In the consumption experience of ordinary people, one-time payment can often enjoy more benefits and discounts, and the higher the value, the more obvious the goods are.

　　Recently, Hua Ge (a pseudonym) in Hangzhou was going to change a new car, so he went to a number of 4S stores to understand the market.

　　However, the salesman’s reply made him indignant: he wanted to pay off the car in one lump sum, not only did he not enjoy more preferential treatment, but the actual car price was more expensive than the mortgage loan. What’s going on here?

If you want to pay in one lump sum, the price of the car will increase by 10 thousand instead.

　　Hua Ge told Qianbao that his current car has been driving for more than ten years, so he wants to buy a new car and improve his quality of life, focusing on several well-known brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volvo.

　　"The price range is set between 250,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan." After listening to a friend’s advice, he decided to buy a car mainly for BMW X1 and Audi Q3.

　　In an Audi 4S shop on Shaoxing Road, Hua Ge took a fancy to the basic version of Audi Q3. At that time, the salesperson of the 4S shop said that if the car was purchased by mortgage, the car price was 250,000 yuan, which was the landing price, including purchase tax, licensing service fee and vehicle insurance premium for the first year. There are two kinds of mortgages, one for three years and the other for five years. Customers can choose.

　　"I’ll pay in one lump sum. Can the car price be cheaper?" Brother Hua asked directly according to common sense of consumption.

　　"I suggest you still get a mortgage. If you don’t mortgage, the car price must be increased by at least10,000 yuan. " The salesperson’s reply suddenly made Brother Hua blindsided.

　　In order to keep Hua Ge as a customer, the young man in charge of sales said that if he really wanted to buy it, he could apply for a cheaper price. But if you don’t mortgage, it is indispensable to increase the car price by 10 thousand yuan.

　　In another Audi 4S store in the west of the city, the sales staff gave the basic version of Audi Q3 a price of more than 250,000 yuan, and also suggested that he buy a car by mortgage. "This 4S shop is even better. Listen to the tone of the sales staff. If you don’t mortgage, you may not sell me a car. In addition, if you are an employee of Ali and Huawei, you can buy a car for another 2,000 yuan cheaper. " Brother Hua said.

　　On this day, Hua Ge visited seven or eight 4S stores in Hang Cheng, including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and the result was similar: if you don’t mortgage, the car price will be more expensive.

Every 4S shop is promoting mortgage to buy a car.

　　As a customer, Qianbao reporter also went to several 4S stores in Hangzhou for experience.

　　On Shaoxing Road in Hangzhou, there are many 4S car shops. In a Mercedes-Benz 4S shop, a young man in charge of sales told reporters that the landing price of a dynamic SUV is 406,000 yuan, and it can be 2,000 yuan cheaper if you apply for a mortgage.

　　"The interest rate of our mortgage car purchase is very low. A loan of 100,000 yuan is used for a two-year mortgage, and the interest rate is only 1.5%, which is the interest of 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to spending a total of 1000 yuan on mortgage car purchase. " The young man said.

　　In another BMW 4S store, the manufacturer’s guide price of an SUV is 436,800 yuan. "If you pay in one lump sum, you will enjoy a 91% discount; If you mortgage, you can enjoy a 10% discount, which is more than 4,300 yuan cheaper. " A salesperson named Bao said.

　　The salesperson told reporters that in their 4S shop, the minimum mortgage amount is 120,000 yuan, and there is a minimum mortgage ratio requirement. The reporter took a fancy to this SUV, and the minimum amount of mortgage was 137,000 yuan. "If you mortgage for two years, the interest will be 7,100 yuan, MINUS the discount of 4,300 yuan, which is equivalent to paying more than 2,700 yuan in interest for two years."

　　Later, the hourly journalist came to an Audi 4S shop. A salesperson surnamed Xu told reporters that the market guidance price (bare car price) of an Audi Q5 is 446,500 yuan, and the preferential price for one-time payment is 361,500 yuan, with a discount of 85,000 yuan; If you mortgage, the preferential price is 348,500 yuan, and the discount reaches 98,000 yuan, which is 13,000 yuan cheaper than the one-time payment!

　　Xiao Xu said that if a one-time payment is made, the vehicle purchase tax will be 33,000 yuan because of the high car price; If you buy a car by mortgage, the car price is cheap, and the vehicle purchase tax is 32,000 yuan, which can save 1000 yuan.

Selling mortgages wants to establish contact with customers.

　　Why is the one-time payment car more expensive? In the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, the young man in charge of sales explained to me that handling mortgage loans can increase the stickiness of customers and establish long-term contact with customers. "If it is a one-time payment, it has nothing to do with us after the customer’s car leaves."

　　But his explanation is obviously unconvincing. Because all the personal information of customers is retained in the process of car purchase, it is easy for 4S stores to contact customers. For customers who have taken out mortgages, the agreement stipulates that some specific after-sales services must go to 4S stores, but this connection seems far-fetched.

　　In the process of buying a car, Qianbao reporter found another problem. Although every 4S shop actively encourages customers to buy a car by mortgage, the interest rates of mortgage loans are quite different. For example, if the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop mortgages for two years, the annual interest rate is 1.5%; If the BMW 4S shop is mortgaged for two years, the annual interest rate is about 2.6%; The Audi 4S shop mortgage loan has an annual interest rate of 4.2%.

　　The sales staff of Audi 4S store said: "If we apply for a mortgage, we can get a rebate from the bank. We compensate the rebate to the car price, which is still very cost-effective for customers. If there is no advantage in mortgage, there will not be so many people to apply for mortgage. "

　　The sales staff of Mercedes-Benz 4S store said: "Manufacturers have requirements for us, such as the proportion of cars sold by mortgage should reach 50% to 60% of customers. We are also trying to complete the manufacturer’s task indicators. "

　　Just like buying a house by mortgage, buying a car by mortgage can really alleviate the tight cash flow of many consumers when buying a car. However, Hua Ge, who mentioned earlier, believes that if the car price of a full car is higher than that of a mortgage car, it obviously does not conform to the market rules, and the bank will increase the burden on consumers while generating income.

On July 29th, Yang Tao, Deputy Director of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce, introduced the general situation of business operation in the first half of 2022 at the special press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce. He said that the business operation showed a recovery trend in the first half of the year, especially since the second quarter, with the gradual emergence of policy effects, the main business indicators stabilized and rebounded, which provided important support for stabilizing the macroeconomic market.

First, foreign trade grew rapidly. In the first half of the year, the import and export of goods reached 19.8 trillion yuan, up 9.4% year-on-year, while imports and exports increased by 4.8% and 13.2% respectively. Among them, due to unexpected factors, the growth rate of import and export dropped to 0.1% in April, and rebounded rapidly in May and June, reaching 9.5% and 14.3% respectively, showing the strong development resilience of foreign trade. It grew rapidly with major trading partners, with imports and exports to the United States, the European Union and ASEAN increasing by 11.7%, 7.5% and 10.6% respectively, and imports and exports to countries along the Belt and Road increased by 17.8%. "Travel" products grew rapidly, and the export of automobiles, shoes and bags increased by 51.1%, 31.4% and 34.6% respectively, which were 37.9%, 18.2% and 21.4% higher than the overall export growth rate respectively. Stabilizing the main body and stabilizing employment has achieved remarkable results. In the first half of the year, there were 506,000 enterprises with import and export performance, an increase of 5.5%. The import and export of private enterprises increased by 13.6%, accounting for 1.9 percentage points to 49.6%. Trade in services developed steadily. From January to May, the import and export of services reached 2.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 22%, of which exports increased by 26.3% and imports increased by 18.2%.

Second, domestic consumption has gradually recovered. In the first half of the year, the total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 21 trillion yuan, down 0.7% year-on-year. Among them, April was obviously affected by the epidemic, and the growth rate dropped to -11.1%. The decline narrowed to -6.7% in May and increased by 3.1% in June. New consumption achieved rapid development. The development trend of new consumption such as live e-commerce and contactless services is good. In the first half of the year, the online retail sales of physical goods increased by 5.6%, accounting for 25.9% of the total. Sales of new energy vehicles increased by 1.2 times. Physical commerce has picked up. The retail sales of supermarkets and specialty store increased by 4.2% and 2.8% respectively, 0.2 and 1.6 percentage points faster than the previous five months. Guaranteed supply and stable price are powerful and effective. Give full play to the role of multi-provincial joint guarantee and supply mechanism for daily necessities, strengthen market monitoring and early warning, ensure sufficient supply of daily necessities, and basically stabilize market prices. In the first half of the year, CPI rose by 1.7%.

Third, the quality of attracting foreign investment has improved. In the first half of the year, the actual use of foreign capital was 723.31 billion yuan, an increase of 17.4% in comparable terms. The investment structure is more optimized. Manufacturing and high-tech industries achieved "double promotion", and the actual use of foreign capital in manufacturing increased by 54.8%, accounting for 5.9 percentage points higher than the same period of last year to 25.4%; The actual use of foreign capital in high-tech industries increased by 33.6%, accounting for 3.8 percentage points to 35.5%. The main sources of investment grew steadily. The actual investment in the United States, Germany and Britain increased by 26.1%, 13.9% and 13.4% respectively (including some free ports, the same below), while the actual investment in South Korea and Hong Kong increased by 37.2% and 15.8% respectively. The high-level open platform has obvious driving effect. In the first half of the year, the actual use of foreign capital in 21 pilot free trade zones was 119.85 billion yuan, an increase of 16.8%, attracting nearly 16.6% of foreign capital with an area of less than four thousandths. The service industry’s foreign investment in the "1+4" demonstration pilot area increased by 15%, accounting for 34.7% of China’s service industry’s foreign investment. The foreign investment absorbed by 230 national economic development zones increased by 42.1%, accounting for 19.6%.

Fourth, foreign investment cooperation developed steadily. In the first half of the year, foreign non-financial direct investment reached 351.67 billion yuan, up 0.8% year-on-year (equivalent to 54.24 billion US dollars, up 0.6%), and the turnover of foreign contracted projects reached 458 billion yuan, up 4.2%. The "Belt and Road" investment cooperation has been deepening. Direct investment in countries along the Belt and Road reached 65.03 billion yuan, up 4.9%. The investment structure was continuously optimized. Investment in wholesale and retail, scientific research and technical services and manufacturing increased by 21.3%, 15.6% and 13% respectively.

V. Multilateral and regional cooperation is deepening. The 12th WTO Ministerial Conference achieved fruitful results. The promotion strategy of the free trade zone was fully implemented. Promote the high-quality implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and continuously achieve new results. Actively promote the accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (CPTPP) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA). China — Cambodian FTA, China — New Zealand FTA Upgrade Protocol came into effect. Reach an early harvest arrangement for a free trade agreement with Nicaragua. Regional cooperation has achieved positive results. Successfully held the 12th BRICS Economic and Trade Ministers’ Meeting. Promote the APEC Trade Ministers’ Meeting to reach a consensus.

　　Reference News Network reported on February 18, Japan’s "Daily News" published an editorial on February 17, pointing out that the stick of protectionism in the United States harms the interests of all countries.

　　The editorial pointed out that last year, the United States introduced measures aimed at prohibiting semiconductor trade with China, and in order to block semiconductor production in China, the United States also asked Japan and the Netherlands, which are strong in the field of chip equipment manufacturing, to take a unified step.

　　What worries Japan, the United States and Europe is that China’s military technology has been further strengthened with the improvement of artificial intelligence and other fields. According to WTO rules, there are cases where trade can be restricted for security reasons.

　　But in the digital society, many cutting-edge technologies can be used for both military and civilian purposes. If, in the name of security, the scope of exceptions is expanded endlessly, the free trade mechanism may collapse.

　　The editorial believes that the government can use export restrictions as a means of defense, but only if the move is well-founded and carried out within the framework of international cooperation.

　　For a long time, both Japan and the United States have emphasized the importance of rule-based economic activities, and (Japan and the United States) cannot destroy its value by itself.

　　In addition, it is necessary for all parties to consider the impact of restrictive measures on the economy. About 30% of Japanese semiconductor manufacturing equipment is exported to the China market. Restricting exports to China will have a great impact on enterprises and investors.

　　The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry should further study the specific contents of what types of equipment are restricted for export. In order to eliminate people’s concerns about protectionism, easy-to-understand explanations and high transparency are indispensable.

And China is bound to object to this. China has been exercising its influence with resources and markets. Restriction measures related to chips may lead them to take countermeasures to restrict the export of important materials such as rare metals.

　　Major countries have established export management frameworks to prevent the proliferation of technologies that can be converted into military applications. However, with the intensification of confrontation between the United States, Europe and Japan and countries such as China and Russia, it is difficult for such frameworks to play a role.

　　In order not to damage the benefits brought by the free trade mechanism, it is necessary to balance security and economic activities. What Japan, sandwiched between the United States and China, should do is to formulate a multi-level strategy to rebuild the trade order.

　 　 　 　CCTV News:Two days ago, a thrilling scene was staged at an intersection in Changde City, Hunan Province. A pickup truck failed to grab the yellow light when passing through the intersection. As a result, it rear-ended a car in front of it. The illegally loaded steel pipe on the pickup truck flew out of the roof and hit the front car and scattered on the road. Fortunately, the accident did not cause any injuries.

　 　 　 　After the police on duty at the intersection found the accident, they immediately went forward to check and found that the pickup truck was obviously modified. The police investigation learned that the pickup truck driver Longmou was engaged in building decoration work, and privately welded steel frames at the head and tail of the pickup truck to facilitate the loading of goods. On the same day, Longmou drove the steel pipe to the construction site. When driving to the intersection of the incident, he saw that the traffic lights were about to turn red and wanted to grab the yellow light, but the black car in front slowed down and stopped. So Longmou quickly stepped on the brakes, but he still chased the front car. The huge inertia and the weak binding caused the steel pipe carried on the car to fly out and hit the front car.　

　 　 　 　In the end, the police decided that the pickup truck driver Longmou was fully responsible for the accident, and fined 500 yuan for the illegal act of changing the shape of the motor vehicle without authorization and registering the relevant technical data, and ordered him to immediately restore the vehicle to its original condition.

1905 movie network news Last weekend (06.23-06.25), the box office revenue in North America totaled $141.5 million, down 25.7% from the previous week. The performance of (hereinafter referred to as) in the United States is weak, and it grinds out $69.09 million in the first five days, which is the lowest in the first week of the series. "Explosive shell" has a routine of big scenes, and it seems that it can no longer coax North American audiences. The word-of-mouth score has fallen to a new low, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 15%. It is accused of being boring, long and boring. I have no love at home, but I still rely on other places for more help. The overseas box office of is still evergreen, with a total of $265 million in the world in the first week. Although it is less than the fourth, it is close and in good condition. In terms of small-scale screening, Amazon’s R-rated romantic comedy set a new record for single-theater box office revenue, with an average single-theater box office revenue of 87,000 US dollars, the highest in 2017. The box office of a single theater is 60 thousand dollars, and most of the film reviews praise the exquisite artistic conception of the picture.

In terms of old films, Shenwei has not diminished. In the fourth week, it pocketed $25.17 million, a decrease of only 39%. In 24 days, the local box office totaled $318 million, which is expected to surpass the total box office of $363 million, catching up with Marvel Comics (currently $380 million); At present, the global box office has reached $650 million, and after this week, it is expected to surpass ($665 million) to become the box office champion in American women-directed films. In the next week, the decline rate was 53%, which was lower than 60%, which was relatively stable. Now, the total domestic box office in 10 days totaled 99.8 million US dollars, and the total global box office was 141 million US dollars. Man-eating shark thriller is the best of the four films opened last week. Last week, it earned $7.43 million, a decrease of 34%, and the box office in 10 days totaled $24.26 million. The biography of Tupac Shakur, a famous late rapper, is really eye-catching, with a drop of 78% in the next week and a total box office of $38.64 million in 10 days. It seems that more profit margins have to be boosted by overseas.

The lowest overseas strong support scene in the first week of "Transformers 5" box office series

Recommended star rating: ★★★☆.

Obviously, blackening Optimus Prime is also difficult to retain the audience’s waning enthusiasm for autobots. Michael bay’s film, as the only film with a large-scale painting last week, earned $69.09 million in 4,069 theaters in the United States in five days (including $45.3 million in the box office from Friday to Sunday), which was only 57% of the previous film, making it the lowest box office in the series. Looking back, in the first six days of 2007, the box office was $155 million. In the first five days of 2009, the local box office was $200 million, and the box office was $180 million. The time was short, and it also collected $100 million in three days. The local box office peak of the whole Transformers series was the second film ($402 million), and then it continued to decline. However, in view of the fact that the next fastest heavyweight new film will have to wait until July 7th, there is still hope for the "online duration" of Transformers 5. If it exceeds Transformers 4: Extinction and Rebirth in 2014, the final domestic box office volume is expected to be around $140 million.

The rating on the Internet was a curse. Transformers 5 scored B+ in the current cinema, IMDb scored 5.3, MTC27 scored 27, the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 15%, and the freshness of audiences was 58%. The main points of spitting are as follows: 1. It turned out to be just a long and boring trailer of cheat people and a $250 million Hasbro toy advertisement. Rolling Stone magazine said: "It makes other blockbusters in summer look like classics of famous teachers." 2. I really don’t know what michael bay is for. "Certainly not praise, also won’t be the audience’s favorite, not to mention any innovation and development. Just to refresh the record of the number of bad reviews, come on, freshly baked another one for you. " 3. There is no wisdom or interest at all. "The Guardian" commented: "It gives people the feeling that it is a big scene with Marvel Comics, but Marvel Comics at least makes people feel humorous and interesting, and the Transformers are in short supply."

Although the word of mouth is not beautiful, the box office outside North America is still relatively optimistic. "Transformers 5" grossed $196 million overseas in its first week, topping the weekly box office list in 40 countries and regions around the world, with mainland China contributing $123 million. At present, the global box office totals US$ 265 million, which is slightly lower than the US$ 300 million in the same period of Transformers 4: Rebirth of the Jedi, but close to the US$ 271 million in the first week (the film has now reached 677 million in the global box office). I hope the influence of bad word-of-mouth can be controlled. After all, Paramount Pictures really needs Transformers 5 to be "normal" now. On the one hand, the production and publicity costs of this film add up to at least $350 million (data source: new york Times). On the other hand, several Paramount films, such as "The Ringing Bell at Midnight 3", "The Beach Ranger", are not satisfactory this year. If Transformers 5 can save the scene as expected, it will also give the executives and the capitalists a reassurance.

Next page:"Serious illness" has the highest box office in the year, and "Under the Peony Flower" is exquisite and favored.

　　CCTV News:Li Wanjun, male, born in October 1968, Han nationality, party member of the Communist Party of China, welder of CRRC Changchun Railway Passenger Car Co., Ltd.

　　Li Wanjun has participated in the trial-production welding of the first parts of dozens of bogies for urban rail cars and multiple units in China, summarized and formulated more than 30 kinds of bogies welding specifications and operation methods, and tackled more than 150 technical problems, of which 27 won national patents. More than 30 bogie welding operation methods, such as his "gun-dragging right welding method", have saved money and created more than 80 million yuan for enterprises.

　　Honors won: National Model Worker, National Excellent Communist party member, National May 1st Medal, National Technical Expert, Chinese Skills Award, Top 10 "Touching China" in 2016, Special Model Worker in Jilin Province.

　　Li Wanjun, male, born in 1968, Han nationality, party member of the Communist Party of China, senior worker technician, and chief operator of CRRC Changke Co., Ltd., joined the work in the former Changchun Bus Factory in August 1987. He always stuck to the welding post of railway passenger car bogies, worked hard and overcame difficulties, and quickly became a technical expert in the welding field of the company. He won the first place in the appearance of welding samples in the 2005 National Welder Skills Competition, and successively in 1997.

　　With the successful operation of "Fuxing", a 350km/h China high-speed railway, China high-speed railway has become a beautiful scenery in the world. In less than 10 years, China has gone through 40 years of development of high-speed railways in the world. Chinese CRRC skilled workers who showed their talents in the production of high-speed EMUs with world-class technology were praised by Premier Li Keqiang as "the first generation of high-speed rail workers in China". In this glorious team, the national model workers — — Li Wanjun, with his superb welding technology and professionalism, has made important contributions to the development of China’s high-speed rail industry and is known as the "master of high-speed rail welding".

　　First, explore and innovate, and show your talents again and again

　　Bogie manufacturing technology is one of the nine core technologies of high-speed EMU. One of the main reasons why China’s high-speed EMUs can run at such a high speed is that our bogie technology has made a major breakthrough. Li Wanjun worked in the welding position of the bogie. He has participated in the first trial-production welding of dozens of bogies of urban rail cars and multiple units in China, summarized and formulated more than 30 kinds of bogies welding specifications and operation methods, and tackled more than 150 technical problems, of which 27 won national patents.

　　As the main model of the sixth national railway speed increase, the EMU with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour was trial-produced in Changke Co., Ltd. Because the bogie ring has to bear the weight of the car body weighing 50 tons, it has become the key part of the high-speed EMU manufacturing, and its welding quality requirements are extremely high. At the initial stage of trial production, due to the large number of welding sections, serious quality problems such as non-fusion of welded joints are prone to occur, which has temporarily become a bottleneck restricting bogie production. At the critical moment, Li Wanjun finally found out the "seven-step operation method of girth welding" with great strength, which was well formed and high in quality, and successfully broke through the key of mass production. This "unique skill", which surprised foreign experts, has been incorporated into the production process.

　　CRRC introduced the technology of high-speed EMU with a speed of 350km/h from Siemens, Germany. Because the foreign side has not had such a high-speed operation precedent before, bogie manufacturing has become a joint research topic for both sides. With the great trust of leaders, Li Wanjun participated in the expert group of bogie welding procedure qualification, and played a special role of highly skilled personnel. Taking the relevant data obtained from trial production in Li Wanjun as an important reference, the Welding Specification for Ultra-high-speed Bogies compiled by enterprises has solved the big problems in guiding mass production.

　　At the beginning of 2015, the company trial-produced the first standardized EMU (Fuxing EMU) in China. Many joints of bogies were never contacted by employees. Among them, the irregular welds of the torsion bar seat of the bogie side beam and the slope welds of the connecting interface of the transverse beam have extremely high quality requirements, and the radiographic inspection must be zero defects, and no defects are allowed. Because there are too many joints of irregular welds, it is easy to cause welding defects, which becomes a bottleneck problem that restricts the smooth production. Li Wanjun-based research team, after repeated argumentation and experiments, finally summed up an efficient and scientific welding method. They crossed the operation techniques of flat welding, vertical welding and downhill welding to successfully overcome this welding problem, and summarized the operation method to guide employees to complete this welding work.

　　At the beginning of 2016, Li Wanjun led the studio members to successfully complete 31 process evaluations of thick plate welding of new york metro bogies in the United States, providing reliable welding specifications and operating basis for trial production of 40mm thick plate bogies in China. At the beginning of 2017, on this basis, Li Wanjun personally participated in the trial production of four American new york bogies, and passed the certification of American welding experts. On June 27, 2018, Changke Co., Ltd. became the first production unit in China to successfully obtain the production qualification of American new york subway bogies.

　　With superb welding technology, Li Wanjun has overcome one technical difficulty after another by participating in the production of dozens of high-speed cars, railway passenger cars, urban rail cars and trains exported to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Brazil, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and other countries.

　　Second, study hard and practice hard to create innovative skills.

　　Li Wanjun’s achievements in his post are not accidental. In the long-term work of 31 years, he is diligent in research and innovation, and has developed excellent welding skills. He also holds six international welder (technician) qualification certificates for carbon steel and stainless steel welding. Argon arc welding, carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, MAG welding, TIG welding and other welding methods, flat, vertical, horizontal, upward and pipe welding shapes and positions, he is proficient in everything.

　　Li Wanjun invented the "new electrode holder" according to the welding characteristics of dissimilar metal materials, which has obtained the national patent and been popularized. In 2012, Li Wanjun summarized more than 30 bogie welding operation methods, such as "gun-dragging right welding method", according to the special requirements of Australian stainless steel double-deck railway passenger car bogie welding, which were widely used in production, saving funds and creating more than 80 million yuan for enterprises.

　　Li Wanjun used argon arc welding method for the first time in welding the girth of single-layer railway passenger car bogies exported to Iran, and successfully summarized a set of welding operation steps, thus filling the gap of argon arc welding for the girth of railway passenger car bogies in China, and also providing valuable experience for the development and production of new high-speed rail in China in the future.

　　Third, carefully cultivate and create a "training miracle"

　　Cultivating new forces for the production of high-speed EMU is another great contribution of Li Wanjun to the high-speed rail manufacturing in China. In order to ensure the smooth production of EMUs with speeds of 250km/h and 350km/h, and the trial production of ultra-high-speed EMUs with speeds of 380km/h, Li Wanjun shoulders the heavy responsibility of training back-up skilled workers for enterprises. In less than two years from 2008 to 2009, while working, he compiled teaching materials and undertook training tasks, creating a "training miracle" in which more than 400 new workers all obtained the international welder qualification certificate six months in advance. His carefully written teaching materials, such as carbon dioxide gas shielded welding flat butt joint, one-sided welding and double-sided forming welding technology, are easy to understand and well received by employees.

　　Since 2010, Li Wanjun took the lead in setting up the company’s welder chief operator studio and served as the person in charge. Through the platform of the studio, he set up a senior welder class and a senior riveting class in Changke Co., Ltd., and adopted the training mode of "big" and "small" interspersed with "horizontal" and "vertical" for welders, organized more than 400 centralized trainings, trained more than 20,000 welders and obtained more than 4,000 international and domestic welder qualification certificates.

　　In order to give full play to the skill inheritance function of "Model Worker Innovation Studio", Li Wanjun led the studio members to undertake the welder skill exchange and inheritance activities in Jilin Province and Changchun City, including China FAW, and formed resource sharing, training high-skilled talents for 15 times, totaling more than 1,500 times. In August, 2012, under the organization of provincial and municipal trade unions, he also participated in the activities of high-skilled talents going to Xinjiang for technical assistance, and held a superb feast for more than 400 skilled workers in Altay, Brzin, Habahe, Jimunai and Fuyun, which made the spirit of model workers take root thousands of miles away. In 2012, he was awarded the "Li Wanjun National Skill Master Studio" by the Ministry of Personnel. In 2014, he was awarded the "Model Worker Innovation Studio" by the Jilin Provincial Federation of Trade Unions and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions respectively. He himself was awarded the excellent model worker with high skills by the Changchun Municipal Federation of Trade Unions for many times.

　　Among his apprentices, 20 were awarded the title of inspection-free employees and post experts, and 8 were awarded the title of the first batch of chief technicians in Jilin Province. Disciples He Yan, Wang Shangeng and Dong Zemin won the third place in the 2013 Changchun Welder Competition respectively, Sun Weipeng, Park Dongyue and Zhang Ye won the first, third and fourth place in the 2014 Changchun Welder Competition respectively, and Wang Shangeng and He Yan won the second and third place in the 2015 Jilin Welder Competition respectively and were awarded the May 1st Labor Medal of Jilin Province. In June 2018, Apprentices Wang Shangeng and He Yan won the first place in the aluminum alloy welding and exhibition competition of the International Jiake Cup Welder Competition respectively. On April 28th, 2015, Li Wanjun was gloriously elected as the national model worker, and read the proposal to the broad masses of workers in the Great Hall of the People on behalf of all the model workers, and was personally awarded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

　　Li Wanjun also took an active part in public welfare activities after work. In June 2013, he visited poor students in Yongxing Street, Jingyue Development Zone, Changchun City, and subsidized tuition in 1000 yuan. In March 2014, he visited orphans in Jilin Province orphanage and exchanged personal growth experiences with students. In May 2014, Li Wanjun was awarded the title of the first batch of "Jilin Good People" by the Jilin Provincial Party Committee, and was selected into the "China Good People List" in July of the same year.

　　He has grown from an ordinary welder to an expert in high-speed rail welding in China, and has successively won "Changchun Special Model Worker", "Jilin Special Model Worker", "Jilin Senior Expert", "the State Council Government Allowance", "National May 1st Medal", "National Technical Expert", "Chinese Skill Award", "National Model Worker", "National Excellent Communist party member" and "Touching China" in 2016.

In the first half of the year, the agricultural and rural economy was generally stable.
The annual grain production base is good.

On July 21st, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and director of the Development Planning Department, introduced the operation of agriculture and rural economy in the first half of 2023 and answered questions from reporters.

The rural industry continues to grow, and the support of scientific and technological equipment continues to increase.

"Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has paid close attention to ensuring production and supply, consolidating achievements and keeping the bottom line, coordinating and promoting revitalization, and taking various measures to increase income. In the first half of the year, the agricultural and rural economy was generally stable." Zeng Yande introduced that, on the whole, the agricultural and rural economy maintained a good momentum of development in the first half of the year, providing strong support for steady growth, stable employment and stable prices.

The summer grain harvest is good, and the grain production foundation is good throughout the year. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, this year’s summer grain output was 292.3 billion Jin, down 2.55 billion Jin from the previous year, down 0.9%, ranking the second highest in history and still being a bumper harvest season. The harvest of early rice is in sight. It is estimated that the area of early rice is more than 71 million mu, and the current harvest has exceeded 70%, showing a trend of increasing production. The growth of autumn grain crops is normal, the area of autumn grain increases steadily, and the growth is roughly the same as that of normal years. The soybean area increased slightly, and the compound planting area of soybean and corn was expanded to 20 million mu, an increase of 5 million mu over the previous year. The area of winter rape increased a lot, and the output reached a record high.

Industrial employment assistance was solidly promoted, and the results of poverty alleviation continued to be consolidated. By the end of June, about 65% of the monitored objects had eliminated the risk of returning to poverty, and the rest had implemented targeted assistance measures. The central government will promote the convergence of rural revitalization subsidy funds and strive to reach 60% of industrial development. The county-level consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and rural revitalization projects are planned to start 216,000 projects annually, with a starting rate of 90%. In that year, a total of 46.92 billion yuan of micro-credit was distributed to the poverty-stricken population, supporting 1.062 million poverty-stricken households and preventing the monitoring objects from returning to poverty to develop production. By the end of June, the number of migrant workers out of poverty was 32.59 million, exceeding the annual target of 2.4 million.

The support of scientific and technological equipment has been continuously enhanced, and agricultural modernization has developed steadily. In the first half of the year, about 36.63 million mu of high-standard farmland was built, and the area of high-efficiency water-saving irrigation was about 8.38 million mu. Accelerate the implementation of seed industry revitalization, the national survey of agricultural germplasm resources entered the final stage, and major agricultural biological breeding projects were promoted in an orderly manner.

Rural industries have continued to grow, and channels for increasing farmers’ employment and income have been continuously broadened. In June, the added value of agricultural and sideline food processing industries above designated size increased by 2.2% year-on-year, and the purchasing managers’ index of national key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization was 54.2%, up 0.3 percentage points from the previous month. We will build 50 national modern agricultural industrial parks, 40 industrial clusters with advantages and characteristics, and 200 strong agricultural towns, so that more farmers can find jobs nearby. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 10,551 yuan, a real increase of 7.2%, which was 2.5 percentage points higher than that of urban residents.

Rural construction was promoted in an orderly manner, and rural reform continued to deepen. The living environment in rural areas continued to improve. The central government arranged 7.4 billion yuan to reward and supplement the implementation of the toilet revolution in the whole village, and arranged 3 billion yuan in the central budget to invest in supporting the infrastructure construction of rural living environment. The reform of key areas in rural areas was further promoted. After the second round of land contracting expired, the pilot project was extended for 30 years to achieve full coverage at the provincial level, and the pilot project of rural homestead reform continued to deepen. New types of agricultural business entities have been growing, with more than 2.234 million farmers’ cooperatives, 3.97 million family farms and 1.04 million agricultural socialized service organizations respectively.

Whether autumn grain can finally achieve a good harvest depends on disaster prevention and mitigation.

"It is not easy for summer grain to get a bumper harvest after a bad rain that has not happened for many years. After hard work, this result was won back and won back." Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in recent years, China’s annual wheat production and demand have been more than balanced, especially in the first four years, we have continuously increased wheat production, with an increase of 4.3 billion Jin in 2019, 1.5 billion Jin in 2020, 5.4 billion Jin in 2021 and 1.6 billion Jin in 2022. At present, the wheat stock is abundant, which can meet the consumption in the past year, and the wheat market price is basically stable.

This summer, some areas in the Huang-Huai-Hai region suffered from the "rotten rain" that has not happened for many years, with record-breaking high temperatures in many places in the north, and agricultural meteorological disasters were characterized by multi-point distribution and multiple disasters. According to the agricultural situation, since the beginning of this year, the cumulative affected area of crops nationwide has reached 63.1 million mu, an increase of more than 8 million mu year-on-year. According to the consultation between the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the meteorological department, agricultural disasters will be characterized by extreme weather, drought and flood, complexity and severity in the second half of the year. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to base itself on flood prevention, drought resistance and disaster relief, take precautions and take the initiative to respond, strengthen disaster monitoring and dispatching, and minimize disaster losses.

The key to win a bumper harvest of grain throughout the year is autumn grain. "At present, the production situation of autumn grain is basically normal, but the key to achieving a good harvest in the end is disaster prevention and mitigation." Pan Wenbo said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Emergency Management Department and the China Meteorological Bureau jointly held a meeting, demanding that all efforts be made to fight against disasters and win a bumper harvest of autumn grain to ensure that the annual grain output remained above 1.3 trillion Jin.

The department made further arrangements for this, focusing on the following things: (1) to implement the area of late rice and late autumn crops; Implement disaster prevention and mitigation measures; Implement large-scale bill of lading production measures; Implement fine guidance services.

More efforts should be made to release rural consumption potential and expand effective investment.

In the first half of the year, the total supply of agricultural products in China was sufficient, the prices of major varieties rose and fell, and the overall fluctuation was normal. From January to June, the National Agricultural Products Wholesale Price 200 Index monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs averaged 128.28, up 0.31 points year-on-year.

"Looking forward to the second half of the year, the supply of agricultural products in China will continue to be abundant, and prices will remain generally stable." Han Liu, head of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in terms of production, early rice showed a trend of increasing production, the area of autumn grain increased steadily and grew well, the task of expanding soybean oil seeds landed, the production capacity of meat, eggs and milk was stable, the area of vegetables in the field increased, and the foundation of "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" was solid. In terms of inventory, the inventory of rice and wheat is at a historical high level, which can meet the demand of urban and rural residents for rations for about one year. In terms of consumption, the economy is expected to continue to improve, and the second half of the year is originally the peak season for agricultural products consumption, and the market demand will be better than the first half.

In the first half of the year, the retail sales of rural consumer goods increased by 8.4% year-on-year, which was 0.3 percentage points faster than that of cities and towns. At the same time, the consumption level of farmers is relatively low, and there is still great consumption potential. How to release the rural consumption potential more vigorously? The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will focus on three aspects:

Increase income and drive consumption. Strengthen the connection between production and marketing, so that agricultural products can be sold at high prices; Develop rural characteristic industries, so that more farmers can find jobs nearby; Strengthen skills training and guide farmers to go out to work with high quality.

Innovative supply stimulates consumption. Activate traditional consumption, encourage and support rural residents to buy green household appliances, green furniture, green building materials, etc., promote new energy vehicles that meet the characteristics of rural consumption, and continuously improve consumption quality. Cultivate new consumption, focus on developing rural leisure tourism, provide more green and high-quality agricultural products and services, and attract urban residents to spend their holidays and shopping in rural areas. Innovate consumption scenarios, develop rural e-commerce, let agricultural products go out of the village to the city, and industrial products go to the countryside smoothly.

Optimize the environment and promote consumption. Improve the market system, improve the cold chain logistics system of agricultural products storage and preservation, and smooth the logistics express network. Standardize the market order, strengthen the quality and safety supervision of agricultural products, carry out rural consumption activities with confidence, and improve the consumer rights protection network.

There is a huge space for investment in agriculture and rural areas, which is an important part of smoothing the urban and rural economic cycle. In view of the fact that the investment in fixed assets of the primary industry only increased by 0.1% in the first half of the year, Zeng Yande said that it should be noted that with the upgrading of the consumption structure of urban and rural residents, the consumption of meat, eggs and milk continues to increase, and the need to fill the shortcomings of agricultural and rural infrastructure, the investment space in agriculture and rural areas is broad. In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with relevant departments, will take effective measures to intensify its work and strive to expand effective investment in agriculture and rural areas.

The annual report of light shows that "Three-body" (new) is in the early planning stage.

Special feature of 1905 film network　The movie "Three-body" is coming! In the 2019 annual report released recently, Light Media mentioned that there are currently 40 films in the preparation/production stage, among which "Three-body" is impressively listed, and the word "new" in brackets is fascinating.

At the same time, producer Bai Yiqi also revealed the latest progress of the "Three-body" series at the Young Producers Forum of the 2020 Spring Fair held recently: it will start shooting in June.

Coupled with the 9.7-point animation "My Three-body Chapter Beihai Biography" which exploded in the circle of friends at the beginning of the year, the "Three-body" animation which released PV last year, and the "Three-body" radio drama and cartoon, illustration set, physical exhibition and other forms, a more grand and three-dimensional "Three-body Universe" is quietly rising inside and outside the big screen, and it has also accumulated valuable experience for the development of domestic sci-fi IP.

"seven-year dystocia" and "new trisomy"

The film "Three-body", which was established in 2013 and started in 2015, is still a permanent injury in the hearts of many filmmakers and sci-fi fans.

In 2009, Liu Cixin sold the film adaptation right of the novel Three-body to director Panpan Zhang at a price close to that of cabbage. In 2014, this right was transferred to the Youzu Film Industry.

Although China Film has expressed its willingness to buy the adaptation rights of Three-body, there are also rumors that Amazon has invested huge sums of money to win the adaptation rights in 2018, but today, the "control" of the global film and television adaptation of Three-body is still firmly in the hands of the tourist film industry.

At the end of 2014, Youzu Film Company announced that "Three-body" would be put on the big screen and directed by Panpan Zhang. It plans to adapt three novels into six series films, with a single investment of more than 200 million yuan. Subsequently, the film released the cast led by William Feng, Zhang Jingchu, WU GANG, Tang Yan, Du Chun, Hans Zhang and Zhang Guangbei.

Judging from the main creative line-up, director Panpan Zhang’s previous representative works are thrillers such as the first class, and he lacks experience in handling such a large amount of science fiction films. It can be said that since the establishment of the project, the film "Three-body" has been questioned.

In August 2015, the real-life shooting part of the first part of "Three-body" was officially finished, which also opened the most difficult post-production process. In the meantime, although there are many materials exposed, it is accompanied by countless true and false rumors and storms such as "special effects are not as expected, materials are scrapped, teams are replaced in the later period, and core creators leave".

"Three-body" shooting scene photo

In November, 2016, producer Kong Xiangzhao released Weibo’s statement that "Three-body film will definitely come out within one year", but more than three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he himself has left the Youzu film industry.

Director Panpan Zhang’s official Weibo also stayed in the June 2016 "rumor" copy. In the comment area, there are still fans who "greet" regularly. "Big Brother, it’s been four years. Why hasn’t the movie been released yet?"

For this "six-year" dystocia film "Three-body", Light once participated in this project in the form of "investment+distribution", but in the film list of the semi-annual report in 2019, this project was once removed.

Nowadays, "Three-body" has returned to the film list with a "new" word, and it is listed as being in the early stage of planning, which may mean that the film version of "Three-body" will change its course and go into battle again.

The heroine of the original "Three-body" movie was Zhang Jingchu.

Weibo, the official of "Three-body Comics", also issued a document on April 26th, saying: "The new" Three-body Comics "film will start shooting: it will be prepared for four years, and the director (unpublished) hopes that the special effects of the picture can restore the scenes shown in the novel."

In the upsurge that swept the film market, the hasty launch of "Three-body" was more like the product of the birth of capital. At that time, both the director, the producer and the China market were far from having the experience and strength to control such a magnitude project as Three-body film, and failure and stranding were inevitable.

Nowadays, with the success and the maturity of the whole industrial chain of domestic sci-fi movies, the time for "Three-body" movies to "come to life" may be coming.

"three-body universe"

After the film version of "Three-body", in recent years, the tourist film industry is gradually adjusting the development model of "Three-body", an IP-rich mine. From animation, radio drama, immersion exhibition to drama, film and derivative development, a more systematic and three-dimensional "three-body universe" is taking shape.

1. drama series

The TV series Three-body was officially established in May 2019, with 24 episodes and a production cycle of 12 months. It is not difficult to see from the summary that the plot will revolve around the first novel of Three-body. According to producer Bai Yiqi, the drama version will start shooting in June this year.

In the interview, Bai Yiqi once bluntly said that it is not difficult to adapt the script of Three-body. "First, the story is jumping and changing back and forth in several time and space; Second, there is no serious female number one and no CP. " However, he also said that compared with the latter two films, the first film has relatively few high-concept elements, so it is a wise choice to start from this.

Due to the epidemic, the boot time was extended from March to June, which also gave the team more time to read and polish the script. How the drama story will unfold, and which actors will join in, so we are looking forward to it.　

2. Animation

At the beginning of this year, "My Three-body Chapter Beihai Biography" was officially launched in bilibili, and it continued to be screened, with a total broadcast volume of 31.345 million times. It was successfully circled with the excellent reputation of bilibili’s 9.9 points and Douban’s 9.7 points, and was widely reported by the media. Frankly speaking: "Three-body" was finally filmed! "

Biography of Zhang Beihai is the third part of my three-body series. In the first film in 2014, the director was still an animation layman. With a passion for "Three-body", he made this "rice animation" by himself. Although the painting style was rough, it unexpectedly won the praise of fans and attracted the attention of the tourist film industry.

The first part of My Three-body is relatively rough.

In 2016, the "Wandering in All directions" team officially joined the tourist film industry, and successively released Biography of Luo Ji and Biography of Zhang Beihai, completing the identity transformation from grassroots to regular army, and also realizing the "explosion" visible to the naked eye in animation technology.

According to reports, the production cost of Zhang Beihai Biography has increased to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a minute. The "Doomsday Battle" scene, which was the most amazing scene for fans, lasted for ten minutes, and it took a year to polish it.

What’s more worth mentioning is that the Biography of Zhang Beihai does not stick to the original work, but breaks and reconstructs the original narrative with characters as clues, and reasonably adds new plots to make the characters fuller.

Zhang Beihai Biography adds childhood stories and makes the characters more stereoscopic.

A "natural selection number, forward four!" It triggered a collective "climax" in the barrage area. With the seemingly simple square figures, the epic and tragic colors of the original work are captured, which is the real reason why Me Three conquered fans.

The unprecedented success of the "rice system" animation has also made fans feel sorry for the "regular army" — — Three-body Universe, Art Painting Kaitian and bilibili jointly developed the animated version of Three-body, which raised the expected value.

In June last year, the first concept propaganda video of "Three-body" was exposed, which triggered a heated discussion. The video condenses several classic pictures in the novel "Three-body", especially in the second "Dark Forest".

"Space Elevator" in Concept Video

Although the artistic style and special effects of the promotional film are still in the conceptual stage, the design of "space elevator" and "space station" still makes sci-fi fans see sincerity. Only the last sentence: "I, Luo Ji, who faces the wall, now speak to the three-body world." It is enough to make fans’ blood boil.

At the beginning of this year, Art Painting Kaitian Studio in Wuhan also reported the safety to fans through VLOG, saying that all the staff were healthy and well. The script development, art design and asset development of "Three-body" animated drama are progressing steadily and will meet with netizens as planned in 2021.

Xu Yao, CEO of Three-body Universe, once said: "Animation has its own unique form of expression compared with conventional live-action movies. In particular, an IP with a large number of high-concept pictures like a three-body will be bound by real-life performance. "

Now it seems that the animated version of "Three-body" is expected to "shine into reality" earlier than the real-life version, but it is still not easy to animate the grand world view of "Three-body". Polishing the script and restoring the original spirit of Three-body is a more important measure than the technical level.

3. Radio dramas, cartoons and more

In addition to the above-mentioned film and television adaptation, the "Three-body Radio Drama" project, which is a cooperation between the Three-body Universe and the Himalayas, has also received favorable comments since it was launched in December last year. The number of listeners exceeded 18 million and the number of subscriptions exceeded 400,000.

There are 6 seasons and 80 episodes of radio drama, each episode is 30 minutes. Such a long serial is rare in the domestic audio industry. The dubbing team is the top 729 workshop in the industry. The famous voice actor Ajie voiced Wang Miao in it.

On the basis of being faithful to the original work, the radio drama divides and reorganizes the plot, cuts out a large section of inner monologues and professional introductions, focuses on vivid dialogues, and cooperates with multi-level sound effects to enable the audience to "enter the play in one second". Even Liu Cixin praised the radio drama as "both familiar and fresh."

In addition, Tencent’s animation platform launched the comic version of "Three-body" last year, and the sales volume of "Three-body Art Illustration Collection" also exceeded 30,000 copies. In January this year, the large-scale immersion exhibition project of Santi also landed in Shanghai. The Three-body Universe also launched the official flagship store of the Three-body to develop and sell derivatives, with more than 16,000 fans.

The novel Three-body with more than 800,000 words constructs an incomparably grand view of the world, and also provides a vast imagination space for IP development.

If "filmization" is the tip of the pyramid of IP development, then more down-to-earth efforts are needed in the process of climbing the ladder. Once upon a time, quick success and instant benefit were not desirable. From easy to difficult, from simple to complex, systematic and sustainable development is the right way.

Facing the dystocia of the movie "Three-body", Liu Cixin, the original author, is particularly indifferent: "Science fiction movies involve a lot of money and special effects, which take time. Asimov’s series, Arthur Clarke’s Meet Rama, and many other authors’ works, many of which have been in film and television operation for forty or fifty years now. My work has not been running for a long time. "

To quote the saying from Galaxy the legend of heroes that science fiction fans often talk about: "Our journey is a sea of stars", and now it is only the first step of the long March.
