Chasing the wind, such as 7, Avita 07 test drive will be launched on September 26

At the Chengdu Auto Show last month, the Avita 07 officially made its world debut. As the third strategic model of the Avita brand and the first pure electric range-extended dual-power model under its umbrella, the Avita 07 has attracted the attention of a large number of users once it was unveiled.

On the occasion that Avita 07 is about to be officially launched on September 26, Avita officially opened the "Wind Chasing, Such as 7" Avita 07 National Media Test Drive Conference. During the test drive activity, the on-site experiencer drove Avita 07 along the magnificent coastline to chase the wind and travel between Ningbo and Zhoushan. The test drive route covered a variety of common road conditions such as urban roads, expressways, mountain roads, rural roads, expressways, national highways, etc. The multi-scene and all-round test of Avita 07’s mechanical quality, intelligent driving ability, and energy efficiency. In the end, Avita 07 successfully conquered a number of on-site experiencers with its own strong product power, which was widely praised.

Future aesthetics original design, leading the future new fashion

Avita 07 inherits the essence of the family design language, and with the original brushstrokes of the future aesthetics, it outlines an extraordinary figure that is both eye-catching and restrained. In terms of size, the length, width and height of Avita 07 are 4825/1980/1620mm respectively, and thanks to the design of "four wheels and four corners", the wheelbase has reached the longest 2940mm in the same class.

In addition to the hard work on the appearance design, the interior design of Avita 07 is also very luxurious. Through a large area of soft material wrapping and exquisite workmanship, it creates an urban luxury first-class cabin, which can bring extreme comfort to users while emphasizing the sense of luxury. In addition, Avita 07 is equipped with Hongmeng Smart Cockpit. Hongmeng Smart Cockpit is developed based on HarmonyOS 4, which deeply integrates Huawei’s self-developed system and the car end. In addition to a smooth user experience, it connects mobile phones and cars to achieve driver interconnection, and mobile end and car end information can be exchanged with each other. At the same time, users can also enjoy the rich ecology of mobile end on the car end.

Pure electric/extended range double car driving, perfect for diverse travel needs

In order to meet the increasingly diverse travel needs of users, Avita 07 will provide two power forms of range extension and pure electricity for users to choose from. Among them, the range extension version is the first to take Kunlun Smart Range Extension, which can maintain full power even in the feeding state. The zero-hundred acceleration takes only 5.8 seconds. Compared with the full power state, the attenuation is only 0.9 seconds, which is obviously better than other products of the same level. At the same time, with the blessing of black technologies such as electronic oil pump and shutdown piston active control technology, the sound pressure in the car of Avita 07 during idle charging is only 35.7dB, creating a very quiet interior space for users. In addition, in the choice of power batteries, the Avita 07 extended-range version uses a Ningde Shenxing blended battery, which supports up to 3C fast charging, and only takes 15 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%. The energy replenishment efficiency is comparable to that of mainstream pure electric vehicles.

In terms of vehicle comfort, Avita 07 has also achieved the same level of leadership. Taihang intelligent control chassis has a high lower limit and a high upper limit. With state-of-the-art hardware, environmental awareness, and cross-domain linkage of chassis execution, Taihang intelligent control chassis can be individually controlled in individual scenes, and can be dynamically and flexibly adjusted in multiple dimensions. It can effectively reduce body shaking and bumping in scenarios such as continuous undulations, damaged roads, and non-paved roads, thereby enhancing the user’s driving experience.

Huawei is empowered, and the level of smart driving is far ahead

In the choice of Moments, Avita is very cautious, and the strong alliance with Huawei has endowed Avita 07 with industry-leading smart driving capabilities. The first batch of Avita 07 is equipped with Huawei Smart Driving ADS3.0, with 27 high-perception sensors including 192-line lidar. Through leading software and hardware coordination, users can experience intelligent driving from parking space to parking space.

ADS3.0 adds and optimizes a number of functions on the original basis. For example: through the newly added roadside start smart driving function, users can start NCA smart driving pilot assistance with one click when they stop at the roadside, without the need to manually drive the vehicle to the central area of the lane. The smart driving function can intervene earlier, making driving easier and more convenient. Urban NCA lane change is further upgraded, which is silkier than silky, and the decision-making is closer to the real driver. Under the premise of ensuring safety, lane change is more decisive, and the ability to prevent malicious congestion is improved. Powerful smart driving capabilities make users’ travel safer and easier.

The market segment is surging, and Avita 07 is about to make a blockbuster debut

In September this year, there is no doubt that it belongs to the medium-sized new energy SUV. NIO sub-brand L60 and JK 7X were launched on September 19 and 20, respectively. Coincidentally, Avita 07 pure electric and extended-range two-car will also be officially launched on September 26. The gunpowder smell of this market segment is getting stronger and stronger.

It is worth mentioning that Avita 07 offers two power types for users to choose from, which can better meet the needs of users. Coupled with its strong product strength from the inside out, as well as the high-quality service guarantee of the Avita brand, I believe that Avita 07 will definitely achieve excellent market performance. Let’s wait and see!

Retired employees of the takeaway platform reveal the tricks of ranking: most of them are fooling people

 

  Cartography/Li Xiaojun

  investigation motive

  Recently, the Beijing Municipal Food and Drug Administration released a list of offline restaurants for online takeout, once again pushing the issue of online takeout food safety to the forefront. In fact, in the past 2016, the discussion on online takeout food safety has not stopped, and the governance has not stopped. After a year of rapid development, why are online takeout platforms still facing problems? Around this issue, the reporter of Legal Daily interviewed consumers, takeout platform staff and online restaurant owners, trying to find answers.

  [Special Investigation]

  Legal Network reporter, Zhao Li

  "Such a famous store has also been taken offline. I used to order takeout for big brands, and this can also be’hit ‘."

  Liu Changsheng, a Beijing resident sitting opposite the reporter, looked helpless and shook his head repeatedly.

  Because there are old and young, Liu Changsheng will choose to order takeout to his home when he is really busy with work. It is also because there are old and young at home that Liu Changsheng is extra cautious when ordering takeout, and he was even ridiculed by his wife as "ink". His tenet is that expensive, eaten, and chain brands are the best.

  However, even so, Liu Changsheng "broke down" when he saw the offline list online.

  This list comes from the Beijing Municipal Food and Drug Administration and is a list of governance since December 2016. 225 unlicensed catering stores on Baidu takeaway, Meituan takeaway, and Ele.me were taken offline, including many well-known or chain restaurants.

  "Where to go? Maybe takeout has become an indispensable part of urban life, but so worried, how to continue?" Liu Changsheng’s question may also be the question mark of many people in 2017. The answer to this question needs to be given by takeaway platforms, merchants and regulators.

  The platform shirks

  In addition to considering the health of his family, the reason why Liu Changsheng ordered takeout cautiously also came from his own experience.

  "One day in July last year, I ordered takeout from a takeaway platform. After eating, my stomach started to overwhelm at 3:00 in the morning. I had abdominal pain and diarrhea and wanted to vomit… I didn’t eat anything else at night except crayfish, water, and chewing gum (delivered by the seller). The next day, I continued to have diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and nausea, and I couldn’t vomit." Speaking of that night, Liu Changsheng said "it’s just unbearable to look back on".

  However, the focus is on the back, but there is no way to complain about a bad stomach.

  "The platform’s complaint is completely a decoration, and when I tell the store about it, I don’t even admit it. It seems that my bad stomach is my own fault, not theirs. Because it’s just gastroenteritis, that is, diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting caused by unclean food, the average person will recover without medicine within 48 hours. Neither the merchant nor the platform seems to pay attention to it, and if I can make a sloppy eye, I will never admit it." Liu Changsheng said, "I can only treat myself as unlucky, who calls myself poor physique and can’t afford to eat unhygienic crayfish…"

  However, there are also competitors, such as Su Meili, a white-collar worker in Beijing.

  The same is to eat a bad stomach, and the takeaway platform is also inactive, repeatedly shirking.

  "I had a fight with the platform and said I was going to report it. The platform finally gave me a 60% discount coupon," Su Meili said. "I thought it was fine at the time, but when I placed an order of 50 yuan, I found that it was only reduced by 8 yuan."

  The next thing, Su Meili described it like this: Fortunately, my math is good and I was not deceived, so I contacted customer service immediately. The customer service said that the coupon is capped at 8 yuan, and the attitude is tough.

  "My original intention was actually to say’sorry ‘. The platform made a mistake and refused to apologize?" Su Meili said, "Later, the other party found a supervisor and talked for an hour, but still did not give a solution."

  The final result was that Su Meili called 12315. The staff believed that according to the regulations, the platform should compensate 12 yuan for the price difference, and said it would help Su Meili coordinate the solution.

  "After I finished defending my rights, I directly deleted the takeaway platform. The internal management is so chaotic, and the customer service who is so reasonable if they are wrong is probably the same attitude when they really eat problems. Life is more important," Su Meili said.

  "Ranking" into decoration

  According to Li Jiang, director of the food market supervision department of the Beijing Municipal Food and Drug Administration, "among the 225 stores that were taken offline this time, in addition to unlicensed stores, there are also some stores that appear to have licenses but actually use other people’s licenses or forge licenses."

  Among the 225 stores that were offline, including such restaurants: Wangshunge (Fortune Center Store), Milk Tea Marrying Powder (Jiaomen East Store), etc. were offline on the "Ele.me" platform; Ikeda Sushi (Longde Plaza Store), Yang Guofu Malatang (Beijing Xiaoyueyuan Store), etc. were offline on the Meituan takeaway platform; Shrimp Eating Shrimp Shabu (Liuliqiao Store), Mali Mala Fragrant Pot Grilled Fish (Guoao Store), etc. were offline on the Baidu takeaway platform.

  "When I first ordered takeout, I looked for those with high sales and rankings, or even the top 10, but later found that it was not the same thing at all. Some takeout was produced by small workshops, and it was impossible to match the evaluation and sales." Liu Changsheng said that later, he chose takeout from more famous restaurants, "but it was still’hit ‘."

  "Don’t believe those so-called rankings, popularity, and even user reviews. Most of them are artificial propaganda. They have nothing to do with the quality of the merchant’s food. When it’s time to have diarrhea, you won’t show mercy… In addition to using this information to fool people and induce users to place orders, there is no guarantee about the safety of their food, so that complaints are just a decoration." Cui Yonghua, who just resigned from a food delivery platform at the beginning of this year, said. "Many times, the platform only focuses on marketing strategies, but forgets that the most important thing for a company is the product and service."

  In addition, according to Cui Yonghua, it has been exposed in the past that there are many "ghost restaurants" on some takeaway platforms, which means that merchants share addresses or share business licenses and health permits. "Those who do business development work in takeaway platform companies have to refresh new stores for performance, which makes there are many’zombie stores’ on the platform, especially beverage stores and dessert stores, which actually do not place orders at all."

  "Brushing’zombie stores’ has performance, and everyone can earn a little more. Although I know that brushing orders is wrong, I feel that this is the normal situation of the industry after a long time, and it is understandable. The most torturous thing every time I rush the performance is whether to refresh the store. I know that brushing new stores will not make the business develop at all, but I still place orders for a little salary." Cui Yonghua said that the takeaway platform he once worked for has been promoting a business plan. Merchants can choose to go online voluntarily and charge a 5% commission as a technical service fee. There is no fee for not going online. "But the difference between going online and not going online is too big. Merchants who go online can get good rankings and positions, and merchants who don’t go online are ranked very low. For example, the ranking of the merchants I did not push online is basically after the mobile end is ranked ten screens, and they will not be seen by consumers at all. "

  Liu Changsheng said that if takeout really cannot be effectively managed, there is no other way but to eat less or even no takeout in the future. "No matter how popular it seems, people can only avoid it. After all, there are many bad businesses, and more people simplify the food processing process for profit, but health is their own."

  Takeaway delivery problem

  No other way is not the best way. In addition to the merchants on the takeaway platform, diners are also finding another way.

  Liu Changsheng once considered buying independent brands of takeout, "because of independent production and delivery, I think they should still be trustworthy, but recently I found a batch of such independent merchants’dead ‘."

  The "independent brands" that Liu Changsheng refers to are those that promote their own kitchens or even central kitchens and can be delivered independently. Around 2015, this kind of takeaway to solve the problem of white-collar lunch took off.

  Sun Tianqi, a former bank executive, was in this batch of "going to the sea", but his store only operated until the end of 2016.

  Due to the central kitchen, Sun Tianqi can also order meals through WeChat and deliver them by himself. The average daily sales of Sun Tianqi’s box lunches are nearly 30 boxes, but the average daily sales of 100 boxes is far from the break-even point.

  "The main reason is that the market has not yet opened," Sun Tianqi recalls, even if the customer base is increased, "but because the price of 25 yuan per serving is high for some people, the customer repurchase rate is high but the purchase frequency is low, even if you think the product is good, you can’t eat it every day."

  The biggest barrier for "independent brands" compared with price is delivery.

  Sun Tianqi is targeting the daily lunch market for office crowds, and the delivery time is highly concentrated. "We usually complete the meal packaging before 10:40 to 11:00, and stop receiving orders at 11:00 to formulate delivery tasks." Sun Tianqi said that the team includes three chefs, one customer service, plus me, a total of five people. "In the case of more than 30 packed lunches per day, due to the scattered orders, it is already full of staff."

  If we continue to expand the scope of publicity and spread the distribution range from a 1-kilometer radius to a 3-kilometer radius, Sun Tianqi alone will definitely not be able to keep up with the logistics distribution.

  "Due to the cost, I didn’t plan to build my own logistics, so I chose the takeaway platform." Sun Tianqi said that he had never wanted to go to the platform, mainly because there were too many management fee deductions. "To put it bluntly, these are all pure profits, which directly leads to the improvement of my profit and loss balance point. I have to reach an average of 125 copies per day to not lose money. But the platform has its own promotion attribute bonus and can solve the logistics and distribution problem, so in order to solve the main contradiction, I decided to go to the platform."

  After contacting the delivery platform, Sun Tianqi could only describe his experience as "desperate":

  The special delivery service of some platforms has restrictions on the delivery range, that is, within 3 kilometers, but Sun Tianqi’s target market is five or six kilometers, which cannot be delivered at all;

  It is outsourced by the takeaway platform, but the outsourced rider is a part-time job, and there is no requirement to force the order. If the customer places an order but there is no outsourced rider to take the order, he will either deliver it himself or refund the order.

  Sun Tianqi has also tried to communicate with the takeaway platform to expand the scope of special delivery, but the freight will also increase. Considering that the freight of 25 yuan products to the target market is about 5 yuan, if Sun Tianqi subsidizes the freight and deducts the management fee, there is almost no profit; if the customer bears the freight, the product price is even less competitive.

  "If the distribution problem is not solved, it cannot be fully promoted, and the existing sales volume and potential market are far from enough to reach break-even, and the whole operation has entered a vicious circle." Sun Tianqi said, and finally chose to stop and suspend business.

Huawei P7 review: Continuing the classic design and improving the experience of the whole machine

As Huawei’s most successful smartphone product last year, the Ascend P6 successfully broke through 6 million in global shipments, which also doubled Huawei’s confidence in the P series, so this year’s follow-up product P7 has naturally become one of Huawei’s most important products. Yesterday’s press conference in Paris, France, showed Huawei’s desire for the European market, and the importance of P7.

The biggest feature of Huawei P7 comes from the upgrade of hardware. The performance of the new HiSilicon 910T processor has become a concern for many people. And before the press conference, I got this Huawei P7 mobile phone. For the questions that many netizens care about, I will answer them one by one through the evaluation.

Appearance: Details improved, workmanship improved

More than half of the success of the P6 is due to the excellent design of the phone, and Huawei naturally wants to extend the design essence of the P6 to the P7. So when I first got the phone, in addition to the feeling of getting started and the material change, I didn’t find any more differences between the P7 and the previous one.

However, after careful study, I found that there are still many improved designs between the P7 and P6. First of all, the material of the mobile phone, the back case of the P7 is made of glass, instead of the metal brushed material of the P6. In terms of feel, the glass surface of the palm feels better, but glass is easier to use as a fingerprint collector than brushed metal, which is a double-edged sword.

Due to the increase in the screen size to 5 inches, the body circumference of the P7 has increased somewhat. The 139.8 × 68.8 × 6.5mm size is not as stunning as the so-called 8.18mm of the P6 last year, but it is estimated that it will save a lot of trouble for Huawei’s public relations team (laughs…).

The P7 maintains the design form of the upper and lower circles. The difference is that the bottom border part has become one-piece this time, rather than detachable like the P6. Obviously, the design difficulty of the P7 is higher than that of the P6. After all, the bottom needs to be designed with an integrated arc, which requires higher craftsmanship. The advantage of this design is that the glass panel on the back can almost cover the entire back, and the feel will not be reduced due to seams.

The P7 has cancelled the maddening headphone jack design on the P6, and the headphone jack has been moved back to the top. The SIM card slot and the SD card slot are still on the right, and the card slot is not marked, which is difficult to distinguish.

The frame of the P7 is still made of metal. In order to ensure that the frame will not block the signal, there are segmented ceramic antennas on the top of both sides of the phone. Since the bottom of the P7 is plastic, the antenna can go from here, so the P7 is not a three-segment antenna like the iPhone. What you see outside the phone is only two.

Screen: Meet the user request to upgrade 1080P

When Huawei released the P6, it always claimed that the 4.7-inch screen with 720P resolution was enough, and 1080P was a waste. However, on the P7, Huawei still upgraded the screen to 5-inch 1080P, which has become one of the best combinations of screen quality and operability in current large-screen mobile phones.

The 5-inch 1080P screen and the screen pixel density of 445 have improved the screen quality of the P7 by a notch. If you have used the P6, the grainy screen will definitely be vivid in your mind. However, these problems have been fundamentally solved on the P7. I shot the screen of the P7 with the Canon 6D. When enlarged to 100%, the grainy screen icon of the mobile phone is basically invisible.

Basically, all the domestic mobile phone screens that can sell for about 2,000 dollars are not too bad, especially the P7, which has a very important position in Huawei’s product line, the screen is naturally not much different. In terms of visual experience alone, the P7 screen can be regarded as having colors and brightness, and the single-piece fit screen is enough to meet the needs of daily use in terms of transparency and viewing angle.

Hardware: not as beautiful as imagined

Previously, it was rumored that Huawei would use the latest eight-core processor Kirin 920 on the P7, but in the end, it was found that Huawei had "carelessly" installed a Kirin 910T on the P7. You can simply think of the new Kirin 910T as an upgraded version of the Kirin 910 used on the previous P6S, mainly to increase the main frequency to 1.8GHz, and the memory of the 910T became a dual pass.

Kirin 910T uses the ARM A9r4 architecture. Although it is the latest version, it is still A9 after all. I can’t compare it with Qualcomm Snapdragon’s top processor. From the running point, the level of 910T is probably similar to the level of Snapdragon 600.

In particular, the GPU used by the 910T is the Mali450MP4, which is much more compatible than the previous P6’s K3V2, but the mail450 is a high-efficiency, low-efficiency and power-saving solution. Due to the long time, there are no high expectations in terms of performance. It can be said that the Kirin 910T can handle 1080P playback very well, but for higher graphics and decoding requirements, the 910T will be very weak.

In terms of heat generation, the heat generation of the P7 is not as hot as that of the P6, but when running games or playing online videos for a long time, the heat generation on the back of the phone is still very obvious, and the feel temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. However, considering that the Huawei P7 I got is an engineering prototype, and even the built-in system is an engineering version, this heat generation may be improved after the official version is launched.

Software: System upgrade Android 4.4 interface has changed little

The system used on Huawei P7 is Emotion UI 2.3 based on Android 4.4.2. This time, Huawei, which finally did not drop the chain on the system version, used the latest underlying and latest UI.

The interface of Emotion UI 2.3 has not changed much, and what you see when you turn it on is still the combination of iconic various widgets. 2.3 has newly added the sharing function of the APP. After dragging the icon and moving to the share button at the top, the program can be sent to the other party through functions such as Bluetooth and WiFi direct connection. Personally, I think this function is quite practical, and it does not need to be transferred through third-party tools. It is very convenient for daily software exchange.

After the change of the lock screen interface in 2.0, 2.3 has undergone some changes again. First of all, this time Huawei has cooperated with some media to use the pictures provided by the media as the lock screen interface diagram, a total of six categories, including stars, travel, fashion, life, cars and sports. Users can choose the specified items to appear in the lock screen interface.

At the same time, there is a shortcut operation bar at the bottom of the lock screen interface, providing content such as music control, calendar, calculator, flashlight, etc. As long as the user does not set the lock screen gesture or password, you can directly open these tools. However, the experience of this function is very poor. Due to the large screen of the P7, when unlocking with one hand, the shortcut operation bar is often pulled out instead of unlocking directly. This probability of misoperation often occurs in my actual experience. At the same time, the drop-down toolbar cannot be closed, which makes me a bit crazy.

2.3 Added a super power saving mode, similar to what Samsung used on the S5. After switching, the entire interface goes black, only phone calls and text messages can be made, and network functions are disabled. In other words, the P7 directly changes from a smartphone to a function machine, and the entire interface goes black, which saves a lot of power on the screen. I also tested this mode, and the phone dropped 3% in 27 minutes. In fact, it doesn’t save so much power, because when making a phone call, the screen automatically turns off, and the power saving is mainly due to the network being cut off.

The same-screen multitasking that has been played skillfully by many Android phone manufacturers also appeared on the P7. After turning on the floating button, functions such as video, music, text messages, calculators, etc. can be run in small window mode on the screen. This function itself is very good, but the shortcoming is that the function is relatively simple, and it is a pity that third-party apps cannot be added.

Network: Supports TD-LTE network

When I got this P7, I also got a parameter table of the P7, which said that Huawei P7 is the "king of telecommunications equipment manufacturing – dual 4G supports TDD and FDD, single card dual standby". Later, I found that the baseband chip with five modes and ten frequencies is actually used in the P7, so in theory the P7 supports TDD, FDD, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and GSM networks.

However, due to MIIT regulations, licensed mobile phones listed in China cannot be compatible with other 3G (4G) network standards as long as they are compatible with TD standard, so when this mobile phone is actually listed in China, it is blocked from FDD and WCDMA networks, and it is only possible to roam into the FDD network when it is used overseas. Although it is not fooling people, such propaganda is exaggerated, and how can a company like ZTE say that it is "five-mode seventeen-frequency" every time?

Photo: 13 million pixel f/2.0 lens

Huawei P7 is equipped with a 13 million pixel camera, using Sony’s stacked sensor and f/2.0 aperture, which can be said to be comparable to many flagship phones in terms of hard power. In terms of software, Huawei has enhanced HDR capabilities on the P7 this time, and replaced the motor to speed up the focus time.

From the sample, the overall performance of the Huawei P7 in normal light is good, especially the color reproduction is quite accurate, and the signs of edge smearing after 100% enlargement are not very serious, and the sharpness is very good. Proofs in low-light environments can be seen that there is a certain problem with the amount of light entering the P7 during shooting, and the brightness of the entire photo is slightly lacking, resulting in a deviation in white balance. Therefore, photos taken in low-light environments feel like they are produced in a cloudy state. Fortunately, the P7 can still handle the details very well. In the case of night, the problem of the P7 is more serious in the ability to suppress noise. Due to the low amount of light entering, the problem is enlarged, and the number of red and green noise on the photo is very large, resulting in a decrease in the overall quality of the photo.

Battery life: The rhythm that needs to be strengthened

Huawei P7 has a built-in 2500 mAh battery. Although I didn’t take apart the phone to see the internal structure, when I got the parameters, I started to think that the battery was too small. In actual use, according to the normal usage frequency every day, half an hour of phone calls, more than WeChat, music is played for 2 hours, and the rhythm of the game is one hour. This battery can only make the P7 work for 12 hours. If you play two more hours of games or watch two more hours of online video, the battery life will be shortened to 10-10.5 hours.

What do you mean? That is to say, if you take the P7 out at 7 am and use it at a similar frequency to mine, the battery life of this phone can only be carried until 19 pm. Unless you charge it, you must go home on time. If you don’t get home, your daughter-in-law will risk divorcing you…

Summary: How much to sell is the key

Huawei announced the price of the European version at yesterday’s press conference, 499 euros, which is about 4,300 + yuan, while the price of the domestic version was also exposed last night, 2888 yuan. The price that meets psychological expectations, the price of the European version is much more expensive than the licensed price due to the high tax problems in its region.

In terms of vertical comparison, the price of Huawei P7 has risen compared to the price of P6 last year. After the success of P6, P7 is bound to increase investment in research and development, marketing costs, etc. It seems that the increase of 200 yuan is indeed not expensive. 2688 has been paid. Do you still care about paying an extra 200 yuan?

But when compared horizontally, it is also the flagship of a domestic mobile phone. It seems that Huawei P7 does not have much advantage in the entire domestic mobile phone product line. After all, it is just a product with hard power at the level of Snapdragon 600. The selling point of P7 lies in the design and shape. Whether it can win the market’s favor again this time depends on its performance after listing. (Wu Bin)

Cheaper and safer sodium ion batteries may become a new track for energy overtaking in China.

  The core of the new round of energy revolution is renewable energy generation and large-scale energy storage. Among many electrochemical energy storage technologies, sodium ion battery is one of the ideal choices for large-scale energy storage because of its rich resources, low cost, high safety, high conversion efficiency, flexibility, convenience, easy integration, fast response and maintenance-free.

  — — Hu Yongsheng, researcher of Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, founder and chairman of Zhongke Haina.

  Intern reporter Yu Ziyue

  Recently, high-tech enterprises such as Zhongke Haina Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhongke Haina) and Huayang New Materials Technology Group Co., Ltd. hatched by Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences signed a contract with the Management Committee of Shanxi Transformation Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone to build a production line for anode and cathode materials of sodium ion batteries with an annual output of 2,000 tons in Taiyuan.

  On February 20th, Hu Yongsheng, a researcher at the Institute of Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the founder and chairman of Zhongke Haina, said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter that China’s sodium ion batteries are in the forefront of the world in terms of technology research and development such as material system and battery comprehensive performance, as well as in terms of industrialization speed, demonstration application, patent layout and standard formulation, and have already had the first-Mover advantage.

  New energy nova is accelerating on the road of industrialization.

  The development of fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas has led to the rapid development of human society, and the progress of modern non-fossil energy is also triggering a new round of energy revolution. Who will be the protagonist this time?

  The voice of lithium-ion batteries is very high. However, when lithium-ion batteries are widely used in more and more fields in China, an unavoidable problem is becoming more and more worrying — — China’s lithium resources are highly dependent on imports. It is necessary to develop energy storage battery technology which does not depend on rare resources and has low cost.

  Sodium ion battery, which is closest to lithium ion battery technology, has begun to emerge. In recent years, related achievements with independent intellectual property rights have emerged continuously. Intelligent electric bicycles, low-speed electric vehicles, home energy storage cabinets, energy storage power stations and sightseeing electric vehicles in parks/scenic spots with sodium ion batteries as the "heart" have come out one after another, and many achievements have been released for the first time in the world.

  In the "Top Ten Scientific Progress in China in 2020" recently organized by the High-tech Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, sodium ion battery research was selected as 30 candidate results.

  As a new star of new energy, sodium ion battery is accelerating on the road of industrialization, or it will become an opportunity for China to lead a new round of energy revolution.

  "Sodium" attracts talents to make up for the lack of "lithium"

  Globally, the distribution of lithium resources is extremely uneven, with about 70% distributed in South America. Available data show that at present, 80% of lithium resources in China depend on imports.

  "Although lithium-ion batteries have become ‘, which accounts for 80% of the global electrochemical energy storage scale market; Absolute first brother ’ However, the scarcity of its resources and high cost have led to the large-scale development of its industry facing the ceiling. " Hu Yongsheng said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter.

  How to solve the problem? It is urgent to find a cheap substitute.

  Therefore, sodium ion batteries with the same working principle and similar battery components as lithium ion batteries have ushered in a great development opportunity.

  Similar to lithium-ion batteries, sodium ion batteries rely on the reversible stripping and embedding of sodium ions between positive and negative electrodes to realize the storage and output of electric energy.

  Sodium resources are extremely abundant in the earth’s crust, and the abundance of the earth’s crust is more than 1000 times that of lithium. Sodium ion batteries have shown significant advantages in cost. If the same energy is stored, the cost will be about 30% less than that of lithium ion batteries. Because of the similar battery structure, most of the existing lithium ion battery production equipment can be directly put into the production of sodium ion batteries, which further improves the cost control.

  In the process of industrialization, low price is very important, but good quality is more important. Hu Yongsheng told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that the comprehensive performance of sodium ion batteries shows multiple advantages.

  With the deepening of research, researchers found that sodium ion batteries have good power characteristics, wide temperature range adaptability, safety performance and no discharge problems. In addition, both the anode and cathode of the sodium ion battery can adopt aluminum foil current collectors, which can further improve the energy density of the sodium ion battery and make the sodium ion battery move towards the direction of low cost, long life, high specific energy and high safety.

  Hu Yongsheng, for example, now commonly used mobile phone lithium-ion batteries can be fully charged in about one hour, while sodium-ion batteries can be fully charged in ten minutes or even less. It is frequently reported that lithium-ion batteries go on strike at low temperature in winter, while the discharge characteristics of sodium-ion batteries are still very good in the environment as low as -30℃ and as high as 80℃, which shows that they are environmentally friendly, very "sturdy" and can withstand tossing. "We have done experiments, using a steel needle to pierce the sodium ion battery, artificially shorting it, and found that there was no fire or explosion."

  Cheap, "sturdy" and safe, sodium ion batteries are likely to become an important supplementary technology for lithium ion batteries in the future.

  Breaking the technical bottleneck and broadening the application scope

  Positive electrode, negative electrode and electrolyte are the three elements of sodium ion battery. Among them, most cathode materials face bottlenecks such as poor stability, short cycle life and high cost.

  In order to solve these problems, the research team of Hu Yong Sheng bypassed the high-priced elements such as nickel and cobalt, which are commonly used as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, and used common elements such as copper, iron and manganese, and developed a layered oxide cathode material system for sodium-ion batteries with low cost, high stability and long service life.

  Previously, the team cooperated with international scholars and published the research results on the cathode materials of sodium ion batteries for the first time in Science magazine.

  Relying on the sodium ion battery technical team of the Institute of Physics, Zhongke Haina was established in 2017, becoming the first high-tech enterprise in China to focus on the R&D and production of sodium ion batteries. At present, Zhongke Haina has been financed twice, totaling 58 million yuan, for pilot technology development, and has built a 100-ton pilot test line for anode and cathode materials of sodium ion batteries and a million ampere-hour battery core line, and developed many products, such as soft bags, aluminum shells and cylindrical batteries, with energy density of 100— Between 150 watt-hours per kilogram, it is more than 3 times that of lead-acid battery, and its cycle life is more than 4500 times. Not long ago, the Science and Technology Cooperation Center of Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission organized an expert group to accept the project it undertook. The evaluation given by the expert group was that the relevant technical indicators reached the international leading level.

  At the end of 2017, the team developed a 48V/10Ah sodium ion battery pack for electric bicycles; In 2018, the team developed a 72V/80Ah sodium ion battery pack and launched the world’s first sodium ion battery electric vehicle.

  It is reported that the team has obtained more than 20 patents authorized by China on key materials such as positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte, additives and adhesives (some patents have been authorized by the United States, Japan and the European Union), and published more than 100 papers in academic magazines such as Science and Nature, which have been cited for more than 10,000 times.

  These scientific research achievements will also play the role of engines, and will be transformed in a series of incubation enterprises such as Zhongke Haina, providing inexhaustible power for the commercial development of sodium ion batteries.

  High hopes are placed on scale energy storage.

  Climate change is a global problem facing human beings, so China has put forward the goal of carbon neutrality in 2030 peak carbon dioxide emissions and 2060, which also means that China’s economy and society will usher in a comprehensive low-carbon change.

  In 2017, Chen Liquan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, put forward the idea of "electric China". This coincides with China’s advocacy of building a global energy internet to meet global power demand in a clean and green way.

  So, here’s the problem.

  Solar energy and wind energy are the main renewable new energy sources to generate electricity, but they are random, intermittent and fluctuating. Solar panels can generate electricity in sunny days and during the day, but on cloudy days and at night, they "stop eating". Wind power generation is also closely related to wind power and weather. However, nowadays, we can’t leave electricity for a moment, and we can’t stand the days when electricity is only available when the weather is "awesome".

  There is an urgent need for large-scale energy storage devices, mainly energy storage power stations, to store surplus electric energy and use it when power generation is insufficient to ensure a stable supply of electricity.

  At present, the lithium-ion battery is the "first brother" in the energy storage demonstration power station. However, due to various restrictions mentioned above, the lithium-ion battery cannot support the two huge markets of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage at the same time. Therefore, Academician Chen Liquan and researcher Hu Yongsheng have high hopes on the sodium-ion battery.

  In 2019, Zhongke Haina launched the world’s first 100 kWh sodium ion battery energy storage power station, which realized the demonstration application of sodium ion battery in large-scale energy storage for the first time.

  "peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality are China’s solemn commitments and opportunities to lead the third energy revolution." Hu Yongsheng pointed out that the core of the new round of energy revolution is renewable energy power generation and scale energy storage. At present, the former is close to maturity, while the latter is still developing. Among many electrochemical energy storage technologies, sodium ion battery is one of the ideal choices for scale energy storage because of its rich resources, low cost, high safety, high conversion efficiency, flexibility, convenience and easy integration, fast response speed and maintenance-free.

  Due to the huge energy storage market and industrial demand, combined with China’s perfect lithium-ion battery industry chain, sodium ion batteries have already had the conditions to take the lead in realizing industrialization and commercialization in China.

  "I believe that with the strong support of the top-level planning and related policies of governments at all levels in China, with the collaborative innovation of production, learning and research and the promotion of social capital, sodium ion batteries will surely play an important role in achieving the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality." Hu Yongsheng said.

  Poirot: Evil Under The Sun


  Lu Bingxian, Zhai Jianguo, Tang Hanying


  Officials in the Hu Xing Series who "tripped" a "Allure" high-rise building


  With the trial of Lu Bingxian and Zhai Jianguo successively, the Hu Xing series cases once again attracted people’s attention.


  After the incident in Hu Xing, officials such as Lu Bingxian, former director of Enterprise Income Tax Management Office of Kunming State Taxation Bureau, Tang Hanying, former head of Kunming Land Center, and Zhai Jianguo, former director of Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture, were successively dismissed … All these seem to be inextricably linked with the 21-story "Beautiful Buildings" proudly erected on Jinbi Road in Kunming in 2005.
 
  Ceng Hua, Hu Xing, Lu Bingxian, Zhai Jianguo, and Tang Hanying, what are their connections? How did the "famous city building" break the "second ring ban" and appear in the city center?


  "Building a Famous City" Breaking Policy Barriers


  In 2005, a high-rise building named "A Beautiful City and a Famous Building" appeared on the Jinbi Road in a prime location in Kunming.


  For a time, there was a lot of discussion, because earlier, Kunming issued a regulation that no high-rise buildings should be built within the Second Ring Road. In principle, land should be used for environmental greening, roads, public welfare facilities and municipal facilities, and generally commercial residential projects should not be developed. This decision has become an insurmountable policy barrier for real estate developers. The rise of "the city is famous for its buildings" broke the ban and immediately attracted the close attention of relevant people.


  Today, the professional websites of real estate still retain the introduction of "Splendid Sunshine City Famous Building": "Splendid Sunshine City Famous Building is located in Tongren Street, Jinbi Road, opposite to Jinbi Park, separated from the landmark historical building Jinma Bijifang in Kunming, bearing the wind and rain of Dongxi Temple Tower and Zhong ‘aifang, with a panoramic view of prosperity and history … The apartment is classic, multi-faceted, bright and transparent, and each set starts at 700,000 yuan."


  Nearly two years have passed, and the "all-famous buildings" have already been sold out, and the price in the second-hand housing market exceeds 10,000 yuan per square meter; The price of "Laifu Plaza Shop" has also increased by 100,000 yuan per square meter. Indeed, like the original bullish advertising words: "If you miss the opportunity, you have to wait another hundred years!"


  Hu Xing behind "the city is famous for its architecture"


  It is said that pointing to this towering real estate, developers are indignant: we are not allowed to build tall buildings, how did this project come out? Officials in provinces and cities are also puzzled. A new company with a registered capital of only 5.1 million yuan can operate a property worth 2 billion yuan in the most prosperous area. What’s the catch? What is hidden behind the "famous city"? What kind of hand is manipulating in the dark?


  The mystery will eventually be solved. When investigating the case of Ceng Hua, Kunming Procuratorate learned that the developer of "Qingcheng Famous Building" was Jincheng Sunshine Company (hereinafter referred to as "Jincheng Company"), and the real boss of this company was named Bing Lin. In addition, the registered capital of the company is "5.1 million yuan", and the two natural person shareholders are "Zhang Xima accounts for 81% and 4.12 million yuan; Li Bin accounted for 19% and 980,000 ". The data also shows that Zhang Xima and Li Bin are both from Shenzhen.


  Prosecutors discovered through investigation that Li Bin had a daughter surnamed Hu, and then confirmed that Bing Lin, formerly known as Hu Bin, was the third brother of Hu Xing, then deputy director of Yunnan Provincial Communications Department. At this point, in the eyes of prosecutors, Hu Xing began to emerge vaguely.


  The mystery of the rise of "the city is famous for its buildings"


  On January 15th, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Kunming Procuratorate took action and summoned Hu Bin and several managers of Jincheng Company, as well as Tang Hanying, the head of Kunming Land Reserve Center. After a short period of resistance, Tang finally admitted that Hu Xing specifically told him to run the Jinbi Road project. On April 3, 2003, the Kunming Municipal Government started to demolish a plot of Jinbi Road to build an open park, but Hu Xing, then vice mayor of Kunming, proposed to auction 6.69 mu of it, and the proceeds could make up for the shortage of funds for demolition and construction. And through means, it finally ensured that Jincheng Company got the land at 4.03 million yuan per mu.


  In the whole process of "trading", the Hu brothers tried their best to hide their true identity. However, there are various indications that Hu Xing is inextricably linked with Jincheng Company, and the former vice mayor is suspected of taking advantage of his position to seek personal gain for relatives and friends. According to the preliminary estimation of the case-handling personnel, the project of "Famous Buildings in the Whole City" has made amazing profits due to the intervention of power.


  The curtain covering up the truth has been lifted, and the "blade" points directly at Hu Xing. The Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened in the case because it involved departmental cadres. Yunnan provincial high-level officials are determined to investigate with an iron fist, trace the source and expose the truth. But at that moment, Hu Xing suddenly disappeared. As a result, there is a story of the investigators tracking the transnational pursuit of Hu Xing for thousands of miles …


  Officials brought out by "the city is famous for its buildings"


  From Ceng Hua to Hu Xing, from Hu Xing to Lu Bingxian, Tang Hanying, and Zhai Jianguo, "the famous building of the whole city" is, to some extent, the lead of the breach in the series of Hu Xing cases.


  The trial of Lu Bingxian in Kunming Intermediate People’s Court was held the day before yesterday. The public prosecutor accused Lu of accepting cash and shopping cards from Bing Lin several times from 2004 to 2006, totaling 55,000 yuan, and taking advantage of his position, he handled the preferential corporate income tax for Jincheng Sunshine House Company, so that the company was exempted from paying corporate income tax for three years from 2004 to 2006 and paid corporate income tax by half in 2007 and 2008. Later, Lu asked Bing Lin to remit 1.85 million yuan to his daughter’s account, and used 1.83 million yuan to buy a house in Beijing. As for the above facts, the public prosecutor provided a number of witness testimonies and exhibits to confirm them, and Lu himself recognized them in court.


  The case of Zhai Jianguo, another protagonist of the series and former director of Kunming Municipal Bureau of Landscaping and Greening, was also heard in Kunming Intermediate People’s Court yesterday.


  What’s the connection between Zhai Jianguo and "the city is famous" and Hu Xing case? The situation in yesterday’s court is unknown. However, in the eyes of local real estate businessmen in Kunming, Hu Xing’s "right-hand men" are not only Ceng Hua, but also Tang Hanying and Zhai Jianguo. The former was the director of Kunming Land Reserve Center and the latter was the director of Kunming Landscaping Bureau. Together with Ceng Hua’s Planning Bureau, they almost completely control the administrative examination and approval power of land development, construction and greening in Kunming. Coupled with the "tax official" Lu Bingxian, the "energy" of this "interest alliance" can be imagined.


  With Ceng Hua, Hu Xing, Lu Bingxian, Zhai Jianguo and others appearing for trial one by one, the next one to sit in the dock should be another "protagonist" of this series of cases, Tang Hanying. We will wait and see how much the Tang Hanying case involves.

  Is it also a crime of bribery for a younger brother to send money to his brother?


  Jinling Evening News published a report on June 10th, 2005, revealing the news that Ye Zhang, the president of a bank in Changsha, was arrested for taking bribes. As mentioned in the article, the tens of thousands of yuan that Zhang Ke, his brother, gave to Ye Zhang also became the evidence that the court found that Ye Zhang had taken bribes. Not only that, but Zhang Ke was also dealt with in another case on suspicion of bribery. "How did your family relationship with your younger brother become a bribe and a bribe?" The article describes Ye Zhang’s mentality after being detained, and also reveals the confusion of many ordinary people. The reporter interviewed a number of professionals in the legal field and found that there is still great controversy in the legal field about how to identify bribery and bribery between relatives.


  Ye Zhang’s "Brotherhood"


  According to reports, Ye Zhang, who was born in the countryside, had a very good relationship with his younger brother Zhang Ke. After becoming the president, he tried to help his younger brother. So when his younger brother finally set up a factory in Changsha, Ye Zhang used his position as president to help his younger brother say hello, stop business and even get a loan. Zhang Ke made money, but he certainly won’t forget his brother. When he heard that his brother’s son was going to study in an aristocratic school, he took out 50 thousand yuan to pay the tuition for his brother; My brother bought a new house, and he sent another 120 thousand yuan for decoration; When the sister-in-law bought a car, he sent another 250,000 yuan in cash to his brother’s office.


  Viewpoint 1: "Brotherhood" does not constitute a crime.


  People who hold this view believe that it is understandable that relatives, especially brothers, exchange gifts and property, which is a normal emotional exchange. Even if the elder brother who is in power "greets" his younger brother for benefits and receives money from the younger brother who wants something from himself, it is not appropriate to identify it according to the crime of bribery and bribery.


  Viewpoint 2: There is no legal basis for the theory of not constituting a crime.


  Those who hold this view believe that bribery and bribery crimes are duty crimes stipulated in the specific provisions of China’s criminal law. No matter what kind of kinship the briber and the briber have, as long as they meet the constitutive requirements of such crimes, it is enough to constitute a crime. There is no legal basis for the view that between husband and wife, between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, the behavior of sending property by the unauthorized party and receiving property by the powerful party does not constitute bribery and bribery crimes.


  Viewpoint 3: Specific analysis of specific situations


  Most people interviewed believe that the situation of "giving gifts" and "receiving gifts" between relatives is complicated, and they can neither be treated as crimes nor simply found guilty. The key is to distinguish between "reciprocity between relatives" and "bribery and bribery crimes". Generally speaking, reciprocity between relatives should be a two-way communication of "giving back and forth". If relatives always give gifts to the party who is in power, but the other party never or rarely returns gifts, and the party who receives gifts always uses the convenience of his position to seek benefits for the giver, then both parties may constitute bribery and bribery crimes. At the same time, those who hold this view emphasize that there should be some differences between "gift-giving behavior between relatives" and the identification of bribery and bribery between non-relatives in general. Although there are no restrictive provisions on the subjects of bribery and bribery crimes in China’s criminal law, considering the special factors between relatives, those relatives who have not been separately accounted for economically, and those who have been independently accounted for economically but have not clearly asked for the reasons, generally should not be punished as bribery and bribery.


  My own brother pulled him into the wrong path.


  How did Zhai Jianguo embark on the road of crime? Through interviews with relevant case-handling departments and insiders, our reporter learned that the initial motive of his crime was not pure pursuit of illegal interests like most other corrupt officials, but out of deep brotherhood, it was his own brother Zhai, who was mentioned by the public prosecution in the indictment.


  In his early years, Zhai, who had a low education level, had no fixed occupation and his family life was very tight. As a brother, Zhai Jianguo is anxious in his eyes and often takes some money to help his younger brother. Zhai is very sensible and has always been grateful to his brother. In 2001, after Zhai Jianguo started to be the "number one" in Kunming Garden Bureau, his brother secretly thought about asking his brother to help him "find something to do".


  In October 2002, Zhai Jianguo, who understood his brother’s mind, found an opportunity. At that time, he was very excited and felt that he could finally really help his brother, but he was unaware that he had slipped into a terrible abyss.


  He later recalled in an account that he personally arranged and "greeted" the relevant person in charge and handed over the project of Yuantong Square to his younger brother. However, the cost of this project is more than 5 million, and it must go through public bidding, and Zhai does not have the corresponding qualifications and strength. Therefore, Zhai found Shenzhen Zhisong Company and asked the company to come forward to participate in the bidding. Subsequently, Zhai Jianguo found a person in charge of the Municipal Planning and Design Institute and told him to find a bidding agency to take charge of the bidding. After some operations, Shenzhen Zhisong Company won the bid, and this large-scale municipal project finally fell into Zhai’s hands.


  The road greening project of Chunyu Road is another project that Zhai Jianguo helped his brother get. Zhai Jianguo didn’t have the right to make decisions on this project, so it took quite some trouble. He found his former subordinate, Yang, who was then the director of Xishan District Urban Construction Bureau, and said that an old friend was idle and wanted to find some projects to do. Yang arranged for Liu in the greening department of the district to let Liu directly contact Zhai. Of course, things will be done soon. After that, Zhai will send some red envelopes to Liu on holidays, but not to Yang.


  In this way, Zhai Jianguo "greeted" his younger brother again and again, and directly or indirectly arranged projects for his younger brother again and again. After getting the project, Zhai, who didn’t have the construction strength, went to other enterprises to join or cooperate, and soon became rich. In order to "repay" his brother, Zhai gave 1.7 million yuan to the "director’s brother" one after another, but at the same time, he constantly warned himself that he could not screw up the project that his brother "handed over", otherwise it would ruin his brother’s reputation.


  Later, the situation shows that the quality of these projects is really quite good, and some of them have even become landmark projects with rich Kunming characteristics, for example, four decorative landscape projects on Cuihu Lake, including the sculpture of "Old Seagull".


  The Hu Xing case led to the bribery of the former director of Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture.


  Zhai Jianguo: I took 2.5 million yuan, and I returned 4 yuan and 75 cents more.


  Yesterday, another corrupt official brought out by the Hu Xing case stood in the dock of Kunming Intermediate People’s Court: Zhai Jianguo, former Party Secretary and Director of Kunming Bureau of Landscaping and Greening (hereinafter referred to as Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture). The Kunming Municipal People’s Procuratorate accused him of accepting bribes amounting to more than 2.5 million yuan, and the defendant had a good attitude and fully admitted it.


  It is worth noting that the defendant in this case took bribes from his own brother, and according to the ascertained situation, all the bribes have been recovered, and the family returned an extra 4.75 yuan when they returned the stolen goods. On this basis, the defense lawyer further suggested that the defendant had surrendered himself and should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. After the debate, the public prosecution agency said: There is no objection to the circumstances of surrender.


  1. The officials involved in the Hu Xing case did not involve Hu Xing in their crimes.


  Zhai Jianguo, who is just half a century old, has gray hair and sits in the dock of the No.2 Grand Court of Kunming Intermediate People’s Court. He is strong and energetic.


  Zhai Jianguo was detained in criminal detention on January 25th this year, and was formally arrested on February 7th. Prior to this, Hu Xing, who was appointed as the deputy director of Yunnan Provincial Communications Department, had just committed a crime and was wanted by the Ministry of Public Security in the whole country with an A-level wanted order. At that time, Zhai Jianguo was still sitting on his throne as director, and had a brief colleague relationship with Hu in the planning system, which made him one of the officials involved in the case.


  Soon, Zhai’s bribery case surfaced, and was included in the Hu Xing series of cases by relevant departments and the media, which attracted much attention from all walks of life. However, according to what has been disclosed so far, all the economic crimes he is responsible for have not involved Hu Xing.


  The Kunming Municipal People’s Procuratorate accused Zhai Jianguo: From 2002 to 2006, the defendant Zhai Jianguo took advantage of his position in charge of landscaping to arrange or coordinate his younger brother Zhai to undertake landscaping projects such as Yuantong Park Square Road, Cuihu Park Greening and Chunyu Road Road Greening, with a total project cost of more than 12 million yuan. From 2004 to 2005, Zhai sent 1.5 million yuan in cash to Zhai Jianguo, and deposited it in two bank accounts of Zhai Jianguo’s ex-wife Duan and his son Zhai Moumou. In April 2006, Zhai once again sent 200,000 yuan to the account of Li, the current wife of Zhai Jianguo.


  From 2002 to 2007, Zhai Jianguo also took advantage of his position to arrange Kunming Kaifang Art Decoration Co., Ltd. to undertake sculpture decoration projects in Jinbi Park, Cuihu Park and Yuantong Park, as well as art murals on Chuncheng Road, with a total cost of more than 15 million yuan. After the company made huge profits, it gave Zhai Jianguo RMB 350,000. In addition, according to the agreement reached by both parties in advance, the company also invested 432,485.25 yuan to decorate three houses in Jiangdong Xiaokang City, Wenlin Yaju and Shuguang East District for Zhai, and "helped" to purchase some furniture and electrical appliances.


  2. The defender claimed that the defendant surrendered himself, which was recognized by the public prosecution agency.


  The public prosecution agency believes that Zhai Jianguo, as a national staff member, took advantage of his position in charge of landscaping work to illegally accept bribes from others for many times and seek benefits for others. The amount of bribes reached 2,502,485.25 yuan, and his behavior has violated the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, so he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for accepting bribes. In the Indictment, the public prosecution agency did not mention "Hu Xing" at all, nor did it mention whether the defendant might be given a lighter or mitigated punishment.


  Entrusted by family members, the defendants are two lawyers, Su Jianming and Li Zhibin, from Yunnan Xinyangwu Law Firm. "Zhai Jianguo was found guilty, but his situation belongs to surrender. According to the first paragraph of Article 67 of the Criminal Law, he should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment." In the debate stage, Su Jianming proposed.


  The defendant’s defender wrote in his defense: Zhai Jianguo was not "double-regulated" before the crime, that is to say, the relevant departments did not grasp the facts of his crime. After Hu Xing’s murder on January 23 this year, Zhai Jianguo was found by the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection (hereinafter referred to as the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection) to cooperate with the investigation of Hu Xing. After answering the questions about Hu Xing, he voluntarily confessed his bribery. The next day, the investigation organ issued a Notice of Inquiry to him, and he confessed all his crimes truthfully again. This situation can be confirmed by a "Description of the Situation" issued by the Kunming Municipal People’s Procuratorate. The "Description of the Situation" said: "When handling the case of Hu Xing, our hospital found that Zhai Jianguo, the director of Kunming Garden Bureau, was suspected of accepting bribes, and then investigated him. The suspect truthfully explained all the criminal facts of his alleged bribery to the judicial organs."


  After the first round of debate, the prosecutor said in court: There is no objection to the nature of surrender.


  During the trial, it was found that the defendant Zhai Jianguo actively returned the stolen money after returning to the case, and paid a total of 2,502,490 yuan to the case-handling organ. The defender said: the returned stolen money is even 4.75 yuan more than the amount of bribes, which is another strong evidence of his "light theory". Defenders believe: "Whether the withdrawal from Tibet is complete or not is an important indicator to measure the defendant’s repentance attitude in economic crimes."


  Zhai Jianguo in the eyes of the world: he is too affectionate and a filial son.


  Speaking of "70 old mother"


  Tears ran down his eyes.


  "Don’t inform my family, I don’t want them to come to see me on trial …" Before the court session yesterday, Zhai Jianguo in the detention center sent a message to his defender, so he repeatedly told me. "He is very affectionate." This is one of the defenders, lawyer Li Zhibin’s impression of Zhai.


  According to Zhai Jianguo’s meaning, the defender didn’t tell Zhai’s old mother, who was over 70 years old, and his son, who had just been admitted to the university. The relatives who came to attend the audit were only the current wife Li.


  "These are all facts, and I plead guilty." The defendant Zhai Jianguo fully admitted all the alleged crimes. In the final statement stage, he briefly reviewed his working experience and began to express his inner "repentance": "I am sorry for the training of the party and the country, and I am sorry for the people … asking for a chance to start over." Although depressed, Zhai Jianguo in the dock tried to control his emotions during the trial, but when he said, "I slept with my 70-year-old mother," he burst into tears.


  When he was first brought to justice, Zhai Jianguo wrote in a "confession material" entitled "Deep understanding of his own economic problems": "Since he became a director, he has relaxed his ideological and political study, relaxed the transformation of his world outlook and outlook on life, and produced the idea of" having the right not to be obsolete ". I always feel that I work very hard, but I get very little, and my heart is extremely unbalanced. As a result, they used their rights to gain national interests, so that they violated discipline and law, slipped to the brink of danger and completely ruined themselves. Everything I have done is very serious and bad in nature … I am the secretary of the Party Committee of the Bureau of Gardens, the first person responsible for the work of party style and clean government, and I am also educating people on the surface, but (actually) I am a hypocrite. "


  Despite such a "profound" "understanding", Zhai Jianguo seems to be optimistic about his own destiny. "Learn from these mistakes, and you must repent (reform) and turn over a new leaf, and strive for a lighter and more lenient treatment. I am 50 years old this year, and my health is not very good. I have done some useful things for the country and society in the past … and I have problems in my life for the rest of my life. I am sure that the organization can keep my public office and give me hope for my future life … No matter what the organization does, I will accept it. "


  The reporter learned from many interviews that before the incident, Zhai Jianguo was quite low-key. As the head of the provincial capital city garden bureau, he almost never appeared in public, and there was almost no news about him on the Internet, let alone personal information such as his resume. Two old employees of the Bureau of Landscape Architecture told this reporter: "Zhai Bureau really attaches great importance to feelings, is easy-going to its subordinates, and is famous for its filial piety to the elderly at home."


  The staff of the Bureau of Landscape Architecture said


  He is a good leader who goes to work by bus.


  "Usually, he is strict with the employees of the unit. We didn’t expect Director Zhai to have such a thing!" When Zhai Jianguo was mentioned, several employees of Kunming Bureau of Landscape Architecture commented on him like this.


  "In our impression, we have never found anything wrong with Director Zhai. He is a good leader in the prime of life, but who would have thought that he would be such a person?" These workers also deliberately told reporters loudly that Zhai Jianguo gave everyone the impression that he was very principled. Except for office work, he never drove home by bus, and went to work by bus every day. He didn’t talk much at ordinary times, and he was amiable and approachable regardless of his superiors or the logistics staff of the unit.


  Another employee said in private that Zhai Jianguo gave him the impression that he was a "fat boy" in society. In the impression of the majority of employees, Zhai Jianguo often showed off his relationship with some leaders in the city as close friends, deliberately leaving others with the ability to "reach the sky with one hand".

  □ Case reflection


  Giving property between relatives may also constitute a crime.


  Due to the special exchange of evidence before, the trial yesterday morning went very smoothly, lasting less than an hour and a half. At about 10: 30, the presiding judge announced that he would make a first-instance judgment on a certain date.


  "In my opinion, Zhai Jianguo can be said to have fallen because of’ love’. This love is brotherhood, and this is the particularity of this case. This particularity highlights a problem worthy of discussion, that is, giving property between relatives may also constitute a crime. " After the trial, lawyer Su Jianming, one of the defendants’ defenders, told the reporter.


  Lawyer Su said: Giving gifts to relatives and friends on major festivals or special days is a part of China’s ancient cultural tradition, which is understandable. In the vast majority of bribery and bribery cases, people who are judged to constitute crimes mainly give gifts to government workers. This is not controversial. However, this case is not the case. This case belongs to the economic exchanges between relatives. Because of the innate blood relationship between relatives, it is sometimes difficult to define whether this gift-giving behavior is purely for profit.


  "I know that the case is controversial when it is qualitative, but even as a lawyer of the defendant, I still think that this gift-giving behavior constitutes a crime. Because the relationship between giving gifts and receiving gifts and gifts should not affect the nature of the case. " Su Jianming said: This is the special educational significance of Zhai Jianguo’s bribery case. It can remind and warn other government workers, even among relatives, not to use their powers to open the door for each other’s interests, let alone accept each other’s "gratitude" and charge each other’s "thank you fee".

Do a good job of technology and finance’s great article and accelerate the realization of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology

  [Doing Five Great Articles to Promote High-quality Financial Development]

  Author: Dong Zhi (Vice President of Peking University, Dean of School of Economics)

  The Central Financial Work Conference held a few days ago put forward that "finance should provide high-quality services for economic and social development" and "do five major articles on technology and finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance and digital finance", which pointed out the direction for China’s financial services to the real economy. As the first of the "Five Great Articles", doing a good job in technology and finance’s great article not only shows that the Party and the country attach great importance to scientific and technological innovation, but also shows that science and technology, as the primary productive force, plays an important role in economic and social development, and it also shows that technology and finance plays an important role in promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.

  1 fully understand the significance of doing a good job in technology and finance’s great articles.

  Technology and finance refers to a series of financial activities of scientific and technological innovation in financial services and the development of scientific and technological enterprises. It is the product of deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and financial innovation, involving financial system, financial policy, financial model, financial products and other aspects. Doing a good job in technology and finance’s great article is an inherent requirement for China to enter a new stage of development, implement new development concepts, and build a new development pattern. It is also the need for finance to achieve high-quality development and achieve the goal of becoming a financial power.

  Lay a solid foundation for realizing a strong country through science and technology. Innovation is the first driving force to lead development, and finance is the blood of the development of the real economy. On the one hand, technology and finance has expanded the financing channels of scientific and technological innovative enterprises, reduced the risk of financial exclusion of scientific and technological innovative enterprises, and effectively improved their scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Flexible and diversified financing methods are particularly obvious in supporting long-term and difficult scientific and technological innovation; On the other hand, technology and finance can provide innovative financing incentives for enterprises, cultivate their innovative consciousness in the field of actual production and service, promote the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, optimize the structure of the real economy and improve the overall economic benefits.

  Inject strong impetus into building a financial power. The development of technology and finance can promote the formation of the innovation ecosystem of the real economy and the financial industry at the same time, which not only provides a more favorable environment for scientific and technological innovation, but also provides a platform for orderly competition in the financial industry. Through diversified financing methods, technology and finance provides full-chain, full-life financial services for science and technology enterprises, which not only promotes scientific and technological enterprises to carry out R&D innovation activities and transform scientific and technological achievements, but also reduces the tendency of funds to be divorced from reality. In addition, the development of technology and finance has also built a platform for financial institutions to achieve innovative competitive development. Excellent technology and finance institutions should be able to quickly and effectively identify science and technology-based enterprises with technology transformation capability and market potential, and also provide multi-level services in finance, operation, R&D and even industrial chain integration.

  Provide a strong guarantee for independent development. At present, the world’s great changes in the past century have accelerated its evolution, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has developed in depth, and the international power has been profoundly adjusted. Major countries have regarded scientific and technological innovation as the main battlefield of the international strategic game, and the competition around the commanding heights of scientific and technological innovation has been unprecedentedly fierce. China’s development has also entered a period in which strategic opportunities and risk challenges coexist and uncertain and unpredictable factors increase. The sound development of technology and finance can effectively help independent research and development, ensure the stability and security of China’s industrial chain and supply chain, accelerate the deployment of innovation chain around the industrial chain, and escort the self-reliance and self-improvement of science and technology.

  2 The current development trend of technology and finance in China

  In recent years, China’s high-tech industry has developed vigorously. By the end of the third quarter of 2023, China had cultivated 103,000 specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and 178 national high-tech industrial development zones achieved a total industrial output value of 23.5 trillion yuan. The proportion of high-tech industries has been expanding, and high-tech manufacturing has accounted for 15.3% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. How to use financial services to boost the development of high-tech industries and optimize the national economic structure has become a key issue that macro-economy must answer to achieve high-quality development. In this context, China attaches great importance to the construction of technology and finance system, actively promotes the deep integration of finance and science and technology, and gives full play to the synergistic role of market and government in the development of technology and finance. It has not only initially established a diversified service system in technology and finance, including venture capital, stock market, bond market and bank credit, but also formed a market-oriented support system represented by government-guided funds to promote the development of technology and finance. technology and finance’s development has achieved remarkable results.

  By the end of June 2023, the management scale of venture capital and private equity investment funds in China was nearly 14 trillion yuan, and hard technology enterprises became the hot target of equity investment. Science and technology innovation board injected a strong impetus into the development of science and technology enterprises, successfully promoted more than 500 enterprises to realize IPO, and raised nearly one trillion yuan; Beijing Stock Exchange strives to promote the formation of a full-chain service system to support the innovation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and has become the main position to build innovative small and medium-sized enterprises with services. Among them, more than 80 enterprises have been selected into the national list of "Little Giant" enterprises with specialization and innovation, and over 80% of the companies have been selected into the list of provincial and municipal enterprises with specialization and innovation. In addition to equity financing, technology and finance’s related debt financing has also increased significantly, with the balance of Kechuang bills and Kechuang corporate bonds of about 450 billion yuan, and the balance of medium and long-term loans for high-tech manufacturing, loans for small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises and loans for "specialized and innovative" enterprises of 2.5 trillion yuan, 2.36 trillion yuan and 2.72 trillion yuan respectively, maintaining a growth rate of over 20% for many years. In addition, in order to effectively solve the information asymmetry between science and technology enterprises and financial institutions and the financing difficulties of science and technology enterprises, since 2020, the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology has launched an enterprise innovation point system to "portrait" the innovation ability of enterprises through the form of innovation points, identify and discover science and technology enterprises with strong innovation ability and great growth potential, and encourage financial institutions to provide credit support in combination with scientific and technological innovation evaluation.Guide local governments to open up direct channels for fiscal, taxation, science and education, industry, finance and other policy resources to support enterprise innovation.

  With the rapid ecological progress in technology and finance, China, the government-guided fund has played an important role in promoting scientific and technological innovation and promoting the structural reform of the financial supply side. By the third quarter of 2023, governments at all levels had set up 1,557 government guidance funds, with a management scale of nearly 3 trillion yuan. The investment field focused on cutting-edge technology, of which funds led by strategic emerging industries accounted for 50%, which played an increasingly prominent role in promoting scientific and technological progress and promoting regional development.

  3 to cope with the challenges facing the development of technology and finance.

  To do a good job of technology and finance’s great article needs to be rooted in the national conditions. We should not only understand the inherent characteristics of finance, but also grasp the development law of scientific and technological innovation, and rationally treat the difficulties and challenges faced by technology and finance in its development process.

  First of all, based on the current situation of China’s financial development, we must explore the road of high-quality development in technology and finance by promoting the mutual complement of direct financing and indirect financing, and uniting multi-channels to support scientific and technological innovation. China’s financing structure has been dominated by indirect financing for a long time, and credit assets account for more than half of the total financial assets. However, scientific and technological innovation, especially some frontier scientific and technological innovation projects, often involve a lot of investment, a long period of time and high risks, and there is great uncertainty in research and development results, so it is difficult for indirect financing to meet the demands of scientific and technological innovation enterprises for capital and financial risk management at the same time. Indirect financing takes creditors’ fixed interest income as economic incentive, and lacks innovative benefit sharing mechanism, and financial institutions providing indirect financial services also lack the motivation to share innovative risks. The intrinsic value of science and technology enterprises is more reflected in the intangible assets formed by innovation, such as technological advantages, patents, intellectual property rights, etc. It is more difficult to evaluate their assets, and they often do not have the conditions to obtain financing through mortgage loans of tangible assets. However, the financing demand for technology transformation is expanding rapidly, which will lead enterprises to face the problems of financing difficulties, expensive financing and slow financing.

  Secondly, the development of technology and finance not only needs financial institutions to closely contact professional scientific research institutions, but also needs the government to fill the weak links in the system from the aspects of rule of law, finance and taxation, scientific research, credit and talents, and improve the support and guarantee for the development of technology and finance. Financial services must weigh the benefits and risks, but technological innovation itself has great risks. Scientific and technological innovation not only faces a long innovation chain and transformation chain, but also faces the increasing change of science and technology, and the innovation results may be born behind. Moreover, the complexity of scientific and technological innovation leads to the prominent problem of information asymmetry between science and technology-based enterprises and financial institutions. It is often difficult for financial institutions and even government departments to effectively assess the technological risks of science and technology-based enterprises, and it is easy to cause institutional arbitrage due to information asymmetry, which ultimately affects the accuracy of technology and finance’s services.

  Finally, the development of technology and finance urgently needs to strengthen the overall planning and policy coordination, and the relevant regulatory authorities need to rationally and objectively look at and steadily promote the development of technology and finance. First, in recent years, the state has issued a series of policies to support scientific and technological innovation and the development of technology and finance, but the policy support system is not accurate enough, which leads to difficulties in policy implementation, which not only increases the burden of government expenditure, but also distorts reasonable innovation incentives. Second, when large-scale scientific and technological innovation enterprises become the service targets of the financial industry, the inherent R&D risks of scientific and technological innovation will also be transformed into financial risks. At the moment when the development trend of interdisciplinary and cross-border infiltration is more obvious, the scientific research organization model of division and governance cannot be rapidly transformed, which will also increase the backward risks of related scientific and technological innovations.

  4 Identify the path of action to promote the development of technology and finance.

  To effectively guide the financial industry to serve China’s scientific and technological innovation, we should not only co-ordinate the overall situation at home and abroad, make full use of the domestic and international markets and resources, but also co-ordinate the two major events of development and security, prevent the risks brought by technology and finance while promoting the high-quality development of technology and finance, and effectively identify the right path of action.

  First, improve relevant institutional mechanisms and establish a diversified technology and finance system. A perfect multi-level capital market is the market foundation for technology and finance’s high-quality development. We should further improve the listing and trading systems of GEM, science and technology innovation board and Beijiao Stock Exchange, as well as the listing and trading systems of the New Third Board and regional equity markets, so as to provide more financing channels for scientific and technological innovation enterprises. Guide and support all kinds of financial institutions to carry out technology and finance services, encourage financial institutions to innovate financial products and services, guide and support equity investment institutions to carry out scientific and technological investment business, meet the financing needs of different types of scientific and technological innovation at different stages, and provide more financial support for scientific and technological innovation enterprises. The government should increase the research and investment in scientific and technological innovation, keep up with the cutting-edge scientific and technological direction, and work with the market to screen out scientific and technological innovation tracks with technical and market potential. Increase the input of government guidance fund in a timely manner to improve its guidance effect and leverage. The healthy development of government-guided funds can not be separated from a perfect exit mechanism. We should design a reasonable income distribution scheme on the basis of improving investment decision-making ability to ensure that government-guided funds can achieve their own sustainable development while supporting scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading.

  Second, promote the deep integration of technological innovation and financial innovation, and realize the coordinated development of technology and finance. On the one hand, adapt to the financial needs of technological innovation and promote technological innovation with financial innovation. The financial system should provide all-round financial services for technological innovation, encourage traditional financial institutions to innovate financial products and services, and support financial institutions to cooperate with technological innovation enterprises to jointly develop innovative financial products and services. On the other hand, accelerate the financial sector to embrace cutting-edge technology and empower financial services with technological innovation. Financial institutions accelerate digital transformation and adopt advanced scientific and technological means, which can improve the efficiency of financial services and provide broader development space for scientific and technological innovation, and use financial and technological means such as data credit enhancement, corporate portrait and technical patent evaluation to broaden financing channels for scientific and technological enterprises.

  Third, enhance the support and guarantee capacity of technology and finance’s policies and improve the supporting system of technology and finance’s development. In terms of basic guarantee, the foundation of technology and finance’s high-quality development lies in the continuous improvement of relevant supporting infrastructure systems, including technology and finance information platform, science and technology patent database and technology and finance service platform, so as to provide necessary technical support and infrastructure guarantee for the development of technology and finance. Among them, the construction of technology and finance-related credit information system is the key. We should focus on establishing a perfect credit system in technology and finance, including the credit information publicity system of scientific and technological enterprises and the basic database of personal credit information, actively promote the sharing of credit information among financial institutions, credit reporting agencies and public institutions, break down the information barriers, and jointly provide more comprehensive and accurate credit information support for technology and finance. The government pays attention to providing a series of support policies, such as financial support, tax incentives and credit support, to increase the training and introduction of talents in technology and finance.

  Fourth, improve the level of risk management and supervision in technology and finance to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of technology and finance. First, strengthen the risk management capabilities of financial institutions. Financial institutions should not only adapt to the development trend of technology and finance, clarify the risk management objectives and strategies, strengthen risk identification, evaluation and control, and ensure that the business risks in technology and finance can be controlled, but also strengthen the monitoring and early warning of the business in technology and finance, so as to find and deal with potential risks in time and prevent the risk from spreading and spreading while accelerating the construction of the risk firewall system. Actively promote the application of scientific and technological innovation in risk management, empower the development of technology and finance with financial scientific and technological innovation, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of risk management. Secondly, increase support for science and technology insurance and guarantee, encourage and support insurance companies and guarantee institutions to carry out science and technology insurance and guarantee business, and provide risk protection for science and technology innovation enterprises. Finally, constantly improve the supervision system in technology and finance, establish supervision rules and standards suitable for the development of technology and finance, ensure the effectiveness and fairness of supervision, coordinate development and safety, and form a joint force of government guidance, market operation and social participation to jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of technology and finance.
