Fed warns: Sino-US trade war may drag down US economic growth

  The reference news network reported on July 7. The US media said that the Federal Reserve said on the 5th that the uncertainty of the economic outlook has increased in recent months, but it pointed out that the fundamentals of the US economy are still relatively stable.

  According to the website of The Wall Street Journal reported on July 5, the Federal Reserve said in its semi-annual report to the US Congress that after 10 years of continuous expansion, the US economy is still stable. However, the report reiterates the recent warnings of policymakers that trade policies, global growth slowdown and other issues pose increasing risks to the economic outlook.

  The Fed said: "Since the beginning of May, the new news about economic activities has generally become somewhat pessimistic, and the uncertainty of the economic outlook has increased."

  According to the report, officials "will take appropriate measures to maintain the expansion momentum".

  The report also said that although the financial system is still "more resilient" than before the 2008 financial crisis, concerns about high-risk commercial loans have intensified.

  The Fed said: "There are signs that the credit standards of new leveraged loans are not solid enough and have further deteriorated in the past six months."

  The Fed also said that rising borrowing costs or slowing economic growth may pose "noteworthy risks" to these companies and their creditors.

  The report said: "Such a development may increase the downside risks of economic activities."

  According to the plan, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will submit this report and testify in Congress on the 10th and 11th.

  The latest economic forecast released by the Federal Reserve on June 19th shows that most policymakers expect the unemployment rate in the United States to stabilize at around 3.6% before the end of this year. It is estimated that the US economy will grow by 2.1% in 2019, while the inflation rate will remain at 1.5%.

  The forecast shows that among the 17 officials who made predictions before the June meeting, 8 said they expected to cut interest rates this year.

  The report shows that the "unusual price drop" probably led to the recent low inflation data. The report also reiterated the view of policy makers that this phenomenon may be "temporary".

  The futures market believes that the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates at the upcoming meeting is close to 100%. Most central bank officials refused to recognize or refute this possibility in their recent statements. Some officials said they hope to see more data about economic performance in the next few weeks before making a decision.

  Recently, as American and Chinese leaders reached an agreement on resuming trade negotiations, one of the biggest sources of uncertainty — — US-China Trade Disputes — — The prospects have improved.

  According to the monthly employment report released by the US Department of Labor on the 5th, following the weak employment data in May, the US economy added 224,000 jobs last month. The Fed report also pointed out that the labor market is still a bright spot in the economic outlook.

  In recent weeks, some policymakers have been worried that interest rate cuts at this stage may increase the risk of financial imbalances in high-risk corporate debt markets and other fields.

  According to a report on the website of The New York Times on July 5, Fed officials are worried that the uncertainty caused by the US-China trade war may curb corporate spending, and may lead to a slowdown in manufacturing production and drag down economic growth.

  The semi-annual monetary policy report issued by the Federal Reserve raised these concerns. According to the report, the current US financial system is more resilient than before the 2008 financial crisis. In the first half of this year, economic activities grew "steadily" and the job market performed well. However, the report also points out the risk that the trade dispute between the United States and China will gradually emerge as it drags on for a long time.

  The Fed said that the latest round of tariff increase "seems to reduce the import and export of the United States and other countries, and the uncertainty of trade policy may lead enterprises to postpone investment decisions and reduce capital expenditures".

Beijing welcomes strong winds, cooling and dusty weather.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 20 (Reporter Ni Yuanjin) The Beijing Meteorological Bureau reported on the 20th that due to the influence of strong cold air, the Beijing area ushered in a strong wind and cooling process on the night of the 19th, accompanied by dusty weather. A blue warning signal of strong wind was issued, and the temperature dropped significantly. It is expected that this round of weather process will end on the 21st.

  Du Jia, chief forecaster of Beijing Meteorological Observatory, said that during the day of 20th, there were 4 or 5 northerly winds and 7 or 8 gusts in Beijing. By the afternoon of 21st, there were still 3 or 4 southerly winds with 6 gusts. Affected by the upstream dust transportation and local strong winds, the dust weather began to affect Beijing on the night of the 19th, and the visibility dropped to 2-6 kilometers at the lowest.

  The windy weather also brought about a significant drop in temperature. "The maximum temperature dropped by 10℃ to 12℃ in 48 hours. From the 20 th to the 21 ST, the highest temperature in Beijing during the day dropped to 15 C to 21 C, and the lowest temperature at night was 8 C to 12 C. " Du Jia said.

  Sandstorm weather is divided into floating dust, sand blowing, sandstorm, strong sandstorm, extra-strong sandstorm and other different categories according to factors such as whether dust and sand on the ground are blowing and horizontal visibility. According to the Meteorological Propaganda and Science Popularization Center of China Meteorological Bureau, three conditions need to be met to form a sandstorm. First, the strong wind as the power source; Second, as the material basis, the dust source; Third, the unstable air conditions that make the dust roll higher.

  Why do you feel windy and dusty this spring? Du Jia said that statistics show that the temperature rose rapidly in the spring of March, and the sand source areas in the north began to thaw, but there was less precipitation. At the same time, cold air activities in the north were still frequent and windy weather was frequent.

  According to the news of China Meteorological Bureau, from 19th to 20th, due to the influence of cold air and strong wind, there were sandstorms or floating dust in southern Xinjiang basin and east, most of Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, northwestern Shaanxi, northwestern Shanxi, northern Hebei, northern Beijing, central and western Liaoning, central and western Jilin and central and western Heilongjiang. Among them, there were sandstorms in parts of southern Xinjiang basin, western Inner Mongolia and Hexi Gansu, and there were strong sandstorms locally.

  The meteorological department reminds that when windy and dusty weather occurs, you should stay away from tall buildings, billboards and temporary structures, and beware of falling objects. The elderly, children and people with respiratory allergic diseases should try their best to go out, and outdoor activities need to wear masks for protection.

May life turn into that lotus flower! This is the Nezha era of China animated films.


Special feature of 1905 film network After sleeping for 178 days, China Cinema finally woke up on July 20th.As early as three days ago, at 5: 40 p.m. on July 17th, the first ticket for the national cinema after the awakening of the China movie "Dragon" was sold at the first time when the pre-sale was opened — — Here’s the ticket.


Coincidentally, Nezha, a little hero of the country who is "my life depends on me", is the epitome of millions of filmmakers who have persisted since they experienced the epidemic and natural disasters; This memorable movie ticket is just enough to prove — — A filmmaker is his own hero; When last year’s box office champion met the first ticket of this year, it seemed to indicate the good color of China’s film to climb the peak again … …


On the other hand, it was no accident that Ne Zha broke the box office record in China last year. In fact, China animated films, like the lotus flower in midsummer, have entered the Nezha era.


In midsummer, Huolian, a group of teenagers who are dizzy with "magic children coming to the world"


Many people’s first impression of Nezha as a child comes from Prince Nezha in the 86th edition of The Journey to the West. However, his charm is greatly reduced under the aura of the protagonist of the Westward Journey Quartet, and his play is not even as good as Hong Haier, who is more like Nezha itself.



Four years later, in the TV series "The List of Gods", Nezha, with a handsome appearance, finally became one of the protagonists, and even the ending song of the TV series was a theme song of Nezha.



But in fact, the real animated image of Nezha came out as early as 1961. In the landmark works of China animation jointly directed by Wan Laiming and Tang Cheng of Shanghai Animation Film Studio, the image of Nezha with traditional artistic color appeared on the big screen as one of the Monkey King’s strong rivals.



The China animation classic, which is as famous as "Making a scene in Heaven", is the first large-scale color wide-screen animated feature film in 1979, in which young Nezha’s rebellious spirit against patriarchy is touching. For many years, the scene of Nezha, a teenager, whose eyes are bright and his eyes are white, beating snow, and committing suicide with a sword in a storm as dark as night is still vivid. This profound tragic artistic conception has disappeared with the aging and commercialization of Chinese cartoons.



In the following decades, the two twin peaks in China’s animation film history, "Making a scene in Heaven" and "Making a scene in the sea", once encountered the dilemma of "no one came after", and Nezha’s image (even the animation images related to it) has never made a leap forward. Although this eye-catching Chun-Li version of Nezha once appeared, it is still the commercial core of patchwork and reproduction.



The "Nezha shortage" was not solved until last year. In other words, last year was the real animation "Nezha Year". Needless to say, Ne Zha broke the box office of 5 billion yuan, and needless to say, the plot that pierced the heart and the special effects of bursting, just the successful rewriting of the inhuman break between father and son in the original book is enough to reflect the times tentacles and innovative consciousness of contemporary China animation creators.



In the same year, the image of Nezha, a teenager, reappeared in the excellent works of word of mouth, and his "unhappy" personality and Xiao Hei’s "mindless" style were full of comedy effects.



At the same time, the film, which was produced by director Evonne and the original team for four years, has also been completed. The film was shortlisted in the "WIP(Work in Progress)" unit of the 2020 French Anxi International Animation Film Festival, and it is expected to meet the audience this summer. Judging from the released materials at present, it should be a Cyberpunk-style Nezha animated film.


Last week, Ma Boyong’s realistic fantasy novel also released a batch of conceptual design drawings, and the steampunk Nezha story combining traditional bazaar with future technology was also expected.


At this point, we can announce that the "Nezha era" of China animation has quietly arrived with the lotus flower in midsummer. Both Ne Zha’s reasonable rewriting of classic legends and the sci-fi imagination of Nezha’s future in Rebirth of Nezha and The Legend of Nezha, Dragon and Subway are creative excavations of Nezha’s potential as a "treasure boy", which will surely inspire China animators with more creative combinations and inspiration paths.


More importantly, from the classic "What’s Noisy about the Sea" to the creative version of Ne Zha, the reason why it can truly become a landmark work is not the technological progress from 2D to 3D, but the fullness of the characters and the touching plot. Whether it is a young hero who "cuts the flesh and returns the bones to his mother" or a young hero who is resigned to my fate, Nezha’s image is the most vivid reflection of the times, and he is self-forbearing.


At the same time, the image of Nezha is essentially a rebellious teenager and an innocent child. The portrayal of this image has always been a weak link in China animation and even China movies. Starting with Nezha, a mythical juvenile image, we can not only give full play to the imagination of animators, but also fully display the features of contemporary children in freer animation creation, thus laying a good foundation for the juvenile images of China animation and China movies.


On the other hand, the "Nezha Era" of China’s animation is exactly the "Great Sage Era".


The Golden Monkey Rise and the Self-rescue Initiated by the Return of the Great Sage


The book was connected to the last time. Just as the peaks of two Chinese cartoons, The Heavenly Palace and What’s the Sea, have been difficult to surpass for more than 30 years, in 2015, it was born. When 3D technology met oriental aesthetics, when Hollywood road film structure collided with China fairy tales, it was necessary to save yourself before saving the world, and a "Great Sage" who returned with China animation was born.


In fact, the image of the Monkey King is not only the most distinctive imprint of China, but also one of the earliest animated images of China. As early as 1941, the vivid the Monkey King appeared in China’s first animated feature film directed by China animation master Wan Brothers, which absorbed the characteristics of the plastic arts of China opera and became more vivid and interesting.



After that, the novel "Make a scene in Heaven", which was also manipulated by the Wan brothers, highlighted the Monkey King’s fearless spirit and character of struggle through the story of making a scene against the Dragon Palace and the Heaven, which was of great significance for the times. This image of the Great Sage, inspired by traditional Chinese opera, has influenced several generations of China animators in succession, and even the last classic animation of the last century, Lotus Lantern, has followed this image.



The real image breakthrough is undoubtedly the long-faced monkey in The Return of the Great Sage — — Of course, it’s not just its shape. Its biggest breakthrough lies in the complex and humanized character shaping. As the saying goes, "One mind becomes a demon, and one mind becomes a Buddha", we finally see the Monkey King, who is the most like a "human" with both magical and Buddhist moods, sharing the dual characteristics of cowardice and bravery, and undertaking the dual tasks of saving people and saving themselves, thus truly breaking the imprisonment of traditional mythological images, allowing the Monkey King’s mission of fighting against heaven and earth to return to people’s hearts, and self-rescue has become a spiritual dilemma faced by the Monkey King and the audience at the same time, and the Great Sage has further become himself reflected by the audience in the mirror of the screen.


At the same time, the success of The Return of the Great Sage also puts forward high requirements for its sequel — — At present, its sequel has released an ink poster, and it is believed that oriental aesthetics and animation special effects will collide with each other more brilliantly after five years. The story should be a prequel to The Return of the Great Sage 500 years ago, and what breakthroughs will be made in the image of Nezha as the opponent of the Great Sage, which is undoubtedly a chapter worthy of special writing by the creator.


It is not difficult to see that the two eras of "Great Sage" and "Nezha" of China animation in the new century, which started in 2015, just correspond to the two peaks of "Making a scene in Heaven" and "What makes a scene in the sea" from the early 1960s to the late 1970s. Under the same character prototype and story framework, it is the role-building and connotation innovation that is closer to the present life and responds to the call of the times. The re-reflection of history has never brought about standing still, but ".


Looking ahead, who will open the next era after Nezha? The phrase "Jiang Ziya, do you know the crime?" It seems that the answer has been given. The half-year delay due to the epidemic has undoubtedly made too many fans look forward to it, and the retaliatory movie-watching consumption brought by this repression will surely become a signal that the next era will come early.


Judging from the bitter expression on the previously released poster, Jiang Ziya in the film is nothing more than a middle-aged man in the double dilemma of saving the whole life and saving himself — — Just as Dasheng, who returned in 2015, is the representative of the "middle-aged crisis" of domestic animation heroes, this will form a double-track domestic animation narrative line for middle-aged and teenagers together with Nezha, a rebellious young man who is "my fate depends on my nature", and go hand in hand in the endless treasure jar of traditional myths and the oriental aesthetics that is independent of the world.


Li Keqiang: Vaccine quality and safety is an untouchable "red line"

  "The series of cases of illegally operating vaccines in Jinan, Shandong Province are of a bad nature and the lessons are profound. The life and health of the people are more important than Mount Tai. We must be highly responsible to the people and the country, and we must thoroughly investigate and deal with it seriously and never tolerate it! " Premier Li Keqiang said at the the State Council executive meeting on April 13th.

  On the same day, the meeting heard a report on the investigation, handling and supervision of a series of cases of illegal operation of vaccines in Jinan, Shandong Province, and adopted the Decision of the State Council on Revision. Li Keqiang said that vaccine quality and safety are related to people’s lives and health, especially children’s, and it is an untouchable "red line".

  He stressed that it is necessary to severely crack down on illegal and criminal acts in accordance with the law, and at the same time, seriously blame the relevant dereliction of duty, and further improve the drug supervision system and the long-term mechanism for vaccine management to effectively protect people’s lives and health.

  We will crack down on criminal acts with an "iron fist" according to law, and we will be seriously accountable for related dereliction of duty and will not tolerate it.

  At the meeting, the heads of the joint investigation team approved by the State Council and the work inspection team of the State Council successively reported the relevant investigation and inspection results of vaccine series cases.

  In March this year, after a series of cases of illegal handling of vaccines occurred in Jinan, Shandong Province, Premier Li Keqiang quickly issued important instructions, demanding that the Food and Drug Administration, the Health and Family Planning Commission and the Ministry of Public Security earnestly strengthen coordination and thoroughly investigate the flow and use of "problem vaccines". Relevant departments in the State Council immediately formed a joint investigation team to conduct in-depth field investigation, promote the nationwide joint investigation, intensify supervision and guidance on case investigation, and organize the safety and effectiveness evaluation of the seized vaccine. At the same time, the State Council sent an inspection team to supervise the whole process of investigation and handling.

  At the executive meeting on April 13th, the head of the joint investigation team reported that in the first phase of investigation and handling, 192 criminal cases were filed and 202 people were detained. According to the identified situation, the meeting decided to hold the responsible persons in 17 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as the General Administration of Food and Drug Administration, the Health and Family Planning Commission and Shandong accountable according to the law and discipline, and the relevant parties first dismissed and demoted 357 public officials. The next step is to resolutely punish illegal crimes and dereliction of duty in accordance with the law, and put forward suggestions for further accountability according to the investigation and handling of cases.

  Li Keqiang made it clear that we should continue to thoroughly investigate the case, set up a ledger for every clue, supervise key cases, and pay attention to finding out the people involved, criminal facts and vaccine flow.

  "The World Health Organization, through scientific argumentation, believes that improperly stored or expired vaccines will hardly cause toxic reactions, so the vaccine safety risk of this incident is very low. But the relevant departments must establish such a consciousness: ‘ Low risk ’ Not equal to ‘ There is no risk at all ’ 。” The Prime Minister said, "It must be in accordance with the law ‘ Iron fist ’ Crack down on criminal acts, be seriously accountable for related dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty, and never tolerate it! "

  The key is to improve the supervision after the event and establish a long-term mechanism for vaccine management.

  Li Keqiang said that the series of vaccine cases are serious illegal and criminal acts, and at the same time, they also exposed many institutional loopholes in supervision.

  "How can vaccines that do not meet the transportation specifications flow to so many places and last for so long?" The Prime Minister said sternly, "There are illegal and criminal acts in it, which need to be dealt with seriously; At the same time, it also reflects the lack of responsibility of some cadres, ‘ Inaction ’ Wait for questions. "

  Li Keqiang emphasized that the current government is promoting decentralization, combining decentralization with management, and optimizing services. I have repeatedly stressed that while "decentralizing", we must strengthen supervision afterwards.

  "It is necessary to seriously hold accountable the responsible personnel of functional departments who have poor supervision in vaccine production, especially in circulation and vaccination, and the leaders of local governments who have outstanding problems in illegally operating vaccines." The Prime Minister said, "The series of vaccine cases once again prove that ‘ Approval ’ It is uncontrollable. The key is to improve post-event supervision and establish a long-term mechanism for vaccine management. "

  On the same day, the meeting adopted the Decision of the State Council on Revision, emphasizing the need to treat both the symptoms and root causes, strengthen system supervision, strictly manage vaccine circulation, establish a whole-course traceability system for vaccines from production to use, increase punishment and accountability, and increase the provision that the principal responsible persons of local governments and departments "take the blame and resign".

  "We must earnestly learn lessons, take effective measures to treat both the symptoms and root causes, fundamentally plug defects and loopholes in the system, and effectively protect people’s lives and health!" The Prime Minister said.

  Ordinary people will vote with their feet to buy products they trust!

  Li Keqiang emphasized that the vaccine case is not only related to people’s health, but also to the government’s credibility and Chinese people’s confidence in "Made in China".

  "A few years ago ‘ Melamine ’ The impact of the incident on the whole milk powder industry still has an impact. We must not let similar incidents happen again. " The Prime Minister said.

  Li Keqiang earnestly warned the participants: "If we can’t put ‘ Made in China ’ If you make a golden signboard, ordinary people will vote with their feet to buy products they trust! "

  He asked relevant departments to come up with countermeasures to improve the quality of consumer goods as soon as possible, so as to upgrade "Made in China" to "Made in China" and boost consumer confidence.

  Change our thinking and respond to social concerns in a timely and proactive manner.

  A department head said in his speech that the investigation is still in progress and it is still difficult to give a complete response to the public. Li Keqiang immediately said that he should change his thinking and respond to social concerns in a timely and active manner.

  "If it is a rumor, it is necessary to investigate and clarify it in time; If the problem is complicated and it is impossible to draw a conclusion at the moment, it should also show the public that the government has found the problem and is dealing with it quickly, and will announce the results of the investigation as soon as possible. " The Prime Minister said.

  Li Keqiang once again stressed that a very important feature of modern government is to respond to social concerns in a timely manner. This is also an important means of "expected management" in the market economy.

  "Without confidence, there is no active market. All localities and departments should actively respond to social concerns in a timely manner, establish social confidence, and give the market a positive and stable expectation. " The Prime Minister said.

Investigation on the biggest store tide in the department store industry: the closing of physical stores is not entirely due to e-commerce

  take stock of

  The Piaoliang Shopping Center in the Asian Games Village was acquired by US$ 1. It is also reported that Parkson Sun Palace Store and Huatang Shilibao Store will be closed next month, which adds new content to the already long list of closed stores of physical businesses. Some insiders even predict that the department store retail industry will usher in the harshest wave of bankruptcy this year. So, has Yan Dong of the retail industry really arrived? Where is the future of physical commerce?

  An Yu (pseudonym), who has been running a boutique children’s shoe store for four years, told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter yesterday that she would quit the store at the end of this month. Her shoe store is located in Piaoliang Shopping Center of Asian Games Village, and its income has plummeted for many years. Recently, there was news about this center: it was acquired by Hua Xun Company for $1. "Business is thin! I heard that the rent will go up after the renovation. " An Yu said, but in the face of the backlog of thousands of pairs of children’s shoes in the warehouse, she could do nothing. The embarrassing situation of Piaoliang Shopping Center and merchants An Yu is the epitome of China department store retail industry at present, and the news of store closing, closing down and reselling at low prices is frequently reported in newspapers. Some insiders predict that in 2016, department stores will usher in the most severe wave of closure.

  event

  With a debt of 1.5 billion, Piaoliang Shopping Center was sold at a low price.

  A few days ago, there was a news in Piaoliang Shopping Center, where An Yu was located, which shocked the industry: the debt was RMB 1.5 billion, which was acquired by Hua Xun Company for US$ 1. Hua Xun Company announced on the 19th of this month that Watson Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hua Xun, will acquire all the issued shares of Bonroy Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bonroy International Group Limited, and indirectly own the ownership of Piaoliang Shopping Center at a cash consideration of USD 1. However, Piaoliang Shopping Center has been mortgaged to Gu Qi, the actual beneficiary of Yinghaotai Company, for failing to repay the RMB 1.5 billion owed by Foshan Yinghaotai Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yinghaotai Company). In addition, the announcement stated that the property was appraised by an independent property appraiser, and the valuation was about 2.14 billion yuan on June 30, 2016.

  On Friday, the reporter of Beiqing Daily visited the site and found that several unknown brands in the lobby on the first floor of the shopping mall were getting together for sale, which looked like a clothing wholesale market. As the prime location of the shopping center, the pattern here is a little chaotic, with cosmetics stores, nail shops and gold shops, all of which are unheard of brands. Looking around, half of the shops around are vacant. The shop next to Anyu Shoe Store has now been covered by the enclosure, which is printed with a huge font for investment promotion. According to An Yu, it used to be a pants store. At that time, the Zhejiang boss decorated the store and prepared to make it a brand pants image store. However, he didn’t think that the business was very poor and had to leave the store. At present, it has not been rented out for at least one and a half years.

  Piaoliang Shopping Center was officially opened in 2001. It is located in the gold business circle and living circle of the Asian Olympic Games in Chaoyang District, Beijing. There are many middle and high-grade residential areas, dining streets, office buildings, exhibition centers, etc. It is only one or two kilometers away from the Asian Games Village, Bird’s Nest Water Cube and other sports venues. The flow of residents, businesses and tourists is very sufficient. "In the past, many of my old customers came shopping by car or bus, and their children grew up wearing my shoes," An Yu recalled. "But now I haven’t seen them for a long time."

  particular case

  The shoe store that is losing money more and more is going to be withdrawn.

  On the south side of the first floor of Piaoliang Shopping Center in Asian Games Village, An Yu’s children’s shoes pavement is here. There are two banners in the most obvious position of the shelf: "Clearance sale, no one left". But the mall is still deserted, and more and more people come and go from the mall staff. The reporter of Beiqing Daily and An Yu sat not far from the shoe store drinking coffee and listening to her narration. No one walked into her shop for a whole hour, only the young shopping guide girl was playing with her mobile phone and waiting for customers. Opposite the shoe store is a coffee shop, and there is a Little Square outside the door. Many children in the nearby community are playing. When An Yu chose the site four years ago, I took a fancy to the location of this berth at a glance. Two years before its opening, the benefit of the shoe store was satisfactory, with an average monthly turnover of more than 20,000 yuan and a profit of 40% to 50%. However, it got worse every year. Especially since last year, the turnover has been declining all the way, from more than 20,000 to more than 10,000 per month, and it has gradually become several thousand yuan, especially in the off-season of February this year, only 4,000 yuan was sold. "It is not enough for monthly rent!" She said. An Yu’s shoe store currently has a monthly rent of 5,000 yuan. In order to save costs, she only hired a shopping guide and her own two shifts, with a salary of 2,500 yuan. Together with the cost of electricity and shoes, she counted her fingers to the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "I am losing money in this business now!"

  Talking about when the shoe store just opened in 2012, An Yu still remembers it clearly. There are good brand shoe stores on the first floor of the shopping mall, including Belle and Saturday, and customers have a lot of choices. Clothing and cosmetics counters are also big names. However, problems occurred later. Shopping malls were particularly slow to settle accounts for merchants, and the payment was seriously pressed. The rents of shops were relatively expensive, and the sales of merchants could not be reached. Big brand companies negotiated with shopping malls to reduce rents, but they were rejected by shopping malls, so brand-name stores evacuated one after another.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw in the store that ONLY the well-known brands of clothing are still sticking to it. "There are no good brands, all of them are miscellaneous goods. Who will buy them!" An Yu is worried. At the end of this month, An Yu is also ready to withdraw from the store, because she heard the gossip in the store that the owner will raise the rent after redecorating the store. Think about the future, An Yu is sad, thousands of pairs of children’s shoes are accumulated in the warehouse, and no one wants them for sale. "I really don’t know what to do."

  press sb for an interview

  Two department stores will close next month.

  In fact, in the current overall economic downturn, the entire retail industry is in a period of continuous and deep adjustment. The example of Piaoliang Shopping Center being sold at a low price is only a portrayal of the decline of the entire department store retail format.

  On the evening of September 13th this year, Parkson Group, the largest department store in Malaysia, announced that it would sell all the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary in China and the creditor’s rights of relevant shareholders. According to the media investigation, the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parkson Group — — Beijing huadesheng property management co., ltd. The property operated by the company is Parkson Sun Palace Store located in Chaoyang District, Beijing, which has been in a state of loss since it opened in 2010. As of July 31, 2016, the unaudited net book value of Sun Palace Parkson was 1.032 billion yuan. Parkson said that the group estimated that the net proceeds from the sale of the store would be about 1.9 billion yuan, and the takeover was made by Shenzhen former Haitulan Investment Company, and the property delivery would be completed by the end of this year. Parkson Group’s revenue in the first half of this year was 8.495 billion yuan, down 12% year-on-year, and its net profit loss was 124 million yuan, down 85.65% year-on-year.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily visited Parkson Sun Palace Store and Fuxing Store this Friday. Sun Palace Store is doing a "30% discount on autumn clothes" promotion. At the special sale on the first floor, brand women’s dresses such as CARA and Rheinland are on sale at a discount, but there are few customers. The phenomenon that shops on the third, fourth and fifth floors are vacant is becoming more and more serious. The sixth floor has been completely closed. There used to be four or five restaurants on the seventh floor, but now there is only a beauty salon and a fast food restaurant, and no diners come at lunch. It is reported that Sun Palace Parkson will be closed on October 31st.

  Fuxingmen Parkson is holding a discount for its 22nd anniversary. The main brands buy 300 yuan and send it to 220 yuan. Although the discount is not small, the consumer’s bag carrying rate is very low. Wangpu, which faces Chang ‘an Avenue on the first floor, is currently vacant. Miss He, a tourist from Zhengzhou, walked around the store and was about to leave. "There are no brands I like here. I’ll go to Xidan to look for them." She said. The "brands" mentioned by Miss He are fashionable and fast-selling brands like ZARA, H&M, Uniqlo, C&A and so on. However, the clothing brands seen by reporters of Beiqing Daily in two Parkson shopping centers are either too old or completely unknown.

  It’s not just Parkson Sun Palace that wants to close the store. On September 20th, the Huatang Shopping Mall in Shilibao suddenly reported that Shilibao Store in Huatang Shopping Mall will be closed from November 1st, 2016. The staff of the service desk of Shilibao Huatang also confirmed this when asked by the reporter of Beiqing Daily. Regarding the reason for the sudden closure of the Shilibao Huatang Shopping Mall, the relevant person of Huatang said in an interview with the media that the continuous loss was one of the reasons for the closure of the store.

  Since the end of April 2014, Huatang has closed Beijing Wangjing Store; Four months later, Huatang Beiyuan Store was closed; On December 1 of the same year, Xizhimen Store was closed; At the end of March 2015, Huatang Youanmen Store was closed; In July 2016, Daxing Store of Huatang Shopping Mall was closed. Counting Shilibao Store, only three of the original nine Huatang stores in Beijing will operate normally, namely Asian Games Village Store, Fengtai North Road Store and Sanlitun Food Hall.

  Parkson is still full of confidence in the China market

  In 1994, Parkson Fuxingmen Store, known as the first foreign department store in mainland China, opened in Beijing, positioning itself as a high-end fashion department store. Now that 22 years have passed, is this Malaysian retail brand going to withdraw from the China market?

  Parkson Commercial Group said in response to the media a few days ago that Parkson only sold the Sun Palace store in Beijing and did not involve other regional stores. It is misunderstood that Parkson will sell all its business in China and withdraw from the China market. In a reply letter to the media, Tansley Heng Jem Cheng, executive director and chairman of Parkson, said that in the future, Parkson will still be full of commitment and confidence in China’s consumer market, and will strive to strengthen its retail format and continue to promote its transformation strategy.

  But in fact, the drama of Parkson’s closing shop has been staged continuously. According to public information, from 2012 to 2015, Parkson has closed at least 8 stores. So far this year, Parkson has closed three stores, including two in Chongqing and one in Xi ‘an. Beijing Sun Palace Parkson, which will be closed at the end of October, will become the 12th shopping mall closed by Parkson in China.

  It is worth mentioning that in order to cope with the increasingly fierce market competition, Parkson Group is also seeking transformation. According to the 2015 annual report of Parkson Group, in order to better deepen strategic transformation, avoid market risks and prepare for the future, the company will continue to strengthen three strategic pillars, namely, retail format and network optimization, increase of products and services, and strengthen cross-platform customer interaction.

  There are rumors that Sun Palace Parkson will be transformed into an office building, but this rumor has not been officially confirmed. Sun Palace Parkson is located in the northeast corner of Sun Palace Bridge on North Third Ring Road, with a convenient location. Take Metro Line 13 and get off at Guangximen, and walk a few minutes from the subway entrance. According to the survey results, the rent of medium-quality office buildings near the North Third Ring Road can be around 8.5-9 yuan/day/square meter.

  The closure of physical stores is not entirely due to the impact of e-commerce

  In An Yu’s view, the main reason for the loss of shoe store customers is the impact from e-commerce. Her feelings about this are very obvious: "Many customers are like this now. He wants to buy shoes, tries on the shoe size from my store and then buys them online." In An Yu’s view, online sales have no personnel costs, rental costs, water and electricity costs, etc., and the burden is very light and the price advantage is strong, which makes it difficult for physical stores to do it. She once secretly investigated that the online price of her own brand children’s shoes is only 50 yuan per pair. "But the wholesale price that Beijing always gives us is already a pair of 60 yuan. If I sell 90 yuan, customers will definitely say it is expensive." In fact, even if the price is marked like this, the physical store will not make money. Calculated by the profit rate of 33%, even if An Yu now achieves a turnover of 20,000 yuan, the profit is only 6,600 yuan, and it is not enough to plan the store rent. In this regard, she has communicated with Beijing Zongdai many times, but it has been fruitless.

  Is the department store industry really hard to survive due to the impact of e-commerce? The relevant person in charge of the China Chain Store & Franchise Association said in an interview with the media that the closing of physical stores is not entirely due to the impact of e-commerce, but also the weak growth of the real economy, high labor costs, rental costs and tax costs, which are eroding the already low profits.

  Some insiders believe that the adjustment of the department store industry is a natural law of survival of the fittest and a normal market behavior. For a long time, the department store industry will still exist and be in a state of change. Experiential shopping in the future is a direction for the future development of China’s retail industry, but whether it is department stores or shopping centers, city squares or outlets, these retail formats are reasonable as long as they meet the market demand.

  According to the statistics of the Top 100 Chain Stores in China released by China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the sales scale of the Top 100 Chain Stores in 2015 was 2.1 trillion RMB, an increase of only 4.3%, the lowest in the past years, and the department store format even declined by -0.7%.

  transform

  Scenery and experience department stores are the way out in the future.

  When talking about the future, An Yu looked confused: "I don’t know what to do in the future." Now her warehouse is full of children’s shoes, which have been earned in the past four years. Failure to sell them quickly means that the investment is lost. A friend once suggested that she open an online shop, and she tried it, only to find that it was not as easy as she thought. "It takes money to do promotion in Taobao," An Yu said. "My online shop didn’t do promotion. Only eight people came in a month, six of them were me, and the other two persuaded me to do promotion." In desperation, she thought of setting up a stall in the community morning market, but she was worried that her brand of children’s shoes did not match the low-priced style of the morning market. "I just sold a pair of 50 yuan at a loss, and it is estimated that no one will buy it."

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily visited a number of department stores and found that the traditional department store model was too old-fashioned and single. Their layout was still cosmetics on the first floor, women’s clothing on the second floor, men’s clothing on the third floor and children’s clothing on the fourth floor. At most, a supermarket was opened on the ground floor, which was difficult to attract passengers.

  Compared with the traditional department store industry, scene and experience department stores are more popular, and children’s parks, restaurants, cinemas and supermarkets have become the standard of shopping centers. The so-called scene refers to the addition of children’s experience areas, such as children’s paradise, flip-flop, infant swimming pool, beer garden, theme park and so on. Many shopping malls often cooperate with the community to engage in large-scale performances, competitions and other entertainment activities, first attracting popularity, and then trying to turn them into consumers.

  Secondly, experience, here more refers to quality catering. At the Aegean Shopping Center next to Parkson Sun Palace Store, at lunchtime, white-collar workers with badges stood on the escalators on all floors. They all went straight to the food center on the fifth floor, where there were more than a dozen restaurants, large and small, as well as food stalls, which were suitable for business banquets, friends’ gatherings and individuals to solve the problem of working meals. According to industry analysts, these diners are also potential customers of Shangchao.

  Shopping malls can’t compete with e-commerce because of different prices.

  Since the emergence of e-commerce, that is, a few years, many famous large shopping centers have gradually faded out of public view. With the crowded shopping malls in the past closed or changed hands, people in the industry are worried: where is the future of physical commerce? Has Yan Dong of the retail industry really arrived?

  In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily interviewed a sociologist. The expert believes that the whole world economic environment is now bad, and there are always people in China who say that the economy is declining and the growth rate of the real economy is declining. "But every time I go home, there are always some express cars at my doorstep, which are very busy. It seems that the purchasing power of society is very strong."

  Retail analysts point out that if there is no big problem with the overall purchasing power of the whole society, and many large supermarkets, such as Beiyuan Huatang and large shopping centers, such as Pacific Department Store, which have been proved to have strong operating ability in the past, have closed their doors and switched careers, it shows that the way of social consumption activities is changing and the concept of consumption activities is changing.

  In fact, since the Internet has gradually become the main communication channel for human beings, the way of life, the way of thinking and a series of inherent lifestyles based on it are changing.

  In the not-too-distant past, many people, especially younger people, would wander the streets after work. Men go to electrical appliances and photography shops, while women go to fashion shops and look at cosmetics and luxury shops. It is not necessary to buy anything, but mainly a mood. Walking in the long corridor of a magnificent high-end shopping mall, smelling the unique smell of high-end shopping malls, buying some snacks or sitting down for a cup of coffee was once a common leisure lifestyle of many white-collar workers.

  However, the Internet era has brought human beings into a virtual or semi-virtual society. People can chat and meet friends at home without going out, and they can see the outside world at home, even the world that doesn’t exist outside at all. So the herding of human beings was removed. More people choose to stay at home rather than go shopping in the mall.

  However, it seems a bit exaggerated to say that physical commerce has no future, and the winter of large shopping centers has arrived.

  After understanding why people are not keen on shopping, we will understand that the competition in shopping malls is not entirely due to the different costs and prices of the same commodity. Then it is clear where the future of physical commerce lies. The first is to change the original simple mode of operation, and the second is to transform into a service that the Internet cannot provide.

  The orientation of large shopping centers in foreign countries is mainly entertainment and leisure. Buses in all directions end in shopping centers, which have places for children to play, study, sports centers, cinemas, various restaurants and places for short breaks. Many families spend the whole weekend in the center. They actually created a complete living and leisure environment to attract customers. In addition, it is necessary to develop more non-food service industries. For example, many shopping centers are equipped with fan bars, gaming centers and other leisure services. Because you can’t enjoy these services at home anyway.

Hot comment: is the government encouraging or neutral when civil servants resign?


The picture shows a reader in Heilongjiang reading the Civil Service Law at Xinhua Bookstore (data picture).


  □ After a civil servant resigns, he will not be employed by an enterprise or other profit-making organization directly related to his original work within two years.


  From January 2000 to June 2003 alone, 10,304 leading party and government cadres at or above the department level resigned and went to sea.


  Civil servants "go to sea"


  Because of "encouraging" civil servants to go to sea, a "red-headed document" named "Several Provisions on Expanding Opening to the Outside World and Promoting Entrepreneurship for All" was issued in Shangqiu, Henan Province on May 22, which aroused widespread concern in society.


  Since the civil servants began to "go to the sea" in the 1980s, the first wave of "going to the sea" for civil servants started in the 1990s. Now this phenomenon has become commonplace, and the relevant laws and regulations have gradually increased. Should the government actively encourage civil servants to "go to the sea" or take a neutral attitude? Should the destination of "going to the sea" be limited and should all be compensated? These issues have always been controversial.


  Looking back on the civil servants’ going to sea for 20 years, relevant experts said that Article 13 of the Civil Servant Law and Article 7 of the Provisional Regulations on State Civil Servants, which adjusted the relationship between state civil servants before the entry into force of the Civil Servant Law, clearly stipulated that civil servants have the right to apply for resignation. However, civil servants must resign and start businesses within the framework of law. The relevant departments should increase research on this, formulate more detailed legal rules that conform to the modern government function concept, and improve the government’s public service quality.


  Introducer


  Xiao Gu, a civil servant in an office in Shangqiu City, is experiencing an ideological struggle recently: he will resign to the sea after receiving a compensation, or continue to work in this unit with low salary but stable work. Where to go? He is a little uncertain, "the next.


  Doing business in the sea, first, there is no way to make money, and second, the compensation you can get is not high. I’ve only been working for three or five years, and I can only get tens of thousands of dollars according to the regulations, which is not enough for any business. If you stay in the unit and work hard, you may be promoted in the future. "


  In Shangqiu, there are many civil servants who are hesitating or waiting to see like Xiao Gu. In May this year, Shangqiu issued the "Several Provisions on Expanding Opening to the Outside World and Promoting Entrepreneurship for All", which made civil servants and employees in institutions in the whole city reconsider their future career planning.


  This regulation was promulgated at the mobilization meeting of the practical activities of "great ideological emancipation, great economic development and great entrepreneurship for all" held by Shangqiu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on May 22 this year. According to this regulation, Shangqiu civil servants "encourage cadres of government agencies and institutions to take the lead in starting businesses." Civil servants who resign and start a business can be given a one-time economic compensation according to their own standard of "length of service ×5× average monthly salary of last year". In-service personnel of public institutions (except the health education system) who resign, the compensation standard is "length of service ×3× average monthly salary of last year".


  "The promulgation of the regulations is mainly aimed at promoting economic development. At the same time, it is also aimed at the idea that civil servants in some units are’ keeping their stalls, keeping their qualifications’ and not seeking progress, hoping to promote everyone’s enthusiasm. In addition, I hope that this regulation can be adopted to streamline the organization and eliminate redundant staff. " A responsible comrade of an organ in Shangqiu City expressed his understanding.


  From "hard to imagine" to "common"


  ● Civil servants’ "going to sea" has broken the concept of "official standard" to some extent, providing a new way to solve the problem that cadres can be promoted and demoted, and can enter and leave.


  The promulgation of this regulation in Shangqiu City, if viewed in a relatively long historical period, is not accidental.


  In the mid-1980 s, civil servants were still in a semi-concealed state when they went to sea, and their way of "going to sea" was mostly to transfer to state-owned enterprises at the same level; In the early 1990s, the pace of reform and opening up accelerated, and the whole China society entered an era of diversified value standards. With the improvement of the status of private enterprises, the tide of civil servants going to sea began to rise.


  In the late 1990 s, the reform of government institutions in China began in an all-round way, and the civil servants began to reorganize. In 1999, according to the decision of the Central National Conference on Local Institutional Reform, the number of township government departments in cities, counties and towns was no less than 2.8 million, which directly affected the process of civil servants’ "going to the sea". In addition, the Law on Sole Proprietary Enterprises and related laws and regulations promulgated in 2000 also provided institutional guarantee for civil servants to start businesses in the sea.


  Since then, the behavior of civil servants’ resignation and entrepreneurship has gradually entered a "normal" state from "hard to imagine", and even formed a wave in some places. According to Xinhua News Agency, from January 2000 to June 2003, a total of 10,304 leading cadres of the Party and government at or above the department level resigned and went to sea.


  "This phenomenon has a specific historical background and should be viewed in a specific economic and political environment, in which the allocation of human resources is an important reason." Professor Jiang Mingan from Peking University Law School said, "In the 1980s and 1990s, China society just began to transform from a planned economy to a market economy, and from an all-powerful government to a limited government. This transformation inevitably requires the allocation of human resources to adapt to it. But in China at that time, talents, especially elite talents, were mostly concentrated in government agencies. There is a surplus of talents in government agencies and overstaffed people, but there is a shortage of talents in the market, especially management talents and pioneering and innovative talents. "


  According to Professor Jiang Mingan’s understanding, during this period, the task of adjusting the imbalance of human resources allocation was mainly undertaken by the government. Through a series of "encouraging" policy measures, such as unpaid leave, economic compensation, preferential loans, tax reduction and exemption, the government supports and promotes civil servants to "go to sea". Judging from the development speed and achievements of China’s market economy today, the government’s policy of encouraging and promoting civil servants to "go to sea" was undoubtedly correct, and the wave after wave of "going to sea" has undoubtedly made important contributions to promoting the transformation of China’s social system and concept.


  In addition, many people believe that the behavior of civil servants "going to the sea" has broken the traditional concept of official standard to some extent, and provided a new way to solve the problem of cadres being able to go up, down, in and out. At the same time, the "going to the sea" of civil servants has also broken through the boundaries of personnel exchanges between institutions and enterprises and institutions, reversed the situation that talents only flowed to institutions in the past, conformed to the development direction of talent management under the conditions of market economy, and also significantly improved the quality of enterprise managers, which is conducive to promoting the development of local economy.


  Will public resources be "commercialized"?


  ● As individuals, civil servants have the freedom to resign and start businesses; However, as a public service provider, the government should be cautious. 


  In this regulation of Shangqiu City, because the government has the attitude of "encouraging" civil servants to go to the sea, there is no restriction on the whereabouts of civil servants to go to the sea.


  Whether it is necessary to limit the whereabouts of civil servants "going to the sea" has always been a concern in the course of civil servants’ "going to the sea" for more than 20 years: these resigned civil servants will use the public resources they have mastered in the past to make profits.


  Professor Mao Shoulong, Executive Vice President of institute for public policy, Renmin University of China, once questioned that "going to sea" by civil servants would seriously damage fair competition in the market economy. Although the resigned civil servants have lost their identity and power, the public resources they have can still play a role in a certain period of time, thus affecting the legitimate competition in the market economy. "It must be strictly restricted."


  Regarding the abuse of public resources, Professor Li Qiang of Peking University School of Government Administration thinks that some foreign practices are worth learning. For example, they divide government members into political officials and civil servants. The sources of elected political officials are complicated, such as lawyers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, etc. All of them can be elected as political officials, but their term of office is relatively short and their number is relatively small. After the expiration of their term of office, there are few restrictions on their occupation. Comparatively speaking, the management of civil servants with strong professionalism is very strict. They have the freedom to "resign and go to sea", but there are strict regulations on preventing the commercialization of public resources, such as not engaging in business activities related to their original occupations for several years, in order to ensure that government departments can better provide public products and public services.


  Li Qiang analysis, in dealing with the issue of civil servants’ resignation and entrepreneurship, the key is that the government should put its position right. As an individual civil servant, of course, there is freedom to resign and start a business, but as a public service provider, the government needs to carefully consider its attitude. If the government promotes civil servants to "go to the sea" with a positive attitude, it is not in line with the concept of modern government functions, and the government needs to change its functions to provide public goods and services. 


  Urgent need for legal regulation


  ● The government must formulate appropriate policy provisions to encourage civil servants to resign and go to sea, especially the standard of economic compensation.


  "Shangqiu stipulates that from the perspective of streamlining institutions and diverting cadres, it is feasible for the government to provide some study or resettlement expenses for the diverted personnel. But from the perspective of economic development and attracting investment, can civil servants start businesses better than ordinary people when they go to sea? How to exclude civil servants from using the public resources they occupy and compete fairly with others in the entrepreneurial market? Policies should have more detailed regulations. " Li Qiang’s views are very representative.


  "How is this compensation standard in Shangqiu determined? Are there any restrictions on the industries that civil servants engage in after resigning? " On the Internet, many netizens have similar questions. Others believe that a large number of outstanding talents have gone from government agencies to business, and how to deal with the resulting job vacancies and the decline in the quality of public services caused by brain drain should also be considered in the process of formulating laws and policies.


  Jiang Mingan believes that the government must listen to the opinions of taxpayers through hearings, online discussions or other forms when formulating policy provisions to encourage civil servants to resign and go to sea, especially the standard of economic compensation. It should also report to the National People’s Congress and be reviewed and approved by the corresponding National People’s Congress or its Standing Committee. Because the money used to compensate civil servants who resigned from the "sea" is not the government’s, but the taxpayer’s and all the people’s. At the same time, the policy provisions formulated by the government to encourage civil servants to resign and go to sea, especially the economic compensation standards, must be appropriate, and must be coordinated with the compensation standards for government agencies to dismiss civil servants due to institutional adjustment, cancellation, merger, downsizing and layoffs, and there should be no disparity. The government does not need and should not give excessive economic compensation and inappropriate preferential policies to civil servants who resign and "go to sea".


  He also said that civil servants must abide by the restrictive provisions of the Civil Service Law on civil servants’ resignation when they resign. For example, civil servants who have not completed the minimum service period stipulated by the state are not allowed to resign, and civil servants in secret-related positions must be released before they can resign. Within two years (or three years if they were former leading members) after resigning, they are not allowed to work in enterprises or other for-profit organizations directly related to their original work, and they are not allowed to engage in for-profit activities directly related to their original work. In this regard, the relevant departments should refine the regulations, such as what is "direct correlation"? The resignation of civil servants and the government’s policy of "going to sea" for civil servants should also abide by these regulations.

Economic observation: What can the Belt and Road Initiative bring to RMB internationalization?

  China news agency, Beijing, August 13th (Reporter Wang Enbo) As two important arrangements in the new pattern of economic governance in China, there is huge room for the coordinated development of the Belt and Road Initiative and RMB internationalization. The former, in particular, has become a new driving force for the latter to keep moving forward.

  Nowadays, the RMB has become more and more "international". On October 1, 2016, the RMB was officially included in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket of the International Monetary Fund, and the road to internationalization ushered in a milestone. According to the statistics of SWIFT, as of June this year, more than 1,900 financial institutions around the world use RMB as the payment currency.

  So, what can the "Belt and Road" bring to the further internationalization of the RMB? Sun Guofeng, director of the Financial Research Institute of the People’s Bank of China, said at the first China Financial Forty Forum held recently that the international status of currency has created conditions for China’s banking system to provide overseas financing in the form of RMB. Exporting RMB under capital with the help of the Belt and Road Initiative is a sustainable internationalization strategy that is conducive to macroeconomic balance, in line with national welfare.

  Guan Tao, a senior researcher at the China Financial Forty Forum and former director of the Balance of Payments Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, pointed out that in 2016, the actual receipt and payment of RMB in cross-border trade between China and countries along the Belt and Road only accounted for 13.9% of the bilateral trade volume, and there is still much room for improvement. With the closer economic and trade exchanges between China and countries along the route, it is inevitable for the market to take RMB, one of the major international currencies, as the pricing negotiation currency in order to save exchange costs.

  However, under the current situation of exchange rate fluctuation and capital flow, RMB internationalization still has a long way to go. The National Financial Work Conference, which ended a few days ago, clearly pointed out that it is necessary to expand financial opening to the outside world, deepen the reform of RMB exchange rate formation mechanism, steadily promote RMB internationalization, and steadily realize capital account convertibility. At the same time, the meeting proposed to promote financial innovation in the construction of the "Belt and Road" and do a good job in the design of relevant systems.

  Sun Guofeng believes that taking advantage of the opportunity of the "Belt and Road" construction to promote the internationalization of the RMB should give full play to the role of various financial institutions, including development financial institutions. Because the "Belt and Road" construction has the characteristics of long project recovery cycle and huge capital demand, development finance can play an important role in it. At the same time, development finance and domestic and foreign commercial financial cooperation should be encouraged. The former mainly plays a leading role. After making profits, relevant institutions can transfer part of the financing to commercial financial institutions and continue to use the withdrawn funds for other development financial projects, so as to realize a benign turnover of funds.

  It is worth mentioning that the dispute over currency selection is a common problem in the process of promoting development finance. For example, there are voices that the interest rate of ten-year government bonds is only 0.05% due to the negative interest rate of the Japanese yen, and the absolute cost of financing is relatively low internationally. Comparatively speaking, will the higher cost of monetary financing lead to the lack of sufficient competitiveness in providing financing in China, thus slowing down the internationalization of RMB?

  According to Yin Yong, deputy governor of China People’s Bank, this understanding is not accurate. He pointed out that in developed financial markets, the choice of two currencies can be converted by currency swap operation, and both RMB and US dollar funds can be converted into Japanese yen with lower interest rate, and vice versa. In addition, China’s foreign exchange reserves include currencies of all developed countries and emerging market countries in the world, and if there are financing needs in other currencies, it can also meet them.

  "Because our RMB pool is relatively larger, we have a relatively competitive advantage in providing RMB funds, and the RMB should be able to ‘ Belt and Road ’ Play a greater role in construction. " Yin Yong said. (End)

  Barber shop — —

  Careful and thoughtful wins praise.

  "Can we get a haircut here?" A tall guy at the door poked his head in the store, and Wang Junyi warmly greeted him: "Hello! Sure! Please scan the code and take your temperature. " Rainbow Barber Shop, located in the corner of the second floor of a shopping mall in Honggutan New District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, has been back to work for more than a month since February 20th.

  Two managers of Rainbow Barber Shop — — Wang Junyi and Yan Zhihua are newcomers in Yichun City, Jiangxi Province. They went to Shenzhen to work hard in 2008, and returned to Nanchang at the end of last year to start a business. They jointly opened a barber shop. After only three months of business, they encountered an epidemic.

  "We are the first batch of barbershops that closed at the latest and opened at the earliest." Sitting at home, Wang Junyi is not relaxed at all: not to mention the rent of 16 thousand a month, just after the fifteenth day of the first month, old customers are asking, "When can the barber shop open?"

  Seeing the announcement from the Honggutan epidemic prevention headquarters, Wang Junyi began to take action. 30 packs of masks, 10 bottles of disinfectant, 4 boxes of eye masks and 1 temperature measuring gun … … It took more than 1000 yuan to prepare epidemic prevention materials, and at the same time, all six employees were given certificates of returning to work. The approval process for applying for returning to work is very fast: the materials are uploaded to the website, and the mailbox receives the qualified notice and can open the door for business.

  Customers should register with their real names, take their temperature and disinfect their hands when they enter the door. Disinfect at least twice a day in the shop. "Many customers come to ask for a haircut, and we can be busy from 10 am to 8: 00 pm." In this way, the store received more than 20 guests every day in the first week of opening, reaching the previous normal level.

  "Safety and health are the first!" Wang Junyi said. Although customers wear masks when they have a haircut, their awareness of protection will still be relaxed. "Wearing a mask can’t see the face clearly, and some guests will unconsciously want to reach out and take it off." In this regard, Wang Junyi told the shop assistants that he must communicate with customers patiently, so please take precautions first.

  The thoughtful service has won the praise of customers. "Little brother reminded me to wear a mask and cut it carefully." "I know that there is disinfection when I smell the smell in the store, and I feel quite at ease." Looking at customers’ comments on the Internet, Wang Junyi was full of energy: "We will resume normal business hours soon, from 10 am to 10 pm." Not long ago, the mall also issued a notice that it would reduce the rent for half a month. "Do a good job of protection, trust us and keep your whole beautiful hairstyle!" Wang Junyi said.

  Smart food delivery is more assured.

  "I wish you a pleasant meal. If you need other services, please contact the staff." Walking into the swimming pool store of Xinbailu Restaurant in Xiacheng District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the intelligent food delivery robot "Little Peanut" is busy delivering food. Xie Yi, the person in charge of the store, told the reporter that the introduction of the food delivery robot at the beginning of last year was originally only an auxiliary food delivery, but I didn’t expect it to be of great use during the epidemic. The novel way of food delivery also attracted the attention of Zonghan, a restaurant customer. She told reporters: "It’s safer to be served by a robot for the first time."

  Located in the Wulin business district of Hangzhou, this store has always been very popular. "Before the epidemic, people had to queue up for meals at peak hours like Saturday noon," Xie Yi said. Now, looking around the store, only a few tables of customers were arranged to eat at different tables.

  "At the beginning of the epidemic, the store not only faced the problem that the restaurant could not operate, but also faced the problems of rising food prices and inconvenient procurement." Xie Yi told reporters, "After discussion, we decided to actively expand the food delivery service." Using the available ingredients, the store carefully matched three nutritional and balanced work packages, and actively contacted the CDC and other epidemic prevention units to provide food delivery services. "Our original intention is very simple, that is, we hope that front-line anti-epidemic workers can eat well, and the price is basically guaranteed. Although we earn less than before, everyone is very motivated." Xie Yi said that as enterprises resume work and production one after another, stores actively connect with neighboring enterprises. He roughly estimated that more than 500 work packages like this can be sent out every day.

  After the take-out platform was restored on February 14th, the store reached cooperation with many well-known take-out platforms through street matchmaking, and launched the "cloud delivery" service to realize one-hour food delivery within the coverage of the store, so as to ensure that it would not be closed during the epidemic. "Nowadays, the daily take-away orders have rapidly increased from 100 to 800, basically returning to the previous level." Xie Yi said.

  With the increasing orders, how to ensure timely supply and how to ensure food safety? Xie Yi said: "Now the workload of canteen food is less, and more manpower is concentrated on online orders. Employees must hold health codes ‘ Green code ’ On duty, take body temperature three times a day. Not only that, the store is also disinfected three times a day in the morning, evening and evening. "

  After that, he pointed to a big screen in the store, which showed the work of the kitchen in real time. Xie Yi told reporters that the bright kitchen of Ming Kitchen has also been moved to the "cloud" and can be viewed at any time through the "Public Food Safety" platform in Hangzhou. "The catering production process is visualized, and the public can supervise it in real time, which also requires us to pay more attention to standardized operation." While speaking, it happened that a takeaway brother came to pick up the meal. I saw Xie Yi skillfully put a seal on the takeaway, measured the temperature of the takeaway brother, and put the "rest assured card" filled with health information such as the chef’s temperature into the takeaway bag.

  At present, the normal operation of the store has gradually resumed, and Xie Yi is also full of confidence in the future. "During this time, the staff of the Xiacheng District Market Supervision Bureau often come to the door to provide docking services, and the landlord has also exempted the rent for two months." He laughed. "There are so many policies to benefit enterprises, just like eating one ‘ Reassuring pills ’ What we have to do is to ensure food safety and the quality of dishes, so that the public can feel at ease. "

  Fresh supermarket — —

  Sufficient goods and busy distribution.

  There are plenty of rice and flour oil shelves, green leafy vegetables are neatly packed, and meat is well managed … … Luo Gome was relieved after walking around several stores. As the head of Ningshi Xinxinle Supermarket in Xining, Qinghai, he is very busy at this time.

  Luo Gome said that on the second day of the New Year’s Day, there was a peak sales volume in supermarkets. Whatever you say, you should also protect the needs of customers, coordinate manpower and material resources, and ensure the smooth supply of goods … … Ningshi Xinxinle Supermarket responded quickly.

  The whole supermarket has started a high-load operation state: the finance department has opened up a green payment channel to meet the purchasing needs of people’s livelihood and disinfection products; Under the premise of ensuring the quality, the fresh food department will increase the purchase quantity of vegetables and fruits, and ensure that there is no closing, no price increase, sufficient supply and quality assurance … … More than 40 stores have gradually restored their normal merchandise display.

  "At the beginning of the epidemic, we organized 45 tons of flour, 60 tons of rice, 50 tons of edible oil, 169 boxes of dried noodles and 1430 boxes of instant noodles to be put on the market, and distributed 18 tons of 143 varieties to urban areas and counties every day; At the same time, do a good job in epidemic prevention in the store, and carry out temperature measurement and hand disinfection for every customer who arrives at the store to ensure the safety of employees and consumers. " Luo Gome told reporters.

  During the epidemic, many people in Xining received goods from Ningshi Xinxinle Supermarket free of delivery fee at home. It turns out that in order to ensure the supply of daily necessities in the market, supermarkets innovate distribution channels, implement online order payment and offline contactless distribution. Some stores are delivered to the door by medical staff of Red Cross Hospital of Qinghai Province, elderly people who are inconvenient to travel, and consumers who are isolated at home due to the epidemic, and cheer them up with fresh ingredients.

  "The supermarket service is really great!" "I didn’t expect the delivery service to be so fast." … … Looking at the message in the "Customer WeChat Group", Luo Gome smiled and bent his eyes. "In particular, customers said that they should understand, support and tolerate our work. This kind of touch makes us feel that it is worthwhile to make more efforts. "

  "Next, we will actively expand online sales channels, combine with offline sales, and stand closest to consumers to make services more intimate." Speaking of the future, Luo Gome is full of confidence.
