The Fourth Middle East War (1973

  

 

On October 22, 1973, the United Nations Security Council adopted a cease-fire resolution in the Middle East. On November 11th, 1973, representatives of Egypt and Israel held a signing ceremony in a tent 101km away from Cairo-Suez City Highway, and United Nations troops kept order at the scene. (Xinhua News Agency)

China Daily News Global Online News: On October 6th, 1973, after careful preparation, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel and started the fourth Middle East War, also known as Yom Kippur War, October War and Ramadan War.

War background

The "Third Middle East War" in 1967 caused Arab countries to lose a large area of territory, especially Egypt, and the losses in the war were even more serious. Therefore, I am bent on regaining lost ground. Since the second half of 1968, Egypt and Israel have waged a "war of attrition" for another two years. The artillery units of the Egyptian army carried out large-scale shelling on the Israeli army on the east bank of the canal. Since the second half of 1969, the Israeli army began to carry out strategic air strikes on the west bank of the canal, including the area around Cairo. The two sides also sent commandos to attack each other. After two years of "war of attrition", Egypt deeply felt that its air defense force was weak and the ground forces needed to be strengthened, so it decided to purchase a large number of weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union also took advantage of Egypt’s predicament and infiltrated Egypt wantonly. The United States strongly supports Israel. In order to avoid direct confrontation, the United States and the Soviet Union tried to create a situation of "no war and no peace" in the Middle East.

In October 1970, Sadat succeeded Nasser as President of Egypt, and in order to get rid of the situation of "no war and no peace", he began to vigorously strengthen his armaments. In May 1971, a treaty of friendship and cooperation was signed with the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union delayed the issue of providing weapons to Egypt. By April 1972, when Sadat visited the Soviet Union again, the Soviet Union still did not provide weapons assistance to Egypt. In May, after the US-Soviet summit meeting in Moscow, the Soviet Union decided to cancel the plan to provide weapons to Egypt.

The Soviet Union’s actions caused great anger in Egypt. On July 8, Sadat announced the end of the mission of Soviet military advisers and experts in Egypt, demanding that 21,000 Soviet military personnel leave Egypt within 10 days; All Soviet military facilities in Egypt were either sold to Egypt or completely removed. This move is an important step for Egypt to get rid of Soviet control and break through the situation of "no war and no peace".

The international and domestic situation at that time was quite favorable to Egypt. In May 1973, both the African Summit and the Fourth Summit of Non-Aligned Countries made resolutions condemning Israel, and many countries severed diplomatic relations with Israel. In 1973, the energy crisis occurred in the righteous west, and the dependence on Arab oil-producing countries deepened. In Egypt and Syria, the people’s demand for recovering lost land is high. These favorable circumstances made the top leaders of Egypt and Syria make a decision to attack Israel by surprise on the occasion of the 23rd annual meeting of the United Nations.

At the beginning of 1973, the military leaders of all Arab countries held a meeting in Cairo to discuss the strategy of future war. After the meeting, Egypt established the Joint Command of Armed Forces. In April, a meeting of Arab chiefs of staff was held in Cairo, which unified the future operational thinking. In August, Egypt and Syria finally approved a joint operational plan to attack Israel at the same time on the north and southwest lines. In order to achieve the effect of surprise and surprise, Egypt and Syria have formulated a variety of measures to confuse Israel. At the end of 1972, Egypt spent $4 million to build a huge embankment on the west bank of the canal, ostensibly to resist Israeli attacks, but actually to hide the assembly of artillery and tanks. Since the beginning of 1973, Egypt has recruited reservists for service many times, and then demobilized in batches, giving Israel the illusion. Egypt and Syria also confuse Israel by conducting frequent diplomacy and "routine exercises". In the process of preparing for the war, both Egypt and Syria have formulated strict confidentiality regulations. As for the operational intention and plan, Egypt stipulates that only a few people, including the President and the Minister of National Defense, can know, while Syria stipulates that only a dozen senior military and political personnel, including the President, can know. Operational orders were sent to divisional commanders six hours before the start of the war, and to battalion commanders three hours before the start of the war. Two hours before the battle, the front-line commander also asked some soldiers to swim in the river and hang clothes on the beach to keep the front line "peaceful".

Israel occupied a large part of the territory of Arab countries in the June 5th War. The strategic depth has been expanded in an all-round way-Sinai Peninsula and Gaza area, and the strategic depth has increased by more than 200 kilometers; In the West Bank, the strategic depth has increased by more than 90 kilometers. In order to keep this "safe border", Israel’s strategic thinking has changed from offensive to defensive. Under the guidance of this idea, the Israeli army has built strong fortifications. On the east bank of the Suez Canal, a 123-kilometer-long defense line was built, named after Balef, then chief of staff of the Israeli army. The sandbar is 8.5 meters high, and the side facing the canal is cut into a steep slope of 55 degrees. On the slope, there are barbed wire and minefields, and there are also napalm pipes leading to the canal, which can form a fire net on the canal after being ignited. The Israeli army also built 31 core castles along the entire canal, forming a crossfire network. In the hinterland of Sinai Peninsula, there are also airports and Hawk air defense missile positions. In the Golan Heights, the Israeli army also built strong fortifications. Therefore, the Israeli army relies on its solid defense, and there are not many Chen soldiers in the frontier areas.

War course

At 14: 00 on October 6, 1973, two loud noises suddenly occurred in the sand base of the Israeli army’s fortifications on the east bank of the Suez Canal. Two explosive charges buried in the water by the Egyptian frogman the night before exploded, which opened the prelude to the fourth Middle East war. Then, the armies of Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on the Israeli army from the west and the north simultaneously. The war process is roughly divided into three stages:

In the first stage (October 6-9), the Egyptian-Syrian army won an initial victory.

October 6th is Ramadan for Muslims and Yom Kippur for Judaism. During Ramadan, Arabs do not eat during the day, shortening working hours and reducing activities. Therefore, Israel believes that Arab countries will never attack one day. Yom Kippur is an absolute rest day for Jews. From sunrise to sunset, they don’t eat, drink, smoke or broadcast. Most of the officers and men stayed in the camp, and there were few frontier soldiers. Egypt and Syria chose this day to raid.

On the western front, the Egyptian army dispatched more than 200 planes to bomb and attack the Israeli army’s front-line headquarters, artillery positions, troop assembly areas, air defense missile systems, communication radar facilities and institutions on the Sinai Peninsula from the east road. At the same time, 2,000 howitzers and heavy mortars hidden by the Egyptian army behind the sand barrier on the west bank of the canal also attacked the frontier fortifications and rear targets of Balef’s defense line, effectively suppressing the Israeli army’s firepower.

The plan of the Egyptian army is to first cross the Suez Canal, break through the "Balef" defense line and control the area 15-20 kilometers east of the canal; The second step is to capture the first line of mitra Pass, Kedi Pass and Khatamiya Pass to ensure the safety of the front position on the east bank of the canal, and then develop in depth according to the situation. To this end, the Egyptian army assembled two legions and nine divisions on both sides of the Suez Canal, with a total strength of about 120,000 people. In the north wing, there are 5 divisions of the Second Army Corps, which is the main direction of the campaign, and in the south wing, there are 4 divisions of the Third Army Corps. After the start of the fighting, about 8,000 troops on the ground of the Egyptian army, under the cover of airplanes and air defence forces, crossed the canal simultaneously from Quintana, Ismailia, Deviswa, Shalufa and Suez by amphibious armored vehicles and rubber boats. After landing, quickly open a passage on the embankment, climb the riverbank, destroy the front shelters of the Israeli army, and at the same time, open a passage in the barbed wire and minefield of the Israeli army on the sand embankment on the east coast with an explosive tube. Egyptian engineers used high-pressure taps to scour the sand embankment built by Israeli troops along the river bank. In just 9 hours, more than 60 gaps were opened on the sand embankment, and 10 pontoons and 50 gate bridges were erected. In the 24 hours after the fighting started, 100,000 Ethiopian troops, 1,020 tanks and 13,500 vehicles passed through the canal. Then, the Egyptian army spread out to the two wings, began to destroy the Israeli army at each stronghold, captured 15 Israeli army frontier strongholds, and shattered the counter-impact of the Israeli army’s frontier tanks. The two wings defended the Israeli army with steady and flat push, even if they attacked. In less than three days, the Egyptian army took control of the area 10 to 15 kilometers east of the canal.

In order to cooperate with frontal combat, Egyptian paratroopers and assault detachments landed in the deep area of Sinai Peninsula by helicopter on a large scale, destroying enemy traffic, communications and supplies. In order to contain the Israeli army, the navy blocked the straits of tiran and the Mande Strait, the Gulf of Aqaba and the exit of the Red Sea, and launched a sea landing operation in the Shaishamh area to attack the Israeli army.

When the Egyptian army launched an attack on the western front, the Syrian army on the northern line also stormed the Golan Heights at 14: 00 on the 6th. The Syrian army dispatched 100 planes to attack important military targets such as the Israeli command post. The 1,500 cannons of the Syrian army also began shelling Israeli positions on the Golan Heights. Under the cover of the air force and surface-to-air missile units, three divisions and more than 1,000 tanks in the first echelon of the Syrian army launched an attack on Israeli positions in three ways.

The Syrian army on the North Road attacked Shehe Mountain, Masaadeh and other places. Leading the way was blocked by the Israeli army, and the progress was slow. The middle road and the south road are the focus of the Syrian army’s attack. The 9th Infantry Division of Zhonglu Syrian Army quickly broke through the defense line of the Israeli 188th armored brigade and captured Ahmedria. The Israeli army retreated to Quneitra for help. Although the Syrian army dispatched second-line tanks and frequently launched attacks at night, the Israeli army also mobilized a large number of tanks to launch counter-attacks on the Syrian army. The 1,500 tanks of both sides fought fiercely on the narrow plain for nearly 48 hours, and the 188 armored brigade of the Israeli army was almost wiped out, leaving only more than 10 tanks. On the morning of the 7th, the Syrian army broke through the 1967 ceasefire line for about 75 kilometers and entered the Syrian-Israeli border near lake tiberias. When the Israeli army rushed to fight, it gradually saw many weaknesses of the Syrian army. Therefore, the Israeli army decided to concentrate its forces on the northern Syrian army to turn the tide. By the 11th, the main force of the Israeli army on the northern line had soared to 22 brigades, with about 100,000 people.

In the second stage (October 10-15), the Egyptian army’s attack was frustrated and the Israeli army launched a counterattack.

The Egyptian army won the first battle and occupied some areas on the east bank of the canal, achieving the expected goal. Therefore, from the 10th, the Egyptian army stopped attacking in Sinai Peninsula and began to adjust and deploy to consolidate its position. This provided the army with a breathing space, and the Israeli army used this short gap to concentrate its forces and implement the strategic policy of breaking the northern line first and then the western line one by one.

On October 10, the Israeli army concentrated 15 brigades and 1,000 tanks on the northern line. Under the cover of the plane, after breaking through the defensive positions of the Syrian army, it adopted the tactics of combining frontal assault with circuitous encirclement and counterattacked the Syrian army in three ways. The focus of the Israeli army’s attack is the central and northern parts of the Golan Heights, while only a few troops are sent to the south to contain it. It quickly broke through the Syrian defense line and lifted the siege of Quneitra. On the 11th, the Israeli army continued to send more troops to the Golan Heights, with a total of 22 brigades and nearly 100,000 people. The Israeli army concentrated 500 tanks and made rapid progress in the direction of Damascus along different routes. On the 12th, Israeli troops crossed the 1967 ceasefire line and penetrated into Syria for about 30 kilometers, while Syrian infantry and air defence forces retreated to the capital Damascus and other important urban areas. Establish defensive positions along both sides of the highway to stop the Israeli army from attacking Damascus.

After the Israeli army took the initiative on the northern front, it immediately shifted its operational focus to Sinai Peninsula, which increased the Sinai front from 4 brigades to 3 divisions and 12 brigades, and transferred a large number of planes and tanks to Sinai.

When the Israeli army counterattacked on the northern line, the Egyptian army decided to attack the Israeli army to reinforce Syria.

At 6 o’clock on October 14th, the Egyptian army dispatched 80 planes and 200 artillery pieces to prepare for the second-line position of the Israeli army for more than 90 minutes. Then, more than 1,000 tanks of armored division and mechanized division attacked the Israeli army, and the two sides launched a large-scale tank battle on the east bank of the canal. The soldiers of the Egyptian army attacked the Israeli army in Khatamia, Giddy and mitra Pass in three ways, which was the first time that the Egyptian army broke away from the air defense network and the anti-tank defense system for mobile warfare. The Israeli army was prepared for the attack on the Egyptian army, and concentrated three divisions to use the favorable terrain on both sides of the mountain pass to carry out coordinated operations with steps, tanks and artillery, and dispatched aircraft support. The Israeli army invested about 800 tanks. After several hours of fierce fighting, the Israeli army lost 50 tanks, while the Egyptian army lost 200 and was forced to return to the starting position.

In the third stage (October 15-24), the Israeli army on the western front launched an attack on the Egyptian army, and the northern line was confronted by Syria.

On October 16, three brigades of the Israeli army launched an attack on Egypt, and the two sides launched a fierce tank battle and artillery battle. At the same time, according to the information provided by American reconnaissance satellite that there is a gap of 30 kilometers between the junction of the 2nd and 3rd Legions of the Egyptian Army in the Great Bitter Lake area, the Israeli army seized the favorable opportunity of the lack of troops on the west bank of the Egyptian Army Canal, broke into the west bank of the canal from the junction, established a bridgehead position, destroyed several positions of the Egyptian Army’s air defense missiles, and quickly organized five brigades to cross the canal with the support of the air force. The Egyptian army mistakenly thought that the Israeli army’s invasion into the west bank of the canal was a harassment activity by a small group of Israeli troops, which did not attract attention, so that the Israeli army destroyed a large number of anti-aircraft missile positions of the Egyptian army and the Israeli air force was able to bomb the west bank of the canal in turn. On the 18th, the Israeli army that broke into the West Bank attacked the positions of the Egyptian army on a large scale. By the evening of the 19th, the Israeli troops in the West Bank had reached four tank brigades, one mechanized brigade and one paratrooper brigade.

After gaining the initiative, the Israeli army that broke into the west bank of the canal attacked roads, railways and areas along the canal, in order to cut off the retreat of the 2 nd and 3 rd armies of the Egyptian army. At this time, the Israeli army on the east coast also cooperated with the offensive, which made the 3 rd Army between Scylla and Charybdis. On the 22nd, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 338, calling on Egypt and Israel to "cease fire on the spot". Both Egypt and Israel accepted the ceasefire, but the Israeli army’s attack did not stop. At the same time, the Israeli army advanced northward in an attempt to capture Ismailia and surround the 2nd Legion of Egypt, but it failed. The Israeli army concentrated its forces, returned to the south, and surrounded the 3rd Legion in a roundabout way. In the early morning of the 23rd, the Sharon Brigade of the Israeli army, relying on the personnel and supplies smuggled across the river at night, stormed the Ataka area. On the evening of that day, the Israeli army occupied the oil refinery outside the suburbs of Suez, cutting off the contact between the troops of the 3rd Legion in the southwest and south of Suez, and basically completed the encirclement of most troops of the 3rd Legion of the Egyptian army. On the 24th, the two sides achieved a ceasefire.

On the northern front, after the confrontation between Syria and Israel at the end of the second phase, the Israeli army dispatched a paratrooper brigade on October 22, and seized the last position of the Syrian army in the Golan Heights. The Syrian army then launched many counterattacks and recovered some lost ground, but the results were not great, and the two sides were still in a state of confrontation. On the 24th, Syria and Israel announced a formal ceasefire.

The war lasted for 18 days. Egypt, Syria and Israel invested about 1.1 million troops, more than 5,500 tanks and more than 1,500 combat aircraft. As a result of the war, more than 20,000 people died in Arab countries, more than 2,000 tanks were destroyed and about 400 aircraft were lost. The Israeli army killed more than 5,000 people and lost more than 1,000 tanks and 200 planes. The war between the two sides cost more than $5 billion. Through this war, the Egyptian army recovered the land 10-15 kilometers deep on the east bank of the canal and 192 kilometers long from north to south, covering an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers. Israel has occupied more than 1,900 square kilometers of Egyptian territory on the west bank of the Canal and 440 square kilometers of territory east of the Syrian Golan Heights.

The fortune-telling big V gang with thousands of fans was arrested. "Master, can you calculate that you have this robbery in your life?"

  Cctv news: Fortune-telling, geomantic omen, palm reading and physiognomy. Have you ever heard of these seemingly mysterious words? In reality, there are such a group of so-called network fortune tellers who claim to help people know their destiny and change their fortune. They have tens of millions of fans on the internet, and thousands of netizens pay for them to point out the maze. I wonder if the masters have figured out that the Anhui police have noticed them? And what will happen to your own destiny?

  "Master, my marriage is not happy now, and I may get divorced this year. Is it time, Master?"

  "I am still a college student at present. Do you have any advice from the master on my studies?"

  "Master, I haven’t slept for two days, my heart can’t calm down, and my mind is in a mess."

  "What the master said is very accurate. How should I resolve it?"

  These are the chat records of some netizens with the so-called network fortune tellers, seeking marriage, career, study and even comfort. The netizens who sent the information never met the master at the other end of the network, so they sent their names, ages, locations and photos to each other without hesitation.

  On the Internet, there is more than one such magical master active, with millions of fans. However, when netizens who ask for help think that the other party is helping to solve the problem, the "master" is eyeing their wallets.

  Ms Xu, 33, is an online shop owner. She likes to surf the Internet to brush Weibo in her spare time. At the beginning of this year, she paid attention to an online account called "fortune teller". Basically, it is to send some marriage fortune, palm reading these. About who is lucky in the near future and how to get rid of the predicament. Ms. Xu found it attractive and wanted to see it. Ms. Xu quickly became fascinated. She found that this "fortune teller" was very popular. Under every Weibo, many fans liked and commented. In the top content of the page, it was specifically mentioned that fans could add his micro-signal for one-on-one consultation.

  Ms XuBecause I had some problems at home and my own health, I chatted with him temporarily through Weibo, and then he asked me to add a WeChat. Then he used WeChat, and he asked me to show him my face and palm.

  Soon, the other party sent a long message to Ms. Xu, saying that her "feelings are prone to ups and downs, which will affect her marriage fortune", and that Ms. Xu "has a little decline in her immune system recently, so she should pay attention to her health" and that "it is difficult for her career to improve between the ages of 33 and 36". In short, all aspects of Ms. Xu are worrying.

  Ms Xu"Master" means that he said that my situation is more serious, and then I am under great pressure. I said how to crack it, and he said, you can help me do a ritual. Then buy a transfer bead like this and always wear it on your body.

  Practice and transshipment master charge more than 10 thousand yuan

  Hearing that the so-called master had a way to crack it, Ms. Xu suddenly felt that she had found the direction and that things were still saved. She decisively transferred money to the other party. First, she booked a ritual for 6,999 yuan, and then she spent 3,999 yuan to buy the so-called transshipment.

  Ms XuHe said the bead. I said how expensive a bead is. He said that the bead was polished by the master of Jiuhua Mountain. He said it was particularly effective.

  A few days later, Ms. Xu received a video of a practice from the "fortune teller".

  Ms XuThen he took me a video of what he did. Then he told me not to click on it, saying that as long as I clicked on it, it would destroy this fortune.

  Ms. Xu will delete the video in the chat record, and she will do all the other precautions mentioned by the "master" one by one, quietly waiting for the arrival of good luck.

  Although the fortune was pointed out by the "master", it did not change.

  In the mouth of the so-called numerology masters, they can not only predict the future, but also make people happy through rituals. So is the master really so god? Let’s look at the experience of Ms. Yuan in Jiangsu.

  Ms. Yuan from Jiangsu reads a passage every night at 7: 00. This is what a master named "Intimate Face" told her. A previous emotional experience affected her fortune, and she had to spend money on the so-called ritual.

  Ms. Li from Shandong is chatting with a person named "Master of Fortune". A few days ago, "Master" helped her to do a ritual to improve her marriage. Who knows that her boyfriend suddenly broke up with her a few days later.

  The analysis of the "master" clearly sounds very accurate, and the guidance is also clear, but why doesn’t it work? Ms. Xu of Anhui noticed something was wrong and asked the police for help.

  Gao Lei, squadron leader of Netan Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau: In June this year, a netizen reported to Weibo, an Anhui cyber policeman, that a man of Xuancheng Ning nationality had defrauded her of a total of 12,000 yuan on the grounds of helping her to read fortune and transfer.

  Ms. Xu said that she received the so-called light-opened transshipment sent by the "master" and wore it every day. But the effect is not at all obvious. She told her family about it, and after some discussion, everyone felt that this "master" was not very reliable.

  Ms Xu: I just showed our transit bead to my family. After seeing it, my family thought that this bead was an ordinary bead, and then I said, how can it be? Then they looked at another mailing address, which showed Ningguo, Xuancheng, Anhui, which was different from the address mentioned by his monk. I feel a little strange. I wonder if I may have been cheated.

  The police found that the online account named "Visit fortune teller" that Ms. Xu paid attention to had more than four million fans, and the authentication information was displayed as "well-known constellation numerology blogger". After a preliminary browsing, the investigators found that the content published by this account has certain characteristics.

  Gao Lei, squadron leader of Netan Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauHe usually posts some Weibo, that is, some blog posts about Xuan Xiang’s numerology, such as which star is divorced, and then he says, from a facial point of view, there may be problems with this star’s recent career line or analyzing his marriage line, which will attract a large number of fans.

  The police also noticed that the interaction between this account and fans is very high, and fans often send photos of their faces and hands in the comments, asking bloggers for comments.

  Gao Lei, squadron leader of Netan Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau: I found that his daily interactions in Weibo are particularly large, and his interactions with fans are particularly large. Moreover, many of his Weibo are 24 hours, that is, he keeps posting some blog posts and keeping track of some hot spots. They also have it in the middle of the night, from midnight to morning, and then we feel suspicious, because it doesn’t look like a person is operating this Weibo.

  Attract fans to add WeChat for "paid consultation"

  The investigators who continue to investigate the case found that there are dozens of similar accounts on the Internet, all of which publish so-called numerology and fortune-telling related content through the Internet, interact with fans in comments and private messages, and then add fans WeChat for so-called "paid consultation". And one of the bloggers named "Visit fortune-teller Zen Master" has more than 10 million fans.

  Gao Lei, squadron leader of Netan Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau: It’s the same account, and the pattern is the same. It mainly focuses on the hot spots of the stars, or the hot spots of the whole network to increase fans, and then sends some soul chicken soup or blog posts like Buddhism, Buddhism and numerology from time to time.

  After a period of comparison and analysis, the police sorted out more than 60 accounts, such as fortune teller, fortune teller, fortune teller, fortune teller and fortune teller, which were operated by seven criminal gangs respectively, and each account also corresponded to many micro-signals for private communication with fans.

  Set up a company to operate as a team and get rich overnight, attracting many people to follow suit.

  It doesn’t matter if you don’t check it. On the surface, these dozens of suspicious "master" accounts are online bloggers who share astrological numerology, but in fact they are likely to be criminal suspects who carry out illegal activities in the form of "paid services and paid visits". And these dozens of accounts add up to hundreds of millions of fans. The police concluded that there are probably many victims like Ms. Xu.

  Zhang Bin, Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauAt the beginning, when the case was first judged, there might be only seven people and eight people (suspects). However, it was later discovered that this slowly spread from Ningguo to other places.

  Among them, the online account with the largest number of fans, "Seeing the Zen Master", is operated by a man of Anhui Ning nationality surnamed Chen. The police found that as early as 2017, Chen Mou used this account to write articles on geomantic omen and numerology, which gradually gained the popularity of some fans. At the end of 2017, Chen Mou established a company and began to operate as a team. Because of the rich profits, many local people in Ningguo followed suit.

  Zhang Bin, Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauIn a period of three months and four months, one gang became seven gangs. The bosses of these seven gangs know each other. Look at the first boss Chen. You made money. This is a good way for you to cheat money. Then I’ll come, too. I’ll call a few people, and I’ll set up some computers.

  All seven gang leaders were arrested and the funds involved were frozen over 10 million yuan.

  After months of careful investigation, in July 2019, Ningguo police dispatched more than 200 police officers and sent more than 20 arrest teams to Huzhou, Zhejiang, Hangzhou and many cities in Anhui to carry out unified arrest operations. All the seven criminal gang leaders hiding in various places and the people involved in 14 dens were arrested. At the scene, 95 computers and 219 mobile phones were seized, 13 vehicles involved and a large number of crime tools and articles were seized, and the funds involved were frozen by 10.47 million yuan.

  Zhang Bin, Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau: Then, respectively, to these principal criminals and to some people who play an important role in the matter, that is, our backbone. Criminal detention and compulsory measures were taken against the backbone of the gang.

  The victim has long been in contact with the "master" and is convinced of it.

  As the investigation went on, the police investigating the case found that the victims of this case were all over the country, and one of them sent "open goods" and "transshipment symbols", and the monthly delivery volume of express delivery was thousands. Such a huge shipment volume means that there are not a few victims. When the police contacted them according to the phone number on the courier, almost everyone didn’t realize that they had been cheated.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauIt’s interesting that when we went to find these victims in the later period, sometimes these victims still carried these so-called lucky things with them.

  Among them, many victims have long-term contact with the so-called "master" and are convinced. Mr. Ma from Guangdong, a company owner, communicated with the master on WeChat for half a year. After the suspect was arrested, Mr. Ma was very anxious because he lost contact with the master.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauHe just sighed, that is to say, thanks to your coming, I’ve been looking for the Master for several days, and it’s very strange if I can’t be found. I said, hey, what are you looking for the Master? He said that it’s no wonder that the Master didn’t reply to my message on WeChat and Weibo during this time, but you caught him.

  It turned out that the transshipment bracelet that Mr. Ma bought from the so-called "master" was accidentally broken by him, which made him very nervous and worried that his fortune would be seriously affected.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauHe said that I had to find all the beads, and then string them together. I was afraid that I had offended this god. Then I asked the master to help me resolve it and see what to do. Then I couldn’t find the master. I was very anxious and uneasy.

  The police combed and analyzed the chat records provided by the victims and the suspects, and uncovered one scam after another.

  Ms. Chen, who lives in Shanghai, asked the so-called master for help because of her emotional problems with her husband.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauWhen her husband had an affair, Ms. Chen found this so-called master and wanted to cut off her husband’s peach blossom.

  After a series of procedures, such as buying transshipment symbols, wearing transshipment objects and doing things, Ms. Chen found that the methods provided by the master did not work. Every time she asks, the other party coaxes her into buying higher-level and price items.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauThe first time she did a ritual with a specification of several thousand yuan, she found that her husband’s feelings with her were still not harmonious, so she kept upgrading a specification of the ritual from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and finally the accumulated amount of fraud had reached more than 80 thousand yuan.

   From improving physical condition to improving wealth and stabilizing marriage, "master" seems to be able to solve all the problems in life. According to the preliminary investigation by the police, the victims are basically Weibo fans of these masters, mostly young people aged 20 to 30, many of whom are highly educated.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauLater, after our investigation, we found that there are quite a few deceived groups, including college students and bosses of some enterprises, including some business elites in some big cities, including some artists and stars.

  Wang, a young woman who lives in Beijing, is an artist. She followed the account of "Huizhou Zen Master" on Weibo, and then added the master’s WeChat separately. During the chat, the "master" said that her fortune was good, but because someone close to her passed away, it would hurt her good fortune.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauThe master will explain these bad things to them. You need to cross over, or you will have serious consequences.

  Next, Ms. Wang paid the so-called "Runjin" of 9999 yuan, and paid the so-called "Runjin" of 999 yuan to buy the so-called "Lingfu". On the other hand, the master also recommended a ritual that can cut off her boyfriend’s "rotten peach blossom", claiming that it can make her and her boyfriend’s feelings more intimate and transfer money many times. Miss Wang spent more than 10,000 yuan, but the result was just the opposite. The relationship between her and her boyfriend was getting worse and worse.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauThey claim that they can not only tell fortune by fortune-telling, but also help others improve their fortune through a series of activities such as doing things for others, and solve some problems that may be difficult for this victim to solve in real life. But in fact, these so-called masters, they do not have such ability.

  In just two years, he became a well-known blogger.

  Among these criminal gangs, there are more than 10 million fans of the "fortune-teller Zen Master", Chen Mou. In just two years, he has transformed from an unemployed youth into a well-known online blogger, and has been invited to participate in the "Red Man Festival" and other activities held by the website many times. Why can they accumulate such a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time, and what means have they used to convince many victims?

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauThis is the master, and this thing is what the master calls the bracelet and bracelet that opens the light. For example, the price of this slightly better bracelet has reached more than 500 yuan. For example, he bought this bracelet for a few dollars, but sold it for more than 100 yuan.

  Lie about blessing online to buy cheap goods in bulk and then double them.

  The "shipment" of several hundred yuan or even thousands of yuan received by the victim is actually only an extremely low-cost jewelry purchased by the criminal suspect in bulk online. Once there is the blessing of the so-called master, the price will increase exponentially.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauIn fact, we normal people can see at a glance that this thing is a very cheap small commodity, small handicraft. The victim thinks that this thing has been opened and the master has opened it for him, so he will be willing to pay a high price to buy it, and then make a peace of mind.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau:This is also a charm used by the suspect for fraud, that is, he prepared a wooden seal in advance, printed it on it, and then scribbled on it with a red brush.

  In fact, the person who made the charm was the cousin of Chen Mou, a criminal suspect who manipulated the account of "fortune-teller". The so-called master blessing was all fabricated by them. Of course, the charm is far from having the so-called magic power. Cousin Chen Mou was originally a handyman in the gang.

  Liu Jiayang, police officer of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau:Because of his low level of education, primary school culture, so he sometimes wrote these words are also scribbled.

  The charm is painted casually, and the shipment is a cheap jewelry wholesale online. After it is made, it will be delivered to the victim by courier. Among these businesses, the one with almost no cost but the highest asking price is "doing things".

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau: The cheapest one is 3,3499 yuan. He Suiyuan said that he had a lot of Suiyuan 8999. At present, we have the most scams between victims of nearly 100,000 yuan.

  In fact, the "practice" is to send some videos downloaded or photographed online to the victims, and also tell the victims to "delete them after reading" and not save them in their mobile phones, otherwise they will be "blasphemous".

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauHe saved a lot in his own computer, and it may be sent to the victim named Zhang San and the victim of Li Si, because Zhang San and Li Si are separate and can’t communicate with each other. The same template will deceive many people.

  Not only is the video of "how to do things" fake, but the person who chats sincerely with fans on Weibo WeChat is not a "master" at all. Chen Mou, a criminal suspect, confessed that due to the huge business volume every day, he set up a company and divided the staff into two groups. The members of the first group were responsible for writing articles and posting them online to attract fans.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security Bureau: through the book extract and self-processing, for example, what are the characteristics of this person’s face, what will happen to his next fortune, and what will happen to his official fortune. This netizen, after seeing it, will unconsciously lean on himself. For example, I have a mole between my eyes and my nose. Hey, this face is very similar to mine.

  Once fans ask bloggers if they can read photos alone, members of the Weibo group will tell fans that one-on-one reading is a paid service, and "Master" WeChat needs to be added. At this time, the second group of personnel will meet up.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauAfter reading the photo, the criminal suspect will say that this victim has bad fortune, bad marriage, and you are a villain and too old. Then after the victim psychologically causes panic, he will ask the so-called master to resolve it.

  At this time, the victim didn’t know that the WeChat with "Master" was not the same person as the one on Weibo. The masters who gave him directions were also young people with low academic qualifications and no fixed jobs. All the palmistry analysis and fortune comments are copied according to the template.

  Zhang Bin, Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauThey came to the company and simply studied for three days and five days. For a longer week, read some palm books and give others some advice.

  The effect of being misled by such a master can be imagined. However, these "masters" are labeled as so-called authentication labels, and they have accumulated millions or even tens of millions of fans, making it impossible for many victims to distinguish them. According to the police, this is the concealment and confusion of such fraud cases.

  Police Ma Jian of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauVictims can trust these masters. First of all, Weibo is a big Weibo, and Weibo is a big Weibo with millions of fans. So the first point is that the victim is more convinced of what the so-called master said in consciousness. After the victim added this WeChat, he was generally fooled.

  The police suggested that this kind of fraud mode just took advantage of the victim’s curiosity and took shortcuts. There is no royal road to life, and fate is ultimately in your own hands.

  Zhang Bin, Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningguo Public Security BureauBecause the network is virtual. You don’t know what kind of person, male or female, is sitting opposite the computer. That’s not someone who showed you a palm and a face and said you were in trouble. Others are masters.

The first one after the fuel car was discontinued, with a price of 220,000! BYD Seals Real Car Exposure

A few days ago, BYD officially announced that it had stopped production of fuel vehicles in March, which caused a lot of hot discussion on the Internet. As a new member of the Ocean series and an opponent of Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal will be the first model to be launched after the fuel vehicles were stopped. On April 6th, we obtained a set of exposure pictures of BYD seals, in which the style was exposed for the first time after the daytime running lights were lit. According to the plan, the new car will be built based on E platform 3.0, and it is expected to be officially released in the near future and listed within the year, and the price may be in the range of 220,000-280,000 yuan.

In terms of appearance, the whole front face adopts a brand-new marine aesthetic design concept, and the closed grille design is matched with a new round C-shaped headlight, which makes the new car look younger and sporty. However, compared with the previous official map, the real car also shows the lighting effect, especially the daytime running light in the fog light area under the bumper is lit for the first time, which is quite a bit like a seal beard, and the overall recognition is high.

On the side, the new car adopts a slip-back design, with hidden door handles and low wind resistance wheels, which looks quite fashionable and technological. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4800/1875/1460mm and its wheelbase is 2920mm, which is more advantageous than Tesla Model 3. It is worth mentioning that the new car will provide a variety of styles and colors of front and rear bumper trims, rims, brakes, tails and other matching options.

In terms of the tail, the new car’s new style of penetrating taillights is very eye-catching, and the drop-shaped design on both sides extends to the middle position, which seems to have a high sense of technology and recognition. In addition, the rear spoiler and the rear diffuser below, as well as the design of ventilation holes on both sides, make the new car more visually low and add a sense of movement.

In terms of power, according to the application information, there will be three combinations of 150kW, 230kW single motor and 160kW/230kW dual motor to choose from, and two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions will be provided, and all models will be equipped with Ferrous lithium phosphate blade batteries. It is reported that the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the four-wheel drive version is 3.8 seconds.

To a certain extent, this car has been defined as a direct competitor of Model 3, but don’t forget that Changan C385 will be available in the traditional brands, and Tucki P7 is also an opponent in the new forces. At present, the performance of the new car in a single aspect is not too good, and then it depends more on the comprehensive strength such as endurance data and configuration information.

The editor said:With BYD’s official announcement to stop production of fuel vehicles, it can be seen that it will focus more on the development of new energy fields, and according to the current plan, it will continue to exert its strength on the ocean network. However, recently, BYD’s pricing of new energy vehicles has been loudly shouted by many users. Although Tesla Model 3 has undergone several price adjustments recently, it remains to be revealed how much surprise the new car will bring us in terms of price gap, and whether it can really meet the butcher’s standard in users’ minds.

The finless porpoise ran aground on the beach of the Yangtze River and was rescued in time.

  At 11: 35 on May 14th, a small finless porpoise about 40 cm long ran aground on the beach of Nanyangzhou in Linxiang section of Yueyang, the Yangtze River. The law enforcement officers of Hunan Yueyang Maritime Safety Administration Linxiang Marine Department cooperated with the police of Lucheng Police Station of Changhang Public Security Yueyang Branch for emergency rescue.

  Law enforcement officers carefully examined the body of the small finless porpoise and found no obvious trauma, so they gently pushed it to the deep water area. Due to the heavy wind and waves on the surface of the Yangtze River that day, the small finless porpoise was slapped to the shallow water area. At 12: 05, with the help of law enforcement officers, the finless porpoise swam to the deep water area of the Yangtze River and was successfully rescued.

The exposure of the profiteering chain of waste oil has a net profit of 3 billion per year.

  The Ministry of Public Security cracked a major case of "gutter oil", and the official officially confirmed that "gutter oil" flowed to the table. This incident has once again stung the public’s nerves by the hidden worry of "gutter oil" that has been silent for a long time. After more than a month’s investigation, the reporter of China Business News found that "gutter oil" is flooding in China. First, due to the temptation of profiteering in the whole production and sales chain, the annual net profit is 3 billion yuan, which is equivalent to a central enterprise under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Second, it is due to the lack of supervision by government departments. "Waste oil" is so rampant, where are the government departments such as industry and commerce, quality inspection, urban management, health and epidemic prevention?

  Famous catering enterprises and universities become "oil sources"


  Recently, the Ministry of Public Security cracked a major case of "gutter oil", which once again aroused people’s concern about "gutter oil". Prior to this, the reporter of China Business News conducted a one-month investigation and found out the whole "gutter oil" industrial chain. Under the temptation of high profits, "gutter oil" has formed a huge industry.


  The huge profits behind the price difference in 0.2 yuan


  "We can’t invoice the oil here. It’s almost 185 yuan a barrel, about 40 pounds, and the good one is 205 yuan a barrel. If the temperature is low, it will crystallize, but the good one will not." At the farmer’s market of Nanliangjia Store, Beiqing Road, Changping District, Beijing, a shop assistant pointed to more than 20 white plastic vats under the porch.


  "How can you not invoice? It’s only 4 yuan and 6 pounds. I bought it in the unit canteen. I’m afraid it’s’ gutter oil’. Can you give me a certificate of conformity? "


  "yes." The man answered and handed over a copy paper, which was an edible oil inspection report of a company in Tianjin. It was stamped with the official seal of the inspection agency and impressively printed with the acid value below 1 (acid value below 1 is the first-class edible oil standard). "I will give you as much as you want."


  Such a scene is staged in the farmers’ market around the city every day, and the edible oil refined from "gutter oil" is rampant. In the farmer’s market near Liangjiadian, Beiqing Road, Beijing, we can see that there are countless small vendors selling "gutter oil" in dozens and hundreds of barrels.


  "I have been checked once, but it has been loose in recent months and can be sold again." A store owner described this. Colleagues told reporters not to take pictures, otherwise it will lead to danger, because almost every shop here does such business.


  According to people in the market, a barrel of 40 Jin on the surface actually weighs only 37 Jin, so the price of a Jin is 5 yuan money, and a better Jin of 5.5 yuan. The cheapest price of soybean oil in the supermarket is 5.7 yuan, which is 6 cents or even 20 cents cheaper, which is similar to the price of soybean oil.


  Previously, some professionals questioned whether the "gutter oil" could be returned to the dining table, on the grounds that it was difficult to remove the rancidity and odor of the "gutter oil" itself by simple means, and if it was deeply processed, the cost would be high. In this regard, Chang Hai, a researcher at caams Institute of Oils and Fats, said that it is not difficult to extract edible oil with "waste oil", and the cost is very low, so a small enterprise can do it. "Some media said that the cost of refining is not more than one ton in 300 yuan. I have not studied it carefully, but it will certainly not be too expensive."


  So, is it more likely that a catty of 0.6 yuan oil is cheaper than 0.2? Is it "gutter oil" or soybean oil? Xiang Hai didn’t give a positive answer, but he explained: "Edible oil production is an extremely mature industry, and the competition is fierce. Don’t say that 60 cents a catty is 20 cents cheaper, and oil dealers will break their heads for it. Think about it, a catty is 20 cents cheaper, one ton is 400 yuan, and the oil sellers are tens of tons and hundreds of tons of wholesale. A batch can earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan! "


  Famous restaurants become "gutter oil" and "upstream"


  Since oil from illegal channels is flooding in large quantities, where does all this oil come from? In a restaurant, the reporter interviewed a person who has been digging for "gutter oil" for ten years: "Our favorite restaurants are those that use more oil, such as brand Hunan restaurant and brand Sichuan restaurant, which are the places with the largest amount of gutter oil." While eating, the person pointed to the dish and said with a smile, "I don’t want to order oily dishes when I eat in a restaurant, such as boiled fish, boiled meat, or even Mapo tofu and eggplant braised in oil. How many stores will use oil well?"


  Under the introduction of this person, the reporter went to a famous brand restaurant in Beijing to "squat". At 90 o’clock in the evening, a minibus arrived at the restaurant on time, and the oil dealer who got off the bus looked around warily first. After all, the wind is tight now, and those who illegally pay for oil are afraid of an accident.


  However, the store obviously had an agreement with him. The oil digger cleaned up the kitchen garbage first, and then took out a long pole from the car with a helmet-like spoon tied to his head. He began to open the manhole cover marked "dirty" and dig out the oil floating on the upper floor in the grease trap of the hotel. About seven or eight minutes later, he finished his work quickly, put the bamboo pole away, carried the oil drum back to the car, and drove to the next working point.


  The reporter investigated catering enterprises in Beijing, and found that many catering enterprises, including some famous brands, such as South Beauty, Hunan and Hubei Love, Guo Lin Home Cooking, etc., all gave kitchen waste and "gutter oil" to some unqualified individual collectors for collection. The key point is that although these catering groups are very large, they seldom pay attention to the treatment of "gutter oil" and never sign a unified recycling agreement with recycling enterprises. The recycling of "gutter oil" is decided by each store. In the South Beauty Store in Zhongguancun, Beijing, the Guo Lin Store in the South Road of Beijing Academy of Sciences, and the Xiang ‘eqing Store in the south of Anhua Bridge in Beijing, reporters found that the oil collectors who came to collect oil at night had no legal qualification.


  According to the regulations, Beijing should not allow trucks to enter the Fifth Ring Road until 11 pm. "The police don’t care about oil dealers," said an industry source. "There are two reasons. The first is that they can’t pay much, and people have no money; The second is that even if you impound his car, where will you put it? It stinks, and when you put it in the station, your colleagues will scold you! " This person’s words highlight the fact of the "gutter oil" industry-there is a law but there is no way to take it.


  Colleges and universities are an important source


  Master Yang has been digging for "gutter oil" for many years. When he entered the gate of Peking University, he went straight to the Nongyuan Restaurant. There is a dirty manhole cover at the back of the restaurant. He skillfully buckled the hole in the manhole cover, gently pulled it open and took a look inside.


  "Just finished, the oil has already left." He said.


  The liquid under the manhole cover has been empty, and disgusting leaves are floating. In many places, Master Yang almost doesn’t need to open the manhole cover. As long as he looks at the manhole cover, he will know if anyone has been here. This is the "sense of smell" that has been cultivated for many years.


  "Just a Peking University Agricultural Park, you can get 200 kilograms of hogwash fat every day." Master Yang couldn’t talk about the business of Peking University, but he knew exactly where the important oil source was, and his words showed envy. A person from the catering department of Peking University said that in the normal school season, there are 50,000 people eating here every day, and the consumption of three meals a day is amazing.


  "Peking University’s farm garden and spoon garden, these restaurants are all talked about, and they can get 400 kilograms to 500 kilograms of’ ditch oil’ a day." Master Yang said that big restaurants should pay twice a day, and small restaurants can do it once. After one year, a Peking University can make you at least 200,000 yuan, and "Tsinghua is similar".


  In Tsinghua, near Peking University, there are 40,000 people dining, and there are 24 canteens in total. Oil diggers know this like the back of their hands. Because if you can package it, you can pay hundreds of barrels of oil a year (more than 100 kilograms of oil per barrel), including vegetable oil (fried oil, about several hundred kilograms) that can be sold at a higher price, which is an absolute considerable income.


  "Beijing is a place where colleges and universities are densely populated. Hundreds of thousands of college students, plus hundreds of thousands of students who are studying, have a very large amount of kitchen waste, including gutter oil," said a person in the gutter oil industry. "If gutter oil is to be treated, colleges and universities should definitely be the first to be treated, because colleges and universities have catering centers to operate, and it is generally easier to manage by agreeing on a recycling company."


  Master Yang estimated that universities should account for more than 10% of the "gutter oil" market in Beijing. Secondly, there are troops, large institutions in Beijing, large hospitals, etc., and their consumption of catering oil is no less than that of large catering enterprises.


  On the surface, there is no need to pay for the recycling of "gutter oil" and kitchen waste in colleges and universities, but in fact, there are hidden rules. As far as the reporter knows, at present, the recycling of "gutter oil" in universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua, People’s Congress and Institute of Technology is carried out by enterprises that have not obtained formal qualifications. According to industry insiders, the entry threshold of some universities, including the most famous universities in China, is around tens of thousands of yuan every year. When interviewed by several universities, none of them gave a positive answer to this question.


  This is just Beijing. The resident population in Beijing is only 16 million, and there are more than 30,000 employees engaged in the "gutter oil" industry in China, with an annual net profit of more than 3 billion yuan. This scale index is no less than that of a central enterprise under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.


  process


  Camouflage of processing plant


  In the case of "gutter oil" uncovered by the Ministry of Public Security, a company named wesen Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as wesen) came into public view. Recently, a reporter from China Business News went to the location of this company to investigate and found that the existence of an enterprise that manufactures and sells "gutter oil" like wesen is related to the lack of supervision.


  Camouflage of "chemical enterprise"


  "For the serious violations of Jinan wesen Energy Co., Ltd., neither the people nor the village cadres in the village know, and we usually have no chance to get close to the company’s factory building. When they came in under the guise of developing biodiesel, they didn’t have to say hello to us at all. We only knew that biodiesel was produced. " Yang Xinggang, Diaoshanpo Village, Pingyin County, Shandong Province, told reporters frankly.


  The reporter interviewed several villagers in Diaoshanpo Village. Many villagers said that they didn’t know what this enterprise was doing until the police arrested Liu Liguo, the person in charge of wesen.


  Diaoshanpo Town is a chemical town, with five series of leading products, including pesticides, dyes, pharmaceutical intermediates, refractories and catalysts, with an annual output value of more than 200 million yuan. Chemical industry has become a characteristic leading industry and one of the economic pillars of Diaoshanpo Town. Therefore, the emergence of wesen, in the eyes of most people, is just another chemical enterprise in Diaoshanpo Town.


  Liu Liguo chose the refinery in the most sparsely populated place in the northwest of Diaoshanpo Village. The site used to belong to the seat of Diaoshanpo town government, and the land and factory buildings are state-owned, and the site of Mei Shuikou Co., Ltd. on the south side of it also belongs to the government land. Its west and north are farmland, and the processing factory in the east is separated by an asphalt road. In Yang Xinggang’s words, this site already belonged to state-owned land in the early 1990s, during which several factories were changed and built here. All taxes were owned by Pingyin Local Taxation Bureau, and it did not involve occupying villagers’ cultivated land, so it was naturally difficult to attract villagers’ attention.


  Although the factory is located in Diaoshanpo, it has nothing to do with Diaoshanpo. Because the factory is heavily guarded at ordinary times, there are barbed wire and cameras around the factory, and villagers are generally afraid to get close.


  In order to keep secret, most of the employees employed by the refinery are foreigners. The factory has also made strict regulations on the employees in the factory. All employees must be approved by the company leaders before entering the factory. The employees of the company are forbidden to bring outsiders, including family members, into the factory and talk to strangers, otherwise they will be fined.


  According to a villager, one of his relatives worked in it for more than two months, and the salary offered by Green Company to employees was as high as 3,000 yuan, which is a "high salary" in the local area where agricultural income is the mainstay. However, the employee only worked in it for more than two months and really put up with the smell inside and quit.


  Regulatory vacuum


  The reporter learned from the information obtained by Pingyin Branch of Jinan Administration for Industry and Commerce that wesen Energy Company was established on June 7, 2010 with a registered capital of 1 million yuan, and its business scope covers the production and sales of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester), oleic acid, stearic acid and fatty acid.


  Wesen has existed in the name of biodiesel for more than a year, and no government supervision department has supervised it. In this regard, the reporter interviewed the local industrial and commercial bureau and the Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision.


  "wesen Energy Co., Ltd. turned to produce edible oil in the name of producing biodiesel, which is a kind of fraud. Our Administration for Industry and Commerce can only be responsible for the management of commodity quality and food safety in the circulation field and circulation links within its jurisdiction. " Zhang Yuhe, deputy director of Pingyin Industrial and Commercial Branch, explained this.


  Zhang Jianhua, deputy director of Pingyin Branch of Jinan Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, explained, "According to the Product Quality Law, the responsibility of the Quality Inspection Bureau is to carry out sampling supervision and inspection on certification products. Biodiesel is not a mandatory management product, so it is not included in the inspection. "


  Under the regulatory vacuum, wesen "sells dog meat by hanging sheep’s head". It is understood that wesen buys "gutter oil" from Huang Qiang, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guizhou and other places at a price of about 5,600 yuan per ton, and then processes it into edible oil and sells it at a price of about 8,300 yuan per ton. In the jargon of waste cooking oil processing, the waste cooking oil stored in the yard is called crude oil. If this oil is to be made into edible oil, it must go through at least three processes of hydrolysis, distillation and splitting, and finally the remaining oil is called red oil, which finally flows into the market. The amount of "red oil" produced by "gutter oil" is amazing. It is understood that wesen’s output reaches dozens of tons per day.


  Yang Feng, a long-term owner of grain and oil sales in Diaoshanpo Village, told reporters that in fact, if these oils are used as edible oil, they are particularly easy to distinguish. You can know which is "gutter oil" and which is normal edible oil by smelling it. Under normal channels, the relevant departments can know the sales target of oil as long as they regularly check the sales invoices of "waste oil" processing enterprises.


  The reporter’s investigation found that many local people did not believe that Liu Liguo, who was arrested, was the mastermind of the deep processing of "gutter oil". According to the announcement issued by wesen on June 28th, 2010, Jinan wesen Energy Co., Ltd. has an annual output of 40,000 tons of biodiesel, 10,000 tons of oleic acid and 10,000 tons of stearin. According to the announcement, the person in charge of the company is Zhong Chonggen, who has never appeared since the incident.


  In addition, the corporate name of Green Company found by the reporter on industrial and commercial registration information is Yu Qingpeng, and this person has never appeared, and the reporter has not got in touch with him through various means.


  According to the EIA of Shandong Academy of Sciences, the total investment of wesen project is 45 million yuan, and the annual profit after the project is completed is 15,748,400 yuan. But in fact, this enterprise has turned into a "gutter oil" factory. It is still a mystery how this transformation can be concealed.


  place/territory under sb’s control


  Division of forces of "gutter oil"


  "Waste oil", a seemingly disdainful occupation, contains huge wealth.


  "You don’t know this industry. There are many people who have made a fortune in this industry." Master Yang, who has been digging for "gutter oil" for many years, fiddled with the Apple iPhone4 mobile phone that he had bought for several months, giving an example of his family history. One started this business in the early 1990s, and now he has money. He bought several houses in Yizhuang, Beijing, and his son did nothing, so he went to take drugs and was arrested. The boss bought 50 acres of land in Beijing and even built a school at his own expense. Another boss, who started this business in 1991 and 1992, also made money. Now he has successfully extended his model to other places, and is building chains in other provinces to establish his own "gutter oil" kingdom. Not long ago, the boss built a new factory in Tianjin.


  According to the reporter’s information, the "gutter oil" market in Beijing has been divided up by various forces from other places and divided into gangs. These gangs have their own relatively solid sites, especially in the outer suburbs of Beijing. For example, in Daxing District of Beijing, there are Yuan family, Ma brothers and Dou family from Anhui. In Mentougou, it is run by Cheng and Xu from Jiangsu, and in Fengtai District, it is run by Zhou, Shen and Wang from Jiangsu. In Chaoyang district, it is Tang’s, and in Fangshan, it is Cai’s.


  "The oil and water in Beijing’s gutter oil industry was no secret around 2000." Master Wei, a practitioner of "waste oil" in Haidian District, introduced that in 1997, Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau set up Beijing Environment and Development Company, saying that it was an enterprise of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, but it was actually contracted by a private boss. Relying on the background of the Environmental Protection Bureau, this enterprise has collected more than 200 people engaged in the "waste oil" business in Beijing, and established two centralized waste oil treatment stations in Chaoyang and Fengtai. The two treatment stations take the central axis road of Chang ‘an Street in Beijing as the dividing line, with Chaoyang responsible for the west of the central axis road and Fengtai responsible for the east of the central axis road. "Every year, the East and the West each pay 600,000 yuan to the Environmental Protection Bureau, and the boss makes a net profit of nearly 8 million yuan, which was really not a small sum at that time." A person familiar with the matter said.


  It was not until around 2003 that the company was dissolved by the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau because of the conflict between the boss of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau and Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau. It is reported that for this reason, the private boss started a lawsuit with the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, which ended unexpectedly in the failure of the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau. Beijing’s "gutter oil" market is in a dogfight again, while Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau is forced to withdraw from the "gutter oil" supervision market.


  "However, for illegal operators, this does not mean that the profit in this market has decreased." An industry insider said. Lang Xianping, an economist, calculated that the price of edible oil in the market is 6000 yuan per ton, and the cost of "gutter oil" is probably 300 yuan, and the total profit of the whole "gutter oil" industry can reach 1.5 billion yuan to 2 billion yuan a year.


  According to the estimation of Beijing Municipal Appearance Management Committee, the current authority in charge of "gutter oil" in Beijing, the total amount of "gutter oil" to be treated in Beijing market is more than 25,000 tons every year. According to Lang Xianping, if the profit range of one ton of "gutter oil" is at least 5,000 yuan, the total profit of 25,000 tons will be more than 125 million yuan.

The average monthly income of migrant workers last year was 3072 yuan, and the starting salary exceeded that of college students.

  On April 28th, China Construction Third Bureau and Third Company organized a commendation activity for outstanding migrant workers as "builders and descendants of Luban" in Wuhan. People’s Daily reporter Cheng Yuanzhou photo

  "The starting salary of migrant workers exceeds that of college students", "The wages of migrant workers are rising too fast, and enterprises are under great pressure" … … This statement has appeared frequently in the past two years. What is the salary status of migrant workers? How fast is it rising? Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Labor and Wage Research Institute has provided an exclusive report on migrant workers’ salary for this newspaper.

  Compared with urban workers, it is still low.

  How fast did the wages of migrant workers increase during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period? The project report shows that in 2015, the last year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the average monthly income of migrant workers was 3,072 yuan, while in 2010, the last year of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, the average monthly income of migrant workers was 1,690 yuan, with an average annual increase of 12.7%.

  Among them, the average monthly income of migrant workers in 2011 was 2,049 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.2%. Such a high growth rate attracted special attention. In the following years, the wage increase of migrant workers tended to be stable. In 2012, the average monthly income of migrant workers was 2,290 yuan, up 11.8% year-on-year; In 2013, the average monthly income of migrant workers was 2,609 yuan, an increase of 13.9%; In 2014, the average monthly income of migrant workers was 2,864 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.8%; In 2015, it increased by 7.2% year on year.

  Generally speaking, in the past few years, the wages of migrant workers have achieved rapid growth. However, the report also pointed out that due to the low base, the salary level of migrant workers is still low compared with that of urban workers, which basically remains at around 60%. Looking at the absolute amount, the gap between the wages of migrant workers and the average wages of urban workers has not narrowed. In 2011, the annual wage gap between them was 17,864 yuan, and in 2014 it reached 21,971 yuan.

  Regionally, in the early period of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the income growth rate of migrant workers in the central and western regions was higher than that in the eastern region, and the income gap between the eastern and central and western regions gradually narrowed. From the employment location of migrant workers, the income level and increase of migrant workers in big cities are significantly higher than those in medium and small cities. This can also explain why migrant workers flock to big cities.

  To some extent, the rapid rise is "compensatory growth"

  The average annual growth rate of migrant workers’ income is 12.7%, far exceeding the GDP growth during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period. How to improve the salary of migrant workers quickly? According to the analysis of the report, there are three main factors.

  First, China’s sustained economic development is the main factor of migrant workers’ salary growth. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, although China’s economy has been affected by the international environment and its speed has slowed down, it is still the fastest growing country among the major economies in the world. In the same period, employment remained stable. For five consecutive years, the number of new jobs in cities and towns remained above 12 million, and the registered unemployment rate in cities and towns remained at 4.1%. This provides support for the continuous increase in the wages of migrant workers.

  Second, the improvement of the minimum wage standard creates favorable conditions for the salary growth of migrant workers. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the average annual increase of the minimum wage reached 13.1%. By 2015, the highest standard in Shenzhen has reached 2030 yuan, and the highest level of minimum wage in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities has exceeded 1100 yuan. Most migrant workers are at the low end of the labor market, and their salary level is greatly affected by the minimum wage. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the adjustment of the minimum wage has a wide range and a fast frequency, which has played an important role in the salary growth of migrant workers.

  Third, the education level and training of migrant workers themselves have been continuously improved, which has promoted the improvement of migrant workers’ salary level to some extent. In recent years, China has implemented a series of vocational skills upgrading plans for migrant workers. By the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the proportion of migrant workers who have received training has continued to increase, accounting for more than 35%.

  In addition, the rapid increase in the salary level of migrant workers since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" is also a reasonable return to the abnormal phenomenon of long-term low salary of migrant workers. The wages of migrant workers have been hovering at a low level before 2008. In the Pearl River Delta and other places, the average monthly wages of migrant workers have only increased in 68 yuan in the past 10 years. According to the report, the rapid increase in the wages of migrant workers in the past few years is a "compensatory increase" to some extent, and it is also an objective reflection of the reality that the relationship between supply and demand in China’s labor market is undergoing profound changes and the cost of living in cities is rising rapidly.

  Labor supply and demand determine that wages still have room to rise.

  At present, there are still many unsatisfactory places in the salary of migrant workers.

  The phenomenon of wage arrears for migrant workers has not been fundamentally solved. The construction industry is still a frequent place where wages of migrant workers are owed. What needs to be paid attention to is that the amount of wage arrears has increased a lot in recent years. In addition, migrant workers work long hours and work overtime seriously. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the average annual employment time of migrant workers is about 10 months, the average monthly employment time is more than 25 days, and the average daily employment time is about 8.8 hours. The number of migrant workers who work more than 44 hours per week stipulated in the Labor Law has been as high as 85%, and many migrant workers are forced to work overtime "voluntarily".

  Some people believe that with the slowdown of economic growth, the time when the wages of workers, including migrant workers, are growing at a high speed is gone forever. What will happen to the wage growth of migrant workers in the future? According to the report of the Institute of Wages of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the wages of migrant workers in China still have a large room for improvement.

  On the one hand, China’s economy will continue to grow at a certain speed, and the labor market will continue to release a considerable number of jobs. However, after years of large-scale and continuous transfer, China’s agricultural labor force has shown a trend of increasing the total amount and decreasing the growth rate. The rural labor force has changed from unlimited supply to limited supply, and it has moved towards equal supply and demand. This change in supply and demand will directly affect the wage income of migrant workers. On the other hand, China’s labor wage cost is still significantly lower than that of developed countries and some developing countries. Although it is higher than that of some neighboring countries in recent years, the labor productivity has increased rapidly in the same period and still has considerable advantages. Considering that the average monthly wage of migrant workers is only about 60% of the average monthly wage of urban workers, the project report predicts that the wage level of migrant workers will continue to increase in a certain proportion in the next few years, which is expected to reach about 10%.

South Korea’s "Four Kings" Gathered in the First Place


Yuan Bin, who performed well in Mother.


Song Seung Heon’s black bright leather suit made a handsome appearance.


Zhang Dongjian is still charming smile.


Lee Byunghun shocked from the fire.

  Zhang Dongjian, Yuan Bin, Song Seung Heon and Lee Byunghun, the "Four Kings of Korea", gathered at the Dome in Tokyo, Japan, on December 17th, and attended the "Four of A Kind of Korean Wave" fan activity. This was the first time that the four of them made their debut together in Japan, which made nearly 60,000 fans scream wildly. The event was held 30 minutes later than expected, and in Lee Byunghun, which is popular in Japan, he was the first one to shock from the fire.

  As for the reasons for the postponement of the event, Lee Byunghun explained: "The postponement of the opening time is all due to my reasons. I just finished shooting a new drama in South Korea a few hours ago, and I am really sorry that I am late after rushing here. I feel very tired because of the lack of continuous sleep, but I was awake when I heard the warm cheers of everyone! " The thoughtful and shocking way of coming on stage made the fans scream harder.

  Yuan Bin then said excitedly, "I was so excited that I didn’t sleep all night last night!" Zhang Dongjian greeted his fans in fluent Japanese: "I am so happy to meet you again!" Then he showed his desire to play baseball in the Tokyo Dome. Not to be outdone, Song Seung Heon, who was standing beside him, also greeted the fans in Japanese and said humorously: "Dong Jian just said that he would play a ball here. I think I am not good at this sport, so I can only be a caddy!" Humorous words once again set off a small climax.

  On that day, Hur Jin-ho, the director of the Korean film Snow in April, acted as the executive director. Four male stars not only performed a wonderful drama with "Seoul Station" as the background, but also sang a Japanese song "Here is full of love" together. The charm of the superstars made the fans feast their eyes on the scene.

Self-cooking pots and sea bottom fishermen are "self-heating", so don’t ignite "hidden thunder" when burning themselves.

Editor’s Note: This article is from WeChat WeChat official account "Whale Merchant" (ID:bizwhale), by Wang Xiaoxuan, published by 36Kr with authorization.

Not long ago, the brand of cutting-edge consumer goods announced that it had completed the C++ round of financing within three years, with an amount exceeding 100 million yuan. This company, established in 2018, took only two years with sales exceeding 1 billion.

In recent years, the self-heating hot pot tide spawned by the "one-person food" single economy has caused brands such as Haidilao, Xiaolongkan and Kaixiaozao to flood in. After instant noodles, self-heating hot pot has been promoted to "a must-have for hoarding goods".

When the self-heating hot pot has become a "good heart" for young people and migrant workers, the instant food industry is also welcoming the category explosion, but the self-heating "evergreen style" seems to be turning into a "problem style", and the problems of safety and environmental protection have not only become the shortcomings of the brand, but also restricted the development of the industry.

The road to breaking the game is imminent.

Self-heating hot pot started in Wechat business in 2015. After nearly five years of development, it has gradually developed from online celebrity food to a popular self-heating fast food. From 2015 to 2019, the scale of China’s self-heating hot pot market rose from 233 million to 5.5 billion, and it is estimated that the market scale will reach 7 billion in 2020.

In fact, the technical barrier of self-heating chafing dish is not high, and its principle is the "heating method" in middle school chemistry textbooks. The aluminum powder, activated carbon, sodium bicarbonate and other substances in the heating bag react with the primary battery, which will release a lot of heat and sometimes release flammable gases such as hydrogen.

This food heating technology first appeared in the 1960s. At that time, in Belgium and the Netherlands, people had begun to use quicklime and water as a heating agent to heat mashed potatoes.

In the United States in the 1970s, it was inevitable that the army could not use naked fire to cook food because of bad weather or special strategic needs when performing tasks in the wild. In this case, more convenient self-heating technology came in handy. As military supplies, this is also the first industrial application of food self-heating technology, which was called "hot food of field rations" at that time.

The category of self-heating hot pot should start from 2015. At that time, the self-heating hot pot industry in China rose quietly, and only a few self-heating hot pot brands sold self-heating hot pot products through Wechat business channels, so the market popularity was low and the scale was difficult to expand.

Wechat business’s brand voice is low, the market cultivation degree is low, and it does not have its own production ability, the product quality control is not strict enough, and the user’s mind of self-heating hot pot has not yet been established. Only a small number of consumers know the existence of self-heating hot pot, which leads to the small market demand of self-heating hot pot and the inability to expand production.

From 2017 to 2018, at the moment when the brand of Wechat business was just emerging, many offline chain hot pot brands joined the track one after another, including Haidilao, Xiaolongkan, Dezhuang and Kaixiaozao. They have independent production, processing capacity, restaurant channels, control the taste and taste of hot pot ingredients, and have a natural customer base.

Taking Haidilao as an example, the launch of self-heating hot pot this time is another attempt of the brand in take-out. Before, the take-out of this kind of hot pot brand was always expensive, and it didn’t keep fresh and keep warm. Compared with hot pot take-out, self-heating hot pot has improved in presentation, product heating and heat preservation, and it has become a new product popular with consumers for a time.

Subsequently, they seized the opportunity to promote it through celebrity endorsements, pre-screening advertisements in cinemas and TV drama advertisements. At the same time, they settled in online channels such as Tmall, Taobao and JD.COM, and offline store channels such as convenience stores and supermarkets to further expand their customer base.

From left to right, there are Haidilao self-heating hot pot, Dezhuang self-heating hot pot and Xiaolongkan self-heating hot pot.

Zeng Yongxiong, vice president of Dezhuang Group, once recalled the madness of his peers. "At the Chongqing Hot Pot Festival in November 2017, I saw that almost all the participating hot pot brands launched self-heating hot pots."

However, these chain hot pot brands do not have the experience of making fast-moving consumer goods, and their ability to promote products and develop channels is not good. After 2018, the orders of many bottom factories, vegetable yards and meat factories fell rapidly, and small brands were eliminated one after another, which gave the opportunity of "latecomers".

Major food brands follow the trend. In 2017, Mo Xiaoxian took the lead on the stage of self-heating hot pot, and the price was 10-20 yuan, which was half cheaper than Haidilao’s 36.9 yuan, taking the route of small profits but quick turnover.

Coincidentally, Cai Hongliang, the founder of Baicaowei, made a comeback in the following year, and entered the self-heating hot pot camp to create a brand "self-hi pot", with prices ranging from 10 yuan to 30 yuan. On the day of "double 11" in 2018, the sales volume of self-heating chafing dish in the whole network exceeded 4.5 million copies, which was more than doubled year-on-year. Since then, the self-heating chafing dish industry has entered a stage of rapid development.  

According to the third-party data, in June 2020, the market share of Haidilao and Zihaiguo reached 13.12% and 11.27% respectively, except Mo Xiaoxian, which reached 9.83%, all other brands were around 5% or below.

Among them, the development of self-shabu-shabu is particularly rapid. In 2018, the flagship store of self-shabu-shabu Tmall was launched, and the sales volume of single products became the first in 24 hours, reaching 100 million in the third quarter. In 2019, the overall marketing volume exceeded 500 million, and the turnover in the first half of 2020 exceeded 600 million.

Behind these beautiful figures, it is the credit of self-defeating marketing.

At first, Kenny Lin was invited to promote the advantages of the product with sufficient weight and good taste on social platforms such as Weibo and live broadcast, and humorous product advertisements were filmed for the promotion. A large number of stars filmed videos of eating the pot, attracting a large number of consumers to imitate and buy the hot pot products.

After the red-hot pot was ushered in, it quickly spent hundreds of millions of yuan to put creative pre-screening advertisements in major cinemas, such as Wanda, Dadi, China Film and other well-known cinemas, to stimulate consumers’ desire to buy through advertising videos, and to drive the sales growth of the pot products.

Open a small stove similar to a self-contained pot, boarded Tmall in December 2019, and became the 618 category TOP 1 in half a year; During the period of double 11 in 2020, more than 130,000 sets of products launched by the brand were all sold out in one minute, and the brand also won the TOP1 category of self-heating rice in double 11. Later, Sean Xiao, a popular star, was invited to be the spokesperson for Kaixiaozao, who was well versed in fan economy, to highlight the brand personality and youthful image.

Film and television dramas are also one of the ways to promote the brand of self-heating hot pot. In the TV series "School of Youth", the protagonist Lin Miaomiao has been allowed to enjoy eating self-cooking pots many times. With the rapid popularity of film and television dramas such as "School of Youth" and "Eye of the Storm", a large number of consumers began to buy self-cooking pots to taste.

After a set of marketing combination boxing, Zigui Pot enhanced the brand awareness, and the sales volume rose sharply. It won the first place in the same category of Tmall JD.COM on the day of "618" in 2018, the first place in the same category of "Double Eleven" in 2018, and the TOP1 brand of MAT2020 instant food sales. 

Excerpted from CBNData《2021 Insight Report on Instant Food Industry "

Mo Xiaoxian, one of the competing products of the pot, is also based on TV dramas and variety shows, and at the same time, new media such as live broadcasts and short videos are arranged. The brand also sponsored Mango TV "Daughters’ Love 2" and implanted the brand in 10 TV series. In terms of new media, Mo Xiaoxian cooperated with KOL on mainstream social media such as Weibo, Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker, bilibili, Today’s Headline, Xiaohongshu, WeChat WeChat official account, etc., and shared grass in matrix.

Among these brands, Mo Xiaoxian and Xiao Zao are all online and offline, and only the early self-cooking pot is a pure online brand, grasping the in-station traffic of mainstream e-commerce channels such as Tmall and JD.COM. After November 2018, it was only after the shabu-shabu that it entered the offline channel, and 80% of the cities distributed goods online, seeking the second growth pole.

In fact, offline channels have also brought considerable achievements to the pot. It is reported that in 2019, the overall sales of self-cooking pots, which were only established for two years, exceeded 500 million yuan, of which 70% came from offline dealers. Recently, the new brand "Xiaoqi Kitchen", which is a high-profile brand, mainly consists of various condiments such as stir-fry sauce and bibimbap sauce, and obviously needs to expand the category boundary.

In October, 2020, Zigui Pot began to set up an offline store named "Zigui Pot Hot Pot Clay Pot Rice" in Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places, mainly engaged in clay pot rice with ingredients from Zigui Pot. There are more than 30 kinds of dishes in the store, and the per capita consumption is around 30 yuan. This attempt to enter the offline store from the pot is not only to enhance the brand communication, but also to try to find new performance explosion points.

In terms of categories, the older the players of self-heating hot pot, and the capital support, the brand realizes that "hot pot" is not daily enough, and category innovation is needed to cater to the taste buds of different consumers and the needs of different consumption scenarios. 

Self-cooking pot opens a mesh matrix product innovation, expanding many categories such as clay pot rice, bento, vermicelli, zongzi, and hundreds of SKUs, covering self-heating, brewing, quick cooking, ready-to-eat and other ways of use. Among them, "self-heated rice" has become the "new standard" for young people. 

Its brand has also launched a series of sub-brands of self-heating snail powder and boiled noodles-"Picture", in which "Picture" can be eaten after boiled in cold water. The products include Chinese bagged noodles, Chinese boxed noodles, Chinese barreled noodles and Japanese barreled noodles. 

Kaixiaozao and Sanjiu Weitai jointly launched the "Angelica Pork Belly Chicken" self-heating rice, which made the self-heating products that consumers always thought were "unhealthy" look healthier. Some consumers even added raw eggs, vegetables and other ingredients to the self-heating rice, which not only ensured nutrition, but also enhanced the fun of "cooking".

These "routines" make the self-heating hot pot brand quickly start to become a leader in the industry. However, the accompanying security questions have never stopped, and even become more obvious.

On the black cat complaint platform, there are 141 complaints about the self-help cooker and 30 complaints about Mo Xiaoxian. More than 40 complaints are about the self-help cooker eating foreign bodies such as hair, sand and insects. There are also many complaints about damaged heating packages and false propaganda. 

It can be seen that the problem of unclean ingredients in self-heating hot pot is not uncommon. Its dishes are similar to hot pot, with lunch meat, vermicelli, lotus root, fish balls and other foods as the main ingredients, and basically do not use green vegetables that can not be preserved. However, this kind of nutrition is not balanced, and high salt, oil and fat have become the labels of self-heating hot pot, and its oil and salt content generally exceeds the recommended intake of China Nutrition Society.

According to Zhu Danpeng, a food industry analyst in China, the rapid development of self-heating food driven by the epidemic situation is a phased dividend. In the future, with the gradual deepening of the "home economy", there will be a certain market for this kind of food. However, at present, the self-heating food industry still lacks relevant national standards, and food enterprises need to ensure good quality. This kind of online celebrity products have a long way to go if they want to stay popular.

The State Council has also issued a number of convenience food-related policies in terms of food safety and technological upgrading, in order to facilitate a healthy competitive environment in the food industry, unify industry standards and accelerate the steady development of the industry. 

Excerpted from CBNData《2021 Insight Report on Instant Food Industry "

In addition to the safety and hygiene of ingredients, consumers are more concerned about the safety problems in the heating process, such as whether the lime bag will explode, burn and endanger personal safety. This concern is not out of nothing, and similar adverse safety incidents have occurred many times, and consumer complaints are also increasing.

Although the package of self-heating hot pot is written in bold red letters "No eating, no hot water and no naked flame", there are still many safety problems of self-heating hot pot every year.

Firefighters conducted an experiment on National Fire Safety Day in 2020. You can see four security risks.

First, if the steam port of the self-heating hot pot is blocked, an explosion may occur. In fact, even if the steam port is not blocked, because it is heated to a high temperature in a short time, the steam released will be sprayed on people, which may also lead to burns. 

Second, the sudden warming of the lower surface of the self-heating hot pot will lead to the sudden warming of the placed desktop. If the table top material is not malleable (such as ceramics or glass), local overheating may lead to cracking. And if the desktop is not heat-resistant, it may be burnt-although it does not cause harm, it is not worth damaging the furniture.

Third, the contents of the heating bag itself are dangerous goods. Calcium lime in a self-heating bag can be regarded as "inflammable and explosive dangerous goods" with iron powder and aluminum powder. 

Fourth, we should also consider the environmental impact. After the hot pot is heated, quicklime becomes hydrated lime, which is very corrosive. Throwing a considerable amount of hydrated lime into the environment will have a great impact on the disposal site. In food production, the waste with high acidity and alkalinity cannot be directly discarded or discharged, while the garbage from self-heating chafing dish can be regarded as "harmful waste".

As the head brand of self-heating food industry, self-cooking pot began to build automation technology factories in order to change the above situation, and 10 factories were built in three months, totaling 450,000 square meters.

Self-cooking pot and Chongqing Institute of Quality and Standardization also participated in drafting the group standards of Self-heating Instant Food and Heating Package for Food, which led the self-heating food industry to a higher standard with self-discipline.

In order to reduce costs and improve production efficiency, Zihiguo has built a 30,000-square-meter taste center in Chongqing, and built intelligent factories in Henan, Jiangsu and other 10 places, adding automatic assembly lines, which greatly increased production capacity and released two-thirds of the labor force. Make products more attractive in price by saving costs.

In terms of packaging, Zigui Pot gradually gave up plastic packaging, and invested a lot of human and financial resources to develop and more environmentally friendly packaging products. In the past, the commonly used red and black plastic packaging boxes have been changed from self-cooking pots to more environmentally friendly ones, and the sugarcane paper outer boxes made of national environmental protection materials can be directly degraded, which is more environmentally friendly and safe. The silvery-looking self-cooking lunch box can also be waterproof and oil-proof, and can also be cooked at high temperature, making it more convenient to use.

Nowadays, more and more brands have joined in the battlefield of self-heating food, and the head player such as self-cooking pot can only make haste to avoid frequent hidden dangers such as food safety, so as to continue to "hey" on this road.
