The local temperature may be record-breaking recently, but then the temperature will plummet.







With the consumer finance industry entering the stage of high-quality development, forging professional risk management ability has become the top priority for financial institutions to create competitive advantages and operational resilience. Balancing the resources between "business" and "risk" and creating a professional, digital and refined risk management system test the operational wisdom of various institutions.
As an excellent student in the first echelon of the industry, Industrial Consumer Finance attached great importance to the echelon training of talents’ soft power at the beginning of its establishment, established and improved the system and mechanism, strengthened the policy of combining risk management with assessment and incentive, maintained the stability and enthusiasm of the management team, and laid a solid foundation for the steady development of the company.
Specifically, the company builds a multi-dimensional, quantifiable, scientific and rigorous monitoring index system, strengthens the management and control constraints and responsibilities of key positions and key personnel such as account managers and risk approvers, and improves the accountability mechanism with clear hierarchy, coordinated powers and responsibilities and efficient operation; Strengthen the staff’s awareness of risk management, continuously carry out system education and warning education, enhance the enforcement of rules and regulations, and transmit the awareness of compliance risk to every employee and every business.
In addition, Industrial Consumer Finance integrates traditional risk control and intelligent risk control concepts, effectively solves the problem of information asymmetry, and focuses on building a "pre-lending-lending-post-lending" whole-process risk control system, effectively improving approval efficiency and reducing loan risks. First of all, based on the general lack of effective credit records of sinking customers, we continued to optimize the pre-loan investigation process, adhered to the principle of "pro-nuclear and pro-visit, face-to-face interview", and the account manager went to the customer’s living residence and office to conduct a nuclear visit, investigate and verify its real income and liabilities, comprehensively consider the customer’s external liabilities and living costs, and restore the customer’s real borrowing purpose and solvency as much as possible. Secondly, combining traditional and emerging credit information, on the basis of traditional credit means, making full use of customer behavior data, and strengthening the risk prevention and control of application information verification, bad habits investigation and multi-head lending prevention. After the loan is issued, by building a risk early warning strategy combining system and labor, using multidimensional credit information and machine learning algorithm, and exerting the synergistic effect of big data platform and digital decision engine, the risk of existing customers is stratified and differentiated management is implemented within the duration.
Consumer finance services are aimed at the public who have not fully enjoyed the traditional bank loan services, and the customer base is sinking, which puts forward higher requirements for preventing and resolving financial risks.
In recent years, consumer financial institutions have actively relied on the application of financial technology to improve their ability to handle credit risks. For example, Industrial Consumer Finance explores the cross-domain cooperation of "digital finance+smart justice", puts into production the blockchain electronic deposit system, and uses advanced financial technology means such as blockchain and big data to realize the data docking between court case handling and financial business system, reducing the burden of proof for consumers. Blockchain technology has three characteristics: unforgeability, traceability and openness, transparency and verifiability. Using blockchain technology, the whole process of credit electronic data will be wound up, making electronic data become electronic evidence, improving the availability and reliability of data, effectively realizing data protection and consumer rights protection, and building a more efficient post-loan disposal channel to resolve financial risks. At present, Xingye Xiaojin has combined with Quanzhou Intermediate People’s Court through the blockchain electronic deposit system to realize the whole process of credit, the whole cycle of electronic deposit, the automatic generation and submission of litigation materials in batches with one button, and has handled more than 1,000 cases cumulatively, forming a good demonstration effect.
Risk management is the core competitiveness of financial institutions. The Central Financial Work Conference emphasized that risk prevention and control should be the eternal theme of financial work. As a new financial format, consumer finance should firmly establish risk awareness, strengthen risk management and implement risk responsibility, so as to promote the long-term healthy development of the industry. As a formal licensed financial institution, Industrial Consumer Finance will constantly improve its risk management system, providing strong support for the company’s steady development and stability.

[Column] Effectively Prevent and Resolve Financial Risks and Firmly Hold the Bottom Line of No Systematic Risks.
The Central Financial Work Conference emphasized that finance is the blood of the national economy and an important part of the country’s core competitiveness. It is necessary to speed up the construction of a financial power, comprehensively strengthen financial supervision, improve the financial system, optimize financial services, prevent and resolve risks, unswervingly follow the road of financial development with China characteristics, promote the high-quality development of China’s finance, and provide strong support for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization.
Finance is related to the overall development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the financial system has strongly supported the overall situation of economic and social development, resolutely fought a tough battle to prevent and resolve major risks, and made important contributions to building a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled and achieving the goal of the first century. At the same time, we should be soberly aware that various contradictions and problems in the financial field are intertwined and affect each other, and some of them are still outstanding. There are still many hidden dangers in economic and financial risks, the quality and efficiency of financial services to the real economy are not high, financial chaos and corruption are repeatedly banned, and financial supervision and governance capabilities are weak. At present, the great changes in the world that have never happened in a century are accelerating, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. The financial system should effectively improve its political stance, be mindful of "the country’s greatest", strengthen its mission, and help build a strong country and national rejuvenation with high-quality financial development.
Provide high-quality financial services for economic and social development.Financial activities, economic activities; Financial stability and economic stability. Serving the real economy is the bounden duty and fundamental purpose of finance. To provide high-quality services for economic and social development, finance should work hard on "three efforts": to create a good monetary and financial environment and effectively strengthen high-quality financial services for major strategies, key areas and weak links; Strive to build a modern financial institution and market system, and dredge the channels for funds to enter the real economy; Efforts will be made to promote high-level financial openness and ensure national financial and economic security. The "three efforts" anchor the goal of accelerating the construction of a financial power, point out the path to promote high-quality financial development, and clearly put forward a series of measures such as maintaining the stability of monetary policy, optimizing the structure of capital supply, doing five major articles on technology and finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance and digital finance, creating a financial market with unified rules and coordinated supervision, and steadily expanding the institutional opening of the financial sector. These measures will further enhance the ability of finance to support the development of the real economy and support high-quality development with high-quality financial services.
Comprehensively strengthen financial supervision and effectively prevent and resolve financial risks.Preventing and resolving financial risks is the fundamental task and the eternal theme of financial work. The CPC Central Committee has continuously improved the financial supervision system, promoted a new round of reform of financial supervision institutions, and provided institutional and institutional guarantee for comprehensively strengthening financial supervision and effectively preventing and defusing financial risks. The Central Financial Work Conference made a series of new arrangements for preventing and resolving financial risks. For example, all financial activities should be regulated in accordance with the law, the risks of small and medium-sized financial institutions should be dealt with in time, a long-term mechanism to prevent and resolve local debt risks should be established, the main supervision system and fund supervision of real estate enterprises should be improved, the issuance and trading behavior of financial markets should be standardized, the relationship between rights and responsibilities, speed and stability should be well grasped, and the early correction mechanism of financial risks with hard constraints should be improved. These measures have responded to social hot issues and released the signal of strong supervision and strict supervision, which will definitely enhance the supervision ability and effectiveness. The financial system should take the opportunity of institutional reform, strive to build a complete, scientific, standardized and efficient financial supervision system, and firmly hold the bottom line that systemic financial risks will not occur.
Strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee over financial work.The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the greatest advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, and strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee over financial work is the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job in financial work. Strengthening the party’s overall leadership over financial work and strengthening the system theory and overall view in financial management work are conducive to transforming our political and institutional advantages into financial governance efficiency. It is necessary to improve the system and mechanism of the Party’s leading financial work, give full play to the role of the Central Financial Committee, and do a good job in overall planning, coordination and control. Give full play to the role of the Central Financial Work Committee and earnestly strengthen party building in the financial system. Give full play to the role of the financial committees and financial working committees of local party committees and implement territorial responsibilities. It is necessary to forge a team of high-quality professional financial cadres who are loyal and clean, vigorously carry forward Chinese excellent traditional culture in the financial system, strengthen the construction of financial rule of law, and provide talent support, cultural nourishment and rule of law guarantee for the development of financial undertakings.

The special police squadron and the county armed police squadron organized police forces to patrol key sections and main blocks in the streets, squares, shopping malls and other areas under their jurisdiction every day, and put police forces on the streets to the maximum extent, keeping high-frequency patrols and flashing warning lights, so as to achieve "controlling dead corners, flashing warning lights and meeting police", effectively improving the rate of seeing police and handling affairs on the streets, and effectively deterring all kinds of illegal and criminal activities.
Hidden trouble investigation has me.
The string of safety cannot be relaxed for a moment.

Christmas time in 2018
》》The origin of Christmas bilingual edition
》》The story and legend of Christmas is 50 words short in English.
When and when is Christmas?
Christmas, also known as Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus, is translated as "Christ Mass", a traditional western festival, which falls on December 25th every year. Mass is a liturgy of the church. Christmas is a religious festival, because it is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus, hence the name "Christmas".
What day is Christmas?
Differences between Christmas at home and abroad
1. The West doesn’t eat apples on Christmas Eve.
In China, as early as before the arrival of Christmas Eve, lovers and friends began to give apples to each other. Because "Apple" and "Ping" have the same sound, they take the meaning of peace and smoothness, hoping for peace and security in the next year. In recent years, the market has also launched apples with Christmas trees and the words "peace and auspiciousness", and various styles have emerged one after another.
In the west, there is no such homophonic saying. The habit of eating Ping ‘an fruit didn’t spread until Christmas came into China.
