Coffee, milk and red wine can all be ＂self-heated＂. Is ＂self-heated drink＂ a true blue ocean or a false proposition？

Editor’s note: This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account’s "New Consumer Daily" (Daily”(ID:NewConsumerDaily), and is written by Sober Zhang, published by 36Kr with authorization.

The winter solstice has passed, and the temperature in China is decreasing day by day, but one area is heating up: the hot drink market, especially the "self-heated drink".

From coffee and milk to milk tea and red wine, all kinds of drinks can be self-heated. What is the current performance of "self-heated drinks" in this winter limit? Who will buy "self-heating drinks"?

First of all, since the winter of 2020, the new consumer Daily has observed that three different brands have successively launched three different categories of self-heating drinks, covering milk, coffee and red wine.

At the end of November, Nongfu Spring’s charcoal coffee launched a self-heating set, which was equipped with a self-heating cup+self-heating bag set.

The self-heating principle of this self-heating coffee is similar to that of the self-heating chafing dish. The user will put the self-heating bag into the self-heating cup, inject a certain amount of water, then put in the drink, cover the cup and wait for 6-8 minutes to complete the "self-heating" process.

On December 7th, Jin Dian, a high-end dairy product, announced that it would launch a self-heating milk gift box.

It is understood that the self-heating mode of this product is "wireless hot charging" mode, which can heat the milk at 55 degrees Celsius in 15 minutes and keep the constant temperature for 3 hours. However, as of press time, this product has not been sold in its official flagship store.

At the beginning of the month, the founder of the wine brand Zui Goose Niang wrote in his official Weibo that Zui Goose Niang launched the "first self-heating jar of red wine in the universe". Just press the bottom button and shake the bottle immediately, and you can get a cup of hot red wine with appropriate temperature.

In addition to some new self-heating drinks in the winter of 2020, in 2019, there was such a little-known self-heating milk tea on the market: antler tip.

It is reported that the heating method of this self-heating milk tea is still using self-heating bag heating, which will provide consumers with "self-heating" necessities such as self-heating bag+purified water+tea powder bag+straw.

Compared with the self-heating drinks that have been born in the past month, "self-heating" is not a new word, but when most of us mention the word "self-heating", they are often followed by food such as "hot pot" and "covered rice".

Looking back at 2020, which is coming to an end, "self-heating" has also led the trend of the food market.

The outbreak of the epidemic at the beginning of the year made self-heating hot pot, self-heating rice and other self-heating foods popular in every household. This is a joy beyond the "epidemic" of the self-heating market. After the heat, it also attracted capital injection: in May 2020 alone, cannibals and Mo Xiaoxian, two food brands with self-heating hot pot as their main products, completed tens of millions of A rounds of financing, and Zigui Pot completed more than 100 million yuan of B rounds of financing in May.

Although compared with the heated self-heating food market, drinks are lacking in the self-heating market, to some extent, self-heating drinks are located between the self-heating market and the ready-to-drink hot drink market.

However, after the appearance and fierceness of self-heating food made consumers more familiar with the concept of "self-heating", "self-heating beverage" met the booming hot beverage market in China.

According to public information, the scale of hot drinks market in China has exceeded 100 billion yuan, covering soybean milk, fruit juice, original tea beverage, milk tea, coffee, almond dew, walnut dew and so on. At the same time, the 2018 consumer beverage temperature preference index shows that 54.7% of consumers will choose hot drinks as drinks in winter.

Although for most beverages, the cold winter is often the off-season, consumers, especially those in China, obviously have a demand for hot drinks, and brands have also realized this and started to meet the needs of consumers.

According to the observation of the new consumption Daily, both the cutting-edge beverage brands and the traditional beverage companies have made different layouts for the (ready-to-drink) hot beverage market:

Yuanqi Senli introduced a new product of Yuanqi forest milk tea mini, and the package was thickened and reinforced with multiple ribs, which greatly improved the heat resistance and stability of the bottle and could meet the needs of beverage heating.

Since October 2020, Coca-Cola Company has successively introduced a variety of hot drinks in winter, including Coca-Cola Ginger+,COSTA Cafe Family English black tea latte milk tea drink, Minute Maid cinnamon warm pear fruit drink, etc.

Suntory Beverage also launched an upgraded series of warm drinks in winter, including sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored Liqu milk tea, honey-scented fruit tea, classic sugar-free oolong tea, Liqu latte and other products.

It can be seen that although the beverage market has entered the stage of fierce competition, there is still a broad market for ready-to-drink hot drinks.

After all, in the current development of ready-to-drink hot drinks, no single product or brand has ever become bigger and stronger, and it can successfully seize the big cake under the appearance of the so-called "off-season of winter drinks". As long as the demand has not been met, there will be unlimited market potential. Coca-Cola, Nongfu Spring and Yuanqi Forest all have insight into this. As far as the current development is concerned, the market of "self-heated drinks" can be said to be "blank".

After talking about the market, let’s look at the audience. To some extent, the "high-order demand" of consumers also gives the space for the emergence and development of self-heating drinks.

First of all, as the beverage temperature preference index shows, consumers in China always prefer warm or normal temperature foods and beverages, because they are considered to be less irritating to the digestive system and beneficial to health.

Secondly, self-heating drinks allow consumers to achieve "hot drink freedom" to some extent.

In particular, compared with the traditional method, you need to find water by yourself and brew it by yourself before you can get the fragrant, delicious and isokinetic products of hot drinks.

When you walk on the street where you can’t find a convenience store, take out a cup of self-heating milk from your bag; Or in the early hours of overtime, take out a cup of self-heating coffee. To a certain extent, this has expanded and provided consumers with more convenient hot drink usage scenarios.

Now, let’s briefly understand the "long" and "simple" history of self-heating drinks.

The reason why it is "long" is that self-heating drinks have actually appeared in the market for nearly 20 years. In 2001, the old coffee giant Nestle developed a "self-heating" coffee drink called "Nescafe Hot When You Want".

The principle is that water and quicklime are placed in the interlayer of the tank respectively, and heat is generated through chemical reaction. After pressing the button at the bottom, consumers can drink 60-degree hot coffee within three minutes.

However, after the market test, the heat of this self-heating tank will not meet the demand in cold weather; Moreover, the equipment occupies a large container, with only 7 ounces of coffee in an 11-ounce container, which makes consumers disappointed.

In the end, just one year later, Nestle gave up this product.

With the rapid development of the "self-heating" market in recent years, more and more beverage companies have begun to explore new directions of self-heating drinks, and more and more self-heating black technologies have begun to appear in the beverage market.

For example, in 2017, HeatGenie, a developer of self-heating technology, developed a self-heating canned beverage. Its self-heating equipment used aluminum and silicon dioxide with safer and more efficient heat energy as reaction heat sources, and the heating materials of the new self-heating technology only accounted for one tenth of the bottles and cans.

In 2018, the company received $6 million in financing. In 2019, it was renamed as HeatGen, which upgraded its new appearance and heating method. It can start heating by upgrading from the previous rotating bottle cap to the rotating bottom cover. When the temperature is suitable, it can stop heating by pulling the can ring.

Pull the timeline back to the present, 20 years later, when the technical problem of self-heating drinks is no longer a problem, what about their market performance?

The self-heating red wine of Drunken Goose Niang was sold in limited quantities. Although it attracted attention when it was launched, a month later, this convenient self-heating red wine did not cause a "sensation" in the market.

Nongfu Spring’s self-heating coffee and self-heating cup have been partially praised, but it is inevitable that some consumers will leave a message saying: "The taste of coffee after heating is average, and the acidity and bitterness are relatively dull. The self-heating cup is too simple. " And "not bad, how to say, more heating, less a bottle. "Equal evaluation;

As for Jin Dian, the milk gift box with black technologies such as intelligent identification and unlimited hot charging was promoted on December 7th, but before the press release, this Versailles milk has not been officially sold.

Finally, the self-heating milk tea that appeared in 2019, now open Taobao to search for "self-heating milk tea", can not be said to have disappeared, but obviously there is no sense of existence in the market, in fact, the reasons can be traced.

The laudatory name is "self-heating milk tea", but to some extent, it is still old wine in new bottles. After all, when you want to drink a cup of hot milk tea, you need to finish it: take out the milk tea, open the package, tear open the self-heating bag and the bagged water, and then finish the brewing. The above series of operations are obviously too complicated, and it can’t even be called that milk tea is "self-heating". It is better to brew a cup of fragrance to save time and effort.

This is why the history of "self-heating drinks" is "simple": Nestle self-heating coffee, which was scrawled in 2001, or antler tip self-heating milk tea, which was "tepid" two years ago, and milk, red wine and other products with mediocre market performance now.

Although instant hot drinks are a new trend, the function of "self-heating" has not aroused much splash in the market.

"If the whole world uses the same old method to create wealth, it will not create wealth, but a disaster." In "From 0 to 1", PayPal founder peter teale said.

Undeniably, the innovation and appearance of self-heating drinks have met the needs of some segmented consumers, expanded the scene of ready-to-drink hot drinks to some extent, and filled the gap in the market of self-heating drinks.

However, judging from the performance of self-heating drinks in the past 20 years, it is not difficult to understand why such a product that meets the segmentation field has not become an "explosive product" in the end: self-heating drinks can only meet the needs of a limited group of people within a limited time and in a limited way.

At the same time, even simple ready-to-drink hot drinks require sufficient investment in materials, channels and configurations, not to mention "self-heated drinks" that require a higher technical threshold.

It is precisely because of this "limitation" and "high threshold" that for many big brands, self-heating drinks may be just a way for them to try to be closer to consumers and use the gimmick of "self-heating" to market and increase market volume. But after all, it is: it is tasteless to eat, and it is not a pity to abandon it.

For some young brands, self-heating drinks can’t be their main source of revenue, and the hunger marketing method of "limited sale" may be the best choice.

"The demand for hot drinks is mainly concentrated in winter and spring. According to different geographical locations, there are regional differences in the peak sales. The peak sales of hot drinks in the north can last for about 6 months, and the area south of the Yangtze River is basically about 3 months. Whether it is for the offline warm cabinet layout, channel implementation, or the product itself, (hot drinks) put forward higher requirements for us. " This is the Coca-Cola Company’s consideration for the layout of "hot drinks".

If the warm drink in winter is widely expected and the warm drink market still has certain potential, then after the uproar, the drink that can realize "self-heating" is only a false proposition.

Chevrolet 06 Corvette Z06 is about RMB 540,000.

News from Detroit, Michigan, the price of 06 Z06 was announced yesterday. This car has a maximum horsepower of 505 HP, and it only takes 3.7 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h when it is in first gear. The new Z06 will be the fastest Corvette ever. The starting price of this car is $65,800 (about RMB540,000).




be in common useEd Peper, general manager of Chevrolet Branch, said: "Corvette is of great value as a world-class sports car, and it is a classic all over the world. This fastest production version of Corvette can be provided to consumers at such a price, which once again proves its good reputation. When you compare the performance of the Corvette Z06 with other supercars, you will find that this car is better than the competitive models in many places, but the price is only one third of them. "




Previous generations of Corvette Z06-from the original version in 1963 to the version in 2001-2004, the engine was gradually upgraded on the basis of the original model, but the 06 Z06 is very different from other Z06 in history. This car is completely updated. It uses a lot of light materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, titanium and magnesium, and its curb weight is 1420 kg (.




This car is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of this year, and its addition will make the sixth-generation Corvette car series a perfect ending.





Wolf Whispering: The 06 Corvette Z06 can be said to improve the overall performance of Corvette to a new level. Its 7.0-liter V8 engine has a power of 505 horsepower. While continuing to write the myth of Corvette, this car is also in the forefront of its class. I believe it will be enthusiastically sought after by fans after listing.

Can meal replacement food successfully lose weight？ The data of 145 obese people tell you the truth.

Yangcheng Evening News Reporter Liu Xinyu and Xue Renzheng reported that May 11th is the World Obesity Prevention Day. The "meal replacement diet" is particularly popular in spring and summer every year. According to the data of "Shop Monster", the daily sales volume of meal replacement products can even reach 100,000+,and the unit price ranges from 28-140 yuan. Many netizens who tried to lose weight with meal replacement products said that they didn’t lose weight after eating many meal replacement products and spent a lot of money. The reporter interviewed Deng Yuhong, director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, and obtained the "meal replacement" data of 145 obese people to see the real effectiveness of meal replacement to lose weight.

　　Data:

　　Meal replacement is really effective in losing weight.

　　Deng Yuhong introduced that in hospital clinical practice, meal replacement (mainly in meal replacement powder) is indeed an auxiliary means to lose weight.

　　This assistive device was also completely recorded by her team and published in the journal of General Medicine of China. The team took 145 patients (36 males and 109 females) who came to the hospital from June 2015 to January 2017 as the research object, with an average age of (34.2 10.9) years and a body weight of (81.09±15.84)kg. 28.0kg/m2）。

　　The whole weight-loss experiment lasted for six months, and the purpose was to study the weight-loss effect of the diet mode with low carbohydrate and high nutritional density. Among them, in the first three months, the low-carbohydrate mode was adopted, that is, rice flour and other high-starch foods were restricted. In order to reduce hunger, meal replacement powder was used together. After three months, the success rate of weight loss was 60.0%, which produced obvious early weight loss effect.

　　"Whether it is psychological or substantive, from the clinical observation, the role of meal replacement in weight loss is indeed not small." Deng Yuhong further explained that first of all, meal replacement has a sense of ritual, reminding himself that "now I am losing weight and can’t eat more". Secondly, increase satiety and reduce appetite. Meal replacement powder generally adds konjac flour, whey protein powder, soybean protein powder, dietary fiber, etc. Of course, some fats and carbohydrates provide basic calories, which can fight hunger after eating.

　　Reminder:

　　Long-term blind eating meal replacement has side effects

　　It is worth mentioning that this study tried to follow up patients after one year, but the loss rate was too high. It is pointed out that the patient’s withdrawal may reflect the patient’s intolerance to this dietary pattern. Deng Yuhong also said that in fact, in the actual research, the loss rate of weight loss projects has been high, ranging from 15% to 50%.

　　Deng Yuhong said that the ordinary balanced diet pattern is the long-term eating habit of Chinese people. Once it changes, such as reducing staple food, it begins to try "half-generation meal" (instead of one meal) or even "full-generation meal" (instead of all meals). The stronger the degree of intolerance, the weaker the execution, because people are born to pursue diversified diets and everyone’s physical condition is different, but the weight loss gimmicks of businesses are often "simple and rude".

　　"For example, there used to be a company that made meal replacement food, which required that every meal must be meal replacement, only 700 calories a day, and it must be eaten for a month, which of course would be thin. But the problem is that most people will fall into ‘ Yo-yo ’ Effect, eating meal replacement, the overall intake of calories is less, and the weight is down; Stopped the meal replacement and gained weight again. The harm caused by the rebound is self-evident. "

　　Doctors remind that the cost of educating the masses is often high, especially it takes time and energy to let everyone know about the dangers of obesity and popularize how to eat a balanced and healthy diet. However, many businesses often skip this step. In order to maximize profits, they often take advantage of people’s weakness of wanting to lose weight in the short term and publicize the effectiveness of weight loss products. They need to be more vigilant and do not recommend sacrificing health. After all, many meal replacement products have very few calories, and there are many side effects in the long run, especially women are prone to endocrine disorders and anorexia.

　　Doctors suggest that ordinary people can check whether they are really obese by calculating BMI and going to the hospital for physical examination, ignoring this step and blindly losing weight with the wind, thus damaging their own metabolic rate, which may have been superior, but it is not worth the candle.

Beijing： During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, domestic waste will be classified in a timely and compulsory manner.

　　Cctv newsA few days ago, the press conference on the interpretation of urban management development planning in Beijing during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period announced that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Beijing will study the introduction of compulsory classification of domestic waste in due course.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Management Committee said that in the past, garbage classification was mainly based on encouragement, and this is the first time that the concept of compulsory garbage classification has been incorporated into the plan.

one

　　According to the development plan, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Beijing will focus on "resource recovery, dry and wet separation" and study and promote the compulsory classification of domestic waste in a timely manner. In June this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly issued the Scheme of Compulsory Garbage Classification System (Draft for Comment), proposing that domestic garbage in key cities will be effectively classified by the end of 2020. In key cities that implement compulsory classification of domestic waste, the coverage rate of classified collection of domestic waste is over 90%, and the recycling rate of domestic waste is over 35%.

　　China’s municipal solid waste has increased nearly 6 times in 30 years.

　　The report "Assessment of Urban Domestic Waste Management in China" released in 2015 shows that the amount of urban domestic waste removal in China is large and growing rapidly, from 25.08 million tons in 1979 to 170.81 million tons in 2012, an increase of nearly six times in 30 years.

one

　　Wang Weiping, Deputy Chief Engineer of Beijing Urban Management Committee.The population of cities is increasing rapidly, especially in cities like Beijing. There were 7 million people in Beijing 30 years ago, but now there are 23 million people. The result of the rapid increase of urban population is more and more garbage.

　　Reporter’s observation: the garbage classification based on advocacy has little effect.

　　In fact, as early as June 2000, eight cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Guilin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen, had been identified as national pilot cities for garbage collection. Garbage classification can be said to have been advocated for many years, but is the actual effect obvious?

　　Since Beijing began a new round of garbage sorting promotion in 2010, the number of garbage sorting pilot communities has been increasing, from 600 in the first year to more than 3,000 now, accounting for more than half of the residential communities in the city. Although the number of pilot communities is increasing greatly, the actual effect of garbage sorting is not obvious. In the interview, the reporter found that few people take the initiative to do garbage sorting.

one

　　Cleaning staff: There is still an unconscious difference. Some people pour kitchen waste into the bucket of other garbage, and we have to separate this when we work.

　　No special person is responsible for clearing and transportation, and resource recovery is not complete.

　　Judging from the garbage categories in the pilot areas of garbage sorting in many places in China, although there are nominally three categories: kitchen waste, recyclable and other garbage, in fact, there are only two categories that the municipal sanitation department is responsible for sorting, collecting and transporting: kitchen waste and other garbage, that is, "dry and wet sorting".

　　That is to say, at present, it is only a dummy sorting bucket for recyclable materials, and there is no special person responsible for cleaning and transportation. Basically, garbage sorting is realized by cleaning staff and scavengers who pick up and sell waste products. This makes the recycling rate of materials with low economic value low and the resource recycling incomplete.

　　Professor Liu Jianguo of Tsinghua University Institute of Environment.When we talk about garbage sorting, we all say that our goal is to reduce the amount and then recycle the resources. However, judging from the practice of promoting garbage sorting in various places in recent years, I think these two goals have basically failed and have not been well realized.

one

　　Wang Weiping, Deputy Chief Engineer of Beijing Urban Management Committee.The national circular economy promotion law was promulgated in 2008, which means that we should recycle a lot of resources. So what are the benefits of recycling? We can save a lot of natural resources and leave them for future generations to develop. This is called sustainable development. The first purpose of garbage sorting is to save resources.

　　Systems and measures need to be promoted simultaneously.

　　Reasonable garbage classification can not only effectively reduce the cost of garbage disposal, but also play an active role in promoting garbage reduction and recycling.

　　Experts believe that the compulsory classification of domestic waste proposed by Beijing can make more people pay attention to the problem of waste management and realize their responsibilities. At the same time, supporting laws, regulations, systems and measures need to be promoted simultaneously.

　　Kitchen waste is the main component of domestic waste.

　　According to experts, the composition of domestic waste in China is different from that in some developed countries, and its main feature is high content of degradable kitchen waste and high moisture content. Kitchen waste is the main component of domestic waste, accounting for 60-mdash; About 65%.

one

　　Professor Liu Jianguo of Tsinghua University Institute of Environment.The water content of these things in kitchen waste is relatively high, and the wet garbage brings many problems to the subsequent treatment. After entering the landfill, there are many perishable things, and there are problems with odor and leachate. After arriving at the incineration plant, because the garbage is wet, the level of secondary pollution control of incineration will have some adverse effects, and the moisture content of garbage should be reduced.

　　Experts suggest that the main goal of classified collection of domestic garbage at this stage should be to reduce the moisture content of garbage and improve the resource and energy recovery efficiency of the treatment system and the level of secondary pollution control.

one

　　Professor Liu Jianguo of Tsinghua University Institute of Environment.: Some simple drainage measures can be taken at the front end. In fact, when the moisture content is reduced, the amount of garbage will be reduced. If it can be reduced by three or four percentage points, the amount of garbage can be reduced to about 10%.

　　Measures to compulsorily improve all aspects of garbage disposal

　　Garbage disposal is a complete system. Classified collection, classified transportation, classified treatment and classified utilization must be connected and matched with each other in order to achieve the classification effect. Experts believe that in the initial stage, it is difficult to coordinate the promotion of classified collection with the construction of classified transportation, treatment and facilities.

one

　　Wang Weiping, Deputy Chief Engineer of Beijing Urban Management Committee.: It turns out that our garbage is classified. Why? Because we don’t have the means to transport, treat and recycle separately. Therefore, after the residents have worked hard to divide them, they are all dragged away together, which means that the follow-up industrial chain and facilities construction of garbage sorting can’t be done, but later we have this means. With the rapid growth of urban population, the amount of garbage has soared, and the quality of people is uneven. There is neither severe punishment nor attractive benefits. It depends entirely on awareness and the effect is not ideal. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to force classification.

one

　　Incorporate compulsory classification of garbage sources into the law

　　The report "Assessment of Urban Domestic Waste Management in China" suggests that the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste should be revised, and the compulsory classification of waste sources should be incorporated into the law, and the classification objects, classification and delivery methods, reward and punishment measures should be clearly defined in the laws and regulations to ensure the effective implementation of waste classification.

　　Wang Weiping, Deputy Chief Engineer of Beijing Urban Management Committee.: first of all, start from the unit, and you will be punished if you don’t do well. Then, under the premise of proper guidance, residents should also consider recording bad records, which will affect their future employment, further studies, visas abroad, etc. This is also a compulsory measure.

Application-oriented jobs pay higher, and technical school ＂returning＂ college students account for 20% of the students.

　　It seems that it is an inevitable choice for parents to enter key high schools and then enter universities. Only children with poor grades will choose to attend vocational high schools and technical schools. However, I don’t know since when, especially in the last two years, more and more people have dropped out of college, resigned from high-paying jobs and returned to technical schools. They have obviously entered the ivory tower of the university, or have a stable income, but they have chosen to go to vocational colleges to take classes again. Are college students and white-collar workers going back to technical schools to follow the trend or go upstream? Is it overtaking in the corner or changing course?

　　I graduated with an annual salary of 100 thousand

　　Resignation learning "top spoon" burns out the gold medal "braised pork handed down from generation to generation"

　　On the afternoon of the 7th, it was hot in Nanjing. Li Yang, an apprentice, is stirring a spoon in the kitchen of Nanjing New Oriental cooking school. Before coming to New Oriental, Li Yang was a mechanical technology developer with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan. But he was not satisfied with the job and then resigned, which made many people unable to understand. Li Yang told Zi Niu journalist that he had a keen interest in cooking since he was a child. "After the college entrance examination, I wanted to apply for food-related majors. However, when I was a village cadre, my grandfather, who has always been strong at home, resolutely opposed it. " Li Yang looked helpless, and later his family helped him fill in the mechanical design major. Suffering from lack of financial ability, he struggled, but he had to bite the bullet and study for four years in a major that he was not interested in.

　　After graduating from a college in Yangzhou in 2012, Li Yang found a fairly good job, which corresponded to his major in the university. In three and a half years, he was promoted and raised twice. But childhood dreams are always lingering in my mind. "There is no distinction between high and low dreams." In September 2015, Li Yang resigned and came to this culinary institute. He used his savings to pay tuition for two years. Li Yang’s parents were shocked, and his grandfather directly said that he was "messing around". For this reason, Li Yang and his parents had a cold war for a month. "In fact, my family is not very good, and my father has a disability. It stands to reason that at this age, I should work hard, get married as soon as possible, and support my family. " When it comes to family responsibilities, the 27-year-old boy feels a little guilty. "But I really don’t want to regret my 25-year-old choice at the age of 35." Interest is the best teacher. During the two years of learning to cook Chinese food, Li Yang made great achievements. He won the gold medal in the competition "Looking for braised pork handed down from generation to generation" organized by China Hotel Association. Li Yang said that after making some achievements, family attitudes began to change.

　　Facing employment, Li Yang is very pragmatic. He said that he doesn’t have to work in a star-rated hotel. He just needs to choose a company that can really accept his ideas and put them into practice. At present, he plans to go to a chain of social catering enterprises to exercise for a few years. "Try to be a chef in five to eight years. If you can meet like-minded friends in the future, it is of course the best to open your own shop." Li Yang said with a smile.

　　Give up college automobile engineering major

　　Drop out of school to study auto repair and want to be a "mechanic"

　　Wang Tian, an 18-year-old, is a student of Wantong Automobile College. As an adult, he is a student in a university in southern Jiangsu, majoring in automobile service and engineering. When Zi Niu news reporter saw him, he was absorbed in sticking film on the car in the classroom, and repeatedly and tirelessly smoothed the solar film with a scraper.

　　Wang Tian said that he especially liked cars since he was a child, especially Mercedes-Benz. "My goal now is to go to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store after graduation." When it comes to his beloved Mercedes, Xiao Wang’s eyes are full of light. "My family’s economic conditions are acceptable, which is more than enough, but it is not enough to support my dream at present — — Have your own Mercedes-Benz. Learning auto repair, I feel closer to my dream. In the future, I will not only repair Mercedes, but also drive Mercedes. " An internship experience in my hometown impressed Wang Tian deeply. "An accident car with only a body, the master adds a wheel here, a seat there, and parts bit by bit, just for three days, ‘ New car ’ Come back, do you think magic is not magic, like transformers? " Recalling the first time I saw how the master assembled the car, Xiao Wang’s excitement was beyond words.

　　Zi Niu journalist wondered why he didn’t continue to study automobile engineering in colleges and universities, but went to this auto repair training school. Xiao Wang’s reason is that his school’s auto repair professional level is average, with more theoretical teaching and fewer practical courses. There is only one broken Santana in the training vehicle, and there is very little to learn. "But now it’s different. I can get in touch with my favorite trident. After I finish my studies, the school can also recommend it to the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop." When it comes to the future, Xiao Wang’s eyes are shining. Wang Tian said that he would not go back to his old school. He didn’t care about his education. "Now I am advocating the spirit of artisans. I just want to be the best mechanic."

　　Undergraduates are frustrated in job hunting.

　　Start a new stove, learn from computers and find your ideal job

　　Xiao Zhu started real estate sales in Wuhan in 2013 after graduating from a second college majoring in finance and economics. But after half a year, he found that the job was not very stable and the salary was not high, which was about 2000 yuan. Xiao Zhu wants to change his job, but he finds that his education is not enough. He can only find a job with similar income after looking around. Xiao Zhu, who was frustrated in his job search, came to a conclusion that people still have to have a skill.

　　In May 2014, he quit his job and returned to his hometown of Nanjing. After a simple market research, I spent 13,000 yuan in a computer college in Nanjing to start learning java in all directions.

　　Xiao Zhu told reporters that the school signed an employment security agreement with itself when registering. "The school will provide a job with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan after graduation. I thought this salary was acceptable at the time, and this kind of guarantee also made me feel more at ease. " Mr. Zhu said that after graduating from Computer College in 2015, he successfully found a job with a monthly salary of 8,500 yuan in a software company in Jiangning District, Nanjing.

　　"I can’t find this job if I don’t study in the Computer College." He said frankly, "Vocational schools train our special skills. Without this condition, we can’t enter the current company." Now that he has been engaged in programming for two years, he feels more and more competent for this job.

　　Technical school statistics

　　"Returned" college students account for 20%-30% of the students.

　　Teacher Liu of Nanjing Xinhua Computer College told the reporter that in recent years, more and more college students have "returned to the furnace" in vocational schools. According to their statistics, the number of college students who have "returned to the furnace" in technical schools this year has increased by about 20% compared with the same period last year. The number of college students accounts for 1/5 of the total number of students. In order to adapt to this trend, many vocational schools have set up special classes for college students.

　　Teacher Liu told the reporter that college students in "Recycle" vocational schools have stronger self-management ability and learning ability than junior and senior high school graduates who attend vocational schools directly. Because most people have their own clear goals, such as starting their own business after their studies.

　　According to the enrollment staff of Wantong Automobile, among the more than 1,000 students in the school, the proportion of college students’ training is over 30%. These students from colleges and universities are mainly concentrated in the two majors of high-end brand specialization and sheet metal beauty; After short-term training, most of these students have the idea of starting their own businesses. Compared with the same period last year, the number of college students enrolled in this school has increased by about 10%.

　　Expert opinion

　　The salary of application posts has increased, and "returning to the furnace" is also normal.

　　Wen Tao, director of the Taishan Campus of Nanjing Cooking Technician School in New Oriental and director of the Employment Guidance Center, believes that the number of college students who choose to "return to the furnace" vocational schools is rising, which is due to various reasons.

　　"The well-known reason is that some colleges and universities’ professional settings are derailed from the market, and the majors that train applied talents focus on theoretical teaching, and the practical links are not enough." Wen Tao said: "When I talked with the heads of human resources departments of many enterprises, their general view was that some college students now have only diplomas and lack professional skills. In fact, the most scarce thing for enterprises at present is high-skilled applied talents. "

　　"In addition, college students are becoming more and more pragmatic." Wen Tao told Zi Niu news reporter that graduates of ordinary colleges and universities often have low salaries and unclear personal development prospects when they first get employed. From the current point of view, the salary of applied positions is higher, and it is normal logic for some people to choose "returning to the furnace".

　　Hu Xiaowu, vice president of the Urban Science Research Institute of Nanjing University, also pointed out that some employers expect too much from newly recruited college students, and they always hope that newly recruited college students can use them when they arrive. Dean Hu said: "I am personally worried about this phenomenon. I hope that in the future, employers will be more tolerant of new college students and strengthen skills training during the novitiate. It is also suggested that college students who are about to face employment should strengthen their skills learning and improve their application ability during school. "

　　Say one more word

　　Put down "face" and choose "lining"

　　Being a blue collar is also worthy of respect.

　　It is not a simple case for college students to "return to the furnace" to receive "re-education" in technical schools. According to the sampling survey conducted by Zi Niu journalists, more than 20% to 30% of the students in technical schools are college students. This is actually the hand of the market at work, and it is also the natural choice for college students to "survive the fittest" in the face of employment. This is an improvement in concept.

　　Whether you choose to continue your studies after graduating from college, get a higher degree, continue on the road of "elite education", or choose to receive vocational education in a technical school, and be willing to become a blue-collar worker from a white-collar worker, it is worthy of respect. Even if we "return to the technical school", I’m afraid we can’t simply think that the university has gone for nothing. With the foundation of the university, technical school students who have received university education may be able to accumulate wealth and forge "craftsmen" in the new era. There are thousands of roads to success, and it is a good choice to choose the road that suits you and makes you happy.

Adult animation unsuitable for children： full of humanistic care and fate pity

Original Ariane Yinke Aesthetics

As a comprehensive art form, animation not only exists in our childhood memories, but also occupies a part of many people’s adult movies.

Many animated films will bring people a lot of thoughts, including life, affection and growth, as well as ethics and choice …

Here, the president recommended ten popular animations worth watching, so hurry up and collect them.

PERSEPOLIS

Persepolis

# Self-growth under the Change of Iran

Douban score: 8.7

Year: 2007

Length: 96 minutes

Keywords: biographical history

Persepolis is adapted from the cartoon of the same name by Iranian female illustrator Marjane Satrapi. The animation tells the story of Majia from a little girl to an adult in an autobiographical form of laughter and tears.

As a child, Majia lived in the vigorous revolutionary era, which is very similar to the crazy and absurd sixties and seventies of our country. The adults were always in fear, while the children were excited, as if playing games. They had their own unique eyes and strange perspectives on the world.

Pursue the comfort of love, return to the arms of parents, settle down in marriage, or enrich yourself in the process of learning from books. Ma Jia went through them one by one, but most of them came back disappointed. Finally, she went abroad again and immigrated to France.

The highlight of the film is that the cartoonist uses the ingenuity of a woman to infiltrate political history into a story of a woman’s growth, maintaining the temperament of an innocent little girl and a pure perspective. In addition, the cartoon style combines traditional art with modern art, showing an Iranian woman’s rebellion in black and white and liberation in self-mockery.

▲ Douban CammyWhite:

France is not beautiful, but she still returned to France. Iran is not beautiful, but she still said that she is from Iran.

Douban score: 9.0

Year: 2006

Length: 90 minutes

Keywords: suspense humanity

If Miyazaki Hayao discussed the themes of childhood, dreams and love, then Jin Min discussed the themes of obsession, humanity and social care.

In order to treat the mental illness of modern human beings, at the beginning of the film, police officer Fenchuan and red pepper shuttled through different scenes with different images, and experienced dreams synchronously with patients, and launched a fantastic and thrilling struggle.

After reading the works directed by Jin Min, it is not difficult to find that Jin Min is ruthless. His animation films have always been adult-oriented, and have strong humanistic care and compassion for individual destiny.

▲ Douban Eve.W:

If Inception is shot by engineering students, it is full of logic, mathematics and reasoning, which is extremely clever. Then, red pepper is like a shot by a liberal arts student, and it is a real dream.

Year: 1997

Length: 81 minutes

Keywords: thriller dream

The story begins with the protagonist Weima giving up her idol singer and becoming an actress. With the promotion of the plot, Wuma’s image subverts our initial understanding of her.

The second half of the film has been alternating between the illusion of numbness and the real bloody case around her, and occasionally there is a shot of a crazy fan with a horrible face.

It is worth mentioning that Jin Min, the director, is good at using the alternating technique of reality and illusion to make the animation film to the extreme, but unfortunately, there are not many works left by Jin Min.

▲ Douban: queer as folk Chinese

I was so frightened that my hair stood on end. Jin Min is the david lynch of animation! The switch between reality and reality is amazing.

27-year-old Miao Zi took a car to his brother-in-law’s home for a holiday in the countryside. From time to time along the way, she recalled her 10-year-old self, who was willful and often bullied by her sister, a young Miao Zi surrounded by her budding feelings, and a self troubled by her youth growth. A youthful memory slowly surfaced.

Perhaps every successful film has almost one or two classic lines: "Which do you prefer, sunny, cloudy or rainy?" A seemingly irrelevant question and answer embodies many unspeakable thoughts. I’m afraid only Guangtian, a handsome boy of the school baseball team, and Miao Zi, an ordinary little girl, know it.

30,000 tons of garbage was thrown behind the Yangtze River： illegal dumping of criminal chains for profiteering.

　　Why 30,000 tons of garbage was thrown into the Yangtze River?

　　— — Investigation on "Dumping Case in the Yangtze River Estuary"

　　Taicang section of the Yangtze River, the river is wide, the river is mighty, and ships come and go like a shuttle. The rushing river washed a small amount of floating garbage to the shore. This season, compared with the peak period in summer, the river surface looks clean. But a year ago, on December 13th, 2016, the Taicang section of the Yangtze River was covered with garbage.

　　Where does the garbage come from? Why was it thrown into the Yangtze River? A year later, the relevant procuratorial organs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang successively prosecuted this illegal dumping case of domestic garbage, and a criminal chain of taking domestic garbage as a "resource" and taking garbage disposal fees for profiteering was also uncovered.

　　Recently, the reporter of Economic Information Daily conducted an in-depth investigation on the criminal chain of illegal dumping of garbage in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and found that there are serious loopholes in the supervision of domestic garbage disposal, such as fraud in bidding, fraud in receiving disposal certificates, and subcontracting of garbage at different levels. Under the background of "garbage besieged city", these problems exposed by the case have important warning significance for other cities in China.

　　About 30,000 tons of garbage were thrown into the Yangtze River.

　　Harmful substances exceed the standard by 30 thousand times

　　"I have never seen so much rubbish, red, black and white … … All kinds of discarded plastic bags and plastic bottles rise and fall with Jiang Tao, and some medical wastes are mixed in between. The bank slope is also covered with garbage washed up by the river, which is many times more than the daily garbage. " After a year, Xu Yihui, the captain of the Second Sea Patrol Law Enforcement Brigade of Taicang Maritime Safety Administration, still remembers it.

　　In the deep winter festival, the amount of garbage floating on the river has increased abnormally in recent days, which has aroused Xu Yihui’s vigilance. After the situation was reported, Taicang Maritime Safety Administration suspected that there were ships illegally dumping garbage, so it secretly deployed to search for suspicious ships.

　　On the morning of December 18, 2016, Qin Liyong, supervisor of the Second Sea Patrol Law Enforcement Brigade of Taicang Maritime Safety Administration, and his colleagues found two ships being washed at the mouth of Yanglin River. "This is not an anchorage. It is reasonable that these two ships should not anchor here." Qin Liyong recalled, "We approached the inspection, smelled rancid, and found that it was actually a suspicious ship littering."

　　Subsequently, Taicang Police Station of Suzhou Branch of Changjiang Shipping Public Security Bureau took over the case. After the trial, the owners of the two ships confessed that the night before, they sailed the ship to the middle of the river, turned off all the electronic equipment and lights on board, and threw about 2,000 tons of garbage from the two ships into the Yangtze River by floating cranes in the dark.

　　The arrest of two ships has torn a corner of the criminal chain of illegal dumping of garbage. Subsequently, the police in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai cooperated and the people involved were arrested one by one. The source of garbage has also been identified, mainly from Haiyan and Haining in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Up to now, the prosecution in Jiangsu has approved the arrest of 9 people and the prosecution in Jiaxing, Zhejiang has approved the arrest of 25 people.

　　According to the indictment of Haining City Procuratorate, in Haining City, from November to December, 2016, 14 ships with a total of more than 9,700 tons of domestic garbage were transported from the local Pengdun Wharf. These garbage were eventually thrown directly into Nantong section and Taicang section of the Yangtze River by the suspects involved. In Haiyan County, from August to December, 2016, 26 ships with a total of about 20,000 tons of domestic garbage were transported from the local Huangqiao Wharf, and these domestic garbage were also directly thrown into the Nantong section and Taicang section of the Yangtze River.

　　"This is only a well-documented amount, and the actual garbage thrown into the river may be far more than this." Han Lijia, deputy section chief of the Public Prosecution Section of Changshu People’s Procuratorate, said. According to the relevant jurisdiction regulations, in Jiangsu, this case was finally handed over to Changshu People’s Procuratorate for public prosecution, and Han Lijia was the prosecutor in charge of this case. He also told the Economic Information Daily that about 15,000 tons of domestic waste from sea salt was transported to Huzhou, Anhui and other places in Zhejiang for illegal landfill.

　　Although these garbage came from Haiyan and Haining, they were subcontracted by different companies and transported by different ships, but in the end they were all thrown into the Yangtze River by Shamou gang at the end of the criminal chain. According to the investigation by the police in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, ships transporting garbage usually go to the river by night, and then turn off various electronic equipment and lighting facilities such as ship navigation to escape the supervision of government departments. At the same time, arrange floating crane boats to be near for lifting and unloading operations, and arrange people to drive speedboats to keep the wind or ferry and pilot nearby. After the lifting and unloading operation is completed, the pump ship will be arranged to clean the transport ship.

　　According to Han Lijia, after testing by third-party environmental protection agencies, these illegally spilled and landfilled wastes contain toxic and harmful substances, among which the volatile phenol in domestic garbage from sea salt exceeds the standard by 80 times to 32,200 times. In Taicang section of the Yangtze River, two centralized drinking water sources in Taicang City were forced to stop taking water for more than 48 hours and 55 hours, respectively, because the dumping site was located in the upper reaches of the drinking water source protection zone.

　　"So much garbage floating on the river not only affects the water quality of the Yangtze River, but also threatens the safety of sailing. If garbage is involved in the propeller, the ship will suddenly break down in the river, which will easily lead to safety accidents such as collision. " Xu Yihui said.

　　The reporter of the Economic Information Daily also learned that after the case, in order to prevent pollution from expanding and eliminate pollution, the Taicang Municipal Government and the relevant departments of the Chongming District Government of Shanghai salvaged the garbage thrown into the river. Although the amount that can be salvaged is very limited, the cost incurred is as high as more than 12 million yuan.

　　The qualification certificate is completely false.

　　Subcontracting at different levels for profiteering

　　"Jianghai Power Plant" is a code word used by criminal suspects. It is said that the garbage is transported to the "Jianghai Power Plant", and the suspects get the message and understand that the garbage is thrown into the river.

　　"Although these suspects have their own division of labor, they don’t necessarily know each other, and the ownership of ships and floating cranes is not the same, in essence, they have formed a criminal chain of illegal dumping of garbage, turning garbage into profiteering ‘ Resources ’ 。” Han Lijia said.

　　Analysis of this case, the relevant prosecutors and public security police believe that this case is very typical, from bidding to garbage disposal fee collection, subcontracting at different levels, and fraud at different levels, a series of regulatory measures have been broken, highlighting the serious loopholes in garbage disposal supervision.

　　First of all, there is suspicion of fraud in bidding. According to a survey conducted by Suzhou Branch of Changjiang Shipping Public Security Bureau, in late April 2016, Zhejiang Tongxiang Tianshun Garbage Removal Service Co., Ltd. won a one-year domestic garbage transportation and disposal business in Haiyan County through bidding, and both parties signed the Domestic Garbage Entrusted Disposal Agreement. According to the agreement, Tianshun Company will transport the domestic garbage from Haiyan County to the regular incineration plant for disposal, and the garbage disposal cost is 277 yuan/ton.

　　"This agreement is very puzzling." Han Lijia said that Tianshun Company has no disposal capacity, only transportation capacity, but signed a "disposal agreement" and there is no so-called "regular incineration plant" to receive garbage. In addition, inter-provincial disposal of garbage must be approved by the provincial environmental protection departments of the exporting and importing places. Tianshun company has not been approved, why can it still get the right to dispose of garbage?

　　Followed by garbage subcontracting. According to a survey conducted by Changhang Public Security Suzhou Branch, from August to December 2016, Tianshun Company subcontracted domestic garbage to these middlemen for disposal knowing that the suspect Zhang and others were not qualified for domestic garbage disposal. These middlemen looked for people separately, and eventually dumped about tens of thousands of tons of garbage into the Yangtze River or buried it in the barren land along the river bank.

　　Han Lijia introduced that the garbage disposal fee given by Haiyan Environmental Sanitation Center is 277 yuan/ton; After Tianshun Company took over, the disposal fee for the middleman was 170 yuan-190 yuan/ton, and the profit per ton was close to 100 yuan; The middleman’s disposal fee for the dumping gang is less than that of 100 yuan, and the profit from re-exploitation is tens of yuan per ton. The cost of regular waste incineration or landfill treatment is about 160 yuan/ton. After subcontracting, these wastes can only be dumped illegally.

　　The procuratorate of Haining also alleged that from November to December, 2016, the relevant person in charge of Tongxiang Chuangjie Environmental Sanitation Equipment Co., Ltd., which obtained the domestic waste diversion and outward disposal business in Haining, in order to jointly seek illegal benefits, knowing that Zhu and Cheng were not qualified for domestic waste disposal, and Zhu even had a past history of illegal garbage disposal, they still handed over the garbage to these middlemen for disposal. After subcontracting, the garbage was finally dumped by Shamou to Nantong Section and Taicang Section of the Yangtze River.

　　Once again, the garbage receipt certificate is fraudulent. According to the regulations, whether it is bidding for garbage disposal or receiving the garbage disposal fee after garbage disposal, the garbage incineration or landfill unit must issue the acceptance certificate. However, Changhang Public Security went to Wuhu, Anhui and other related waste incineration power generation companies to investigate and found that the certificate provided by Tianshun Company was forged.

　　"The relevant waste incineration power generation companies have not only issued similar certificates, but have never even heard of Tianshun Company." Ding Haiping, director of Taicang Police Station of Suzhou Branch of Yangtze River Shipping Public Security Bureau, said, "After being appraised by a professional organization, the official seal on the certificate is false."

　　According to the indictment of Haining City Procuratorate, at the end of November and mid-December, 2016, the relevant person in charge of Chuangjie Company handed over 18 receiving confirmation forms and 1 certificate of authorization for domestic waste disposal in Haining City to the middlemen Zhu Mou and Cheng Mou, and asked them to stamp the relevant companies. Later, Zhu Mou and Cheng Mou forged the official seals of the relevant companies to stamp them. Later, Chuangjie Company used these fake documents to settle the garbage disposal fee with Haining Environmental Sanitation Department, totaling about 3.35 million yuan.

　　"Whether in the bidding process or in the collection of domestic waste disposal fees, as long as the environmental sanitation departments in the relevant areas strictly review, even if they just call the garbage receiving and disposal unit to ask, they can find that these garbage have not been transported to the place where they should be transported. Can avoid the occurrence of cases. Regrettably, the relevant regulatory authorities have not done so. " In Jiangsu, the prosecutor and police interviewed said. They believe that through subcontracting and fraud, criminal suspects can easily defraud garbage disposal fees, which shows that there are serious loopholes in the supervision of domestic garbage transportation and disposal.

　　Weak processing capacity is a curse.

　　Weak supervision needs to be upgraded.

　　In recent years, illegal dumping of garbage across provinces has occurred frequently, and Jiangsu alone has encountered many cases, such as the dumping of garbage in Huishan District and Xishan District of Wuxi City, the dumping of garbage in Xishan Island of Taihu Lake in Suzhou City, and the dumping of garbage in Xuzhou section of Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

　　Compared with these cases, the relevant case handlers said that the "dumping case in the Yangtze River estuary" had a particularly bad impact. First, tens of thousands of tons of domestic garbage were dumped in this case, and the number was staggering; Second, the dumping site is special. Most of the other cases were dumped on the banks of the river, but this case was dumped on the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is the most important and busiest river in China, and it is also the drinking water source of many cities along the Yangtze River. The dumping of garbage into the river not only affects the safety of sailing, but also causes pollution, and it is difficult to salvage it after the incident.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress clearly stated that it is necessary to "strengthen solid waste and garbage disposal". Relevant researchers and investigators believe that in-depth analysis of this case is of great warning significance for strengthening the disposal of domestic garbage.

　　Through this case, Han Lijia and Ding Haiping believe that the root cause of this case is that the garbage disposal capacity of the garbage outflow area is weak. Taking Haiyan County as an example, they went to Haiyan County to investigate and found that the capacity of the landfill in this county is extremely limited, and about 15,000 tons of domestic garbage are mainly transported abroad every month. This laid a curse for the case.

　　Song Guojun, a professor in the Department of Environmental Economics and Management, School of Environment, Renmin University of China, has long studied the disposal of urban and rural domestic waste. He said that the frequent illegal dumping of domestic garbage is closely related to the lack of urban garbage disposal capacity. At present, not only the capacity of garbage disposal in some fast-growing cities in China is stretched, but also the disposal of domestic garbage in a considerable number of counties and towns below the county level is facing difficulties. In some places, as long as the garbage can be transported out, how to deal with it later is often ignored.

　　Learn from a painful experience. After the case occurred, Jiaxing City also made it clear that it would improve its domestic waste disposal capacity as soon as possible, and the technical transformation and expansion projects of waste incineration plants at the city level, Jiashan and Haining Heping Lake strived to start construction within the year; Haiyan county will accelerate the construction of waste incineration plant while completing the construction of emergency landfill. In addition, it will accelerate the reduction and classification of domestic waste and the construction and expansion of kitchen waste treatment plants in counties and cities under its jurisdiction.

　　Song Guojun also suggested that "addition and subtraction" should be carried out at the same time to improve the garbage disposal capacity. On the one hand, it is necessary to increase investment and improve the capacity of urban garbage disposal; On the other hand, efforts should be made to do a good job in garbage classification. Through garbage classification, a large number of recyclable garbage will be reused, turning waste into treasure, and then the amount of garbage that needs to be disposed of will be reduced.

　　After analyzing the case, the relevant case handlers also believe that the existence of regulatory loopholes shows that the regulatory means need to be upgraded. Han Lijia said that the sanitation department can’t just hand over the garbage, let alone turn a blind eye to fraud, but should continue to pay attention to where the garbage has been transported and whether it has been properly disposed of. Judging from the problems exposed in this case, it is urgent to upgrade the supervision means, and it is necessary to use modern information technology, such as Internet of Things technology, to establish a tracking system for the whole process of storage, transportation and treatment of domestic garbage.

　　In addition, relevant researchers believe that to strengthen the disposal of domestic waste, not only the supervision means should be upgraded, but also the supervision system should be reformed. Some scholars believe that the environmental protection department should actively intervene in the supervision of domestic waste disposal, and the urban construction department should not be responsible for both disposal and supervision. At present, whether the cost of domestic waste landfill and incineration is "confused" or the supervision is a mere formality, it is related to a department’s "monopoly" on waste disposal and supervision.

　　After the case occurred, Jiaxing also took a series of measures to strengthen closed-loop supervision, and issued the Emergency Notice on Establishing and Perfecting the Joint List System of Domestic Waste Collection and Transportation Office in Jiaxing, which fully implemented the joint list management system in the collection, transportation and treatment of domestic waste in the city, and strictly controlled the entry of clearing enterprises, and implemented the "one-vote veto" system for the false information submission of garbage clearing enterprises, and required the competent departments of counties (cities) to review and check the disposal sites for outbound transportation one by one.

　　"It’s never too late to mend." Relevant investigators and researchers believe that at present, illegal dumping of garbage across provinces has occurred in many places. An in-depth analysis of these cases is also of warning significance to other similar areas that need to transport garbage abroad, and can also draw lessons and experiences from them.

The experience gained by 5 billion people in the first half of Spring Festival travel rush in 2024 will definitely be used next time.

Spring Festival travel rush has entered the second half of 2024. According to the data released by the Ministry of Transport, as of February 16th, there were 5.092 billion people moving in Spring Festival travel rush in the first 22 days this year.

What is the concept of this number? According to the statistics of the Ministry of Transport, in 2023, in 40 days in Spring Festival travel rush, there were 4.733 billion people moving across the country, which has been the highest in the past. Looking further ahead, from 2015 to 2020, during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, there will be about 3 billion people moving around the country.

This year, it took only 22 days for Spring Festival travel rush to surpass previous years in an all-round way. According to the forecast of the Ministry of Transport, when all 40 days have passed, it is estimated that there will be 9 billion people moving across the country, more than the global population of 8 billion.

There are many changes behind the amazing figures, including joy and reflection.

First, the hidden economic vitality in the figures

In the first 22 days of this year in Spring Festival travel rush, the national railways have sent nearly 261 million passengers, an increase of 24.59% compared with the same period in 2019.

With the improvement of people’s income and the development of China railway network, more and more people choose to travel by rail.

According to the information released by China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd., by the end of 2023, the operating mileage of China railway reached 159,000 kilometers, including 45,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. In 2023, 3,637 kilometers of new railway lines were put into operation in China, including 2,776 kilometers of high-speed rail, and the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network became more and more dense. In particular, a number of new lines and stations such as Guinan High-speed Railway, Lixiang Railway and Chuanqing Railway in the western region have been put into operation, and people in some remote and ethnic areas can finally go home for the New Year by train.

In terms of civil aviation, in the first 22 days of this year in Spring Festival travel rush, the national civil aviation sent 46.792 million passengers, an increase of 18.65% compared with the same period in 2019.

In 2023, civil aviation accelerated its recovery, and the aviation companies of the three central enterprises greatly reduced their losses, and some private aviation companies have made profits.

According to the data released by the Civil Aviation Administration, during the Spring Festival holiday this year, 137,000 flights were guaranteed nationwide, an increase of 4.9% over 2019. Among them, the daily average number of domestic passengers is 14,138, an increase of 17.7% compared with 2019.

The biggest structural change in Spring Festival travel rush this year comes from road transportation. According to the previous forecast data, among the 9 billion passengers, there are about 7.2 billion passengers traveling on expressways and ordinary national and provincial trunk lines, accounting for 80% of the total personnel flow.

The data of the first 22 days in Spring Festival travel rush this year also showed that the number of non-operating passenger cars on expressways and ordinary national and provincial trunk lines was about 4.199 billion, an increase of 33.3% compared with the same period in 2019.

In the data, "non-operating passenger cars on expressways and ordinary national and provincial trunk lines" actually refer to private cars. More and more people own private cars, which is a reflection of economic development. According to the data, in 2023, the automobile industry in China officially entered a new era of production and sales of 30 million vehicles, and the number of motor vehicles in China reached 435 million.

On the whole, the flow of people will produce consumption and economic cycle. The flow of 9 billion people has undoubtedly injected a strong impetus into China’s new year tourism market and consumer market.

Second, is it inevitable that the bus will accelerate its "demise"?

According to the statistics released by the Ministry of Transport, the waterway passenger traffic and the highway commercial passenger traffic showed a "cliff-like" downward trend, which was basically "folded in half" compared with 2019.

The slow speed of water transportation is understandable to be replaced by other modes of transportation, but the commercial passenger flow on the highway mainly refers to passengers who take buses. The theoretical speed of buses is not much slower than that of private cars. Why is it falling so fast?

In this regard, many passengers who have taken the bus said that the main reason is that the bus is "dirty, chaotic, poor and bumpy".

Another reason is that after the epidemic, passengers pay more attention to privacy, and private cars are obviously better than buses in this respect.

However, considering the rapid growth of railways and civil aviation as public transportation, the second reason may not be as "fatal" as the first one.

As can be seen from the data, the base of bus passenger flow is not small, which is more than that of civil aviation and railway passenger flow combined.

Buses are accelerating "extinction", and these passengers can only flow to railways and civil aviation, or become private cars several times.

At present, railways, civil aviation and highways can’t undertake this batch of passenger flow well. During the Spring Festival travel rush this year, private cars on the road blocked the road into "pig liver red"; Air tickets and train tickets are difficult to buy, and all kinds of "second light"; Many people buy short rides when they can’t buy tickets, and stand all the way home, which makes the china railway high-speed train as crowded as the subway during the rush hour, so that it is difficult to breathe. It even takes an hour for the flight attendants to cross a carriage …

Someone asked, why don’t railways and civil aviation increase trains and flights? In fact, during the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush, the online rate of railway trains reached 100%, and the utilization rate of airlines’ aircraft was close to 100%.

Of course, we can ask the railway and civil aviation to continue to develop, but after all, Spring Festival travel rush is special. If we simply want to meet the needs of Spring Festival travel rush, the railway and civil aviation capacity will be greatly wasted in peacetime outside Spring Festival travel rush, which will make enterprises fall into a loss-making dilemma.

In fact, if we turn our attention back to the highway, so many private cars will exceed the carrying capacity of the highway. As a public transportation, bus can not only relieve the pressure of road congestion, but also conform to the initiative of green travel.

If the bus service can be upgraded, perhaps many people’s trip to Spring Festival travel rush will not be so embarrassed as to be stuck in the road or crowded with trains like a subway for a long time.

Third, you should also be prepared to "go and go"

Among the 9 billion people’s movements in Spring Festival travel rush this year, the proportion of tourists is not low. Some people "just leave" and set off after booking a ticket to Hainan. As a result, when they bought a return ticket at the end of the holiday, they found that there were only a few business class tickets of 10,000 yuan left.

"Go to 1000 yuan and come back 10,000 yuan" is a true portrayal of some people’s holiday travel.

However, I believe that more people have booked their return tickets before departure. For example, some friends around the reporter flew to Hainan to fly to 1000 yuan for a return trip of 2,000 yuan.

It is foreseeable that the Spring Festival holiday is hot, it is difficult to book hotels during peak hours, and it is difficult to buy air tickets and train tickets. It is best to avoid some popular destinations when traveling during holidays. Even if you want to "follow the crowd", you should make plans and preparations to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to book a hotel or buy a ticket temporarily and not going home.

"Go and leave" doesn’t mean to think about other things at the destination first, but to arrange the trip immediately after "go" and then "go".

Considering the general environment of Spring Festival travel rush this year, popular tourist destinations should be avoided as much as possible. Instead of "leaving without preparation" and then being stuck in a dilemma during the trip, it is better to rest at home and feel more happy.

The employees of this pharmaceutical company are very profitable, with a per capita income of nearly 460,000.

In the first half of the year, the characteristics of "differentiation" of CRO were prominent, and the growth rate of CRO was higher before clinic.

On July 2nd, CDE issued the Guiding Principles for Clinical Research and Development of Anti-tumor Drugs Oriented by Clinical Value, which triggered the CRO concept stocks in A-share and Hong Kong stock markets to plummet.

　

In fact, the release of the "new regulations on anticancer drugs" is a natural product of the transformation of China’s pharmaceutical industry from generic drugs to innovative drugs, from paying too much attention to the development of Me too drugs to the development of First in class or Best in class drugs, which also makes the CRO plate "differentiated". The trend has obviously accelerated.

　

As of August 30th, nine CRO companies including Wuxi PharmaTech, Kanglong Chenghua, Tiger Medicine, Zhaoyan New Medicine, Medici, Yaoshi Technology, Chengdu Pioneer, Ruizhi Medicine and Boji Medicine have disclosed the results of the interim report in 2021. This paper will select the key companies for comprehensive analysis.

Pre-clinical CRO or CXO faucet increased even more.

　

On the whole, as of the close of August 27th, 2021, there were only three CRO companies with a total market value of more than 100 billion yuan: WuXi PharmaTech (383.7 billion yuan), Kanglong Huacheng (154 billion yuan) and Tiger Pharmaceuticals (119.1 billion yuan), and two companies with a total market value of less than 10 billion yuan: Ruizhi Pharmaceuticals (6.924 billion yuan) and BoJi Pharmaceuticals (2.822 billion yuan).　

　

1. Tiger Medicine: The total market value decreased the most, and the increase was at the bottom.


Tiger Medicine, a leading clinical trial research service, had a total market value of 145.267 billion yuan at the beginning of the year (January 4, 2021), and the latest total market value was 119.1 billion yuan at the close of August 27, and the total market value has dropped by 26.167 billion yuan since the beginning of the year. The stock price dropped by 15.39%, which was the biggest drop among the three hundred billion CRO leaders, and ranked the bottom in the CRO industry.

In terms of performance, Tiger Pharmaceuticals achieved a total revenue of 2.056 billion yuan in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 41.62%; The net profit was 1.255 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.65%; Deducting non-net profit was 543 million yuan, up 79.1% year-on-year. In the second quarter, the net profit was 799 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.48%.

In terms of main business, the company’s clinical trial technical services, clinical trial related services and laboratory services achieved revenues of 1.034 billion and 1.016 billion respectively in the first half of the year, up by 45.36% and 38.43% year-on-year.

At the same time, in terms of non-main business income, the company realized investment income of 113 million yuan in the first half of the year, accounting for 6.65% of the total profit; The gains and losses from changes in fair value reached 906 million yuan, accounting for 53.53% of the total profits, which were mainly due to the investment income confirmed during the holding period and disposal of other non-current financial assets of the company during the reporting period.

　

2. Kanglong Chenghua: The total market value increased the most.


The total market value of Kanglong Huacheng at the beginning of the year was 94.919 billion yuan. As of the close of August 27th, the latest total market value reached 154 billion yuan, an increase of 59.081 billion yuan, which is almost equivalent to the market value of Zhaoyan New Medicine (53.86 billion yuan) and Wise Medicine (6.924 billion yuan).

Secondly, the total market value of Wuxi PharmaTech and Medici increased by 50.22 billion yuan and 31.4 billion yuan respectively compared with the beginning of the year, ranking second and third.

　

3. Medici: The stock price and total market value increased the most.　


The share price of Medici rose as high as 323.05% compared with the beginning of the year, and the total market value also increased by 31.4 billion yuan, with an increase rate of 324.42%, ranking first.

The financial report shows that Medeci achieved total revenue of 485 million yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 86.26% year-on-year; The net profit of returning to the mother was 113 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 142.29%, ranking among the top in the industry, and its performance was quite beautiful.

In the first half of 2021, thanks to the sustained growth of domestic and international drug R&D boom, the business performance of Medeci achieved steady growth. The two main businesses, drug discovery, pharmaceutical research and preclinical research, achieved revenues of 260 million and 225 million, respectively, which increased by 78.59% and 95.38% year-on-year.

　

To sum up, Wuxi PharmaTech and Kanglong Chenghua, which realize the whole industrial chain of CXO, have gained 15.06% and 62.24% respectively year-to-date by virtue of their high competitive barriers.

At the same time, the growth rate of preclinical CRO business is also quite high. The molecular block leader Yaoshi Technology has increased by 56.96% year-to-date, the drug safety evaluation leader Zhaoyan new drug has increased by 93.39%, and the increase rate of Medici is as high as 323.05%.

This means that the CRO plate has shown an obvious performance "differentiation" market.

　

Performance differentiation is obvious: WuXi PharmaTech has the highest revenue scale and Medici has the fastest growth rate.

　

On the whole, the growth rate of total revenue and net profit of these nine CRO companies both achieved positive growth in the first half of 2021, with a total revenue and net profit of 18.639 billion yuan and 5.183 billion yuan respectively.

　

1. WuXi PharmaTech: The scale of total revenue and net profit income is the highest.　


In the first half of 2021, Wuxi PharmaTech achieved a total revenue of 10.537 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 45.71%; The net profit was 2.675 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55.79%.

WuXi PharmaTech’s main business is divided into laboratory services in China, contract production R&D services (CDMO), clinical research and other CRO services, and laboratory services in the United States. In the first half of the year, the revenue was 5.487 billion yuan, 3.599 billion yuan, 783 million yuan and 659 million yuan respectively.

Among them, the negative impact of clinical research and other CRO services caused by the domestic COVID-19 epidemic has been basically removed, showing a substantial increase compared with the comparable period: the revenue in the first half of the year was 783 million yuan, up 56.51% year-on-year.

During the reporting period, Wuxi PharmaTech Clinical Trial Services (CDS) team provided clinical trial development services for more than 170 projects in China and the United States. At the same time, it helped customers to complete three new drug listing registrations and five clinical research applications. Help five ADC projects achieve important milestones and a number of clinical research and development for COVID-19 products.

　

2. Medici: The growth rate of total revenue and net profit is the highest.


Although Yaoshi Technology achieved a net profit of 381 million yuan in the first half of the year, the year-on-year growth rate of net profit was as high as 336.5%. However, after deducting the non-recurring profit and loss of 236 million yuan, the non-net profit was 145 million yuan, an increase of 77.16%.

Among the non-recurring gains and losses of 236 million yuan of Yaoshi Technology, the highest proportion is that Yaoshi Technology completed the acquisition of Zhejiang Huishi, a CDMO company, in April 2021, and the gains generated by re-measuring the equity held before the purchase date at fair value amounted to 222 million yuan.

Relatively speaking, the profit quality of Medici is higher: the total revenue in the first half of the year was 485 million yuan, up 86.26% year-on-year; The net profit returned to the mother was 113 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 142.29%, and the non-net profit was 110 million yuan, a substantial increase of 150.14%.

During the reporting period, the number of new orders signed by Medeci maintained a good growth trend, with the amount of new orders reaching 1.026 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 93.64%. Sufficient orders laid a good foundation for future development. The company has provided drug research and development services to more than 1,100 customers at home and abroad, and added 161 customers during the reporting period.

During the reporting period, drug discovery and pharmaceutical research services signed 476 million yuan, an increase of 85.65%. Among them, 321 million yuan was newly signed for drug discovery, up 106.78% year-on-year; The number of newly signed orders for pharmaceutical research was 155 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 53.29%.

　

3. Wise Medicine: the net profit and its growth rate are the lowest.　


Ruizhi Medicine is mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of CRO and CMO, series of prebiotic products such as fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides, and micro-ecological medical services.

In the first half of 2021, Ruizhi Pharmaceutical achieved a total revenue of 845 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.14%, but its net profit was only 5.138 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 87.43%. Deducting non-net profit was a loss of 1,007,800 yuan, down 103.26% year-on-year.

During the reporting period, the company’s pharmaceutical R&D and production outsourcing services (CRO/CDMO) sector achieved operating income of 684 million yuan, accounting for 81% of the company’s total revenue. Among them, preclinical drug R&D outsourcing service (preclinical CRO), as an important part of pharmaceutical R&D and production outsourcing service (CRO/CDMO), achieved an operating income of 578 million yuan during the reporting period, accounting for 84% of CRO/CDMO.

　

To sum up, leading CRO enterprises that realize the whole industrial chain of CXO, establish platform advantages, or specialize in clinical research business have higher income scale and stable performance growth rate.

However, in preclinical research such as drug safety evaluation, molecular building blocks, drug discovery and pharmaceutical research services, the CRO leader with competitive advantage has been established. Although the income scale is low, the performance growth rate is very fast.

WuXi PharmaTech invested the most in R&D, and Chengdu Pioneer was the most willing to invest in R&D.

　

The key to WuXi PharmaTech’s brilliant performance lies in its strong R&D strength and strong team support.

Specifically, WuXi PharmaTech’s R&D investment in the first half of 2021 reached 404 million yuan, an increase of 21.29% over the same period of last year, mainly due to the company’s commitment to platform empowerment, including enzyme catalysis, flow chemistry, etc., and focused on a series of new capacity-building R&D activities such as AI reverse synthesis and resource sequencing algorithm development..



However, Chengdu Pioneer is the most willing to invest in R&D. In the first half of the year, it invested 33.5215 million yuan in R&D. Although it decreased by 27.92% compared with last year, the R&D expense ratio (the ratio of R&D investment to operating income) is still as high as 21.43%. At the same time, the gross profit margin of sales is as high as 52.2%.

Chengdu Pioneer’s main business is to provide research and development services in the early drug discovery stage and transfer of new drug research and development projects. The product types include DEL screening services, DEL library customization services, chemical synthesis services, and new drug research and development project transfer.

During the reporting period, Chengdu Pioneer increased the introduction of R&D personnel in related fields of core technology platforms, enriched the R&D team, and maintained the company’s R&D innovation capability. The number of R&D personnel increased to 379, accounting for 82.93% of the total number of the company. At the same time, by increasing R&D investment and expanding business cooperation, we will continue to strengthen the construction of its core technology platform -DNA coding compound library, and optimize the trillion-dollar DEL new molecular entity library.

In addition, Boji Medicine (9.92%), Yaoshi Technology (8.21%) and Medici (7.01%) have high R&D expense rates. In the first half of the year, the R&D personnel of Wuxi PharmaTech and Medici also accounted for 82.88% and 85.48% of the total number of the company respectively.

Among them, Medici’s R&D investment in the first half of the year increased by 77.04% compared with last year, mainly due to the company’s continuous increase in investment in independent R&D projects in order to improve its R&D service capabilities and business undertaking capabilities and enhance its competitive advantage.

During the reporting period, the company expanded the construction scale and application of protein Degradation Technology (PROTAC) platform; Establish a research and development platform for small molecule drug discovery and a safety evaluation system for scale-up production process that meets the requirements of international norms; Continue to promote the improvement of new biotechnological drugs (including stem cells, CAR-T cells, ADC drugs, oncolytic viruses and other gene therapy products, as well as mRNA vaccines, etc.), and the construction of a technical platform for pre-clinical effectiveness and safety evaluation.

　

Among many CRO companies, employees of Yaoshi Technology can make the most money. In the first half of this year, the per capita income and per capita profit were as high as 454,000 yuan/person and 278,000 yuan/person respectively, mainly because the company actively expanded the market, increased sales orders and enhanced delivery capacity.

During the reporting period, in addition to the derivative growth of mid-and late-stage projects, Pharmaceutical Stone Technology accumulated a large number of early projects, forming a sustainable growth project pipeline. Among the projects undertaken by Pharmaceutical Stone Technology in the first half of the year, more than 320 were in pre-clinical stage to clinical stage II, and 29 were in clinical stage III to commercialization stage; In addition to the above projects, there are more than 350 projects above the kilogram level.

At the same time, Yaoshi Technology continues to expand its service customer base, especially small and medium-sized biotech companies. During the reporting period, the number of customers who formed orders was 722, a year-on-year increase of 5%; There were 105 terminal customers (including only domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies and small and medium-sized innovative drug companies) above the kilogram level, with a year-on-year increase of 25%; There were 27 customers with sales of more than 5 million, a year-on-year increase of 42%.

To sum up, in the first half of 2021, due to the influence of policies and significant differences in performance, CRO companies showed obvious "differentiation" in the capital market.

Wuxi pharmatech and Kanglong Chenghua occupy the platform advantages of the whole industrial chain of CXO, and maintain the leading position of the strong. Pharmaceutical stone technology, Zhaoyan new drugs and Medicines, which have been engaged in preclinical research business for many years and established competitive advantages, are also favored by the capital market.

On the whole, under the background of accelerating the transformation from generic drugs to innovative drugs in China, high-quality CRO companies will still maintain a high degree of prosperity for a long time and have long-term investment value.
