Changsha’s second largest business district, which used to "sell mud to make money", is staging a resurgence of "East" Mountain.

"When I was here in Dong Tang, I could make money by selling yellow mud …"

Speaking this sentence, Xiong Wenzheng, deputy director of the office of Changsha Tongcheng Holding Co., Ltd., was sitting in the office on the seventh floor of Golden Family. He had been working and living in Dong Tang business circle for more than 30 years. At the peak of Dong Tang Department Store, Xiong Wen, who was in his early twenties, was passionate and splashed ink, writing a magnificent chapter "Four acres of brilliant land" for Dong Tang Department Store. (Originally published in Changsha People’s Congress Magazine)

Today, standing on the 7th floor of Golden Family, looking out from the window, Dong Tang business circle in late autumn of 2020 is still lively. The construction of the subway station has been basically completed, and the streets are crowded with people.

For an old man like Xiong Wen in Changsha, such a scene made him feel a little sentimental.

Dong Tang in the 1980s.

In the south city of Changsha, the Dong Tang business circle once flourished, bearing the memory of old Changsha. There used to be a reputation of "selling yellow mud can make money", and it also suffered from the embarrassment of declining popularity. "The road to the revival of Dong Tang business circle" has always been a hot topic.

What was the prosperity of Dong Tang business circle? Why did it once decline? Where is the road to its revival?

The east wind came overnight? Here once dominated the evolution theory of Changsha’s business.

In the memory of the old Changsha people, anyone who dabbles in the local business community will never forget the lively and beautiful era of "Fighting with Five Tigers in Changsha" …

In January, 1983, Dong Tang Department Store (the original site of Cash Family) located in the northwest corner of Dong Tang was completed and opened. In the following years, the nearby clothing trading building, cloth market and Changsha Workers’ Cultural Palace were completed and put into operation. Around this small area of Dong Tang, the integration of various formats has gradually formed. At that time, it really started an era of Changsha commerce, and the Dong Tang business circle also took shape.

The completed Dong Tang Department Store.

The salesperson of Dong Tang department store is picking up the goods for the customers.

There is a constant flow of traffic and people coming and going near Dong Tang Department Store.

In the commercial map of Changsha at that time, with the Dong Tang business circle raising the war flag in the southeast, Dong Tang Department Store, Shaoshan Road Department Store, Zhongshan Road Department Store, Xiaoyuan Department Store and Friendship Store at that time, ignited a commercial competition war of "five tigers fighting in Changsha".

Xiaoxiang Cinema at that time

Competition has promoted the development of business, but also brought an opportunity to take off.

Around 1995, a number of Changsha local time-honored brands, such as Friendship Mall, Fire Palace and Xinhua Building, successively settled in Dong Tang, which led to the completion of a large-scale upgrade of the business circle. The Dong Tang business circle and the Wuyi business circle echoed each other from a distance and became the main focus of Changsha’s business in the south of the city.

At this point, the Dong Tang business circle has entered a stage of rapid development-

17 years ago, Tongcheng Electric built a flagship store in Dong Tang, which is known as "the first store in Central China".

In 2004, Tongcheng Electric entered Dong Tang as a flagship store, which is also the largest store of Tongcheng Electric in the province.

In 2005, Dong Tang Metropolis Commercial Street opened, which is the first underground commercial street in Changsha with a total length of 624 meters.

In 2012, Friendship Mall achieved a turnover of 1.3 billion yuan with a business area of 27,000 square meters on the upper and lower floors, ranking first in Hunan’s commerce and trade industry.

With the vigorous development of commerce, in this small area of Dong Tang at that time, the Yuhua District Government embodied strategic and forward-looking policy support and planning guidance, and formed a teaching and training industry around the educational resources of Dong Tang business circle; The cultural tourism industry formed around Xiaoying Group has gradually taken shape. These characteristic industries once formed the basic market of Dong Tang business circle outside commerce. This all-round industrial layout once led the evolution and development of Changsha’s commerce …

Internet e-commerce impacts consumers’ shopping habits are quietly changing.

If you go back to more than ten years ago, if you come to Dong Tang at that time, you will see that the popularity is no less than the lively scene of Wuyi Square or Taiping Street today-

Dong Tang Department Store and Friendship Shopping Mall are separated on both sides of the square, where most famous brands that can be bought in Changsha at that time are gathered. And across the intersection, in the bustling metropolis commercial street and Dong Tang clothing exchange building, you can find all kinds of cheap and fashionable clothing accessories.

As an old-fashioned commercial street, the metropolitan commercial street ushered in its heyday after the Millennium.

According to the memories of merchants who used to do business here, people crowded around Dong Tang every day, and many Changsha citizens even bought clothes and swept the goods with big sacks. "Business will not be interrupted from morning till night. At that time, merchants had to go to the clothing building early every morning to grab goods, and there would be no best-selling styles if they were late. In the metropolitan commercial street and Dong Tang clothing exchange building, all fashionable clothes could be found at that time. Many young people go to Dong Tang to go shopping, eat, buy clothes or trinkets after work or after class … "

The once bustling commercial street in Dong Tang metropolis.

At that time, the Dong Tang business circle has become a rival to the May Day business circle. When it comes to Dong Tang business circle, if the admission of Pinghetang, Dong Tang Department Store and other groups is just a prelude, then the opening of Dong Tang Clothing Exchange Building and Metropolitan Commercial Street is the booster for Dong Tang business circle to reach its peak.

However, no one ever thought that after 2012, the decline of Dong Tang business circle came quietly …

With the popularity of online e-commerce shopping and the upgrading of people’s consumption level and business model, the business of underground commercial streets began to decline. Many shops are promoting sales with various discounts, but few people still patronize them, and their business is still very deserted. Some shops have already posted advertisements for subletting.

"At that time, e-commerce developed rapidly, and many popular styles of clothes were also available online, and the price was cheaper. The popularity here suddenly cooled down. Moreover, compared with other emerging business districts with rapid development and complete facilities in Changsha, the shopping environment of underground commercial streets here is not good. The business in other parts of Changsha is developing, but here in Dong Tang is stagnant … "Zhao Xu, the floor supervisor of Friendship Mall, has lived in Dong Tang for 26 years, and he can’t help but be deeply touched when he sees that the business circle in Dong Tang has grown from bustling to deserted.

Wang Yigao, deputy director, researcher and professor of Hunan Institute of Economic Geography, has lived in Dongtang business circle for more than 20 years. He analyzed the dilemma faced by Dong Tang business circle from a more professional perspective. "Internet e-commerce has a greater impact on physical stores, which has changed people’s consumption patterns and habits to some extent; In addition, shops in Dong Tang business district are generally expensive in rent and lack of functional supporting facilities. The times are developing, and citizens’ demand for shopping conditions and consumption environment is constantly improving. As an old business district, Dong Tang basically has no large underground parking lots, no boulevards for leisure walks, and no squares for fun … "

Professor Wang Yigao also said: Compared with the "Fire Palace" and "Taiping Old Street" with a strong sense of history in the May 1 business district, the Dong Tang business district lacks historical precipitation, which affects the development of diversified business patterns; For a long time, the architectural layout of Dong Tang was also lack of planning, and office buildings, factories, institutions, research institutions and commercial complexes were blindly confused, resulting in a chaotic pattern and mixed roads, which did not form a three-dimensional traffic pattern. All along, the businesses in Dong Tang have been fragmented and have not formed a unified alliance. Coupled with the subway construction in Dong Tang in recent years, various factors have caused the rapid decline of Dong Tang business circle in recent years.

Dong Tang Business Circle, Friendship Shopping Mall, Metropolis Commercial Street … These nouns have accompanied a generation of Changsha people through beautiful memories of youth. However, with the development of the times, the "old business circle" has become a lonely term.

When you make a comeback! Night economy and the "revival" assisted by subway lines

Dong Tang business district is bustling with night.

On June 28th, 2020, Changsha Metro Line 3 along Dong Tang was opened.

In the eyes of some insiders, this is a new opportunity and new kinetic energy for the revival of Dong Tang business circle. However, is it enough to solve the grand proposition of "revival of the old business district" just by a subway line?

Wang Lin, a professor at Central South University, once said in an interview with the media that all businesses in the Dong Tang business circle are fragmented, which has led to the current decline. To revitalize the business circle, we must first conform to the natural development of the economy, and then the guidance of the government.

Some people in the industry also pointed out that if the opening of the subway brings good times to the revival of Dong Tang business circle and Dong Tang’s own location is favorable, then it is necessary to find the "harmony between people" in the revival of business circle, that is, to face the shortcomings of business circle directly, and enterprises and the government should come up with some effective ways to break the situation.

Dong Tang Metropolitan Commercial Street

On July 15th, 2020, Liu Suyue, deputy secretary of Yuhua District Committee and district head, led a team to investigate the surrounding environment of Dong Tang business circle, and visited Golden Family, Xiaoxiang Film Group and other enterprises, and then organized some business representatives from Dong Tang business circle to hold a symposium on the theme of "How to revive Dong Tang business circle".

At the symposium, representatives of Xiaoxiang Film Group, Fire Palace, Golden Family, Pinghetang, SINOMACH International, Tongcheng Electric Appliances, Xinhua Building and other enterprises launched a heated discussion around the "revival" of Dong Tang business circle.

The person in charge of Hunan Xiaoxiang Cultural Industry Investment Co., Ltd. proposed that the Dong Tang business circle is in urgent need of transformation and upgrading! With the arrival of the economic development tide in experience tourism, Xiaoxiang Film Group wants to build an experience city of film and television culture, attract more people to know about film and television culture, and turn it into a "meeting room of film and television culture" in Hunan, so as to drain the business circle and provide a new engine for its development, thus driving the development of the whole business circle.

The relevant person in charge of Friendship Mall said that during the epidemic, the mall launched a series of live online activities, which was a great success. The sales performance in May and June increased by about 3% compared with last year. Through practice, it is found that the influence of live broadcast sales is very strong, so the next step will continue to deepen online channels, and at the same time, fashion brands that young people love will be introduced one after another.

Think about how to transform and upgrade, how to attract consumers, especially young consumers, and how to strengthen linkage, dislocation management and information sharing between businesses?

This is the thinking put forward by Liu Suyue, deputy secretary of Yuhua District Committee and district head, to Dong Tang business circle at this meeting.

Today’s Dong Tang business circle

At the meeting, the specific arrangements made by the Yuhua District Government for the development of Dong Tang business district are also ready to come out: good guidance, good planning, scientific positioning, focusing on Dong Tang’s characteristics and advantages; Plan more activities related to consumption festival according to time nodes, and guide businesses to strengthen linkage consumption and related consumption; It is necessary to take the lead in setting up business alliance institutions and strengthen the linkage between enterprises and governments and between enterprises; With the help of Tik Tok and other new media, strengthen the publicity of Dong Tang business circle; It is necessary to improve the basic supporting facilities of the business circle, strengthen the rectification of advertising spaces, improve the lighting at night, and solve the problem of parking difficulties through the sharing of parking spaces, so as to create a good market environment for the business circle.

There are indications that Dong Tang, the "old business district", seems to have signs of oriental wind. With the comprehensive promotion of Changsha’s "Night Star City" consumption festival and the launch of Yuhua District’s "Slow Nightlife, Meet You" activity, the Dong Tang business circle reappeared after the epidemic.

Dong Tang business circle in the future, just like a young man gearing up, is coming back with a new attitude, which is expected to reproduce the "paradise for shopping and leisure" in Changsha people’s mind.

Spring Festival travel rush, who walked the station in the depths of the mountain at the grassroots level in the Spring Festival, persisted.

  Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou, February 1st Title: Spring Festival travel rush, a station deep in the mountains, sticks to it.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhou Yi

  Zhuyuan Station, located in Shanghang County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, is a fifth-class station on the Ganlong Railway. Here, the peaks are towering, the canyons are faint, there are no passenger trains stopping, no people are busy coming and going, only the small station people silently stick to it.

  On the afternoon of January 29, the reporter bumped along the country path for an hour by car, and then climbed the mountain on foot before coming to the station deep in this mountain. The reporter saw that at the peak of Spring Festival travel rush’s return trip, the platform here was quiet. Liu Youwu, the stationmaster, said that Zhuyuan Station does not handle passenger business, but is only responsible for receiving and dispatching freight trains.

  There are 6 employees in the station, 4 of whom are on duty every day. The youngest is 38 years old. The special nature of railway work determines that station attendant must stick to his post every minute, and everyone takes turns to work in shifts and "seamlessly connect" 24 hours a day. In the duty room of the small station, starting from the planned entry section of the train, report the time, open the signal, and jointly control with the driver … … Every time a train passes, station attendant has to answer the phone for nearly 10 times to confirm every link.

  Liu Youwu told reporters that there is a one-way lane in the interval, and there are two lanes at Zhuyuan Station. If the trains go in opposite directions, they will meet here. By dispatching, one train is allowed to stop temporarily on one track, and then set off after another opposite train passes.

  Liu Youwu, 60, has worked in the railway system for 36 years. When the reporter asked him how he felt about his work in Zhuyuan Station for many years, he said it was boring, but he insisted on it. "There is no signal on the mobile phone and TV on the mountain. I want to go to work more than resting. At least I can hear the driver’s call when I go to work." Liu Youwu said.

  Deep in the mountains, it was already dark before 5 pm. In the night, there is a room and a lamp, and the employees on the job talk to the train driver who is about to arrive from time to time. "The personnel on duty can’t read books and newspapers, and safety must be guaranteed. Doing other things will be distracting." On the same day, station attendant Chen Jie said, "The hardest thing is the night shift. You can’t be a little confused. If you are sleepy, you will wash your face with cold water and turn around to refresh yourself. If you are sleepy, you will have to overcome it."

  After the shift, Chen Jie touched the flashlight and went out, along the long rail, drifting away into the boundless night.

  "The station staff should patrol a circle of lines before going to bed every day to see if there are any foreign bodies invading and if there are any small animals affecting the equipment. In winter, the wind is strong in the mountains. Standing on the bridge, we often joke that if we don’t eat fat, it will be blown away by the wind. " Luo Mouzhen, deputy stationmaster of Yuyuan Station, said.

  Early the next morning, Liu Youwu came down from the mountain and went shopping as usual. "Although Zhuyuan Station is a railway station, the traffic is inconvenient. Every time everyone wants to go down the mountain, then take the bus to the town more than 10 kilometers away to buy food and prepare the ingredients for the week. " Liu Youwu said that in order to let employees eat fresh vegetables, he also reclaimed a vegetable field on the mountain and watered and weeded it in his spare time.

  The station is located in the ravine, and the conditions are difficult. Every time the station staff go to work, they need to take the bullet train to Gutian Meeting Site Railway Station, which is 20 kilometers away from the station, and then take the township bus for half an hour to reach Zhuyuan Village, and it will take a long mountain road to reach the small station. Some employees have several scars on their hands and legs, which are caused by slipping and falling on the hillside in rainy days. "Some people once almost rolled into the valley, but fortunately, they caught the weeds on the side in time to save their lives." Luo Mouzhen said.

  In addition, there is no running water in the station, and washing and cooking rely on a spring water flowing out of a stone crack on the top of the mountain. The staff of the station will go to the water source every two days to clean up the sundries and ensure the safety of drinking water.

  When the reporter asked them how they persisted, the staff of the station said that although they did not transport passengers, it was particularly meaningful to think that coal, spring ploughing fertilizer and other materials in the mountains were dispatched through their intersection and then transported out of the mountains.

  Near retirement, stationmaster Liu Youwu ushered in his last Spring Festival travel rush. For every plant and tree in the station, he has already had a constant feeling of giving up. This year, his biggest thought is still to stand on the last shift. "In Spring Festival travel rush this year, the number of freight trains has increased, and more than 30 trains have to be on duty day and night. The task of small stations is not easy, especially when the weather is cooling and the mountains are prone to freezing. Be more careful at this time."

  During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, whenever he received the order to pick up the car, Liu Youwu would wait quietly on the platform with a flag in both hands. Trains galloping in the distance pass by here, bringing the persistence and love of the station people to the distance.

Copy their credit records to the "Sichuan Real Estate Development Enterprise Credit System" and "Chengdu Credit Network" for exposure, and list relevant illegal enterprises and employees in the "blacklist" of Chengdu real estate industry credit.

  Chengdu Housing Management Bureau hopes that all real estate development enterprises will take a warning, earnestly fulfill their corporate social responsibilities, carry out self-examination and self-correction in a timely manner in strict accordance with real estate-related laws and regulations and real estate market regulation policies, so as to operate in accordance with the law, operate in good faith, and conduct fair and just transactions, and jointly promote the stable and healthy development of Chengdu’s real estate market.

Read China for ten years | The scale of foreign trade has reached a new high and new breakthroughs have been continuously achieved.

  Since the beginning of this year, China’s foreign trade has withstood the pressure and shown strong resilience: in the first 11 months, the total import and export value of goods trade was 37.96 trillion yuan, achieving positive growth year-on-year for two consecutive months, and the stabilization trend continued to consolidate.

  As one of the "Troika" driving economic growth, foreign trade plays an important role in driving consumption, expanding employment and promoting economic growth.

  In 2018 and 2022, the scale of foreign trade has successively passed the 30 trillion yuan and 40 trillion yuan mark. Since 2017, it has maintained its position as the largest country in goods trade for six consecutive years, and the trade volume of goods with countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" has increased by 8% annually & hellip; … Since the new era, China’s foreign trade development has continuously achieved new breakthroughs.

  "It is necessary to speed up the transition from a big trading country to a strong trading country, consolidate the traditional advantages of foreign trade, cultivate new competitive advantages, expand the development space of foreign trade and actively expand imports." On December 5, 2014, during the 19th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out the direction for promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade.

  Since the new era, China’s position in global trade has improved significantly — —

  During the decade from 2013 to 2022, a series of data confirmed the solid pace of China’s foreign trade development: in 2020, the total trade in goods and services surpassed the United States for the first time and became the largest trading country in the world; The import and export scale of cross-border e-commerce in China has increased from 1 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2 trillion yuan in 2022, entering a period of rapid development; In 2022, the international market share of exports further increased to 14.7%, ranking first in the world for 14 consecutive years … …

  "The steadily expanding scale, continuously optimized structure and increasing international market share all confirm that the high-quality development of China’s foreign trade is fast and steady." Zhuang Rui, Executive Dean of university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics, said that China is advancing from a big trading country to a powerful trading country, which has provided strong support for stabilizing the macro-economic market.

  The quality and efficiency of China’s foreign trade have been continuously improved, and new kinetic energy has been continuously released — —

  The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference clearly pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade, consolidate the basic disk of foreign trade and foreign capital, and expand intermediate trade, service trade, digital trade and cross-border e-commerce export.

  In recent years, the "new three kinds" represented by electric manned vehicles, solar cells and lithium batteries have become hot words in the field of foreign trade, and they are the representatives of accelerating the upgrading of foreign trade. In 2022, the export growth rate of China’s electric manned vehicles, solar cells, lithium batteries and other green and low-carbon products all exceeded 60%, and the new export kinetic energy grew rapidly.

  Since the new era, the vitality of China’s foreign trade entities has been effectively stimulated by accelerating reform and innovation, smoothing logistics channels, continuously optimizing the business environment at ports, and increasing support for small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2022, the number of foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance increased by 5.6% over the previous year. Among them, private enterprises gradually grew into the "main force" of foreign trade, accounting for more than half of the annual import and export scale for the first time, and contributing 80.8% to China’s foreign trade growth.

  China’s foreign trade "friend circle" has been further expanded — —

  In addition to maintaining close ties with traditional market trading partners, China is also actively exploring emerging markets such as ASEAN, Africa, Latin America and Central Asia. From 2013 to October 2023, the total import and export volume of China and the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" exceeded 21 trillion US dollars. Among them, in terms of RMB, China’s import and export to co-construction countries increased by 19.4% year-on-year in 2022, accounting for 32.9% of China’s total foreign trade value, up by 3.2 percentage points; Imports and exports to other member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) increased by 7.5% year-on-year; Exports to Africa and Latin America increased by 14.8% and 14.1% respectively.

  Zhang Yu, director of the International Economic and Trade Research Office of the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that while adhering to a high level of opening up, the effective implementation of RCEP and the continuous expansion of the "Belt and Road" and "friends circle" have opened up new space for deepening foreign trade development. In addition, international economic and trade events including Service Trade Fair, Consumer Expo, Canton Fair and China International Import Expo(CIIE) have also opened new channels for foreign trade transformation and upgrading.

  At present, the external environment is turbulent, economic factors and non-economic factors are intertwined, and China’s foreign trade development still faces many difficulties and challenges. In response to this situation, China has continuously strengthened top-level design and continuously improved its foreign trade policy system.

  The General Office of the State Council has successively issued a series of important documents, such as Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovative Development of Foreign Trade, Opinions on Promoting the Stable Scale and Excellent Structure of Foreign Trade, and Several Measures on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade, which further clarified the path and direction for cultivating new formats, building a platform system, deepening reform and opening up, and creating a legalized, international and convenient trade environment.

  Zhuang Rui said: China’s foreign trade and industrial fields are constantly advancing in system innovation, scientific and technological innovation, mode innovation and format innovation. Under this background, it is very important to deepen the domestic market and explore the international market to further improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade. Facing the complicated and severe international situation, China should give full play to the positive role of foreign trade in building a new development pattern and bring more warmth and dividends to the world economy.

Ninghai practice of "running at most once" reform

Ninghai county administrative examination and approval management office (hereinafter referred to as Ninghai county audit management office), formerly known as Ninghai county people’s government accreditation center (renamed Ninghai county administrative service center in December 2003), was formally established in April 2008. Since its establishment, Ninghai County Audit Office has adhered to the working philosophy of "satisfying the people is our pursuit", adhering to the service tenet of "convenience, standardization, high efficiency and honesty", based on the service brand of "heart-to-hand connection and unlimited service", taking the convenience of investors and serving the masses of enterprises as the value orientation, and implementing the operation mode of centralized management and window office. At present, the building area of the administrative service hall is 22,050 square meters, and there are 246 staff members, with an annual average of more than 500,000 pieces. It has successively won the honorary titles of Zhejiang Advanced Grass-roots Party Organization, Zhejiang Outstanding Youth Civilization, Zhejiang Civilized Unit, and National Women’s Civilized Post, and has been called the "government supermarket" in Ninghai.

As an important carrier of service-oriented government construction, in recent years, according to the requirements of the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform of the central government and the "Four Clears and One Net" reform of Zhejiang Province, Ninghai County Audit and Management Office has been innovative and brave in exploration, and has effectively improved the efficiency of examination and approval services through measures such as process reengineering, simulated examination and approval, dynamic management, filling in gaps and joint examination and approval. On January 16th, 2017, since Zhejiang Province put forward the reform of "running at most once", Ninghai County Audit and Management Office closely followed the pulse of the times, quickly completed the reform of "accepting and integrating services in one window" with the spirit of nailing nails, announced the power items of "running at most once" administrative examination and approval, actively created an upgraded version of the reform of administrative examination and approval system, and promoted the implementation of the reform of "running at most once" to get the reform bonus as soon as possible. On March 13th, 2017, Ninghai County Audit Office’s advanced experience, Ninghai County’s Creation of "Ten Running Methods" and Accelerating the Reform of "Running Once at Most", was affirmed by Mayor Qiu Dongyao of Ningbo City, and then published in a special issue in the General Office of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Government, and reported to the State Council. Media such as Ningbo Daily, Ningbo News and Zhejiang Daily have reported advanced practices many times.

First, innovate and continue to deepen the reform of the administrative examination and approval system

1 to promote the reform of administrative examination and approval functions. Since 2008, the Audit Office of Ninghai County has carried out the reform of administrative examination and approval functions with the main goal of "two centralization and two in place", that is, the examination and approval functions of functional departments are centralized in one department, and the administrative examination and approval department is centralized in the examination and approval service hall, and the examination and approval projects of functional departments are centralized in the administrative service center window, and the approval authorization of functional departments to the person in charge of the window is in place. All departments have set up or listed administrative examination and approval departments, and entered the window of the administrative service hall in an organizational system. All the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs have arrived at their posts, and the authorization is in place, which has achieved the purpose of one leader in charge, one pen signing and approving, one window opening to the outside world and one-stop service, and completely solved the problems of accepting at both ends and the masses running at both ends. At present, there are 34 departmental windows in Ninghai County Administrative Service Center, 20 independent windows, 11 comprehensive windows and 3 sub-centers.

2. Promote the construction of Ninghai platform of government service network. In March, 2014, according to the unified deployment of Zhejiang provincial government, the construction of "four clean sheets and one net" was launched in an all-round way (list of government power, negative list of enterprise investment, list of financial special funds management, list of government responsibilities, Ninghai platform of Zhejiang government service network), and Ninghai County Audit Management Office was responsible for sorting out the "three and a half items" of audit power list (administrative license, administrative confirmation, audit report and annual inspection, filing and other approval rights in other administrative powers). At present, a total of 1016 items of "three and a half" examination and approval power have been determined in the county. Except for 16 items that meet the requirements and are not allowed to enter the administrative service hall, all 1000 items have entered the window, with a occupancy rate of 100%. Of the 1,000 "three-and-a-half" examination and approval power items stationed, except for 13 authorizations, 987 authorizations were in place, and the on-site handling rate reached 98.7%. Dynamically manage the speed-up of administrative examination and approval in each window, and "force" each window to improve service efficiency and speed up examination and approval. At present, the total promised processing advance rate of the administrative service hall is 87.47%, and the actual processing advance rate remains above 98%.

3. Promote the reform of "one-window acceptance and integrated service". Since 2017, the Audit Office of Ninghai County has actively played the role of the main channel of the administrative service center, actively promoted the reform of "running at most once" and "accepting and integrating services in one window", rearranged the existing windows of the administrative service center according to the principles of "doing one thing in one window" and "relatively separating the right to accept and the right to review and decide", implemented the comprehensive acceptance staff, and implemented "one person with multiple posts and multiple functions in one post". Integrate the original layout with a single department as the window into six categories of comprehensive service processing areas, including capital construction projects, commercial registration, real estate registration, public security services, public security exit-entry management, and social and people’s livelihood affairs. Enterprises can handle multi-departmental matters without running errands to and from multiple department windows. For example, real estate registration originally needed to run errands in the three departments of housing management, finance and taxation, and real estate. Now, you only need to run a window of ownership registration to complete the examination and approval at one time, which will boost the reform goal of "running at most once".

4. Promote postal express service in the window. The introduction of postal courier companies into the window of the administrative service center, for matters that cannot be declared online, on the basis of voluntary principle, entrusts postal courier companies to carry out the express delivery service of licenses. Applicants only need to sign a delivery agreement and fill out a delivery application, and the postal courier companies can deliver the licenses to the door, "turning the masses into express delivery". At the same time, the qualified departments are encouraged to subsidize the reduction or preferential treatment of license express delivery fees in the form of "government pays the bill". Up to now, 15,157 pieces of accounting qualification certificates and entry and exit certificates have been sent by postal courier company. At the same time, we will actively create five special services, such as "no holiday" service, "nanny-style" agency, "zero distance" site, "through-train" express service and "no lunch break" work.

Two, self revolution, strictly regulate the administrative examination and approval service process.

1. Standardize the industry joint examination and approval standards. We will fully implement the joint examination and approval standards for 16 industries, including bathing, maintenance and management of Class I motor vehicles, transportation, hotels, small and medium-sized restaurants, culture and entertainment, overseas satellite TV, large supermarkets, film screening, swimming pools, automobile beauty, agriculture (fishing) music, hotels, hairdressers, cafes and foot baths, with the lead window taking the lead according to the mode of "one window for acceptance, internal circulation and one window for delivery". For example, in the homestay industry, it used to be necessary to run five departmental windows, such as fire protection, public security, environmental protection, health and family planning, and market supervision. Now, you only need to run one departmental window of public security to get all the documents, which effectively realizes the reform goal of "running at most once".

2. Standardize regional joint examination and approval standards. Innovative implementation of cross-project, cross-departmental and cross-plot linkage approval mode, the "Implementation Measures for Regional Joint Approval of Investment Projects in Ninghai County (Trial)" was introduced, and the province took the lead in piloting regional joint approval of investment projects. All the investment projects in the industrial base of "Two Zones and Eight Parks" will be regarded as one project, and the pre-approval procedures such as planning environmental impact assessment, soil and water conservation plan and industrial planning of the whole region will be worked out in a "packaged" way in advance. For the designated projects settled in the region, the procedures for filing will be implemented first, which will simplify the approval procedures for individual projects. Taking the industrial park as a unit, the planning indicators such as greening rate, floor area ratio, building density, parking spaces and civil air defense facilities are planned as a whole, and the "single check" is changed into "regional overall check", which breaks through the limitation of land use, improves the yield per mu and achieves overall coordination and balance. Effectively reduce the examination and approval links and reduce the number of runs.

3. Standardize the preconditions for administrative examination and approval. In order to solve the problem of "difficult and troublesome work", in 2015, Ninghai County Audit and Management Office carried out a special clean-up work on certification materials in the field of people’s livelihood, and found out 86 certificates required, and urged all departments to cancel 23 illegal and unreasonable certificates and temporarily keep 63 items. In the special supervision activity of finding out "difficult matters for grassroots people to handle affairs", it was affirmed by Mao Linsheng, party secretary and deputy director of the Standing Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Congress. In 2016, Ninghai County Audit Office cleaned up the pre-condition materials of 1016 examination and approval power matters in the county, and cancelled 29 pre-intermediary services of 158 administrative examination and approval, accounting for 18.35%; 159 pre-condition materials such as certificates and seals, 77 items were cancelled, accounting for 48.43%; 55 Pre-condition material cover clauses, 32 items were cancelled, accounting for 58.18%. Reduce the phenomenon of repeated provision and repeated provision of materials, effectively solve the strange phenomenon of "approval for approval", reduce the burden on enterprises and reduce the number of errands.

4. Standardize the operation mechanism of administrative examination and approval. Give full play to the gathering function of the administrative service center, innovate the examination and approval operation mechanism, implement the examination and approval mode of "one acceptance, copying and reporting, joint examination and completion within a time limit", establish and improve the joint examination and approval mechanism of investment projects, and establish the "6+1" consultation, "8+X" joint examination and hierarchical coordination mechanism. In the process of investment project examination and approval service, straighten out the business circulation relationship, and complete the project examination and approval in a "one-time" and "one-stop" way through joint meetings, joint reconnaissance, joint map examination and departmental linkage, so as to improve the examination and approval efficiency.

Third, follow the trend and boldly use "Internet+government services"

1 to promote the construction of a unified administrative power operation system. In March 2014, the construction of Ninghai platform of Zhejiang government service network was started. On June 25 of the same year, the platform was displayed to the public and became a collection platform carrying four lists and public service lists. In June 2015, the unified administrative power operation system of Ninghai platform was officially put into operation online, and all the "three and a half" administrative examination and approval power items were accepted online. In 2016, the extension of Ninghai Platform to townships (streets) and villages (communities) was completed, and 118 items of power in townships (streets) and 49 items in villages (communities) were pushed. A three-level linkage network approval platform connecting 18 township (street) convenience service centers, 363 village-level convenience service centers and 28 community service centers will be built, and a cross-level background approval circulation mechanism will be established, so that enterprises can realize "running at most once" at their doorstep.

2. Promote the superposition effect of "internet plus" approval. Since 2017, 864 items of "running at most once" in 33 administrative examination and approval functional departments in the county have been sorted out, accounting for 85.04% of the total, and the goal of reaching 80% by the end of the year proposed by the provincial government has been completed ahead of schedule. There are five ways to achieve "running at most once", namely: 151 items to be done immediately, accounting for 17.48%; Window declaration, 346 items of express delivery, accounting for 40.05%; Online declaration, pre-trial, window verification and picking up 354 items, accounting for 40.97%; The whole process of online bidding, express delivery of 6 items, accounting for 0.69%; The whole process of online bidding, online pick-up items 7, accounting for 0.81%. According to local conditions, the pilot will be carried out first, and 12 towns and villages, such as central village, island village, Gaoshan village and satellite city, will be selected to build demonstration sites, and terminals will be added to build a "full coverage" government service system combining online and offline. Combined with "online intermediary supermarket", online joint examination of construction drawings, mobile phone approval, etc., give full play to the multiple effect of administrative examination and approval. Do your best to let the masses run less and run more information.

3. Promote the construction of online approval and supervision platform for investment projects. Relying on Ninghai platform of Zhejiang government service network, a unified framework, norms and standards, vertical and horizontal linkage investment project approval and supervision platform was developed, which was officially put into use on August 22, 2016. All matters that need the signature and seal of government departments in the whole process of investment projects from registration and coding to completion acceptance were included in the platform operation, so as to realize the smooth operation of the whole network of the platform. When an investment project is approved, it is uniformly coded by the window of the development and reform department as the unique identity of the whole project construction cycle. All investment projects are uniformly approved on the online approval and supervision platform of investment projects, and subsequent approval departments identify relevant approval information by project codes, effectively breaking the departmental information barrier and avoiding the phenomenon that project owners repeatedly provide and repeatedly provide pre-approval results.

4. Promote the construction of video workstations in virtual halls. Upgrade WeChat WeChat official account, purchase a video terminal, and create the first video workstation for consultation and consultation in the virtual hall in the province. For the popular matters of investment projects, industrial and commercial registration and other enterprises, by clicking on the matters to be handled in the virtual hall, the video will automatically connect to the approval window, and the window staff will provide remote guidance to solve problems, so as to build a service system in which the project owner and the approver can seamlessly connect, and reduce the number of errands for investment projects. At the same time, the WeChat pre-approval service is implemented. The enterprise masses download the form on WeChat WeChat official account and upload the approval materials through WeChat. The window staff pre-examine the materials provided by the applicant, and complete the approval if the materials meet the requirements. The enterprise masses can lead the relevant licenses on the spot as long as they run the window once to check the original.

Four, the courage to fight, explore the development path of administrative examination and approval services.

1. Reengineering the investment project approval process. In order to solve the problems of many preconditions, many examination links, many examination departments, long examination and approval time, and "difficult and troublesome examination and approval". The Implementation Measures for Optimizing the Examination and Approval Process of Investment Projects in Ninghai County was promulgated, and the examination and approval services within the jurisdiction of investment projects were reduced from 42 to 24, and the cumulative time for examination and approval was reduced to 40 days. In view of the phenomenon that small and micro projects in rural areas have less investment but the same number of approval links, it is decided to change the village-level projects that do not involve government funds from the approval system to the filing system, that is, from the original three links of proposal approval, feasibility study report approval and preliminary design approval to the filing one link for approval.

2. Simulated examination and approval of innovative investment projects. The Implementation Opinions on Simulated Examination and Approval of Investment Projects in Ninghai County was issued. On the basis of consultation and demonstration on the feasibility construction of investment projects, simulated examination and approval were carried out for investment projects with mature conditions in the early stage, and the land was deemed to have been obtained. After the planning scheme was determined, the examination and approval methods such as pre-examination, pre-examination and pre-intervention were implemented to speed up the examination and approval. In the same examination and approval process, pre-examination and pre-investigation shall be carried out to separate the technical elements from the procedural elements. If the technical elements basically meet the examination and approval requirements, a simulated examination and approval opinion shall be issued; In different examination and approval links, advance examination and approval shall be implemented, disrupting the pre-approval methods in the inherent examination and approval procedures, and some pre-approval shall not be regarded as the necessary conditions for post-approval; In the whole examination and approval process, we should intervene in advance, and after completing the pre-examination, budget review, planning review and other related links, we should intervene in advance in bidding to realize the early implementation of one or several monomers.

3. Implement efficient examination and approval of industrial projects. From the preparation of planning conditions before land listing, the preparation of land transfer scheme to the handling of construction permit, the methods of "early intervention" and "parallel approval" are adopted for enterprises’ investment intention projects, and the project-related simulation approval and land bidding, auction and hanging are carried out simultaneously, and all approval processes are completed in 94 working days, including 29 working days for administrative approval and 65 working days for intermediary service, creating a full flow chart of 100-day efficient approval for industrial social investment projects.

4. Promote joint measurement and joint completion acceptance of industrial investment projects. The "Notice on Implementing Joint Surveying and Mapping for Construction Project Completion" was issued, and the "Three Surveying in One" system was implemented for investment projects. The Implementation Plan for Joint Acceptance of Industrial Social Investment Projects in Ninghai County (Trial) was issued, and the operation method of combining pre-test with joint acceptance was implemented.

5. Innovate the linkage mechanism of intermediary services. Establish "pre-intermediary service area involving investment project approval" and "online service supermarket involving pre-intermediary approval", and publish intermediary service catalogue. Research and develop intermediary service monitoring system, and integrate intermediary service into electronic monitoring system to implement "dynamic management". Strengthen the communication and contact between examination and approval departments, intermediaries and project owners, form a seamless connection between examination and approval departments, intermediaries and owners, and form a tripartite linkage mechanism. The advanced practices have been affirmed by Vice Governor Zhu Congjiu.

6. Carry out agency services for investment projects. Establish a county agency service center for the whole process of investment projects, set up an agency studio, implement full-time agents, establish a county, township (street) two-level agency service system, formulate the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Agency Service for the Whole Process of Investment Project Approval in Ninghai County", refine the agency and assistance mechanism, determine a special person to be responsible for tracking the progress of project approval, hold regular work meetings, supervise the progress of approval every month, and seamlessly connect investment projects by means of departmental linkage and on-site centralized service. Ensure that "information is submitted in time, approval is approved in time, and approval is not divorced", provide "shop assistant" service for administrative approval of investment projects, and speed up the construction of investment projects.

Fifth, help each other in the same boat and get through the "last mile" of serving the masses of enterprises

1. Introduce OSM site management standardization. The OSM site management system of Hong Kong Site Management Institute was introduced, and the management standards of personnel, space, articles, equipment, information and waste were formulated, and standardized management was implemented, so that the overall image of the window was obviously improved and the working environment of the masses was obviously improved.

2. Implement the third-party telephone return visit system. Entrust the third party of telecom to pay a return visit to the examination and approval service results, publish them in the monthly inspection report in time, and give feedback and suggestions. At the same time, we will increase the assessment of the satisfaction of the masses, and include the assessment of the satisfaction of the masses in the monthly and annual assessment of the window. At present, the satisfaction rate of telephone return visits is over 99.6%.

3. Strengthen window management inspection inspectors. Through daily supervision, weekly inspection, monthly assessment and annual assessment, the management assessment of staff and department windows is scientifically set up and implemented. Take the initiative to listen to the opinions and suggestions of all parties through issuing service object evaluation forms, in-depth investigation of enterprises and grassroots units. By hiring supervisors of morals, consulting opinions regularly, and widely accepting social supervision. Through the whole process supervision of electronic monitoring system, problems can be found and corrected in time, and the management of administrative service center can be strengthened from all channels, in an all-round and three-dimensional way.

4. Strengthen the evaluation of window departments. A series of institutional measures, such as the Implementation Measures for the Service Assessment of Ninghai County Administrative Service Center, the Interim Measures for Investigating the Fault Responsibility of Window Staff, and the Service Star Appraisal Measures, were issued, and the administrative examination and approval service of window departments was included in the work target management assessment, with an assessment score of 3 points, which effectively strengthened the window management.

Ministry of Transport: Focus on seven major areas to formulate detailed prevention and control measures in Spring Festival travel rush.

       CCTV News:The Ministry of Transport recently issued the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Epidemic in Passenger Stations and Means of Transportation in Spring Festival travel rush in 2021", focusing on seven areas such as road passenger transport, urban public buses and trams, urban rail transit and waterway passenger transport, and formulating detailed epidemic prevention and control measures from five aspects such as disinfection, ventilation, transportation organization, personnel protection and publicity.

       In view of the characteristics of increased personnel flow and increased risk of epidemic spread during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the Spring Festival travel rush Guide improved the prevention and control standards, made prevention and control by districts and levels, and comprehensively improved and strengthened prevention and control measures. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the disinfection frequency of passenger stations and means of transport should be appropriately increased. Strengthen the registration of passenger information, and fully implement the registration of real-name tickets for passengers on Class I and Class II passenger lines and inter-provincial and inter-city chartered passengers. Check the health code of passengers entering the road and waterway passenger station comprehensively, and provide services such as checking the health code on behalf of the elderly, children and other passengers who can’t use or don’t have smart phones, and assisting in filling in information. Temporary observation areas should be set up for 10 or more inter-provincial passenger vehicles and passenger ships, and the passenger load factors in high, medium and low-risk areas should not exceed 50%, 70% and 90% respectively. At the same time, strengthen the health monitoring and protection of employees, guide passengers to travel in the wrong peak, and take protective measures such as wearing masks, hand hygiene and "one-meter line" during various public transport.

In the photo of Yutu No.2, the Moon Palace "Yutu" accompanied you for the New Year.

CCTV News:This year is the Year of the Rabbit, and the fate of "Rabbit" and China in exploring space is really not shallow. Speaking of China’s lunar exploration, in the Chang ‘e project, the Yutu lunar rover brought us too many surprises.

On the occasion of the Lunar Year of the Rabbit, China’s lunar exploration space rabbit released its official Chinese and English names, namely "Rabbit Star" in Chinese and "To star" in English. "Rabbit Star" means "Jade Rabbit patrols the moon and sails the Milky Way". The lunar rover No.3 and No.4 in China is named "Jade Rabbit", and the name of "Rabbit Star" expresses its space characteristics and initial mission.

       The English name "To star" means that our journey is a sea of stars. The design of "Rabbit Star" itself embodies the integration of traditional culture and space science and technology, entrusts the Chinese nation’s dream of exploring the moon for thousands of years, and expresses the lofty vision of China’s space flight to the deep space of the universe in the new era.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Rabbit, the Yutu-2 lunar rover in China’s lunar exploration project sent back the latest photographic works from the moon 380,000 kilometers away and sent a New Year greeting.

CCTV reporter Li Ning:During the Chinese New Year, there will still be many people sticking to their jobs, including the Yutu-2 lunar rover, which is conducting (scientific) exploration on the back of the moon 380,000 kilometers away. I am now in the operation control and scientific operation center of the ground application system of the National Astronomical Observatory, and this image from the moon seen in the picture is the latest return of Yutu II lunar rover. Above, we can see that the topography of the moon is bumpy. This is the rut mark that Yutu-2 has traveled. It climbed a hill in this area, and then it began to enter a relatively gentle road, and you can see very clear rut marks.

CCTV reporter Li Ning:The rut mark is next to an impact crater. How does it avoid it in this process? How to design a route for it?

Li Chunlai, deputy chief designer of the third phase of the lunar exploration project:The walking route of Yutu-2 is to get the position in front with its own navigation camera, and we have to restore and analyze a terrain before we can decide where it goes. It has a climbing ability of 20 to 30 degrees, but we find that the soil on the moon is loose, so we won’t walk in this extreme condition, and we also hope that its loss will be smaller and safer.

At present, Yutu-2 is located in the north-west direction of the landing site, with a linear distance of about 800 meters. The state of the lunar rover and the scientific load on it is all normal. During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit, researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory will work overtime with Yutu II to continue the lunar exploration.

Li Chunlai, deputy chief designer of the third phase of the lunar exploration project:We will also spend the New Year with Yutu II, and wish Yutu II great success in the new year.

Ouyang Ziyuan, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, First Chief Scientist of Lunar Exploration Project;I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Rabbit and all the best. The Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace will make greater achievements and make contributions to our lunar explorers.

Ground application system team of lunar exploration project:Jade Rabbit will accompany you in the Year of the Rabbit, and I wish you all the best.

How do merchants do instant retailing? One article clarifies the controversy and value.

Produce/browse the business

Author/Xue Xiang

Recently, two real-time retail data have attracted the attention of a glance at business.

One is that in a recent sharing, Xu Lingna, general manager of over the rainbow Lingzhi Mathematics Department, revealed that online sales in over the rainbow have soared in the past three years, accounting for nearly 30% of the total, while 20% of online sales in over the rainbow actually came from the time when stores closed from 10 pm to 9 am the next day. That is to say, the online instant retail in over the rainbow not only transferred the offline sales to online, but also obtained additional orders.

On the other hand, according to the data of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, in the past year, 67.2% of convenience store visitors decreased compared with last year, but in the case of declining passenger flow, the overall sales of convenience stores changed in the opposite direction. In 2022, the total sales of 64.1% convenience store enterprises still increased year-on-year, one of the main reasons was that they did instant retailing.

Actually,Both over the rainbow and convenience stores are the first batch of instant retail players, and they are pathfinders who have made achievements. Nowadays, more and more platforms and businesses begin to enter this track, and the industry has more and more different views on it.

dispute

Everything is divided into two parts, and the growth of any new thing is accompanied by controversy, and instant retailing is no exception.

After communicating with a number of retail industry practitioners, a glance at the business found that merchants’ worries about instant retailing are mainly reflected in the impact of mature retailers on husband and wife department stores after entering the network, as well as the order distribution of ordinary stores and pre-warehouses. The first batch of instant retail stores have made profits, so it is time to clarify the causes of the dispute and seek solutions.

Online retailing is the true mapping of offline commerce, and the competition between Shangchao convenience store and couples grocery store will certainly exist for a long time.

Consumers are used to online consumption, and this habit is irreversible. As the data at the beginning of the article shows, in the past year, the passenger flow of offline physical stores has been affected, and couples department stores are no exception. When supermarkets, convenience stores and other mature formats, relying on their own capital, technology and traffic advantages, transform to online in advance, the pressure on mom-and-pop stores is even greater.

Indeed, in front of offline mature retailers such as supermarkets, convenience stores, collection stores and discount stores, mom-and-pop stores will naturally be considered weak. At the same time, take-away food has a wider range of radiation, and stores in different blocks are likely to be placed on the same plane for competition. Therefore, it is easy to think that the online increase of supermarkets and convenience stores is obtained by seizing the market share of mom-and-pop stores.

This view has some truth, but obviously underestimates the vitality of the mom-and-pop shop.

First, instant retailing, no matter how to expand its business scope, will not let small stores compete with national brands, which is a local format after all. As long as it belongs to local retail, there will always be a place for couples’ shops, and no one knows the local ecology better than them.

Second, mature retailers often come into contact with new models more quickly, and competition will return to the same starting line after couples’ department stores join instant retailing. With the help of various online business tools, community stores can gain insight into demand faster and stock up flexibly.

Regarding the competition between ordinary stores and front warehouses, we believe that the two formats are dislocation competition and can coexist completely.

Whether it is an "amphibious" store or an online store, it is formed under the impetus of the outbreak of demand and the prosperity of supply. The core of instant retailing is local supply, and consumers will feel convenient only if the coverage rate of businesses in a certain area reaches a certain standard. Taking Meituan as an example, before the launch of new supply projects, some merchants started the pre-warehouse business spontaneously.

Besides,In a glance at the business, this kind of "pre-warehouse" and offline-oriented community stores, although there is competition, are more of a misplaced competitive relationship.

For these small shops, the front warehouse does not have the offline sales function, and many online orders of small shops are the increment brought by expanding the business radius, which does not affect the offline business. Consumers who used to visit small stores may also increase their shopping frequency because of the "home delivery" service. For community stores, the setting of online "starting price" will also increase the unit price of customers.

No matter in terms of product selection, service mode or customer acquisition method, the husband and wife shop can well adapt to the local people’s life and consumption habits, and can also be connected to the community group purchase to become a "group leader", flexibly expanding more convenient services, including making breakfast, receiving express delivery, printing faxes, weighing, and even walking dogs instead of surrounding residents.

value

The above problems mostly point to the possible competition between instant retailers. A glance at the business believes that online and offline integration is an inevitable trend. Instead of worrying about competition and opposition, businesses should study how to adapt to changes and give full play to their comparative advantages.

At present, instant retailing originates from the elimination of instant consumer demand. Thanks to the development of physical retailing in China, both the supply and demand sides are in the stage of increasing and expanding. As the report of the Ministry of Commerce recently predicted, instant retailing will cover more application scenarios.

First of all, the epidemic, e-commerce, pre-warehouse, and community group buying have made consumers more lazy. Changes in consumption habits have forced physical retail to enter the network, making home delivery a retail standard.

Secondly,The theme of retail has always been to reduce costs, improve efficiency and make consumers get more convenient services. The essence of the Internet platform is connectivity, which can match transactions by reducing the information gap. This is the case with the most prosperous online e-commerce in the past two decades. The traditional e-commerce supported by social logistics has become the Red Sea, and instant retailing is a new opportunity for physical stores, the main body that failed to profit from e-commerce in the past.

Finally, the first wave of merchants who have joined instant retailing have begun to get dividends, and the speed of merchants accessing the network will be faster and faster. Taking convenience stores as an example, the take-out ratio of the head stores of Henan Yuelai Yuexi can reach about 30%, which probably brings about a 50% increase. Instant retail orders for fresh food in Wuhan Today convenience store increased by 90%. At first, online orders were only 2,000+a month, and now there are more than 10,000 orders a month.

Wu Teng, vice president of Hebei 36524 convenience store, told a typical example. There are seven stores similar to them on a street in Shijiazhuang, and the latest order they took over was placed 30 meters across the road, and the delivery distance was no more than 100 meters. They bought iced drinks and snacks. If they don’t provide instant retail, this order will definitely miss them.

Under such circumstances, only doing a single channel has become a disadvantage. Even for large-scale chain retail enterprises, the outlets are dense enough, but it is inconvenient for consumers to come out or even want to come out, so they can only watch the orders fly away.

Therefore, a glance at the business believes that,For businesses that have set foot on instant retail ships, we should continue to adhere to and operate for a long time. For businesses that have not started to do instant retail online, we should shelve the debate and actively transform with reference to the operating experience of the first wave of online businesses.Moreover, from the commercial point of view, joining at this time also has advantages that the first wave of mature retailers do not have.

On the one hand, after years of development, the instant retail platform has developed a perfect digital system, which can enable small-scale community stores and small supermarkets to quickly access the network at low cost, saving a lot of technical investment;

On the other hand, the change of consumer habits means that the early stage of consumer education has ended. At this time, going online can not only expand the coverage of small stores, but also reduce the marginal cost of rent by adding new orders.

In addition, local supply is the foundation of real-time retail, and the key for physical stores to do real-time retail is to keep up with the real-time needs of local consumers. This is also a huge advantage for the mom-and-pop shop, which is already in the community and familiar with the surrounding environment.

Finally, let’s look at a set of news:

This year’s No.1 Document of the Central Committee mentioned instant retailing for the first time, pointing out that "the construction of county commercial system should be comprehensively promoted. Accelerate the improvement of county and rural e-commerce and express logistics distribution systems, build county-level collection and distribution centers, promote the integration of rural passenger and postal services, and vigorously develop new models such as joint distribution and instant retail. "

According to the estimation of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, from 2020 to 2021, the annual growth rate of instant retail will basically remain at 80% to 100%.

Obviously, the development of instant retailing is the general trend. Although there is some controversy, everyone is more worried about the possible uncertainty.

Throughout the history of human development, there are many uncertainties, but in the history of instant retailing, at least the achievements of the first wave of merchants such as supermarkets and convenience stores are certain, and the operation mode is also certain, so is the widening of the operating radius of mom-and-pop stores.

A glance at the business believes that the essence of instant retail is retail, so it is still a long-running business, and we can’t just look at short-term disputes. As long as merchants are good at tapping the unmet needs of offline and traditional e-commerce, as long as they turn traffic thinking into cost thinking, serve residents well in a limited radius and ponder over details, they can see more certainty in the instant retail field.

Is Camry Twin Engine Worth Buying? There are three shortcomings that are inevitable and not suitable for everyone!

I drive a Camry (parameter picture) twin engine, and there are three shortcomings that are unacceptable, and it is really expensive to change the battery. I advise people who want to buy a hybrid car to think twice, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!

The automobile industry is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a hundred years, and it has become an inevitable trend to develop new energy vehicles.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles are the main models in the future, while hybrid electric vehicles will be eliminated in the future!

This is the real reason why Corolla twin-engine, Camry twin-engine, CR-V and other hybrid vehicles can’t be on the "green card"!

However, at present, Toyota and Honda-based hybrid electric vehicles have achieved high sales, and many consumers are waiting to see and want to buy a hybrid electric vehicle.

So is the current hybrid car worth buying? What are the shortcomings?

Next, I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid car and how much it costs to replace the battery, hoping to give some valuable information to readers who want to buy a hybrid car.

What’s the difference between Toyota THS, Honda i-MMD and BYD DM-i? Did DM-i learn from Honda i-MMD?

We want to know whether the hybrid car is worth buying. First, we need to understand the working principle of the hybrid car, so as to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid car!

At present, Toyota THS and Honda i-MMD hybrid systems are the main hybrid vehicles. Although both of them are hybrid systems, their working principles are obviously different.

The working principles of Honda i-MMD and BYD DM-i are more similar, so Honda CR-V has two hybrid models, one is a hybrid electric vehicle, and the other is a plug-in hybrid vehicle.

Honda’s i-MMD oil-electric hybrid uses clutches to realize three driving modes.

The first pure electric modeWhen the engine does not work, the clutch of the power separation device is disconnected, the vehicle is directly driven by the motor, and the power battery provides the power source. At this time, the working principle is the same as that of a pure electric vehicle.

The second hybrid modeThe vehicle is still directly driven by the driving motor, and the engine works normally. At this time, the power clutch is disconnected, and the engine is only responsible for driving the motor to generate electricity, and does not directly participate in the driving.

At this time, the working mode is more like an extended-range electric vehicle, and the driving principle is the same as that of an extended-range electric vehicle in Li ONE, so the engine always runs at the highest efficiency and the fuel economy is very high.

The third engine direct drive modeThe engine is working, the power clutch is closed, and the driver controls the power output of the engine through the throttle. At this time, the working mode is the same as that of the fuel vehicle.

When the vehicle needs to overtake and speed up, the motor intervenes to drive, and the auxiliary engine drives the vehicle together. At this time, the vehicle has the strongest power.

The above three driving modes are basically consistent with the working principle of BYD DM-i. Some people think that DM-I borrowed the working principle of i-MMD, but as early as 2008, BYD introduced F3DM, which is the world’s first mass-produced dual-mode vehicle.

The working principle of BYD F3DM is not the same as that of the familiar Tang DM, but the same as that of the Song Plus DM-I. As for why it was not accepted by the market at that time, the main reason was that the engine carried by the F3DM was too poor.

The DM engine is equipped with a 1.0L three-cylinder engine, and its power output is not strong. In the hybrid mode, the power output is insufficient, which makes it impossible to play the advantages of the hybrid mode, so it was eliminated by the market.

In 2012, Honda released the i-MMD hybrid technology, and in 2013, it officially launched the production model, so it was not DM-i that borrowed from i-MMD.

Toyota THS has developed into THS II, which is much better than the previous generation and can be divided into two driving modes.

The first pure electric modeThe engine does not participate in the work and will not start, and the vehicle is driven entirely by the motor, which is the first difference from Honda i-MMD.

However, the pure electric mode of Toyota THS II has a disadvantage, taking Camry twin engines as an example.

Because the battery is only 1.3kwh, it can only be turned on when the power is sufficient, and the pure electric mode can only travel about 2KM, and the speed cannot exceed 50km/h, otherwise it will directly exit the pure electric mode.

It can be said that the pure electric mode of Camry dual-engine is relatively small, but the application scenarios are still relatively rich. For example, the pure electric mode can be enabled when moving cars in short distances, congested roads and queuing, which can avoid the engine idling for a long time.

On the one hand, it can avoid carbon deposition caused by long idle speed of the engine, on the other hand, the engine stops working to achieve the purpose of saving fuel.

The second hybrid mode, due to the working principle of Toyota THS II, is divided into two working states in hybrid mode.

The first working stateDuring normal driving, when the Toyota THS II exits the pure electric mode, the vehicle directly enters the hybrid mode, and the engine and motor drive the vehicle at the same time.

When the power output by the engine is greater than the driving force required by the vehicle, the engine will drive the generator to charge the battery.

The second working stateWhen speeding up overtaking, long-distance climbing and high-speed driving, the engine and motor will still drive the vehicle together, but the engine will use all the power to drive the vehicle and the generator will stop charging the battery.

The power battery also uses all the electricity for motor-driven vehicles, at which time the vehicle has the strongest power. Because Toyota THS II has no engine direct drive mode, this is the second difference from Honda i-MMD.

The first disadvantage, the characteristics of the hybrid working mode of oil and electricity, can’t be green, can’t be exempted from purchase tax, and the price is expensive, saving fuel but not saving money.

Whether Toyota’s THS II or Honda’s i-MMD, the energy for driving vehicles in pure electric mode still comes from fuel.

The cruising range of pure electricity is too short, and the motor is only an auxiliary function. The main driving mode is the engine.

Therefore, hybrid electric vehicles are not new energy vehicles, so they can’t get a green license, and they can’t enjoy the same exemption from purchase tax as plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Take Camry twin engines as an example. The starting price is 219,800 yuan, 40,000 yuan more than the fuel version of the entry-level Camry, and 20,000 yuan more than the fuel version of the Camry with the same configuration.

Imagine that the hybrid of oil and electricity does save fuel, but can it save fuel and money?

I’ll work out an account for you.

With the same configuration, the fuel consumption of the fuel version Camry is 5.7L; per 100 kilometers; The average fuel consumption of Camry twin engines is 4.1L per 100 kilometers.

  • The dual-engine version saves 1.6L fuel consumption per 100 kilometers compared with the fuel version.
  • No.95 gasoline is 7.51 yuan per liter.

Camry dual engine saves 12.016 yuan in fuel per 100 kilometers compared with the fuel version of Camry. Driving 100 kilometers can save fuel in 12 yuan. Is it worth buying a hybrid car?

If the extra 20,000 yuan for purchasing the dual-engine version is used as fuel money,

20 thousand yuan can buy 95 # gasoline 150200L L.

The dual-engine version saves 1.6L fuel consumption per 100 kilometers compared with the fuel version.

Then Camry twin engines need to travel 93,875 kilometers to save the extra 20,000 yuan.

However, more than 90,000 kilometers, in addition to operating vehicles, basically few car owners can save fuel and money.

If a private car travels 10,000 kilometers a year, it will take at least 9 years to save money on fuel return, so it is said that hybrid electric vehicles save fuel but not money.

Moreover, it is not the same as plug-in hybrid cars. Although plug-in hybrid cars are also fuel-efficient and do not save money, they can get a green card without purchase tax, which is suitable for car owners.

Therefore, the first unacceptable disadvantage of the hybrid electric vehicle is that it saves fuel and does not save money. With the working principle similar to that of the plug-in hybrid vehicle, it can’t be a green card!

The second disadvantage is that the engine is noisy.

The engine noise of hybrid electric vehicle is very loud, which I felt on Camry twin engines, but it is not disturbing all the time, mainly in two cases, the engine noise will be very obvious.

In the first case, the cold car starts.

When the battery is fed, the cold car starts again. At this time, the engine noise of Camry dual-engine will be very loud, and the engine noise can be felt in the whole underground garage. Sometimes it will be caused by traffic jams for a long time, which may be because the engine water temperature is low.

When the car is cold, the engine can’t reach the best state, but it needs to drive the motor to charge the battery, which leads to the noise of the engine increasing under the combination of these two States.

In the second case, when driving at high speed, the battery is strongly charged.

When the Camry twin engines are driving on the highway, the engine cannot directly drive the vehicle due to the hybrid characteristics of Toyota THS II, so the battery must be charged.

Because the vehicle runs at high speed, it requires high power. At this time, it is necessary to drive both the vehicle and the motor to charge the battery, which leads to insufficient engine power.

In order to complete these two working conditions at the same time, the engine can only increase the speed, because the self-priming engine can only obtain the best power output at high speed.

Therefore, when driving at high speed and the battery is strongly charged, the noise of the engine will become very large. If it is sensitive to noise, it will affect the driving experience.

The third disadvantage is that the battery capacity is too small, and the power connection will shake.

As mentioned earlier, the battery capacity of the Camry twin-engine is only 1.3kwh, so it can only travel at a low speed of about 2km, which means that the Camry twin-engine basically travels in hybrid mode.

However, when switching from pure electricity to hybrid mode, sometimes there will be jitter, sometimes very small, sometimes very large, and sometimes not at all.

This is related to the small battery capacity. When the battery feed is switched to the hybrid mode, the engine needs to drive the vehicle and the engine to generate electricity at the same time, so the engine power is insufficient, and the power connection jitter appears.

If the power is switched when the battery is fully charged, and the engine and the battery drive the vehicle at the same time, there will be no jitter.

Therefore, the jitter caused by too small a battery may be unavoidable. This shortcoming is actually good, but it is somewhat unacceptable for car owners who pursue perfection.

Replacing the battery is expensive, so drive carefully.

Toyota and Honda’s hybrid electric system can be said to be very mature, and they all adopt "shallow charging and shallow discharging" to extend the battery life.

As long as the battery capacity of Toyota THS system is lower than 60%, it will stop discharging directly, while that of Honda is 55%.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the battery can always be kept at more than 50%, which can increase the number of battery cycles and prolong the battery life.

The disadvantage is that the battery capacity of the hybrid electric vehicle is very small, and it is lightly charged and discharged every time, which makes it impossible to switch the power output mode for a long distance, which may cause the body to shake.

Due to the protection methods adopted by Toyota and Honda for the power battery, under normal use, the battery will basically not decay to the point where it cannot be used normally or be damaged.

Moreover, Toyota guarantees the battery for 8 years or 200,000 kilometers, and Honda guarantees the battery for 10 years or 200,000 kilometers, so the owner does not have to worry about battery damage, and it is expensive to replace the battery.

However, if the battery is damaged by the owner, it is not cheap to replace a battery.

Theoretically, taking the Camry dual engine as an example, the battery capacity is only 1.3kwh. At present, the power battery is 1,300 yuan /kwh, and it is 1,300 yuan to change a battery, plus the working hours are up to 3,000 yuan.

In fact, according to the maintenance cost of replacing the power battery exposed by the owner, it is obvious that it cost 23,848 yuan to replace the battery.

Therefore, it is not cheap to replace the battery in a hybrid electric vehicle, but as long as you drive normally, you basically don’t have to worry about the cost of replacing the battery.

Advantages of hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle

Although I mentioned the disadvantages of hybrid electric vehicles, its advantages cannot be ignored.

1. Whether driving at high speed or in traffic jam, the fuel consumption is relatively stable, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is basically about 5L, which is very suitable for car owners who often run long distances.

2. A tank of oil can run more than 1000 kilometers, so you don’t have to worry about mileage anxiety, and you don’t have to refuel frequently. In today’s fast pace of life, the time saved is money.

3. No matter under any working conditions, the power of the hybrid electric vehicle can come at any time, the power output is better than that of the fuel vehicle, and the power ride comfort and driving experience are incomparable to that of the fuel vehicle.

The extra cost of buying a hybrid electric car may not be able to save fuel and money, but the driving experience is great!

Write it at the end

Hybrid cars are worth buying, but not for everyone.

If you don’t use cars frequently, don’t run at high speed, and just commute to work, then a fuel car is enough.

If there are requirements for power, endurance and long-distance driving, then a hybrid electric vehicle is worth buying.

If you buy a hybrid electric car just to save money, then I advise you to think twice. Actually, it doesn’t save money. If you buy it rashly, it’s too late to regret it!
