Sichuan: Activating the "Waste-free Cell" in the City with Tax and Fee Concessions

This year’s government work report proposes to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization and promote green and low-carbon development. Implementing this requirement and speeding up the construction of a "waste-free city" is an important starting point.

"Waste-free city" is an advanced urban management concept and a development model. By promoting the formation of green development mode and lifestyle, we will continue to promote the reduction of solid waste sources and resource utilization, minimize landfill disposal, and minimize the environmental impact of solid waste. In April, 2022, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released the list of "Waste-free Cities" during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, including Chengdu, Yibin, Leshan, Zigong, Luzhou, Deyang, Mianyang and Meishan in Sichuan.

In order to help build a "waste-free city", Sichuan tax authorities continued to implement the new development concept, focused on the actual needs of enterprises, and compiled the Guidelines on Tax Preferential Policies to Support Green Development. They made precise efforts from four aspects: supporting environmental protection, promoting energy conservation and environmental protection, encouraging comprehensive utilization of resources, and promoting the development of low-carbon industries, refined 66 measures to implement tax preferential policies, and comprehensively guided enterprises to go green.

From "Overdischarge" to "Pollution Reduction" —— Tax incentives inject impetus into green transformation

Source pollution reduction is the core part of the construction of "waste-free city" The traditional industries that reduce pollution at the source and develop extensively must do a good job of green transformation and upgrading.

As the "western porcelain capital", Jiajiang County of Leshan City has a long history of pottery making, and pottery making is also one of the local pillar industries. In the era when coal is the main energy source for pottery making, Jiajiang County has been suffering from high pollution and high energy consumption in pottery making, and the huge sewage cost has also seriously hindered the survival and development of enterprises.

"The greater the energy consumption, the higher the tax cost, the higher the product cost and the lower the competitiveness." Luo Qizhou, the legal representative of Jiajiang Huaxing Ceramics Co., Ltd., said frankly. In order to enhance the competitiveness of products, enterprises continue to improve traditional technology and increase investment in environmental protection, and in 2023 alone, they will enjoy more than 300,000 yuan of environmental protection tax relief. "With the 300,000 yuan saved by tax reduction and exemption, we have introduced two new production lines using natural gas, which are cleaner than the previous coal production and the energy consumption has dropped significantly." Luo Qizhou said.

From "super discharge" to "pollution reduction", the story of green transformation of Huaxing ceramics is only a microcosm of the structural transformation and green breakthrough of traditional industries. Nowadays, in Sichuan, a large number of traditional industrial enterprises, represented by ceramic production enterprises in Jiajiang County, are constantly activating "waste-free cells" through a series of advanced technologies of energy saving and carbon reduction, such as changing coal into gas and upgrading production lines, and upgrading the former high-pollution and high-energy-consumption industries into dynamic industries with "green" content and "new" content.

In order to enable enterprises to gain more external force in solving problems, Sichuan tax authorities have also deepened the pattern of multi-governance and efficient coordination, strengthened cooperation with ecological environment, natural resources and other departments, jointly established an information sharing platform for environmental protection tax, focused on high-pollution and high-energy-consuming enterprises, established a dynamic database, strengthened the comparative analysis of basic data, consolidated the foundation of taxation according to law, and built a "tax collection and management, enterprise declaration, environmental monitoring, information sharing, and"

Drawing "Green Meaning" with "Zero Carbon" —— Intimate Service Empowers Enterprises to Seize the New Track

The construction of "waste-free city" is connected with pollution reduction at one end and carbon reduction at the other. Recently, the State Council promulgated the Interim Regulations on the Management of Carbon Emissions Trading, which clarified the carbon emissions trading system in the form of administrative regulations for the first time. The data shows that as of the end of last year, the cumulative turnover of the national carbon emission trading market reached 440 million tons, with a turnover of about 24.9 billion yuan. Aiming at "zero-carbon competitiveness", green and low-carbon has become the consensus of high-quality development.

Sichuan Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., located in the eastern industrial park of Yibin Sanjiang New District, is the world’s first "zero carbon factory" for batteries. From the beginning of preparation, enterprises have planned a "zero carbon" path, and through continuous transformation and innovation in manufacturing and energy utilization, they are committed to making more products with low carbon competitiveness with less raw materials while reducing carbon emissions.

"On the road of green development of enterprises, the tax authorities are accompanied all the way." The relevant person in charge of Sichuan Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. said. According to reports, Yibin tax department has set up a service team of "direct connection between tax enterprises" to form an integrated "identification-analysis-treatment-result" process of "policy finding", equipped with "exclusive grid staff" to push the tax policy to legal representatives, financial personnel and tax collectors in a time-sharing and hierarchical manner to ensure accurate direct access to enterprises. In 2023, the company enjoyed a total of about 2.5 billion yuan in tax benefits such as export tax rebate, consumption tax and urban maintenance and construction tax.

Under the guidance of Sichuan Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., many enterprises in Yibin power battery industry chain have also achieved the advanced stage of "zero carbon". Yibin Libao New Materials Co., Ltd., which produces raw materials in the upstream of the industrial chain, Times Geely Power Battery Co., Ltd., which produces batteries in the midstream, and Sichuan CRRC Rail Transit Co., Ltd., which produces complete vehicles in the downstream, have successively obtained the certification of "zero carbon factory".

"A few days ago, the ecological and environmental departments of Sichuan and Chongqing issued the first inter-provincial" Regulations on the Construction and Management of Waste-free Urban Cells (Trial) "to further standardize the construction of waste-free urban cells in the economic circle of Chengdu and Chongqing." The relevant person in charge of Sichuan Provincial Taxation Bureau in State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China said that Sichuan taxation department will constantly sum up experience and innovate service measures, continue to give full play to the role of taxation functions, strengthen the linkage between Sichuan and Chongqing taxation and cross-departmental coordination, so as to release greater effectiveness of various tax incentives and promote enterprises to make steady progress in the fast lane of green development and transformation.

Gong Fangbin: What profound changes are taking place in China?

  作者:国防大学教授、博士生导师 公方彬

  十八大以来的四年间,中国正在发生且继续发生着三大变化,又是这三大变化,影响和决定着党、国家、民族,以至我们每个人的未来。

  第一、党内政治生态发生变化

  在过去很长时间里,全党乃至社会一再诟病,党内出现信仰失重、行为失规、道德失范、心理失衡。表现出来的就是权力寻租比比皆是,包括周永康、郭伯雄、徐才厚这些身处高位的高级领导干部走向堕落。

Gong Fangbin: What profound changes are taking place in China?

  十八大后,以最高领袖同志为核心的党中央从严治党,采取“定规矩,惩奸恶,扬正气”。或者说,“上树信仰、中立价值坐标、下划红线”,已经和继续改变着党内政治生态,因此改变着党的走向。

  The change of political ecology is the most fundamental change. Only by ecological optimization can we jump out of the historical cycle, such as avoiding anti-corruption becoming "cutting leeks". Judging from the situation of inner-party construction, positive energy is rapidly condensed. While "dare not rot" has become a reality, the system of ensuring "can’t rot" has been continuously improved and promoted, and the spirit and value pursuit of supporting "don’t want to rot" has begun to be endogenous. It is thus asserted that the "turning point" of the inner-party political ecology has arrived.

  Of course, the significance and value of the formation of a new political ecology are by no means limited to anti-corruption. The key is that the mentality, value orientation and behavior of party member cadres, especially senior leading cadres, have changed. Bad political ecology will make the members of the group move in the direction of their own interests, while ignoring or even damaging the interests of the party and the people. A good political ecology is the opposite.

  It is certain that as long as we persist in the "Do not forget your initiative mind", especially fully implement the "initial intention" in the actions of every leading cadre in party member, especially in party member, the party’s ruling ability will be continuously strengthened, and party building will enter a new virtuous circle.

  Second, the social and humanistic ecology has changed.

  The party style determines the political style, which in turn affects the folk customs. Because of the change of political ecology, it has more and more profound influence and even changed the social humanistic ecology. However, the change of humanistic ecology must be counter to political ecology, and the two are mutual motivations and complement each other.

  What elements are contained in the improved or changing humanistic ecology? Including: reconstruction of spiritual world, adjustment of value pursuit, determination of interpersonal relationship and social relationship. These elements are fundamental because they lay the cultural foundation of a nation and constitute the humanistic character of a nation. Therefore, the change of humanistic ecology is destined to profoundly influence and even determine the dynamic foundation and direction of the Chinese nation.

  It can be seen from the change of the concept of "official standard" that the humanistic ecology has changed and is changing. China’s dynasties have never really solved the problem of power corruption, which is rooted in the failure to solve the "metaphysics" of officials, that is, the spiritual world and value pursuit that have not provided the basis of modern political views. Since "learning to be excellent is to be an official", "being an official for food and clothing", and "being an official with one person makes a chicken and a dog ascend to heaven" … … Then, the hierarchical interest is the power system, even the motive force, of officials and even the whole society.

  Successive dynasties have repeatedly strengthened the "official standard" and the phenomenon of "power takes all" has emerged, which has led to tensions within the system, social contradictions and class conflicts, and more fundamentally distorted the public’s pursuit of value. Why is the originality of the clever Chinese nation so weak? It must be related to "power takes all" distorting people’s pursuit of value. Being an official can get everything. How can anyone be addicted to the creation of science and culture? Without the creativity of civilization, it is not impossible for a nation to stand on the commanding heights of human civilization and play a leading role.

  In fact, no matter how great a political party or powerful a government is, it is impossible to satisfy people’s excessive desires. Excessive mobilization of people’s desires is bound to be the more fruitful economic achievements, and the more social contradictions and conflicts there are. Without the balance between spirit and matter, people are doomed to be in pain forever and cannot extricate themselves.

  The supreme leader guides the society by systematic engineering. He "upholds faith" and emphasizes that "the people have faith, the nation has hope, and the country has strength". This great emphasis on faith is clearly reflected in the speech commemorating the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Party, the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March and the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. He regulated the power boundary and the behavior of officials, and demanded that "the communication between officials and businessmen should be respectful, and there should be no backslapping", and that "if you want to be an official, you should not want to get rich, and if you want to get rich, you should not want to be an official" … … These ideas have been institutionalized, directly affecting the values of officials and even the people, and then forming a new humanistic ecology beyond history.

  We have seen that a large number of officials who come for profit are squeezing out the "officialdom". When officials generally establish a new value system, the officialdom ecology is purified, the social and humanistic ecology is improved, China’s science and technology are prosperous, and the sound economic development has a solid foundation, and the Chinese nation has the ability to lead the world.

  Third, the ecology of China’s participation in the world is changing.

  China used to be a big country, but it has been far away from the center of the world for nearly a hundred years. The Opium War was the turning point. Since then, it has gone from bad to worse, and over time it has created a "weak country mentality" and behavior style, which is sometimes incompatible with the world. This is actually the international ecology in which we live.

  If we distinguish the international ecology we live in, there have been three states in the century and a half since 1840: from Lin Zexu, the first person who opened his eyes to see the world, to the founding of New China, the world in Chinese’s eyes is vague, and the number of people who really have the world height, world vision and world mind is extremely limited. Even Lin Zexu, at that time, thought that the legs of the British army would not bend, and they could not get up as long as they were knocked down with bamboo poles. He even asked the officers and men to prepare a large number of filthy things to deal with the British gun attack.

  After the founding of New China, China had "two bombs and one satellite" and won the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. These achievements gave Chinese a rare self-confidence, which, to a certain extent, made a nation who had been kneeling for a long time straighten up. Of course, because we still lack a real understanding of the world and international thinking, we still took a detour. For example, during the period of participating in the international communist movement, there were ideals higher than reality, passions more than rationality, and they still tried to save the "people of the world in dire straits" when they could not eat. Revolutionary enthusiasm with a serious ignorance of the world is doomed to be a tragedy.

  Before the 18th National Congress of China’s Reform and Opening-up, China, which was led by Deng Xiaoping and continued the Deng Xiaoping route, began to break its closed door, more people went abroad, and began to understand that "the world used to be like this". Because they knew the world, they caught up and finally achieved the development achievements of the world’s second largest economy. To sum up, Deng Xiaoping’s reform and opening up is to let people know about the world and try to shorten the gap between advanced countries. The participation of countries and people in the world at this stage is passive and limited.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the supreme leader has led the new central collective leadership, which has not only put forward the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also been accompanied by a series of measures, including the Belt and Road Initiative and the AIIB, as well as the "China Plan" put forward at the G20 meeting. Goals and behaviors, or China, who participates in the formulation of world rules, take the people of the whole country as the main body. Since they are the main body, they must think independently, and they must make their own judgments by observing the world. In the long run, it will certainly create mature nationals of big countries, and then let the Chinese nation have the ability to lead human civilization forward.

  This is the root of China’s rise as a great power.

Lu Zhengyu’s peerless master broke 100 million at the box office and created a new form of comedy.

Billion poster


1905 movie network news The hilarious comedy "peerless master" directed and performed by Lu Zhengyu broke through 100 million at the box office yesterday. As Lu Zhengyu’s big-screen debut, in addition to the endless laughter, the imaginative power and the scene setting with wide brain opening displayed by the film became the focus of discussion after the release. For a time, "wide brain opening" and "unique style" became the most frequently mentioned keywords when people talked about this film.

The imaginative bridge setting and the film style with personal characteristics also give Chinese comedy a new form. In addition, the subversive performances of the actors and the exquisite and shocking visual presentation have also refreshed the public’s cognition of comedy films — — "It turns out that in addition to making people laugh, comedies can be imagined infinitely."

 

The story is original and imaginative.

Comedies also have brain holes.

As a hilarious comedy, in addition to the endless stream of jokes, what many people didn’t expect was that "peerless master" had an imaginative story setting and was also rated as "the biggest surprise of the whole film" by the audience. In the movie, the bridge segments with wide brain holes, whether it is the Mao Pant confrontation between Fan Wei and Yasuaki Kurata, the magical brain tonic after Cai Guoqing finished eating food, or the wonderful soup fight between Fan Wei and Chen Chong, have impressed the audience and refreshed many people’s understanding of comedy movies. "The style is very unique. I didn’t expect comedy movies to be filmed like this."

The imagination of "peerless master" was praised

After watching the film, many viewers were deeply impressed by Lu Zhengyu’s wild imagination. "The director is very powerful, and all kinds of magical and fresh settings were brainwashed by the horizontal bar roast leg of lamb and the fan cut ham."

 

Maximize everyone’s "comedy potential"

Director Lu Zhengyu did it.

The peerless master brings together many actors such as Lu Zhengyu, Guo Caijie, Fan Wei, Chen Chong, Cai Guoqing, etc. Surprisingly, every actor in the film subverts himself and shows a comedy performance that is completely different from the previous image. Guo Caijie, the fairy goddess, challenges the violent muscular woman, and Joan Chen Su Yan, an award-winning actress from Golden Horse, appears. Fan Wei even staged a hilarious performance of knitting wool pants with noodles, poking the jokes of countless audiences. It can be said that Lu Zhengyu accurately tapped the comedy potential of every actor.

Lu Zhengyu sends Weibo.

Among them, the most surprising thing is Cai Guoqing who plays the super villain. Cai Guoqing, who was born as a singer, is a male god in the hearts of many mothers. This cross-border comedy show vividly shows a villain boss who hides a knife in his smile and is full of cuteness. He has both a sense of joy and cuteness, and has won a lot of praise from netizens. "Unexpectedly, Teacher Cai has such a talent for comedy", and some netizens commented that "The peerless master has opened a new chapter in Teacher Cai’s acting career", which is very funny.

Comedies also have special effects.

Exquisite production with full heart

In addition to the imaginative storyline and the subversive performance of the actors, the excellent post-production also made the audience praise again and again. After watching the film, many people invariably mentioned the important scene of the film, Fallen Street, which was taken from the snack street in Changsha, Hunan Province, and aroused many people’s resonance. "I thought of my childhood. It can be seen that the director is very careful, from the street layout to the signboard name and even the passerby dress, which is particularly real and has a strong sense of substitution. "

The peerless master reveals a strong sense of poverty.

The post-production of the film also surprised many netizens, among which Fan Wei and Chen Chong’s fighting soup segment became one of the most impressive segments after watching the movie. The confrontation between the water wolf and the white crane is very vivid, and many viewers sighed with emotion, "I didn’t expect a comedy to have such amazing special effects." The bucket soup fragment is too burning! Excited and moved by the emotions behind him, the director really combined the special effects with the plot just right. "

Fuel consumption prefix 3, acceleration 6.9 seconds, test drive 2025 BYD Han DM-I.

Comment on 2025 Chinese DM-i in a word:

Balance and maturity are the important selling points of new cars, and the future of Han without obvious shortcomings can be expected.

Advantages:

1, equipped with the fifth generation of DM technology, power loss and fuel consumption 3 prefix.

2. The ride comfort in the back row is good

3. DiLink 100 has strong functionality.

4. The top model has the eye of DiPilot 300 God.

5. The acceleration of all models is 6.9s

Insufficient:

1. We haven’t used the latest design of Chaowang.

2. Only high-profile models have leather seats.

Our test drive this time is 2025 Han DM-I. If you just look at the picture of the front face, you may think that I am wrong. Isn’t this Han EV? One of the changes in the design of the 2025 BYD Han DM-i is the replacement of the same inductance dragon face as the Han EV model, and the front face design is more concise. At the same time, the new car also provides a blackening kit, such as the chrome trim in the center of the front face, and the bottom air inlet and heat outlet are blackened.

Nongfu Spring, who was scolded by the whole network, made 12 billion last year

Original, Gao Yuzhe, Leopard Transformation

"Core Tips"

Nongfu Spring, which has encountered a huge public opinion storm, has achieved a "two-legged" balance of water and beverages in 2023. However, under the multiple pressures of negative public opinion, upgraded health needs, and intense competition, can the "Porter of Nature" hold the top spot?

Editing | Xing, Yun

Under the storm, Nongfu Spring still handed over a dazzling financial report.

On the evening of March 26, Nongfu Spring announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the total revenue in 2023 was 42.667 billion yuan, an increase of 28.4% year-on-year; the net profit attributable to the parent was 12.079 billion yuan, an increase of 42.2% year-on-year. During the reporting period, Nongfu Spring’s gross profit margin increased by 2.1 percentage points from 57.4% in the same period of the previous year to 59.5%.

As of the close of March 27, Nongfu Spring closed at HK $41.25/share, down 1.08%, and the total market value 463.90 billion. In the recently released "2024 Hurun Global Rich List", Nongfu Spring founder and chairperson Zhong Shanyi became China’s richest man for four consecutive years with a wealth of 450 billion yuan.

The annual growth performance is really gratifying, but recently Nongfu Spring has also encountered the biggest public opinion storm since its listing. Since the death of Wahaha founder Zong Qinghou, Nongfu Spring’s market value has evaporated by more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and product sales have also been affected to a certain extent.

It is worth noting that the most eye-catching packaged drinking water in Nongfu Spring in fiscal 2022 contributed 54.9% of total revenue; this proportion dropped to 47.5% in 2023. At the same time, the beverage business grew rapidly, accounting for 51.7% of total revenue, surpassing packaged drinking water for the first time.

Under the upheaval of public opinion and the escalation of health needs, can the "porter of nature" hold the top spot? Drinking water bosses want to be the "beverage brother"?

How much money can "porters" make?

At the beginning of 2024, the bottled water industry staged a leading "melee".

The death of private entrepreneur Zong Qinghou and his past have caused the public’s favorable impression of the Wahaha brand to rise sharply. In addition to the hot search on Wahaha frequency and the soaring sales volume, Nongfu Spring has also been mired in the storm of public opinion. The past between Zong Qinghou and Zhong Shansui has been extended as a story of "Farmer and Snake".

With the fermentation of the incident, the sales of Nongfu Spring were affected. Some media reported that the single-day sales of Nongfu Spring e-commerce platform even dropped from over one million yuan to 50,000 yuan. At present, this storm has not completely subsided. Whether the operating performance of Nongfu Spring will have an impact will be reflected in the first quarter financial report.

The financial report for 2023 once again demonstrates the stable foundation of Nongfu Spring. As a company with a gross profit margin of up to 60%, its revenue and net profit still maintain a good growth rate.

Looking back at the financial reports from 2020 to 2022, the revenue of Nongfu Spring was 22.877 billion yuan, 29.696 billion yuan and 33.239 billion yuan respectively, and the revenue increased by 10.362 billion in three years; to 2023, it increased by nearly 10 billion in only one year.

In terms of net profit, from 2020 to 2022, the net profit attributable to the mother in the same period was 5.277 billion yuan, 7.162 billion yuan and 8.495 billion yuan respectively; in 2023, the net profit of Nongfu Spring was 12.079 billion yuan, an increase of 42.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 23.6 percentage points compared with the previous year.

Not only did the growth rate of net profit accelerate, but by contrast, the growth rate of net profit exceeded that of revenue.

In China’s packaged drinking water market, Nongfu Spring has always occupied the highest market share. China Resources Yibao, ranked second, did not disclose revenue data for the year in its 2022 sustainability report, only showing a total profit of 1.375 billion yuan.

The earnings report of Nongfu Spring shows that the increase in net profit in 2023 is mainly due to the decrease in the procurement cost of cartons, labels and some raw materials compared with the same period of the previous year. Among the four business segments of Nongfu Spring, the well-known packaged drinking water is the basic plate of its business performance. To a large extent, Nongfu Spring’s strong profitability comes from the high gross profit margin of drinking water.

Why is the gross profit so high? It is because the cost is extremely low. With a gross profit margin of 60%, the unit price of mineral water of 2 yuan is only about 8 cents, and the gross profit is 1.2 yuan. Some media have calculated that, taking each bottle of 400ml packaging water as an example, the polymer PET (polyethylene terephthalate) used to make the bottle costs about 6 cents for materials, about 3 cents for packaging materials (heat shrinkable film, etc.), and about 8 cents for water extraction, labor, and processing. This means that the cost mainly comes from packaging.

The financial report shows that the revenue of Nongfu Spring Packaged Water in 2023 was 20.26 billion yuan, an increase of 10.9% year-on-year. Although the growth rate rebounded from the previous year, it was the lowest among the four major businesses. Obviously, the slowdown in the growth rate of the basic market also brought reminders to the running giants.

Looking for the next eastern leaf

From the perspective of the growth of various businesses, the proportion of beverages in the total revenue of Farmer Mountain has reached more than half, and the first super-packaged drinking water, especially tea beverages, has seen strong growth, further raising the company’s competitive barriers.

Nongfu Spring is divided into four business segments: packaged drinking water represented by bottled water; that is, the tea-drinking segment includes brands such as tea π and Oriental leaves, which have become the second growth curve; functional drinks and juice drinks in a diverse layout, with a large number of products, are regarded as the third growth curve.

Tea products recorded annual revenue of 12.659 billion yuan in 2023, an increase of 83.3% over 2022, accounting for 29.7% of total revenue in 2023. It is worth noting that the revenue scale of this sector in 2022 is nearly 7 billion, with revenue accounting for only 20.8% of the total, indicating that the second growth curve is rising rapidly.

The two largest single products in tea beverage products are Oriental Leaf and Tea Pi, and the sugar-free tea track where Oriental Leaf is located has become a star track in the consumption trend in recent years, and Oriental Leaf is even more powerful.

According to Nielsen data, as of August 2023, Oriental leaves have increased by 114% year-on-year in the past 12 months, outpacing the overall growth rate of the ready-to-drink tea industry by 9 times. Oriental leaves, together with tea π, contributed more than 60% of the increase in the entire ready-to-drink tea market. Oriental leaves have maintained a growth rate of more than 50% for three consecutive years.

Although Nongfu Spring launched the Oriental Leaf product as early as 13 years ago, from a historical perspective, Suntory entered the Chinese market in 1997. Three years later, Coca-Cola and Nestle have successively launched sugar-free and calorie-free products.

At that time, people were enthusiastic about "small sweet water" with high sugar content, including Master Kong’s star single iced black tea, and the Arctic Ocean visible on the streets of Beijing. Not only was the faint oriental leaf mocked, it was also named one of the five worst drinks in China, and even called "dishwashing water".

Oriental leaves can enter the consumer’s line of sight, on the one hand is the increase of people’s health awareness, on the other hand is the rise of the cutting-edge brand Yuan Qi Sen Lin, under the trend of the new consumer era, 0 sugar 0 fat overnight became the standard for young people.

Sugar-free tea is becoming a new trend. Euromonitor data shows that the growth rate of sugar-free tea in China far exceeds that of other tea tracks. From 2017 to 2022, sugary tea has entered a low growth rate, while sugar-free tea will maintain a growth rate of 7.9% in 2022, much higher than that of sugary tea. It is expected that the CAGR of sugar-free tea market will reach 10.2% in 2022-2027.

The rise of the track has inspired new and old players to enter the game. Among them, there are traditional brands represented by Nongfu Spring, Wahaha, Dongpeng Beverage, etc.; there are also new brands represented by Yuan Qi Sen Lin, Chali, tea’stone, etc.

Although Dongfang Leaf has obvious advantages, the entry of various brands has also put huge pressure on the market competition. Yuan Qi Sen Lin’s sugar-free tea product Burning Tea has specifications covering 500ml, 550ml, 600ml and 900ml; Dongpeng Beverage’s Oolong tea launched in 2023 is only 69.9 yuan after 24 bottles are discounted.

Faced with the growth rate of the subdivision track, once it enters the stage of large-scale competition and price war, it will be a big challenge for each company. Moreover, the emerging track market barriers are not large, and young consumers are willing to try early adopters, etc., all of which determine that in addition to the dark horse of Oriental Leaves, it is more secure to create the next star single product.

Chasing 50 billion camp, competing to be the drink brother

In comparison to the packaged drinking water and tea beverage segments, fruit juice beverages and functional beverages performed slightly conservatively in the 2023 full-year financial report.

Nongfu Spring financial report shows that in 2023 functional beverage products recorded annual revenue of 4.90 billion yuan, an increase of 27.7%, accounting for 11.5% of total revenue in 2023; fruit juice beverage product revenue 3.53 billion yuan, an increase of 22.7%, accounting for 8.3% of total revenue in 2023, a decrease.

As the third growth sector in the early layout of Nongfu Spring, there are many competitors in the functional and juice beverage track.

It has a wide range of products, including Screaming, Water Soluble C100, NFC 17.5 °, Power Emperor, etc. In 2023, Nongfu Spring will also continue to introduce new flavors in this field.

However, from the perspective of the industry as a whole, Nongfu Spring’s market share is relatively low. In functional drinks, a larger market share is occupied by Red Bull, Dongpeng Special Drink, and Pulse. In 2021, Red Bull’s market share will exceed 50%, ranking first in the industry; followed by Dongpeng Special Drink and Pulse, accounting for 12% and 7% respectively; the cutting-edge brand Yuan Qi Sen Lin entered the market in 2021 and launched Alien Electrolyte Water in April. A year later, Alien Electrolyte Water became Yuan Qi Sen Lin’s knock-out product to create the second curve.

In the field of juice beverages, Coca-Cola, Huiyuan Juice, and Weiquan Food are the industry leaders, with a market share of the top three, all exceeding 10%. To lead the industry, Nongfu Spring has to face multiple rivals.

As the proportion of beverages continues to increase, Nongfu Spring has realized that water and beverages "walk on two legs".

In most consumers’ minds, "Farmer Mountain is a little sweet" "We don’t produce water, we are just nature’s porters" has long been a popular advertising slogan. In fact, the total revenue of unlisted Wahaha has always been higher than that of Farmer Spring.

In China’s beverage industry, Wahaha is the real leader. From 2021 to 2023, the total revenue of Nongfu Spring is 29.696 billion, 33.239 billion and 42.667 billion; and in 2021, Wahaha’s revenue has exceeded 50 billion. According to the data of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and the summary and commendation conference of Wahaha Group in 2023, Wahaha has maintained a total revenue of more than 50 billion yuan for three consecutive years.

To achieve 50 billion record, there is also the low-key Master Kong. In public cognition, the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Master Kong is "instant noodles", which is also a leading player in the beverage industry. 2023 annual financial report shows that Master Kong’s beverage growth is slow, but the overall revenue of drinks in 2023 still reached 50.939 billion yuan. Because the gross profit margin of drinks is higher than that of instant noodles, Master Kong has already shifted its business focus to drinks, accounting for more than 60% of the business.

It can be seen that Zhong Shanshan, who has the "richest man" aura, and Nongfu Spring under his leadership, still have many competitors to defeat if they want to become the hegemon of the beverage industry.

Nongfu Spring has indeed laid a solid foundation in the field of bottled water, and the product line in the beverage matrix is also relatively rich, but in the competition for the hegemony of new and old brands, it has the voice over the hands of consumers. Coupled with the fungibility of the drink itself and the diversification of the purchase scene, the era of once relying on a slogan to go the world is gone. To face new brands and strive to be "the first brother of drinks", Nongfu Spring still has to solve problems.

Which drinks do you buy most often?

Outdoor workers should guard against heat shock at high temperature. How to do health protection?

  Reading tips

  High temperature weather is easy to cause fatigue, etc., which can seriously induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and heat stroke, and the elderly and outdoor workers with basic diseases are easily affected. Doctors suggest that when working or studying in a high temperature and high humidity environment, you should ensure that you have a full rest in a cool and ventilated environment and replenish water in time.

  Recently, a 27-year-old boy was rushed to the emergency room of the emergency department of Yizhuang Campus of Beijing Tongren Hospital by 120. According to colleagues, the patient was a construction worker and suddenly fell to the ground while working outdoors in high temperature.

  Cao Qiumei, director of the emergency department of Yizhuang Campus of Beijing Tongren Hospital, told reporters that when the patient was sent, his consciousness was blurred, his limbs twitched and his body temperature was higher than 40℃. He was diagnosed with heatstroke. After nearly 6 hours of rescue by the emergency team, his consciousness gradually became clear and his vital signs recovered to a stable level.

  Cao Qiumei said that recently, due to the high temperature weather, the number of emergency cases in hospitals has increased, mainly for some elderly people with basic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, cerebral infarction, long-term bedridden patients, etc. Their adaptability to high temperature is relatively poor, and they are easily induced by high fever. The onset of basic diseases, as well as some construction workers who work outdoors, takeaway brothers and so on.

  What hazards does hot weather easily bring to people? How do outdoor workers do well in health protection? How to deal with the symptoms of heatstroke? The reporter interviewed this.

  Classical heatstroke and labor heatstroke.

  The high temperature weather in China has continued since the beginning of the summer. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory on July 19, the high temperature in China will show a strong development trend in the next 10 days, and the local temperature can reach above 40℃.

  High temperature weather can easily lead to fatigue, distraction, lack of tea and rice, reduced work efficiency, serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and heat stroke, and even death.

  Gong Xiaojie, an attending physician in the emergency department of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Tsinghua, Tsinghua University, said in an interview with Workers Daily that heatstroke often manifests as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, chest tightness, rapid heart rate, hypotension, convulsions and even coma, and patients often go to emergency department, cardiology department, respiratory medicine department, digestive medicine department and neurology department for treatment.

  Fang Xiaolei, chief physician of the emergency department of Dongfang Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that heatstroke refers to the symptoms such as disorder of body temperature regulation, disorder of water and electrolyte metabolism and damage of nervous system function under the long-term action of high temperature and thermal radiation. Heat stroke is the most serious type of heat-induced disease with high mortality.

  According to the different causes and susceptible people, heatstroke can be divided into classic heatstroke and labor heatstroke. Classical heat stroke is mainly caused by the imbalance between heat production and heat dissipation caused by passive exposure to thermal environment. Usually, there is no strenuous physical activity, and individuals with impaired thermoregulation function are more likely to get sick, such as infants, the elderly, patients with chronic basic diseases or impaired immune function, long-term bedridden and obese patients.

  Labor-induced heatstroke is mainly due to the imbalance between heat production and heat dissipation caused by high-intensity physical activity, which is common in healthy young people who exercise vigorously in summer, such as officers and soldiers, athletes, firefighters and construction workers who take part in training in summer. Although labor-induced heatstroke is more likely to occur in high temperature and high humidity environment, environmental conditions are not necessary.

  Work for 1 ~ 2 hours, rest properly and replenish water.

  In hot weather, how should workers exposed to the outdoors do well in health protection? Cao Qiumei said that if outdoor work is inevitable, it is necessary to take protective measures, first of all, the supply of cool drinks, and secondly, the time should be arranged reasonably and enough rest time should be reserved.

  "High-intensity, long-term exposure to outdoor work, it may be more reasonable to adopt a rotation system, reasonably set working hours, and try to avoid heatstroke. Moreover, if it is predicted that there is a possibility of heatstroke, it is necessary to prepare for medicines and first aid. " Cao Qiumei said.

  "If you have just joined the work, the working hours and intensity should be gradually adjusted from less to more, from light to heavy, so that the body can adapt to the high temperature environment, which usually takes 1 to 2 weeks." Gong Xiaojie said that people who need outdoor work in summer should pay special attention not to work in a high temperature environment for a long time, properly arrange the workload, combine work and rest, reduce the workload at noon and afternoon, and take a proper rest and replenish water after working for 1-2 hours.

  In addition to providing material security, reasonably arranging working hours and workload, outdoor workers should also strengthen the propaganda of heatstroke prevention and cooling, so that workers can pay attention to the harm of high temperature damage and escape from the summer correctly.

  For the method of heatstroke prevention, Gong Xiaojie suggested that, first, getting enough sleep and ensuring rest can enhance the body’s immunity and reduce illness; Second, avoid drinking alcohol and alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will slow the body’s response to the outside world, affect the perception of bad environment and delay the discovery of diseases; The third is to replenish water properly. Water and electrolytes are very important to maintain the stability of the internal environment in the body, and dehydration will aggravate heatstroke. You can drink more mung bean soup and eat fruits with sufficient water such as watermelon. For drug suggestions, we should analyze specific problems and choose according to our own situation.

  The doctor suggested carrying heat-clearing and summer-relieving articles with you.

  Prevention is the key to reduce the fatality rate of heatstroke. Cao Qiumei emphasized that when working or studying in a high temperature and high humidity environment, you must ensure that you have a full rest in a cool and ventilated environment and replenish water in time.

  Traditional Chinese medicine has also played an important role in the prevention and treatment of heatstroke. Chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, lotus leaf, mint, Pogostemon cablin and Pogostemon cablin, which are common in daily life, have the efficacy of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, which can not only prevent the occurrence of severe heatstroke to a certain extent, but also have a good therapeutic effect at the first time of onset. Cao Qiumei said that you can carry essential balm with you, and when you have mild heatstroke symptoms, you can wipe the middle and temples to cool your subjective feelings. If dizziness and nausea occur in high temperature and high fever environment and do not relieve after rest, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and let the doctor treat the symptoms in time.

  Gong Xiaojie emphasized that you should try to stay in a cool environment in high temperature weather, and don’t be afraid to use air conditioning and other cooling equipment. If you go out, you should avoid high temperature periods, try to go out in the morning and evening, do a good job of sun protection when going out, wear light-colored breathable clothing, and try to shorten the detention time in high temperature environment. In addition, we should focus on some high-risk groups, such as the elderly, infants, people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and mental illness. If there are acute diseases such as fever and diarrhea, we should seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying the illness.

    Movie network news(Compile/Orange KINOMOTO SAKURA) Jackie Chan’s self-directed and self-directed action blockbuster is about to land in South Korea. On the 18th, Jackie Chan attended a film press conference held at Lotte Hotel in Seoul, South Korea. Jackie Chan not only expressed his feelings of visiting Korea again, but also told the behind-the-scenes story of Zodiac, praised his partner Kwone Sang Woo for his superb acting skills, and did not forget to repeatedly emphasize his gratitude to Korean fans. Kwone Sang Woo, on the other hand, was unable to attend the press conference because he was filming a TV series, so he had to appear on the red carpet at night. Korean artists such as Park Jin-young, Miss A, Jeon Hye-bin and Wu Xianjing also came to join the VIP screening.

Jackie Chan believes that he is not an action actor, denies retiring and will continue to make action movies.

    At the meeting that day, Jackie Chan’s action acting became the most important topic. Jackie Chan also performed a variety of action acting skills in Zodiac, including fighting with opponents, climbing up and down the walls of tall buildings, jumping off a helicopter and so on. In particular, the scene of using parachutes to fight against enemies and vicious dogs is impressive. Regarding the title of "action actor", Jackie Chan disapprovingly said: "There are many action actors who are like a flash in the pan, and often disappear quickly and are forgotten by the audience. I am not an action actor, but an actor. In the past 10 years, I have also tried various roles, not only action acting. I hope that everyone can see me as an actor who can perform action scenes, not just an action actor. "
However, Jackie Chan’s acting skills are indispensable. Jackie Chan revealed that when shooting the scene of grabbing the animal head over the volcano, he really suffered a volcanic eruption. "At that time, it was possible to really die, but on second thought, I thought it would be very handsome if I really died like that!"


Jackie Chan doesn’t need body double’s dangerous moves to go into battle himself.

    Compared with the previous rumors of retirement, Jackie Chan clarified: "I will continue to play until I can’t shoot. However, Zodiac should be the one with the most action scenes and the highest intensity among all the films I have shot. In this sense, it can also be said that Zodiac is my last action movie. " The Chinese Zodiac has a common theme all over the world. Although every country shouts that global culture is one, it always evades the history of plundering other countries’ cultural relics in the war. Jackie Chan also hopes to convey a positive message through this film, calling for "returning things to their original owners".
