Zhiji, it’s hard to be a prince of SAIC’s new energy vehicle.

For SAIC, Zhiji Automobile is a proper "prince", and it comes with its own aura and is highly anticipated.

Investment from SAIC, Ali and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech recently reached RMB 3 billion, with a valuation of RMB 30 billion.

At the presentation of SAIC’s 2022 semi-annual report, Zhiji was a "major strategic innovation project" of SAIC, and it was also mentioned in the semi-annual report that Zhiji Automobile was an important starting point for SAIC’s "upward development of independent vehicles".

At the beginning of the year, during the worst epidemic in Shanghai, SAIC tried its best to allocate resources to ensure that key new products such as Zhiji L7 went on sale. Zhiji Automobile has also been emphasizing the background of SAIC.

However, the sales of Zhiji L7 are not satisfactory. Since the delivery in late June, the delivery volume is not good. According to the data disclosed by the Association, in September, Zhiji L7 sold 1,019 units, and in July and August, it sold 816 units and 1,007 units respectively.

In the past, there were competitors such as Weilai, and behind them, there was a "direct biography" brother Feifan Automobile, which was about to go public. At that time, it would also seize the resources of SAIC. Can Zhiji afford to be the prince of SAIC?

In January, it sold for 1000 yuan, but it was difficult for the prince to win public support.

In September, the auto market improved.

Recently, according to the latest automobile sales data released by China Automobile Industry Association, the automobile sales volume in September was 2.61 million units, up 9.5% month-on-month and 25.7% year-on-year, maintaining a high-speed growth momentum. Among them, the sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 708,000, a year-on-year increase of 93.9%, and the market share reached 27.1%. 

Tesla’s ModelY sold 51,802 units in September, holding the top spot. The top 30 models have sold more than 5,000 vehicles per month. Among the new forces making cars, Ideal L9 sold 10,123 units. In the pure electric vehicle market with a price exceeding 400,000 yuan, the sales volume of Weilai ET7 in September was 2,928.

"ZhiJi monthly sales of one thousand, must be failed. Although it is said to be a high-end positioning of around 400,000, it will take thousands of units a month, which is similar. " Mr. Zhou, an insider of the car circle, said.

The sales volume is bleak. Besides the brand has just started and its popularity is not high, Zhiji’s investment in channel construction is not strong, which is also an influencing factor.

According to the statistics of Lujiu Business Review, Zhiji has about 40 experience centers and about 35 delivery centers in China. This kind of coverage network is somewhat inadequate.

Taking Beijing as an example, Lu Jiu’s business review learned that Zhiji has only four experience centers in Beijing. Among them, Beitou Shopping Garden Store has just opened on National Day. In contrast, LI has 18 stores in Beijing. Weilai Automobile has 21 stores in Beijing.

Not only that, in terms of distribution channels, Zhiji is also relying on SAIC. During the visit, Lu Jiu’s business review found that several Zhiji sales points in Beijing were made by traditional 4S Buick dealers.

For example, Wangfujing APM store, Zhiji automobile and Buick dealer Gadalai cooperate. Take the mode that Zhizhi pays to rent the storefront, and the dealer hires people to be responsible for the management.

This is somewhat similar to Huawei’s channel vendors, but slightly different. The M5 and M7 sample cars displayed in Huawei Experience Store are all purchased by the store owner himself. The sample cars in Zhiji’s store are directly provided by Zhiji, and dealers do not need to pay for them themselves.

Users book cars online, dealers take sales commissions, and deduct employees’ sales commission and marketing expenses, which is their own profits.

"Zhiji is like this, in order to reduce the pressure on dealers. If you pull the dealer alone, the cost will be invested. If the sales volume does not come up, it will be very troublesome later. " Mr. Zhou said.

When some car companies push new products, they will "apportion" the dealers, and at the same time, they will take some newly pushed models while entering those models that sell well. Mr. Zhou believes that Zhiji’s approach is somewhat similar to this method.

In addition, Zhiji is also conservative in brand investment. "SAIC is a state-owned enterprise, and its budget is very strict, so there are fewer advertisements." The sales staff of Zhongguancun exhibition shop told Lu Jiu’s business review.

If the sales volume does not come up, the turnover of sales staff will be great. "The basic salary of sales is 4,000 yuan. We can probably get 800-1000 yuan when we sell a car. Especially in the past few months, sales have not yet started. Some salespeople can’t sell cars, so they get a basic salary. The pressure in Beijing is great. He left without moving." The sales of Liu, who led the exhibition at Heshenghui, said.

In view of the current sales situation, what further measures does Zhiji have? Lu Jiu’s business review asked Zhiji’s official about this, but as of the time of publication, he didn’t get a reply.

02 35-400,000 range

The prince’s tough battle is not easy to fight.

As the "No.1 Project" of SAIC, Zhiji Automobile has high hopes. SAIC hopes that the Prince will fight hard and attack the independent luxury car market that the Group has not been able to win.

SAIC defines Zhiji as a high-end luxury brand. In the company’s 2021 annual financial report, there is such a description: through the listing of new products such as Zhiji, SAIC Audi and Cadillac, the product camp of luxury brands is further strengthened.

In terms of vehicle size, price and configuration, the target of Zhiji L7 is Weilai ET7. The models with two configurations of Zhiji L7 are priced at 368,800 and 408,800 respectively; The price of Weilai ET7 is about 450,000 to 530,000.

"Wisdom has more control and performance. We call this car the control involution king, which is a bit niche and biased towards those who like to play with cars. " A sales person surnamed Ren told Lu Jiu Business Review.

"We are cheaper than ET7. ET7 is mainly expensive in its service, because they have power exchange service. These are all costs, which will ultimately be reflected in the price of the car." He said that at present, Zhiji L7 has no power exchange service, so the price is cheaper than Weilai.

Compared with Zhiji, Weilai started early, has a strong brand influence, and relies on the unique positioning of "car as a service" to form a strong user stickiness.

In terms of sales volume, there is also a considerable gap between Zhiji L7 and Weilai ET7. Weilai ET7 sold 2,928 units in September and 4,349 units in June.

The prices of two products of Zhiji L7 have reached the price range of BBA. According to public information, only Weilai can occupy a place in the market segment of 350,000-400,000 yuan.

Hi-Tech Intelligent Automobile Research Institute believes that this road of Zhiji is very difficult. The top matching of Zhiji L7 with a price of 408,800 yuan is the model range of BBA, and the general effect will not be very good if the top matching is used to play the low matching of joint venture brands.

Tamia Liu, CEO of Zhiji Automobile, once said: "It is miserable and helpless for users who spend more than 400,000 plus tax close to 500,000 to buy BBA."

Today’s Zhiji car, the differentiated competition has not been shown, but the price and positioning have kept up. This kind of unsynchronization has the most intuitive appearance in sales volume. Although relying heavily on the brand and production and supply resources of SAIC, as an independent luxury brand, Zhiji lacks sufficient persuasion.

Can brothers still sit still when they are competing for the crown prince?

In the past, there were independent brands such as Weilai and many joint venture brands. Behind them, Zhiji Automobile also faced the resource competition of another brother, Feifan Automobile.

Feifan Automobile is an R brand wholly owned and operated by SAIC and its employees, and it is also a brand within SAIC. In contrast, Feifan car is more like a "prince" than Zhiji.

In the planning map of SAIC, it is Zhiji Automobile and Feifan Automobile that promote the development of independent brands. Moreover, Feifan Automobile, like Zhiji, is also a "major strategic innovation project" of SAIC.

Tamia Liu, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, has served as an important manager in various positions of SAIC, and has served as product manager, director of market operation department, director of product planning and deputy general manager of quality and economic operation department.

Wu Bing, CEO of Feifan Automobile, has 20 years working experience in SAIC. According to public information, Wu Bing has successively held important positions in several subsidiaries of SAIC-GM, Shanghai Automotive Group Insurance Sales Co., Ltd. and Xiangdao Travel.

Backed by SAIC and endorsed by SAIC is the basic strategy of Zhizhi. In Zhiji’s sales store, the words "Ali makes cars, SAIC quality" are particularly eye-catching.

In manufacturing, Zhiji also relies on SAIC platform. "SAIC has many resources, including the rear wheel steering technology of the car, the design of the chassis, chips and hardware equipment, all relying on SAIC’s supply chain." Ren surnamed sales of Zhongguancun exhibition shop said.

On September 22nd, SAIC announced that it will jointly invest with China Petrochemical, China Petroleum and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited to establish Shanghai Jieneng Zhidian New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and will build charging piles at 50,000 gas stations nationwide.

Zhiji characterized this news as good for car owners, and all sales points made publicity signs: "Zhiji’s energy replenishment system will be expanded again, and relying on Jieneng Zhidian, a subsidiary of SAIC, we will fully promote the strong upgrade of the charging network."

Flying every car is the same strategy.

Wu Bing, CEO of Feifan Automobile, was also deliberately highlighting the resources of SAIC in an interview. It has always been emphasized that Feifan Automobile does not start from scratch, "but is carried out on the basis of SAIC’s huge resources".

On September 22nd, SAIC cooperated with PetroChina, Sinopec and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and Feifan Automobile also served as its own resource. Moreover, compared with Zhiji, Feifan and Jieneng Zhidian have a closer relationship.

"SAIC is in a difficult time now, and it is in urgent need of independent brands to do it as soon as possible. In the past, independent brands had a habit of having more brands, having more children and fighting, and the east was not bright and the west was bright. " Mr. Zhou said.

Although Wu Bing has been saying that Fei Fan and Zhi Ji do not constitute competition, in fact, the competition between them is inevitable.

The first is the competition for resources.

Feifan automobile is positioned at the high end, and Zhiji automobile is positioned at the high end. However, the price difference is not very big. The price difference between Feifan and Zhiji is about 50,000 yuan. As two independent new energy brands under SAIC, there is inevitably competition in the undertaking of SAIC brand resources.

In addition, the positioning of the two brands will overlap in the future.

The news learned by Lu Jiu’s business review is that Zhiji will launch a B-class car next year, which is the model that the company wants to take. This B-class car will have direct competition with Feifan.

"In fact, the L7 car is not a real car, it is a brand car. The real car is the B-class car released next year, and the company plans it like this. " "Just like Tesla, the earliest model started at 800,000, and then there were 300,000 models up and down," said Ren, a salesman at the Zhiji exhibition store.

Sales staff revealed that the B-class car released by Zhiji next year will be marked with ET5, Mmodel 3 and other models, which is Zhiji’s brand strategy.

Feifan R7 will be delivered at the end of October, and when the market runs away for some time, especially next year, Zhiji will launch a B-class car, when the two brands will directly fight.

If Feifan’s car sales are improving, SAIC will have to adjust its resource allocation in the case of tight resources.

To prove that he can be a "prince", Zhiji’s time is running out.

The 2023 Shanghai Auto Show will be held from April 18th to 27th.

Dongguan: A quarter of the global animation derivatives are made in Dongguan.

Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, Dongguan, March 28th (Reporter Shen Weifeng) Yesterday, the 14th China Children’s Industry Development Conference and China Brand Authorization Annual Meeting hosted by China Toys and Baby Products Association opened in Dongguan. With the theme of "Foreseeing the New Symbiosis in 2024", this conference invites guests to face-to-face exchanges and seek common development, promotes exchanges and cooperation between relevant industries in Dongguan and other regions, injects new vitality into "China Tide Play Capital" and jointly promotes the high-quality development of the national toy and baby products industry.

"World toys look at China, and China toys look at Dongguan." Dongguan toy manufacturing industry started in the early days of reform and opening up, and now has more than 4,000 toy manufacturers and nearly 1,500 upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, making it the largest toy export base in China. According to statistics, at present, a quarter of the global animation derivatives are produced in Dongguan, and nearly 85% of China’s trendy games are produced in Dongguan. In 2023, the output value of Dongguan’s toy manufacturing industry was 26.217 billion yuan, of which Chaowan was close to 20 billion yuan. At present, Dongguan has formed a toy industry base with Shipai, Qingxi, Fenggang, Chashan and other towns as key areas, with remarkable industrial agglomeration and complete industrial support.

Wen Guoxiong, vice president of China Toys and Baby Products Association, said that China Toys and Baby Products Association is planning to set up a 5,000-square-meter exhibition center in Guancheng City to attract famous animation IP at home and abroad to Dongguan. In addition, the association also actively attracts talented people from animation associations, theaters and schools in China to help Dongguan improve the front-end industrial chain.

Behind the booming live broadcast: three products are flooded, and brushing traffic is frequent.

  In the past few days, this newspaper has continuously reported the hot situation of live broadcast of goods on e-commerce platforms. Then, is the quality and safety of the goods that consumers buy in the live broadcast room excellent, and can the after-sales rights be guaranteed? Behind the booming live broadcast, how the platform and anchor should be self-disciplined and effectively supervised has become the focus of consumers’ concentrated attention.

  The advantages and disadvantages of live broadcast products are in doubt.

  "The price is indeed cheaper than the discount store, but the size and specifications are not the same as the genuine ones." Consumer Mr. Liu told reporters that when he was preparing to place an order to buy a well-known brand sports shoes in the live broadcast room of an e-commerce platform, he found that the 42.5-yard merchants he usually wore did not provide them, and all the optional sizes were integer sizes, and all the "half sizes" were not available. "There are genuine counters in all styles ’ Half size ’ Yes, so I feel that the shoes sold in this live broadcast room are still a bit uneasy. " The reporter learned in the interview that many consumers have doubts about the goods in the live broadcast channel. Mr. Wang, a consumer, said that he saw a mosaic toy during the live broadcast on the e-commerce platform. From the trademark to the packaging box and the theme content of the product set, it was very similar to a well-known brand. On the live broadcast interface, there were even less conspicuous subtitles that were compatible with the building blocks of well-known brands, and the sense of "cottage" was particularly obvious.

  Is the "original ecology" product reliable?

  Near the Spring Festival, many agricultural products from rural sellers are very popular in the e-commerce new year promotion activities. Reporters have seen products such as "rural autotrophic pigs", "earth eggs", "farm bacon" and "homemade honey" in the live broadcast rooms of many platforms, but are the quality of these so-called "original ecological" agricultural products directly from the fields really reliable, and is food safety guaranteed? When the reporter communicated with an anchor specializing in "rural autotrophic local pigs", he learned that all the pork, pig liver, pig lungs, etc. sold in the live broadcast room had not been inspected and quarantined. During the live broadcast, the anchor clearly told the reporter that if you want the quarantined pork, you can only go to the supermarket to buy it. The pork sold in his live broadcast room is "self-supporting by farmers" and is now slaughtered and sold without quarantine. In addition, the reporter also saw some bacon, honey, rice wine, etc. recommended by the anchor, which looked good in color and flavor, but it was impossible to know whether the production process and the use of ingredients and additives were standardized.

  Anchor "self-discipline" can not be ignored

  The reporter learned in the interview that with the increasing popularity of live broadcast, the "price tag" of some online celebrity anchors has gone up, especially the "head anchor" of live broadcast channels on several major platforms, and the price of live broadcast and anchor commission have been considerable. Therefore, data related to the live broadcast traffic and conversion rate of the anchor commission income are becoming more and more important. According to industry sources, in order to increase the price of the goods and the commission of the anchor, the situation of "brushing the bill" and "brushing the flow" occurs from time to time. This is untrue data for merchants, and to a certain extent, it constitutes false propaganda, misleading consumption, and even a deceptive behavior for consumers. These have become problems that consumers, manufacturers, merchants, platforms and anchors have to face. At the moment when the laws and regulations related to live broadcast delivery are still not perfect, the "self-discipline" of the platform and anchor is particularly important.

[Industry observation in the post-epidemic era] After May Day, there may not be many people who invite you to "learn about fitness swimming".

  Cctv news(Reporter Zhu Chunyan) "If you don’t lose weight in March, you will be sad in April". Every year in March and April, it is a good time for gyms to engage in sales, but this year is different due to the epidemic situation. Will the gym that missed this spring usher in the peak season in May?

  Wear a mask to keep fit.

  On April 30th, Liu Jian, a fitness coach, finished exercising in his fitness studio and picked up disinfectant to kill bacteria. "I’m finally ready to welcome members". During this time, he always went to the studio to exercise alone, and then closed the door and left. He joked that it was spending tens of thousands of dollars every month to configure a luxury gym for himself. Liu Jian’s fitness studio is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It was closed during the epidemic and is expected to reopen in early May.

  As the epidemic situation eased, many gyms opened one after another. Mr. Wu, the head of public relations for Super Orangutan, a chain fitness institution, told the reporter that half of the more than 100 classrooms of Super Orangutan in eight cities across the country have been approved and accepted by various places and started to resume business. During the epidemic period, the business should implement systematic epidemic prevention and control measures. When members enter the store, they must take temperature measurement, register their real names, check their health codes, etc., and increase store housekeepers to do cleaning, disinfection and hygiene management.

  The reporter learned that many yoga studios in Beijing will also open for business. Phoenix Yoga staff said that after the class started on May 1st, the number of members in the class was strictly limited. Previously, the class that accommodated more than 40 people was changed to a maximum of 15 people, and members also needed to carry their own yoga mats to go to class. Yoga mats, towels, cups, etc. were no longer provided in the venue. She said that the venue has arranged to disinfect classrooms, auxiliary rooms, dressing rooms, public areas and toilets at regular intervals every day.

  According to the Work Plan on Safe and Orderly Opening of Sports and Fitness Facilities in novel coronavirus during the Epidemic Period issued by Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, at present, except swimming pools and underground sports and fitness facilities, other indoor sports and fitness facilities can be reopened.

  Dapeng, the coach of an underground swimming and fitness venue in Beijing’s West Third Ring Road, told reporters that the membership card will be postponed. As for when the gym will open, the company is also waiting for a policy notice. Dapeng said that at this time in previous years, he would go out to hand out leaflets after giving lessons to members, "Learn about fitness swimming", but he has been unemployed at home since the Spring Festival holiday this year. Dapeng said that the company didn’t do anything during this time. "The boss has other business." In fact, he himself is not sure whether he can return to this gym to continue his work.

  The life-saving straw "Cloud Fitness" will not stop.

  On January 30th, the State Sports General Administration issued the Notice on Vigorously Promoting Scientific Fitness at Home, actively advocating scientific fitness at home. For each gym, driving home fitness has also become a lifeline for enterprises to survive.

  The Music Carving Campaign, which focuses on private and small class teaching, has about 500 stores nationwide. After offline suspension, it spends tens of millions every month. Han Wei, the founder, predicted that the epidemic would cost Leke at least 100 million yuan, or even several times. During the Spring Festival, Han Wei assembled 100 employees to form a "death squad" to carry out online business, including recording and broadcasting small videos, live broadcasting and offering special courses, which were launched on platforms such as Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok. Yang Shuting, the public relations director of Leke, said: "Online live broadcast has broken the barriers of time and space and attracted a large number of users."

  "Cloud Fitness" has become a must-have at home for a time. The super orangutan opened the "Super Scarlet Squat in the Home" on a live APP, and the number of online users in the first live broadcast exceeded 170,000, becoming the TOP1 anchor on a live broadcast. Mr. Wu, the head of public relations for Super Orangutan, said that with the arrival of the resumption of work, the number of viewers during this period was less than that in the early days, about 50,000 people per game, and many users have developed the habit of watching live exercises together.

  With the growth of users, "cloud fitness" has not only become a lifeline for gyms, but also attracted a large number of giants from outside the industry. Alibaba Entertainment, Suning, etc. also joined their sports institutions to continuously launch videos and live broadcasts of fitness guidance on the online platform.

  For fitness coaches, "cloud fitness" is a challenge, and it also gives them more room to play. During the epidemic, Keepland opened a "cloud small class" to allow coaches to start classes online in the form of a two-way camera. Coach Wang Wei said that he has never adapted to enjoying "small classes in the cloud" now. "Although his income is not as good as usual, he is more motivated to use his own training logic to attend classes."

  Probe into the boundary of fitness industry

  Although the income of online teaching is far less than that of offline courses, many insiders said that online exploration has cultivated people’s habit of online consumption, and offline is still the best fitness choice in the future, but online will also be indispensable. Online and offline access will become a new direction of the fitness industry.

  He Wenyi, executive director of China Sports Industry Research Center in Peking University, believes that if the fitness industry wants to innovate and upgrade, it is necessary to seize the opportunities and challenges in the epidemic, or it may be eliminated. The so-called opportunity is that it is very important for the fitness industry to grasp the innovation of fitness content and products after the epidemic has made people pay enough attention to health.

  The manager of a gym store in Beijing said that due to the epidemic, the physical store could not operate normally, but the company launched the "2020 Anti-epidemic Memorial Card" to upgrade and innovate its products. In addition, online celebrity Store was launched earlier to explore the fitness venues in the new media era, making it a lifestyle platform, a club and a new social place.

  Han Wei, the founder of Leke, summed up the model of the gym into three versions: 1.0 model, opening a store to earn money from a store; 2.0 mode, establishing an online platform mode to connect users with offline gyms; 3.0 mode, after establishing the online platform, self-operated offline stores, "connecting people and goods yards, and making money offline".

  In the post-epidemic era, fewer people may invite you to "learn about fitness swimming" on the street, but there may be more and more advertisements recommending you to "buy chicken breast" on the mobile APP.

Its film arrangement is only 0.7%, but it is the most worth seeing in the near future.

Special feature of 1905 film network Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your memory disappeared one day?

We have seen too many movies, and we often meet people whose memories are fading away, and some incredible things have happened. Some people rely on their only remaining memories to find clues to solve crimes; Some people hit their heads and all their memories were restored; Some people can’t get their memories back all their lives.

On February 23rd, the movie officially released in the mainland cinema once again took the memory as a knife. However, this time it is a little different.

1 What’s the difference between this film?

The main characters in the film "Love Before Memory Dies" are two old people. Ella Spencer played by helen mirren is a rebellious old girl, while John Spencer played by donald sutherland is a forgetful old warm man.

The old couple are both seriously ill. John has Alzheimer’s disease, which we often call Alzheimer’s disease. The disease makes his memory go wrong and slowly disappears. He needs to live in a nursing home, while Ella has cancer and needs to be admitted to the hospital. At this moment, the two will face eternal separation.

So, the two decided to take a trip in an RV. The English name of the film "The Leisure Seeker" is the name of this RV — — Leisure seekers. They walked all the way from Massachusetts to the south, recalling the experience of spending their holidays with children. This time, their destination was Hemingway’s former residence on Sisuo Island.

I went to Hemingway’s former residence because John’s favorite writer was Hemingway. At the same time, John is also a teacher. His illness makes him forget the names of his wife and children, but he can easily say Hemingway’s works. Hemingway’s famous The Old Man and the Sea was finished here in Xisuo Island, and it is John’s favorite work.

Two old men "ran away from home" behind their children’s backs. John couldn’t drive because of illness, but during the journey, he drove the old car at a gallop. When Ella called the children, she told them, "Son, we won’t be long. There are some things that I must finish with your father.".

The film fills in the grief and sadness that Alzheimer’s disease would have brought to the family with a lot of jokes, making the whole film easy and interesting.

During the trip, John left his wife alone and drove away. When Ella got on a passerby’s motorcycle and caught up with John, John’s reaction was, "Why are you sitting on a motorcycle?" He has completely forgotten that his wife traveled by car with him.

Similarly, when he arrived in Pennsylvania, he asked Ella, "Where are we?" After Ella told him, he asked, "What are we doing in Pennsylvania?" He will forget his children, mistake his students, and forget the purpose of this trip.

However, he can’t forget English grammar. On the way, when they were forced to hand over the money by a sudden robber, he did not forget to correct the grammatical mistakes made by the robber. At this time, Ella scared away the robbers with a prepared shotgun.

"Love Before Memory Dies" is adapted from Michael Sadrian’s novel of the same name. As a road movie, it reveals the story of travel and uncovers an old story (not much to say, it will be spoiled if you talk too much! ), and behind this past, the focus is on marriage and old age.

In the last period of life, their attitude is not negative at all, and life is full of interest everywhere. Ella, played by helen mirren, painted her nails, wore a wig and put on lipstick. Even though she is not young, she is still a delicate woman. During the journey, the two will also look at old photos with slides.

From the preview, we can also see that the two spent a beautiful and romantic night in the hotel suite. John talked to ella to the fullest; "I can’t believe my wife is so beautiful", the gentleman invited her and they embraced and danced together. The couple who have been together for fifty years have a very funny and warm daily life, and their love is indestructible in the face of aging and death.

The two leading actors won numerous awards.

"Love Before Memory Disappears" was selected as the main competition unit of Venice Film Festival in 2017. After the premiere of the film festival, some media reporters praised helen mirren’s performance. Helen mirren won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival in 2006 for her film, and won the Oscar for Best Actress for The Queen the following year.

Helen mirren in The Queen is noble and solemn, but very conservative. When helen mirren portrays Elizabeth II after learning of Princess Diana’s death, she reminds herself by saying "I am the queen" every day. And her superb acting skills have been greatly affirmed.

In addition, helen mirren won the Best Actress Award at Cannes Film Festival with and twice.

Donald sutherland, the actor, should be the most familiar Canadian in China. He is also quite powerful. He is the winner of the 90th Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. Previously, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor twice for Citizen X and War Path.

Donald sutherland has appeared in many films, including series,,, and so on. It is worth noting that he once appeared in the works directed by Xiaogang Feng in 2001. His role is Taylor, the great Hollywood director who came to China to make a film.

It can be said that the performances of donald sutherland and helen mirren were impeccable. Many foreign media commented on "Love Before Memory Dies", although they were quite critical of the film’s plays, they still affirmed the performance of these two drama bones, saying that this is the most attractive part of the film, which is quite convincing. "Every wrinkle is a play, and every expression contains the most complicated emotions in the character’s heart."

3 Italian local teams shoot American films.

Paolo Virzì, the director of Love Before Memory Dies, has shot many Italian local comedies, and can be said to be one of the representative figures. His "My name is Tanino" has all been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. "Love Before Memory Dies" is the fourth time that he has been selected for the Venice Film Festival.

But his international fame is not very great. In the 74th Venice Film Festival, many famous directors gathered, and his works also received a lot of attention. Especially with the blessing of the two leading actors, the judges can feel the more delicate emotional expression.

Paolo Virzì never thought that he would make a film that had nothing to do with Italy. When he was invited by an American film producer, he decided that helen mirren and donald sutherland must play the roles.

He said: "When I was filming this film as an American director, I always reminded myself of my Italian identity. On the set, I felt the common feelings of human beings. I tried to look at this story from an Italian perspective, and I kept my own style: shooting this film with a story that is true, human, ironic and mixed with comedy and tragedy. "

Yes, this is the concept that Paolo Virzì has always adhered to: there is always tragedy in comedy, and only dramatic plots can make people laugh.

The foreign media "SSG Syndicate" described the film as a bittersweet and warm journey, and the excellent performance made this film. Film Journal International commented that although this film is a bit ordinary, it is very enjoyable in most cases.

When talking about this film, "CineVue" said: "Sorrow and sadness are often dangerous, but" Love Before Memory Dies "is not like this. Even if love comes to an end, they are still celebrating." The critics of RogerEbert.com even shed tears when watching it.

In addition, although the film was shot in the United States, most of the film’s creative team are Italian. Photographer Luca Bigazzi has worked with Italian director paolo sorrentino in many film and television dramas.

Musician Carlo Wizz and director Paolo Virzì are old partners, and he has participated in Osodo and My Name is Tanino.

Editor Jacob Quadri worked with the director on My Name is Tanino, but he is famous for working with Italian director bernardo bertolucci.

The national AI innovation platform has been expanded to 15 artificial intelligences to welcome policy combination boxing.

  The Economic Information Daily reporter learned from the 2019 World Artificial Intelligence Conference on the 29th that China’s artificial intelligence open innovation platform has added a "new army", and 10 head enterprises including Huawei’s basic software and hardware platform, Ping An inclusive finance platform and Xiaomi’s smart home platform have been officially selected.

  As an important driving force of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the development of artificial intelligence industry once again ushered in the policy "dividend" period. In this field, China has gradually embarked on a unique development path of demand-oriented leading business model innovation, market application forcing basic theory and key technology innovation.

  Support policies for platform expansion are intensively introduced.

  Shanghai will speed up the construction of a new generation of national experimental zone for artificial intelligence innovation and development, promote scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation in the same direction, make all the vitality of artificial intelligence knowledge, technology, management and capital compete with generate, encourage the latest achievements of artificial intelligence to take the lead in "testing the water" in Shanghai, strive to make original breakthroughs in some key core areas, and strive to become an important source of global artificial intelligence innovation. This is the information obtained by the reporter at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference on the 29th.

  At the same time, Shanghai will make good use of major opportunities such as the construction of a new area of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, the integrated development of science and technology innovation board and the Yangtze River Delta, build a global frontier innovation platform and benchmark for application scenarios, promote standard communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade and financial intermediation in the field of artificial intelligence, and promote the cross-regional cross-disciplinary cross-industry development of artificial intelligence.

  This is just a "microcosm". At the forum on the same day, the Ministry of Science and Technology officially added ten national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platforms, including relying on Shanghai Yitu Network Technology Co., Ltd. to build a national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for visual computing, relying on Shanghai Mingluo Artificial Intelligence (Group) Co., Ltd. to build a national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for marketing intelligence, and relying on Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. to build a national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for basic software and hardware. Since then, China’s national AI innovation platform has expanded to 15.

  While building a top-level communication platform for the development of artificial intelligence in the world, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also continued to "unveil the list" for the world. At the meeting, four test tracks were launched: intelligent networked car, medical image-assisted diagnosis, visual image identification and smart sensor.

  New technology blessing industrialization accelerates landing

  Under the "blessing" of new technologies, the industrialization of artificial intelligence in China has accelerated. "According to the calculation of relevant institutions, the scale of China’s artificial intelligence industry is expected to exceed 160 billion yuan by 2020, driving related industries to exceed 1 trillion yuan." Lin Nianxiu, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the meeting.

  At present, the blueprint of a new generation of artificial intelligence industry in China has initially appeared. Among them, the national new-generation artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot zones in Beijing and Shanghai have taken the lead, and the new-generation artificial intelligence demonstration parks are accelerating. The three major artificial intelligence industrial clusters represented by Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have taken shape, and the total number of artificial intelligence enterprises accounts for 86% of the country.

  With the development of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, speech recognition, face recognition, security, somatosensory interaction, and intelligent manufacturing, in addition to BAT betting, Haier, Huawei, Xiaomi, Meituan, Didi, and Today Headlines have also entered the field of artificial intelligence.

  In this regard, industry experts pointed out that "artificial intelligence+manufacturing" is still an important foothold for the development of artificial intelligence. With the spillover effect of artificial intelligence on traditional industries, the application scenarios of artificial intelligence enterprises will accelerate. At present, in addition to building autonomous driving by Baidu, building urban brains by Alibaba Cloud Company, building medical images by Tencent, building intelligent voice by Iflytek and building intelligent vision by Shang Tang Group, the new generation of artificial intelligence open innovation platforms are widely used in manufacturing, medical care, transportation, home, security, network security and other fields. There are more than 1,000 artificial intelligence enterprises in China, and the upsurge of AI chips and open source continues to heat up. The head start-ups such as Shang Tang, Yuncong, Defiance and Yitu are facing fierce competition.

  Take SAIC Motor Group as an example. In recent years, it has built the largest cloud computing big data center and the first artificial intelligence laboratory in the industry around the three major areas of intelligent driving, smart travel and intelligent manufacturing, actively explored the integration of big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, 5G and other information and communication technologies with application scenarios, seized the development opportunity of deep integration of cutting-edge technologies and the real economy, and accelerated the evolution and transformation of the automobile industry. The 5G smart heavy truck is the latest achievement of SAIC’s independent innovation. Combined with the advanced 5G-V2X vehicle communication technology, it can realize L4 automatic driving, centimeter-level positioning, accurate parking, interaction with automation equipment and queue driving.

  The penetration of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology into traditional industries is unprecedented. Lei Tao, CEO of Tianyun Big Data, said that with the mature application of cloud computing and open source software technology and the arrival of the era of big data, IT began to transform into DT, the ecology was reshuffled, and the information industry itself had undergone subversive changes.

  The construction of industry legal system has been accelerated and improved.

  As a new thing, artificial intelligence has been controversial in law and ethics. In May 2019, the Shanghai National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Experimental Zone was unveiled, which clarified the relevant tasks of establishing and improving policies, regulations, ethical norms and governance systems. In June, the National Professional Committee of New Generation Artificial Intelligence Governance issued the Principles of New Generation Artificial Intelligence Governance, which highlighted the theme of responsible and open collaboration.

  On the 29th, the Youth Working Committee of Shanghai Computer Society issued the Shanghai Declaration on Innovative Governance of Artificial Intelligence for Young Scientists in China in 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the Shanghai Declaration), emphasizing the four major responsibilities that should be followed in the development of artificial intelligence: ethical responsibility, safety responsibility, legal responsibility and social responsibility.

  Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent Board of Directors, said that the urgency of AI governance is getting higher and higher, and AI governance should be guided by "technology is good" to ensure that AI is "knowable", "controllable", "available" and "reliable". Ma Huateng also said that today, no country has all the resources, technologies and capabilities needed for a new round of global scientific, technological and industrial revolution. Strengthening global governance and cooperation is an indispensable part of the development of AI.

  "We must actively promote pluralistic co-governance, adhere to multi-agent participation, combine multiple means, tailor governance rules, deepen moral and ethical research, strengthen security, protect personal privacy, standardize industry order, and escort the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence." Lin Nianxiu revealed that the country will focus on three major actions in the next step.

  The first is to implement the artificial intelligence innovation partner action. Focus on 100 artificial enterprises, intelligent technology enterprises and application enterprises, support collaborative research and development, collaborative production and collaborative promotion, solve common technologies, and promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and real economy. The second is to implement artificial intelligence resource sharing actions. Build an artificial intelligence industry innovation center, improve the open source platform system, deepen the integration of government information systems and information resources sharing, issue guidance to promote the development of new infrastructure, and build an artificial intelligence industry ecology. The third is to implement the open development action of artificial intelligence. Deepen all-round cooperation with countries around the world in the fields of artificial intelligence technology, standards, industries, laws and regulations, ethics, etc., discuss artificial intelligence governance rules, jointly build major artificial intelligence projects, and share the development achievements of artificial intelligence.

The birth of the music of the constitutional oath ceremony played by the PLA Military Orchestra

  This is the first time since the founding of the Republic that a grand constitutional oath ceremony was held at the National People’s Congress. The people of the whole country witnessed this solemn and sacred process through television cameras.

  As part of the swearing-in ceremony of the national leaders’ constitution, the two pieces of music, the swearing-in ceremony song and the chairman’s horn, were specially created by the PLA Military Orchestra and have not been played in public before.

  "Now hold the constitutional oath ceremony of the first meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China!" At 10: 50 am on March 17th, a solemn and powerful bugle sounded at the Great Hall of the People. With the music played by the Military Orchestra of China People’s Liberation Army, the swearing-in ceremony of the Constitution kicked off. The ceremonial soldiers marched forward, escorting the Constitution of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and placing it on the oath platform.

  接着,新当选的国家主席、中央军委主席习近平从主席团座席起身走向宣誓台时,又一段铿锵激昂的号角奏响,将整个宪法宣誓仪式烘托得更加神圣与庄严。

  创 作

  “今年2月初,全国人大交给我们一项任务——为宪法宣誓仪式创作一首乐曲。”解放军军乐团副团长张海峰告诉记者。

  这样的创作,看似开放自由,实则限制颇多,音乐的时长、风格、元素等都需要考虑仪式的实际情况。

  军乐团经过研究,首先将音乐形式确定为号角。“号角,有昭示的含义。”在宪法宣誓仪式中,宣誓人庄重地诵读誓词是整个仪式最重要最核心的部分。在此之前演奏号角,昭示神圣的一刻即将来临,最为合适。

  “第一,选用国歌作为音乐素材;第二,最后以长音收尾;第三,乐曲的配器增加长号。”代表军乐团在人民大会堂里工作了34年的张海峰根据自己的经验给创作者提出建议。

  在这样重要的场合上,使用的音乐元素需要慎重考虑,国歌无疑非常合适——它是国家的象征,足够庄重,仪式感强。

  乐曲以长音结尾,则蕴含微调的妙处。“举行宪法宣誓仪式时,宣誓人既可能是一位领导人,也可能是数位领导人,走到宣誓台前的脚步有快有慢。以长音收尾,便于根据实际情况对尾音做出调整。”张副团长说。

  至于乐器的选用,“通常说来,号角用小号作为主要乐器。但增加长号后,声部可以由3个变为8个。”短短20秒的乐曲才能够表现足够丰富的内涵。

  最终,创作了“9·3”阅兵号角、2018年元旦天安门升旗号角等作品的解放军军乐团创作室副主任郭思达完成了作曲任务。作品交回人大审定后,获得通过。军乐团又收到建议,再创作一首。

  “新的曲子可以使用国际歌作为素材,并增加乐器小军鼓。”张海峰从党代会闭幕式上演奏的国际歌得到灵感。

  最终,第一首曲子被选作宣誓仪式曲,第二首曲子由于打击乐的加入,节奏感强,更加激昂奋发、铿锵有力,成为主席出场号角。

  准 备

  解放军军乐团此次演奏宣誓仪式曲和主席出场号角时,在形式上做出了特别安排——通常只用在室外举行的国家典礼上的礼号,首次走进了人民大会堂。八面号旗挂在微微上扬的号管上,给人以耳目一新的感觉,仪式感更强,烘托典礼的隆重。

  In order to ensure that there are no mistakes in the performance at the constitutional oath ceremony, "I went to the General Assembly Hall to rehearse for five times." As the conductor of live performance at the venue, Zhang Haifeng said.

  However, the first rehearsal found problems. Generally, when a band plays, a certain distance will be left between the conductor and the musician, so that the musician can observe the conductor’s movements. However, limited by the space in the Great Hall of the People, there is only one row of seats between the conductor and the first row of musicians, and the stations are almost parallel. In the past, the band could make trombone players stand back by adjusting their formation. But this time, there are only eight trumpeters, eight trombones and two military drummers. In this way, the distance between the trombone player and the conductor is too close, and the line of sight is just blocked by the horn of the trombone, and the conductor’s action is completely invisible.

  In order to solve this problem, the military orchestra asked the musical instrument support personnel who should have been sitting in the back row to leave to make room, and the musicians moved back two rows as a whole.

  Play

  Eighteen performers of the PLA Military Orchestra have been carefully selected from the orchestra and participated in many important performance activities. They are of excellent quality and confident in their performances.

  However, because of the many "firsts" of activities, there is no experience to refer to, and I am still nervous. "The procedures for swearing-in activities need to be remembered in particular." For example, before president and the chairman of the Central Military Commission take the oath, the host of the conference will first announce the ceremony, and then broadcast it once by the live broadcast host of the conference. At this time, the performance will start; Before the vice chairman and members of the Central Military Commission take the oath collectively, the host of the live broadcast will increase the password of "Please take the oath in place".

  Before the performance, although Zhang Haifeng had memorized the procedure, his heart was still tense. The same is true for musicians. "At that time, some trumpeters were already inhaling and ready to play, but I couldn’t beat until the password was finished." Zhang Haifeng said, "All the comrades in the regiment are sweating for me."

  At the end of the performance, Zhang Haifeng felt proud and lucky. Proud, he participated in such groundbreaking activities on such a solemn and sacred occasion as a live conductor on behalf of the military orchestra. Fortunately, he caught up with the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the frequency of military orchestras participating in major foreign affairs activities has become higher and higher, which has made him personally feel that the international status of the motherland is constantly improving and the country’s development is getting better and better.

  Tips and representative works

  The Military Orchestra of China People’s Liberation Army belongs to the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission. Formerly known as the North China Military Region Military Band established in January 1948. In 1949, he participated in the founding ceremony in New China as the main band and played National Anthem of the People’s Republic of China for the first time. It was formally expanded and established in 1952.

  Over the years, the Military Orchestra has composed and performed more than 2,000 wind music works in different forms, and recorded and distributed hundreds of wind music tapes, records, music scores and monographs. Representative works include: Welcome March (Wei Qun), Farewell March (Zheng Lu), Flowers Song (Yan Xiao ‘ou), Athletes March (Jia Shuang), Horn of Handover Ceremony of Hong Kong and Macao (Wang Hesheng), Divided March (Luo Lang) and so on.

Like it! The "gutter oil" took the plane to the sky and flew across the Pacific Ocean.

  CCTV News:In the early morning of the 22nd, a flight independently developed by China for bio-aviation kerosene was added and landed smoothly in Chicago, USA. Surprisingly,The bio-jet fuel filled in this flight is made of waste cooking oil, which is what we call waste cooking oil!

  The first transoceanic commercial passenger flight of bio-jet fuel in China

  This is the first trans-ocean commercial passenger flight of bio-jet fuel in China.

  Hainan Airlines 787, fueled with China Petrochemical No.1 bio-jet fuel, took off from the Capital Airport at 14:15 Beijing time on the 21st. Carrying 186 passengers and 15 crew members, it landed smoothly at Chicago O ‘Hare International Airport at 2:11 am Beijing time on the 22nd after 11 hours and 41 minutes.

  Captain Sun Jianfeng:

  The whole flight was very smooth and smooth. The maximum flying altitude has reached 41,000 feet. The engine is in good condition. Fuel is in good condition. The purpose of this verification flight was completely achieved.

  canEffectively reduce carbon emissions

  Bioaviation kerosene takes renewable resources as raw materials, mainly includingCoconut oil and palm oilEtc., even includingAnimal fat, waste fat on the table, which is what we often call "gutter oil".

  Sinopec No.1 Bio-jet fuel used for transoceanic commercial passenger flights is made from waste cooking oil and blended with conventional jet fuel at a ratio of 15:85.

  The use of bio-jet fuel can effectively reduce carbon emissions while ensuring the original flight safety and efficiency.

  △ Data Map/From vision china

  Large-scale emission reduction: equivalent to planting 300 million trees a year

  Statistics show that 1 ton of traditional jet fuel will emit 3.2 tons of carbon dioxide after burning. At present, China’s jet fuel consumption is about 30 million tons. If all of them are replaced by bio-jet fuel, at least 30% of each ton of bio-jet fuel will be reduced, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 33 million tons a year, which is equivalent to planting nearly 300 million trees and stopping nearly 20 million economical cars for one year.

  Ji Yuan, deputy director of the Development Planning Department of the Civil Aviation Administration, said that bio-fuel is a very effective means for civil aviation to achieve the goal of emission reduction while expanding production.

  "Waste oil" breaks through the bottleneck of aviation industry development

  At the 2014 United Nations Climate Summit, China promised to reduce carbon emissions by 40%-45% by 2020, in which the civil aviation industry is a key target.

  Ji Yuan, Deputy Director of Development Planning Department of CAAC:

  The current goal of ICAO is carbon neutral growth after 2020. That is, after 2020, although production is still increasing, carbon emissions will no longer increase. Therefore, whichever country develops rapidly, the pressure on which country is bound to be great.

  The carbon dioxide emitted by biofuels can be absorbed by plants, and the carbon dioxide emission can be reduced by more than 35% or even more than 50% by this cycle. At the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of waste oil flowing to the table.

  Only four countries in the world have it.This technology

  China began to develop bio-jet fuel in 2006, and now it has become the second largest country after the United States, France and Finland.The fourth country with independent research and development technology of bio-jet fuel.

  In 2011, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company of China Petrochemical Company built the first demonstration device of bio-jet fuel industry in Asia in its production base, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons, which is enough for Beijing to fly to new york for 200-300 times.

The trick behind the huge amount of false invoicing: entertainment reception is completely reimbursed by public funds

  Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, April 12 th: The boss’s entertainment and over-standard reception all bought invoices for reimbursement of public funds-uncovering the "tricky" behind the case of false invoicing of more than 200 million yuan

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Liangheng from Xinhua Viewpoint

  All kinds of entertainment, gifts and red envelopes, and over-standard reception by the boss singing and fishing … … All this needs to be reimbursed with invoices and public funds. The police in Changsha, Hunan recently cracked a major case of false invoicing, which uncovered the tip of the iceberg of illegal public funds consumption.

  Since 2012, criminal gangs have falsely opened and resold invoices of more than 200 million yuan, and many units involved in the case have used the purchased invoices to "wash white" improper expenses. More than 40 units are listed in Changsha alone.

  A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that in recent years, with the deepening of the eight central regulations and anti-four winds, the behaviors of treating guests and giving gifts, eating and drinking, and giving subsidies indiscriminately have been greatly curbed. However, in some local government agencies, enterprises and institutions, the above-mentioned improper consumption still exists, and it has become hidden or even "legalized" through false invoicing and false expenses.

  Criminal gangs resell more than 200 million yuan of real invoices in four years.

  "All the invoices are real, all from supermarkets, shopping malls and hotels in Changsha." Yin Bo, head of the discipline inspection team of Changsha State Taxation Inspection Bureau, said that the amount of a gang suspected of falsely issuing invoices was as high as 200 million yuan, which was the first case seized in Hunan Province since the imprisonment of falsely issuing ordinary invoices in 2011, and the case value was rare in China.

  Wang Mohu, a 32-year-old native of dengzhou city, Henan Province, has a criminal record. When doing the business of recycling shopping cards in shopping malls and supermarkets, he found that many "card dealers" in Beijing also made profits by reselling invoices in shopping malls and supermarkets, so he moved the idea of reselling invoices.

  In 2012, Wang Mohu came to Changsha and found that the local invoice dealers sold fake invoices, and they didn’t know that they could make money by selling real invoices. Wang Mohu then tried his best to get in touch with the salespersons and financial personnel in Changsha shopping malls and supermarkets. After receiving the "work", he secretly opened the invoice as required.

  After earning money, Wang Mohu bought luxury cars and brand-name clothes, and lavished himself as a "big boss", gradually becoming "famous" in the "circle", and many fake invoice dealers joined his gang one after another.

  "Under the temptation of interests, Wang Mohu built a criminal network of selling invoices with him as the core, around Changsha Railway Station and Yuanjialing, involving more than 30 people off the assembly line." Chen Yaosong, deputy head of Changsha Economic Investigation Detachment, said.

  Since 2012, Wang Mohu’s gang has collected customers’ orders by distributing business cards, posting small advertisements, sending short messages in groups, and distributing online advertisements, charging the "billing fee" of ticket buyers at 1.5% to 6% of the billing amount, and paying benefits to relevant financial personnel or salespersons at 1% to 3.5% of the billing amount. Before the incident, the gang was suspected of falsely issuing ordinary invoices amounting to more than 200 million yuan.

  According to reports from the masses, in May 2015, the Economic Investigation Detachment of Changsha arrested 14 suspects, including the principal offenders Wang Mohu and Qin Mouwei, destroyed 2 dens, temporarily detained a large number of computers and other items involved, and collected 41 forged seals of shopping malls and companies.

  Buy invoices for all kinds of "hard" expenses.

  Where do a large number of invoices flow? Liuyong, head of the Sixth Brigade of the Economic Investigation Detachment of Changsha Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of handling the case, said that most of the companies involved in the purchase of invoices were major banks, insurance companies, securities companies, pharmaceutical companies, real estate and tourism companies, as well as government agencies, institutions and state-owned enterprises. Most of them are in Hunan province, and they also involve Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Hubei provinces and cities.

  Yin Bo introduced that the general invoices issued by Wang Mohu’s gang are mostly office supplies, labor insurance supplies, computer consumables, cultural and sports supplies, meals and conference fees. While providing genuine invoices, they can also provide fake blank detailed lists, and then affix the seals of privately carved shopping malls, supermarkets and hotels, and buyers can fill in the specific contents as needed.

  "All units purchase invoices for various purposes, such as granting subsidies, treating guests and giving gifts, coordinating relationships, and receiving customers. According to the regulations, these expenses cannot be charged in the unit accounts, so they are reimbursed by buying invoices. " Chen Yaosong said that the essence of this behavior is to extract unit funds for all kinds of "hard-to-say" expenses.

  A staff member of a state-owned enterprise in Hunan Province said that in the daily business activities of enterprises, public money consumption such as gift money, red envelopes and over-standard reception still exists more or less secretly. According to the financial regulations of state-owned enterprises, these expenses cannot be directly recorded, and most of the managers will ask invoice dealers to buy ordinary invoices that can be charged to the project for reimbursement.

  "No matter what the nature of the unit, the act of falsely invoicing and withdrawing funds does not comply with relevant laws and regulations, and it is very likely that corruption will be hidden." Yuan Baishun, executive director of the Integrity Research Center of Hunan University, said.

  In recent years, discipline inspection and auditing organs at all levels have investigated and dealt with many typical cases of falsely issuing invoices and obtaining funds. For example, in 2015, the feedback report of the special inspection conducted by the Tenth Inspection Team of the Central Committee on China Association for Science and Technology showed that the financial system of China Association for Science and Technology was not perfect, the management and use of funds were not standardized, and false invoice reimbursement and illegal subsidies were frequent.

  In June 2014, the audit results of CIC’s 2012 profit and loss of assets and liabilities released by the National Audit Office showed that since 2010, cathay pacific fund used fake invoices to collect funds of 43.3004 million yuan, which was used to pay sales staff rewards outside the account, of which 17.9325 million yuan occurred in 2012.

  Strengthening the management of surplus invoices, the reimbursement system needs to be improved

  Why can invoice dealers issue a large number of real invoices from shopping malls and supermarkets? The financial director of a large supermarket enterprise in Changsha told the reporter that large commercial retail enterprises pay taxes according to statements, not invoices, and many consumers may not ask for invoices from merchants, so shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels and catering enterprises have a large number of surplus invoices.

  Yin Bo introduced that if the turnover of a supermarket is 200 million yuan a year, but the invoices demanded by customers are actually only 100 million yuan, a surplus invoice of 100 million yuan will be formed. These surplus invoices give criminals an opportunity to collude with the "insiders" of commercial enterprises and issue invoices according to the names specified by the ticket buyers.

  Insiders pointed out that in order to cut off the interest chain of reselling invoices, we must prevent surplus invoices from flowing out at the source. Public security and tax departments should intensify investigation and punishment, urge commercial retail enterprises involved to crack down on "insiders", plug loopholes and implement stricter supervision and management of surplus invoices.

  "Failure to fill in the invoice names according to regulations is also prohibited by laws and regulations. For this kind of behavior, at present, the tax authorities mainly give administrative punishment, but the punishment is small, which does not play a deterrent role at all. In order to attract business, some merchants fill in the invoice name at will, as long as they are within the business scope, it is no problem to open anything. " Yin Bo suggested that the tax authorities and the judicial authorities should strengthen the linkage and severely crack down on the act of falsely filling out the invoice names according to law.

  The key to cracking down on the sale of invoices is to curb demand. Yuan Baishun said that in terms of audit supervision mechanism, relevant departments should innovate "civil air defense" and "technical defense" measures, carry out account investigation and invoice investigation, and accurately identify behaviors such as false invoicing, false expenses, and inconsistent accounts. In financial management, government agencies, enterprises and institutions should improve the invoice reimbursement responsibility system and formulate strict invoice reimbursement procedures and requirements. For example, when reimbursing, the handler is required to provide a machine-made detailed list, and strict restrictions are imposed on the detailed list filled in manually, which increases the operational difficulty of false expenses.

  "In addition to severely punishing invoice dealers, it is also possible to strictly investigate a number of units and individuals that receive a large amount of tickets and withdraw more funds in accordance with the law, and increase the illegal cost." Chen Yaosong said.
