After 2014, the Olympic Games won the prize, and all kinds of training courses were cancelled without cooling down.

After 2014, the Olympic Games won the prize, and all kinds of training courses were cancelled without cooling down.

　　A few days ago, Beijing again issued a ban on cleaning up the Olympic Games, once again occupying a prominent position in major portals. In fact, as early as 2001, the Ministry of Education issued a ban, stipulating that the results of "Olympic Games" should not be linked to enrollment; In November 2010, the Ministry of Education made it clear that starting from 2014, the Olympic College Entrance Examination will be cancelled.

　　However, the reporter’s investigation found that the Olympic Games has been stopped for 11 years, but this "high-speed train" has never stopped, and the Olympic Games training is still hot. Why is the Olympic Games training not cooling down? How can we make the Olympic Games no longer simply become a "stepping stone" for further studies?

　　This year’s college entrance examination, Liu Yi from Bashu Middle School was successfully admitted to the mathematics major of Peking University. Because Liu Yi has won many awards in national mathematics competitions: the second prize of China Mathematical Olympics in 2012 and the first prize of the National Senior High School Mathematics League (provincial division) for three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011.

　　Liu Yi is just one of the college entrance examination graduates who were walked. In this year’s college entrance examination, 80 students in our city were admitted to well-known universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fudan University for winning the competition, accounting for 39% of the 203 students admitted.

　　In 2014, the Olympic College Entrance Examination was cancelled.

　　Independent enrollment is preferred.

　　In 2011, among the 186 students who walked in the college entrance examination in our city, 69 students won prizes because of academic competitions, accounting for 37% of the total number of students who walked, and 7 of them won prizes in the Olympic Games. In 2010, 63 students in our city were walked because of winning the competition, accounting for 40% of the 159 students walked that year, among which 8 students won the national Olympic Mathematical Competition. Throughout the past three years, nearly 40% of the students who walk in the college entrance examination in our city are winners of various competitions, except those recommended by Chongqing Foreign Languages School.

　　However, this situation will change in 2014.

　　In 2010, the Ministry of Education launched a plan to standardize and adjust some college entrance examination plus points. From the college entrance examination in 2014, the students who could have been eligible for walking in the national finals of the Olympic Games and the first prize of the Olympic Games Division will no longer be eligible for walking in the future, but under the same conditions, the colleges and universities applied by students will be given priority to participate in the independent selection and admission assessment of their own schools.

　　Top class expands thinking

　　"Olympic math class" continues under another name.

　　Although the Olympic Games winners will cancel the college entrance examination walk from 2014, the Olympic Games training is still hot.

　　On the morning of November 2, a female teacher at the Learning and Thinking Service Center in the Three Gorges Square in Shapingba District said that their Olympic math training is divided into "top class" and "extraordinary class". In which class children can enter, they must first take an entrance test. From the fifth grade, they must learn seven major sections of primary school Olympic math: calculation, geometry, itinerary, number theory, counting, applied questions and miscellaneous questions. If you have a good foundation, you can finish the knowledge of junior high school for several years.

　　According to reports, each class has a class once a week, and the cost of 15 classes is 1820 yuan. A class usually enrolls about 20 students. The teacher said that the number of places in the autumn class is full, and the class has been started five times. If you are worried that your child can’t keep up, it is recommended to wait until the beginning of December to attend the winter vacation class or the spring class next year.

　　On the afternoon of November 3rd, at a training school in Yangjiaping Pedestrian Street, the mathematics training of the school was called "Expanding Thinking". The person in charge of the school told the reporter that there is no special Olympic math class at present. For students whose math scores are above 95 at ordinary times, if they have special requirements for studying Olympic math, the school will arrange special teachers to attend classes, and the cost is about 140 yuan ~160 yuan/hour.

　　The reporter visited a number of training institutions and found that some of the textbooks used in these training courses were compiled according to the Olympic Mathematics textbooks, and some were excerpted from the Olympic Mathematics textbooks. The examples and exercises were almost the same. Compared with the past Olympic math class, only the name has changed.

　　Mathematics class is the hottest.

　　The school competition class is still not cooling down.

　　Olympic Mathematical Training is still popular in training institutions, has it cooled down in various schools?

　　"Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, informatics, all disciplines have competition classes, and many students have signed up. However, the hottest thing is the math class. " Xiao Jing (a pseudonym), a senior two girl from a directly affiliated school in Shapingba District, said, "Maybe everyone thinks that the math foundation is better, so they all want to spell math."

　　"Almost all the students in the experimental class reported to the competition class, and many students in the parallel class also participated in the training." Xiao Yang, a senior two boy from Bashu Middle School, said that he signed up for the biology class he was most interested in.

　　"After the cancellation of the walk, some students’ enthusiasm is declining, but those who should participate will still participate." Teacher Zhou, who has been the head coach of a middle school for a long time, said that, for example, more than 50 freshmen are taking part in his tutoring this year. The reporter’s investigation found that key middle schools in our city, especially those directly under the Municipal Education Commission, such as No.1 Middle School, No.3 Middle School, No.8 Middle School and Bashu Middle School, still offer various subject competition classes in all grades of high school.

　　Nearly 70% of the respondents said that they had trained.

　　Olympic Games is trapped in the embarrassment of "10,000 people sparring"

　　According to the survey report of China Social Investigation Institute on families in large and medium-sized cities in China, 68% of school-age children have participated in Olympic Games training. 57% of the respondents said that it was to give children the opportunity to enter a prestigious school; 48% is to cultivate children’s logical thinking ability; Only 4% said that "children are willing to attend the Olympic Games".

　　"Learning the Olympic Games is very bitter and boring. Many students gave up later, and only a few won the prize in the end." Xiao Liu, who won the first prize in the National Biology Competition for Middle School Students last year and was sent to Peking University, said.

　　"There are many students who have participated in the training, but there are very few students who can finally win the award and get the qualification to walk." The person in charge of the Academic Affairs Office of a key middle school told the reporter that a large number of students participate in the Olympic Games in various subjects every year, but most of them become "sparring partners". For example, there are thousands of students in Chongqing who participate in the National Mathematics League, and only about 20 students finally win the prize and get the qualification to walk.

　　cause

　　Winning the prize to become a prestigious school’s independent enrollment "knocking on the door"

　　Why is it that after knowing that the Olympic Games won the prize and canceled the walk, the training in disciplines such as Olympic Mathematics has not cooled down?

　　"There are three ways to enter a famous university: one is to get good grades in the naked college entrance examination, the other is to take the independent entrance examination of famous universities, and the third is to win prizes in competitions." Xiao Jing said that although winning the prize is no longer eligible for walking, it can still increase the chips in the independent enrollment of famous universities.

　　"The purpose of my training is to win the prize, so that I can take the independent entrance examination in the future." Xiao Huang, a senior two boy from Chongqing No.1 Middle School, said frankly that he hopes to win the prize in the national Olympic Mathematical Competition, which is a "stepping stone" for the independent enrollment of famous universities.

　　In fact, "winning the Olympic Games" is still one of the conditions for many prestigious schools to enroll themselves. For example, Nanjing University’s self-enrollment plan A in 2012 clearly wrote the conditions such as "those who won the first prize at the provincial level in the national Olympics in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics or those who won the second prize in the provincial division in both mathematics and physics" into the enrollment brochure. Shandong University’s conditions for self-enrollment and self-recommendation in 2012 also include "candidates who won the second prize and above in the provincial division".

　　Li Changming, vice president of the Municipal Academy of Education, said: "The Olympic Games is hot, because many students are still studying for extra points and independent enrollment of famous universities, so we can’t expect a paper document to save the Olympic Games." "The winners of the Olympic Games are important targets for independent enrollment and selection of key universities at present." Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, also believes that there are 80 key universities with independent enrollment qualifications in China, and their concern for Olympic winners will not be cancelled with the cancellation of the qualification for walking. The root of "Olympic fever" is that the college entrance examination still selects students with a single score standard.

　　Benefits Blow the "Bubble" of the Olympic Games

　　The headmaster of a key middle school in our city told the reporter that the Olympic Games is a global competition. Foreign students study the Olympic Games out of interest, usually attending training classes in winter and summer vacations, but the domestic Olympic Games training has completely changed, and there is an invisible interest chain behind it.

　　It is understood that the Olympic Games has formed a complete interest chain covering training, textbook writing and publishing, competitions, etc.: training institutions charge fees by running Olympic Games classes; Research institutions make money by processing Olympic Games teaching materials; The organizers earn money by holding various competitions, and the economic interests make the utilitarianism of the Olympic Games more obvious.

　　The reporter investigated a number of Olympic Games training institutions and learned that at present, the cost of each training course in Olympic Games in our city ranges from 1,800 yuan to 5,000 yuan, with teachers ranging from retired teachers to Olympic Games coaches from prestigious schools. It is reported that the Beijing Olympic Games market will reach 2 billion yuan in one year. Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that there is a training market with a share of more than 200 billion yuan, 80% of which is subject-based training, including primary and secondary school training, including Olympic Mathematics.

　　suggestion

　　Multi-evaluation system should be established in college entrance examination

　　"If we don’t break the cycle of the college entrance examination, it will be difficult to cool down the Olympic Games fever. The college entrance examination should not only examine people by scores, but also establish a credible multi-evaluation system. The evaluation and selection of talents should be more targeted at people themselves, rather than relying on certificates and awards." Li Changming, vice president of the Municipal Academy of Education, believes that it is also meaningful to retain the extra points in the Olympic Games. After all, the Olympic Games is one of the ways to test students’ academic specialties and potential, which can meet the development needs of a small number of candidates with special talents. We should intensify the reform of the college entrance examination and crack the strange circle of taking exams.

　　"The vast majority of students learn the Olympic Games, or to improve their test scores. There are very few students who are really interested in participating in the Olympic Games." Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, thinks that, therefore, despite the cancellation of the Olympic Games in many places, the Olympic Games is still very hot. Because the pursuit of high scores in subject examinations is the common pursuit of all parents and students. The best way to really cool down the "Olympic fever" is to reform the college entrance examination system and establish a diversified evaluation system.

　　In 2001, the Ministry of Education issued a ban, stipulating that the results of "Olympic Games" should not be linked to enrollment.

　　In November, 2010, the Ministry of Education and other five departments launched a plan to standardize and adjust some college entrance examination plus points. Students who won the first prize in the national finals of the Olympic Games and the first prize in the Olympic Games Division will no longer be eligible for walks, but under the same conditions, colleges and universities applied by students will be given priority to participate in the independent selection and admission assessment of their own schools.

　　In August, 2012, the Ministry of Education issued a "supervision order" to start school in autumn, forbidding the holding of training courses linked to enrollment, resolutely stopping the behavior of linking the Olympic Mathematics in disguise, and not setting up or setting up key classes in disguise.

30 years after foreign pharmaceutical companies entered China, Lilly, Pfizer and Merck’s new ways of playing.

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:Deep blue view (id: mic-sh 366), Author: Gao Yi, editor: Wang Chen, head picture from: vision china.

In May, 2023, with the latest data of the most Alzheimer’s disease drug from Lilly, this century-old pharmaceutical company continued to sound the upward horn, and its market value climbed to the $400 billion mark, becoming the most valuable pure drug enterprise in history.

When the stories in the field of cancer were exhausted, the investors on Wall Street found the track of "losing weight" and continued to write the myth that the pharmaceutical industry will always go up, which also contributed to the market value growth of Novo Nordisk and Lilly this year. Years of hard work in the CNS field has added a icing on the cake to Lilly.

However, Lilly global is flourishing, and the voice of Lilly China seems to be getting smaller and smaller this year.

Lilly’s last big event in China was the 2022 new medical insurance catalogue at the beginning of this year. Four new products/indications successfully entered medical insurance, including two cooperative products from Cinda. In the past year, the only pipeline renewal that can be seen in China, one is RET inhibitor and the other is a hair loss product, which obviously goes against the thickness of Lilly global’s powerful product pipeline.

From the time point of view, Lilly is one of the first batch of big manufacturers to bet on China. As early as 2012, Lilly moved its R&D center to China, trying to speed up the listing of global products in China. However, the R&D center in China District opened early and closed early. Perhaps it is the long-term single-digit income ratio in China District, which makes this MNC factory unwilling to invest more energy in cultivation;The rise of local enterprises in these years has also had some run-on effects on foreign enterprises to some extent. In 2022, Lilly’s China business contracted to 1.453 billion US dollars, down by 10 percentage points.(Source: Huachuang Securities).

More than courtesy, under the double pressure of competition between VBP and local enterprises in the past two years, the domestic business of multinational giants has shrunk. One is that the speed of introducing products from foreign companies is slower than in previous years, and the other is that the demand for talents is becoming more and more Buddhist.

A headhunter said that since the second half of last year, the recruitment needs of foreign pharmaceutical companies in all functions, whether business or clinical, have declined; Some non-business core positions that were quite popular a few years ago(such as "digital innovation", etc.)In the past two years, it has almost disappeared completely.

The basic executive positions such as medical representatives were originally the most mobile, but the post pattern has not changed much in the past two years. A person who pays attention to this kind of market mentioned that this is related to the slow iteration of new products in the past two years. Even if new products are listed, they are basically handed over to the original team to do it together. For example, BMS set up a separate team for PD-1 in 2018, which has not been seen in the last two years.

However, although Lilly’s pharmaceutical business in China is operated by Buddhism, it does not prevent Lilly from embracing the rapid growth of this emerging domestic market in other ways. For example, Lilly cooperates with Hutchison and Cinda to help them bring their products to the market, even to Europe and America, and use the resources of their own big factories to earn a share of the money; Another example is LAV, which is synonymous with the success of domestic biomedical first-level investment.

Neither the introduction/authorized cooperation nor the next incubation is exclusive to Lilly. Other multinational pharmaceutical companies have been running in China for nearly 30 years, and now they are slowly adapting to the ever-changing new market with some comfortable postures.

First, "retreat to the high-end route"

In January, 2023, the annual meeting of Huizhi, which was formed by the merger of Pfizer’s mature business units Puqiang and Mylan, was held in Macau, with an exceptionally grand scale.

Behind the luxury annual meeting is its solid growth. According to a participant, Huizhi’s in-hospital sales data this year is obviously better than expected, and the business authorities dare not talk about the specific figures too high-profile, but only give a growth curve that looks obviously upward. Last year’s Huizhi, the bonuses of the sales teams were also exceptionally good.

The number of hospital growth data of Huizhi China is unknown, but from the financial report of Huizhi last year, Greater China was in Q4 last year.(after the epidemic)Year-on-year growth reached 10%. Last year, China earned 2.201 billion US dollars, making it the only market with positive year-on-year growth in net profit.

The main driver of the growth of Huizhi China is Lipitor.(atorvastatin)Luo huoxi(amlodipine)And Xanax(Alprazolam)Among them, the first two were included in the national procurement catalogue long ago. This makes the whole market rethink a question:Is volume a good business after all?

Although the head foreign companies represented by Pfizer and AstraZeneca have launched a series of "grassroots" movements in the past few years, in 2021, Pfizer’s grassroots team reached 600 people, and AstraZeneca’s county team reached a maximum of 4,500 people.

At first, everyone’s idea was to be in a vast market with a super large base. Every 1 percentage point increase in penetration rate is a big increase in the overall scale. However, the following nationwide procurement with quantity not only greatly reduced the profit margin of drugs, but also introduced a large number of "barefoot" players who had never paved the way for the market, which made the "grass-roots strategy" of these large foreign companies a decoration.

Considering the welfare and per capita output, the sales efficiency of foreign pharmaceutical companies is inherently inferior to that of local players, so they can only "retreat" to the high-end market.

Of course, choosing a "high-end market" also requires selective capital. "High-end" doesn’t really mean that products are much higher than competitors in quality and clinical data, but more is a process of brand and doctor-patient psychological cognition, which is inseparable from the long-term market education made by these big manufacturers and the dozens of academic forums that have been smashed in the past decade.

Therefore, sales is not a simple "department meeting" and a dinner party. Whether it is a foreign pharmaceutical company or a local rising star, if you really value your products, the work of the marketing department is indispensable. It should be pointed out that this budget often needs to be integrated into the pricing of a drug.

Both centralized purchasing and medical insurance negotiation can solve the problem of "accessibility" to a certain extent, but the effective use of drugs also needs the promotion of pharmaceutical companies themselves.

Back to Pfizer’s business in China, as long as this "high-end" strategy can still operate normally at present, new products from global will be continuously injected and then profits will be contributed to the world.

This kind of "China agent of multinational pharmaceutical companies" business is also the most classic and good game for foreign pharmaceutical companies. Pfizer is doing it, and Takeda, Novartis, GSK and so on are basically following this strategy at present.

When the global products of these multinational pharmaceutical companies are not strong enough, these companies will also make some deeper attempts in China.

Second, BD cooperates to make a fire by the stove.

Among them, the most representative belongs to Merck.

Although the ceiling of tumor immunotherapy and drug K have now become the proper "drug king", Merck has actually had nothing to do with the treatment field of tumor for a long time.

Merck secured the TOP5 position in the world with simvastatin and losartan. Since then, it has been supported by two major categories: anti-infection and vaccine, and has made heavy income in several sub-sectors such as AIDS, hepatitis C and HPV. Therefore, even in the early 21st century, Roche’s three monoclonal antibodies have already begun to take shape, but the proud Merck seems to have no need to know what antibody drugs are, so he met Schering-Plough.(K medicine source prescription)Before, there were almost no macromolecular products in Merck’s laboratory.

In the second decade, biopharmaceuticals slowly moved to the center of the stage. Half of the TOP10 best-selling products in the world were protein drugs, and Merck himself tasted the sweetness of K drugs. However, the cultivation cycle of biomedical technology needs to be calculated in ten years. It is not easy for Merck, which lacks macromolecular genes, to come up with a mature antibody drug platform to adapt to the pipeline development of such a billion-dollar giant in a short time.

So,When ADC took over the immune products and went to the foreground, Merck, who couldn’t wait, had to put down his body and seek external cooperation.

Therefore, Merck found Seagen, the "originator of ADC", because of his great family business. However, Seagen, whose price has been difficult to negotiate, ended up with Pfizer, which paid an extra $12 billion directly to intercept Hu Merck.

Merck, on the other hand, had to focus on Collen, an old friend of China, and directly won nine ADC molecules in one breath, which was less than a quarter of Seagen’s acquisition even if all the total package prices were included. Merck’s deal could not be said to be uneconomical.

In May this year, Ms. Ji Juan, the head of Merck’s business development and authorization in Greater China, mentioned at the third Sequoia Global Medical and Health Industry Summit: "Merck’s product introduction is distributed in various treatment fields, clinical stages and different mechanisms." Merck will not only focus on one or two big therapeutic fields now, as long as things are good, it can be digested. To some extent, it also reflects the comprehensiveness of large factories.

Merck’s eclectic products contributed half of the company’s revenue last year. If the ADC field continues to deepen and become more and more accepted by the global market, a considerable part of Merck’s tens of billions of dollars in revenue in the future may come from laboratories in China.

With the domestic R&D-clinical capability reaching a higher level, it is not uncommon for China to feed back the world.License out has also become a commonplace topic.But an interesting point is that the number of domestic and foreign authorizations and the total amount of cooperation are increasing, but the down payment is decreasing.

On the one hand, "returns" have become more frequent in the past two years, such as the ADC of Genting Xinyao, the PD-1 of Cinda, and the BTK of Nuocheng Jianhua, which has reduced the certainty of this authorized cooperation;

On the other hand, whether local enterprises or partners, everyone is more willing to seek innovation in the model, and both sides make a concession and take what they need to tell the story more satisfactorily. For example, Cinda and Sanofi, and for example, Merck and Columbine Botai, both of which are mixed with equity transactions.

However, in a mature market, the BD transaction of License in/out itself is a very common thing. The details such as transaction amount, down payment, object and method only reflect the strategic choice of participants at this time node. When the valuation is high, the efficiency of self-research is higher than that of external mergers and acquisitions, and when the industry is deserted, large companies with spare money are more suitable for expansion.(rather than self-research).

The diversification and normalization of BD cooperation shows that the biomedical market in China is slowly maturing.

Third, hatch in person

After the dissolution of AstraZeneca China R&D Center, it became Di Zhe. After running for less than three years, it landed in science and technology innovation board and rose from the bottom of last year, and its share price tripled at the highest. AstraZeneca, as a major shareholder accounting for 26% of the shares, in addition to the premium on financial investment, it can carry out in-depth cooperation on the product pipeline through Dizhe in the future.

More importantly, AstraZeneca can use the business card Dizhe to do some deeper cooperation in finance and project mergers and acquisitions in the future. A typical example is AstraZeneca Zhongjin Medical Industry Fund, which was established with CICC the year before last. It is very comfortable in fundraising and investment, and currently holds 13 medical and medical projects. AstraZeneca’s business in China is increasingly diversified.

In addition to AstraZeneca, Deqi Medicine, which was established in 2016 with the support of Xinji Medicine, a leading global biopharmaceutical company, also has a little "incubation nature".

The founder of Deqi Medicine comes from the R&D executives of Xinji. Half of the main projects come from Xinji, and some of the money from Angel Wheel just landed is given by Xinji. However, considering that Xinji’s share in Deqi was less than 6% at the time of IPO, it was not controlled, but it was an enterprise hatched by Xinji after all.

What can be controlled is called "incubation", and what can’t be controlled can only be called "deep cooperation"In addition to Deqi, another big hand of Xinji is Baekje.

In 2017, Xinji awarded a cooperation with a total amount of US$ 1.393 billion, which not only helped Baekje just listed on the US stock market, but also boosted its prosperity. At the same time, it used its own mature products and the commercialization team of Xinji Company acquired by Baekje in China to promote Baekje to establish a commercialization system.After this cooperation, Baekje was arrogant all the way, and the market value of US stocks almost caught up with Japan’s MNC giant Takeda. However, Xinji itself sold herself to BMS in 2019, and this cooperation was suspended. The "breakup" between Xinji and Baekje may have been doomed.

Amgen replaced Xinji and continued to cooperate with Baekje in depth, which is also "giving money and products". Perhaps it is more optimistic about the potential of this company. Unlike Xinji, Amgen directly turned itself into a major shareholder of Baekje.

It is worth mentioning that nowadays, the cooperation between multinational pharmaceutical companies and local companies is more and more diversified, not limited to one or two ways.

For example, Baekje and Amgen are deeply bound, and Baekje also supports the construction of its tumor pipeline to Novartis License out products, while the latter, while the pipeline is supplemented, can also empower Baekje to commercialize in the world;

Furthermore, AstraZeneca’s cooperation with the local area can be described as "dazzling": green leaf exchange products, binding with Internet channel geeks, introducing the ADC of No.1 and No.3, and introducing the ADC of Connoa/Lepu Bio at the same time … As for other sales and market cooperation, there are countless more.

The reason why foreign companies are more and more willing to play is that the rules of the game are more and more fair.

In the past two decades, a few domestic enterprises have the ability to develop compound technology to meet the differentiated needs of the low-level market that foreign pharmaceutical companies cannot cover. Most so-called pharmaceutical companies only earn coins in the circulation field.

With the improvement of the independent ability of the pharmaceutical industry, the wave of innovation is superimposed. From following imitation to innovation self-sufficiency to "in China for global", the productivity of foreign companies’ products is no longer suppressed, and the policy protection of local pharmaceutical companies is becoming more and more negligible. Everyone is playing together at the same level and conditions.

Behind this is the growing maturity of the entire pharmaceutical industry in China.

Maturity also means that local pharmaceutical companies need to abandon the luck of "home advantage" and come up with 100% strength to compete with these large foreign companies with a history of 100 years.

4S shop cheat people routine upgrade, even if more money, but also add sugar to the engine oil!

whenWhen the car needs maintenance and repair, our first choice is definitely the 4S shop, followed by the car repair shop on the street. In our country, most 4S shops and repair shops are "conscience merchants", but it is inevitable that some unscrupulous merchants will do something to fool the owners! Even an old driver, it is inevitable that he has been cheated!

forIn order to make money, some 4S shops or repair shops always have various means for you to find it to repair cars, such as putting sugar in engine oil, adding salt in antifreeze, adding brine in gearbox oil, etc. It’s really unexpected for you, and you can’t do it without them!

thatDoes the high price of a 4S store mean high service quality, so there is no problem? And the car repair shop on the street is cheap, is the service quality unreliable? Today, Worry-Free Brother tells you about some insider stories that are common in 4S shops and auto repair shops. What "traps" should car owners pay attention to during maintenance?

Why is the 4s shop so expensive? Is it really okay?

First, shorten the maintenance cycle

vehicleAs you all know, after the new car has been running for two or three months, there will be a phone call or SMS notification from the 4S shop to remind you to maintain it. By the way, how many kilometers have it been running? For example: "Dear car owner friend, your car is about to be serviced. Failure to maintain it on time may cause damage to the car and affect the warranty. I suggest you enter the store for maintenance as soon as possible."

haveSome car owners started to panic as soon as they heard that the car was not good for the car, and it would also affect the warranty. They immediately drove the car to the 4S shop for maintenance. Finally, after the maintenance, they found that the car had only driven 5,000 kilometers, so it would cost so much. Will it be later?

thatThe real 4S shop knows that many car owners don’t read the vehicle manual, and they have little knowledge of the car, so most of them will use similar routines to let the car owners maintain in advance or for many times. In fact, the maintenance cycle is not that short at all.

Second, recommend unnecessary maintenance items and excessive maintenance.

4SShops often recommend some extra maintenance items to car owners, or do extra maintenance for cars without the owner’s knowledge. When the owner saw the list of charges, he knew that he had been pitted, and even many car owners were still in the dark after being pitted many times.

exampleIf you only need to change the brake pads, you can change all the brake discs by the way. If the air conditioner is not cooled, just change the refrigerant, but tell the owner that the compressor is broken.

placeWhen the car owners are maintaining in the 4S shop, they must carefully observe the maintenance list confirmed to you before maintenance. Once they find something wrong, they should immediately ask for correction.

Three, the project is not complete.

currentThere should be a few 4S shops that will do this. After all, many car owners ask to check the accessories that have been changed for themselves and the replaced accessories. However, it can be said that cutting corners is commonplace in the auto repair industry, and this kind of thing may happen whether it is a 4S shop or an outside auto repair shop.

Street repair shops are cheap, can the quality be relied on?

First, the quality of accessories is uneven

byThere are many auto repair shops outside, and the competition between them is fierce, which leads to many auto repair shops fiddling with the accessories, but taking the deputy factory parts at the price of the original parts.

such asIf you want to prevent the occurrence of shoddy accessories, the owner should watch while repairing the vehicle, and carefully compare the new accessories with the original ones to see if there is a big difference. If you see anything wrong, you can change to a garage for maintenance.

Second, a small amount of weight is lacking

thisThis one is the least technical, except that the old engine oil can’t be put clean, the new engine oil can be saved, two spark plugs can be replaced less, and the coolant can be mixed with water.

thatIn fact, whether it is in a 4S shop or a roadside repair shop, it is the same, but the same job is changed to a workplace. Therefore, when the car is being maintained, you don’t feel at ease, try to follow it and read the maintenance list clearly. If you hand it over to the 4s shop/repair shop for handling, the effect may not be good after the car is repaired, and you may spend more money.

Internet plus adds new vitality to agriculture.

Internet plus adds new vitality to agriculture.

On July 2nd, the State Council held a routine briefing on the State Council’s policies, introducing the related situation of further promoting "Internet+agriculture" to promote the integration and development of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries. Qu Dongyu, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Keke, Director of Market and Economic Information Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and Zong Jinyao, Director of Agricultural Products Processing Bureau attended the meeting and answered questions from reporters.

Grasp the standardization of agricultural products and guide production and sales with big data.

"The top priority of’ Internet+Agriculture’ is to promote agricultural products out of the village." Qu Dongyu said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will help farmers to sell high-quality, qualified and distinctive agricultural products to cities. This requires us to work with relevant departments to formulate policies, including traceability and standardization of the quality and safety of agricultural products, grading packaging and cold chain logistics, to ensure that agricultural products leave the village and can be sold at a good price.

"China is a big country with small farmers. How to connect with the big market, the Internet provides a rare historical opportunity and means." Qu Dongyu said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will cooperate with the village-leaving project to help agricultural products from poor areas and other distinctive areas connect with hundreds of millions of small farmers in the big market, and work with relevant departments to issue guidance on agricultural products leaving the village as soon as possible.

The difficulty of unsalable agricultural products has been puzzling the development of agriculture and the increase of farmers’ income in recent years. "Standardization and grading pretreatment of agricultural products are prerequisites for realizing transactions." Qu Dongyu said that in recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has been focusing on the construction of wholesale markets for agricultural products and improving the standard level of wholesale markets.

In May, fans saved a month’s money to buy fake tickets, and tears ran outside the Bird’s Nest.

　　On the evening of 26th, the May Day "Just Rock It" concert was held in the Bird’s Nest of the National Stadium, which kicked off the three-night continuous singing. The Beijing Morning Post reporter learned that there were nearly 100,000 fans who came to watch the performance, among which the figure of scalper was indispensable. Because one ticket is hard to find, many fans have to buy tickets through scalpers. But some scalpers actually sell fake tickets, which makes fans cry. Barley net staff said that more than 50 fake tickets were investigated and dealt with on the evening of 26th. In addition, the public security organs have closely supervised the concert site and have arrested more than 10 illegal elements.

　　Students were cheated out of pocket money for one month.

　　At 5: 30 pm on the 26th, the reporter came outside the Bird’s Nest, one hour before the concert started, but some scalpers had gathered on the way from the subway exit to the entrances of various areas of the Bird’s Nest. "Want a ticket? Cheap, good location. " The scalper is holding the ticket in his hand and shouting at the passers-by. The reporter noticed that the organizers made a lot of reminders to prevent scalpers and fake tickets, but there were still fans who were "recruited".

　　"I saved a month’s pocket money just to see my idol, but I didn’t expect to draw water with a sieve." When Xiao Zhao, a college student, told the reporter about his experience, his eyes sparkled with tears. She has been fascinated by Mayday since junior high school, and she can be regarded as a die-hard fan. Xiao Zhao knows that tickets for the Mayday concert are hard to find. Before that, I didn’t grab them on the regular ticketing website, and I plan to try my luck at the scene.

　　"Before I came, I found on the Internet that grandstand tickets generally have to be increased at least in 100 yuan." On the verge of the opening ceremony, Xiao Zhao was a little anxious, but at this moment someone happened to sell her tickets, and the original price was 555 yuan to sell 450 yuan. "On the surface, there is no difference between this ticket and the real ticket, and the man said that he lost money because he had already started." Hearing this, Xiao Zhao was a little moved, but she thought she had picked up a big bargain. She was stopped when she entered the venue and was told that it was a fake ticket.

　　More than 50 fake tickets were found on the spot.

　　Barley net’s staff told reporters that fake tickets sold by scalpers are always abhorrent and hard to prevent. Barley net website has repeatedly reminded fans to buy tickets through formal channels, not to buy scalper tickets and beware of fake tickets, but there are still many fans who are in a hurry and fall for it. "On the 26th, we investigated and dealt with more than 50 fake tickets at the scene, and suggested that the deceived fans report to the public security department at the scene." According to the staff, the Public Security Management Brigade of Beijing Public Security Bureau will closely supervise the performance site and arrange a large number of policemen to arrest at the scene. On the evening of 26th, more than 10 illegal elements have been arrested.

　　■ Reminder

　　There is a difference between the QR code of real and fake tickets.

　　By observing the fake tickets collected by the staff, the reporter found that the fake tickets are now well-made, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the appearance. According to the staff, the simplest identification method is to log in to the barley net anti-fraud page and enter the face verification code for inquiry. In addition, the staff reminded fans that the QR code displayed on the tickets sold by regular barley is an encrypted QR code, and the seat information must be displayed with professional ticket inspection equipment. Scanning with mobile phones is garbled. The QR code on the fake ticket is an ordinary QR code, but it can display a false seat number after scanning with a mobile phone. "Without knowing it, many fans mistakenly took such tickets as real tickets and were deceived."

Make due contributions to promoting the construction of a network power, and put forward opinions and suggestions based on the actual situation of enterprises. Excerpts from the speech are as follows.

Ye Zhenzhen (Party Secretary, Chairperson, President of People’s Daily Online):

People’s Daily Online, as the "online People’s Daily", has always regarded publicizing and explaining the Supreme Leader’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era as its top political task, focusing on the main business of content, continuously planning and launching original products, and continuously injecting surging positive energy into the Internet.

People’s Daily Online undertakes the responsibility and mission of connecting the hearts of the party and the hearts of the people. In 2021, in the practice of "I do practical things for the masses", People’s Daily Online’s "leadership message board" widely solicited people’s "urgent and difficult" problems, and more than 800,000 demands were responded to and resolved throughout the year. The cumulative number of users of People’s Daily Online’s PC side, client side, mobile phone People’s Daily Online, and new media accounts has exceeded 733 million. The self-built "content platform" is distributed through seven major brand mobile phones, and the total number of users exceeds 1 billion. People’s Daily Online has newly launched 3 foreign language versions including Italian, and so far there are 12 foreign language versions. At the same time, adhere to innovation-driven, develop content technology, build a "content risk control brain", and provide content security services for many Internet platforms.

Our country’s digital economy is in the ascendant. Strengthening supervision, breaking monopoly, and protecting privacy are not only important measures to promote the healthy and sustainable development of Internet enterprises, but also fully reflect the policy determination to maintain a good ecology and ensure long-term development. In the new year, People’s Daily Online will further enhance its sense of responsibility and mission. It will play a key role in leading, connecting, and standard setting in the key "ecological niche" of the new socialized division of labor in the content industry. It will further accelerate the deep integration and development of media. It will become a leading enterprise in content technology and a new type of mainstream media with strong influence and competitiveness. Strive to make great achievements in financial media reporting breakthroughs and career innovation and development.

In the new stage of development, it is recommended that the relevant central ministries and commissions formulate classified guidance and classified support policies for the development of party media and Internet enterprises, encourage the industry to work together to develop the Internet and information industry, and jointly promote the construction of a powerful network country.

Yuanxi Yang (Kuaishou co-founder and chairperson of the Content Security Committee):

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party and the country have attached great importance to the development of the Internet and created a good environment for entrepreneurship and business. Riding the east wind of the times, Kuaishou adheres to the original intention of equality and universal benefit and accelerates the pace of development. At present, Kuaishou serves more than 300 million users every day and strives to create greater social value.

Kuaishou integrates mainstream value into algorithm technology, so that positive energy and high-quality content can accurately reach users and "fly into the homes of ordinary people". Make good use of live broadcast technology to create a new business format for e-commerce, directly connect demand and supply, and release more consumption potential. In the first three quarters of 2021, Kuaishou’s total e-commerce transactions exceeded 400 billion, effectively driving the digital transformation of the real economy. Launched the "Happy Rural Leader Program" to open up a new and efficient path for agricultural products to go up and industrial products to go down, and cumulatively drive millions of people to increase their income. From January to October 2021, more than 420 million agricultural product orders were sent from rural areas to all parts of the country through Kuaishou. Kuaishou attaches great importance to technological innovation, through the understanding of interactive data, to achieve accurate connection between people and content, people and people, empowering the upstream and downstream of the industry, driving the coordinated development of related industries, and extending from consumer Internet to industrial Internet.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches great importance to the development of private enterprises and the digital economy, and has repeatedly emphasized adhering to the "two unswerving" and constantly strengthening, improving and expanding our country’s digital economy, which not only injected strong confidence and motivation into the market, but also allowed us to take a reassuring heart and seek development with peace of mind. I believe that under the strong leadership of the party and the government, with the support and guidance of the competent departments, and with the joint cooperation of the industry, Kuaishou will also increase technological investment, strive to build hard core technology, and make new and greater contributions to promoting industrial optimization and upgrading and empowering the real economy.

Mu Rongjun (co-founder of Meituan):

In terms of fulfilling social responsibility, Meituan absorbed more than 30,000 people in social employment in 2021, and 6,925 fresh students. The role of takeaway riders as a flexible employment reservoir is further revealed. Since 2020, 110 ambulances have been donated to fight the epidemic, and nearly 200 playgrounds have been donated by joint merchants in poverty reduction areas.

Facing the new stage of China’s economic development, Meituan consciously obeys and serves the overall situation of economic and social development, adjusts the strategy to "retail + technology", and accelerates the pace of transformation and development. Meituan will also continue to strengthen technological innovation, improve the level of operation and management, and further play the active role of platform enterprises in six guarantees and six stability.

Regarding the healthy and standardized development of platform enterprises, it is recommended to improve supporting policies to help the development of new business models and encourage enterprises to innovate in science and technology, support enterprises to participate in major national science and technology special projects or action plans, and play a greater role in promoting the core competitiveness of the Internet industry.

Xu Lei (President of JD.com Group):

In 2021, JD.com will provide new growth drivers for more industries and create greater value for society as it continues to grow steadily.

JD.com adheres to the concept of "compliance is development", builds a "four security" compliance system, and maintains steady growth in its business. Revenue in the first three quarters was 675.50 billion yuan, an increase of more than 25% year-on-year.

Continue to increase logistics infrastructure building, the logistics network covers all districts and counties, and promotes "24-hour delivery of thousands of counties and towns" to enhance rural service capabilities in counties. Vigorously build cross-border logistics and overseas warehouse networks, and actively integrate into the new development pattern of "double cycle". Poverty alleviation work is fully shifted to helping rural revitalization and common prosperity, and the implementation of the "Penfu Plan" will drive rural areas to achieve 1 trillion output value within three years. Continuously increase investment in technology research and development. Last year, JD.com published more than 200 papers in top international academic conferences, won more than 60 awards in authoritative competitions at home and abroad, and created many "first" contributions in the fields of artificial intelligence, intelligent supply chain, intelligent retail, and intelligent logistics.

In the future, JD.com will strengthen compliance capacity building, adhere to stable employment, stable supply and stable development. It is hoped that the competent authorities will support enterprises to carry out key core technology innovation, participate in national informatization construction, guide enterprises to carry out investment and financing and mergers and acquisitions, and promote healthy and sustainable development.

Wang Xiang (President of Xiaomi Group):

Xiaomi is a consumer electronics and intelligent manufacturing company with smartphones, smart hardware and IoT platforms as the core. It has maintained rapid and steady growth in the past 11 years. From its establishment in 2010, to 2021, the annual revenue is about 320 billion yuan, the output value is 177.60 billion yuan, and the world’s top 500 ranks 338th. Xiaomi’s success, on the one hand, is to adhere to the technology to establish a business and provide the most cost-effective products for global users. On the other hand, it also conforms to the rise of the mobile Internet industry and actively participates in it. While popularizing smart hardware devices for users, it has gained dividends from the development of the Internet industry.

In recent years, a series of laws and regulations, such as the Cyber Security Law, the Data Security Law, and the Personal Information Protection Law, have been introduced one after another. The state’s efforts to rectify network chaos have been continuously strengthened, the development of the industry has become more orderly and compliant, and the user experience and sense of security have been improved. We believe that our country’s Internet industry will continue to maintain rapid development, providing the country with a large amount of tax revenue, solving a large number of jobs, and improving the efficiency and level of social operation. We are well aware of the importance of mastering core technologies and increasing R & D investment. Recently, we have proposed a higher R & D investment plan again. The R & D investment in the next five years will be 100 billion yuan, and Xiaomi will give full play to its own advantages, firmly lay out its business and resources from the industrial development level, and continue to grow and strengthen the enterprise to ensure its ability to become a pioneering force in the construction of the new era.

It is recommended to improve relevant laws and regulations, fundamentally eliminate the gray area of Android mobile application distribution, and prevent gambling and telecommunications fraud apps from inducing users to install and infringing on their rights and interests through third-party channels.

Personal computer market declines, HP starts layoffs again： more than 4,000 people are laid off in three years.

　　Demand in the PC market is weak, and HP announced plans to "slim down".

　　After the US stock market closed on November 22, local time, PC manufacturer Hewlett-Packard (HP Inc) released its fourth fiscal quarter results for fiscal year 2022 as of October 31 this year, during which its revenue dropped by 11% to $14.8 billion, with a loss of $3.1 billion. Hewlett-Packard said that it plans to cut 4,000 to 6,000 people around the world in the next three years, or 10% of the 51,000 employees, in order to save costs and achieve transformation.

　　Hewlett-Packard said that this "Future Ready Transformation Plan" will reduce the company’s annualized total operating costs by at least $1.4 billion in the next three years, including about $1 billion related to restructuring. Hewlett-Packard said that of the $1 billion, $600 million will be allocated to the fiscal year 2023 ending on October 31, 2023, and the rest will be equally distributed between the fiscal years 2024 and 2025.

　　Based on this, HP issued a pessimistic profit guideline. For the next fiscal quarter, the company predicted that the adjusted net profit per share would be 70 cents to 80 cents, which was lower than the analyst’s forecast of 86 cents. For fiscal year 2023, HP expects adjusted net profit per share to be $3.2 to $3.6, which is also lower than the analyst’s forecast of $3.62 per share. The company predicts that the market demand for personal computers will further decline in the next fiscal quarter.

　　Not only HP, but also the whole PC market is facing the dilemma of weak demand. According to the report released by research institute Gartner10 in October, global PC shipments totaled 68 million units in the past quarter, down 19.5% year-on-year, which is the biggest decline since the analysis institute began to track the PC market in the mid-1990s.

　　Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa believes that this marks a historic slowdown in the PC market. He said, "In view of the weak demand for personal computers from consumers and commercial markets, high inventory has become a major problem. Although many companies have carried out large-scale promotion and price reduction, the sales results are disappointing because many consumers have bought new computers in the past two years and there is no demand at present. In terms of business, geopolitical and economic uncertainties lead to more selective IT spending, and personal computers are not on the priority list of consumers. "

　　Dell Inc, HP’s competitor, faces the same problem. Dell’s total revenue in the third quarter fell by 6% to $24.7 billion. The company said that the weak PC market will continue, and it is expected that the decline in PC revenue will be even greater in the next quarter.

　　As of the close of US stocks on November 22nd, HP rose slightly by 0.75% to close at $29.38 per share.
