The old, middle-aged and young artists are on the same stage with the rising artists, which is full of joy and excitement. For the first time, the media and audience praised this year’s Lantern Festival party as "full of flavor and excitement" and "bringing the blood and affection of Chinese children around the world together".

  In this year’s CCTV Lantern Festival, the respected artists of the older generation and young literary rookies were on the same stage, including cross-border mashups and classic re-singing, which aroused the emotional resonance of audiences of different ages. The forms of "cross-border" and "mashup" inject freshness into the party and increase the joy of the whole party.

  The most fundamental method of literature and art is to take root in the people. Only by staying with the people forever can the tree of art be evergreen.

Wang Zhengliang and Phoenix Legend brought the song "The Direction of Home". The warm voice was exciting, wishing all families happiness and beauty. Sha Yi crossed the border and picked up the guitar, playing and singing.

Li Qin, Gina, Liu Haocun, Karry and Chen Linong (Taiwan Province, China) collaborated on "Let’s Go, Spring", pinning their hopes for a better future.

  A hundred flowers blossom. He Xinchun has a rich variety of arts.

The evening party made great efforts in the innovation and integration of programs, assembled fresh performance elements, and iteratively upgraded from the form to the content level, breaking through the sensory experience and conveying deep cultural charm.

  On the stage of peach blossom, Guo Donglin led the creative interpretation of the sitcom "Celebrating the New Year on the Spot". The actors effectively combined music with the stage play, showing the warm scene of celebrating the New Year on the spot. The acrobatic "Monument" impressed the audience with its grand epic texture. The actor was like a bronze statue of a stalwart, and the superb muscle control amazed the audience. Jane Lunting from Taiwan Province, China, brought the magic "Magic Carnival", which was unpredictable in a small square inch and presented a visual feast for the audience.

  Wan Li Yang Hechun has feet, and it’s the first month of the year. The martial arts "Air Rush Bull Fight" is wonderful, and the AR special effects are even more shocking, which means the good prospect of "Niu" turning to Gan Kun. "Selling glutinous rice balls" tells the traditional customs, and it is full of flavor. In the Spring Festival Evening, the little star robot cow once again "came out of the mountain" and sent out a good gift for the Lantern Festival, which amused the audience.

  It has always been the case to watch the Lantern Festival. The opera "Fragrant Pear Garden" continues the three-story theatrical design of the Spring Festival Evening, which integrates the schools of Mei, Shang, Cheng and Xun in Tsing Yi, the school of Qiu with a long face, the school of Ma of the old generation, the school of Li of the old generation, etc. Famous artists from the north and the south perform on the same stage, and even martial arts performances show their unique skills.

Cctv news(Reporter) Wang Xiaoying):On May 26th, Lanzhou Marathon Organizing Committee issued an announcement announcing that Lanzhou Marathon will be postponed in 2021.

According to the announcement, in view of factors such as the great pressure of the current epidemic prevention, in order to safeguard the health and life safety of the people, the organizing Committee has carefully studied and decided to postpone the "Sunac Lanzhou Bank Cup" 2021 Lanzhou Marathon originally scheduled for June 13, and the specific competition time will be notified after a comprehensive safety risk assessment according to the actual situation.

The Organizing Committee will reserve the qualification of all successful contestants, and the registration fee will be fully refunded through the original payment channel within one week after the announcement. The organizing Committee will actively assist and coordinate the refund of fees for contestants who have signed up by third parties or cooperation platforms.

According to the announcement, the contestants can submit relevant vouchers to the organizing Committee for compensation for the loss of cancellation fees such as transportation and accommodation caused by signing up for Lanma.

It is understood that Lanzhou International Marathon was founded in 2011.

Moon Jae in and Kim Jong-un are eating cold noodles, but the Korean economic tycoon is busy with this.

CCTV News:2018 is destined to be recorded in the history books of the two countries. After Kim Dae-jung, pyongyang sunan international airport once again welcomed the special plane of the South Korean President after 18 years. On the morning of September 18th, Moon Jae in arrived in Pyongyang and began a three-day visit to the DPRK.

In the face of the South Korean President’s visit, North Korea showed the greatest sincerity: Kim Jong-un, the top leader of North Korea, personally greeted him at the airport and hugged Moon Jae in. North Korea’s core high-level officials were all present: Jin Yongnan, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK, Cui Longhai, Vice Chairman of the Workers’ Party Central Committee, and Jin Yuzheng, Kim Jong-un’s sister and First Deputy Minister of the Workers’ Party Central Committee.

At noon on the 19th, after the second inter-Korean summit, Kim Jong-un invited South Korean President Moon Jae in and his wife and his entourage to dine at the Yuliu Pavilion on the Datong River in Pyongyang. Although the specific menu has not been announced, the representative dish of this restaurant — — Pyongyang is cold.

According to the official news released by South Korea, President Moon Jae in arrived in Pyongyang with a delegation of 66 people from South Korea’s political, business, academic and cultural circles. It is worth mentioning that the Korean government specially invited the heads of four major Korean groups to accompany him, including Lee Jae-yong, vice president of Samsung Electronics, Jin Ronghuan, vice president of Hyundai Motor Group, Cui Taiyuan, chairman of SK Group, and Ju Guangmo, president of LG Group.

Another focus of the meeting between the DPRK and the ROK leaders in Pyongyang is the economic cooperation between the ROK and the DPRK. CNN pointed out that in August, Moon Jae in put forward an ambitious plan aimed at upgrading and docking the economies of the two countries and allowing South Korea to build land routes with the Asian continent, thus opening up lucrative potential trade and infrastructure connections; These plans may eventually benefit Samsung and other large family businesses in South Korea. Some scholars also believe that South Korea took the initiative to bring the head of the chaebol to North Korea, which may be a good start for South Korean capital to enter Pyongyang. Therefore, although we can’t know the specific ranking of the Korean delegation when dining in the Yuliu Pavilion, it can be seen from the existing TV pictures that the heads of the four major Korean groups are sitting not far from Moon Jae in.

The person in the red circle is Lee Jae-yong, vice president of Samsung Electronics.

In addition, from the limited TV pictures, we can see a very interesting picture: when this famous dish — — When Pyongyang’s cold noodles were served on the table, almost everyone was feasting. Only Cui Taiyuan, the chairman of SK Group, was busy taking out his camera, putting it on his chest and shooting something at the table. It is estimated that the Korean economic giant could not put it down and wanted it to remain in his memory forever. Strangely, in an era when smart phones are so developed, the South Korean economic tycoon abandoned his mobile phone and took a digital camera with him? This is because the North Korean side has always had strict control over mobile phones. According to the requirements of the North Korean Customs, foreigners are not allowed to bring their mobile phones into the country, and they are required to store their mobile phones before leaving the country.

Foreign media commented that Moon Jae in’s visit to the DPRK with Lee Jae-yong and other business leaders further showed that the relationship between the Korean government and the largest company group was thawing.

Demystifying "Professional Eating": There is almost no threshold for intimidating merchants to refund their money.

  Combating "professional food eating" according to law requires multi-dimensional efforts.

  4,276 online orders and 3,896 malicious refunds were filed.

  ● The so-called "professional eating goods" means that some online shoppers take advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the online platform and ask merchants to "only refund and not return" to "eat goods", and some "eating goods" will take the opportunity to ask merchants for high compensation.

  ● "Professional eating goods" does not require much capital or much professional knowledge, and it is almost zero threshold. Nowadays, it has even developed a black and gray industrial chain that teaches the method of "eating goods" and sells personal information and makes false certificates.

  ● The accountability for "professional eating goods" should not stop in the civil field, but also start from criminal and administrative aspects. Relevant departments should strictly enforce the law in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and will never tolerate such malicious acts. Those that constitute criminal offences should be severely cracked down and the illegal idea of "professional eating" should be completely dispelled.

  □ Our reporter Zhang Wei

  In less than 4 months, 4,276 orders were placed on Taobao, and 3,896 malicious refund orders were filed, of which 3,787 were successfully refunded, with a total refund amount of more than 200,000 yuan — — Guangdong man Hongmou’s "appetite" is really not small. Recently, the Internet Court in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province ruled that Hongmou should bear tort liability and compensate the plaintiff Taobao for 1 yuan’s money and lawyer’s fees of 10,000 yuan.

  This is not the first time that "professional foodies" have stumbled. Not long ago, in the first case of "professional eating goods", which was widely concerned by the media, Hunan woman Zhou placed 633 orders in more than one month and applied for 624 refunds, but refused to return them. This behavior was recognized by the court as destroying the shopping ecological environment, disturbing the social and economic order and damaging the public interest.

  The "Legal Daily" reporter learned that Taobao recently sued a number of "professional foodies" claims.

  Many experts said in an interview with the reporter of Legal Daily that 1 yuan’s money compensation is symbolic. The court ruled that the defendant abused members’ rights, and defined the above-mentioned "refund without return" as a malicious act "not needed for daily consumption", which is a manifestation of the rule of law of the platform and is of great significance for building a good online business environment.

  At the same time, the accountability for "professional eating goods" should not stop in the civil field. The experts interviewed believe that we can also start from criminal and administrative aspects. The relevant departments should strictly enforce the law in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and will never tolerate such malicious acts. Those that constitute criminal offences should be severely cracked down to completely dispel the illegal idea of "professional eating goods".

  Black ash industrial chain has been formed.

  Threaten a refund but don’t return it

  Like Zhou in the first case of "professional eating goods", Hongmou frequently placed orders and returned them online, and then just filled in a false logistics number. In fact, the "returned" goods will never reach the merchants.

  Hongmou and Zhou represent the rise of a "new profession", that is, "professional eating goods". The so-called "professional eating goods" means that some online shoppers take advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the online platform and ask merchants to "only refund and not return" to "eat goods", and some "eating goods" will take the opportunity to ask merchants for high compensation.

  "88 yuan takes the introductory course, and returns the book once", "Eat food and find me", "Go and help me type the link, and come back to find the owner to get the red envelope" and "Can this goods get on the bus" … … Conversations like this are the "jargon" between "professional foodies".

  "Professional eating goods" does not require much capital or much professional knowledge, which is almost zero threshold. Nowadays, it has even developed a black and gray industrial chain that teaches the method of "eating goods" and sells personal information and makes false certificates. There are a lot of post-90 s and post-00 s "foodies" groups. Both Zhou in the first case of "professional foodies" and Hongmou in the second case are born in 1999. A large part of the "professional foodies" are students after 00.

  Their methods are exactly the same. After receiving the goods sent by the merchants, they apply for "refund only", "intimidate" the merchants to refund for various reasons, and eat the goods themselves. These are the "food-eating" skills they have learned from the relevant QQ "food-eating" groups.

  Why is "professional eating goods" handy? In fact, "professional eating goods" relies on the rules that are beneficial to buyers based on the principle of good faith and set by Internet platforms such as e-commerce and take-away. Unfortunately, this provision of protecting consumers’ rights and interests in good faith has been used by "professional foodies" in practice.

  "The lifeline of Taobao is to provide a good guarantee for consumer rights. After more than ten years of development, Taobao and sellers have jointly built a consumer protection system, mainly to build consumers’ confidence in online shopping. " Taobao said in the indictment.

  Taobao believes that trying to obtain illegal benefits by various means for the purpose of returning goods not only makes the seller lose the payment, but more importantly hurts the trust between the seller and the consumer. At the same time, it also destroyed the honest, fair and healthy shopping ecological environment painstakingly built and maintained by Taobao, interfered with the normal operation of Taobao, and infringed on the management rights enjoyed by Taobao on the platform.

  Accused of abusing membership rights

  The court found that the infringement was established

  Taobao’s prosecution is not only for itself, but also for the operators of the platform. Yang Yang (a pseudonym), a businessman who once encountered "professional eating goods", said: "Taobao is doing this for our small sellers. After my question was fed back to the platform, the second one who received us has been looking for various departments to coordinate this matter."

  In the platform autonomy rules, we can also see Taobao’s vigilance against such behaviors as "professional eating", such as the rights of registered members and the rules for determining whether the relevant behaviors are malicious. The Taobao Platform Service Agreement clearly stipulates that consumers’ purchase behavior "should be based on real consumer demand" and "there must be no malicious purchase of goods/services, malicious rights protection and other behaviors that disrupt the normal trading order of Taobao platform".

  For the abuse of members’ rights, the Regulation on Market Management and Violation of Taobao is defined as "the behavior that members abuse and maliciously use the rights granted by Taobao to harm the legitimate rights and interests of others and hinder the operation order of Taobao platform". Among them, the lack of willingness to trade, malicious use of the convenience of the refund process to achieve other profit-making purposes, and abnormal frequent refunds after purchasing goods, affecting the normal trading order "belong to the abuse of membership rights.

  In addition, Taobao also provides measures to deal with the abuse of members’ rights, such as blocking abnormal orders, restricting complaints, blocking comments, restricting members’ login, and sealing up accounts.

  In the above two cases, Taobao believes that the malicious refund behavior of Hongmou and Zhou belongs to the abuse of member rights, which seriously violates the service agreement, interferes with the operation order of Taobao platform, and has caused serious negative impact on Taobao’s economy and goodwill. Therefore, it filed a network tort liability lawsuit with the court, demanding that Hongmou and Zhou compensate for the losses.

  After trial, Hangzhou Internet Court held that the specific data reflected in the evidence was enough to show that the defendant’s application for refund only obviously did not conform to ordinary people’s shopping habits, and the reasons for refund were repetitive and single, which was enough to be defined as abusing the rights of Taobao platform members, damaging the reputation of Taobao sellers who operated honestly and legally, interfering with the normal operation order of Taobao, and making Taobao spend more human and material resources to deal with the defendant’s false complaints, causing actual losses to Taobao, and directly destroying Taobao and the whole society’s joint advocacy and efforts to build it. The defendant’s fault behavior violated the civil rights and interests of Taobao and should bear the tort liability.

  After Hongmou was sued, he never appeared. Because it could not be served by ordinary means, the court served the litigation documents to it in accordance with the law. During the trial, Hongmou was legally summoned by the court and refused to appear in court without justifiable reasons. In the end, the court tried in absentia according to law, and sentenced Hongmou to compensate Taobao for its economic loss 1 yuan and attorney’s fees of 10,000 yuan.

  Create a fair and honest environment

  Completely dispel the idea of eating goods

  Gao Yandong, director of the Internet Law Research Center of Guanghua Law School of Zhejiang University, believes that Taobao’s claim for 1 yuan’s money may be only symbolic in terms of the amount, but in the judgment, the court found that the defendant abused the member’s rights and defined the above-mentioned "food-eating" behavior of refunding without returning goods as a malicious act not required for daily consumption, which is a manifestation of the legalization of platform rules.

  "The platform strictly follows the corresponding laws, regulations and other norms when formulating rules, and the written rules are legitimate in form. At the same time, the relevant rules timely extract and define important keywords in the content setting, respond to the latest platform management issues, conform to the needs of current platform construction, help to effectively solve the new network crimes, help to carry out judicial practice, and provide reference for court trials. " Gao Yandong said.

  According to Liu Jiahui, a member of the lawyers’ group of China Consumers Association and the executive director of the Beijing Society for the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests, the court’s decision plays an important role in maintaining an honest, fair and healthy online shopping ecological environment. Although the compensation for 1 yuan’s money is only a symbolic punishment, the normative significance of the judicial decision is even more crucial. The purpose of Taobao’s prosecution is for a fair and honest platform order and a good business environment, which embodies the public welfare value of supporting millions of businesses.

  Gao Yandong believes that the case of "professional eating goods" will have good social effects: first, it can make many businesses trapped by such malicious acts get rid of the passive situation, reduce the direct losses caused by malicious acts such as "professional eating goods", and also reduce the indirect losses caused by the loss of customers; Second, it can make consumers come into contact with more real evaluation, fully understand the goods, and thus buy more favorite goods; Third, it can make the platform avoid being involved in too much energy by such false complaints, so as to better manage and provide users with better services; Fourth, it can stabilize the market economic order, promote the smooth operation of online shopping mode and maintain a good network ecological environment.

  Gao Yandong suggested that the accountability for "professional food eating" should not stop there, but should also be attacked from more dimensions. Criminally, when the fictional goods of "professional eating goods" have quality problems and other facts, they only apply for a refund but don’t return it, and the refund amount reaches the legal amount involved in the crime, which can be considered as fraud; When "professional eating goods" threatens to give bad reviews, forcing merchants to give up recovering goods or even ask for compensation from merchants, and it reaches the legal amount, it can be considered as extortion; When "professional eating goods" gives false bad reviews, which damages the reputation of businesses and commodities, and it is in line with the provisions on the standards for the prosecution of economic crimes that "the amount of direct economic losses caused to others is more than 500,000 yuan" or "seriously hinders the normal production and business activities of others or leads to suspension of production or bankruptcy" and "causes adverse effects", it can be considered as a crime of damaging business reputation and commodity reputation.

  Administratively, with the implementation of the Interim Measures for Handling Complaints and Reports in Market Supervision and Management on January 1, 2020, such malicious acts will not be recognized as "purchasing for daily consumption", and malicious complaints will not be accepted by market supervision and management departments. "The relevant departments should strictly enforce the law in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and will never tolerate such malicious acts and completely dispel them ‘ Professional eating ’ Illegal thoughts. " Gao Yandong said.

  Going home for the New Year is Chinese’s greatest expectation. When hundreds of millions of people embark on the journey home, reunite with their families and enjoy their family happiness, some people choose to stick to their jobs to achieve the reunion of thousands of families. During the Spring Festival, in addition to the joy of the New Year, the topic of "sticking to your post and not going home" has also become the focus of netizens’ attention. Netizens paid tribute to grassroots workers who worked overtime during the Spring Festival and China soldiers who stuck to their posts, and shared their stories of "staying behind" during the Spring Festival.

  Wan Li has not returned home at the end of the year.

  Recently, novel coronavirus’s pneumonia epidemic occurred in many areas such as Wuhan City, Hubei Province, which touched the hearts of netizens. Many medical workers are busy in the front line to help control the epidemic.

  On January 22nd, People’s Daily published an article on WeChat in WeChat official account, revealing that Zhong Nanshan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, still rushed to the forefront of epidemic prevention without hesitation after giving the advice of "Don’t go to Wuhan without special circumstances". The article also quoted a picture sent by the netizen "Dr. Blueberry" in the Weibo. It turns out that the second batch of people who volunteered to apply for the treatment of novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia in tongji hospital were also full. Volunteers wrote "no pay, no matter life or death", which moved netizens.

  Netizen "enthusiastic citizen Mr. Lu" said: "Zhong Lao is over 80 years old and still goes to the front line day and night. I really admire and respect him." Netizen "Little Sister Paper" said that after hearing these stories, her face was full of tears. She said: "Being in Wuhan, I feel more real. I pay tribute to the medical staff who work in the front line and pay tribute to all the people who have paid silently."

  The "Guardian of Spring Festival travel rush", who sticks to the railway job and escorts people’s journey, has also attracted the attention of netizens. On January 20th, the client of Xinhua News Agency released the video "One Man’s Spring Festival travel rush", telling the story of Wang Zuguo, the driver of Nanjing Locomotive Depot of Shanghai Railway Bureau Group. Wang Zuguo’s work requires a person to drive the first dynamic inspection train. His Spring Festival travel rush is lonely, but he said, "We are very happy to see that passengers can get home safely and reunite with their families."

  Like Wang Zuguo, countless railway workers, such as train drivers, flight attendants, maintenance workers, dispatchers, cleaners and armed police officers and soldiers, stood by silently in Spring Festival travel rush, and netizens expressed their admiration and gratitude for their hard work.

  Netizen "comma is not a period" said: "Every year when I go home by train during the Chinese New Year holiday, I can feel the enthusiasm of railway workers who stick to their posts. In order to let the people go home safely on time, they give up their small homes for everyone and praise them!" "Tayleous", a netizen on his way home, said, "I am sitting on the bullet train, and I also send my thanks!" The netizen "Let me see" indicates that he is also one of the "guardians of Spring Festival travel rush". He said: "I think it’s worth it to be able to send so many people home and be in the post on New Year’s Eve!"

  The police maintain order to ensure safety, sanitation workers keep the streets clean and tidy, and fire officers and soldiers prepare for emergency rescue … In order to make more people live a "happy year", there are still many people who are quietly paying behind the scenes. Weibo, the official of CCTV News, launched the activity of "Spring Festival, Say Thank You to those who stick to their posts" on January 20th. The netizen "Moon Cake" left a message: "Thank you, thank them, thank everyone who sticks to their posts during the holidays!" Netizen "My Little Recorder" said: "I was standing guard on New Year’s Eve last year, and there will be others this year to pay tribute to them!"

  The soldiers were not saddled at the reunion of thousands of families.

  "When the family was reunited, the soldiers did not get off the saddle." From the coast of the East China Sea to the plateau desert, from the alpine islands to the northern frontier, the officers and men of the PLA and the Armed Police Force stick to their positions, insist on training and preparing for war, safeguard the peace of the motherland and protect the people’s safety.

  "This year is the seventh year I spent in the computer room", "Now I am on an escort mission, and I won’t go home for the New Year this year" and "I can’t go home this year because of the logistics support mission" … On January 18th, Weibo, the official CCTV Military, released a video, in which a number of soldiers on duty during the Spring Festival told their reasons for not going home and poured out their worries about their relatives and friends. They are in the army computer room, escorting trains, and in the frontier countries, giving up their families for everyone. The topic of "China soldiers who don’t go home during the Chinese New Year" was subsequently posted on the hot search list in Weibo, and netizens paid tribute to it. Netizen "I am a classmate of Zhou Ting" commented: "It is precisely because of these people who don’t go home that we can go home safely for the New Year and pay tribute to them."

  On January 19th, People’s Daily WeChat WeChat official account published an article "Sorry, I can’t go home this Spring Festival" to pay tribute to the China soldiers who didn’t go home. For China soldiers, when disaster comes, they are synonymous with hope; When encountering difficulties, they are synonymous with selflessness; When in danger, their pronoun is courage; On the occasion of the Spring Festival reunion, their pronoun is "willing". "A family is not round, and the heart is safe when it is round." Netizen "A Xing" was deeply moved after reading it. He recalled that he spent the first year as a soldier at the sentry post for the New Year. He was the first sentry post in the Spring Festival that year, and he was on duty at the railway station the next year, escorting a passenger who went home.

  Netizens are also very curious, how do China soldiers who don’t go home celebrate the New Year? In addition to duty and training, the new year in the camp is also lively. In the video released by Weibo, the official of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Rocket Army, some are arranging the Spring Festival Gala for the troops, and some are writing the word "Fu" together to share the joy of the New Year.

  Zhou Peiying, a recruit who just finished the 3-kilometer examination in the video, gasped that he had successfully lost 10 kilograms since he joined the army. Netizen "Porter Min Min" joked: "Have they all turned into hard muscles!" He also said that he also wants to "run three kilometers." Netizen "L Sissi" sent a message to the soldiers who were on duty during the Spring Festival: "I wish you and your families who support your work a happy and healthy New Year!"

  I can’t go home, but I have concerns in my heart. Weibo, the official CCTV News, released a video on January 18th, in which family members of border guards sent New Year greetings. In the video, the twin daughters of the military doctor Zheng Zongzhao sang "Listen to me and thank you", and the lovely sign language "sprouted" netizens. Netizen "Daren Lun Fang" left a message: "What a lovely pair of little angels, your father, in order to let 1.4 billion people live a safe and happy year, still stick to the bitter and cold land, soldier brother is the star we should chase most!"

  I work overtime during the Spring Festival, and netizens send blessings.

  On major online platforms, netizens also shared their stories of not going home for the New Year.

  There is only one reason for going home during the Spring Festival, but there are many reasons for not going home. In a video posted by Weibo account "InfoQ", Internet users who are still working in the New Year share their reasons for not going home during the New Year. Some of them are to ensure that everyone can participate in the cooperation activities between the Spring Festival Evening and the e-commerce platform more smoothly when they are reunited with their families, while others are because the company’s operation activities require people on the service side to stay. There is a girl who is a front-end development engineer. She is homesick when she is alone in Beijing for the New Year, and she also plans to go home to see her parents during the holiday after the New Year.

  Under this Weibo, the netizen "Binary Tree Video", who is also an Internet practitioner, deeply resonates. He said: "I like you when I see tears!" The comment of the netizen "Robot_Heart" is simple and poked: "Happy and happy, less hair loss." Some people also left messages to write down their New Year’s wishes. The netizen "loser who loves to cook chicken soup" expressed the hope that he would become a better Internet practitioner in the new year.

  When children spend the New Year outside, parents at home naturally can’t let go. Xiaoli, who was studying in Shenyang University, couldn’t go home for the Spring Festival because of her internship, so her mother in Shandong sent 666 yuan "Bao jiaozi Package", which included a rolling pin, thin noodles, three fresh fillings and so on, and attached a "Bao jiaozi Tutorial". Netizen "Lentil _59" called the step diagram of Bao jiaozi drawn by this mother "so cute" and called this mother "hardcore mother".

  On Sina Weibo platform, the topic "What is the experience of not going home for the New Year" has been discussed for more than 8,000 times. Many users on Tik Tok also shared short videos of not going home for the New Year, which was full of excitement and joy.

Roy apologizes for smoking in restaurants. Reporters visited some restaurants to persuade smoking records to be displayed

Yesterday, it was reported on the Internet that Roy, an artist, was smoking in a Japanese restaurant in Gongti during a recent dinner. Yesterday afternoon, Roy publicly apologized for this matter in Weibo, saying that he "made a wrong demonstration" and "will bear the corresponding responsibilities and accept the punishment".

Yesterday afternoon, Beijing Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute inspected the restaurant "Tong Sushi" and found that the restaurant did not have a no-smoking sign and no corresponding no-smoking management system. It ordered the restaurant to make corrections within a time limit and will punish Roy.

Yesterday afternoon, the law enforcement officers of Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute went to Roy’s smoking restaurant for inspection and asked the person in charge of the restaurant.

Roy apologized for being accused of smoking in the restaurant.

Yesterday morning, Sohu Entertainment announced in the official Weibo that Roy and other artists were gathering in a Japanese restaurant in Gongti. "Roy smokes frequently, and the gathering atmosphere is super happy." Following the news, there are several close-ups of smoking in Roy.

It is reported that Roy, one of the three members of TFBOYS, a well-known male singing group in China, has a very high popularity and just turned 18 last November. So as soon as the news came out, the public quickly turned their attention to "smoking in Roy". Zhang Jianshu, president of Beijing Tobacco Control Association, said that Roy violated Beijing tobacco control regulations, and public figures should pay attention to the social impact. He hoped that Roy would apologize publicly.

At the same time, many netizens pointed out that the Japanese restaurant was "Tong Sushi", and some netizens said that "Roy’s smoking posture is quite skillful" and accused Roy of smoking in public places, which was suspected of violating the Beijing Regulations on Smoking Control.

At 2: 44 pm yesterday, Roy publicly apologized for this incident at the Weibo, saying, "This incident made me deeply reflect on my behavior, and I feel very sorry and guilty about the adverse social impact I caused. I am sorry that I made a wrong demonstration, and I will bear the corresponding responsibilities and accept the punishment. As a public figure, I will definitely pay more attention to my words and deeds in the future. I hope that everyone will not follow my wrong behavior. "

After the inspection, Chaoyang District Health Supervision Office issued a health administrative law enforcement document, which was signed by the person in charge of the store for confirmation. Beijing News reporter Zhou’s photo    

Chaoyang Health Supervision Institute ordered the restaurant to be rectified, which will punish Roy.

Beijing Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute also gave feedback on the issue of "smoking in public places in Roy" in the official Weibo, saying that if it is true, it will be punished according to law.

Subsequently, the Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute conducted a law enforcement inspection on "Tong Sushi" located near the Workers’ Gymnasium. On-site inspection by law enforcement officers found that there was no sign of no smoking in the restaurant, and there was no corresponding no smoking management system, which violated the relevant requirements. Chaoyang District Health Supervision Office ordered the restaurant to make corrections within a time limit, and if there are still problems during the rectification period, it will be dealt with according to law.

A front-line health supervisor of Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute told the reporter that the investigation will be conducted in combination with video materials and the store’s statement. If the waiter finds out but does not dissuade him, the restaurant will face a fine of 5,000-10,000 yuan. For Roy himself, if he stops smoking after smoking, he will be fined 50 yuan. If he does not listen to dissuasion, he will be fined 200 yuan. "It is difficult to find the responsible person for smoking in public places. As a public figure, Roy himself or his company should take the initiative to come to the office.

The Regulations of Beijing Municipality on the Control of Smoking stipulates that smoking is prohibited in public places, indoor areas of workplaces and public transport. In response to this matter, Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute called on all industries to act positively, fulfill their duties of tobacco control, actively support tobacco control work, reduce the harm of smoking, and jointly safeguard a healthy Beijing.

■ follow-up visit

The restaurant involved admitted that Roy did not see his smoking when he was eating.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter went to the restaurant "Tong Sushi" and needed to open two induction doors to enter the formal dining area. Except for a public dining bar in the hall, the rest were private rooms with good privacy. The waiter in the store said that there will be different chefs offering different menus every day, so there is no fixed menu, and per capita consumption depends on individual ordering.

Manager Peng Xiaojuan said that on the day of the incident, Roy and his party entered the restaurant wearing masks. A waiter told reporters that Roy and his party were dining in the "Xinnong" private room of the restaurant. There is a floor-to-ceiling glass door in the "Xinnong" private room, and there is a small terrace outside, where guests can smoke. But the reporter didn’t see the no-smoking sign in the private room.

Another waiter told the reporter that the waiter will not enter the private room without authorization except for delivering food. There is a pager in the private room. If the guest needs it, the waiter can enter only after ringing the bell. She also said that if they saw guests smoking, they would discourage them, but when they went in to deliver food that day, they didn’t see Roy or anyone else smoking.

Regarding why Roy’s smoking behavior was not discouraged at the time of the incident, Peng Xiaojuan, the manager of the restaurant, said that there was only monitoring around the public dining area and corridor in the store, and there was a blind spot because there was no camera installed in the private room for privacy, so it was not discovered in time and discouraged.

No-smoking signs will be posted in the restaurants involved to discourage smokers.

Peng Xiaojuan, the store manager, said that no smoking sign was posted in the store because of the aesthetic consideration of decoration. The staff in the store will remind the indoor public places that smoking is not suitable when consumers ask for "an ashtray". If consumers have started smoking, they will also persuade them, "A strong desire to smoke will make guests go to the terrace or smoke outside."

"Such news in the restaurant has dealt a great blow to our image." Peng Xiaojuan said that at present, the scores of restaurants on various food review platforms are declining. "Even if it was originally five stars, it will be changed to one star." Many people called the restaurant. "I didn’t expect the restaurant to appear in front of everyone with such an image."

Peng Xiaojuan said that they will post a no-smoking sign in the restaurant in the near future, and at the same time ask the waiter to be more firm and tough in the face of smokers. "If the guest doesn’t listen to dissuasion, we will ask him to leave the restaurant, preferring not to have this guest."

The public found someone smoking in the no-smoking area, reporting method: call 12320; Complain through "Smoke-free Beijing" WeChat WeChat official account

"Smoking in restaurants in Roy" has once again aroused public concern about smoking ban in public places. The Regulations on the Control of Smoking in Beijing, which came into effect on June 1, 2015, clearly stipulates that smoking is prohibited in public places, indoor environments in workplaces, outdoor queues and other occasions.

The regulations have been in force for nearly four years. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited a number of restaurants, including fast food restaurants and high-end restaurants with good privacy. Almost all of these restaurants have no smoking signs, but the attitudes of shop assistants to dissuade smokers are different. Some shops are persistent in persuasion, and some shops say that they will give up after two or three times of persuasion, "fearing conflicts."

In addition, the Beijing News reporter also visited Beijing Railway Station, and found that despite the strong control, smokers always have all kinds of "clever tricks" to avoid inspection, cigarette butts can be seen everywhere, and it is difficult for sanitation workers to clean up.

Some restaurants explicitly prohibit smoking and will discourage smokers when they see them.

Liu Ji Yang Tang, a fast food restaurant on Huawei Road, posted a no-smoking sign on the wall next to the door and indoors. The reporter did not see any smokers in the store. The staff in the store said that few people smoke in restaurants. When they see consumers smoking, they will dissuade them and say, "We can’t smoke here. If you smoke, go out and smoke."

There are striking "No Smoking" signs outside the door, on the wall and in the buffet area of a high-end restaurant on Huawei Road, indicating "Call 12320 for reporting complaints". Wei Yanchun, the foreman, said that he started working in the restaurant in 2016, when the logo was installed in the restaurant.

Wei Yanchun introduced that there is a smoking area outside the restaurant, and the restaurant staff will also remind guests not to smoke. If they smoke, they are advised to go to the smoking area outside. Smoking occurred in restaurants before, but after being reminded, consumers were more cooperative. Wei Yanchun said that if guests find someone smoking, they can report it to the restaurant staff.

"Nalan Restaurant" also has a no-smoking sign. Restaurant manager Deng Lijin said that she came to work in the restaurant last November. Compared with when she first came, she felt that the frequency of discouraging consumers from smoking was much lower now. If the staff sees consumers smoking, they will dissuade them for a while, and then invite them to smoke in the smoking area. If they don’t listen to dissuasion, they will put out the cigarettes directly. Deng Lijin said that consumers are still relatively cooperative, but whenever they want to smoke, they will take the initiative to ask where they can smoke.

It is difficult for guests to persuade them to smoke after drinking, and some of them are recorded as furnishings.

Last night, the reporter went to a home-cooked dish on Panjiayuan Road, and there was a no smoking sign in the store. Manager Wang said that the restaurant opened in 2017, and there was no awareness of smoking ban in the first two months. When the relevant units came to the store for inspection, they were criticized and educated. "The person in charge of the store was called to educate it again." Since then, the smoking ban in the store has been strictly enforced. Whenever we see a guest smoking, the service staff will stand aside to dissuade him. "If we don’t listen to the advice after drinking, we will take the smoking cessation jar and put some water in it and stand beside him until he goes out. Some people really can’t persuade, but it is also a minority."

Manager Wang also produced a notebook to record smoking advice, which recorded in detail the time, table, times of smoking in the guest’s shop, dissuading personnel and whether it was effective according to the month. The latest one was at 18: 39 on May 20th, at Table 8. The guest smoked twice, but the dissuasion was ineffective.

When the Beijing News reporter interviewed, it happened that a man in the store lit a cigarette. The waiter immediately went over to dissuade him, and then the man put out the cigarette.

In a roast duck restaurant, the reporter saw a table of guests drinking white wine, and four or five people were chatting while smoking cigarettes. The reporter then reported to the restaurant staff and dissuaded the other party from putting out the cigarettes. A cashier at the bar told reporters that smoking is not allowed in the store, and guests will be discouraged if they smoke, but it is basically ineffective. "As long as I drank the wine, I really couldn’t persuade. If I advised it for two or three times, I wouldn’t persuade it. I was afraid of a conflict with the guests and didn’t complain to the relevant departments for the business in the store."

The cashier found a record of tobacco persuasion, the first page of which was the Regulations on Tobacco Control Management System, which clearly stated that no smoking equipment, signs and articles with tobacco advertisements were placed in the business scope, and all the staff in the store had the obligation and responsibility to conduct inspections. If smokers were found, they must be dissuaded in time. However, the tobacco control inspection record form is blank. "The inspectors came to check and write in the first two months, but they didn’t check in these two months, so they didn’t write, and they will record it when they come," the cashier admitted. If the relevant departments come to check at this moment, "it’s over."

Smoking in the passenger bathroom of Beijing Railway Station

At 17 o’clock yesterday, the Beijing News reporter didn’t see any no-smoking signs on the Beijing Railway Station Square. Passengers waiting to enter the station held cigarettes between their fingers and put them in their mouths from time to time. Although there are trash cans in the square, some passengers still throw cigarette butts on the ground.

In the square, sanitation workers walk back and forth to clean cigarette butts or garbage. A number of sanitation workers told reporters that they work 8 hours a day, and the most work they do is to clean up cigarette butts on the ground.

The reporter saw that a garbage truck of a sanitation worker contained garbage such as ice cream bags and toilet paper, among which cigarette butts were the most obvious.

In the waiting room of Beijing Railway Station, the announcement of no smoking was broadcast circularly, and many walls were affixed with no smoking signs, and staff members wore red armbands with the words "no smoking propagandists" to patrol back and forth in the waiting room, but reporters still saw cigarette butts in many trash cans in the station. At about 18 o’clock, there were male passengers smoking in the bathroom on the first floor of the waiting room. When asked if he knew that smoking was prohibited in the station, the man said that he knew that smoking was prohibited in the station, so he hid in the bathroom and secretly smoked a few mouthfuls. "There is no way to get addicted to cigarettes."

According to the staff in the station, the number of passengers smoking in the waiting room has decreased. Now when I see someone smoking, I will stop it. "Most of them are persuaded, and some passengers don’t listen at all."

Beijing News reporter Zhang Tong Zhou Shiling Dai Xuan Liu Mingyang

Sales continued to decline, and the stock price dropped by as much as 36%. What is Xpeng Motors’s "antidote"?

The year 2024 has just begun, and Xpeng Motors is a bit "difficult".

In the delivery list in January, Xpeng Motors achieved a sales volume of 8,250 vehicles, down 59% month-on-month, which was the biggest drop among the new car-making forces. In February, sales in Xpeng Motors continued to decline, and only 4,545 new cars were delivered in February.

For the reason of the sales slump in February, He Xiaopeng attributed the reason to the production capacity of the new car X9. He said, "Due to too many orders, the production capacity has not kept up. In January, Tucki accumulated tens of thousands of orders for X9. At present, the difficulties faced by X9 have been solved, and the Spring Festival will fully work overtime to quickly improve the production capacity guarantee delivery."

In other words, the decline in sales is only temporary, and sales will gradually pick up in the future.

Although He Xiaopeng is still optimistic about the future of Xpeng Motors, the capital market does not see it this way. According to Kan Jian Finance, since 2024, Xpeng Motors’s share price has been falling continuously. As of the close of March 5, Xpeng Motors’s Hong Kong stock market closed at HK$ 35.95 per share. Although it has rebounded recently, its share price fell by as much as 36% in 2024.

Why did Xpeng Motors’s share price plummet by 36% in more than a month, and its performance was so bleak? In addition to the reason for the sharp drop in sales, what is the capital market still worried about?

Tucki’s "sleepy"

Xpeng Motors’s sales volume in January really fell far short of expectations.

According to official data, Tucki X9 delivered 2,478 vehicles in the first month, and the total sales of the remaining models were only 5,772 vehicles, including the main models-P7I and G6.

Of course, the production capacity of the new car X9 may have some problems, but the core of the problem at present is that even if the production capacity of the X9 can keep up, the sales volume in Xpeng Motors will not change much. After all, before the X9 was listed, the sales volume in Xpeng Motors could still exceed 10,000, but now after the new car is listed, the sales volume can’t even reach 10,000.

At present, it’s not easy for Xpeng Motors to increase sales again. After all, Xpeng Motors has been reducing prices and promoting sales since last December. According to media reports, Xpeng Motors has started several rounds of price cuts since December. For example, in early December, the maximum discount for all models of Tucki P7i was 26,000 yuan, and the maximum discount for Tucki G9, which was listed less than three months ago, was 19,000 yuan. In mid-December, Xpeng Motors announced that all G6 departments in Tucki would continue to reduce or exempt 10,000 yuan in a limited time. In January of this year, Xpeng Motors even announced that it would purchase the P7i Pengyi Performance Edition, and enjoy a limited-time subsidy of 50,000 yuan.

So many rounds of price cuts can’t move Xpeng Motors’s sales, which shows how much pressure Xpeng Motors is under now. This may also explain why Xpeng Motors’s share price performance has been so poor recently.

In fact, such a large-scale and continuous price reduction has brought many hidden dangers to Xpeng Motors’s performance. After all, Xpeng Motors is still at a loss.

According to the financial report, as of the third quarter of last year, the accumulated net profit of Xpeng Motors was-9.028 billion, the gross profit margin of the company as a whole was -2.7%, and the gross profit margin of the automobile business was -6.1%, which shows that Xpeng Motors is still in a situation of "selling one car and losing another". According to the recent price reduction, Xpeng Motors’s losses will further expand in the fourth quarter.

However, in order to stabilize sales, Xpeng Motors has neglected so much. According to media reports, since February, Xpeng Motors has launched a new round of price reduction promotion.

According to media reports, from February 1, 2024 to February 29, 2024, the 2024 Tucki G9 will receive a maximum of 10,000 yuan in cash during the Spring Festival, and a maximum of 11,000 yuan in limited-time optional discount, starting from 253,900 yuan for the whole department. At present, the official normal guide price of the 2024 Tucki G9 is 263,900-359,900 yuan.

However, the "drug effect" of price reduction tends to be smaller and smaller, and it can be predicted that the price reduction of ——G9 will have very limited sales promotion effect in Xpeng Motors.

How does Tucki "break through"?

For Xpeng Motors, the decline in sales is not the biggest problem. What is more serious is that its moat is becoming more and more fragile.

Previously, Kan Jian Finance had repeatedly analyzed Xpeng Motors, a car company. Among the three new forces, Xpeng Motors has the strongest scientific and technological attribute, and Xpeng Motors also wants to build its own scientific and technological moat. According to the financial report, in the past five years, Xpeng Motors’s R&D expenditure was about 15 billion, and it was this huge R&D expenditure that led to its losses year after year.

About two years ago, when the new energy vehicle market was still in the state of automation transformation, Xpeng Motors succeeded in creating scientific and technological attributes by virtue of its first-Mover advantage. However, with the competition of new energy vehicles entering the second half, more and more car companies are now making intelligent transformation, and the advantages of Xpeng Motors are becoming less and less obvious, especially with Huawei’s massive entry into the new energy vehicle market.

As far as the most important intelligent driving technology is concerned, Huawei has a tendency to surpass Tucki from three aspects: algorithm, computing power and data.

In terms of algorithm, Xpeng Motors chose NVIDIA Drive series chips and developed operators in software development, but Huawei is a self-developed chip, and only Huawei in China has realized mass production using network algorithms; In terms of computing power, Huawei’s current computing power on autopilot training is 1800P, which is three times that of Xpeng Motors’s 600P. From the data point of view, it is in sharp contrast to the sharp drop in sales in Xpeng Motors-Huawei’s world, with better intelligent software and hardware, became the new force "sales champion" in January. Obviously, in the field of intelligence, the world of inquiry has replaced Xpeng Motors’s former position, and with the growth of Huawei, when more and more car companies begin to use Huawei’s technology, Xpeng Motors’s future will become more and more difficult.

Of course, for the road of intelligence, although more and more strong enemies have emerged, Xpeng Motors obviously does not intend to give up. During the launch conference of Xpeng Motors Spring Festival, He Xiaopeng set a new timetable for NGP intelligent assisted driving: in 2024, the "full range" and "point-to-point" XNGP will be promoted in China, including scenes such as paths, internal roads and parking lots; Promote worldwide research and development of XNGP this year and next-research and development of high-speed NGP worldwide in 2024 and XNGP worldwide in 2025, which shows that Xpeng Motors will continue to invest in research and development in the future.

At present, in the face of increasingly fierce competition in the new energy vehicle market, there is not much Xpeng Motors can do but insist. But can Xpeng Motors really "survive" in the face of Huawei, a powerful competitor who has achieved good results in intelligence?

A-share listed company Leo shares indirectly invested 320 million in Space X, and the funds were returned.

(Guanwang Finance Wang Muju) As an A-share listed company, Leo (002131.SZ) invested 50 million US dollars (about 320 million yuan) in Space X owned by Musk, but it was unexpectedly returned. Not only did the "dream of heaven" fail to come true, but the performance of Leo shares itself could not satisfy the shareholders: the net loss in the first three quarters was 88.5706 million yuan.

After the "embarrassing thing" that the investment was returned, Leo shares once fell to the limit on November 25. At the close, Leo shares fell 10.11% to 2.49 yuan, sealing the daily limit. This series of operations of investing in Space X not only made Leo shares receive a letter of concern from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but also made investors’ doubts increasingly boiling.

Screenshot of social media

After the market opened today, as of 9: 40: 18, Leo shares reported 2.44 yuan per share, which continued to fall.

A-share companies invest in Musk to build rockets, and American companies refund their faces.

According to public information, the original business of Leo shares is traditional manufacturing, covering a relatively complete industrial chain in the whole pump industry. In 2007, it was listed on the SME board of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. In 2014, Leo entered the field of digital marketing business through the acquisition of companies such as Manku Advertising, and gradually developed it into one of its main businesses.

On the morning of 25th, Leo announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Leo Investment, as a limited partner (LP), and the investment partnership Tomales Bay Capital Anduril III, L.P. (TBCALP, located in the United States) had its capital contribution of USD 50 million returned. The reason is that TBCA GP, the general partner of the partnership, said that he could not accept Leo Investment’s continued holding of LP shares, and planned to refund the contribution of Leo Investment.

Announcement screenshot

Comprehensive public information, the whole thing is like this:

On 15th of this month, Leo signed an agreement with TBCA LP through its wholly-owned subsidiary "Leo Investment". Leo invested US$ 50 million to invest in the project with TBCA LP. The target is Space X, a well-known company engaged in rocket launch and satellite communication ("Star Chain"), and its founder is Musk.

The next day (16th), Leo Investment set aside the cash.

On November 18, Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued a letter of concern, requesting Leo to disclose the details of TBCA before November 22, including but not limited to the fund size, organizational form, capital contribution method, capital contribution progress, duration, exit mechanism, etc., and explain the specific arrangements and progress of investing in Space X.

Letter of Concern from Shenzhen Stock Exchange (partial)

However, during this time window, the secondary market has already reacted violently. On November 17th and 18th, Leo shares went up for two consecutive days, and on the 19th, its share price once reached a short-term high of 3.08 yuan per share. However, Leo shares soon announced that the other side of the ocean changed its mind: TBCA’s general partner (TBCA GP) said that they could not accept Leo’s investment to continue to hold LP shares, and planned to return the capital contribution.

Open your eyes:

The general partner (GP) has the right to manage the partnership and acts on behalf of the partnership. Limited partners (LP) contribute, while GP contributes. Everyone enjoys the investment income together. The identity of Leo shares in the cooperation is LP. To put it simply, Leo shares gave money, but TBCA GP replied: I won’t do this job, you can take the money back.

Leo shares immediately expressed opposition. On the 24th, the money was returned by TBCA.

According to the announcement, Leo shares believe that there is no legal basis for TBCA to terminate the agreement, and it will not accept the return of investment funds and the recovery of LP shares held by Leo Investment. The Company reserves all rights to safeguard the interests of the Company, including but not limited to initiating judicial proceedings.

On the 25th, Leo shares once fell, and finally closed down 10.11% to 2.49 yuan, sealing the daily limit.

Wind screenshot, the same below.

In Leo stock bar, many angry netizens gathered together and questioned its "advertising", "cheating money" and "fooling people".

Hot concepts are all in one, which was named by Shenzhen Stock Exchange twice this year.

The performance data shows that Leo shares achieved revenue of 14.4 billion yuan in the first three quarters of this year, a year-on-year increase of 35.61%; But the loss is also obvious. According to Time Finance, Leo shareholders explained that "the third quarter was mainly due to too much investment losses, which led to a decline in net profit." The person also stressed that "investment can now be regarded as our third main business."

In addition to making rockets, chips, new energy, meta-universe and other popular tracks, Leo shares are involved.

According to public information, Fujian Pingtan Liheng Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Leo Co., Ltd., signed an agreement with Shanghai Lakeside International Equity Investment Management Co., Ltd., with a capital contribution of 26.5 million yuan (accounting for 999.9623%) to set up a company, and plans to invest in a single equity project in the field of chip design and production. The target is Xima United Measurement and Control (Quanzhou) Technology Co., Ltd.
