Shandong’s "trade-in" activates new kinetic energy of consumption

Promoting the trade-in of consumer goods is an important measure to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality development. In March this year, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods. Subsequently, the Ministry of Commerce and other 14 departments issued the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods, which clarified the specific tasks of trade-in of consumer goods.

Shandong Province has thoroughly implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council’s trade-in action, and implemented the requirements of the action plan. The trade-in of consumer goods has continued to heat up and achieved remarkable results. Since July, in order to deeply report on the implementation of the trade-in policy for consumer goods in Shandong Province and tell the good story of trade-in for consumer goods in Shandong Province, the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce and International Business Daily have jointly launched a series of reports on the "observation of trade-in for consumer goods", and this station has come to Linyi, Shandong Province-

Linyi, as the most populous and largest city in Shandong Province, enjoys favorable policies such as the construction of national county-level commercial system and the support of provincial-level smart business circle, with high consumer market activity and great space potential. Since the national and provincial policies on the trade-in of consumer goods have been introduced one after another, Linyi City has been based on the reality, and the policy research and implementation have gone hand in hand, and all the work has achieved remarkable results.

Linyi city insists on boosting consumption as the starting point and motive force, according to the relevant policies of the central and provincial governments, firmly grasps the key points of "changing cars for energy, changing home appliances for wisdom, and rejuvenating kitchen and bathroom", cultivates the working mechanism of "grafting resources, sinking the center of gravity, interactive linkage and bridging operation", and strives to play the positive roles of "effective market" and "promising government".

"Trade-in" activates new kinetic energy of consumption. As of August 7th, the number of applications for automobile trade-in subsidies in Linyi City was 13,235, ranking among the top cities in China. By July 31st, the city had sold about 334,600 new machines (four machines and one brain), with a sales amount of about 1.16 billion yuan, and about 1.33 million old machines were recycled.

Head geese lead yan zhen to fly.

—— Create a "provincial sample" for automobile replacement.

In 6 days, 53 automobile brands ordered 8,500 automobiles, which boosted automobile consumption by 954 million yuan …

A set of vivid figures is a solid footprint left by Yuantong May 1 Auto Show in the promotion of trade-in of consumer goods in Linyi City. In less than a week, the consumption amount of an automobile comprehensive service park is almost 1 billion yuan. What is even more commendable is that this fiery has been going on from the May 1 holiday to the present.

Recently, when entering the Yuantong Automobile Plaza in Linyi, publicity information such as trade-in billboards and exhibition stands can be seen everywhere. The main entrance of each automobile business park is decorated with policy publicity materials for the project, and posters of trade-in and scrapping subsidies are posted at the entrance of the exhibition hall and after-sales maintenance entrance of each 4S shop.

Despite the scorching sun, the citizens who come to test drive and buy cars are still in an endless stream, and the parking lot outside the door is "hard to find". "It doesn’t look like the traffic that should be there on weekdays at all." Even Fu Yuanxing, the sales director of Wuling New Energy, who has been in the business for many years, rarely sees such a hot scene.

Mr. Han, who is in his thirties, lives in luozhuang, Linyi City. After driving a Volkswagen Santana car for 14 years, he finally made up his mind to replace a main model of Wuling New Energy named Binguo.

"The scrapping subsidy is too strong, and it is hard not to be tempted. In addition, the staff of Wuling 4S store has been calling to publicize relevant policies, and they came to the store to pick up the car today." Mr. Han can’t hide his inner joy. "There is no need to take care of anything when you drive an old car into the store. From the application for scrapping subsidies to the handling of various procedures, the staff provides full service, which is worry-free and labor-saving."

A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued the "Several Measures on Strengthening Support for Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods", which explicitly requested to raise the subsidy standard for automobile scrapping and renewal, and the upper limit of the subsidy standard was raised to 20,000 yuan.

In the context of the ongoing price war in the domestic automobile market, such car purchase subsidies are not a small amount for consumers. Take Mr. Han as an example. This new energy vehicle with a guide price of 75,800 yuan needs only 45,800 yuan on the road after a series of subsidies such as 20,000 yuan national scrapping subsidy, 3,000 yuan manufacturer subsidy and 4,000 yuan replacement.

Since the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods was released on April 24th, as of July 31st, Yuantong Group has sold a total of 27,781 vehicles, up 13.35% year-on-year. Among them, from May to July, a total of 2,276 vehicles were scrapped and sold for new ones, with a monthly average increase of 925.23% compared with that of scrapped cars in April. The trade-in activity has achieved initial results in promoting new car sales. From January to July, the Group sold a total of 53,393 vehicles of various types, up 13.07% year-on-year, and the replacement penetration rate was 25.12%, up 22.96% year-on-year.

Leading by leading enterprises in the industry, the cluster enterprises in Qian Fan are driven to compete.

According to the data of Linyi Municipal Bureau of Commerce, from January to July, Linyi City held 55 series of activities to promote consumption, which boosted consumption by about 2 billion yuan. Among them, the 31st Yuantong Auto Show was listed as the second stop of the 2024 Automobile Consumption Festival series by the Ministry of Commerce. As of August 8th, Linyi City has received a total of 13,563 applications for automobile trade-in, ranking first among prefecture-level cities in China, including 9,385 new energy vehicles and 4,178 fuel vehicles. Automobile trade-in has boosted the consumer market to set off a new round of "trade-in".

Building a whole industry chain

-a glimpse of the prosperity of the home appliance market from the dismantling.

At 6 o’clock on the morning of August 8, more than 60 trucks loaded with old household appliances such as used refrigerators and televisions stopped at Shandong Zhonglv Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. in turn, and more than 10,000 used household appliances were dismantled and recycled here every day.

Unloading, disassembling, product sorting, weighing, warehousing, loading … In Zhonglv Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. located in Linyi City, waste TV sets, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and computers were scanned and entered into the information, and then sent to the dismantling area in turn. "At present, the company has 8 domestic leading dismantling lines for waste electrical and electronic products, with an annual dismantling capacity of 2.8 million units." Chen Xuguo, head of the company, said.

Since May, the company has recovered 600,000 sets of various electrical appliances, up 36% year-on-year. Thousands of tons of plastic, steel, non-ferrous metals and other products were obtained by dismantling waste electrical appliances, realizing turning waste into treasure, appreciation and efficiency improvement.

Relying on the advantages of a perfect household appliance manufacturing system and a distribution center for household appliances, the recycling network of waste household appliances and other renewable resources in Linyi City has been continuously improved.

At present, more than 50 home appliances trade-in activities have been held to promote consumption, inciting market entities such as Golden Eagle Home Appliances and Kyushu Home Appliances to invest in trade-in subsidy funds in 2000.

Seeking internal strength and external symbiosis

-the capital of plates stimulates the new vitality of home improvement consumption.

The improvement of consumption is inseparable from the synergy between supply and demand. With the deepening of "trade-in", key home furnishing enterprises in Linyi have made great efforts to reform and revitalize the old, and higher quality services and greater subsidies have become the two major focus points, effectively releasing the potential of consumer demand.

Shopkeepers in Linyi, EasyHome, promoted the three marketing IP’s of "Finding EasyHome with Difficulties", "Trade-in Old Houses for New Faces" and actively promoted the action of "Trade-in Old Houses for New Faces" into the community. Through free home repair and maintenance of household products, free handling of large items, subsidies for collecting old ones and exclusive subsidies for the community, they increased the value-added services for community owners, and the preferential treatment of "service" and "subsidy" was implemented at home. Up to now, it has continuously served six communities including Xingang Longting, Xingyuan, Xingguanyuan and Champs Lido, covering more than 7,000 owners. In addition, provide free design and free housing measurement for the owners of old houses, and provide temporary housing subsidies of up to 6,000 yuan.

Yijing Lijia Group relies on many years’ precipitation and massive resources of old customers, and uses the measures of "trade-in, high subsidy to 1000 yuan" and "furniture-specific customized service (furniture maintenance/repair/mite removal, etc.)" to reach customers through many ways, such as old customers’ telephone call back, community presence, community operation and online private domain traffic, and the success rate of old customers’ repurchase is about 7%.

On August 22nd, another grand event "Exhibition" was wonderful. 2024 Shandong Consumption Promotion Year Shandong Furniture Consumption Festival —— The 22nd China (Linyi) National Furniture Purchasing Festival and the 4th Linyi Furniture Expo opened in Lanhua International Brand Furniture Expo Center, and more than 200 representatives from all over the country attended the opening ceremony. The four-day procurement festival covers an exhibition area of nearly 400,000 square meters, with more than 1,000 furniture brands appearing on the same stage. The exhibits cover tens of thousands of single-item styles including soft furniture, solid wood furniture, two-hall furniture, office furniture, tea space furniture, hotel furniture, mahogany furniture and steel-wood furniture, providing buyers and consumers with more choices.

On the opening day, the scene was crowded and lively. Mr. Wang, a citizen, is stuffed with all kinds of leaflets. "It is so convenient and eye-opening to attend such a large-scale home fair at home!" He said. Yang Xuewen, general manager of the market of Lanhua International Brand Furniture Expo Center, said: "In order to implement the government’s trade-in arrangement, our group has widely mobilized major manufacturers to implement various concessions such as trade-in specials, package discounts, and full lottery, with a profit margin of more than 50 million yuan."

In recent years, the exhibition scale, brand number and exhibition effectiveness of China (Linyi) National Furniture Procurement Festival have been improved year by year. At present, it has become a beautiful business card for Linyi and even the whole country, and has played an important role in promoting the high-quality development of Linyi furniture industry and convention and exhibition industry. At the same time, the holding of the Furniture Purchase Festival is not only a concentrated display of Linyi furniture industry, but also a concrete action to actively respond to the call of the state to expand domestic demand, boost consumption, and promote the high-quality development of the home furnishing industry and the rejuvenation of home decoration.

The effective linkage between industry and market, supply and demand has stimulated the vitality and endogenous power of Linyi’s "home consumption" market.

"Five resources" are fully empowered

-the activation potential of quantity, quality and strategy

"Trade-in" benefits both enterprises and the people, making more and more consumers feel the benefits of "real money and silver" and further boosting consumer confidence.

Since late February, with the gradual improvement of the trade-in policy system at all levels, Linyi City, based on the underlying logic of "policy+activity", has promoted the trade-in of consumer goods in an orderly manner and achieved a leap in the overall planning of market resources. On April 30th, Linyi successfully held the 2024 China Automobile Consumption Festival (Linyi Station) Linyi Consumer Goods Trade-in Action and the launching ceremony of the 31st Yuantong May 1st Auto Show, which penetrated the "five resources" of finance, finance, platforms, manufacturers and merchants, and launched a "gift package" with a total of nearly 500 million yuan.

Vigorously promoting the trade-in of consumer goods will help to activate the "spring water" in the consumer market. In this round of trade-in activities, Linyi City has made every effort to cultivate and expand the business entities of trade-in activities, focusing on the cooperation between government and enterprises, actively organizing the participation of automobile, household appliances and home improvement industries, and fully promoting the action of upgrading and expanding consumption.

The city plans to hold 217 events, including 6 at the municipal level and 211 at the county level, including 30 key events; It is planned to boost the sales of 50,000 vehicles, with sales of about 6 billion yuan.

In the "quality" dimension, create new consumption scenarios with higher quality. On the one hand, guide market entities to innovate the supply of goods and services for commercial blocks, quarter-hour convenient living circles, old residential areas and other carriers, especially guide home appliances and home sales enterprises to launch set of scene services, and guide market entities such as automobiles, home appliances and home improvement to explore trade-in cooperation, make full use of the framework effect of upgrading, and guide and stimulate residents’ demand for upgrading a better life; On the other hand, we will continue to build the brand of "Enjoy Langya Tesco Linyi" government to promote consumption, form a multimedia matrix of "sound", "screen", "newspaper" and "net", coordinate news media channels such as mainstream media and new media at all levels, carry out online and offline promotion and policy interpretation, and make a breakthrough, fragmentation, series and multi-angle for "Linyi consumption".

In the dimension of "policy", a higher level of precise policy. We will implement policy arrangements at all levels and solidly promote the trade-in of automobiles and household appliances. Improve the recycling system of waste materials, scientifically and rationally arrange the recycling industry of waste materials according to the principles of industrial agglomeration, complementary advantages, dislocation development and demonstration, and change the idle "stock" into the "increment" of development.

"In the next step, Linyi City will guide market players to increase subsidies and vigorously promote the trade-in of consumer goods; Do a solid and efficient job in reviewing the application platform for automobile scrapping and renewal subsidies to ensure that the people can get benefits; Make good use of provincial-level incentive funds to subsidize the related expenses of commercial circulation enterprises, large-scale production and retail enterprises and e-commerce enterprises sinking into towns and below markets to promote consumption activities. " The relevant person in charge of Linyi Municipal Bureau of Commerce said.

A big economic province is brave enough to take the lead

—— Work continues to be at the forefront of the country.

Recently, the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce has fully implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on supporting large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in, actively connected with each other in accordance with the latest work arrangement of the provincial party committee and the provincial government on consumer goods trade-in, accelerated the pace of work, and pushed all work to continue to be at the forefront of the country.

Fast pace, practical measures, and comprehensive deepening of work.

Intensify efforts to promote the implementation of the work. Shandong province put forward supporting policies in two aspects: supporting the trade-in of consumer goods and strengthening activity planning, which were included in the third batch of policy list of the provincial government. Strengthen activity planning, and the provincial government and CCTV jointly held the launching activity of "2024 Shandong Summer Trade-in Consumption Season" in Yantai; Provinces, cities and counties will jointly hold three hundred activities, namely, "100 new energy vehicles going to the countryside activities", "100 trade-in activities for consumer goods" and "100 key consumption promotion activities", to further enrich the scene of trade-in activities for consumer goods.

Make efforts to expand the scope of publicity. The Provincial Department of Commerce has closely communicated with the Provincial Bureau of Big Data, and opened a "Trade-in for Consumer Goods" area on the "Love Shandong" APP, and will conduct policy publicity through videos, animations, maps and other forms to improve policy awareness and benefits. At the same time, we will use the central media to expand the publicity of trade-in of consumer goods in Shandong Province. Organize mainstream media and new media in the province to hold publicity and promotion work meetings, improve the publicity and cooperation mechanism of political media, increase publicity, and make good policies benefit more consumers.

Great efforts, early planning, and increased policy coverage.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued "Several Measures to Support Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods", and arranged extra-long special national debt funds to support the trade-in of consumer goods. After the introduction of the policy, Shandong Province went to the Ministry of Commerce for the first time to communicate with each other, strive for national policy support, and find out the policy direction of trade-in of consumer goods.

Plan the province’s policies ahead. The first is to find out the base. According to the latest policies of the state and the Ministry of Commerce, we will further find out the financial situation and sales situation of automobiles, household appliances, home improvement, kitchen and bathroom, electric bicycles and other related fields in Shandong Province, and calculate the policy capital demand, workload and expected performance. The second is to solicit opinions extensively. Discussions were held with 16 cities, relevant departments, financial institutions, industry associations, production and marketing enterprises, etc., to solicit opinions and suggestions and enhance the effectiveness and operability of the policy. The third is to plan platform construction. Plan to promote the construction of a provincial service platform for exchanging old appliances for new ones, build a full-process, one-stop and full-life household appliance service model, form a closed loop of household appliance consumption, and improve the service level of household appliances consumption in the province.

Strong synergy, excellent resources, and continuous results.

Shandong Province continues to take the overall planning of "five resources" as an important starting point for its work, and promotes the continuous increase of preferential synergy of "five resources". Shandong province received state support for the "two new" work funds of 11.5 billion yuan, ranking first in the country; Cities and counties co-ordinate financial funds of nearly 500 million yuan, key banks such as ICBC and Agricultural Bank of China issue related preferential loans of over 41.4 billion yuan, preferential funds of key automobile manufacturers and merchants of over 820 million yuan, and funds for promoting consumption issued by key e-commerce platforms and home appliance manufacturers of over 130 million yuan, so that more and more real "real money and silver" concessions can benefit more consumers.

Shandong Province fully embeds the trade-in of old products into the key consumption promotion activities in the "Consumption Promotion Year", and continues to promote the "five advances" activities of trade-in in rural areas, communities, platforms, government and enterprise units and progress meetings. From January to July, provinces and cities held 369 consumption promotion activities, and enterprises participated in more than 42,000 (times), which boosted consumption by 6.1 billion yuan.

In the next step, the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce will pay close attention to the direction of national policies and introduce the implementation plan as soon as possible; Make full use of policy funds and continue to enlarge the synergy of resources; Hold trade-in promotion activities and increase publicity and guidance; Give full play to the leading role of trade-in of consumer goods and promote the continuous improvement of consumption in the province.

After the 90′ s fan exchange meeting of Gutian bugle, I called on the whole family to make up tickets to watch the movie.

1905 movie network news  Directed by Chen Li, a major revolutionary historical film dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China and commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of Gutian Conference is being shown nationwide. This brand-new theme red epic movie has caused a high degree of discussion on the Internet since its release, and its reputation has soared, with a cat’s eye score as high as 9.5. Therefore, in order to respond to the call of the "Red" fans, the film held a grand exchange meeting between the main creator and the audience in Beijing on August 17, 2019. The exchange meeting invited Sun Bo, the host of Xinhuanet’s "Organizing Bureau", as the host of the event, and director Chen Li appeared with Wang Renjun, WangZhifei and Sun Weimin.

 

Craftsman spirit creates high quality.

 

Surprisingly, a large number of young fans from the post-90s and post-00s came here one after another, and the film party urgently changed to a bigger venue, and the exchange meeting was packed. Young fans had a close and in-depth communication with the film’s main creator, and director Chen Li shared the original intention of the film and a brand-new popular narrative way: "Gutian bugle is a bloody epic film that interprets the great people of the Republic in their youthful years from a modern perspective. I hope that through the film, not only the audience will be moved to tears, but also the vast number of young fans in China will be able to relive history, feel history and remember history with a correct attitude. Our entire behind-the-scenes team is determined to make this film a masterpiece of the main theme film with profound cultural heritage and historical and practical significance. Every process of the film, such as script, actors, photography, and service, strives to create a precedent for the modernization and younger narrative of the main theme film. " Director Chen Li’s meticulous interpretation made the audience more deeply understand the unknown side behind the filming of this historical event, and also vividly conveyed the "youthfulness" characteristic of this red film, which surprised young fans and could not help feeling: "This unique theme tonality is particularly precious in today’s film market, and it should be respected by the market and remembered by the audience." In addition,Wang Renjun, WangZhifei, Sun Weimin and other leading actors of the acting school have also revealed the "secrets" of their roles, so that fans can more clearly understand the role and significance of each role in the film, and the atmosphere at the scene is serious and warm.

 

    

Chun Xiao, an actress who plays Zhang Su ‘e, a girl from western Fujian, in Gutian bugle, was born in 1998. She was born after the 1990s and a student of Shanghai Theatre Academy. She told her feelings from the perspectives of cast members and young audiences. "Gutian bugle is the first film I participated in. As an actor in the play, I was deeply shocked by the working attitude of the director and other senior actors to strive for perfection and dig for details. After the film was released, I watched it many times. This is definitely a treasure movie. When we young people are confused, we really need such grounded, powerful and less entertaining mainstream works to motivate ourselves as an outlet to vent our emotions. "

 

Young viewers expressed their willingness to "make up" movie tickets.

 

Previously, the activity of "Gutian bugle" to donate films to watch movies after 90 s and 00 s attracted great attention on the Internet. Young audiences were moved by this dedication and actively promoted it. A college student at the scene said, "I was very surprised to see my idol forwarding this activity on the Weibo. No film has ever done this, which aroused my curiosity. After watching the movie, I felt that glad you came, the serious great people in my impression, would quarrel with each other and often eat sweet potatoes around the stove, which was very detailed and fresh, and I had a new understanding of the main theme. I strongly recommended my family and friends to buy tickets to watch it, and they would definitely be circled. I will also buy a ticket for the second brush to make up this movie ticket for the directors and starring actors. "A little girl who just entered high school next to me immediately said," I watched the first scene because I got a free movie ticket, but I didn’t get enough, so I bought a ticket to watch it again. "Other young viewers also said that" a short history that can only be learned in books after 1990 is very happy to see it on the big screen now, and I am very moved by the experience of my ancestors. "

   

 


After the blind audience "watched the movie", they were moved by the main creation.

 

It is worth mentioning that WangZhifei, an actor, had met several blind audiences during the roadshow of Gutian bugle, and learned that the staff of a foundation for helping the disabled have been explaining movies for the disabled for free for more than ten years. One of the blind audiences also came to the exchange meeting site. He said, "I didn’t have much hope for this main theme film during the recent series of blockbusters, but after watching the movie, I felt very good, not rigid and lively, and I believe it will be in the future."

 

Stick to the end for the creation of theme films

 

Gutian bugle is a young film with a major historical theme. After the screening, it has the opportunity to have in-depth face-to-face communication with young audiences and listen to the voices from young people, which makes the creative team deeply moved and gratified. "Thanks to the young audience, let us see your deep patriotic enthusiasm. Never forget that we are Chinese, and we will stick to the end for the creation of the main theme film. I hope more audiences will come near the cinema and feel this different main theme film."


The average daily delivery volume of "double 11" is estimated to reach 490 million pieces. How much have you contributed?

Cctv news(Reporter: Xu Yeqing, Wang Jingyuan) On October 28th, the State Post Bureau held a special press conference on service guarantee in the peak season of express delivery business. According to Bian Zuodong, deputy director of the Market Supervision Department of the State Post Bureau, this year’s peak season covers 103 days from the beginning of November to the eve of the Spring Festival in 2021 (February 12). The peak of peak season will appear during the "double 11" period (from November 11th to 16th), and it is estimated that the daily average express delivery business volume will reach 490 million pieces, which is about twice the daily business volume.

"Crushing" the business volume of express delivery in North, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Yiwu ranks first in the world.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Transport, the average annual growth rate of express delivery business in China is over 30%, and the total volume and growth rate of express delivery business rank first in the world for five consecutive years. It is reported that in 2020, there will be nearly 60 express parcels per capita in China, which is about twice the global average.

The latest data from the State Post Bureau shows that 1-mdash; The city with the largest volume of express delivery business in September was not Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen, but Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province (with a total of over 5.9 billion pieces), ranking first in the world and one of the most concentrated foreign trade industrial belts in China. In addition, 1— In September, there were 10 cities with express delivery volume exceeding 1 billion pieces, which is the top ten cities in the list.

The courier is short of hands and has low income.

Over the years, the express delivery industry in China has maintained rapid development. In 2019, the national express delivery business volume exceeded 63.5 billion pieces, and the revenue growth rate of express delivery business was nearly four times that of the national GDP growth rate, and the express delivery business volume ranked first in the world for six consecutive years.

China Express Industry Social Contribution Report 2019 released by China Express Association shows that in 2019, the national express delivery enterprises served 350 million consumers on average, and the online retail sales of physical goods sent by express delivery exceeded 8.5 trillion yuan, accounting for 20.7% of the total retail sales of consumer goods in the whole society.

As express delivery has become an indispensable part of people’s lives, the market has created a huge demand for express delivery industry practitioners, but the number of couriers has been in short supply. According to the ranking of 100 jobs in short supply in the second quarter of 2020 released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on July 21, marketers, couriers and restaurant waiters have become the most short positions.

The shortage of couriers is not unrelated to their high-intensity work pressure. Previously, the "2019 National Professional Survey Report on Express Employees" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") issued by China Post Express News Agency showed that express employees in China work 8-mdash every day; 46.85% of them work 10 hours a day. 12 hours accounted for 33.69%, and nearly 20% of employees worked for more than 12 hours.

According to relevant research, the shortage of couriers will exist for a long time to come. At present, the average daily delivery volume of express delivery in China is 250 million pieces. According to the current distribution efficiency, the gap of couriers will be around 1 million after 2021.

However, under such a high-load distribution pressure, the courier’s delivery cost is not optimistic. At present, the wages of couriers in China are usually piecework wages, which means that the wages earned are closely related to the quantity of pieces received and dispatched. According to the "Report", at present, the "Tongda Department" courier brother sends the most pieces per day. However, according to the latest financial report of Tongda Express Company, the receipt price of single ticket is generally higher in 2 yuan at present, which includes all the expenses of receipt, transit, trunk line and delivery.

According to the data of the State Post Bureau, although the express delivery business in Yiwu reached 5.972 billion pieces in the first three quarters of this year, ranking first in the country, the accumulated income of express delivery business in Yiwu in the first three quarters was 19.44 billion yuan, ranking only sixth in the country. Based on this calculation, the express delivery price in Yiwu is about 3.26 yuan/piece. In March of this year, some express scalpers in Yiwu even offered the price of "8 hairs nationwide".

On the one hand, the ever-increasing delivery volume of express delivery, on the other hand, the courier brother who is hard-working but short of manpower, once door-to-door service is difficult to fully guarantee, and the "last 100 meters" problem of express delivery needs to be solved urgently. Bian Zuodong said that at the peak of the peak season, the workload of couriers, especially delivery tasks, is often four or five times that of daily work. During the peak period, the express delivery time will be extended in some areas. Please be more tolerant of the express delivery time during the peak season, understand that the courier brother can’t deliver the goods upstairs as scheduled, and take more care of the tired courier brother.

  "Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting Planning Environmental Impact Assessment" has been approved by the municipal government and is hereby issued to you, please implement it carefully.

  May 31, 2011  

Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting Planning Environmental Impact Assessment

  In order to thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development, comprehensively promote planning environmental impact assessment (hereinafter referred to as planning environmental impact assessment) in accordance with the law, prevent environmental pollution and ecological damage from the source, and promote comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of economy, society and environment, according to the relevant provisions of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Regulations on Planning Environmental Impact Assessment (the State Council Order No.59, hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), combined with the actual situation of this Municipality, we hereby put forward the following opinions on further promoting planning environmental impact assessment.

  First, fully understand the significance of carrying out planning environmental assessment.

  Planning EIA is a method and system to analyze, predict and evaluate the possible environmental impact after planning implementation, put forward countermeasures to prevent or mitigate adverse environmental impact, and conduct follow-up evaluation in the process of planning preparation and approval. Compared with the construction project EIA, the planning EIA pays more attention to the cumulative environmental impact, regional and indirect joint environmental impact, and emphasizes the development requirements of environmental management from micro to macro, from end to source, and from point source to region. The implementation of planning environmental assessment is of great significance for preventing environmental problems caused by unreasonable distribution of productive forces and resource allocation from the source and ensuring the coordination between economic and social development and environmental resources. All regions and departments should attach great importance to the importance and necessity of planning environmental assessment, fully understand its legal status in the process of planning, strengthen organization and coordination, improve mechanisms, standardize procedures and make solid progress.

  Second, the scope of planning EIA

  In accordance with the requirements of the Regulations, combined with the actual situation of this Municipality, the focus of the planning EIA is "one place, two areas and ten special projects", that is, the relevant planning of land use and the construction, development and utilization planning of regions and river basins (hereinafter referred to as comprehensive planning) organized by relevant municipal departments, district and county governments and their relevant departments, as well as industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, energy, water conservancy, transportation, urban construction, tourism and nature. Among them, comprehensive planning must prepare an environmental impact chapter or explanation, and special planning must prepare an environmental impact report.

  The specific scope of planning that requires environmental impact assessment shall be implemented in accordance with the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Specific Scope of Planning for Preparing Environmental Impact Report (for Trial Implementation) and the Specific Scope of Planning for Preparing Environmental Impact Chapters or Explanations (for Trial Implementation) (No.98 [2004] of Environment and Development).

  Three, conscientiously fulfill the planning EIA approval and review procedures.

  In accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations", the comprehensive planning approved by the municipal government and its relevant departments, before the draft plan is submitted for approval, the planning department shall send the environmental impact chapter or explanation together with the draft plan to the municipal environmental protection department for comments; Comprehensive planning approved by the district and county governments and their relevant departments shall, before the draft planning is submitted for approval, send the environmental impact chapter or explanation together with the draft planning to the district and county environmental protection departments for comments.

  Special planning approved by the municipal government and its relevant departments, before the draft plan is submitted for approval, the planning department shall send the environmental impact report together with the draft plan to the municipal environmental protection department, which will convene relevant departments and experts to demonstrate the environmental impact report and put forward review opinions; For the special planning approved by the county government and its relevant departments, before the draft planning is submitted for approval, the planning department shall send the environmental impact report together with the draft planning to the county environmental protection department, which will convene relevant departments and experts to demonstrate the environmental impact report and put forward review opinions.

  The planning examination and approval department shall require the comprehensive planning draft that fails to prepare the environmental impact chapter or explanation in accordance with the provisions, and the special planning draft that fails to prepare the environmental impact report in accordance with the provisions and is reviewed by the review team; If it is not supplemented, the planning examination and approval department will not approve it. Major adjustments or revisions are made to the approved plan in terms of scope of implementation, applicable period, scale, structure and layout, etc., and the planning department shall re-or supplement the environmental impact assessment.

  When examining and approving the draft special plan, the planning examination and approval department shall take the conclusions of the environmental impact report and the review opinions as an important basis for decision-making. If the conclusions of the environmental impact report and the review opinions are not adopted, it shall explain the reasons in writing item by item and file them for future reference. At the same time, notify the competent department of environmental protection that originally organized the review of the environmental impact report of planning.

  Four, a clear responsibility for the preparation and implementation of planning EIA.

  The relevant departments that undertake the planning task are responsible for the preparation and implementation of planning EIA. In order to ensure the implementation of major projects in this Municipality as soon as possible and improve the efficiency of examination and approval, all regions and departments must organize the early preparation of environmental impact chapters or entrust qualified technical institutions to prepare environmental impact reports according to law, and organize the implementation of relevant contents in planning EIA.

  The expenses required to carry out planning environmental assessment shall be included in the financial budget in accordance with the provisions of budget management, and the expenditure management shall be strictly controlled and subject to audit supervision.

  Five, strengthen the organization and coordination of planning environmental assessment

  All localities and departments should earnestly strengthen the organization, leadership, supervision and management of planning environmental assessment. Planning examination and approval authorities, planning EIA review authorities and planning preparation authorities should clarify their responsibilities, carry out their work according to laws and regulations, and ensure the coordinated progress of planning EIA and planning preparation. The relevant departments of cities, districts and counties should summarize the preparation or revision of their annual plans and planning EIA before the end of the first quarter of each year, and notify the competent department of environmental protection at the same level to determine the planning and EIA forms that need to be carried out according to law as soon as possible. The competent department of environmental protection should track the implementation progress of planning EIA in a timely manner, strengthen communication with relevant departments, and coordinate and solve the problems in the preparation of planning EIA.

  Six, strengthen the supervision and inspection of planning environmental impact assessment.

  The competent department of environmental protection shall, when examining and approving the environmental impact assessment documents of construction projects included in the planning, take the conclusion of the planning EIA as an important basis for review, and deal with the construction projects included in the planning that have not been carried out, failed to pass the review of the planning EIA, and undergone major adjustments without re-supplementing the environmental impact assessment in accordance with relevant regulations. The relevant departments of the city will timely organize supervision and inspection on the work of planning environmental assessment, notify the planning department and planning examination and approval department that do not implement the relevant provisions of the state and this Municipality, and hold the relevant responsible persons accountable.

New infrastructure leads major foreign-funded projects to accelerate their landing

  Foreign investment is welcoming multiple favorable policies. Recently, a series of measures to stabilize foreign investment have been introduced intensively in China, and major foreign investment projects have been launched one after another, among which new infrastructure has become one of the key support areas. An interview with the Economic Information Daily reporter learned that with the continuous release of a series of favorable signals and the increasing support of land use and financing, many multinational enterprises will further promote the layout of artificial intelligence, industrial Internet and other fields, and major foreign-funded projects are welcoming the climax. It is worth noting that the support measures are still overweight, focusing on encouraging foreign investment in high-tech industries and R&D links, filling the shortcomings of the industrial chain and activating more innovative kinetic energy.

  At the beginning of the second half of the year, Urumqi signed a cooperation agreement with Siemens Industrial Software (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. to jointly build a new infrastructure innovation base for China-Europe digital industry. The innovation base will rely on Siemens’ resources in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and industrial internet to build a platform for technological innovation, intelligent manufacturing services, talent cultivation and innovation acceleration in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, new energy and industrial internet.

  On June 30th, SAP, the largest software company in Europe, signed a contract with Shandong Laiwu High-tech Zone, and the SAP Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation and Empowerment Industrial Park project landed. The project plans to invest 200 million yuan to establish a digital innovation empowerment center, a digital industry and service platform, a dual-recruitment and dual-introduction platform and a digital talent platform. A few days ago, Intel announced that it would join hands with Nanjing to build a "Future Science and Technology Wisdom Center". The two sides will gradually build a smart park and promote applications such as smart buildings, smart offices, smart manufacturing, smart transportation and intelligent robots.

  The reporter also learned that a number of multinational companies such as Qualcomm and Schneider Electric are also optimistic about the huge market potential released by China’s acceleration of new infrastructure, which will accelerate the layout of this field.

  Recently, Qualcomm Venture Capital invested in three China companies, covering Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and 5G applications. Meng Pu, chairman of Qualcomm in China, told the Economic Information Daily that leading technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence will promote the efficient coordination among production factors and release the "multiplier effect" for social development. Qualcomm is actively seizing more opportunities for integrated infrastructure construction under the new infrastructure, cooperating with a wider range of industry partners, and empowering industries such as industrial Internet, intelligent transportation, intelligent manufacturing and smart cities through technology and innovation.

  Schneider Electric and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited have just signed a "cloud contract" and reached a strategic partnership. According to the agreement, the two sides will cooperate in the fields of green smart factories, new energy power generation, safe electricity use and energy storage. Andrew, global executive vice president of Schneider Electric and president of China, told reporters that he is optimistic about China’s digital economy prospects, which is also in line with Schneider Electric’s vision of promoting digital transformation in China. Previously, Schneider Electric increased its investment in Xiamen, and plans to expand R&D and increase production lines in the next three to five years to produce a new generation of digital green electrical products.

  Li Qiang, global vice president of SAP and general manager of China, said that he is very much looking forward to the opportunities created by the new infrastructure in China market. In an interview with the Economic Information Daily, Li Qiang said that SAP has launched a digital transformation solution covering 25 industries, and will use the company’s products, technologies and services to support customers to accelerate digital transformation and help the government and enterprises to build new infrastructure for the future.

  The entry of foreign businessmen into the market also contributed to the signing of local batch foreign investment projects. On July 22nd, 54 foreign-funded projects were signed in Shanghai, 15 of which involved new infrastructure, covering network technology, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, integrated circuits and other industries. Prior to this, Kunshan ushered in the centralized landing of major projects, involving 33 major projects in high-end equipment manufacturing, optical communication, headquarters economy, new materials and other fields, including 16 foreign-funded projects.

  At the national level, the National Development and Reform Commission recently launched the fourth batch of major foreign investment projects, involving electronic information, new materials and other fields, on the basis of promoting the first three batches of major foreign investment projects. "The successive landing of these major foreign-funded projects shows the strong confidence of foreign-funded enterprises in China’s development." Yuan Da, director and spokesperson of the Policy Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, said.

  The latest data of foreign capital absorption in China once again confirms this good trend. Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce show that in the month of July, the actual amount of foreign capital used nationwide was 63.47 billion yuan, up 15.8% year-on-year, achieving a positive growth in foreign capital absorption in a single month for the fourth consecutive month. Zong Changqing, director of the Foreign Investment Management Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that from January to July this year, 18,838 foreign enterprises were newly established in China. During the period, large foreign-funded projects continued to land, with foreign-funded projects of more than 100 million US dollars accounting for 68%. Many multinational companies such as ExxonMobil, BMW, Toyota and Invista have continuously increased their investment in China and accelerated their layout in China.

  In an interview with the Economic Information Daily, Zhu Keli, executive director of the National Research Institute of New Economics, pointed out that China’s new infrastructure is becoming a new opportunity for foreign-funded enterprises to invest in China under the background of the world economic recession since the outbreak of the epidemic, and the trillions of new infrastructure and huge market are bound to attract foreign-funded enterprises. Encouraging foreign-funded enterprises to increase investment in new infrastructure has a predictable positive effect on stabilizing foreign investment, further improving industrial competitiveness and opening up the double cycle.

  It is worth noting that the policy continues to increase, and foreign investment will gain more benefits in terms of fiscal and taxation financial support, as well as the protection of land use, energy consumption and other factors. On August 12th, the General Office of the State Council issued "Opinions on Further Improving the Work of Stabilizing Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), clearly increasing the support services for key foreign investment projects. A list of key foreign-funded projects with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars nationwide will be sorted out, and in the early stage, under construction and put into production, domestic and foreign investors will be treated equally to increase the service guarantee in terms of sea use, land use, energy consumption and environmental protection. At the same time, encourage more foreign investment in high-tech industries. At the subsequent policy briefing of the State Council Office, Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of Commerce, pointed out that the Opinions encouraged foreign investment in high-tech industries and R&D links to fill the shortcomings of the industrial chain.

  In addition, the 2020 edition of the Catalogue of Industries to Encourage Foreign Investment has also begun to solicit public opinions. From the perspective of fields, foreign investment will be further encouraged to participate in the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, and foreign investment will be encouraged to invest in producer services. Among them, R&D design, modern logistics, information services and other fields have become the focus of catalogue expansion.

  "The active participation of foreign-funded enterprises in new infrastructure is expected to have a catfish effect, and competition and cooperation can promote the common improvement of the operating level of various market entities including Chinese-funded enterprises." Zhu Keli said that with the intensive policy support of various departments, the confidence of foreign-funded enterprises in laying out new infrastructure has been further boosted, thus amplifying the competition pattern and development potential of new infrastructure, especially artificial intelligence and industrial Internet.

  Meng Pu said that enterprises in all fields should put the effectiveness and quality of investment and development in the first place and integrate leading technology into the global value chain. Especially in the face of the great opportunity of "new infrastructure", the global industrial chain should pay more attention to how to deepen cooperation and coordinate development.
