After Copenhagen, "low-carbon economy" has become the focus of attention of people from all walks of life around the world. Guangdong Province has achieved remarkable results in low-carbon development, and has been identified as one of the pilot provinces for low-carbon development by the state. The results of the "2011 Renshang Low-carbon List" were also announced in Guangzhou on April 26th. Dong Mingzhu, President of Gree Electric, was awarded the "Best Low-carbon Business Leader" for promoting the green strategy of enterprises, and became the representative of benevolent businessmen with the most exemplary effect, leading the sustainable development of low-carbon environmental protection in China with exemplary strength.

Dong Mingzhu believes: "An enterprise should not only create profits and promote its own development, but more importantly, take the initiative to undertake the social responsibility of cultivating the concept of green consumption and promoting the development of low-carbon economy."

For a long time, Gree Electric regards the product quality with energy conservation and environmental protection as the cornerstone of enterprise’s survival and development, and regards energy conservation and environmental protection as an important measure to build and enhance product brands. Gree embeds the green development strategy into the company’s development strategy, actively develops green products, advocates green consumption, saves energy and reduces consumption, and takes the initiative to undertake corporate social responsibility.

At present, the lowest frequency of most air conditioners in the market is basically around 10 Hz, but this time, Gree Electric has set a new record for the performance of inverter air conditioners, reaching 1 Hz. Many friends don’t know much about the concept of 1 Hz. According to relevant technical personnel, inverter air conditioners consume little power when operating at 1 Hz, and they can operate at a constant temperature with only 45 watts of power, which is only equivalent to the power consumption of a light bulb.

Gree’s breakthrough in frequency conversion technology not only conquered the peers in the industry, but also won the affirmation and evaluation of authoritative experts. Zhou yuan, an academician of China Academy of Sciences, said that Gree’s core competitiveness in frequency conversion technology has taken a powerful step for China to move from a big air-conditioning intelligent country to a strong air-conditioning intelligent country, and from "Made in China" to "Created in China".

At the same time of technological breakthrough, Gree Air Conditioning has not left behind after-sales service items. In 2005, Gree Electric took the lead in proposing a "six-year free warranty" for household air conditioners, which set off a service upgrade revolution in the industry. Within a year, a large number of enterprises followed suit, which greatly improved the overall level of the air conditioning industry.

On March 1st, Gree Electric, the leader of the air-conditioning industry, once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the trend of the industry, and announced that from January 1st, 2011, all consumers who buy Gree inverter air conditioners in China can enjoy the "one-year free replacement" service. This is the first time that air-conditioning enterprises in China have promised that inverter air conditioners will be replaced free of charge in one year. Since then, the air-conditioning industry will take Gree as the benchmark, and further improve the importance of inverter air-conditioning quality and after-sales service. For the emerging market of inverter air conditioner, the industry as a whole pays attention to quality and the environment of healthy competition will lay a solid foundation for the future development of the industry. Gree Electric’s move will not only enlarge his share of "cake", but also contribute to the growth of the whole industry and market.

True blue will never stain. Strict control of product quality, improvement of cost control, absolute attention to brand reputation, and persistent persistence can create a brand that can make consumers trust and lead the industry. And all this is the source of confidence that Gree Electric dares to make promises and accept the test of consumers.

　　In recent years, all kinds of treasure-hunting and treasure-hunting programs have heated up the antique market, and the cultural relics market is unprecedentedly hot. Collectors all hope that their home collections can fetch a good price. However, most Tibetan friends only see the flowers on the surface, but they don’t know how many tricks there are. On February 5, 2021, the People’s Procuratorate of Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province filed a public prosecution against seven suspects, including Huang, who committed fraud in the name of antique trading.

　　The collection in the happy event of heaven is worth millions.

　　Mr. Wang is an antique lover and has a collection of several ancient coins. Through online advertising, he found an auction company and wanted to sell ancient coins. The staff of the company asked Mr. Wang to add WeChat and send photos of ancient coins first. Not long after, the staff said that they had shown the photos to the company’s professional appraisers. The color was very good and should be able to sell a lot of money. Please ask Mr. Wang to take the ancient coins to the auction company for a detailed appraisal.

　　Mr. Wang was overjoyed. After arriving at the auction company, two employees received him, and a middle-aged man was invited, calling him a master appraiser, which was very professional. The master carefully looked at the coin brought by Mr. Wang, and said that it should be an ancient coin in Guangxu period, and it is well preserved, and it is estimated that it can sell for 1.2 million. The staff also introduced: "Our company has three trading modes, one is auction, the procedure is slow, the other is pawn, but the transaction price will not be very high, and the third is’ private transaction’ mode, the price is high and the speed is fast. We suggest you use the third one." After some consideration, Mr. Wang accepted the salesman’s suggestion and chose the "private transaction" mode.

　　The staff took out an Art Goods Trading Service Agreement, and Mr. Wang signed the agreement and paid a service fee of 5,000 yuan as required. The salesman said that he would find a buyer for him as soon as possible.

　　The transaction cost of a wave of three-fold collections is high.

　　Half a month later, the auction company called: "Hello, Mr. Wang, we have found an overseas buyer for you, and the transaction will be completed in one week. Before that, you need to file your collection with the Cultural Relics Bureau to prove that this collection is not a national first-class or second-class cultural relic and is allowed to go through customs." In the face of complicated procedures, Mr. Wang made a mistake. The other party said that the auction company could help Mr. Wang get the record, but Mr. Wang needed to pay the appraisal fee of 8700 yuan, and Mr. Wang agreed.

　　Soon, the auction company called again and told Mr. Wang that the previous buyer had repented and didn’t want it. They found a new buyer and needed to make an auction record of his ancient coins, so that it was easier to overestimate the value and make a deal, and they had to pay a fee of 20 thousand yuan. Under the lobbying of the salesman, Mr. Wang paid 20 thousand yuan through WeChat transfer, and the other party sent a receipt with official seal.

　　This time, the transaction of ancient coins still failed. Mr. Wang has some regrets and can only comfort himself that a million-dollar business will not be so easy to succeed. Subsequently, the auction company helped Mr. Wang find several "overseas buyers" one after another, but the ancient coins were not sold, and various handling fees and service fees were collected a lot. Whenever Mr. Wang asks about the sales progress of coins, the salesman always procrastinates with various excuses, but he can’t answer the detailed questions. When the contract expired and Mr. Wang went to the auction company to renew the contract, he found that the company had closed its doors and was cheated.

　　Uncover the mystery, the transaction is false and cheating is true.

　　In May 2017, Huang set up an auction company in Binhu District, Wuxi City, mainly engaged in the identification, evaluation and sales of handicrafts and art collections, but the business was flat. In November 2018, he hired Zou (handled separately) as the company’s vice president, responsible for the main business. Chao had been engaged in the cultural and artistic industry before, and he had many doorways. He introduced a "private transaction" model to Huang, that is, he took the opportunity to collect service fees for collectors under the guise of finding buyers. Huang thought it was feasible after listening, and the two hit it off.

　　Chao recruited salesmen to find collectors in various ways, falsely claiming that he could sell his collectibles through auction, pawn, "private transaction" and other modes, and collected customers’ funds on the grounds that he needed various expenses during the sales period. Chao and others don’t know whether the collection is true or false, and the so-called "master appraisers" don’t have appraisal qualifications, but they often falsely report the high price, telling the victims that their collection is extremely valuable, and overseas buyers are willing to invest in it, and then "propose that the collection needs to pay customs clearance fees and service fees when it leaves the country", "If it wants to sell at a high price, it needs to make an auction transaction record and pay a handling fee" and other reasons to trick the victims into funds, and then "the collection is auctioned off" and ". After review, from November 2018 to September 2019, the salesman of the company used the above methods to defraud nearly 400,000 yuan in various expenses.

　　[Prosecutor’s statement]

　　Regular auction companies generally don’t charge any fees in the early stage. Antique lovers should keep their eyes open and look for qualified appraisal institutions and auction companies when they want to appraise or auction their collections. At the same time, we should also know more about relevant knowledge, and don’t take chances and try to get rich overnight. We think that an old object we find at random is a precious antique that can sell at a high price, but it falls into the trap carefully woven by swindlers.
