On behalf of the Liaoning Provincial People’s Government, Governor Li Lecheng reported his work to the General Assembly.

  When reviewing the government work in the past year, Li Le Cheng said that the year 2022 just passed was extremely extraordinary. The victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China greatly encouraged and inspired the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to forge ahead in a new journey and build a new era. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Liaoning in person, and all the way was full of enthusiasm, careful guidance and encouragement, encouraging us to show greater responsibility and achievements in the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era and strive to create a new situation for the revitalization and development of Liaoning. The cadres and the masses in the province are greatly encouraged and have high morale. They deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishments", resolutely carry forward the great spirit of party building, and gather the majestic power of the new era of meritorious service.

  Li Le Cheng said: Over the past year, under the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, we have fully implemented the 19th and 19th plenary sessions of the Party and the spirit of the 20th Party Congress. Under the leadership of the provincial party committee, we have adhered to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, fully implemented the new development concept, actively served and integrated into the new development pattern, solidly promoted high-quality development, and resolutely implemented the requirements of preventing epidemics, stabilizing the economy and ensuring safe development. Effectively coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, adhere to the people first, life first, scientifically and accurately do a good job in normalized epidemic prevention and control, quickly put out many aggregated and sporadic epidemics, optimize and adjust epidemic prevention and control measures according to the situation, effectively protect people’s life safety and health, and effectively ensure that the province’s economy will stabilize, the quality of development will be steadily improved, and the overall social situation will be harmonious and stable.

  Li Le Cheng said that after the unremitting efforts of the people in the province, the economy has continued to stabilize and improve, the construction of major projects has shown a rare good situation for many years, the new kinetic energy has been accelerated, the business environment has been significantly improved, and the development expectations have continued to improve. The confidence of the broad masses of cadres and people in promoting revitalization and development has become more firm, their spirit has become more high, and their motivation has become stronger. Liaoning’s comprehensive revitalization and all-round revitalization have shown a brighter prospect.

  Li Le Cheng said that 2022 is the closing year of the current government. In the past five years, in the face of the complicated international situation and arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, we have unswervingly implemented the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the work requirements of the provincial party committee, maintained strategic strength, withstood the pain of transformation, got rid of path dependence, paid attention to development taste, dared to struggle, never "detoured", won the tough battle against poverty as scheduled, and built a well-off society in an all-round way with the whole country. Liaoning has stepped out of the most difficult period for many years, and promoted all-round revitalization to embark on a new journey of high-quality development.

  Li Le Cheng said that the next five years will be a crucial period for building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, and also an important period for promoting Liaoning’s all-round revitalization with Chinese modernization. We firmly believe that with the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader at the helm, the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the solid foundation laid by the revitalization and development in recent years, the good political ecology that has been continuously improved, and the high consciousness of the people of the whole province looking forward to revitalization, striving for revitalization and promoting revitalization, we are confident, ambitious and emboldened to write a chapter on building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and show greater responsibility and achievements in the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era.

  The goals of government work in the next five years are: to fully complete the goals set by the 13th Party Congress and the 14th Five-Year Plan, to achieve a new leap in high-quality economic development, to significantly improve the ability of self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology, to build a regional scientific and technological innovation center with national influence, to make great strides in structural adjustment, and to achieve remarkable results in building a digital Liaoning and a strong province with intelligence; New steps have been taken in reform and opening up, the rule of law environment has improved significantly, and the business environment has improved fundamentally; Significant progress has been made in the construction of "one belt, two districts", the urban and rural living environment has been significantly improved, and the construction of beautiful Liaoning has achieved remarkable results; The level of equalization of basic public services has been significantly improved, the multi-level social security system has been improved, common prosperity has been solidly promoted, the social governance system has been improved, the overall social situation has remained safe and stable, and the ability to safeguard the country’s "five major security" has been significantly improved, forming a strong support for the country’s major strategies and laying a solid foundation for basically realizing modernization in 2035.

  The first task of government work in the next five years is to implement the three-year action of comprehensive revitalization and new breakthrough with high quality. This is a major decision made by the provincial party Committee during the critical period of revitalization and development, a strategic measure to implement the spirit of the important instructions of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and show greater responsibility and action, an inherent requirement to promote high-quality development, a practical carrier to strive for the first place, and a realistic need to meet the expectations of the masses. The implementation of the three-year action of comprehensively revitalizing the new breakthrough focuses on implementation and action. We should unite and work hard, so that the economic growth will catch up with the national level this year, surpass the national level next year, complete the "14th Five-Year Plan" target as scheduled in the third year, and resolutely fight the "Liaoning-Shenyang Campaign" to revitalize Northeast China and Liaoning in the new era.

  This year is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the crucial year to implement the "14th Five-Year Plan", and the first year to implement the three-year action of comprehensive revitalization and new breakthrough. It is very important to do this year’s work well.

  Li Le Cheng said that the main expected goals of the province’s economic and social development this year are: the regional GDP will increase by more than 5%; General public budget revenue increased by about 5%; The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by about 6%; Investment in fixed assets increased by more than 10%; The total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by about 7%; The total import and export volume increased by about 6%; There are about 450,000 new jobs in cities and towns, and the urban survey unemployment rate is controlled at about 5.5%; Consumer prices rose by about 3%; Residents’ income growth is basically synchronized with economic growth; The grain output is over 48 billion Jin; Energy consumption per unit area GDP is reduced by about 2%.

  Subsequently, Li Lecheng reported the key tasks of the government in 2023 from ten aspects: fully promoting the overall improvement of economic operation; Fully consolidate the support of educational science and technology talents; Make every effort to build a digital Liaoning and a strong intellectual province; Fully promote rural revitalization; Make every effort to deepen reform in key areas; Fully expand high-level opening up; Make every effort to build a new pattern of regional coordinated development; Make every effort to build beautiful Liaoning; Fully protect and improve people’s livelihood; Make every effort to maintain the overall social stability.

  Li Le Cheng said that in the face of the new historical mission, the government system should comprehensively strengthen the government’s own construction, profoundly understand the decisive significance of the "two establishment", enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenance", and must faithfully perform their duties, administer according to law, work hard, keep in mind the "three musts", carry out in-depth activities of party member cadres going to the grassroots and entering enterprises, and constantly improve administrative efficiency and We will continue to loosen the burden on the grassroots, exchange the government’s "integrity index" and "diligence index" for the people’s "satisfaction index" and "happiness index", accelerate the modernization of the government’s governance system and governance capacity, and strive to build a service-oriented government that the people are satisfied with.

  Finally, Li Lecheng said that in the new era and new journey, only struggle can achieve a new breakthrough in all-round revitalization. Let’s unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core. Under the leadership of the provincial party committee, we should be confident and self-reliant, work hard, forge ahead courageously, accelerate the all-round revitalization of Liaoning, and strive to write a brilliant chapter of Liaoning in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way!

Developed in China, the speed is 620 kilometers per hour! When will the dream of "flying close to the ground" come true?

  Our reporters Wang Di and Wu Xiaoying.
  If the wheels of the train are removed, let it gallop along the track more than ten millimeters above, and it can still run 620 kilometers per hour, and even one day it will exceed the speed of the plane … … Is this still our usual "train"?
  This is the maglev train, which has been around for many years, but still makes people feel mysterious, and it may trigger a revolution in future transportation modes.
  Recently, a high-speed maglev prototype car unveiled in Chengdu, Sichuan, once again aroused people’s attention to this sci-fi vehicle.
  On January 13th, the world’s first high-temperature superconducting high-speed maglev engineering prototype and test line independently developed, designed and manufactured by China was officially opened in Southwest Jiaotong University. This prototype car with all-carbon fiber and streamlined head is designed with a speed of 620 kilometers per hour, which is expected to create a new record of land traffic speed in atmospheric environment.
  Compared with other magnetic levitation technologies, HTS magnetic levitation technology is especially suitable for future vacuum tube (tunnel) transportation, and the theoretically predicted speed can be higher than 1000 km/h. Considering that the flight speed of a passenger airliner is about 900 km/h, this speed can be called "flying on the ground".
  "Cars, airplanes and modern ships are not original Chinese. Including the high-speed rail that we are leading the world now, it is also from the introduction, digestion, absorption and re-creation, from running to leading. But once our technology is successful, it is completely original by Chinese. It will become a subversive mode of transportation, filling the speed gap between land traffic and air traffic. " He Chuan, member of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Education and vice president of Southwest Jiaotong University, commented on the significance of this prototype and test line.

High temperature superconducting maglev train has "unique skills"

  Magnetic levitation is a new technology that suspends objects completely by magnetic field. Suction (or repulsion) can not only counteract gravity and make the object suspended, but also firmly lock the object in a specific position and maintain stability.
  In order to help the public understand the working principle of maglev train more intuitively, Professor Deng Zigang, deputy director of the research center of ultra-high-speed vacuum pipeline maglev transportation in Southwest Jiaotong University, made an experiment on the track of high-speed maglev prototype vehicle. He lifted a rectangular aluminum plate with both hands and threw it above the permanent magnet track. As a result, the aluminum plate did not directly hit the track: it first fell, then "floated" at a very close position to the track, and slid along the track for a short distance before landing, as light as a feather.
  Deng Zigang told reporters that because the aluminum plate has resistance, the current will decay, and this aluminum plate will eventually fall on the track. If the aluminum plate is replaced by superconductor, that is, a conductor whose resistance becomes zero at a certain temperature, it can be suspended for a long time.
  Maglev trains can be suspended by three principles, namely, electromagnetic levitation (EMS), electric levitation (EDS) and high temperature superconducting levitation (HTS). The electromagnetic levitation principle appeared earlier than the HTS levitation principle, which was put forward after the discovery of HTS materials in the late 1980s. Trains based on the principle of electromagnetic levitation have been commercially used in low-speed and high-speed regions, but high-temperature superconducting levitation has not yet entered the commercial market.
  At home and abroad, people have used the first two principles to build a maglev prototype with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
  In 2015, Japan’s low-temperature superconducting magnetic levitation central Shinkansen set a new world record of 603 kilometers per hour, which attracted widespread attention.
  In 2019, the China 600 km/h high-speed electromagnetic levitation test prototype rolled off the assembly line in Qingdao, marking a major breakthrough in the field of high-speed magnetic levitation technology in China.
  Professor Zhang Weihua, chief scientist of Southwest Jiaotong University’s research center for ultra-high-speed vacuum pipeline maglev transportation, believes that HTS levitation technology has its own unique advantages.
  First, the operating cost is low. The so-called "high temperature" refers to MINUS 196 degrees Celsius, which is significantly higher than the corresponding temperature requirement of low-temperature superconductors (MINUS 269 degrees Celsius), which means that suspension can be realized in a more economical way. "Japan’s low-temperature superconducting magnetic levitation technology requires MINUS 269 degrees Celsius and needs to be cooled by liquid helium, which is a scarce resource all over the world. However, high-temperature superconducting magnetic levitation can use liquid nitrogen. 78% of the air is nitrogen, and the cost of liquid nitrogen is lower than that of mineral water. " Zhang Weihua said.
  Second, the system is simpler. Similarly, taking the low-temperature superconducting maglev vehicle in Japan as a reference, it needs to be accelerated to a certain speed before it can levitate, and the high-temperature superconducting technology can realize the static levitation of the train, thus eliminating the complicated starting system.
  According to the project team of Southwest Jiaotong University, HTS levitation technology has another important advantage, that is, it has completely independent intellectual property rights.
  "Once our technology is successful, it is completely original by Chinese. From basic research to basic application, from practical technology to industrialization, Chinese is doing it." He Chuan said.
  It is worth mentioning that no matter which technical route is adopted, compared with other modes of transportation, maglev trains have many common advantages, including low maintenance cost, high safety and less environmental pollution.
  Because there is no wheel-rail contact, the train does not need wheel-rail, gearbox, bearings and other parts, so the loss of maglev train is much better than that of high-speed rail, and it will not be delayed because of rain and snow;
  Because the force of the magnetic field can keep the train stable in the horizontal and vertical directions, and the maglev train adopts the structural form of "rail holding the car" or "car holding the rail", the possibility of derailment of the maglev train is greatly reduced; Without the noise of wheel and rail, the train can run more quietly.
  However, under the existing technical conditions, realizing the commercialization of maglev trains still faces no small challenge, mainly due to the high construction cost and low return rate. Globally, only China, Japan and South Korea have commercial maglev trains in operation.

Due to lack of funds, progress was slow for a time.

  In Deng Zigang’s view, the greatest achievement of his team in the past 20 years is to greatly improve the suspension load performance of HTS technology. Suspension load performance refers to how much suspension force can be generated per unit area.
  At the end of 2000, Wang Jiasu of Southwest Jiaotong University and the research team of Wang Suyu developed the world’s first manned HTS maglev experimental vehicle "Century". At present, the suspension performance of this car has been improved by 6-7 times through optimization research.
  "To improve the levitation performance, it is necessary to first study the mechanism of the vehicle-mounted high-temperature superconductor and permanent magnet orbit, which is a systematic research work. With the research conclusions as a guide, the specific implementation process is like a jigsaw puzzle. " Deng Zigang said.
  The common size of superconducting bulk is very small, because the larger it is, the higher the requirements for the process are. Researchers need to choose the shape of superconducting blocks, such as round, square or regular hexagon, and then study how to arrange and place them, and strive to combine them into larger blocks with the smallest gap to maximize the performance of each superconductor.
  The design of magnetic track faces similar problems. Deng Zigang revealed, "At present, the 1-meter-long track is made up of 90 sections of small magnets." They have to figure out how to arrange the magnets and realize the maximum magnetic field performance with the minimum cost.
  The early orbital magnetic field was symmetrically distributed up and down, which meant that half of the magnetic field below the orbit was wasted. After continuous simulation optimization and experiments, now Deng Zigang’s team can make more than 90% of the permanent magnet magnetic field gather above the orbit and play a key role.
  There are also some challenges from outside technology, such as raising R&D funds. Deng Zigang admits that because he has not won tens of millions of yuan to invest in the construction of the experimental line, "the research progress has been very slow in the past 10 years." He was very anxious to see that Brazil and other countries had built a small-capacity and short-distance test line for high-temperature superconducting magnetic levitation according to similar technologies.
  In 2012, in order to support the development of the original HTS maglev technology in China, Professor Zhang Weihua, director of the State Key Laboratory of Traction Power of Southwest Jiaotong University, allocated a special fund of 1 million yuan to the HTS maglev research team, and finally built a 45-meter-long circular experimental line.
  "It can be said that it has opened up a new world, brought this technology back to life, and let the outside world see the high-temperature superconducting magnetic levitation technology again." Deng Zigang said.

Realized "floating" and "moving"

  The official opening of the world’s first high-temperature superconducting high-speed maglev engineering prototype car and test line on January 13th is another milestone. This project is jointly researched and developed by Southwest Jiaotong University, CRRC, China Railway and other units. It is an important step for China to promote HTS maglev technology out of the laboratory, which can verify the reliability of high-speed and long-term operation of HTS maglev trains.
  Deng Zigang commented on this, "The prototype and test line with a scale of 1: 1 are necessary to study all key technologies. If there is no engineering prototype and test line, there is no way to move towards real engineering application. "
  This 165-meter test line is just the beginning.
  "Our current test line has achieved ‘ Float up ’ ‘ Move ’ Two goals, but to achieve ‘ Run ’ The goal is to carry out a 600-kilometer real vehicle test on a long-distance test line and complete the final verification before the HTS high-speed maglev train is put into civilian use. " Jin Zhaohui, project leader, vice president of Chengdu Southwest Jiaotong University Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. and dean of Kunming Branch, said.

How long will it take to run?

  The development speed of high-speed rail technology in China attracts worldwide attention. In just a few decades, China has never had an inch of high-speed railway, but has developed into a high-speed railway with the longest operating mileage in the world. The technology of high-speed railway, plateau, cold and heavy-haul railway in China has reached the world leading level.
  Today, China is trying to achieve similar success in magnetic levitation technology. Gou Jinsong, general manager of the Maglev Engineering Division of Beijing Rail Transit Technology and Equipment Group Co., Ltd., once wrote that China, Japan, Germany, the United States and South Korea are the five countries with the most patents on maglev train technology in the world. According to the statistics he completed on November 26th, 2017, the number of patents for maglev trains in China has accounted for 27.11% of the world.
  China is also one of the most active countries to promote the landing of magnetic levitation technology. Shanghai maglev train, which was opened to traffic in 2002, became the first commercial high-speed maglev train line in the world. Shanghai maglev train adopts electromagnetic levitation, and Qingdao high-speed electromagnetic levitation test prototype with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour is the result of further optimization on the basis of Shanghai maglev train technology. In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Outline of Building a Powerful Traffic Country, which clearly put forward the reasonable overall arrangement of research and development of technical reserves such as high-speed magnetic levitation system with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour and high-speed trains with low vacuum tubes (tunnels). In 2020, Yunnan and Zhejiang provinces announced plans to invest more than 100 billion yuan to build high-speed maglev trains.
  Jin Zhaohui believes that China has the foundation for building a high-speed maglev test line and landing the industry. First of all, the civil engineering technology of HTS maglev train is very close to the existing high-speed rail technology, and the forms of bridge, tunnel and subgrade are very similar. The main change is to change the rail into a magnetic track with a linear motor in the middle. The advantage of this is that it can make the civil engineering technology have a high maturity, and it can also make use of the existing mature industrial chain. Therefore, the civil engineering technology is fully qualified for construction.
  Secondly, China is rich in rare earth resources. If it is applied to HTS maglev line, it will be enough to support track construction, so the magnetic track also has the conditions for construction, production and industrial landing.
  Thirdly, many domestic units can prepare HTS bulk materials, but due to the small demand, mass production has not been realized for the time being. If engineering application is realized, mass production can be realized in a short time driven by the market.
  Fourthly, other technologies, such as linear motor, train control technology and safety management technology, all of which are supported by mature technology and complete industrial chain in China. Therefore, China has the foundation to build a high-speed test line and follow-up industries in the high-speed superconducting maglev train.
  Jin Zhaohui believes that the technology of HTS high-speed maglev train is basically mature, and it is suitable for various environments and terrains including mountainous areas, especially for tourist tracks or intercity high-speed railways. At present, the urgent task is to build a long-distance test line in combination with application scenarios, complete the verification of system integration, and get through the last stage of commercial use.
  In addition, when the construction starts, it is necessary to further reduce the construction cost. In civil engineering, the civil engineering cost will be lower than the existing high-speed rail model because of the lighter train, smaller size and uniform load. However, the new products such as linear motor and magnetic track have not been used in large-scale applications before, and the cost is still high. The R&D team also needs to work hard to reduce the construction cost and make the HTS high-speed maglev technology more competitive.
  Regarding the timetable for the commercialization of HTS high-speed maglev trains, He Chuan predicted that "if the state supports the construction of long-distance test lines, it will be as short as two or three years and as long as five or six years, I am fully confident."

A number of chemical industrial zones in Jiangsu were exposed to pollution, dug 30 meters underground and buried underground pipes to discharge pollutants.

  The picture shows a pond photographed in the chemical park of Yanweigang Town, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province on March 30, 2018. The pond water and beach separated from the sea by a dike are "colorful". Reporter Li Xiangshe

  Recently, chemical parks in Yancheng, Lianyungang and other places in Jiangsu Province have exposed environmental pollution problems one after another, which has aroused widespread concern in society. A reporter from the Economic Information Daily recently visited a number of Lingang Chemical Industry Zones in Jiangsu Province and found that although the ecological environment has improved, the surrounding ecological environment is still fragile due to too many ecological debts. The leading group of joint investigation in Jiangsu province and city found that some enterprises even dug 30 meters to secretly bury underground pipes to discharge pollutants, causing ecological and environmental problems such as water source and soil. Experts called for an iron fist for future governance, and it is urgent to jump out of the cycle of "remediation as soon as a problem occurs, and remediation after another problem".

  Scene: disturbing smell

  Recently, reporters from the Economic Information Daily have visited Binhai, Funing Aoyang, Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province and Duigou Chemical Industry Park in guannan county City, Lianyungang City. They can smell the smell of chemicals several kilometers away, and the smell of apples and rotten eggs comes into their noses from time to time.

  "Especially in rainy days and at night, the smell of chemical plants is so strong that sometimes doors and windows can be smelled when they are closed." Some people around Funing Aoyang Chemical Industry Park reflected. "Even if most chemical enterprises are shut down, the smell of overhaul is still unbearable, which shows that the whole process control level was not in place when the chemical enterprises were built." A staff member in charge of environmental protection of Funing High-tech Zone Management Committee said.

  Besides air, the problem of water is also worrying. The reporter found that around the Lingang Industrial Zone in Guanyun County, Jiangsu Province, the pond water and beach separated from the sea by a dike are colorful; In Funing Aoyang Industrial Park, a sewage ditch in front of pesticide plant, the smell of chemicals is pungent and disgusting.

  The reporter of Economic Information Daily went deep into Jiangsu Shengshi Chemical Co., Ltd. in Lingang Industrial Zone of Guanyun County, Jiangsu Province, and found that although the company had stopped production and there was no one in the factory, it still smelled pungent. The iron big warehouse in the factory area is rusty. The reporter saw through the crack that there are still bags of things in it. The soil near the iron warehouse is slightly green, and there are many sewage with unknown composition and black color in the pool behind the factory area.

  The reporter then went to Sanbaigong Village, which is just across the river from the Lingang Industrial Zone in Guanyun County.

  Jiang Shunyou, a 56-year-old villager, told the reporter that in the past, as long as it was windy, the smell of the surrounding chemical plants would float to the village, which was more pungent. At that time, as soon as they entered the city, others could smell their peculiar smell. Villager Zhuang Guimei reported that the air in the village was very poor in the past, especially at night, and he was afraid to open the window. Moreover, the wind direction is different, and the smell of chemicals blown is also different. However, "in recent years, many chemical plants around have been closed, and the smell is much smaller."

  Jiang Yufeng and other villagers told reporters that from 2011 to 2016, chemical plants started to discharge more pollutants, and the smell was more serious. In foggy days and rainy days, some chemicals would land on farmland, crops would not grow, and grain output was relatively low. In the past two years, the air quality has improved a lot and the crops are growing well.

  At the dock of Yanwei Port adjacent to the port industrial zone, the reporter saw that there were similar oily suspended substances flowing on the sea surface, and some construction waste and waste steel were scattered near the port, which was rather messy. Shan Lianye, a 54-year-old fisherman, told reporters that the pollution in the port was serious more than two years ago, and sometimes a blood-red pollution zone could be seen on the water surface. The fish and shrimp caught in those years also had an odor and dared not eat it. In the last two years, the surrounding chemical plants have been shut down a lot, and the environment has improved a little.

  Investigation: thrilling stealing

  In order to thoroughly investigate the environmental pollution problems of three chemical industrial parks in Guanhekou, Jiangsu established a provincial and municipal joint investigation leading group, which consists of a comprehensive coordination group and three special investigation teams, including environmental violations, planning and layout, elimination of backward production capacity, and performance supervision, to carry out special investigations. Since the end of April, all special investigation teams have been stationed in Guanyun, Guannan and Xiangshui chemical parks to formulate investigation plans.

  With regard to the problem of gas odor, the environmental protection departments of cities and counties in Jiangsu Province jointly inspected 41 chemical enterprises in the "Liangguan" Chemical Park one by one, and promptly put on record and investigated the suspected environmental violations of 12 enterprises including Tengyu Chemical in Guanyun County and Vigris Chemical in guannan county. Lianyungang Environmental Protection Department deployed the city’s environmental law enforcement forces, and divided them into six groups to carry out a "carpet" environmental inspection of enterprises in Guanyun County and guannan county Chemical Industry Park. At present, 8 enterprises have been inspected, and 6 suspected environmental violations of 5 enterprises are being investigated and handled. After preliminary investigation, the following problems are mainly found:

  First, the problem of stealing buried pipes still exists. For the problem of concealed pipes, the governments of Guanyun County and guannan county called more than 20 excavators and pipe jacking detection devices to investigate around the clock. After investigation, a concealed pipe was found 3 kilometers near the estuary of Yihe River in Guanyun County. After the reverse tracking of the pipe and the sampling analysis of water samples and nearby soil, Lianyungang Yongrun Chemical Co., Ltd. was locked up. At present, the public security department has taken control measures against three responsible persons of the enterprise, and the county government has also ordered the enterprise to close down.

  "After we found the concealed pipe, we tracked it all the way to the sewage pool of Yongrun Chemical Co., Ltd., which is 3 kilometers away. The whole concealed pipe was U-shaped, with the deepest point of 30 meters and the caliber of 110 mm." A staff member of Lingang Branch of Guanyun County Environmental Supervision Bureau introduced.

  Second, there are still multiple problems in drinking well water, farmland water and pond water. Xu Yong, an accountant in Sanbaigong Village, told the reporter that before the tap water was connected to the village in November 2017, the villagers relied on two deep wells for drinking water. The water quality analysis results of Lianyungang Environmental Monitoring Center Station on April 19th showed that the ammonia nitrogen index of one of the wells in the village was slightly higher than the standard. Zhuang Guimei, who runs a supermarket in the village, told reporters that although the well water in the village can be drunk, some villagers did not dare to drink it because they were worried about the pollution of the well water.

  The reporter’s investigation also found that in the cement sewer of Sanbaigong Village, the sewage was mixed with garbage, with a black color and a foul smell, which needed to be rectified urgently. Some ditches in farmland are mostly stagnant water, which is not connected with each other. The water surface is yellow and black, and some pesticide packages and bottle caps are scattered along the ditches. Lianyungang environmental protection department also sampled and tested two farmland ditches in Sanbaigong Village, and the permanganate index was high. The permanganate index of the water sample in the north-south junction ditch between Sanbaigong Village and Yannan Farm is as high as 19.6, which far exceeds the environmental quality standard of Class V surface water.

  Third, soil pollution in some areas is worrying. In a farmland in Sanbaigong Village, the reporter found that the surrounding crops are growing well, and only one inch of grass is barren in the middle, which is very strange. The local village cadres explained that crops could not grow because of the low-lying saline-alkali land, but the reporter found that the surrounding areas where crops grew were almost the same terrain, which was difficult to establish. At present, the local environmental protection department has sampled and analyzed the soil there.

  Action: Strict law enforcement.

  In view of the serious damage to the ecological environment in Binhai County, Dafeng District, Xiangshui County of Yancheng City, Guanyun County of Lianyungang City, guannan county City and Dainan Town of xinghua city, in late April, Jiangsu Provincial Environmental Protection Department successively implemented a six-month regional approval restriction for the above six areas. During the period, the examination and approval of environmental impact assessment documents of all construction projects except environmental protection infrastructure projects and people’s livelihood projects will be suspended.

  Aiming at the areas along the Yangtze River where chemical enterprises are also highly concentrated, Jiangsu Province has launched a special campaign of joint enforcement of environmental protection in eight cities along the Yangtze River, which combines cross-checking with provincial supervision.

  The one-month joint law enforcement campaign mainly targeted at stationary pollution sources in Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Suzhou, Nantong, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Taizhou and counties (cities, districts) under its jurisdiction, focusing on key parks and enterprises in eight cities along the Yangtze River with strong public reaction, prominent media attention, serious pollution discharge and lagging progress in remediation. The inspection team is composed of the environmental protection departments and public security organs of eight cities along the Yangtze River who are responsible for selecting the business backbones in their respective jurisdictions.

  Chen Zhipeng, member of the party group and deputy director of Jiangsu Provincial Environmental Protection Department, bluntly said that the areas along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu are densely populated and densely populated, and the resources and environment have been in a tight state. "About two-thirds of the province’s heavy chemical production capacity is concentrated along the banks of the Yangtze River, and the total wastewater discharge of the eight cities along the Yangtze River accounts for 74% of the province. Although law enforcement has been continuously strengthened in recent years and environmental crimes have been severely cracked down, illegal cases are still high. "

  "Since last year, the province’s public security organs have investigated and dealt with 534 criminal cases of environmental pollution, including more than 400 cases in 8 cities along the Yangtze River, accounting for more than 70%, showing new characteristics such as more concealed crime methods, more complicated crime chains and more prominent cross-regional crimes." Shang Jianrong, deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Department, said that this joint law enforcement special action will combine end-to-end attack with front-end governance, macro-judgment with case analysis, and crack down on pollution crimes in the whole chain and all links, so as to clear the source, break the chain and remove the roots.

  According to the information released by Jiangsu Provincial Environmental Protection Department recently, all inspection teams have been put in place and a number of environmental pollution problems have been discovered one after another. Among them, the sixth inspection team composed of Nantong environmental monitoring and public security personnel found that a stainless steel production enterprise in Zhangjiagang City had a concealed pipe leading directly to the river, and the end of the concealed pipe was connected with the storage tank of blackening process washing wastewater (hazardous solid waste). At the same time, similar waste liquid was dumped in the farmland behind the factory. Subsequently, the local police intervened in advance, and after locking the evidence, they will quickly file a case for investigation according to the law.

  During the on-site inspection of a hot dip galvanizing plant in Yangzhou, Nanjing Group found that the farmland soil on the west side of the plant was strongly acidic, which was consistent with the acidity of the waste liquid in the waste liquid barrel in the plant, and it was suspected of stealing waste liquid. The monitoring personnel further compared and analyzed the soil and waste liquid samples. The inspectors also found that the company’s acid mist tower was strongly acidic and did not add lye for absorption, which was suspected that the facility was not operating normally.

  "The purpose of the special action is very clear, that is, to attack the environmental problems that have been strongly reflected by the masses and have not been solved for a long time, to break down regional protection, to prevent human law enforcement and pollution, to crack down on environmental violations, to safeguard the interests of the masses, and to protect the ecological security of the Yangtze River." Ding Nianlong, head of Nantong Group, said. (Reporter Lu Huadong and Qin Huajiang)

Ask the M8/Xiaomi YU7 and others to lead the heavy SUV market in 2025 (Part II)

(Original title: Ask the world M8/ Xiaomi YU7 and other leading heavy SUVs to be listed in 2025 (below))

Car home Information In recent days, car home has successively brought you the first issue of heavy cars and heavy SUVs that will be launched in 2025. Today, we will bring you the next issue of heavy SUV models. This article focuses on new energy vehicles, including models such as Wenjie M8, Xiaomi Yuqi and Tucki G7. Then let’s talk nonsense and see if there are any models you like.

● Time of listing of M8: within the year.

Just at the beginning of January, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology exposed the new medium-sized and large-sized SUV—— of Wenjie in advance-Wenjie M8 model. The car is fine-tuned on the basis of the family design style of the existing brand, forming a more recognizable shape. At the same time, its tail adopts a penetrating taillight group, and it is expected to add the same pixel light group as M9 on both sides, which can customize the display pattern and enhance the emotional value of users.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5190/1999/1795mm and the wheelbase is 3105 mm. Tyre size is 255/50R20, 275/50R20, 265/45R21 and 285/45R21. In terms of power, Wenjie M8 is equipped with a 1.5T extended range power system, in which the maximum engine power is 118kW and the fuel consumption of WLTC is 0.53L/100km and 0.52L/100km. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with front and rear dual motors, and the peak power of the driving motor is 165kW/ 227kW.

Editor’s comment:

On the premise of the great success of M7 in the field of inquiry, the arrival of M8 in the field of inquiry is undoubtedly another king explosion for the current new power brands. First of all, today’s HarmonyOS Zhixing is no longer the volume when the M7 was released. As a best-selling brand under HarmonyOS Zhixing, the brand-new M8 with family appearance and Huawei technology empowerment is obviously given high hopes. From the positioning point of view, the price gap between M7 and M9 will be filled by the customer’s M8. As can be seen from the product naming method and vehicle size positioning, the customer’s M8 is the market between the customer’s M7 and the customer’s M9, so the pricing will be between them. As a reference, the price range of the customer’s M7 is 24.98-329,800. The price range of M9 is 469,800-569,800, and it is estimated that M8 will be in the range of 350,000-450,000. So, do you think that with the current popularity in HarmonyOS, can it help the success of the M8 and M7?

● Time to market of Xiaomi YU7: June-July.

Judging from the latest news, Xiaomi YU7 will be listed in June and July, and the price is expected to be between 300,000 and 400,000. The entry version is equipped with a large battery and a laser radar. New car competitors lock in mainstream models such as Tesla Model Y. In a brief review, Xiaomi YU7 adopts Xiaomi family-style design language, and the bullet-shaped headlight group with multi-lens design makes this car have a good recognition. At the same time, the lower enclosure of the new car is still equipped with a large-sized blackened air inlet, which further enhances the sporty atmosphere of the new car with the design of diversion grooves on both sides.

The new car adopts a coupe style design with a large slip back. The front of the car is very slender and the roof lines are dynamic and smooth. From the rear of the car, the car also uses the same taillight design as Xiaomi SU7, but thanks to the higher body of the SUV, the overall line is more stretched. In terms of body size, according to the application information, the length, width and height of the new car are 4999/1996/1600mm and the wheelbase is 3000mm respectively.

In terms of power, the car has been declared before. The declared models include a dual-motor version and a single-motor version. The former has a maximum power of 220/288kW and a maximum power of 508kW(691 HP). The maximum power of the latter motor is 235kW. At the same time, the dual-motor version is equipped with ternary lithium batteries, and the single-motor version is equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries. In addition, the curb weight of the single-motor version is reduced from 2405kg to 2315kg of the dual-motor version.

Editor’s comment:

The Xiaomi SU7 released in 2024 has become an unprecedented phenomenon-level product, achieving both traffic and sales. Therefore, when Xiaomi Automobile released the second car: Xiaomi YU7, this car also showed the potential to become an explosion at the first time. Judging from the competition pattern, if SU7 is a "small Boss" to Model 3, then Model Y faced by YU7 can be said to be the "big devil" in the SUV industry, and the monthly sales of 40,000-50,000+is not something to talk about. Coupled with the fact that Tesla Model Y has just completed the redesign, can the two achieve a head-on confrontation in 2025? It is really worth looking forward to.

● Tucki G7 time to market: during the year.

Tucki G7 has previously completed the declaration by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the estimated price of the car is about 250,000 yuan. It adopts the same design language as Tucki P7+, and is equipped with split headlights, with an arc-shaped penetrating LED strip above, and the far and near light groups below are integrated with the diversion groove, so the overall shape is very sharp. In addition, there is a large blackened air inlet under the front of the car, which further enhances the sense of movement of the car.

Official map

The new car has dynamic side lines, the brand-new cross-shaped wheels look very visually impactful, and there are five-spoke wheels to choose from. From the rear of the car, the new car is equipped with trapezoidal through taillights, but the middle part below can’t be lit. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a blackened rear surround and a rear spoiler design, which greatly enhances the sporty atmosphere of the rear. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4892/1925/1655mm and the wheelbase is 2890mm respectively. In terms of power, the new car is driven by a single motor, with a peak power of 218kW and a maximum speed of 202 km/h. The battery is lithium iron phosphate battery.

Editor’s comment:

With the positioning of medium-sized SUV and the design and configuration of new power brands, there is no doubt that Tucki G7 will also besiege Tesla, a member of the Bright Top, in 2025. As far as the current situation is concerned, Tucki has found a "low-cost and high-profit" profit path from MONA M03 and P7+, so similar strategies are extended to G7, and with a convincing price, I believe G7 can finally reap good sales.

● Volvo EX90 time to market: within the year.

Volvo EX90 was declared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in November, 2024. The car is based on SPA2 architecture and can be the pure electric successor of Volvo XC90. The appearance of Volvo EX90 adopts a brand-new electric appearance. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5037/1964/1742(1747)mm, and the wheelbase is 2985mm, which is positioned as a medium and large SUV.

In terms of interior, the new car also adopts a simple style, with a small LCD instrument in front of the driver, a 14.5-inch central control panel in the center and a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. In this car, Volvo has also adopted new environmentally-friendly fabrics, and the seat surface is made of recycled materials such as PET plastic bottles and pine resin.

It is understood that the car will be equipped with lidar, 16 ultrasonic sensors, 8 cameras, 5 radars and NVIDIA Orin chips in the future, and it is expected to have a good driving experience. In terms of power, the previously declared vehicle will be equipped with a dual-motor pure electric power system, providing two power configurations of high and low power. The maximum power output of the front and rear motors in the high-power version is 180kW/200kW, and the maximum power output of the front and rear motors in the low-power version is 173kW/127kW.

Editor’s comment:

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the Volvo EX90, which was launched two years ago, will finally be officially listed in 2025. Judging from the fact that it has been officially announced in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it should be close. Judging from the competition pattern, Volvo EX90, as a medium-sized, pure electric and luxury brand, seems to have few rivals. At present, only Mercedes-Benz has corresponding products at this level. However, electric vehicles have always been a pain point for joint venture brands and luxury brands. Then, the EX90, which has been "pigeon for two years", once again rushed into this market, is it a preemptive opportunity? Or is it another "attempt" by luxury brands?

● Ideal time to market for I series: within the year (the fastest third quarter)

Exposure of spy photos in August 2024

According to the latest news, LI will launch a pure electric SUV in 2025, and will be in line with the L series, and launch four models to form a family matrix. However, in 2025, perhaps only two of these models will be launched (with a high probability of being the same level products of the ideal L7 and the ideal L9), and then the lineup will be further expanded according to market feedback.

In addition, in terms of naming, the earliest exposed naming method is the combination of M+ numbers, but obviously this is highly overlapping with the naming method of the world. Then there was news that it might be combined with i+ numbers, which just formed "Li" with the extended L series, echoing the brand name. However, this will overlap with BMW’s pure electric vehicle naming system, so the final naming has yet to be officially announced.

Exposure of spy photos in September 2024

Exposure of spy photos in January 2025

Finally, the uncertainty includes the appearance of the product and the time to market. Although we have exposed the test spy photos of the new car many times before, it looks like the SUV version of the ideal MEGA. However, we learned from relevant channels that the current spy photos are still not the final version, and its appearance is still likely to be adjusted. Therefore, the time to market is currently uncertain, and it is expected that it will not arrive until the third quarter at the earliest.

Editor’s comment:

The ideal brand has exposed a series of new cars for road tests many times, which will undoubtedly be the "biggest job" that Li wants to do in 2025. At present, the only exact news is that this series of models will be pure electric SUVs, and spy photos show that the style of the new car will continue the design language of MEGA. According to the ideal AI Talk not long ago, it is expected that the related AI technology and L3-level intelligent driving will be used in the new car. But then again, most manufacturers now turn from pure electricity to extended range, and they bet on the ideal of the track in the early days, and now they are re-developing pure electric platforms and building charging networks. What kind of results will this wave of "doing the opposite" gain in the end?

● Time to market of Lectra 900: within the year.

Lectra 900, a large-scale flagship SUV—— under the Lectra brand, has been declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before, which is based on SPA Evo, the exclusive architecture of large-scale electric hybrid vehicles. Its front face adopts the design that runs through the headlight group and the front grille ring below, while retaining THE NEXT DAY design gene, it adopts symmetrical aesthetics to increase the sense of structure and balance the sense of calmness of the flagship cart head.

Editor’s comment:

The appearance of the Lexus 900 car perfectly explains what kind of unique skills you need to get along in the current new energy market in China. Whether it is the exterior interior design, the refrigerator, color TV, rotating sofa in the car, plus three motors and rear wheel steering, the Lectra 900 can be said to have "online celebrity function" on itself, and it is still the "volume" of the China market behind all this. Lectra 900 is the first answer sheet handed over by this brand after the acquisition of Lectra, which has played an important role in the planning and tuning of the whole brand.

● Extreme krypton EX1H time to market: within the fourth quarter

According to our latest news, a brand-new large SUV will be launched in 2025, code-named EX1H/E, known as "Cullinan in Hangzhou Bay", and its length is expected to exceed 5.2 meters. An Conghui, CEO of Krypton, said that the first brand-new flagship SUV with NVIDIA Thor chip will be released in the third quarter of 2025 and officially launched in the fourth quarter.

Previously, the column of "Home New Car Painting" also produced an imaginary picture of the car. The front face design of the extreme EX1E will continue the current design of 007 and 7X, and the iconic smart light screen will also be adopted, and the overall design is relatively concise. The vehicle mid-net area adopts an integrated structure and is equipped with an active air intake grille below, and the opening mode is the same as that of 7X.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that this flagship large SUV will have two forms of power, one is conventional pure electric power, and the other is newly developed super electric hybrid technology. This super electric hybrid technology will combine the technical advantages of pure electricity, plug-in hybrid and range extension. This "super electric hybrid system" is not a traditional range extension. In the range extension mode, it can ensure the pure electric driving experience (with charging function), and the engine can drive directly at high speed, solving the pain point of high fuel consumption at high speed in the traditional range extension mode.

Editor’s comment:

The legendary "Cullinan in Hangzhou Bay" is still a completely mysterious model so far, but from the known news and our illusion about the new car, it seems that people have smelled the smell of gunpowder between the flagship SUVs of the new forces in 2025. At present, the sales volume of the new power large SUV is undoubtedly the top in the world, followed by L9 and there is no car in succession, which undoubtedly makes all major manufacturers see the vacancy in this market. With the development of China’s new energy market, it seems that the market with higher competition will follow suit, so there may be more and more "opponents" of the extreme krypton EX1H.

● Time to market of Haobo HL: within the year (pre-sale will be started in March)

Editor’s comment:

In the medium and large-scale new energy SUV market with a price of over 350,000, it is no longer enough to rely on large size, large space and high cost performance. Haobo HL, which is positioned as a "high-end", will face the ideal L8, Wenjie M8 and other models at this price. Therefore, whether it is scientific and luxurious, it is required that this car has the level of reaching or even exceeding the brand of new power. Of course, there is also brand power that needs to complement each other with product power. Therefore, in front of brands such as Wei Xiaoli and HarmonyOS, Haobo may still have a way to go.

● Time to market of Chuanqi S7: within the first half of the year.

According to the latest news, Chuanqi S7, a brand-new medium and large SUV—— under GAC Chuanqi, will be listed in the first half of 2025.

Editor’s comment:

After finishing the market of common medium-sized cars and SUVs, it is the trend of major car companies in China in 2025 to enter the medium-sized SUVs, and Chuanqi S7 is officially one of them. From the model itself, the ample size and large color TV with refrigerator and sofa are typical China brand new energy vehicles. If an affordable price is added, the "cheap big bowl" may be a good marketing point. But then again, in the future, large and medium-sized SUVs with "cheap bowls" will emerge in China market, so it is particularly critical for Chuanqi S7 to "fight a way out" for itself.

● Time to market of retail B10: within March and April.

Zero Run B10, a brand-new compact SUV—— under the Zero Run brand, has previously completed the declaration by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the car will be listed in March-April, focusing on the market of 100,000-150,000 yuan in the future. The zero-run B10 adopts a closed middle net, and two sides are equipped with split headlight groups, with penetrating LED daytime running lights above and far and near light groups below. There is a rectangular air inlet design under the front of the car, and there are diversion grooves on both sides, showing a good sense of movement.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4515/1885/1655mm and the wheelbase is 2735mm respectively. In terms of power, the car is equipped with a model TZ180XY005 driving motor produced by Jinhua Lingsheng Power Technology Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 160 kW.

In addition, the new car will adopt all-in-one intelligent electric drive system and CTC battery chassis integration technology, with a pure battery life of 600+km.

Editor’s comment:

The record of "Half-price Ideal" in 2024 can be said to be gratifying. It not only completed the sales of nearly 300,000 vehicles, but also achieved a year-on-year growth of more than 100%. Of course, it is the envy of a new group of forces, and it has to be said that it has achieved positive profits. Therefore, in order to maintain this momentum, the new car that will run zero in 2025 will become a key growth point, among which B10 should be the closest one to us and will be officially listed in March. With a lower level and younger positioning, combined with the consistent cost-effective strategy of zero running, perhaps this B10 can become the "first SUV for young people".

It is worth mentioning that the official has previously revealed that the current medium and long-term plan for zero-running cars is to be a popular model and first stand firm in the market with the largest capacity. At the same time, it said that the competition in this market is also the fiercest. In order to improve the competitiveness, B series and C series will realize the self-developed end-to-end large-scale model intelligent driving system in 2025.

● Time to market of Toyota Platinum 3X: within the first quarter

According to official information of GAC Toyota, Platinum 3X(bZ3X), which is positioned as a compact SUV, will be launched in the first quarter. The car will be equipped with L2++ peer-to-peer intelligent driving jointly developed by GAC Toyota and Momenta, and the future price is expected to be less than 200,000 yuan. This car adopts the latest family-style design, creating a good recognition. On the tail side, the car uses a penetrating taillight group, which is matched with the shape of the diversion groove at right angles on both sides below, creating a good fashion sense.

The car has been declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4600/1850(1875)/1660(1645)mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2765 mm. In terms of power, the car will be equipped with a model TZ175XSAY501 drive motor produced by Guangzhou Nideco Automotive Drive System Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 150 kW.

The end-to-end intelligent driving system that the car will be equipped with in the future is based on the NVIDIA 254tops computing platform and equipped with 29 sensors including 126-line lidar. In terms of software, it is equipped with Momenta algorithm 5.0 and adopts an integrated end-to-end large model. Based on Momenta, the data flywheel can learn and iterate independently and continuously improve the performance limit of the system through mass production data backflow.

Editor’s comment:

It can be seen that Platinum 3X tends to be favored by domestic consumers, both in appearance and interior design. At the same time, it is also equipped with L2++ end-to-end intelligent driving developed in cooperation with Momenta, which is more in line with the intelligent driving configuration of mainstream electric vehicles. Therefore, the arrival of Platinum 3X represents a new round of Toyota’s efforts in the electric vehicle market in China. It is worth mentioning that the pre-sale price of this car shows that the car is aimed at the market of about 100 thousand. I wonder if such a cheap and pure electric Toyota is enough to impress consumers’ hearts?

SHENZHEN, May 8, 2017/PRNewswire/-Sam member stores have strengthened their differentiated product strategy, developed high-end products that meet the preferences of China consumers, upgraded existing word-of-mouth products, and continued to expand their competitive advantages. Sam continues to intensify the research and development of its own brand Member’s Mark food. More than a dozen new products and upgraded star products have appeared in the recent "Taste Sam" activity, covering baking, fresh food, cooked food and other categories, which fully meet the discerning taste buds of high-end members. Among them, Matcha Melaleuca cake, organic vegetables and Australian imported beef are expected to drive a substantial increase in sales.

As a high-end membership store, Sam Member Store has opened 15 stores in 13 cities in China, serving nearly 1.8 million members. Andrew Miles, president of Sam member store’s China business, said: "Sam has developed rapidly in recent years, thanks to our continuous provision of quality goods, excellent member service and good shopping experience. Whether the membership value of Sam can be reflected is one of the important considerations in our commodity development strategy. We organically combine the consumption trend with the needs of members, and further expand our competitive advantage through differentiated commodity strategy. We will continue to upgrade and optimize the product structure, so that members can feel the concept of’ better life in Sam’, and welcome more consumers who value quality and shopping experience to become members of Sam. "

Sam opens "Taste Sam" month.


Sam opens "Taste Sam" month.

Sam’s commodity development emphasizes high quality and continuous innovation. Taking the baking category as an example, Sam is extremely strict in screening its own brand suppliers. Besides routine evaluation and factory inspection, it also requires suppliers to have experience in cooperating with five-star hotels. With its excellent market acumen and innovative spirit, Sam has launched many products highly sought after by its members, such as Member’s Mark Durian Melaleuca Cake, which has been ranked as the national baking sales champion in Sam for one year. After five months of repeated testing and adjustment, Sam recently launched a Melaleuca Matcha cake. In the research and development process, in order to better balance the fragrance of matcha and cream, the toughness of egg skin, and the taste and fragrance after thawing, Sam tried dozens of kinds of green tea powder at home and abroad, and finally chose the matcha powder certified by Uji, Japan, and carried out destructive tests in storage, transportation and other aspects. The fresh taste of this product is especially suitable for summer, and it is expected to boost sales with durian Melaleuca cake.

The research and development of new products in Sam is based on the in-depth understanding of members’ living habits and dietary preferences, such as cooked beef rolls and fried food wrapped in powder suitable for fast-paced life in "Taste Sam"; More than a dozen new products such as seasonal vanilla ice cream. In addition, Sam’s organic vegetables have achieved double-digit growth year after year, which reflects the growing demand of members for organic vegetables. Because organic vegetables are easily influenced by uncontrollable factors without pesticides, it is difficult to ensure the supply. Sam has selected more than ten organic vegetable farms certified by national authorities, and launched seven new products of Member’s Mark organic vegetables for the first time, and ensured uninterrupted supply throughout the country.

"Healthier" and "higher-end" are also the focus of food upgrading in Sam. Take Member’s Mark Zongzi as an example. After listening to the feedback from members, Sam boldly improved the formula and production technology of this traditional food, and the lard content was reduced by about 25% compared with last year. The glutinous rice and Moganshan pollution-free Zongzi leaves in the south of the Yangtze River were selected in this season, and the outer packaging passed the 8,000-time beating test, which effectively prevented bumps and cracks, and ensured the taste of the members.

As a star commodity in Sam, the annual sales of imported beef from Australia increased by more than 50% in recent three years. This year, Sam cut all Australian beef more finely, covering nearly 20 parts, which is suitable for Chinese and Western cooking methods, and also added Australian Angus cattle, which is juicy and tender, especially suitable for Western cooking. In terms of vegetables, vegetable seedlings have shown great growth potential. Sam’s vegetable seedlings are all picked at the seedling stage, and the average growth period is about one third of the total growth period, which makes them taste more crisp and tender. At present, they account for about 40% of leafy vegetables sales. In the future, Sam will increase the variety and quantity of vegetable seedlings, which is expected to account for 50% of leafy vegetables.

In addition to constantly improving the quality of goods, Sam will provide more cost-effective products for people’s livelihood through various activities, so that members can gain more value brought by membership, which is very popular among members. Sales of products such as baked mixed nuts and flexible handkerchief paper by Member’s Mark doubled in the activity of "Great Member Value with High Membership Value" which lasted for the whole year, and sales of northeast super rice by Member’s Mark in April doubled year-on-year.

Sam has opened the distribution of fresh goods in 12 cities, providing the service of one-stop purchase and one-order delivery for normal temperature, cold storage and frozen goods in a single temperature zone.

Don’t believe these three battery charging rumors: batteries are actually very resistant to manufacturing.

Large-capacity battery and fast charging have always been two characteristics pursued by players. There are also many skills about charging on the Internet. For non-flagship phones, these skills don’t really need much attention. However, it is still necessary to solve some common misunderstandings for expensive and folding screen mobile phones.

Mobile phones can’t be recharged frequently: the battery of mobile phones can be recycled 800 times, so it’s not so easy to break down.

Many people know that the battery life of a mobile phone or laptop is about 800 cycles, but they don’t know what this life means. They mistakenly believe that each charge will consume a lifetime, so they think that they can’t charge frequently. In fact, this concept is incorrect. Cycle life refers to a cycle when the total amount of battery discharge reaches the rated capacity. For example, if the battery is discharged by 10%, 30%, 40% and 20% respectively, only when the total amount of these four discharges reaches the rated capacity can it be counted as consuming a cycle life. Therefore, the mobile phone can be charged anytime and anywhere, without worrying about the loss of battery life.

In addition, after the life of the battery reaches 800 cycles, it does not mean that the battery will be completely damaged, but after that, it can provide 80% of the designed capacity. This just shows that its durability has declined.

IPhone does not need fast charging because fast charging damages the battery: it has an impact but it is not serious.

Another common misunderstanding is that fast charging will damage the battery, because fast charging is faster and may consume the battery life faster. indeedHigh temperature and increased voltage will accelerate the aging speed of the battery. The fast charging of the mobile phone is mainly realized by increasing the voltage or current, which will inevitably increase the loss of the battery.

However, there is no need to worry. Fast charging is not the chief culprit of battery damage. Anyone who has used fast charging knows that when charging fast, the mobile phone will heat up. High temperature will affect the activity of lithium ion inside the battery, thus affecting the life of the mobile phone battery. Therefore, the main reason for the decrease of battery life of mobile phones is high temperature, not fast charging.

As long as the heating problem is properly controlled, there is no need to worry that fast charging will damage the battery. And now with the continuous maturity of technology, many brands have done charging protection for fast charging to ensure that it will not affect the battery within two or three years. According to my own experience, even with fast charge, the battery life can still reach more than 80% after two or three years.

The battery breaks down quickly when the mobile phone is charging: it has no effect at all.

Many people have heard that mobile phones can’t be charged while playing, because both charging and discharging will damage the battery. However, this view is unscientific.Charging and using the mobile phone at the same time has no effect on the health of the battery. In fact, on the contrary, charging and using the mobile phone at the same time is also beneficial to the life of the mobile phone battery. The life of mobile phone battery mainly depends on the number of times of charging and discharging.When the mobile phone is charging, the power chip will directly supply power to the motherboard and control the stored energy of the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the mobile phone will get power directly from the motherboard when it is used, bypassing the power supply of the battery. Therefore, even if the battery is removed, there will be no problem, and the battery will have a short rest, reducing the number and frequency of discharge. The mobile phone motherboard is also equipped with a power control chip.

Choose fast-charging and large-capacity mobile phones instead of caring about batteries;

The use of the battery must be lossy, but as far as the current technology is concerned, whether it is fast charging or slow charging, basically the mobile phone battery can be used in a better state for 2-3 years. Therefore, instead of worrying about battery loss, it is really better to change a battery with a larger capacity, or choose a fast charge of more than 100W, a larger capacity and a faster speed, which can make up for the poor experience caused by battery loss.

  Editor’s note: Since June this year, our province has launched a civilized service improvement action for the taxi industry in the Pearl River Delta region to further standardize business behavior, improve service quality, establish a civilized image, and promote the construction of a humanistic bay area that is livable, suitable for industry and suitable for tourism. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, create a good social atmosphere. All localities and departments have attached great importance to it, acted quickly, and done a lot of work and achieved initial results. This action will be promoted across the province by the end of this year.

  According to the requirements of the provincial party committee, the progress of the current actions in various places is still far from the goal. In order to find out the real situation, on September 1-2, Nanfang Daily dispatched a number of undercover inspection teams to directly attack the chaos of taxi services in key public places in nine cities in the Pearl River Delta, hoping to attract further attention from relevant departments, increase efforts to rectify, and effectively promote the problem.

  Why don’t you hit the meter?

  Not playing the watch seems to be an unspoken rule

  The driver said he could earn twice as much

  At around 19:30 on September 2, the reporter arrived at the Foshan bus station and saw seven cars cluttered at the passenger exit. Five of them had obvious taxi signs, and the other two were ordinary cars without signs. Drivers gathered together and waited for passengers to leave the station.

  The reporter stepped forward, and before he could speak, a driver asked enthusiastically.

  "Where to?"

  "It’s quite close, Lingnan Tiandi."

  "30 yuan."

  "Don’t you play the meter?"

  "No watches, no one here watches."

  While the reporter was talking to the driver, several drivers next to him immediately surrounded. Seeing the reporter say that 30 yuan is too expensive, a middle-aged man shouted loudly: "20 yuan, it only earns you 10 yuan more than playing a watch." The reporter accepted.

  The middle-aged man told reporters that it is an unspoken rule for taxis at the entrance of Foshan bus station not to use a meter. "I tell you that 30 yuan is cheap, sometimes 50 yuan, 60 yuan." After about 10 minutes of driving, although the middle-aged man chatted with the reporter, he seemed very vigilant, staring at the reporter’s mobile phone from time to time.

  At about 9 o’clock on the 2nd, the reporter arrived at Jiangmen City Bus Terminal. Five taxis were parked in the taxi pick-up and drop-off area. When the reporter approached, several taxi drivers gathered around and asked about the destination. "If you don’t use the meter, go to Wanda Business District, 30 yuan," said one of the drivers. The reporter’s mobile phone navigation found that the distance was only 3.6 kilometers, and the driver’s price was twice as high as the price of the meter. At this bus station, not using the meter seems to be an unspoken rule. Taxi driver Master Li said: "Who will give you a meter? We have been waiting here for an hour or two."

  On the morning of the 2nd, the reporter arrived at the Zhaoqing Yueyun Bus Terminal. There were five or six taxis parked in the passenger area of the station’s taxis. The drivers got out of the car and gathered on the roadside to pick up customers. "Master, do you want to go to Zhaoqing Railway Station?" Because the destination is close, the reporter opened his mouth, and the otherwise enthusiastic taxi driver’s attitude was much colder. "No meter, 40 yuan," one of the drivers said. Others said the journey was too short to take orders.

  After the reporter insisted that "the price must be measured by the meter", a driver finally agreed and let the reporter get on the bus. He revealed the "inside story": "It is only about 7 kilometers to Zhaoqing Railway Station, and the price of the meter is less than 20 yuan. You can earn twice as much without the meter. I see that it is not easy for you to carry large bags and small bags, so I started your business."

  Why is it rejected?

  5 rejections in 20 minutes

  Electric cars need to be charged for a reason

  On the morning of September 2, the reporter took a taxi from a certain place in Bao’an District, Shenzhen to Nanshan Science and Technology Park. The road conditions were relatively congested, and the 15km journey took about 1 hour. When approaching the destination, due to the large number of cars on the road, the driver asked the reporter to get off at a red light. For safety reasons, the reporter asked the driver to drive through the traffic light and then pull over. When printing the invoice, the driver complained: "It’s really unlucky to receive a ticket like yours to come to the high-tech park."

  Since all taxis in Shenzhen have been fully electric, "charging" has become the reason for taxis to refuse to load. The reporter has encountered taxi refusal on the grounds of "charging" many times in Houhai and Science and Technology Park areas in Shenzhen.

  On the afternoon of the 2nd, the reporter took a taxi from a certain place in Nanshan District, Shenzhen to Longgang District. The taxi driver introduced that the shift and charging usually start at 3 pm, and the charging time is about 1 hour. Around 5 pm, many areas may experience "taxi difficulties" caused by shift and charging.

  In the first half of this year, two taxi drivers at Shenzhen Airport refused to take passengers to Zhangmutou in Dongguan and Hengqin in Zhuhai. The driver said the battery was insufficient or could not be charged after arriving at the destination. Since February this year, the transportation department has set up multiple signs at the entrance of the Shenzhen airport’s waiting area, requiring taxis to maintain sufficient power when entering the station and not refuse to take passengers on grounds such as insufficient power.

  At about 12 o’clock on the 1st, the reporter arrived at the main entrance of Zhongshan City Bus Terminal and planned to take a taxi to Xingzhong Square, which is 3.5 kilometers away. In the car general out-of-app, the reporter did not see a special taxi waiting area. After learning that the reporter’s destination was Xingzhong Square, one taxi driver immediately turned and left, while another taxi driver told the reporter: "It is more convenient to take a taxi across the road!"

  Following the driver’s instructions, the reporter went to the opposite side of the road to wait for the bus. After 15 minutes, there was still no taxi. The three taxis passing by either refused to take the bus or did not use the meter. The reporter was rejected by five taxis within 20 minutes of waiting for the bus.

  At about 10 o’clock on the 2nd, the reporter was at the gate of Zhongshan Boai Hospital and planned to take a taxi to the Zhongshan City Bus Terminal 6 kilometers away. In the no-parking area in front of the hospital, there are three taxis parked scattered, and a driver quoted the reporter 40 yuan. He said: "This price is the same as the meter fee, you can play it or not." He also said that you can issue an invoice without a meter. The invoice amount is determined by the reporter, and the handling fee can be made up. The reporter opened the online car-hailing software and found that the same distance is expected to cost within 30 yuan.

  After the reporter got on the bus, the driver took out a handheld invoice printer, connected it to the taxi’s meter through the data cable, and then issued an invoice according to the amount quoted by the reporter. During the driving process, the driver explained why he did not want to use the meter. He said that he drives a new energy taxi, and the monthly "portion money" is half cheaper than ordinary taxis, but the taxi company takes nearly 10% commission for each order. In order to earn a little more, he did not want to use the meter.

  Station staff help pick up passengers

  "Black car" is seriously overloaded

  "It only costs 120 yuan to go to Baiyun Airport, and the distance is more than 30 kilometers. This price is not expensive, so can you go?" "Go to Guangzhou South Railway Station? There is still a seat, just get on the bus and leave." The reporter visited some stations and subway entrances in Guangzhou and found that the illegal operation of private cars and cars without operating qualifications is widespread, and some vehicles are seriously overloaded in pursuit of profit, which poses a greater safety hazard.

  At 5 o’clock on September 2, at the Guangzhou Railway East out-of-app, the voice of the "black car" driver soliciting passengers was endless. "Are you going to the South Station?" "Have you gone to Baiyun District?" Every time a passenger came out of the exit, the driver stepped forward to greet him warmly.

  Although a large number of cruise taxis waited in orderly queues at the scene, this did not seem to affect the source of "black cars". One taxi driver said that in order to attract passengers, "black cars" mostly use low prices and carpooling as a "selling point". "The subway bus has not yet left, and passengers in a hurry choose’black cars’ to carpool in order to save money."

  At about 6 o’clock on the 2nd, outside the exit of Guangzhou Railway Station, about one or two hundred meters in front of the special lane for cruising taxis, several cars were parked under the viaduct of Inner Ring Road, suspected to be "black cars" without operating qualifications. Drivers crossed the road and wandered to the entrance and exit of vehicles in the railway station square to pick up passengers. Several drivers also took advantage of the opening of the gate to get in and stayed at the passenger exit to solicit business.

  A stopped passenger asked the driver: "What kind of car do you drive?" The driver replied: "I drive’Didi ‘." "Isn’t’Didi’ booked online?" The passenger asked him back, waved his hand, and sped away. Some passengers were just moved by the driver’s words, and when they were still hesitating, the driver immediately dragged the passenger’s suitcase to the car.

  "Black cars" are also active in many subway out-of-app in Guangzhou. "Are there any in the direction of University Town and Panyu Nansha?" On the night of the 2nd, there were continuous shouts outside the exit of the subway station, and more than 10 cruise taxis and "black cars" were parked on the roadside, and drivers were competing for passengers.

  At around 23:40 that day, the reporter saw at the entrances and exits of Guangzhou Hanxi Chimelong Metro Station on both sides of Hanxi Avenue that there were more than 20 "black cars" and cruising taxis, and the success rate of carpooling was high. One of the "black cars" took four passengers to Qifu New Village in Panyu District in less than 10 minutes.

  Some taxi drivers are even seriously overloaded in order to increase their income. In the early morning of the 2nd, more than 10 passengers were squeezed into a black seven-seater van with a Guangdong A brand at Guangzhou East Railway Station, and one of the female passengers was holding a baby. In order to carry more passengers, the driver even prepared plastic stools with the car. It is understood that these passengers are all going to Guangzhou South Railway Station to transfer to the high-speed rail. The carpooling price is 20 yuan per person, which is about 1/4 of the normal taxi price. The income of the illegal operation of the van driver can reach about 200 yuan, far exceeding the legal operation of the vehicle.

  On the morning of the 2nd, the reporter arrived at the Dongguan City Bus Terminal. In the taxi waiting area, more than 10 cars were waiting for passengers to leave the station. "Where are you going? Dongcheng, right? It just happened to be a carpool." The station staff was picking up passengers and motioning the taxi driver who was waiting next to them to come over.

  The driver greeted the reporter and another passenger into the car. "Why didn’t your car stop with other cars, but on the side road?" Faced with the passenger’s inquiry, the driver said frankly: "For short-distance passengers in the city, other drivers don’t want to pull them, so I’ll pull two people by the way."

  When the reporter asked about the fare, the driver said: "The taxis waiting at the station do not use a meter. I will charge you 20 yuan each, and the place you go will cost 23 yuan. It is more cost-effective not to use a meter." After arriving at the destination, he took a 40 yuan invoice to the reporter as a ride certificate.

  In Dongguan, passenger stations and town streets are the high incidence of taxi chaos. The reporter checked the relevant complaints on the local website of Dongguan and found that taxis are often not metered in places such as Dongguan Bus Terminal and Humen High-speed Railway Station.

  Why is it difficult to take a taxi?

  Transportation hubs get together

  At about 18:30 on September 1, the reporter arrived at Zhuhai Station on the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Railway train, and as soon as he left the station, he went straight to the temporary taxi pick-up area. Unexpectedly, the scene in front of the reporter was daunting, and at a glance, the long queue had turned a few corners.

  Staff at the scene told reporters that such queues are common, and the same is true at the nearby Gongbei Port pick-up point. "Now there are about one or two hundred people queuing up for taxis, and it is estimated that it will take an hour or two." The staff member said. In desperation, the reporter had to carry his luggage and walk to Qiaoguang Road, 700 meters away, to take the online car-hailing. Due to the serious traffic jam on the Gongbei section, the reporter took the online car-hailing car around 19:30.

  The average daily traffic counting at Gongbei Port and Zhuhai Station on the urban rail is hundreds of thousands, and there are only two taxi pick-up points currently available. "Difficulty in taking a taxi" has become a major pain point.

  Previously, three taxi pick-up points were set up near Gongbei Port, namely the taxi special area of Gongbei Port Bus Terminal, the temporary taxi pick-up area of Zhuhai Station on the urban rail, and the taxi pick-up point of Qiguan Station. Affected by the transformation of the underground passage, since July 27 this year, the taxi pick-up point of Qiguan Station has been cancelled, leaving only two pick-up points on the ground.

  There are many passengers, few cars, and long queues, and many problems have arisen. Some citizens reported that when taking a taxi near the Gongbei Port, they often encounter problems such as taxi drivers not taking short-distance orders, "black car" drivers picking up passengers halfway, and bargaining.

  "As soon as I said to go to Qianshan, several taxi drivers were unwilling to go because it was relatively close. When I went to the hotel opposite the port to continue taking a taxi, a silver private car drove over and took the initiative to open the door to signal us to get on the bus." A citizen said that at that time, he carried a large bag and a small bag with two children, so he had no choice but to take the "black car" home.

  On the 2nd, when the reporter made an unannounced visit to several transportation hubs in Huizhou City, he saw a large number of "motorcycle" solicitors, and social personnel distributed small advertisements. At about 10 am on the 2nd, many passengers left the bus terminal in Huizhou City. In front of the square, a row of "motorcycle" had already been waiting here, and drivers beckoned to pick up passengers. Since the taxi stop was on the negative first floor, some passengers did not pay attention to the signs and could not find their places. In this area, many social personnel stopped passengers to distribute advertising slips. (Text/Photo: Nanfang Daily Unannounced Visit Team)
