  NVIDIA, a graphics card giant, gave a pre-market performance warning on Monday, and predicted that its revenue in the second quarter would be US$ 6.7 billion, down 19% month-on-month and up only 3% year-on-year, mainly due to the sluggish performance of the game business (games+mining graphics cards) (revenue decreased by 44% month-on-month and decreased by 33% year-on-year). Overall revenue was much lower than NVIDIA’s previous forecast of $8.1 billion, and the stock closed down 6.3% (it fell over 9% in intraday trading), which also dragged down the Nasdaq. The company will hold a financial report meeting on August 24th.

Food additives are not a scourge. Don’t be fooled by the "zero addition" on food packaging.

  "The more authentic and natural the food, the safer and healthier it will be", which is the idea of many people now. When people buy food in the supermarket, "no addition" and "zero addition" often become the selection criteria. However, recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision issued the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Labeling (Draft for Comment) (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") to solicit opinions from the public. The "Measures" clearly stipulate that "no addition" and "zero addition" cannot be used in food. Why is this?

  "Food additives are the needs of seasoning and quality assurance, and modern food production and processing are inseparable from food additives, which is really ‘ Zero addition ’ There is almost no food, so-called ‘ Zero addition ’ It’s just a trick of business promotion. " Wang Hao, an associate professor at the School of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, said.

  Therefore, once the regulations such as "zero addition" are officially passed, it will be beneficial to standardize food labeling and greatly limit the operation of some businesses to fool consumers with "zero addition"; It is conducive to strengthening the supervision and management of food labeling and protecting consumers’ right to know and choose; It is conducive to guiding consumers to correctly understand food additives and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and food producers and operators.

  Modern food production and processing are inseparable from additives.

  With the improvement of living standards, consumers’ standards for eating are getting higher and higher. Many people are flustered at the sight of a string of unfamiliar chemical terms in food instructions, and they are worried that the irregular use of additives in food will bring safety problems, even to the point of talking about "adding". Once food safety problems occur, additives often become "back-pot men".

  "Food additives are one of the most active, developing and improving parts in the food industry. It is a synthetic or natural substance added to food to improve the quality of food such as color, fragrance and taste, and to meet the needs of anti-corrosion, preservation and processing technology. " Wang Hao said, "Food additives have greatly promoted the development of food industry. Only using food additives can prolong the storage period of food, ensure food safety, provide people with more delicious and nutritious food and meet people’s different needs. Food additives are the product of the development of modern food industry. Without food additives, there would be no modern food industry. Therefore, food additives are also known as the soul of the modern food industry. "

  "After entering the food industrialization, it is quite difficult for prepackaged foods, which has been processed by enterprises, to find food without food additives." Wang Hao said that some people think that they can stay away from additives when cooking at home. In fact, there are many additives in various seasonings used in cooking. For example, soy sauce contains food additives such as caramel color, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, and anti-caking agents added in salt and antioxidants added in edible oil are all food additives. This is why edible oil has no "spicy taste" after being put for a long time, and salt is not easy to agglomerate in summer.

  "Some people will compare the ingredient list when buying food, and think that foods with fewer kinds of food additives are healthier than foods with more additives." In this regard, Wang Hao emphasized that "as long as food additives are used legally and in moderation, the number of types added does not affect the quality and safety of food."

  Writing "zero addition" does not necessarily mean that there are no additives.

  "If illegal additives are not added, it’s like a salted duck egg package that says ‘ Sudan Red ’ is not added; Similarly, it should not appear in the product, let alone on the packaging, because it is the responsibility and obligation of the manufacturer that the product does not contain illegal additives. " Wang Hao analysis, and if "zero addition" refers to the absence of legal additives, this situation is even more interesting. The state originally stipulated that additives can be added, but the products are marked in bold and bold, which will cause misunderstanding to consumers and think that these additives are harmful.

  "In addition, some business logos will not say that no specific substances have been added, but only that they have not been added in general, which makes people think that this is food without any additives." Wang Hao said, for example, some foods that don’t need preservatives themselves, because they don’t have an environment for corrupt microorganisms to "have children", such as honey (high sugar), instant noodle cakes (dry) and pickled foods (high salt). Although these foods may not contain preservatives as food additives, they will contain other food additives, which will mislead consumers.

  Wang Hao pointed out that the real problem is that some food packages are secretive, and although they are marked with "zero addition" and "no addition", they are actually added. In other words, the so-called "zero-addition" and "no-addition" have become the propaganda tactics of merchants, which not only damages consumers’ right to know, but also disrupts the competition order in the food market. Therefore, it is forbidden for food production and operation enterprises to mark "no addition" and "zero addition" on food packaging, which not only helps to standardize and restrict the production and operation behavior of enterprises, but also fully protects consumers’ right to know.

  "Zero addition" does not mean healthier and safer.

  "In fact, even if it’s true ‘ Zero addition ’ It does not mean that it is safe, healthy and nutritious. " Wang Hao explained that, for example, food preservatives are a major category of food additives, which are used to prevent or delay food spoilage and prolong food preservation and storage period. There are some foods with high protein content, and preservatives must be added to ensure the quality and safety of the products, otherwise it will be more prone to spoilage. Therefore, adding preservatives in a suitable range is actually a guarantee for consumer food safety.

  "Sometimes the right amount of food additives can reduce and eliminate the output of harmful substances in the food production process." Wang Hao, for example, said that when curing food, adding proper amount of ascorbic acid, which is commonly known as vitamin C, can effectively reduce the content of carcinogenic nitrite.

  "For example, many people like to eat air-dried cured meat, fermented foods and bean products. In the production process, it is easy to produce botulinum that can release highly toxic toxins. A very small amount can paralyze nerves, which in turn causes respiratory failure and death." Wang Hao said that in the industrial production of this kind of food, professional technicians are responsible for controlling the usage and dosage of additives, and there are also standard production procedures to reduce the generation of harmful substances. In the production process and before entering the market, we should also carry out quality inspection on products according to national standards.

  "Standardizing the use of food additives has the function of ensuring safety, ‘ Zero addition ’ There will be no more advantages in security. " Wang Hao said.

Error in marking English papers for the senior high school entrance examination; the error of scores of a group of candidates was as high as 40 points.

  CCTV News:From July 18th to 21st, it was the time for more than 21,000 junior high school graduates in Yan ‘an City, Shaanxi Province to announce their senior high school entrance examination results and fill in their volunteers. After the results were announced, many candidates found that there was a big discrepancy between their English scores and their estimated scores, so volunteering for the senior high school entrance examination was interrupted. The local education department said that due to the lack of review, English scores were wrong.

  The parents of the students said that the answer came out the next day after the exam. The child estimated the score, which was more than 70, and the final score was 51. I feel that the gap is a bit big.

  Another student’s parents said that after her English score came down, she got a score of 60, and she estimated her own score of 80, and she usually got a score of 80.

  After discovering this problem, I went to the school to report it. The class teacher said that I could write an application and go to the city to check it again.

  When parents went to the local examination center to reflect their problems, they found that many students had doubts about their English scores. The published results differ from the child’s estimated results by 20 to 40 points.

In this regard, Yan’ an Admissions Examination Management Center said that they handed over the proofreading and re-examination work to a third-party unit that provided marking technical services.

  Because of the regulatory obligation, Yan ‘an Admissions Examination Management Center conducted a random inspection of some examination papers.

  The reporter tried to contact the person in charge of Xi ‘an Guanyu Technology Co., Ltd., a third-party unit providing marking technical services, but the phone of the person in charge of the company was always turned off.

  At present, the local authorities have announced the results after the review and organized students to fill in their volunteers.

  The chief of the senior high school entrance examination department of Yan ‘an Examination Management Center was dismissed because of the mistakes in the results of the senior high school entrance examination. On the 27th, the local discipline inspection and supervision organs started the accountability procedure.

Class 2A carcinogen was detected in the drug! The problem valsartan API has been recalled.

  Cctv news: Pay attention to the situation of valsartan in Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Company. Yesterday (July 29th), the spokesperson of National Medical Products Administration introduced the situation of trace N- nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) impurities detected in valsartan raw materials of Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 

  On July 6th, Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical reported to National Medical Products Administration that a small amount of N- nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) impurities were detected in the raw materials of valsartan for export, and voluntarily disclosed relevant information to the public according to relevant regulations and requirements.

  Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. immediately suspended the release and delivery of all valsartan raw materials in the domestic and international markets after detecting the impurity, and initiated the measures of voluntary recall. As of July 23, Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical has completed the recall of all raw materials in China.

  In 2012 and 2013, the current process of raw materials of this enterprise was approved by the European Drug Administration (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) respectively.

  Since July 6th, National Medical Products Administration has maintained close communication and contact with the European Drug Administration and the US Food and Drug Administration, paid close attention to the announcements and trends of risk assessment issued by international regulatory agencies, and organized experts to carry out risk assessment.

  According to the toxicological data, the maximum daily intake limit of N- nitrosodimethylamine is 0.1μ G, which is equivalent to the provisional reference limit value of 0.3ppm by the European Drug Administration (calculated by taking 320mg valsartan daily).

  According to the above-mentioned limit value, National Medical Products Administration conducted risk investigation on all the seven domestic manufacturers of valsartan raw materials (including Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical). Except for the impurity of N- nitrosodimethylamine in valsartan raw materials of Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical, the impurity detection value of N- nitrosodimethylamine in other domestic manufacturers of valsartan raw materials was lower than the limit value or was not detected.

  There are 6 pharmaceutical manufacturers involved in the use of valsartan in Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical:

  The valsartan capsule (National Medicine Zhunzi H20103521) produced by Hunan Qianjin Xiangjiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has not yet left the factory.

  The impurities of N- nitrosodimethylamine in the listed products of the other five manufacturers exceeded the limit, namely

  Valsartan Hydrochlorothiazide Capsule of Chongqing Kangkeer Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (National Medicine Zhunzi H20080097)

  Valsartan dispersible tablets of Hainan Huanglong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (National Medicine Zhunzi H20050508)

  Valsartan dispersible tablets of Harbin Sanlian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (National Medicine Zhunzi H20061058)

  Valsartan Hydrochlorothiazide Dispersible Tablets of Jiangsu Wangao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (National Medicine Zhunzi H20090262)

  Valsartan dispersible tablets of Shandong Yijian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (National Medicine Zhunzi H20090319)

  The above five preparation manufacturers have stopped using the raw materials of Valsartan of Huahai Pharmaceutical and recalled relevant drugs according to regulations.

  National Medical Products Administration has asked all provincial food and drug supervision and management departments to urge relevant preparation manufacturers to take recall measures, and disclose relevant recall information on the websites of five manufacturers, including the contact numbers of the enterprises responsible for the recall.

  In order to facilitate the public to know in time whether the Valsartan drugs being used are within the scope of recall, five manufacturers have cooperated with information technology companies and launched the code scanning inquiry function at 22: 00 on July 26, 2018. The product traceability code can be scanned through the mobile APP to realize instant inquiry.

  National Medical Products Administration spokesman stressed that besides the above five preparation manufacturers, other valsartan preparation products are not included in the recall.

  At present, European Union and other multinational drug regulatory agencies believe that N- nitrosodimethylamine belongs to Class 2A carcinogen (that is, there is sufficient evidence in animal experiments, but the evidence is limited), and it may be exposed to this substance in daily life (such as preserved food). Analysis of the drugs involved this time will not cause serious health risks to patients, but for safety reasons, risk control measures such as stopping sales and recalling should be taken.

  On July 27th, FDA issued a notice that patients taking recalled valsartan should continue to take the current drugs until doctors or pharmacists provide alternative drugs or different treatment schemes.

  A spokesman for National Medical Products Administration reminded that patients who are taking valsartan drugs must not stop taking them without authorization, because the risk of stopping taking them without authorization is more direct and serious for patients with hypertension. Whether to stop taking medicine or change medicine must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. You can contact a doctor to replace other drugs containing valsartan that are not involved in the recall or choose other drugs for alternative treatment.

  National Medical Products Administration requires the relevant provincial food and drug supervision and management departments to continue to follow the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Drug Recall, urge enterprises to do a good job in product recall and protect people’s drug safety.

Chen Kaige recalled Leslie Cheung: At first sight, Mandarin Hotel said that he was Cheng Dieyi.

1905 movie network news On November 20th, director Chen Kaige was invited to attend the film academic observation jointly organized by the Academic Affairs Office of Beijing Film Academy and the director department, and shared the film from scratch with the teachers and students present after the screening. More than 700 seats in the standard screening hall were packed, and the teachers and students in the school cherished the opportunity of face-to-face communication with director Chen Kaige.

   

In the post-screening exchange, Chen Kaige not only sincerely thanked the creative team of that year for "all their great contributions"; I also talked with you about the wonderful past that Leslie Cheung was Cheng Dieyi, and frankly said that "this experience is only this time"; He also expressed his concern and support for young creators, bluntly saying that "the film festival is not only a promised place for movies, but also an inspirational place representing youth and hope", and he hoped that the film festival could focus more on young creators.

 

Sincerely thank all the founders for sighing that Leslie Cheung has given us the only experience.

   

After the academic observation and screening of the film Farewell My Concubine, the film director Chen Kaige took the stage to share his feelings with all the teachers and students. Thanks to the hundreds of staff members who fought together in those years, especially Gu Changwei and Tao Jing, the alumni of the same session directed by Chen Kaige, "Photographers and sound recorders were very young at that time, but they created such magnificent images and powerful voices", as well as assistants and collaborators at that time, Zhang Jinzhan, Bai Yu, artist Zhanjia Yang and composer Zhao Jiping, "all made great contributions". ZhangFeng yi, one of the leading actors, is a leader in the performance department of Class 7 and Class 8 of Nortel. Director Chen Kaige highly praised his performance, saying that "his Duan Xiaolou is wonderful" and was moved by Mr. ZhangFeng yi’s dedication in filming.


 Director Chen Kaige also talked with you in more detail about the origin of filming, from being invited twice by producer Feng Hsu at Cannes International Film Festival to having various exchanges with original author Li Bihua. He not only gave Feng Hsu the first credit for Farewell My Concubine, but also praised Li Bihua as "the mother of Farewell My Concubine, and her novels laid an excellent foundation for the film" and "man of great talent, fantastic ideas". Li Bihua, as one of the screenwriters, also traveled from Hongkong to Beijing during the script creation stage to participate in the exchange and discussion between director Chen Kaige and another screenwriter, Reed. One of director Chen Kaige’s creative habits is to communicate with the screenwriter for a long time in the script stage, give a big outline for the characters, plot and story direction, and then discuss with the screenwriter, and finally realize it.

Especially in Farewell My Concubine, the time has been extended to 50 years, and the script structure is very complicated. In about half a year, director Chen Kaige and two screenwriters, Li Bihua and Reed, went through the process of affirmation, negation and reaffirmation. There is no routine, only the understanding and confirmation of the characters. After the first draft of the script was written, Reed took a pen and asked Chen Kaige to draw a circle in the satisfied scenes. If he was not satisfied, he would revise it again. After reading it, Director Chen Kaige only drew a few circles in the first draft, and then took everyone into a new round of discussion and revision. This manuscript is still precious. The script has been polished over and over again, and it is constantly enriched and perfected. Especially at the end of the script, Chen Kaige emphasized that the ending of the two people meeting in the bathroom in Hong Kong has no power. Only letting Cheng Dieyi follow the pace of Yuji’s fate is the only reasonable treatment that conforms to the character’s character logic.

  

 In the actor’s part, Chen Kaige naturally talked about Leslie Cheung along the role of Cheng Dieyi, and what Chen Kaige always remembers is his first meeting with Leslie Cheung — —

    

"The first time I met Leslie Cheung was when the first draft of the script was not finished. I have to tell him this story orally. Ms. Feng Hsu made arrangements for meeting in advance at the coffee shop of Mandarin Hotel. In the future, he jumped down from the same building. He is very gentle and quiet, and I speak in a hurry, for fear that we will have a language barrier. I speak Mandarin, and he is an actor who speaks Cantonese. I’m afraid what I said won’t impress him. I have also said on other occasions that he smokes a lot and his fingers are shaking all the time. In the process of speaking, I was skeptical and psychologically repulsive, so I asked myself, how do I know that he is the right person to play Cheng Dieyi? I don’t even know if he is a good actor. My story happened in China, and he is a Hong Kong person. Can he understand such characters and stories? And here I am, madly telling a story that may be rejected.

He never spoke, just listened, sometimes he looked up at me, and sometimes he didn’t look at me. But when I finished speaking, it suddenly dawned on me that he was Cheng Dieyi. Because I think he is like a person sitting in the bow of this story ship. After the ship moves, the lakes and mountains are changing all the time, and these light, shadow and water waves all reflect on his face. I don’t want to say that he is acting, but he is following Cheng Dieyi closely, approaching him, expressing him and loving him in a very subtle way. At this time, he stood up and shook hands with me and said,’ Thank you for telling me the story. I am Cheng Dieyi.’ This is a hair-raising moment. "This also made Chen Kaige identify with Leslie Cheung — — This is the only experience.

 

Looking back, I hope the film festival will pay attention to young people and create new possibilities.

  

After the film Farewell My Concubine was born, it won the Palme d ‘Or Award at the 46th Cannes International Film Festival in 1993, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in the United States and two nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Photography at the Oscars the following year. It was rated as one of the 100 best films in the world by Time Magazine, which has produced great international influence.

   

From Farewell My Concubine, Chen Kaige, the director, fought in major film festivals with his works in his youth, and the film festivals did give him honor and support. In Chen Kaige’s view, a good film festival "is full of charm and becomes the hall that filmmakers all over the world yearn for because it is unknowable." "You don’t know what kind of movie form a new trend will run out, and the new possibilities that keep emerging surprise you." Therefore, the film festival "is not only the promised land of movies, but also an inspirational place representing youth and hope". Chen Kaige believes that film festivals and professional organizations such as China Film Directors Association should pay more attention to those "young people who are happy, confused, miserable and give up everything for movies" and let them stand on the podium.

   

Director Chen Kaige’s sharing touched the teachers and students of Nortel who were present. In the subsequent interactive session, Chen Kaige answered the questions raised by the students in the audience one by one, and his serious and professional attitude moved people.

From the end of the 1960s to the end of the 1990s, this was the only tool for their editors, and the frequency was controlled in the frequency of 24 squares by hand. "My editing of Man to Middle Age, Zhou Enlai and Armageddon was cut out by such a machine."



The process of film editing is particularly complicated. After the film is finished, it should be washed in the studio, and then printed into samples with the negative, and the editor and the director and other producers will jointly review it.

 

When editing, the sound and picture of the sample should be synchronized with the negative, so the first step of editing is not to cut, but to arrange, and each of the specific scenes, shots and sound tapes in all the shooting materials should be completely recorded first, otherwise the material synchronized with the negative can not be found later.

 

"So it’s not easy to start editing. All this work has to be done before you can enter the creative stage." Yang Xingyuan said that it is more difficult at the stage of revision. For example, if there are ten films and one place is revised, these ten films will have to be hand-cranked from beginning to end on the film receiver. "After shaking it down, it is a lot of films, and then it is lifted one by one. At that time, the state positioned the editor as a light manual worker. "



Recalling the editing work of "Zhou Enlai", at that time, the version of mixed editing of picture and sound was completed, but the director had to modify the picture temporarily. "I was so angry that I wouldn’t change it for you, but he personally took a dozen films upstairs and asked me to change it." In order to make the film better, Yang Xingyuan said that even if the editing process was not easy at that time, it still had to be modified.


In the past, when editing technology was underdeveloped, a small machine supported the creation of many excellent classic films. Sun Yiqun recalled, "At that time, my mother stayed up late at night, so I slept next to her with a small quilt. I always wanted to shake this film, and my mother was particularly afraid that I would destroy it. She said that if you broke it, the consequences would be unimaginable."



Nowadays, computer technology is very simple to operate the effects of transition editing, such as fade-in, fade-out, cut-in and cut-out, overlapping, etc., but it is very troublesome in the film age. It is necessary for the editor to make specific marks on the film with a special pen, and then let the special effects producers use optical skills to make them on the film.

 

The complicated and exquisite technology of film film editors bears the heavy history of China films.



"For example, there are seven kinds of scenes to record a dialogue and an action now. I think the workload is very heavy. There are more than 200 shots as soon as I open the folder, but it is much more complicated than us to hear these things that the predecessors are editing. My mother sewed by hand at that time, and now it is equivalent to using an electric sewing machine. "

 

Hearing his mother’s introduction to film editing technology, Sun Yiqun felt a lot. "Now we have mastered new technologies and brought us convenience, while the older generation got through it like that and admired it."


Digital editing: White Snake’s secret recipe


The era of film editing has ended, and digital computer technology has been fully popularized. Nowadays, Sun Yiqun’s editing work is no longer just a simple operation technology, but also needs to integrate his own ideas at the creative level.

 

Talking about her latest film White Snake, Sun Yiqun said that in editing skills, she paid special attention to the balance between drama and film.



"There are many stylized things in traditional Chinese opera. Actors often communicate with the audience and the camera, which breaks the spatial illusion that the film has carefully established." Therefore, she will especially avoid editing the lens that highlights the "fourth wall" and choose more pictures of actors communicating with each other.

 

When the traditional Chinese opera performance is put on the movie screen, it is easy to have a magnifying effect. In addition, it is 4K quality, and any tiny expression of the actor can be clearly captured. When editing, Sun Yiqun will also avoid the scenes that will appear exaggerated on the big screen.



"The hand, eye, body and steps of an opera actor, his figure is a very important aspect of expression. If I edit excessively or even choose inappropriate scenery, it will destroy the good rhythm of the opera, so I still have to pick up its rhythm and grasp it well." How to find a moderate point is a difficult part of this editing.

 

Sun Yiqun is also worried that if the aria is too long, it will affect the audience’s desire to watch. Among them, there is a scene of "Broken Bridge and Residual Snow", in which lady white snake complains to Xu Xian after suffering, and the recorded aria is very long. She took the initiative to discuss the reduction with the director. "Otherwise, it would ruin lady white snake’s image and become a dissatisfied housewife." Finally, after coordination and careful cutting, it was cut for more than 30 minutes.



White Snake reinterprets classic stories and boldly tries new editing techniques of combining drama with film. Yang Xingyuan feels that today’s editors have a higher pursuit than the older generation. "They need to have the ability to master the lens and handle the structure, not the things we have learned. Those things have passed. They can put more energy into creation. "


Two generations of editing methods


Yang Xingyuan was originally an actor, but later transferred to Changying and changed to editing. "Having been an actor for more than ten or twenty years, I can still understand the performance and rhythm, and this accumulation will be useful. I just thought I could learn to edit and play my little role."

 

Thanks to her experience as an actor, Yang Xingyuan switched to editing, and she can better handle the rhythm of performances and shots.

 

When cutting "Man to Middle Age", because Lu Wenting and Yang Xingyuan are both of the same generation, Yang Xingyuan said that she edited the character completely according to the character and her own feelings. "Lu Wenting went to see the child, and the editor must understand how she looked at it in order to impress the audience. So I chose her to post it in the nearest place to watch the child sleeping, so that I can understand the psychological feelings of this character. "



With more than 40 years of experience in behind-the-scenes editing, Yang Xingyuan concluded that editors should think about editing from three angles.

 

The first is the director. "I must know what he wants to do, what he wants to show and what he wants to give to the audience." Then there is the character, "to understand the character’s mentality and his various things."


Then there is the audience. "You must know what the audience wants to see and where his interest lies. I can’t say that I am an old lady now. My rhythm is slow, so I don’t appreciate the audience’s appreciation ability. I also deal with the film according to my rhythm and speed, and the audience will definitely stop watching it. "



Daughter Sun Yiqun did a lot of work that had nothing to do with art. Later, her mother thought she should learn a skill, so she taught her to edit and took her into the business. The two later jointly edited the TV series Behind the Vanity.

 

"They always ask why the play they cut is not good-looking. I said that because you cut the process, it is not a play." Sun Yiqun believes that a good editing is to "pick up" the scene and find the eye of the scene, while a bad editing is to exert an average force. "If the scene and the scene are not more energetic, it will not work."

 

In her view, editing and scriptwriting have a lot in common, they all want to tell stories, and they all want to think about how to make this story vivid, interesting and arresting.



From Yang Xingyuan to Sun Yiqun, from film editing to digital editing, the editors of mother and daughter have great enthusiasm for this art, which has been passed down from generation to generation not only for the iterative upgrade of film editing skills, but also for the consistent dedication, concentration, lean and innovative craftsmanship as editors.


The annual salary of the four directors of Country Garden is reduced to 120,000, and the resources are concentrated to ensure delivery.

Reduce expenses: the annual salary of the four directors is reduced to 120,000 yuan, and the administrative expenses are reduced by 60%.

On December 12th, Country Garden Holdings Limited announced that the directors’ salary was adjusted.

According to the announcement, in combination with the actual business needs of the industry and the company, Ms. Yang Huiyan, Mr. Mo Bin, Ms. Yang Ziying, executive directors of Country Garden, and Mr. Chen Nai, non-executive directors, offered to reduce their salaries, and signed a supplementary agreement and a supplementary letter of appointment with the company on November 1, 2023, which will be the latest annual salary adjustment for directors as follows (adopted by the board of directors of the company on the date of this announcement and effective on November 1, 2023): Yang Huiyan will be adjusted from 370,000 yuan to.

It is understood that Country Garden has made several adjustments to executive compensation in the past two years.By 2023, executive compensation will drop by 86% compared with 2021.These executives include the vice president of the company headquarters, the general manager of the functional center and above, and the regional president.

According to Country Garden’s official micro-display, the whole group tried its best to reduce administrative expenses, all of which were based on the principle of zero, and unnecessary expenses were not spent. Rigid expenses were reduced as much as possible through integration and intensification. In 2023, administrative expenses were significantly reduced by nearly 60% compared with 2021.

At present, Country Garden has cancelled all senior executives’ car allocation. When there is a real need for work, it can achieve intensive vehicle cost control and cost reduction by applying for official car allocation or using its own car. For all group buses including the former senior executives’ car allocation, assets are revitalized through internal public bidding and foreign workers’ debt repayment. In addition, including the reimbursement of senior executives’ medical examinations and the free canteen for senior executives, etc. have also been cancelled.

Streamlining organizational structure: 14 to 7

Recently, Country Garden has adjusted its organizational structure and merged 14 regional companies into 7 new regions: Hebei and Beijing merged into North China; Shandong and northern Jiangsu merged into Lusu region, northwest and Shaanxi merged into central and western regions, Anhui and Zhejiang merged into Zhejiang-Anhui region, Jiangxi and Fujian merged into Jiangxi-Fujian region, Yunnan and Sichuan merged into Sichuan-Yunnan region, and Guangxi and Jiangzhong merged into Jiangzhong region.

In this regard, Country Garden said that under the current industry situation, this adjustment is aimed at further improving the adaptability between the organization and the business, promoting flat and efficient management, complementing the available resources, and doing their best to ensure the realization of the strategic goal of "guaranteeing delivery".

Yang Huiyan said at the management meeting that the overall organizational structure of the company has reached a relatively stable stage after certain adjustments at the group headquarters and regional project level. What we need to do next is to lock in outstanding talents, adhere to the open and transparent mechanism of selecting and employing people and cultivating talents, and better improve the short, medium and long-term salary and incentive mechanism.

Guaranteed delivery: It is estimated that the delivery will exceed 400,000 sets next year.

Country Garden said that ensuring delivery is the company’s vital corporate responsibility and the safety bottom line of the property market.

According to public information, in 2022, Country Garden Group and its joint ventures and affiliated companies delivered nearly 700,000 houses, ranking first in the industry in terms of delivery volume. In the first 11 months of 2023, the Group has delivered more than 500,000 houses with a total delivery area of 60.43 million square meters, involving 240 cities in 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions), and the delivery volume once again ranks first in the industry.

At the management meeting of Country Garden Group in December, Yang Huiyan pointed out that in the next 12 months, the delivery challenge will enter the deep water area.The delivery volume of Country Garden is expected to exceed 400,000 sets in 2024.The number is still huge. "Guaranteeing delivery is a very difficult but also very important task. I hope that everyone will be ready, attach great importance to it and do a good job in pre-planning."

Open source: "selling hematopoiesis"+"two wings" business

At Country Garden Group Management Meeting in December, Yang Huiyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group, said:"The family will definitely support the company by selling iron, and the company will strive to explore an effective path to resume normal operations as soon as possible."

It is reported that, as the controlling shareholder, Yang Huiyan family has supported a total of about HK$ 41 billion by borrowing money, increasing stock holdings, purchasing bonds, and paying interest by shares. Among them, HK$ 1.56 billion interest-free unsecured loans were provided to the Group in 2021, and HK$ 5.05 billion was raised in December 2022 for interest-free unsecured loans to the Group.

(1) Promote sales and realize hematopoiesis.

Recently, the management and financial department of Country Garden Group conducted a sensitivity simulation analysis of the extreme situation that the company may face in its operation. Yang Huiyan said: "Under conservative calculation, as long as our inventory assets are sold normally, Country Garden will continue to maintain positive assets in the next decade even assuming that we don’t buy land, there is no tax reduction, and the new contribution of the two wings is not considered."

Mo Bin, president of Country Garden, said that what Country Garden is doing now is mainly hemostasis and blood transfusion. At the same time, it is necessary to cultivate internal strength, get through difficult times, and strive to increase sales and realize hematopoiesis, so that enterprises can truly return to the track of healthy development. In addition, Mo Bin stressed that in order to realize sales hematopoiesis, first, we should grasp the key sales nodes in December, increase the renovation of existing buildings, mobilize national marketing, strive to break through special revitalization and promote the return of cash. Second, we should pay close attention to the payment at the end of the year and do a good job in collecting overdue receivables at the end of the year. At the same time, it is necessary to plan the work of returning home during the Spring Festival in advance, and the returning areas should make full preparations in advance to prepare for a good start in supply and sales arrangements.

However, the current sales situation of Country Garden is still not optimistic.From January to November, 2023, the cumulative sales of Country Garden was 212.45 billion yuan, down 52% year-on-year, which was the largest year-on-year decline among the TOP30 housing enterprises. In addition, the monthly sales of Country Garden are still in a downward trend: since July this year, the sales of Country Garden have dropped sharply, of which the contracted sales in June was 16 billion yuan, which fell to 12.07 billion yuan in July, 7.98 billion yuan in August and 6.17 billion yuan in September respectively. In October, the sales volume was 6.31 billion yuan, compared with the previous month, but the latest data showed that the sales volume showed a downward trend again, and the sales volume in November was 6.11 billion yuan.

(2) Cultivate new business growth points

In addition to the real estate sector business, Country Garden is also making efforts in technology construction and escrow construction. It is reported that since June this year, Bozhilin robot under Country Garden has started to sell to the market. At present, it is mainly leased to buy and repurchased by old customers. In terms of agency construction, Phoenix Zhituo has added four new projects, including Qinhuangdao in Hebei, Luoyang in Henan, Shangqiu in Henan and Yancheng in Jiangsu, on the basis of the original projects since its establishment two months ago. Country Garden said that it will continue to cultivate new business growth points in the future.

State Post Bureau: On the day of "double 11", the country handled 535 million express mail.

Data map: Taiyuan, Shanxi, postal workers are sorting express delivery. China News Service reporter Zhang Yunshe

  BEIJING, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) According to the official WeChat news of the State Post Bureau, on November 11, according to the monitoring data of the State Post Bureau, postal and express delivery companies handled 535 million express mail all day, which was three times the daily processing volume since the second quarter, with a year-on-year increase of 28.6%, a record high.

  It is estimated that the peak season of "double 11" this year will last from November 11th to 18th. During the peak period, the whole industry will handle 2.8 billion pieces of express mail. The whole industry still regards "peak-shifting delivery and balanced promotion" as the core mechanism, and strictly controls the peak delivery volume according to the delivery carrying capacity of each enterprise and the planned push volume. Through big data platforms such as postal industry safety supervision information system and e-commerce collaborative platform, the State Post Bureau will pay close attention to the whole network operation in real time, guide enterprises to control the dispatching rhythm, and moderately extend the delivery time limit of double 11.

  In order to achieve the goals of "two noes" (no paralysis of the whole network and no explosion of important nodes) and "three guarantees" (smooth flow, safety and stability), on the basis of the existing service capacity, the whole industry temporarily hired nearly 400,000 people and 120,000 vehicles, and added more than 3.6 million square meters of processing sites and more than 3,000 sets of automatic and semi-automatic sorting equipment. Technically, unmanned warehouses, drones and unmanned vehicles have gradually achieved mass production and large-scale application. More than 200 intelligent distribution centers have been built nationwide, and many unmanned warehouses have been set up by enterprises such as SF, JD.COM, Cainiao and Suning. A large number of heavy-duty storage robots and distribution robots have been promoted and applied in different occasions, and the "illegal operation AI intelligent identification system" that automatically identifies violent sorting behavior has been put into operation in some enterprises. In urban areas, 82,000 terminal public service stations have been built nationwide, and more than 380,000 sets of intelligent express boxes have been deployed, effectively supplementing the terminal service capacity of express delivery. The establishment of 59,000 rural express public pick-up and delivery points will better meet the delivery service needs of rural residents. In terms of international business, the outlets of express delivery enterprises in more than 60 countries, overseas warehouses covering more than 50 countries and regions and new international routes will play a very positive role. In terms of after-sales, AI intelligent customer service robots that can achieve 24-hour service have been put into use in many enterprises, which will effectively improve customer service capacity during peak hours.

  In response to the consumer’s concern about the "last mile" in rural areas in the peak season, the relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau pointed out that up to now, express outlets have covered more than 30,000 towns and villages, and the coverage rate of express outlets in towns and villages nationwide has reached 96%, effectively improving the distribution capacity in rural areas. At the same time, the State Post Bureau specially issued the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating Express Delivery to the Countryside" this year, intensified efforts to build a terminal delivery service system consisting of home delivery, box delivery and platform delivery, and constantly promoted the integrated development of transportation and postal express delivery, and promoted the coordinated development of express delivery and rural e-commerce. In addition, since April this year, two rounds of cleaning up and rectifying illegal charges for express terminal services have been deployed nationwide, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of farmers. On the issue of express packaging, with the help of "double 11", the industry has vigorously promoted the "9571" project of green development, continuously reduced the secondary packaging of e-commerce express mail, and deployed 27,000 standardized express packaging recycling devices at terminal service stations. At the same time, enterprises have done a lot of work in reducing the use of packaging materials, promoting electronic face sheets, circulating transfer bags and packaging recycling boxes.

Media friends:

Good morning everyone!

The Party Group of Zhengzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration attaches great importance to the protection of consumers’ rights and interests. In 2020, according to the reform plan and work requirements of market supervision institutions, the Municipal Bureau established a new Zhengzhou 12315 Complaint Reporting Rights Protection Center. With the number of "12315", we provided market supervision consultation, complaint and report services to the outside world, and opened 30 telephone seats to provide 24-hour hotline service for consumers in our city throughout the year. At the same time, the Municipal Bureau focuses on serving people’s livelihood, insists on keeping integrity and innovation, and actively builds a consumer rights protection network. In all major enterprises and supermarkets in the city, a "consumer rights protection service station" has been established, and enterprises have been mobilized to actively solve "online consumption disputes", organized "safe consumption creation" activities, and promoted the commitment mechanism of "no reason to return goods offline". Through various efforts, the city’s consumer market has been further purified, the market consumption environment has been optimized, and the sense of gain and happiness in the consumer environment has been improved.

In 2020, the city’s 12315 system received 413001 consumer inquiries, complaints and reports, including 258168 inquiries, 81800 complaints and 73033 reports. 81,593 complaints were settled, with a settlement rate of 99.74%. The amount of disputes involved in the complaints was 334.1707 million yuan, and the amount of economic losses recovered was 72.5416 million yuan. 72,743 reports were completed, with a completion rate of 99.6%.

Judging from the way of acceptance, the 12315 hotline received 325195 consumer appeals this year, and it is still the main channel for complaint acceptance; The national 12315 Internet platform received 61436 consumer appeals, which was the second acceptance channel; The mobile client, WeChat, Alipay applet and mobile APP received 21,026 consumer appeals, and the receiving volume increased significantly. There were 5,344 incoming letters and other forms, and the proportion of receiving letters decreased compared with previous years, indicating that the trend of consumer complaints is developing in the direction of convenience, digitalization, networking and intelligence, and also embodying the advantages of "internet plus" government services.

Based on the summary analysis of hot issues of consumer complaints in 2020, it is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:

I. Complaints and reports on residents’ services and daily necessities

A total of 8959 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. First, fitness and sports venues. The problems of recharging and refunding fees caused by the epidemic situation, such as not being able to operate normally, changing business address, leaving private education, etc., mainly include "it is easy to apply for a card, it is difficult to return the card", "closing the store and running away", "restricting consumption" and "standard terms". The second is clothing, shoes and hats. There are many disputes about return and exchange caused by inconsistent ingredients, quality defects, physical differences and after-sales service. The third is a cultural communication company. Tickets are sold online, but affected by epidemic control or other reasons, which leads to the cancellation of performances or disguised price increases, and it is difficult for consumers to refund tickets. The fourth is household items. The quality and specifications of the physical object are inconsistent with the samples, the goods are not delivered in time, and the appearance defects are difficult to return.

Second, food complaints and reports

Problems such as non-delivery, less delivery, non-payment and substandard hygiene of catering units.

Iii. Complaints and reports on vehicles

A total of 2728 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. The first is the problem of car purchase and consumption. After the intention to buy a car, the merchant promised to get a refund, but in the end, it was impossible to get a refund, the consumer could not pick up the car within the promised time, and the 4s shop did not agree to change the model, which made it difficult for consumers to get a refund. The second is the issue of fees. After the repayment of the car by installment is completed, the problem of charging the handling fee for releasing the charge; The third is vehicle maintenance. During the warranty period, vehicle maintenance, on the grounds that there are no accessories, will not be repaired or buck passing, as well as the abnormal quality of the car after the three-guarantee sale.

Four, household appliances and communication equipment complaints.

A total of 2,874 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. The first is the quality of household appliances. Purchase, installation and delivery of household appliances, quality or defects, and damage after use; The second is the after-sales service of household appliances. The main problems are no maintenance, lack of accessories, no return and other issues; The third is the distinction of after-sales responsibility. No "three guarantees" on the grounds of man-made damage and unclear definition of maintenance responsibility; Fourth, it is difficult to return communication equipment. It is suspected that the purchased mobile phone is a refurbished or second-hand mobile phone, and it is difficult to communicate and collect evidence and return it; The fifth is the problem of mobile phone accessories. Mobile phone repair and replacement of second-hand accessories, the use of counterfeit and inferior mobile phone accessories and other issues.

V. Complaints and reports on decoration and building materials

A total of 948 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. Mainly reflected in the decoration materials and cabinets, doors and windows, furniture and other issues. The first is advertising. Merchants use absolute terms such as "best", "highest quality" and "leading technology" in advertisements, and use exaggerated propaganda and false propaganda such as "never fading", "nontoxic and environmentally friendly" and "antibacterial and breathable". The second is the issue of service commitment. After-sales service has problems such as deliberate delay or unreasonable refusal, failure to deliver goods on time, failure to install on time, failure to fulfill service commitments, etc. The third is product quality. There are some problems in building materials, such as unqualified quality, fake materials, fake and inferior quality, and excessive odor.

In order to effectively strengthen the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, and smooth the channels for reporting complaints, the Municipal Bureau has arranged to launch a special campaign to ensure safety and stability in the whole city in early March. Focus on key areas, key places, key units, key equipment and key areas to carry out centralized management, eliminate potential safety hazards and protect consumer safety. During the special action, the general public are invited to actively participate.

In 2020, Internet service complaints ranked the third among all kinds of complaints accepted by Zhengzhou Consumers Association in the whole year, including 834 complaints and inquiries involving Zhengzhou Branch of Great Wall Broadband Network Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Great Wall Broadband"). The main problems that consumers reflected on "Great Wall Broadband" were: First, poor network signal; Second, the refund time is long, and the phenomenon of delaying and shirking is serious; Third, the calculation of refund is unreasonable; Fourth, in the case that broadband services cannot be guaranteed, we will continue to induce uninformed consumers to pay broadband fees. In response to consumer complaints, Zhengzhou Consumers Association has repeatedly talked about "Great Wall Broadband" and urged it to introduce solutions as soon as possible. Up to now, a large number of consumer complaints have been delayed.

Zhengzhou Consumers Association believes that "Great Wall Broadband" company’s internal management is lax, its service concept is not correct, its awareness of safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests is weak, and its principle of good faith management is weakened, which fails to fulfill its legal responsibility as the first person responsible for safeguarding consumer rights and interests, resulting in the infringement of consumers’ right to know, fair trade and claim. Therefore, Zhengzhou Consumers Association reminds consumers: In view of the fact that "Great Wall Broadband is easy to pay and difficult to protect rights", please carefully choose "Great Wall Broadband" service.

In addition, we should pay attention to the following points when choosing broadband services: First, we should choose carefully. Go to a regular, reputable and complete after-sales service communication operator, and don’t believe in small advertisements posted at roadside agents or on the street, as well as broadband services sold at home. The second is to pay attention to retaining contracts and consumption credentials. Sign a written contract, and don’t trust verbal promises easily. When signing a contract, you should carefully read the terms of the contract, ask for an invoice in time after payment, keep relevant consumption and transaction credentials, and try to avoid transferring service fees to personal accounts through WeChat or Alipay. The third is to protect rights according to the law. When consumers encounter disputes, they can safeguard their legitimate rights and interests by negotiating with operators, asking consumers’ associations for mediation, complaining to relevant administrative departments, and bringing a lawsuit to the people’s court.

Next, please ask reporters to ask questions about your concerns. Before asking questions, first inform your unit.

Dahe. com: In recent years, with the rise of live webcasting, there are more and more online shopping disputes. Can you briefly introduce this situation?

Luo Xiangyu

Online shopping is now a favorite consumption mode of our consumers, especially the rise of live webcasting with goods in recent two years, which has further promoted the network economy. But in fact, there is no big difference between webcasting and online shopping, both of which belong to remote shopping. Due to the rise of such remote shopping, consumer complaints are increasing day by day.

Taking 2020 as an example, the city’s 12315 system accepted about 15,000 online shopping complaints, accounting for nearly 20%. The main complaints are as follows: First, some anchors or platforms have exaggerated or false propaganda problems. If the goods are falsely described, the function and utility of the products are exaggerated; Promised concessions, gifts, etc. Second, some e-commerce operators delay or refuse to perform the contract. Such as arbitrarily cutting orders and refusing to deliver goods, and selling goods that are not on the right board. Third, some e-commerce operators do not undertake after-sales service obligations. If you don’t implement the "seven-day return without reason" rule and don’t fulfill the "three guarantees" obligation, etc.

According to the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests and the Measures for the Administration of Online Transactions, if consumers buy goods or receive services through online trading platforms, and their legitimate rights and interests are damaged, they can complain to the platform merchants and also to the third-party trading platforms, so consumers should first negotiate with the merchants or third-party platforms through themselves, and handling consumer disputes is also the legal obligation of the merchants and third-party platforms; If negotiation fails, consumers can complain to the market supervision department where the platform merchant is located, or the market supervision department where the third-party trading platform is located, call the local 12315 or make a complaint through the "National 12315 Internet Platform", and the market supervision department will accept it as soon as possible and deliver it to the jurisdiction for mediation of consumer rights protection. At the same time, violations of laws and regulations found in the process of online transactions can also be reported to the market supervision department, which will be investigated and verified by the jurisdiction and dealt with according to law.

Consumers are also reminded to choose formal and qualified e-commerce platforms and sellers with high credibility when shopping online; Before placing an order, you should read the product details, promotion rules, return and refund methods and after-sales service policies, etc. Don’t trust the advertisements of merchants or the sensational agitation of anchors with goods, and avoid impulsive consumption and passionate consumption. At the same time, when purchasing, you must choose a formal trading platform, inquire about the business qualifications of the business operators, understand the true attributes of the purchased goods, try to keep relevant transaction records, publicity records, service commitments, etc., and keep sales vouchers to avoid the inability to prove when problems arise. After a dispute arises, try to settle it through consultation. If it fails, you can complain to our market supervision department or consumer association, and our market supervision department will do its best to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Hong Kong Economic Herald: 3.15 is coming soon. Can you remind consumers of the problems that should be paid most attention to in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests according to the daily complaints received by consumers?

Chen Xiaoyan

According to the analysis of daily complaints, especially the cases of difficulties in safeguarding rights, we notice that if consumers can improve their awareness of safeguarding rights and self-protection, pay more attention to pre-consumption claims and conscientiously perform inspection responsibilities, then even if they encounter consumer disputes, whether they negotiate with operators to safeguard their rights or seek help from consumer associations or relevant departments, consumers who are "weak" can provide more powerful assistance for the settlement of consumer disputes, which is convenient for relevant departments to help consumers solve consumer disputes.

For example, we recently received a complaint: when a consumer bought food in a supermarket, the name of the food printed on the consumption certificate provided was inconsistent with the food he bought, and the price was also inconsistent. Such proof affected the consumer’s right to claim compensation after being infringed. In the consumption survey we carried out a few years ago, we also found that the name of the goods on some supermarkets’ printed receipts was inconsistent with the goods actually purchased. In this case, if consumers did not check carefully on the spot, they would not be able to provide effective proof in time when they suffered personal and property losses.

At present, consumers should pay attention to the consumer complaints when we buy goods or receive services in our daily life: for commodity consumption, we should take the initiative to obtain and keep the consumption credentials when we consume, and at the same time, we should pay attention to checking the machine-made receipts and invoices provided by operators on the spot to ensure that the names of the bills are consistent with the names of the purchased goods, the specifications and models are consistent, and the sales prices are consistent with the personal payment prices. For service consumption, such as beauty salons, body building, home improvement, education and training, accommodation and tourism, etc., in addition to paying attention to actively obtaining and retaining consumption credentials, we should sign a service agreement with the operator at the same time, and indicate or sign a supplementary agreement in the format contract for the personalized commitment service of the operator. Prevention in advance is a strong support for safeguarding rights after encountering problems!

This year, the City Consumers Association will also strengthen consumer publicity and education, carry out in-depth consumer publicity and education into community activities, send laws and regulations, rights protection methods and consumer warning tips to consumers, and make continuous efforts to improve the consumption environment in our city!

Elephant News: A few days ago, some media reported clues about the problem of bottled water. What measures did our regulatory authorities take? Can you introduce the specific situation of the investigation?

Zhou Fang

Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has always attached great importance to food safety supervision, including bottled water, and organized special rectification, supervision and sampling inspection of bottled water production for many years. The production conditions, food safety control ability and quality and safety level of bottled water production enterprises in the city have been continuously improved. On the morning of February 6th, the online media of Dongfang Jinbao published an article on "Insider Investigation of Bottled Water Fraud", which reflected that the illegal production and operation of bottled water in the market had not been completely eradicated. After learning the relevant public opinion information, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau attached great importance to it and acted quickly that morning to organize and investigate the relevant clues reflected by public opinion. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, the investigation of relevant clues was not relaxed, and the promotion meeting was held several times in a row to arrange the deployment, and the front-line supervision was organized to ensure that the investigation and rectification were in place.

On February 6th, the online media of Dongfang Jinbao reported that the main clues were that water shops directly sold tap water and groundwater privately. Individual bottled water sales points have poor sanitation; Individual bottled water products have no identification information such as manufacturer and address; There are hidden quality problems in barreled water buckets and lids.

In response to the clues reflected by the media, our bureau immediately set up a special working class, which is personally responsible by the main leaders and composed of relevant personnel such as food supervision, news propaganda, law enforcement inspection and the public security team stationed in the bureau. According to the problems and clues reflected by the media, we went to Jinshui District, Economic Development Zone, Guancheng District, Airport District, xinzheng city, zhongmou county and other places to conduct investigations one by one with the regulatory authorities of the jurisdiction, and investigate and deal with illegal acts in time.

After investigation, Aoquan bottled water store in Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone illegally filled bottled water without any logo without obtaining the food production and operation license. The store is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law and engaging in food production and business activities without permission. The market supervision department of Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has filed a case for investigation and punishment according to law, and made a penalty decision of confiscating 165,300 yuan. Currently, relevant administrative penalty procedures are being implemented.

The manufacturer of the "Yuzhiyang" bottled water involved in the report is Henan Yuzhiyang Beverage Co., Ltd., and its production address is Houwei Village, Xie Zhuang Town, Xiangyun Road Office, Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone, and it has not obtained the Food Production License. The company is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law and engaging in food production activities without permission. The market supervision department of Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has filed a case according to law, and based on the illegal facts and illegal income, it has made a penalty decision of confiscating 250,200 yuan, and is currently fulfilling relevant administrative punishment procedures.

Sun Ping ‘an Department Store in Mengzhuang Town, xinzheng city did not fulfill the obligation of incoming inspection when purchasing, and operated bottled drinking water with labels that did not meet the requirements. The market supervision department of xinzheng city ordered the parties to correct the illegal behavior, and gave them an administrative penalty of warning, confiscation of illegal income of 507.5 yuan and fine of 10,000 yuan.

Shigengxin bottled water service station in Jinshui District, Lanpei bottled water service station and Lantian water station in No.135 Buchang Street, Guancheng Huizu District have not obtained food business licenses, and the local market departments have ordered them to apply for registration certificates of small food shops within a time limit.

Other problems reflected by the media, food safety violations have not been found in the field verification.

In order to further strengthen the supervision of barreled drinking water production and business operation units and effectively ensure the food safety of the people, on February 10th, our bureau issued the "Special Remediation Plan for Barreled Drinking Water Production and Business Operation in 2021", arranged and deployed the special rectification work of barreled drinking water production and business operation for 10 months, and adopted measures such as special inspection, comprehensive sampling inspection, intensified disposal, and informing industry organizations to strengthen self-discipline, so as to standardize the production of barreled drinking water, severely investigate and punish unlicensed production, sales and illegal filling without permission. Since the implementation of the rectification, the city has dispatched more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and 383 law enforcement vehicles, inspected 720 bottled water production and business units, sampled 241 batches of bottled water and source water samples, found 35 problems, ordered 35 rectifications, put 4 cases on file for investigation, and banned 10 production sites suspected of illegally producing bottled water in conjunction with local governments.

In the next step, we will also give full play to the role of complaint reporting and unblock all kinds of complaint reporting channels such as 12315. Give full play to the management advantages of township (street) party committees and governments, such as being close to the masses, gridding, long-distance system and long-distance system, solve the problems of "black dens" in food production and operation, strong concealment of illegal and criminal acts, and difficulty in daily supervision, establish a long-term mechanism of "whistling at the grass-roots level and responding by departments" to find and deal with problems, and effectively improve the food safety level of the whole city.

On the Writing Skills of Patent Application Documents in China National Intellectual Property Administration Public Welfare Lecture

  In practice, a large number of inventions are protected by submitting patent applications and obtaining authorization. Therefore, the writing quality of patent application documents often affects whether the patentee can successfully defend his rights and resist competitors. In this paper, the author discusses the writing skills of patent application documents from the perspective of writing patent application documents.

  First, we should consider the appropriate scope of protection. The so-called "appropriate" scope of protection refers to obtaining as large a scope of protection as possible on the premise of complying with China’s patent law and its implementation rules.

  The author thinks that a patent application document can "predict" the comparison documents that may be retrieved, which is based on the full retrieval of domestic and foreign patent documents in the early stage of writing the patent application document, so as to determine the appropriate level of existing technology, construct an appropriate scope of protection, and make the patent more stable.

  In practice, the author found that many existing patent application documents only describe the technical scheme itself. The author believes that the process of writing patent application documents is a process of secondary creation, which requires the joint participation of inventors and patent agents to discuss various implementation methods to solve the technical problems involved in invention-creation, and determine the claims after summarizing and abstracting the technical characteristics of the implementation methods (upper generalization or functional limitation). And the upper generalization also needs as many examples as possible so that the claims can be supported by the specification. When judging the infringement, the functional features are interpreted as the specific embodiment disclosed in the specification and its equivalent embodiment, and the application of the equivalence rule is easy to have objections. Therefore, it is helpful to obtain a more appropriate scope of protection by excavating as many embodiments as possible in the writing stage of patent application documents.

  Second, when writing patent application documents, we should also consider it from the perspective of being conducive to infringement judgment. For example, based on principle of universal coverage, when writing the patent application file at first, only the most necessary technical feature set that can solve the technical problems of the invention needs to be written into the independent claim, and unnecessary technical features will only limit the narrowing of the protection scope. In practice, the name of the invention, the characteristics of the use environment, the technical characteristics of the product defined by the preparation method, and the step sequence of the method claim may limit the scope of patent protection, so it should be carefully considered when using it. If there are possibly ambiguous terms in the claim and they are not explained in the specification, it may cause obstacles to the interpretation of the subsequent claims.

  Third, the commercial prospects of patented products or methods should be considered. In the writing stage of patent application documents, patent agents may find that technical solutions can be applied to fields with more commercial prospects during the communication with inventors. For example, a technical scheme can be used in PC, but after understanding the existing technology, it is found that its application prospect in mobile terminal is very considerable, but it needs to be adjusted accordingly when applied in mobile terminal, so different technical schemes are produced, and the application strategy needs to be adjusted in time.

  Fourth, we should consider whether patents can be easily evaded by competitors. The patent agent can work with the applicant to develop possible improved technical solutions and possible deteriorated technical solutions. The improved technical solutions can be used as a "retreat" in the patent examination stage and may prevent competitors from submitting improved solutions to patent applications. According to the Guide to Determining Patent Infringement issued by Beijing Higher People’s Court, the deteriorated technical scheme does not constitute equivalent infringement, so the deteriorated technical scheme should also be considered when writing patent application documents.

  Fifth, it should be considered that it is conducive to obtaining evidence and safeguarding rights. If the applicant is engaged in the production of products, from the perspective of tort compensation, it may be more beneficial for the right holder to write patent application documents mainly against product manufacturers. This is because it is generally easier for sellers, importers and users of infringing products to prove the legal source of infringing products. In this case, it is advantageous to write the product and the claim of the preparation method of the product.

  In the fields of communication, network and computer, the applicant may face multiple infringing objects, and which infringing objects he hopes to resist is an important factor in determining his claim. Different claims can be designed for different infringing objects.

  Generally speaking, it is more beneficial to obtain evidence if you can know the technical characteristics of the product without disassembling it or using it by consumers. If you need reverse engineering to determine whether a product is infringing, you need to consider the difficulty of reverse engineering. For example, for related patents in the chemical field, the technical features that can be measured by ordinary measuring instruments or technologies are more conducive to obtaining evidence. For patents related to semiconductor and chip fields, if reverse engineering is easy to realize, components and their connection modes can be described. If reverse engineering is difficult to realize or the cost is high, it is necessary to consider whether it is necessary to change the writing method.

  Sixth, we should consider the layout strategy. When writing patent application documents, we should also pay attention to the role of dependent claims, that is, in addition to independent claims, other novel and creative technical features can be arranged in dependent claims to prevent competitors from evading design.

  At the same time, different levels of protection scope should be considered, and some patent application documents may be incompatible with certain technical features. At this time, independent claims with different protection scope can be considered to avoid giving up some protection scope due to modification. In addition, in some cases, the protection scope of the method claim can be different from that of the product claim, for example, the protection scope of the method claim can be greater than that of the product claim to achieve different levels of protection.

  Chinese applicants need to consider the relevant laws and regulations of different countries when writing patent application documents if they want to arrange patents abroad. When submitting an international patent application through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), due to the relatively limited space for modification, it is especially necessary to strictly check the priority documents.

  For example, when filing an American patent application, we should avoid too much self-admission and discussion about the existing technology. Because the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has a strict review of Antecedent Basis, patent Enablement and Written Description, it should be extra cautious when writing priority documents.
