? ? ? Unknown error. What the hell? !

Ray suddenly felt struck by lightning.

No way, find customer service! When I opened Unicom official website and found that there were only two people waiting in line, Lei was secretly pleased.

The problem is that miss customer service can’t solve the problems that Xiaolei encountered, and finally she just gave a complaint feedback link …

Just when Xiaolei was disheartened, ready to give up and went directly to the offline business hall to cancel the account, he suddenly had a flash of light and thought of the key to the problem: Unicom’s mobile phone card number is divided into 4G and 2 G and 3 G.

Generally, 4G numbers belong to China Unicom’s national system CBSS, while many 2 and 3G numbers still belong to local provinces and cities BSS. The two card systems are not connected, so naturally they cannot be transferred.

And the number I want to transfer to is the 3G card!

Sure enough, Xiao Lei changed the number to a colleague’s 4G card, and it was a success.

Almost a month later, the balance was directly charged to the number I filled in.

In addition, Unicom also provides a way that it likes very much-just don’t.

However, if you want cash, you can do it. You have to go to Unicom’s own business hall to cancel the number, and support bank card transfer to refund the balance.

It should be noted that the donation fee is non-refundable, and only the money that you recharge can be refunded.

In contrast, the refund of mobile telecom is very pit.

Lei asked the customer service:

At present, there is no uniform standard for telecommunications, and whether cash can be refunded depends on local policies;
Mobile can only transfer the balance to the mobile number of the same attribution, and cannot refund cash.

Although mobile tries to save the user churn rate by raising various thresholds.

But now there is a remote account cancellation+port number transfer, and it is not a simple matter of who we want to use.

I asked if you were afraid.

Wait a minute! Don’t go after reading the article!

Xiao Lei made a small questionnaire, which is related to you. Used to optimize the article and let you see more interesting content.

Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences speaks! Jizhong Education Group launched the first series of activities of Mathematics Festival.

UNESCO has designated March 14th every year as "International Mathematics Day". On March 10th, before the arrival of "International Mathematics Day", sun yat-sen memorial middle school Education Group held the opening ceremony of the first series of activities of Mathematics Festival. It is reported that the Mathematics Festival will last for five days, and related activities include mathematics lectures by academicians of China Academy of Sciences and professors of Beihang University, as well as mathematics story-telling contest, mathematics model making, mathematics creative drawing, mathematics super brain challenge and so on.

During the activity, Tang Tao, academician of China Academy of Sciences, academician of European Academy of Sciences, president of Guangzhou Southern College and honorary president of Jizhong Junior Academy of Sciences, gave an academic feast to the teachers and students of Jizhong Education Group with the theme of "Pushing Open the Door of Math Puzzle —— Starting from Songshan Lake Math Exploration Museum". He started with the first all-ecological mathematics theme exploration museum in China-Dongguan Songshan Lake Mathematics Exploration Museum, explaining the reasons for learning mathematics by hands and the mathematics learning methods in the era of artificial intelligence. Academician Tang Tao said that through hands-on operation, students can transform abstract mathematical knowledge into concrete physical operations, so as to better understand and master mathematical knowledge and feel the pleasure of swimming in the fun mathematical world.

What kind of mathematical ability do you need in the AI era? "The essence of AI is to enable machines to learn like humans. The core is algorithms and the foundation is models, so mathematics has irreplaceable value. When discussing mathematics education in the AI ? ? era, the focus cannot be separated from the improvement of’ mathematical ability’." Academician Tang Tao said that people need to have the ability to ask questions, analyze problems and solve problems comprehensively. They need to understand that algebra, calculus and probability are the core and foundation of AI.

In this regard, Xu Lang, a student in Class 12, Grade Two, Jizhong High School, said that Academician Tang Tao’s lecture brought him a brand-new perspective and an interesting way to learn mathematics. "I used to think that physics and chemistry could be visualized, but I didn’t expect mathematics to be so close to life."

At the opening ceremony, Liang Shifeng, deputy secretary and president of Jizhong Party Committee, revealed that Jizhong Education Group actively responded to the national strategic needs, carried out the "fertile soil plan" and "outstanding plan" in depth, adhered to the classroom teaching concept of "thinking+space" and cultivated top-notch innovative talents facing the future. The school established Jizhong Junior Academy of Sciences, established a mathematical inquiry room and an artificial intelligence inquiry room, invited Academician Tang Tao’s mathematics studio to settle in Jizhong, and hired distinguished professor Hu Weidong of Beijing Institute of Technology as the academic head teacher of the strong foundation class, further opening up the "green channel" for early identification and training of top-notch innovative talents, and striving to cultivate suitable soil for outstanding talents to "emerge". In addition, the school joined the China Mathematical Olympic Hope Alliance and actively explored the discovery and cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in mathematics.

On the same day, a number of guests also unveiled the mathematics inquiry room of Jizhong Education Group. In the research room, more than 10 physical models of mathematical elements bring students an immersive mathematical experience, and students can observe and "play" mathematics from any angle and at close range. According to the introduction of the teacher in charge of teaching, the graphic calculator in the research room is organically related to each functional module, which is convenient for students to study and analyze mathematical problems from multiple angles and levels and create mathematical modeling to solve problems.

Gmail celebrates its 20th anniversary: completely changing email.

According to the Associated Press, on April 2nd, April Fool’s Day, Google’s email Gmail celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin, co-founders of Google, are so fond of pranks that they began to put forward strange ideas on April Fool’s Day every year shortly after they founded the company more than a quarter of a century ago. One year, Google posted a vacancy in the Copernicus Research Center on the Moon. Another year, the company said it planned to launch crawling and sniffing functions on its search engine.

These jokes are always so exaggerated that people learn to laugh them off as another example of Google pranks. That’s why Page and Brin decided to reveal something that no one believed on April Fool’s Day 20 years ago.

This is Gmail, which is a free service, and each account has 1 GB of storage space. In the era of 1 TB iPhone, this number sounds almost insignificant. But it sounded like an absurd e-mail capacity at the time, enough to store about 13,500 e-mails before running out of space, while the leading e-mail services operated by Yahoo and Microsoft at that time could only store 30 to 60 e-mails. This means that the e-mail storage space has increased by 250 to 500 times.

In addition to the storage leap, Gmail is also equipped with Google’s search technology, so users can quickly retrieve tidbits from old emails, photos or other personal information stored on the service. It also automatically strings together a series of communications about the same topic, so everything flows together as if it were a conversation.

"Our initial publicity was all about the three S’s-storage, search and speed. Marissa Mayer, a former Google executive, said that she helped design Gmail and other company products before becoming CEO of Yahoo.

This is such a puzzling concept that shortly after the Associated Press published a report about Gmail in the afternoon of April Fool’s Day in 2004, readers began to call and email the news agency to tell them that they had been cheated by Google pranksters.

"That’s part of the charm, making products that people can’t believe. To some extent, it has changed people’s views on the types of applications that may appear in web browsers. Paul Buchheit, a former Google engineer, recalled his efforts to build Gmail in a recent interview with the Associated Press.

As part of a project called Caribou, it took three years to complete-Caribou refers to a recurring joke in Dilbert comics. "Caribou is a ridiculous name, it just makes me laugh. Buchheit said that he is the 23rd employee employed by a company with more than 180,000 employees.

The Associated Press knew that Google was not joking with Gmail because an Associated Press reporter was suddenly asked to come to the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California from San Francisco to see what would make the trip worthwhile.

After arriving at the still-developing enterprise park (which will soon become the later Googleplex), the Associated Press reporter was taken into a small office, and Page sat in front of his laptop with a naughty smile on his face.

Page, then only 31 years old, continued to show off Gmail’s stylish inbox and its running speed in Microsoft’s now retired Explorer web browser. He pointed out that there is no delete button in the main control window, because Gmail has such a large storage space and can be easily searched, so it is unnecessary. "I think people will really like this. Page predicted.

Like many other things, Page is right.

Gmail currently has an estimated 1.8 billion active accounts, and each account now provides 15 GB of free storage space, bundled with Google Photos and Google Drive. Although this is 15 times more storage space than Gmail originally provided, it is still not enough for many users who rarely see the need to clear their accounts, as Google hopes.

The digital accumulation of emails, photos and other content is the reason why Google, Apple and other companies are now making money by selling extra storage capacity in data centers. (As far as Google is concerned, its charges range from $30 per year for 200 GB storage to $250 per year for 5 TB storage).

The existence of Gmail is also the reason why other free email services and internal email accounts used by employees at work provide much more storage space than imagined 20 years ago.

Buchheit said: We are trying to change people’s way of thinking, because people have been working in this storage-scarce mode for so long that deleting has become the default operation.

Gmail has changed the rules of the game in several other aspects, and at the same time it has become the first cornerstone for Google’s Internet empire to expand into its still dominant search engine.

Gmail was followed by Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing and spreadsheet applications. Subsequently, the video website YouTube was acquired, and then the Chrome browser and Android operating system were launched, which was adopted by most smartphones in the world. Since Gmail has made it clear that it intends to scan email content to better understand users’ interests, Google has no doubt that digital monitoring in order to sell more advertisements will become part of its expanding ambition.

Although Gmail caused an immediate sensation, its scope was limited at first, because Google only had enough computing power to support a small number of users at first.

"When we launched, we only had 300 machines, and they were all old machines that others didn’t want. Buchheit said with a smile. "Our capacity is only enough for 10,000 users, which is a bit ridiculous. 」

But this scarcity has created an exclusive atmosphere around Gmail, which has promoted the fanatical demand for elusive registration invitations. Once upon a time, invitations to open Gmail accounts sold for $250 each on eBay. "It becomes a bit like a social currency, and people will say, Hey, I got an invitation from Gmail. Do you want one? Buchheit said.

Although it became easier to register Gmail with more large data center networks of Google, it was not until 2007 that the company opened its doors to the world as a Valentine’s Day gift that it began to accept all users to use the email service.

A few weeks later, on April Fool’s Day in 2007, Google announced a new feature called Gmail Paper, which gave users the opportunity to let Google print out emails and archive them, and then save them. Send it to them by postal service.

Google was really joking at the time.

Domestic films in the mainland box office are more than imported films, and the National Day and New Year files are ready to go.

So far, the top three domestic box offices.

1905 movie network news   According to statistics, as ofeightmoontwelveJapan Saturday,2017The cumulative box office in the mainland has broken through in.364Compared with the same period last year, the total growth rate is close.55Billion. Among them, domestic films performed strongly at the beginning of the year and in the summer — — With the help of waiting for the film, the Spring Festival filesevenTianjingtun33Billion,seveneightThe moon was born again.Wolf Warriors2And other explosive works. Finally, accumulate28More than 100 million domestic films won183Billion box office, in the past weekend, the successful realization of imported films.181The overtaking of billions of data.

 

Domestic films surpassed imported films "Wolf Warriors 2" and "Fast 8" in the box office.

 

In 2017, the mainland box office had exceeded 36.4 billion as of the evening of August 12, a substantial increase of nearly 5.5 billion compared with the same period last year. Among them, domestic films made more than 18.3 billion at the box office, higher than the 18.1 billion imported films. From the analysis of specific data, the peak of the market appeared in February, and the box office in that month climbed to 6.18 billion with the help of many films in the Spring Festival. In the week of the Spring Festival holiday alone, the mainland market swallowed more than 3.3 billion. The summer file that just passed followed in July with 5.04 billion yuan, and the box office increased by nearly 500 million yuan year-on-year. Domestic films are also the most outstanding in these two periods, and almost all the top ten box office paintings are concentrated in this period.

 

The overall box office climb is also inseparable from the performance of a single film. As of press time, in 2017, 54 of the new films released in the mainland exceeded 100 million at the box office and 12 exceeded 1 billion. Of the over 100 million films, domestic films account for 28, with a slightly higher proportion than imported films. There is no doubt that the champion of the overall list is the record-breaking Wolf Warriors 2, with a single contribution of more than 4 billion at the box office, while the champion of imported films is 2.67 billion at the box office, and Kung Fu Yoga starring Jackie Chan ranks third with 1.75 billion.

National Day movies are highly competitive.

 

The National Day file and the New Year file are ready to go. The annual box office is 50 billion or no suspense.

 

In August, "Wolf Warriors 2" rewrote the long-lost box office record in film history, and became the new overlord of the mainland film market with an unshakable 4.2 billion box office. At the same time, the film’s hot performance also detonated the summer file that was slightly weak in the first half and revitalized the market. Such a strong momentum naturally makes us have more expectations for the film market in the second half of the year.

 

According to the news that has been exposed so far, there are many kinds of Chinese films that will meet the audience in the second half of the year, including modern military themes that are favored by the market at present, comedies and fantasy films that have always been popular with the audience.

 

In addition, several film directors — — Xiaogang Feng, Chen Kaige and Yuan Heping will all return to the battlefield with their works. Xiaogang Feng’s new film will be the first to be released during the National Day. The film is based on the cultural and art troupe in the 70 s and 80 s, restoring the former director memories of youth; At the end of the year, Chen Kaige’s works and those directed by Yuan Heping and supervised by Tsui Hark are scheduled. The former is based on the story of a demon cat stirring Chang ‘an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, while the latter focuses on a fantastic Jianghu adventure in the Uber-ridden era.

 

Judging from the release time, the above-mentioned Chinese works will strongly occupy the National Day file and the New Year file, which are also the two most important golden files in the mainland film market in the second half of the year. According to the current growth trend of the broader market, with the strong help of the National Day and New Year movies, it is very likely that the total box office will exceed 50 billion in 2017.

Comment | Pseudo-public Live Broadcasting: Doing evil in the name of goodness must be severely punished.

  CCTV News:Recently, on a live broadcast platform, a "public welfare fraud" storm that reveals secrets to each other is spreading.

  Video reveals pseudo-charity volunteers in Daliangshan area

  This "public welfare fraud" storm originated from a video on the Internet. In the video, two men first arranged for villagers in a village in Liangshan Prefecture to stand in two rows, and then sent money to the villagers live. But after the live broadcast, these people took the money back from the villagers.

△ Video screenshot: The "pseudo-charity" anchor said that he would send money to the villagers (Figure/Chengdu Business Daily)

  After the video was exposed, the man who sent the money admitted that it was really his own doing to send money to shoot the video first and then take it back after shooting. The purpose was to increase the number of fans and watch more, so that "fans can brush more gifts".

△ Video screenshot: The "pseudo-charity" anchor will take back the money sent to the villagers (Figure/Chengdu Business Daily)

  Anchors fight each other, fake charity exposure

  The man who sends money is called "Jie Ge" and is the anchor of a live broadcast platform. Recently, he exchanged ideas with several other anchors on the live broadcast platform, accusing each other of doing pseudo-charity. The reason why this pseudo-charity video was filmed and exposed was the counterattack of "Jie Ge" opponents.

  However, after he was exposed to "pretending to send money", "Jiege" was not to be outdone, and he gradually exposed the insider of many fake charities of his opponents. Another anchor on the live broadcast platform, who is famous for "doing public welfare" in Daliangshan, sent 1,000 yuan to an old man, made a video at a time, took it back after filming, and sent it to another old man. Seven old people have been sent. However, the named anchor did not officially respond to this matter.

  In addition, "Jie Ge" also revealed that these "volunteers" who went to Liangshan Prefecture not far from Wan Li to do charity were all miserable in the face of the recipients. He broke the news in the video that these "caring people" smeared mud on children’s faces, highlighting their misery.

  Public security, civil affairs and other departments have been involved in pseudo-charity events.

  For pseudo-charity, relevant departments in Liangshan attach great importance to it, and local public security and civil affairs departments are involved in the investigation. After the incident, several anchors were summoned by the police. The reporter learned from the Liangshan Charity Federation that the local public security and civil affairs departments are jointly investigating and handling this matter. "The results of the investigation and handling have not yet come out."

  Cctv review

  A "public welfare fraud" storm that reveals secrets to each other has made people once again see the unlimited limit of webcasting, and also let the public see the faces of some people who are interested in their interests. It is simple to investigate and deal with several people involved in the case, but the problems reflected behind it are real and worthy of our serious consideration.

  Fake charity highlights the real problem of webcasting

  In the past two years, the Internet live broadcast platform is growing explosively. The era of webcasting makes everyone have a microphone further, and everyone can stand in front of the spotlight and become an anchor. But at the same time, all kinds of unlimited webcasts have taught people the "rudeness" of this new thing. For some time, there have been many ugly phenomena such as making people, taking drugs and fighting in the live broadcast. The relevant state departments have investigated and punished the relevant platforms and people involved for many times, but the fake, evil and ugly in the live broadcast are still emerging in an endless stream.

  This fake charity storm, on the surface, conveys a strong positive energy, which seems to be different from the previous live broadcasts, but it has the same effect in the bones: it is all for eye-catching and further gaining greater economic benefits. As we all know, the current fan economy is increasingly turbulent. As long as it can attract enough attention, network anchors will not lack the favor of capital and advertising, thus achieving the goal of making a lot of money.

  False public service live broadcast causes multiple injuries in the name of goodness.

  Of course, this fake charity storm is different from the previous "ugly live broadcast". Whether creating people or fighting in front of the camera, most of them cater to the unique ugliness mentality and selfish desire of some people on the Internet. This time, the ugly behavior of fake charity is packaged with strong positive energy to earn people’s moral attention and support, but the activities done behind the scenes are even uglier. Such an ugly act is not enough for the people to be angry without strict investigation.

  On the one hand, the ugly behavior of fake charity seriously hurts the feelings of the recipients. The network anchor involved went straight into the countryside and distributed all kinds of benefits and banknotes. However, as soon as the camera turned off, the donations were immediately recycled, making the villagers become furnishings and props, which seriously hurt their feelings. At the same time, the ugly behavior of fake charity has also hurt the feelings of fans. Netizens pay attention to the truth in front of the camera, paying sincere and enthusiastic attention, but they didn’t expect it to be a carefully planned "drama". Of course, the practice of fake charity hurts far more than these groups. Well-planned scams will also hurt the feelings of ordinary people and overdraw people’s love. If this phenomenon is allowed to continue, social trust will fall into a "swamp".

  Strengthen supervision and put a legal "tight hoop" on public welfare fraud

  Rome wasn’t built in a day. On the one hand, some people have no respect for law and morality, and they dare to do anything as long as they are profitable and take advantage of it. In fact, this kind of behavior has been suspected of violating the law. The new Charity Law, which was officially implemented on September 1 this year, has clear provisions on cheating, and the public security organs in the involved areas have also intervened. On the other hand, although the relevant state departments have repeatedly reminded the webcast platform to shoulder the regulatory responsibility, many involved platforms still fall on deaf ears.

  Just recently, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Live Broadcasting Services of Online Audiovisual Programs", requiring the license management of the live broadcasting platform and the anchor of the live broadcasting platform to hold a certificate. This week, the "Regulations on the Administration of Internet Live Broadcasting Service" issued by the National Network Information Office also pointed out that for network anchors who touch the law, they must be hell to pay. With the increase of supervision and the escalation of supervision means, the willful live broadcast of fake charity will be severely punished. People expect that the situation of webcasting mud and sand can be changed as soon as possible!

  This report is made in accordance with Article 50 of the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information in People’s Republic of China (PRC) (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information).

  I. General situation

  In 2020, in order to further implement the government information disclosure work and provide better government information disclosure services, we will conscientiously implement the new development concept under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, adhere to the basic principle of openness and transparency, and guarantee the people’s right to know, participate and supervise, so as to facilitate citizens, legal persons or other organizations to obtain it according to law. Conscientiously do a good job in voluntary disclosure, disclosure according to application, government information management, platform construction, supervision and guarantee, expand the scope of disclosure, improve the disclosure mechanism, and provide guarantee for building a service-oriented government.

  (a) take the initiative to disclose the situation

  First, strengthen and improve the main channels of publicity. Through holding party group meetings and government information disclosure work meetings for many times, we explored new forms of information disclosure policies, implemented new requirements of relevant work, constantly improved and improved the supervision mechanism of various assessment indicators, formulated practical implementation plans, and implemented the information disclosure work to full-time staff of departments to ensure the effective implementation of government information disclosure work, so that the government information disclosure work progressed smoothly and without errors. In 2020, 10,246 pieces of information were voluntarily disclosed on the website of Fengtai District Government, 4,695 pieces of information were voluntarily disclosed by Weibo, 2,500 pieces of information were voluntarily disclosed by Beijing Fengtai WeChat WeChat official account, 4,784 pieces of information were voluntarily disclosed by the client of Beijing Fengtai, 446 pieces of information were voluntarily disclosed by WeChat official account in today’s headline, and WeChat official account was released by Aauto Quicker Fengtai. The second is to strengthen the top-level design, print and distribute "Main Points of Government Affairs Openness in Fengtai District in 2020" and "Decomposition of Key Tasks in the Region", clarify the guiding ideology, basic principles, work objectives and important paths of government affairs openness in the new era, and form a long-term working mechanism for information submission, recording, disclosure and archiving.

  (two) according to the application for public handling.

  In 2020, the whole region received a total of 1,056 applications for government information disclosure, and 969 applications were completed, with 100 carried forward from the previous year and 87 carried forward to the next year. Judging from the handling results: 281 cases were made public; 35 pieces were partially disclosed; 59 pieces were not made public; Unable to provide 526 pieces; 54 cases were not handled; Others handled 14 pieces.

  (three) the standardization and management of government information resources.

  According to Article 2 of the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information, government information refers to information produced or obtained by administrative organs in the process of performing administrative functions, and recorded and preserved in a certain form. The disclosure of government information takes two ways: voluntary disclosure and application disclosure.

  Active disclosure. All units shall dynamically update the full list of voluntary disclosure and the government information disclosure guide in strict accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information, so as to ensure that the channels and contents of government information disclosure are accurate and detailed, and facilitate the public to obtain accurate government information. The website of the district government has opened "Five Openings" related columns, and all units disclose the corresponding government information for the public to understand and facilitate public affairs in accordance with the requirements of openness in decision-making, implementation, management, service and results. Before formulating policy documents, solicit opinions from the public through the collection column of policy documents on the website of the district government, so as to improve the scientific nature of policy formulation. Publish the catalogue of administrative normative documents registered by the district government on a monthly basis. Regularly transfer normative documents to relevant municipal departments. Regularly disclose the implementation of government affairs to the public through columns such as important livelihood projects on the website of the district government. Through government announcements and government standing Committee columns, the government management information of district governments and district-level units is announced to the public. Publicize the service information of individuals, legal persons and departments through the government service section. Publicize the results of administrative licensing, administrative coercion, administrative punishment and other information through the credit service section.

  According to the application disclosure. Handle the disclosure of government information according to the law and regulations, summarize the key points of accepting the application in the current month on a monthly basis, continue to promote the transformation of government information from application to active disclosure, and improve the level of government information disclosure in the whole region. Organize and release the laws and regulations, judicial interpretations, trial regulations of the High Court, as well as the laws and departmental rules and court precedents that are often used in practical work to all units in the region, so as to improve the legal literacy of the personnel of each unit who handle applications and improve their ability to handle documents according to applications.

  (four) the construction of government information disclosure platform

  Actively disclose the platform construction. In terms of decision-making, the website of the district government has set up a column for soliciting opinions on policy documents, and all units need to solicit opinions from the public through this column before formulating policies. In terms of publicity, columns such as important livelihood projects were opened, and the progress of various livelihood projects was publicized quarterly. In terms of management publicity, the government executive meeting column was opened to make the meeting contents of the district government executive meeting public. In terms of service disclosure and results disclosure, the intermediary service column was opened to disclose the intermediary service institutions and specific intermediary service matters of each unit to the public.

  Publicize the platform construction according to the application. In order to improve the efficiency of all units in the region to disclose applications and better serve the masses, the district government is actively promoting the construction of a district-level application-based disclosure platform. Relying on the platform can achieve accurate retrieval of application content, strengthen departmental linkage, facilitate information retrieval, shorten the waiting time for people to obtain government information, reduce the waste of resources of administrative organs, and improve the efficiency of all units in the region in handling applications; For different types of application content, the staff can carry out special study to improve the application skills of corresponding answers; All kinds of laws and regulations related to information disclosure, judicial interpretations, trial regulations of the High Court, and precedents of information disclosure cases published by the platform can enable all units to realize open self-study upon application and improve the professional ability of staff.

  (five) the supervision and protection of government information disclosure and education and training.

  The first is to strengthen business training. In order to improve ideological understanding, enhance the sense of responsibility, standardize the work of government information disclosure, and improve the professional level of government information disclosure, in 2020, the whole region will carry out two centralized trainings on government information disclosure. The training mainly focuses on the specific requirements of government information disclosure, legal application and matters needing attention, combined with specific practical cases, targeted analysis and explanation, and training from theoretical support and effective work skills. Carry out various forms of regular training, through video conferencing, WeChat group centralized Q&A, etc., carry out the training of open business according to application in stages, and carry out centralized training as appropriate to improve the professional quality of government information disclosure of staff in the whole region.

  The second is to strengthen business supervision. Strengthen the overall planning of the disclosure of applications in this district, take the initiative to understand the difficulties encountered in the disclosure of applications by all units, complete a round of active contact work for the disclosure of applications by all units in the district every quarter, and guide and solve the problems in the disclosure of applications by all units. Smooth all kinds of application acceptance channels of all departments in the region, and conduct full coverage inspection on the electronic acceptance channels publicized in the information disclosure guide of all units every quarter.

  (six) the results of work assessment, social appraisal and accountability.

  Check the government information disclosure work of all units in the whole region every quarter, and incorporate the government information disclosure work into the performance appraisal at the end of the year. No accountability in Fengtai District in 2020.

  Second, the initiative to disclose government information

Active disclosure of government information

  Iii. Receiving and handling applications for government information disclosure

Receiving and handling government information disclosure applications

  Four, the government information disclosure of administrative reconsideration and administrative litigation.

Administrative reconsideration and administrative litigation of government information disclosure

  Five, the main problems and improvement of government information disclosure work.

  (1) Main problems

  First, there is a lack of active publicity awareness and low publicity efficiency. Due to the epidemic situation or lack of energy, the information update is overtime. The staff of some units are not aware of publicity, and the disclosure of government information is not timely, which affects the smoothness of public access to government information and the efficiency of policy answers. Second, there is a lack of quality information and the quality of information disclosure is poor. Some units pursue the quantity of information release too much and ignore the necessity and practicability of public information. It is not conducive to the long-term development of government information disclosure. The third is the lack of innovation. At present, some platforms with little reading, poor interaction and low attention lack the creativity and content of keeping pace with the times, which makes the normalization of public work slow and the utilization rate of audience groups low.

  (II) Improvement situation

  The first is to enhance the awareness of active publicity. Clarify the importance of openness and normalization, focus on combing the areas where government information disclosure involves people’s livelihood and development planning, and set up special columns on the website of the district government for regular maintenance and update. In each quarter, the city (district) third-party assessment agencies after the assessment, according to the assessment results for special rectification, and the rectification results will be included in the year-end performance appraisal. Through online and offline study and analysis, each unit has made public cases according to its application, especially typical cases that triggered reconsideration litigation, conducted in-depth study and discussion, and put forward optimization and improvement measures.

  The second is to implement public work responsibilities. Strengthen self-examination and supervision of information disclosure websites. Carry out real-time supervision and self-examination around the website of the district government and new government media, and regularly sort out and analyze the requirements and standards for publicity. Improve the interactivity of policy answers and the satisfaction rate of the masses. And set up a special governance team for real-time monitoring and timely rectification.

  The third is to broaden the form of information disclosure. According to the requirements of the municipal government affairs service bureau on the index of government website construction, in addition to completing the standardization adjustment of the website pages of the district government, the website interaction and policy answering functions are enriched. In terms of interaction, make full use of the website special column to collect high-quality suggestions and enhance the innovative service ability. In terms of policy interpretation, the practicality of policy document interpretation is strictly required to avoid the situation of "copy and paste" interpretation, further improve the practicality of policy interpretation, and ensure that the enterprise masses can understand and understand it well. In terms of public participation, we will make full use of various forms such as press conference, conference opening system, government affairs open day, Weibo, WeChat and APP client to disclose government information, improve the coverage of government information, and enhance the recognition and support of enterprises for government work.
