Liuyang, the hometown of fireworks： income from fireworks was exported overseas a hundred years ago, with an annual output value of hundreds of billions.

On October 1st and 4th, there were two fireworks displays in Orange Island, Changsha, which were the last two fireworks displays in Orange Island this year. This activity originally came from the weekend fireworks in Orange Island. Since August 28th, 2010, there will be gorgeous fireworks over Orange Island every Saturday night. These fireworks and discharge technologies are provided by companies in Liuyang, Hunan, the hometown of fireworks in China. (Text /AI Finance and Economics Intern Jiang Wenhua, Editor/Yang Shufang)
Liuyang is located on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, in the northeast of Hunan Province, and is managed by Changsha City. In 2016, Liuyang achieved a GDP of 121.82 billion yuan, and the county economy and basic competitiveness jumped to the 19th place among the top 100 counties in China. When it comes to Liuyang, most people will think of the lyrics in Liuyang River: "Liuyang River, which bends through nine bends, reaches Xiangjiang River by 50-mile waterway"; Some people will think that this is the hometown of Tan Sitong and Wang Zhen; Others remembered that the words "Liuyang Fireworks" were printed on the fireworks wrapping paper bought during the Spring Festival.
Mashi Old Street in Mashi Village is the dividing line between Jiangxi Province and Hunan Province. One side of the street belongs to Jiangxi Province and the other side is Hunan Province. The history of fireworks in Liuyang can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Tang Wude (AD 621), Li Yi, the founder of fireworks, was born in Mashi Village at the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. This village belongs to Fuli Town, Liling City, Hunan Province, with Shangli County, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province in the east and Jingang Town, Liuyang City in the north. Due to disasters and epidemics for years, Li Yi filled a small bamboo tube with nitrate, led it to ignite, and dispersed the miasma in Shan Lan with smoke, thus reducing the epidemic of plague. Soon, firecrackers filled with small bamboo tubes became popular.
Later, Li Yi passed on the firecracker production technology to his neighbors, so that they could get rid of the dilemma of "relying on the weather to eat". Because of this, Li Yi was regarded as the founder of fireworks. In the third year of Hongwu in Ming Taizu (AD 1370), the local people designated Li Yi’s birthday and April 18th of the lunar calendar as the Fireworks Festival. At present, the main producing areas of fireworks, such as Liuyang and Liling in Hunan, Shangli and Wanzai in Jiangxi, have all built Li’s ancestral temples.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, fireworks for entertainment appeared and became popular. Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty has a poem: "There are thousands of lights on the trees, and seven flowers bloom." In the Song Dynasty, there was Xin Qiji’s "Thousands of trees bloom in the east wind night, and the stars are like rain". Liuyang, adjacent to Li Yi’s hometown, the production of fireworks reached its peak in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, Liuyang fireworks became a tribute to the capital, and they were exported to East Asia, South Asia, Europe and America from 1875.
In 1980s and 1990s, with the re-recognition of the private economy, large and small fireworks factories began to spread in every corner of Liuyang. Most of these fireworks factories are family-based, and the workshops are just a few earth houses. Outside the earth house, there is a metal ball standing. Everyone needs to hold the metal ball to eliminate static electricity before entering the fireworks factory. In addition, no matter who wears clothes that are easy to generate static electricity, it is forbidden to enter.
1986年，浏阳花炮在摩纳哥第21届国际焰火大赛中获得金奖。这也是中国首次在国际烟花节上获得大奖。九十年代，伴随着浏阳撤县建市，花炮出口创税总额达到全市90%以上。1995年，浏阳市被国家授予“中国烟花之乡”称号。但烟花之乡一直存在散、乱、差、科技含量低等问题。此外，爆炸事故也时有发生。1998年，浏阳推进花炮产业升级，取缔了近万家非法生产的手工作坊，并制订花炮企业强制性安全生产标准。
到了2002年，浏阳烟花进入南美市场。六年后（2008年），浏阳获得北京奥运会开闭幕式焰火燃放权。在20多分钟时间里，共有12万发礼花绽放，浏阳烟花占到了整个燃放量的70%左右。奥运会开幕式的焰火表演上，由浏阳制造的29个特效烟花“脚印”，沿着北京的中轴线，从永定门、前门、天安门、故宫、鼓楼一步步走向奥运会主会场，代表奥运会从发源地雅典一步一步走到中国。
In 2010, Liuyang Fireworks Industry Cluster achieved an output value of 12.46 billion yuan and a tax revenue of 972 million yuan. In 2016, Liuyang Fireworks have been exported to more than 100 countries and regions, with a total export volume of 2.76 billion yuan, accounting for 60% of the total national export volume. However, with people paying more and more attention to environmental protection in recent years, many cities have successively issued "prohibition orders" for fireworks. Hunan plans to reduce more than 1,000 fireworks enterprises in 2017. Among them, only Liuyang will be reduced by more than 100.
Fireworks enterprises in Liuyang are divided into one, two and three categories. One type of enterprises can enjoy generous policy and financial support, followed by the second type, and the third type will be included in the key supervision and rectification targets. Many enterprises rebuild their factories, but they don’t "upgrade" easily, because upgrading means more investment, and some family enterprises are often overwhelmed. The new situation makes the future of Liuyang fireworks enterprises full of uncertainty. Just like the fireworks in Orange Island, considering the environment and other factors, the number of fireworks is decreasing year by year. How many times can it be set off next year is still unknown.

Last winter in Shaanxi was the coldest winter in more than 30 years.

　　　　Xinhuanet Xi ‘an, March 14 (Reporter Liang Juan) The continuous sunny weather and the rapidly rising temperature finally sent away the cold of last winter. According to the analysis of meteorological data recently, Shaanxi Meteorological Bureau thinks that the winter of 2007 is the coldest winter in Shaanxi for more than 30 years, and the precipitation is 73% more than normal.


　　　　According to the Shaanxi Meteorological Bureau, last winter (from December 2007 to February 2008), the average temperature in Shaanxi Province was-1.3 degrees Celsius, which was 1.3 degrees Celsius lower than normal, the lowest since the winter of 1976.


　　　　According to reports, the winter in Shaanxi Province was warmer before the winter last year, and it continued to be unusually cold after the winter. In December 2007, the average monthly temperature in the whole province was 0.3 degrees Celsius, which was 0.3 degrees Celsius higher than normal. In January 2008, the average temperature was-3.2 degrees Celsius, which was 1.6 degrees Celsius lower than normal. In February, the average temperature was-0.8 degrees Celsius, which was 2.1 degrees Celsius lower than normal, both of which were abnormally low.


　　　　At the same time, the precipitation in Shaanxi last winter was 73% more than normal, and the average precipitation in the province was 35.4 mm. In January 2008, the average precipitation in the whole province was 18.4 mm, which was 2.2 times higher than that in the same period of normal years, which was a rare anomaly in the past 20 years.


　　　　According to the analysis of meteorological data, since 1987, the average winter temperature in Shaanxi Province has been on the warm side, and all walks of life have gradually adapted to the warm winter climate conditions, but the awareness of preventing cold weather in winter has weakened. Once cold weather occurs in winter, its harm and influence will be more serious.


　　　　Climate experts say that in the context of global warming, although the average temperature is on the rise, there will still be continuous snowfall and cold weather in some years. It is suggested that we should pay attention to the influence of freezing rain, snow and cold weather in winter, and do a good job in agricultural production, power supply, water supply, transportation and other preventive measures and material reserves before winter.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, August 30 (Qiu Yu) The application announced by the Beijing minibus index management system shows that all the 60,000 new energy vehicle indicators have been robbed. New energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular. The reporter from Zhongxin. com (WeChat WeChat official account: cns2012) found that more than 10 provinces have introduced relevant policies to encourage the purchase and use of new energy vehicles, and the problems such as insufficient number of charging piles are expected to be improved.

　　Charging facilities — —

　　Many places require large public buildings to charge parking spaces not less than 10%.

　　The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Strengthening the Planning and Construction of Urban Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities, saying that by 2020, the number of electric vehicles in China will exceed 5 million, and the contradiction between the serious shortage of charging facilities and the rapid growth of electric vehicles will be further aggravated.

　　In order to solve this problem, Hebei, Fujian and other places put forward requirements for the configuration of charging facilities near residential areas and large public buildings in documents.

　　The reporter found out that Hebei, Fujian, Guangdong, Chongqing and other places require that the parking spaces for new residential buildings should be 100% reserved for the construction and installation of charging facilities, and the parking spaces with charging facilities for large public buildings should be no less than 10% of the total parking spaces. At least one fast charging and replacing power station should be built for every 2,000 electric vehicles.

　　Regarding the proportion of parking spaces with charging facilities in large public buildings, Shandong and Hainan have higher requirements, with 15% and 20% respectively.

　　Popularization and application &mdash; &mdash;

　　In 2018, 100% of new vehicles in Hainan public institutions will use new energy vehicles.

　　Many places plan to strengthen the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in the field of public services, and put forward specific proportions.

　　Hainan requires that from 2016 to 2020, the proportion of new energy buses in newly added and replaced buses will reach 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% respectively. From 2018 onwards, new energy vehicles should be 100% used for vehicles added or replaced by public institutions every year, except in special circumstances.

　　Shandong proposed that in 2014-2016, the proportion of new energy vehicles purchased by government agencies and public institutions in Qingdao and other demonstration cities for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in that year was not less than 30%, and it will increase year by year.

　　Not only in the field of public services, Gansu has also put forward requirements for the overall promotion of new energy vehicles in the province. From 2016 to 2020, the number of new energy vehicles promoted in the province shall be no less than 10,000, 12,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 30,000 respectively, and the number of new energy vehicles promoted shall account for no less than 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% of the total number of new and updated vehicles in the region.

　　Beijing, Shanghai and other places set a ceiling for the total amount of subsidies.

　　Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan and other places subsidize new energy vehicles, and at the same time set the upper limit of the total subsidy.

　　Beijing and Hainan stipulate that for new energy vehicles, the subsidy standard shall be determined according to the ratio of 1:1 between the state and the city, and the total financial subsidy of the state and the city shall not exceed 60% of the sales price of the vehicle.

　　Shanghai and Gansu put forward in the document that the total financial subsidies of the state and the city for new energy vehicles should not exceed 50% of the vehicle sales price.

　　In Hebei Province, nine types of new energy vehicles, such as government official vehicles, law enforcement patrol cars, school buses and taxis, were included in the scope of public services. During the promotion period, provincial finance subsidized car buyers according to the national subsidy standard of 1:1. (End)

Automobile aftermarket observation： speeding up the cultivation of new supply in automobile aftermarket

　　Make an appointment online, and you don’t have to wait to go to the store for maintenance; Flexible production, timely response to small batch parts orders; In recent years, new technologies, new products, new formats and new models have emerged in China’s automobile aftermarket, and the automobile consumption potential has been further released, effectively promoting the scale growth, structural optimization and quality improvement of the automobile aftermarket.

　　Digital green transformation, upgrading and upgrading of automobile maintenance service

　　"A few days ago, the car was smashed, and the store time was reserved through the mobile phone application, without queuing; It is really convenient to add the model and the year of car purchase, and also intelligently recommend the corresponding accessories. " Mr. Zhang from Hefei, Anhui Province went to a car maintenance shop to repair the car, and the repair was completed quickly, and the process was also comfortable.

　　After the vehicle was inspected, Mr. Zhang received an electronic quotation. The required goods and services are each marked with the number and price. The owner can check the inspection status of the vehicle on the mobile phone application. The quotation is consistent with the inspection record, and there is no additional recommendation service, which solves the problems of opaque information and price. Nowadays, more and more consumers choose to carry out automobile maintenance through the "online and offline integration" platform, and the related business volume has achieved rapid growth.

　　The digital level of automobile maintenance has improved, and the pace of greening is also accelerating. In a green shared car body panel spraying center in Linping District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the dust in the dry grinding room was sucked into the integrated bag, and the dust collection efficiency reached 98%.

　　"The whole process adopts water-based paint operation, replaces the traditional water milling process with dry grinding process, and is also equipped with compound environmental protection equipment, which can realize the whole process control of waste from source to end." Xiao Youquan, the relevant person in charge of the center, said that some small auto repair shops are prone to environmental pollution due to the lack of professional equipment and personnel, and now the surrounding auto repair shops can come here to share services.

　　By the end of 2023, the number of cars in China was 336 million, and the average age of passenger cars has exceeded 6 years, so the demand for maintenance services has increased accordingly. "In 2020, China’s automobile maintenance and repair market will be about 1.42 trillion yuan, and it is estimated that by 2025, the market scale will reach 1.74 trillion yuan." Li Tongmei, Vice Chairman of china automobile dealers association Aftermarket Parts Branch, introduced.

　　Li Tongmei believes that the current automobile maintenance service still has the characteristics of "small and weak": on the one hand, standardization and standardized operations need to be strengthened, and the quality and level of maintenance services still have room for improvement; On the other hand, the maintenance service system around new energy vehicles is still in its infancy, and it is necessary to strengthen the technical level and professional talent reserve.

　　Different from traditional fuel vehicles, the maintenance of new energy vehicles mainly focuses on "three electricity" systems such as batteries, motors and electronic controls, but there is a big gap in technicians who are proficient in "three electricity" maintenance at present. In view of this realistic demand, some automobile service platforms explore the mode of school-enterprise cooperation and cultivate high-skilled talents.

　　In the training base of Guizhou Vocational College of Electronic Technology, students are looking for problems and overhauling the parts of new energy vehicles-this is a practical course of school-enterprise cooperation offered by Tuhu Car Maintenance.

　　"We set up new energy automobile classes with vocational colleges, jointly develop courses, build production-education integration bases and practice training bases in Shanghai, Guangdong, Guizhou and other places, and strive to train 1,200 talents in related majors every year, and gradually realize the’ oil and electricity simultaneous repair’ of stores." The person in charge of the new energy vehicle maintenance service market has great potential, and enterprises are actively exploring the provision of tailor-made products and services, and cooperating with new energy vehicle brands to help them provide after-sales service.

　　Low cost and high efficiency docking, continuous optimization of parts circulation environment

　　There are many automobile brands on sale in China, and there are different types of automobile parts in different years and styles, so there is a great demand for aftermarket parts supply. Promoting the high-quality development of the automotive aftermarket is inseparable from the upgrading of accessories and the improvement of circulation efficiency. In recent years, related enterprises have made some explorations in this regard.

　　Small batch and flexible production, more timely response.

　　"The axle products of this car are relatively small. We have consulted many companies in China and can’t produce them. Can you provide them?" At 10 o’clock in the morning, the phone of domestic marketing customer service department of Wenzhou Guansheng Auto Parts Group rang.

　　"No problem, you send the parameters, and we will organize production immediately." The crisp and neat answer makes the customer very satisfied.

　　"At present, Guansheng’s product categories cover most models, which can meet customers’ demand for small batch and multi-variety orders." Chen Xianghua, director of domestic marketing of Guansheng Co., told reporters that such confidence comes from the flexible production line of enterprises.

　　Walking into the production workshop, welding equipment and fixture can be quickly switched. Workers can automatically call the corresponding equipment program by selecting the workpiece number on the touch screen, and organize production according to different delivery requirements. "We also use the intelligent scheduling system. For example, after analyzing the data of orders in the next three months, we will gather the products of the same model together for production, shortening the delivery cycle and saving production costs." Chen Xianghua said.

　　Full chain, digital docking, and smoother channels.

　　Open the Kaisi auto parts platform, and the accessories such as swing arm, headlight and foot glue are all available. It only takes a few seconds to enter the vehicle identification code and the name of the accessories, and the information such as suppliers, quotations, reference price of 4S shop, warranty and so on can be clearly seen.

　　"In the past, it was inefficient and error-prone to describe the required spare parts by telephone, WeChat, etc., and it was difficult to trace the source of spare parts. If there was a quality problem, it was more difficult to find a supplier’s warranty. Now through platform integration, parts information and procurement process are more transparent. " Chen Zhongli, head of Ningbo Boxingxing Automobile Service Co., Ltd. said.

　　Jiang Yongxing, founder and CEO of Kaisi, introduced that the platform has opened up the whole chain from OEMs, manufacturers, auto parts suppliers, repair shops to vehicles. At present, there are more than 7,000 suppliers providing products and services to 270,000 repair shop users, and the number of service vehicles per month exceeds 3 million. "We have also developed the intelligent identification function of handwritten work orders that are suitable for the maintenance industry, and can recommend procurement plans. Not only that, the big data accumulated by the platform can also be fed back to OEMs and manufacturers in time to help them improve product quality. "

　　In terms of optimizing the circulation environment of auto parts, some enterprises aim at the county market and strive to improve the turnover efficiency of auto parts. "New energy vehicles going to the countryside bring a broad space for the development of the automobile industry, but the traditional county maintenance market still has problems such as few chain stores, incomplete product categories and long procurement logistics cycle." Jiao Shiliang, the brand operation director of Guangdong Santou Six-Arm Information Technology Co., Ltd., an auto parts supply chain platform, introduced that in recent years, enterprises have launched the "Let Love Go Home" project to help migrant workers return to their hometowns to open auto parts stores and provide financial support and technical guidance. At the same time, through the combination of online procurement and pre-warehouse, the distribution efficiency has been greatly improved.

　　The Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Automobile Aftermarket jointly issued by the Ministry of Commerce and other nine departments (hereinafter referred to as the Guiding Opinions) proposes to optimize the circulation environment of automobile parts. Actively expand the distribution channels of auto parts, and build a multi-channel and multi-format auto parts distribution network to meet the diversified needs of consumers for auto aftermarket accessories.

　　"With the rapid development of the Internet and e-commerce, online channels will become a new hot spot in the automotive aftermarket parts industry, bringing new business models and development opportunities. Automobile after-sales parts enterprises should strengthen the construction of online channels, provide more convenient and high-quality services, and create a transparent, orderly and efficient spare parts circulation environment. " Li Tongmei said.

　　Personalized and diversified consumption, the automobile modification market has steadily expanded.

　　In recent years, to meet the personalized, diversified and high-quality consumer demand of car owners, the car modification beauty market has steadily expanded.

　　"Changing the color change film for the car can not only keep the freshness, but also prevent rubbing and protect the paint." In Hefei Fugui Family Automobile Maintenance Center, Anhui Province, Ms. Huang, the owner of the car, took the color card and chose the color of the color-changing film she liked. Bao Weidong, the owner, told reporters that he has been in this business for more than 20 years. In the past, customers came to the store mainly to repair cars. Now young people have a greater demand for car modification and beauty. Invisible car clothes, color-changing films, anti-ultraviolet and anti-glare functional films are all very popular, and the prices range from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan.

　　According to the data, car modification and beauty projects such as film pasting, car body color changing and upgrading car audio equipment account for about 85% of the whole automobile reform market. In the first seven months of 2023, the sales of window film, invisible car clothes and color-changing film of TUHU increased by over 40%, over 100% and over 300% respectively.

　　Zhang Baoquan, Secretary-General of china automobile dealers association Aftermarket Boutique Service Branch, said that in recent years, with the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, automobile modification, automobile beauty and other related products have been personalized and scene-oriented, and products such as body film, interior decoration, massage and ventilation seats and assisted driving have been recognized by users.

　　The Opinions on Further Releasing the Consumption Potential and Promoting the Sustainable Recovery of Consumption issued by the General Office of the State Council proposes to establish and improve the management mechanism of the automobile refitting industry and accelerate the development of the automobile aftermarket.

　　"China’s automobile modification market is still in its infancy and has great development potential, but the modified parts and operations have not yet formed a standardized system, and it needs to be further improved in terms of compliance and standardization." Zhang Baoquan believes that it is necessary to further clarify the scope of modification, improve the standard system and upgrade the industrial chain. It is also necessary to strengthen industry supervision, establish unified standards for safety, quality and service of automobile modification, clarify the standards for pre-sale, in-sale and after-sales services, and intensify efforts to promote implementation.

　　The Guiding Opinions put forward that "by 2025, the scale of the automotive aftermarket will grow steadily, the market structure will be continuously optimized, and the standardization level will be significantly improved". "Comply with the new trend of automobile consumption and promote technological innovation, model innovation and format innovation, and the products and services in the aftermarket will be more abundant to meet the diversified consumption needs of consumers." Li Tongmei said.

[A comprehensive view of the economic situation in the middle of the year] How to realize the stable and healthy development of the property market

　　Since the beginning of this year, affected by many factors, the real estate market in some cities has warmed up, and some cities have shown signs of overheating. Some cities have increased the regulation and supervision of the real estate market due to the city’s policy and precise regulation.

　　Experts believe that in the second half of the year, we should continue to adhere to the positioning of "houses are used for living, not for speculation", not regard real estate as a short-term means to stimulate the economy, fully implement the long-term mechanism of stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations, and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. What are the problems in the real estate market at present? What areas should the real estate market develop steadily and healthily? In response to these problems, the Economic Daily reporter interviewed relevant experts.

　　Continuously standardize market order

　　The long-term mechanism of real estate regulation is constantly developing and improving. Liu Hongyu, director of Tsinghua University Real Estate Research Institute, believes that the policy toolbox of real estate market regulation will be enriched continuously. The regulation and control of the real estate market will comprehensively use a series of means such as land, finance, administrative means, finance and taxation to form a joint force and play a role, and continue to adhere to the positioning of "housing and not speculating".

　　Regulation by administrative means is still an important link to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. In Liu Hongyu’s view, the main responsibility of local governments in real estate regulation should still be further developed. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that cities with poor regulation and control and large market fluctuations should be resolutely held accountable.

　　Yu Xiaofen, vice president of Zhejiang University of Technology, believes that in addition to implementing the main responsibility of the city government, it is also necessary to play the role of supervision and supervision by the provincial government. There are many prefecture-level cities and county-level cities in China. It is not enough to rely solely on the supervision and monitoring of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The role of provincial governments should also be brought into play. For example, Zhejiang Province has established a monitoring system for the prices of new commercial housing and second-hand housing in prefecture-level cities and county-level cities, which has played a good role in housing price monitoring.

　　In terms of land supply, we will speed up the improvement of the working mechanism of "stabilizing land prices", optimize the rules of land auction, and establish an effective review system for enterprises’ land purchase funds. In this regard, Wang Ruimin, an associate researcher at the Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, believes that the land supply in hot cities, especially the proportion of residential land supply, should be increased to ease the contradiction between supply and demand and guide residents’ expectations. Wang Ruimin suggested that in terms of housing supply structure, we should stick to ordinary commercial housing, form commodity housing with different prices and levels, and meet the housing needs of most groups through market-oriented methods. For cities with insufficient land resources, such as Shenzhen, we can promote the urbanization of housing-related public services in neighboring areas through interconnection with infrastructure in neighboring areas to meet the needs of citizens.

　　At the same time, relevant departments will continue to regulate the order of the real estate market, effectively manage intermediaries and other institutions, and resolutely investigate and deal with market chaos. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently said that it will seriously investigate and deal with illegal acts in real estate development, intermediary, property and leasing, purify the market environment and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

　　Strictly investigate the illegal entry of credit funds into the market

　　The illegal entry of credit funds into the property market has become an important factor for the excessive rise in housing prices and will also gather financial risks. Strengthening the financial management of real estate has become a prominent feature of China’s real estate market regulation. In the second half of the year, real estate regulation will firmly grasp the key of real estate finance.

　　For real estate financial management, Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian Finance and part-time researcher of Fudan University Financial Research Institute, believes that to realize the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, finance needs to be clearly positioned, do something different and play its due role appropriately. Financial institutions should strictly implement the regulation policies of the real estate market, especially fully implement the centralized management of real estate loans and the "three lines and four files" financing management requirements of real estate enterprises, curb the blind expansion of real estate enterprises, reduce excessive dependence on financial leverage, and further stabilize the expectations of the real estate market. In the specific work, we should strictly control the risk, comprehensively review the flow of credit funds, and prevent funds from illegally flowing into the real estate market. For real estate enterprises, strengthen the examination and do not provide financing support for unqualified real estate development projects; Do not provide channels or credit guarantees for projects that violate the policies of the real estate industry. For individual users, the operating loans and consumer loans issued need customers to provide proof of use, and strictly prevent the transfer of funds to the real estate market through consumer loans, operating loans, credit card overdrafts, etc.

　　At the same time, Dong Ximiao suggested that financial institutions should further implement the principle of "housing without speculation" and increase support and services for the housing rental market. First, we can cooperate with real estate enterprises to turn the houses for sale into long-term rental sources by signing a lease right transfer agreement, and issue rental loans to tenants who meet the corresponding conditions. Second, it can cooperate with local governments to provide corresponding financial innovative products and services in all aspects of housing rental platform transaction matching and credit evaluation. Third, customers can be provided with financing support by credit card installment, and the handling fee is lower than the service fee charged by the third-party rental platform, and there is no need to pay liquidated damages for early repayment. Commercial banks, in particular, can accelerate their entry into the housing rental market, which can not only promote the development of housing rental finance in the direction of scale and specialization, but also facilitate the formation of a long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　Accelerate the development of affordable rental housing.

　　The development of affordable rental housing is conducive to the steady and healthy development of the real estate market. The local government formulates and announces the construction plan of affordable rental housing and expands the supply of affordable rental housing, which can continuously optimize the urban housing supply structure and provide channels for new citizens, young people and other groups to solve the housing difficulties through leasing; It can stabilize market expectations, reasonably release the demand for house purchase, ease the pressure of rising house prices, and provide strong support for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　On July 22nd, the State Council held a meeting to emphasize that the development of affordable rental housing is the key task of housing construction in the 14th Five-Year Plan. It is necessary to grasp the policy focus of affordable rental housing, clarify the target of protection, focus on housing security for new citizens and young people, and give priority to the housing difficulties of new citizens engaged in basic public services. Adhere to the "basic protection", focus on small units, and pay attention to achieving "job-residence balance". According to the principle of "affordability and sustainability", establish a scientific rent pricing mechanism. According to local conditions, focusing on the net inflow of population into cities, we will implement the main responsibility of cities and accelerate the development of affordable rental housing.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, before the end of October this year, the urban people’s government should determine the objectives and policies and measures for the construction of affordable rental housing in the 14 th Five-Year Plan, formulate an annual construction plan, and announce it to the public. In big cities with many new citizens and young people, high housing prices or rising pressure, during the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the proportion of new affordable rental housing in the total supply of new housing should strive to reach more than 30%.

　　Regarding the development of affordable rental housing, Yan Rong, president of Shanghai Real Estate Research Institute, believes that local governments should take the initiative to do a good job in housing security for new citizens and young people, and give priority to the people with housing difficulties who are engaged in basic public services among new citizens. In terms of strategy, we should adjust measures to local conditions. The city government can make a real assessment of the housing development in this city, understand and master the real demand of affordable rental housing, and insist on proceeding from reality and adhering to goal orientation and problem orientation. It is necessary to coordinate the departments of land, finance, taxation, finance and other professional institutions such as water and electricity to form a sustainable development mechanism to promote affordable rental housing. (Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter Yu Shu)

How is the property market in the second half of the year？ ＂Housing without speculation＂ will remain the main line of policy.

　　According to previous years’ practice, analyzing the current economic situation, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, which will deploy economic work in the second half of the year, is expected to be held in the near future, and what attitude it will make on the regulation of the property market, or set the tone for the market trend in the second half of the year.

　　Some insiders believe that the differentiation characteristics of the domestic real estate market are increasingly obvious, and policy control tends to be strengthened in some areas. It is expected that the policy will adhere to one city and one policy in the third quarter, and some areas may continue to tighten, which will have an inhibitory effect on market transactions in some overpriced cities. Housing enterprises need to flexibly formulate strategies for destocking.

　　Five of the seven meetings involved real estate.

　　Since July 2017, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, with economy as the main topic, has been held seven times. Except for the two meetings on October 31, 2018 and December 13, 2018, the other five meetings made important statements on the real estate market.

　　For example, on July 31, 2018, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party made up his mind to solve the real estate market problem, adhere to the policy of the city, promote the balance between supply and demand, reasonably guide expectations, rectify the market order, and resolutely curb the rise in housing prices. Accelerate the establishment of a long-term mechanism to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　The latest one was April 19th, 2019, when Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party demanded that the house be used for living, not for speculation, and that a long-term regulation mechanism of "one city, one policy, one policy according to the city and the main responsibility of the city government" should be implemented.

　　This is also the second half of 2018, after failing to mention the real estate content twice in a row, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party revisited the slogan of "housing and not speculating". In the industry’s view, this move is also expected.

　　In the first quarter of 2019, due to the expectation of policy relaxation, the actual easing of funds and the actual downward trend of credit interest rates, the real estate market showed a warming state, and the property market "Xiaoyangchun" started to increase, and the wave of land grabbing in hot cities resumed.

　　In this context, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party once again mentioned that housing is not speculation, which shows that he is paying close attention to the warming of hot cities’ markets, breaking the previous expectation that hot cities will relax restrictions on purchases and loans, and also to prevent risks such as rising prices in the real estate market.

　　After Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party set the tone of property market regulation in April this year, the regulation policies of subsequent ministries and local governments followed.

　　Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Zhongyuan Real Estate, said that in the first half of 2019, the national real estate regulation and control policies reached 251 times, up 31% year-on-year compared with 192 times in the first half of 2018.

　　"Real estate regulation and control policies have shown a significant tightening trend since mid-April. In the past two months, real estate has been regulated for nearly 100 times, and the density is at the highest stage in history. " Zhang Dawei said.

　　On the day of Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party (April 19th), according to the requirements of monthly analysis, quarterly evaluation and annual assessment determined by the scheme of long-term real estate mechanism, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gave early warning tips to six cities with large fluctuations in house prices and land prices in the first quarter of 2019.

　　One month later, on May 18th, in order to further implement the main responsibility of the real estate market in regulating cities, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gave early warning tips to Foshan, Suzhou, Dalian and Nanning, four cities where the price index of newly-built commercial housing and second-hand housing has increased greatly in recent three months.

　　The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development requires all localities to resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, always adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, further strengthen market monitoring and analysis, solve problems in market operation in time, and earnestly implement the requirements of stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations to ensure the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　Suzhou, which was warned by the "yellow card" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, upgraded its real estate control measures twice in a row on May 11th and July 24th this year.

　　Why should Suzhou continuously upgrade its regulation? The Supplementary Opinions on Further Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the City’s Real Estate Market issued by Suzhou Municipal People’s Government emphasizes that the regulation and upgrading of the property market is based on "persistence &rsquo; A house is for living, not for speculation &rsquo; Positioning, the implementation of stable land prices, stable housing prices, stable expectations, curb speculative real estate speculation, and reasonably guide market expectations.

　　The one-day tour of Kaifeng property market policy sends a signal to the outside world that regulation will not be relaxed easily. On July 19th, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued a document to adjust the property market sales restriction policy, which was considered as a loose regulation implemented by third-and fourth-tier cities due to the downturn of the property market. However, one day later, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau itself announced the cancellation of the document.

　　On July 20th, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said that due to its decision to "adjust the trading time limit of newly purchased commercial housing and cancel the filing restrictions", it did not conduct sufficient market research and demonstration, and lacked sufficient pre-judgment and evaluation of the possible market impact, so it revoked this decision and withdrew the relevant letter.

　　Suzhou’s upgrading regulation and one-day tour of Kaifeng’s loosening policy have different measures, but the logic behind them tends to be the same: the current property market regulation is easy to tighten but difficult to loosen.

　　Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that Suzhou’s policy overweight is similar to Kaifeng’s policy of loosening restrictions on sales, that is, housing and not speculating is the policy logic in the second half of this year, and there is no possibility of relaxation. Relevant market participants must fully realize the importance of stabilizing the market at present. The introduction of similar policies has also formed good conditions for the subsequent control of investment speculative demand and stable expectations.

　　In the second half of the year, housing enterprises will reduce prices and promote sales?

　　The fluctuation of the real estate market in China is closely related to the policy adjustment, and it also provides a basis for the next policy adjustment.

　　Guo Shiying, an analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, told CBN that if we want to predict the follow-up policy direction, we should first pay attention to the changes in the two major indicators of real estate prices and transaction volume. "Stabilizing land prices, stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations" will still be the main tone of regulation.

　　Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from January to June, the sales area of commercial housing nationwide was 757.86 million square meters, down 1.8% year-on-year, and the decline rate was 0.2 percentage points higher than that in January to May. Among them, the residential sales area decreased by 1.0%. The sales volume of commercial housing was 7,069.8 billion yuan, up by 5.6%, and the growth rate dropped by 0.5 percentage point.

　　In 2018, the national sales area of commercial housing exceeded 1.7 billion square meters, a record high. Even though the sales area in the first half of 2019 decreased by 1.8% year-on-year, the total volume was still at a high level in recent years.

　　On July 15th, Mao Shengyong, director and spokesperson of the National Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the current real estate market is generally stable in terms of housing price, real estate investment, real estate sales, construction area and land transaction. From the next stage, on the one hand, urbanization is still advancing, and there is still a need for improvement, which is a support. On the other hand, the concept of "housing without speculation" is more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts, emphasizing "policy based on the city" and emphasizing the main responsibility of the city government. These two factors are combined, and it is possible to stabilize land prices, house prices and expectations in the real estate market in the next stage.

　　Yan Yuejin said that the first half of this year is an important stage to actively implement the policy of "stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations", and the phenomenon of high housing prices in some cities has also been well curbed. Of course, in the actual process, some supporting houses such as well-occupied school districts still have speculation, and some sales that seem to have reduced prices also have illegal charges. Similar situations require continued strengthening of house price control, especially in the third quarter of this year. The policy is further tightened. For related housing enterprises, they may take the initiative to reduce prices and promote sales in the third quarter.

　　He believes that the policy in the third quarter is mainly tight, which may also have an inhibitory effect on market transactions. Judging from this, the possibility of rising residential inventory will increase, and some housing enterprises also need to flexibly formulate strategies for destocking.

　　Although the overall sales decline has narrowed, which is close to the same period last year, the regional differences in the domestic real estate market have gradually increased. From the sales area of commercial housing, the local property market is uneven, with some doubling (Beijing) and some falling by more than 50% (Hainan).

　　According to the data provided by Zhuge’s housing search, from the perspective of the new housing market, cities at all levels have different performances, with the first line rebounding, the second line stabilizing and the third and fourth lines cooling down. In the first half of 2019, the total transaction volume of commercial housing in three first-tier cities in Beishang and Shenzhen was about 12.54 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 43.89%. The transaction area of second-tier representative cities was about 114.1 million square meters, up 0.71% year-on-year, and the overall transaction scale remained stable. The transaction area of the third-tier representative cities in the first half of the year was about 55.77 million square meters, down 16.07% year-on-year, and the year-on-year decline was the most significant among all cities.

　　In addition to the decline in transactions, the current decline in the real estate market in third-and fourth-tier cities is also reflected in the reduction of land transfer. For some third-and fourth-tier cities that rely heavily on land transfer, the pressure to develop the economy is increasing, and the impulse to adjust the property market regulation policy may become stronger.

　　Guo Shiying said that although the central government has always emphasized "one city, one policy, one policy for each city", the local dominance and the regulation direction of local cities have always been guided by the central goal. Under the guidance of the central goal, cities can fine-tune the current urban policies in order to stabilize the development of the real estate market. As for the types and degrees of policy adjustments, they need to be determined according to the development characteristics of current cities.

＂China Vitality＂ in the data ｜ The export of new energy vehicles reached a new high, with a year-on-year increase of 97.4%.

CCTV News:"China Vitality in Data" series reports that today (September 30th) we will pay attention to the export data of new energy vehicles. According to the data from China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first eight months of this year, 340,000 new energy vehicles were exported, up 97.4% year-on-year, and new energy vehicles are becoming a new business card of China Intelligent Manufacturing.

According to the data released by China Automobile Manufacturers Association recently, this year’s 1-mdash; In August, China exported 1.817 million vehicles, up 52.8% year-on-year. Among them, 340,000 new energy vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of 97.4%, and the contribution rate to the growth of automobile exports reached 26.7%. In 2021, China’s automobile exports reached 2.138 million, surpassing 2 million for the first time, making it the third largest automobile exporter in the world after Japan and Germany.

Some experts in the industry said that in terms of structure, the export of automobile industry is shifting from commercial vehicles to passenger cars represented by new energy vehicles. In addition, in the export area, China’s automobile exports also focus on new energy vehicles, which are mainly from Asia, Africa and Latin America in the past, and are expanding to mainstream markets such as Europe.

Wang Du, Deputy Secretary General of china automobile dealers association:Our current export of new energy vehicles is mainly in the European market. Last year, 49% of our new energy vehicle exports were exported to the European market, and our automobile export situation is very gratifying.

In terms of models, the export models represented by new energy vehicles are more advanced. In the past, they were mostly low-end models, and now many enterprises have begun to cut into the market with high-end cars. In addition, in terms of export strategy, from passive in the past to active now, in addition to local factory building and cross-border brand cooperation, we have also adopted self-built sales channels and customized development of new models through shared technology to open up the international market.

　　　　　　 Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President of China Automobile Industry Association:Different from the past, car companies have built their own marketing channels abroad and continued to build brands, and new energy vehicles have initially achieved a new development pattern of domestic and international double circulation.

The export of new energy vehicles has maintained a good momentum in the first eight months of this year. In September, the export momentum has not diminished, which will drive China’s automobile exports to a new high this year.

On September 13th, in Shanghai, the largest batch of pure electric vehicles in China was shipped at Haitong Wharf and exported to the European market. This time, 10,000 pure electric vehicles of SAIC were exported to the European market.

On September 26th, in Wuhan, the first batch of new energy vehicles of Dongfeng Group went to sea in Norway. At the export ceremony, Norwegian dealers were full of confidence in this new energy vehicle made in China.

Norwegian distributor Sven Arid yangsi Gard:At first glance, the market response (in Norway) is very positive, and consumers are very satisfied with the products.

In Beijing, near the "Eleventh", workers in this bus factory are stepping up production. By the end of October, this factory will have produced a total of 1022 pure electric buses for export to Chile.

Han Dong, Executive Vice President of New Energy Bus Company:This list is a record for the export of pure electric vehicles (buses) in China. The single order is more than 1000 units, which is a high-quality order in the domestic bus industry.

According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, since 2020, despite the impact of the epidemic, China’s automobile exports have generally shown a rapid growth momentum. In 2021, China exported 2.138 million vehicles, which doubled year-on-year, achieving a historic breakthrough. Among them, the export of new energy vehicles exceeded 400,000, a year-on-year increase of nearly three times.

Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President of China Automobile Industry Association:In this process of transformation, China’s innovation, industrial chain construction and market cultivation have reached the forefront of the world. The rapid growth of new energy vehicles (sales volume) in China has also led to a historic breakthrough in China’s automobile export, ending the situation that it has been hovering around 1 million vehicles (export volume) for more than ten years.

　　　　　　 The head of China Automobile Industry Association said that this year, driven by the strong export momentum of new energy vehicles, China’s automobile exports will reach 3 million, reaching a new high, and it is expected to become the second largest automobile exporter in the world.

In the interview, the reporter also noticed that after years of development, the technical level of China’s new energy vehicles has been significantly improved, and the core technologies of key components have reached a higher level. It is the innovation of the whole industry chain that has helped new energy vehicles become a new business card for intelligent manufacturing in China.

The reporter walked into this new energy automobile enterprise in Anhui, and the production line was busy, and the order had been placed for three months. The person in charge of the enterprise told the reporter that the secret of the rapid growth of the sales of new energy vehicles in enterprises lies in persisting in innovation.

Xu Youzhong, Vice President of Automotive Engineering Technology R&D Institute of Automobile Enterprises:Taking research and development as the top priority, we have established 38 technical committees, including a set of forward development process systems with 38 systems and 22 performance dimensions.

In the past 10 years, this company has invested more than 7% of its sales revenue in R&D every year, mastered a number of key core technologies such as the fifth-generation engine with the maximum effective thermal power of 44% and the world’s first gearbox with nine modes of switching, and applied for 18,500 patents. At present, there are nearly 10,000 R&D personnel.

Not only insist on innovation, China new energy automobile enterprises are generally enhancing their product adaptability and building a "global car". The reporter noted that these new energy vehicles exported to Norway have generally developed the trailer hook function to adapt to the cold and snowy scenes in northern Europe. Another batch of vehicles exported to the British market, including the work of changing the left steering wheel to the right steering wheel, invested more than 100 million yuan in adaptive development.

Wang Du, Deputy Secretary General of china automobile dealers association:New energy vehicle is a new business card of intelligent manufacturing in China. We must grasp this window period well. We must be able to form a standard pool with Europe or America, and we can recognize each other’s standards together and compete under the same standard platform.

The person in charge of China Automobile Industry Association said that the high export growth of new energy vehicles in China is the inevitable result of years of industrial accumulation. In the past 10 years, China government’s support policy for the new energy automobile industry has been continuously strengthened, and China automobile enterprises have actively responded to the policy call, and the overall strength of the new energy automobile industry has been continuously improved, which can meet the global diversified market demand in terms of product appearance, quality, R&D and production capacity.

　　　　　　 Fu Bingfeng, Executive Vice President of China Automobile Industry Association:In this round of global automobile transformation to electrification and new energy, we have occupied a commanding height and led the global automobile industry to transform to new energy and electrification.

What brand is Cixi’s royal car？ The research says it’s Tulia brand.

　　This year is 115 years since cars were introduced into China. As a researcher of "The Origin of China Automobile History", Jiang Haicheng has been very busy recently: he will give a speech at a theme forum to commemorate the 115th anniversary of the introduction of automobiles into China. This speech mainly focuses on "Is the Empress Dowager Cixi the first car introduced to China?" It seems to be a simple topic, but it embodies Jiang Haicheng’s efforts for more than ten years.

　　Jiang Haicheng, who has retired for many years, has not lived a long life. He is still busy with his favorite things. Jiang Haicheng first worked in the Beijing Planetarium. After work, his biggest hobby is studying cars. At that time, the information was underdeveloped and there were few cars. Going to the exhibition hall to see cars became his greatest pleasure. In the 1990s, more and more cars began to appear in Beijing, and Jiang Haicheng became more and more fond of cars. He resolutely left the Beijing Planetarium, where he had worked for most of his life, and became an automobile media reporter.

　　As the first batch of automobile media people in Beijing, Jiang Haicheng witnessed the vigorous development of China automobile industry from scratch in the new era. Nevertheless, he is most concerned about the history of automobiles, especially the initial period of automobile development in China.

　　In 2001, he published an article in China Auto News: The "Mystery" Left by Cixi’s Imperial Cars. At that time, the cars that Empress Dowager Cixi took were exhibited in the Summer Palace. About this car, some people say that it was presented to Empress Dowager Cixi by Yuan Shikai as a birthday present in 1897. This car is the second generation product of Mercedes-Benz. Many people naturally think that Empress Dowager Cixi was the first person to own a private car.

　　However, in this "classic car", Jiang Haicheng did not see the logo of Mercedes-Benz, but saw a logo printed with "DURYEA" on an iron pedal. What brand is this car? When was it produced? When was it introduced into China? Jiang Haicheng raised many questions about this car.

　　He began to look for answers one by one. To this end, he found the source of the statement that "the vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz second-generation car": Wang Huapeng, editor of "The Encyclopedia of China: History of Chinese Cars". Wang Huapeng, a former director of the Automobile Research Office of the Academy of Communications, told Jiang Haicheng that he made that statement out of speculation after inspecting the car in 1979. Moreover, Wang Huapeng later went to Germany to visit the Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz Museum, and found no cars with similar styles and models as Cixi’s royal cars. At this time, Jiang Haicheng basically came to a conclusion that the classic car of Empress Dowager Cixi was not a Mercedes-Benz car, but a Tulia car.

　　However, in a few years, it became popular that the royal car of Empress Dowager Cixi was a Mercedes-Benz brand, and it was also said that this car was customized by Yuan Shikai through the German Embassy.

　　Jiang Haicheng once again began his "rebuttal" journey. In 2005, Jiang Haicheng learned that the Ford Museum in the United States had materials of Tulia cars, and he contacted the representative of Ford Motor Company in China, hoping to find relevant materials of Cixi’s royal cars. Before long, Jiang Haicheng received a reply: In 1896, Tulia Company assembled 13 cars with the same design as Empress Dowager Cixi’s royal car, which was the third generation car of Tulia. The car used by Empress Dowager Cixi was the only survivor among the 13 cars.

　　Jiang Haicheng was delighted with it, and the good news kept coming. In 2013, Mercedes-Benz held a commemorative event in Beijing to commemorate the centenary of Mercedes-Benz’s visit to China. This activity originated from a historical fact: in 1913, German businessman Franz Oster brought the first Mercedes 10/25 RS station wagon to China for the first time. This also indirectly proves once again that the royal car of Empress Dowager Cixi is not a Mercedes-Benz brand. Jiang Haicheng added that in 1897, Mercedes-Benz customized a car for Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. On that car, the words Mercedes-Benz brand and Victoria were marked, while Cixi’s royal car did not have similar words.

　　Based on these data, Jiang Haicheng believes that Cixi’s royal car has reached a conclusion for the Tulia brand. With the determination of the brand, the time when Cixi came to the Summer Palace by car also came to a conclusion: the car arrived in the Summer Palace in 1902, not in 1897. In 1897, faced with the threat of reform forces, Empress Dowager Cixi had no intention of holding a birthday celebration. Moreover, in the trade environment at that time, cars produced in the United States in 1896 would not have spread to China so quickly. According to historical records, in 1902 after the Gengzi Incident, Empress Dowager Cixi rebuilt the Summer Palace and held her 68th birthday in the Summer Palace. At this time, Yuan Shikai had a chance to get on the bus. However, by 1902, this car of Empress Dowager Cixi was not the first car introduced to China. In December 1901, LINZ, a Hungarian businessman, transported two American-made "Osmo Bill" cars to the Shanghai Public Concession. On January 30, 1902, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce granted him a "temporary license" to drive on the streets, which was the first time that a car appeared in China.

　　The debate that lasted for more than ten years finally came to the bottom. In his latest speech, Jiang Haicheng systematically demonstrated from eight aspects that the imperial car of Empress Dowager Cixi was not "the first car introduced into China". Looking back on these years’ efforts, Jiang Haicheng sighed and said softly and firmly, "I finally handed in a valid answer sheet when the car was introduced to China for 115 years."

　　Jiang Haicheng told reporters that during the research, he wrote to Mr. Dan Jixiang, president of the Palace Museum, and Mr. Li Guorong, deputy director of the First Historical Archives of China, hoping that they could help him find the old photos of Empress Dowager Cixi and the car. The two gentlemen tried their best to find no relevant pictures, and they specially wrote back to Jiang Haicheng to express their apologies, which made Jiang Haicheng feel extremely warm. Jiang Haicheng also hopes to seek relevant pictures from readers through Beijing Evening News to enrich the research results. Jiang baojun

The pace of recovery in the real estate market accelerated in the third quarter, and the rebound signal weakened in the fourth quarter.

　　In the third quarter, the pace of recovery of the national real estate market accelerated, and the transaction volume and transaction price of commercial housing in key cities made a smooth transition. At the same time, the regulatory policies in the industry have been continuously introduced, especially for the continuous implementation of the "three red lines" fund regulatory policies for real estate enterprises. The industry expects that the differentiation within the industry will intensify in the fourth quarter, and the phenomenon of price-for-quantity exchange will further increase.

　　The overall recovery of the residential market accelerated in the third quarter.

　　Recently, the sales data of commercial housing in 40 monitored cities in China released by Yihan think tank shows that the sales area of commercial housing in 40 cities in September was 24.58 million square meters, up from the same period last year, accounting for 12.4% and 2.3% respectively, and the transaction volume increased steadily.

　　According to the analysis of Yihan think tank, on the whole, the residential market in the monitored cities achieved positive growth in September compared with the previous month, and the market heat recovered slightly compared with August. Combined with the industry policy, it is expected that the overall performance of the residential market will be relatively stable throughout the year, and it is difficult to have large fluctuations, and more is the self-adjustment of the market.

　　"Golden September and Silver 10" is considered as the traditional performance development period of real estate enterprises. From January to September, 2020, the performance of real estate enterprises in each echelon has a greater impact, and the sales performance of real estate enterprises in different echelons has achieved different degrees of growth. Among them, the performance threshold of TOP50 housing enterprises has the highest increase, reaching 15%.

　　It is worth noting that in the third quarter, the pace of recovery of the commercial housing market in key cities accelerated. According to the statistics of China Index Academy, in the third quarter, the overall transaction scale of commercial housing in 100 cities nationwide reached the highest level since 2017, with a year-on-year increase of about 10%, especially in July-August, driven by the continuous active push of real estate enterprises, the effect of superposition policy has not yet been obvious, the enthusiasm for demand release remained high, the off-season effect was obviously weakened, and the transaction scale continued to the high level in June.

　　In September, on the one hand, the demand gradually stabilized after a sustained and rapid release in the previous months; On the other hand, the continuous tightening of property market regulation has further weakened the enthusiasm for demand release. According to preliminary estimates, the year-on-year growth rate of commercial housing transactions in 50 key cities in September has narrowed sharply to around 4%, and the absolute scale has dropped from June to August.

　　In terms of housing prices, the prices of new residential buildings in 100 cities nationwide rose steadily in September, and the cumulative increase in the third quarter was larger than that in the same period last year. According to the survey data of 100 cities in China by the Central Reference Institute, in September, the average price of new residential buildings in 100 cities was 15,643 yuan/square meter, up 0.24% from the previous month, and the increase rate was within 0.6% for 39 consecutive months.

　　Since July this year, the tightening trend of real estate regulation and control policies has been obvious, and many places have been regulated and upgraded. Buyers’ home ownership sentiment has become more rational and market expectations have become more stable. In the first three quarters, the price of new residential buildings in Baicheng increased by 2.46%, which was 0.08 percentage point lower than that in the same period of last year, and increased by 1.18% in the third quarter, which was slightly larger than that in the second quarter and the same period of last year.

　　In view of the overall situation of the real estate market in the third quarter, the analysis of the Central Reference Institute pointed out that during the period, driven by the active promotion of housing enterprises, the transaction still maintained a good momentum, the off-season effect of the market was obviously weakened, the transaction scale of commercial housing in key cities increased rapidly, and the price of new housing also rose steadily; At the same time, some unstable expectations are gradually accumulating in hot cities.

　　Tightening control policies and increasing cities.

　　In September, several local cities issued regulation policies to regulate the real estate market in terms of purchase restriction, loan restriction and sales restriction, including Dongguan, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Changzhou and Chengdu. On the whole, the regulation policies of cities are generally adjusted moderately on the basis of previous policies; The overall performance is based on the policy of the city, focusing on stability to prevent large fluctuations in the market; Adhere to the policy tone of "the house is for living, not for speculation".

　　In fact, since July, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shenzhen and other cities have tightened their control policies. Local policies have guaranteed income and stabilized the expectations of the real estate market from different aspects. Judging from the content of regulation, while strengthening market supervision, the policies issued by various localities also clarify the policy orientation of high-level talents and families without houses giving priority to buying houses, focusing more on ensuring the housing needs of just-needed groups and curbing investment speculation demand.

　　However, compared with the loose monetary environment in the first half of the year and the introduction of real estate support policies in many places, the regulation and control policies of real estate on industry fund supervision in the third quarter have turned. The central government has held many meetings to emphasize that the orientation of "housing and not speculating" will remain unchanged, and real estate will not be used as a short-term means to stimulate the economy, and regulatory measures will be deployed from various aspects. The regulatory authorities set up "three red lines" to limit the financing of real estate enterprises, prevent and resolve real estate financial risks, and promote the healthy development of the industry.

　　Based on this, the real estate market is expected to stabilize in the third quarter, and the prices of new and second-hand houses have risen steadily as a whole. Especially since September, the regulatory policies have gradually become effective, and the demand has been attributed to rationality; Under the strong financial supervision, housing enterprises are more cautious in taking land, and the heat of the land market has declined.

　　Yihan’s analysis pointed out that from the recent frequent policies, the general tightening of the financing environment has also brought some pressure to the financing of housing enterprises. However, large and medium-sized housing enterprises can obtain large-scale financing inflows in the capital market by virtue of their high solvency and credit rating; Small and medium-sized housing enterprises are limited in scale. Without the background of state-owned enterprises, the financing threshold of companies is greatly improved and the financing pressure is greater.

　　The agency believes that for the real estate industry, the government’s increased supervision of funds in the real estate industry is conducive to maintaining the stable operation of the industry and avoiding overheating in the market; On the other hand, it is conducive to accelerating industry integration, realizing the strong and staying strong, and avoiding the phenomenon that bad money drives out good money.

　　In the industry’s view, no matter the uncertainty of the external environment increases or the impact of the internal epidemic, the bottom line of the real estate industry’s regulation of "staying and not speculating" has not wavered. From the starting point of the policy, the purpose of strict capital supervision is also to make the development of the real estate industry more controllable and under strong control.

　　Industry differentiation will further intensify in the fourth quarter.

　　Based on the market situation since the beginning of this year, the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic at the beginning of this year once blocked the sales of housing enterprises. However, as of the end of September, the sales of real estate enterprises have returned to the same period last year, and most real estate enterprises have shown a year-on-year upward trend.

　　According to the recent sales performance data of typical real estate enterprises in Yihan think tank, the sales level of typical real estate enterprises in the first three quarters showed strong resilience. Only six of the TOP30 housing enterprises saw a year-on-year decline in sales in the first three quarters, and the rest all increased compared with the same period last year.

　　At the same time, with the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the target completion of key housing enterprises still needs to be improved. By the end of September 2020, the completion rate of sales performance target of typical real estate enterprises was 70%. Among the 30 typical housing enterprises, half of the target completion is still less than 70%. This means that the performance pressure of housing enterprises in the fourth quarter is still not small.

　　In view of the market trend in the fourth quarter, the Central Reference Institute analyzed and predicted that the pilot of the new regulations of "three red lines" for capital supervision in the industry will be gradually implemented, and some real estate enterprises will take the form of concession promotion to grab back the money. It is expected that the improvement of supply will continue to support the transaction volume to maintain a certain scale, but considering that the central and hot cities will continue to adhere to strict regulation and control, and there is still the possibility of repeated local epidemics in autumn and winter, the transaction scale of commercial housing in key cities in the fourth quarter will remain relatively stable at the existing level.

　　Shen Xin, a researcher at Yiju Research Institute, pointed out that since the second half of the year, the regulatory policies of hot cities and financial policies have been constantly tightening, indicating that the bottom line of the central government’s "housing and not speculating" will not change.

　　Shen Xin further analyzed and pointed out that Evergrande took the lead in opening the "30% discount on national real estate" in early September, which started the first shot of property market promotion. Since then, Country Garden, Greenland, Vanke and other housing enterprises have also started different degrees of promotion activities. It is expected that under the pressure of "three red lines", more real estate enterprises will join the promotion ranks in the fourth quarter to promote the return of funds by exchanging price for quantity.

　　This year, in the context of the slowdown in industry growth, the performance of the top 100 housing companies also showed differences due to the impact of the epidemic. Under the current market environment, the concentration of housing enterprises in various echelons continues the differentiation pattern, and the competitive advantages of large-scale housing enterprises are prominent, while the sales of small and medium-sized housing enterprises are still facing greater growth pressure.

　　Kerry Real Estate Research Center pointed out that in the fourth quarter, on the one hand, housing enterprises entered the performance sprint season, and the market supply accelerated, which will drive the transaction to increase. At the same time, the fundamentals that the industry as a whole is still under pressure have not improved significantly. The trial of the new regulations of "three red lines" will force housing enterprises to speed up the improvement of operational management and control efficiency. This also means that the fourth quarter will intensify the differentiation pattern of the real estate industry and promote the acceleration of concentration. (Reporter Gao Wei reports from Beijing)

Trump is addicted to the ball again, and this time he was caught by the White House.

While the anger caused by "Freud’s death" in the United States is burning all over the United States, several data of COVID-19 epidemic have "hit a new high". At this juncture, Trump turned out to be "addicted" to golf and "committed". But this time, with the intervention of the White House, he failed to get what he wanted.
According to the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on the 7th, it was learned from two people familiar with the decision of the White House that Trump had planned to spend the weekend at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. However, the White House directly "shot" a few days ago and changed the itinerary, which led to the cancellation of the trip to Bedminster.
According to people familiar with the matter, the decision of the White House is largely because Trump went to his private club to play golf when the fire of demonstrations in the United States was "burning"."The public influence may be bad."（the potential for “bad optics”）。

It is worth mentioning that "bad optics" is a special term in business and political circles. YourDictionary, a popular American dictionary website, also began to "smuggle goods": the example of "optics" was replaced by "a politician who beat Goff during a demonstration in his own country is an example of" bad public influence ". Because the dictionary website is connected to the Google search engine, it searches for "bad optics" in Google.This example will appear on the home page..

According to NBC, Trump’s original plan was to go directly to New Jersey after visiting the swab factory in Maine on Friday (5th) and spend a "working weekend" there.
According to USA-Today, during this trip to Maine, Trump still refused to wear masks and other protective equipment when he visited the swab factory. The workers on the production line were "armed to the feet". Trump not only passed in front of them, but also stopped to talk with some workers.
Afterwards, the marketing manager of the company said in an interview that all the swabs produced by the factory during Trump’s visit that day would be discarded.
Trump finally agreed with the White House advisers and canceled his trip to New Jersey. NBC quoted people familiar with the president’s decision-making as saying that thousands of demonstrators continued to protest in front of the White House on Saturday, so the original plan may "cause problems". NBC reported that if this trip can take place, it will be Trump’s visit to his golf club again after a lapse of five months since last August.
It is reported that,Trump has put Bedminster on the agenda again.According to the current schedule, he will spend at least one day there next weekend to hold a live fundraising event for the presidential election. However, the report did not say whether Trump will play golf in Bedminster next week.
Although Trump said that he would not have time to play golf before the 16-year general election, he repeatedly reneged after his election. CNN reported that on May 23rd, when the death toll from COVID-19 in the United States was approaching 100,000, President Trump was photographed playing golf at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

The Huffin Post said on April 23 that American taxpayers are often angry at Trump’s frequent visits to his private golf course. According to an analysis of the newspaper, as of February, Trump spent a total of $133.8 million on his golf trip, equivalent to his salary of 334 years.
The "Black Bloody Case" has triggered the 12th day of protests and demonstrations in the United States. The Hill said that the number of protesters in all parts of the United States reached record levels this Saturday. The main roads of Philadelphia, the entrance of the White House in Washington, D.C., and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are crowded with demonstrators. The newspaper said that at present, the number of newly confirmed cases in 23 States in the United States is increasing every week, and in the past four days, many States have set a record for newly confirmed cases since the outbreak.
According to NBC, after Trump’s trip was cancelled this weekend, there are no specific arrangements, and the White House has not received a notice that Trump will appear before the end of this week. The protest in front of the White House has reached the ninth day, and thousands of demonstrators are still walking on the streets of Washington, DC.
