China Mobile 10086 always makes the reason for upgrading the package officially confirmed, and the sooner you know it, the more you earn.

Many friends said that they had received a call from 10086, and the people on the phone claimed to be mobile staff. In fact, even if the person on the other side of the phone doesn’t take the initiative to introduce us, we will think it is the official staff of the mobile phone, because the phone number 10086 is really special. But I want to remind everyone here that when you receive a phone call that can help you upgrade your package for free, the opposite person is probably not a real staff member.

In fact, this information is leaked, and the other party will call himself a mobile staff member to make a wide range of calls after getting this information. If you upgrade the package, your package fee will definitely be higher than the previous package. At this time, the other party will tell you that they will refund a certain fee in the first few months of the package upgrade. In short, it makes you feel very cost-effective, and some people will give in to the temptation and agree.

According to the former mobile employee, if a user can successfully upgrade 38 yuan’s package to 48 yuan’s package, he can get the commission accumulated to 34 yuan, and if he persuades the user to set up a mobile broadband, he can get 60 yuan again. It should be said that after the user upgrades the package, the relevant salesmen get a commission.

This is expected by everyone, but it is not clear how high the proportion is. However, if you change your 48 yuan package to 38 yuan, you may be fined 200 yuan, which is a bit unbelievable. We sometimes go to the mobile business hall and want to lower the package. Salespeople often prevaricate for various reasons, but we can’t do it in short. This is the main reason!

After moving from Shenzhen to Zaozhuang, this well-known pharmaceutical chain started the A-share IPO.

Original Economic Herald Shandong Financial Report

Reporter | Duan Haitao

After moving from Shenzhen to Zaozhuang, Shandong Neptune Star Pharmaceutical Chain Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Neptune Star"), a well-known domestic pharmaceutical chain enterprise, started the journey of A-share IPO.

The Economic Herald reporter noted that Nepstar signed an IPO counseling agreement with CITIC Securities on August 29, and conducted counseling and filing in Shandong Securities Regulatory Bureau on August 31. As a company delisted from the New York Stock Exchange in 2016, whether Nepstar can land in A shares as a Shandong enterprise and let Zaozhuang add another listed company is quite interesting.

Nepstar rushed to the market as a "Lu enterprise"

According to the counseling record report, Nepstar was established in June 2004 with a registered capital of 474,226,800 yuan, and its legal representative is Zhang Simin. The registered address of the company is New Pharmaceutical Industrial Park, High-tech Zone, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province. Shenzhen Haihe Investment Development Co., Ltd. holds 52.82% of the shares and is the controlling shareholder. It is reported that CITIC Securities’ tutoring work for Neptune will last from September to November, 2023, and the time is quite tight.

The Economic Herald reporter learned that Neptune Star was originally a Shenzhen enterprise, and its registered address was moved to Zaozhuang in 2022.

Eye-catching shows that in November 2022, Nepstar changed its registered address from Nanshan District of Shenzhen to Zaozhuang High-tech Zone, and its company name was also changed from Shenzhen Nepstar Commercial Development Co., Ltd. to Shandong Nepstar Health Technology Co., Ltd. In April 2023, the company name was changed to Nepstar Pharmaceutical Chain Group Co., Ltd. again, and in June 2023, the company name was changed to its current name.

In fact, Neptune is well-known in the field of pharmaceutical chain.

According to official website information, Nepstar started from the first community retail pharmacy in 1996, and now it has realized the evolution of more than 4,000 health chain pharmacies distributed in more than 70 first-and second-tier cities in China, with more than 80 million members online and offline. According to reports, Nepstar is determined to be a professional health pharmacy closer to consumers. More than 80% of the stores are community pharmacies, which are the closest to consumers and are the most convenient places for community residents to buy medicines and health consultation.

The reporter of Economic Herald learned that Nepstar pharmacies are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin and other provinces and cities, and the outlets in Shandong are mainly distributed in Qingdao and Weifang. According to the map of official website, there are about 50 pharmacies in Kuiwen District of Weifang, and the outlets are quite dense.

According to official website of Neptune Group, the annual sales scale of Neptune Star exceeds 10 billion, ranking among the top in the industry.

In order to further understand the listing target plate of Nepstar and the current situation of the company, the reporter of Economic Herald called Nepstar on September 6, and the relevant person said that it was "unclear". She also needed to know the situation from other personnel, and she did not respond to the request for providing the contact information of the specific responsible department.

Neptune Group has a lot of interaction with Zaozhuang.

Before the launch of the A-share IPO, Neptune had a listing trip in the US stock market.

According to media reports, in November 2007, Nepstar landed on the new york Stock Exchange, becoming the first chain pharmacy in China to be listed on the NYSE, raising more than 380 million US dollars, which was the highest for the listed companies in China pharmaceutical industry that year. After the listing of US stocks, Nepstar once became the largest chain pharmacy in China. However, since 2010, Neptune’s business situation has turned sharply. By July 2015, Nepstar announced its delisting from the US stock market, and completed related work in 2016.

The reporter of the Economic Herald noted that during the "wasted years" of Neptune, many chain pharmacies in China were listed on A-shares one after another, and achieved leap-forward development. For example, the number of pharmacies in Yifeng Pharmacy and Renmin (603883. SH) exceeded 10,000 in 2022, and Shuyu Civilian in Shandong landed in July 2021.

After the Growth Enterprise Market, the number of stores quickly exceeded 5,000 in 2022, but Neptune gradually fell behind.

"Many A-share chain pharmacies have expanded the number of stores through listing. If Neptune wants to catch up with the first echelon, listing is a more effective way." Feng Yue, a private equity fund manager in Jinan, told the Economic Herald reporter.

The Economic Herald reporter found out that before Neptune moved to Shandong to start the A-share IPO, Neptune Group had increasingly close ties with Zaozhuang.

According to official website, Neptune Group was founded in Shenzhen in 1989. Over the past 30 years, the company has focused on the innovation and development of the medical and health industry. At present, there are two listed companies, Neptune Bio and Neptune Intelon. In 2022, the sales scale of the group reached 90 billion, with 35,000 employees, and its comprehensive strength was in the forefront of the pharmaceutical industry in China. Neptune Star is an important member of Neptune Group’s medical business map.

In 2021, the key project of Haiwang Group, Haiwang Youpin Headquarters and Health Industry Production Base, settled in Zaozhuang, and also laid out the Haiwang Health Town Project. According to media reports, the Haiwang Premium Production Base project has a total investment of 6 billion yuan, which will be built in two phases. The main products are health foods such as special medical foods, special dietary products and protein powder, with an annual output of 200 million cans and an annual output value of more than 12 billion yuan.

On August 21st, 2022, the signing ceremony of Neptune Star (Headquarters) and Neptune Medicine Intelligent Manufacturing Base was held in Zaozhuang. Zhang Simin, chairman of Neptune Group, said that the formal signing of the contract between Neptune Group and Zaozhuang High-tech Zone marked that the medical and health industry cluster jointly planned and laid out by both parties officially landed in Zaozhuang.

In February 2023, when Zhang Simin led a delegation to visit Zaozhuang, he said that Neptune Group would further give play to its brand advantages, and at the same time accelerate the construction of medical intelligent logistics platforms, health care products and traditional Chinese medicine preparations, increase the inclination of funds and resources, and promote more projects with high added value and high potential value to be laid out in Zaozhuang.

It is worth looking forward to whether Neptune can land in A shares as an Zaozhuang enterprise this time.

Strive to build an Internet that "gives people more sense of gain, happiness and security"

  After half a century’s development, the Internet has become a relatively independent space for human activities, which is interrelated with the real world, and has turned the world into a "global village". After a quarter of a century of development, China has become the country with the largest number of network users, the widest network coverage, the largest network use field, the fastest development of network technology and the greatest benefit to the people. The Internet has become an important space and means for people to study, work and live. Based on the increasing importance of Internet development for human development and people’s happiness, the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to Internet development. The Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out that Internet development "must implement the people-centered development thought" and "make the Internet better benefit the country and people", and put forward the important concept of "building a community of cyberspace destiny". To this end, in his congratulatory letter to the Sixth Internet Conference, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader issued an initiative and call to the world to develop, use and manage the Internet well, which not only complied with the objective trend of Internet development, but also reflected the wishes of the people and the requirements of mankind.

  First, carry out the development idea of "people-centered" and definitely "develop" the Internet.

  In his speech at the symposium on network security and informatization, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "To develop the network information business, we must implement the people-centered development idea" and "provide useful, affordable and well-used information services for ordinary people, so that hundreds of millions of people can have more sense of gain in sharing the fruits of Internet development".

  First, establish the concept of "people-centered" Internet development, continuously improve the understanding of the relationship between Internet development and people’s livelihood and people’s happiness, and provide ideological and cognitive guarantee for the "good development" of the Internet.

  Generally speaking, the Internet is still a new thing, and people have a process of deepening their understanding of the existence and development of the Internet. Since the 18th National Congress, our Party has been far-sighted, stood at the height of human destiny and people’s happiness, revealed the development trend of the Internet, and made clear the important functions and missions of the Internet in promoting human development and ensuring people’s happiness. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward the idea of "people-centered" in Internet development and the idea of "building a community of destiny in cyberspace". To develop the Internet well, we must make the whole party firmly establish the concept of "people-centered", and ideologically realize that it is also the practice of the party’s initial heart and mission to make people have more sense of gain, happiness and security in the development of the Internet, and truly realize a high degree of consciousness in ideological understanding, thus providing ideological guarantee for the development of the Internet.

  Second, formulate policies and systems that adapt to the development of the Internet and the requirements of the people, and provide policy and system guarantees for "developing" the Internet.

  The development of the Internet has become an important space and way for people to work and live, and it has also become an important way for the party and the government to keep close contact with the people, which is related to all aspects of the country, society and people. In his congratulatory letter to the Sixth Internet Conference, the Supreme Leader General Secretary also clearly pointed out that new technologies, new applications and new formats are in the ascendant, and the Internet has ushered in stronger development momentum and broader development space. It is precisely because the development space of the Internet is growing, and it is related to thousands of households and the national economy and people’s livelihood. Its development must have scientific policy and institutional basis, so as to achieve regulatory development and scientific development. The Party and the government should formulate policies and suggestions for the scientific development of the Internet according to the objective laws and development trends of the Internet and the functions and roles of the Internet in national rejuvenation, people’s happiness, national prosperity and human progress. Under the guidance of the Party’s thought of strengthening the country by network, the legislature should formulate laws and regulations conducive to the development of the Internet, thus laying a policy and legal basis for the "good development" of the Internet.

  Third, support and promote the innovation and entrepreneurship of new technologies, new applications and new formats, and provide technical and application support for "developing" the Internet.

  Internet is the product of high-tech development, and it also depends on the continuous development of high-tech. The development of science and technology has the characteristics of high investment and high risk, and the whole society must form a pattern that is conducive to guiding and encouraging scientific and technological enterprises and scientific and technological personnel to innovate and start new Internet technologies. In the final analysis, the competition in today’s world is the competition of science and technology, and Internet technology and cyberspace are the main fields and battlefields of competition. Internet technology is also the "core technology" and "national weapon" in today’s technological development, which is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, as well as international competition and human progress. In his congratulatory letter, the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that new technologies, new applications and new formats such as artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things are in the ascendant, so we must intensify innovation in these fields, stay in the forefront of the world, arm the Internet with updated technologies, develop the Internet with updated applications, and prosper the Internet with updated formats, thus providing technical support for the "good development" of the Internet.

  Second, with the aim of "making people have more sense of gain and happiness", we must make good use of the Internet.

  The development of the Internet makes its position more and more important and its role more and more important. If it cannot be used well, its position and role will not be reflected. Therefore, in his congratulatory letter, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader particularly emphasized the need to "make good use of" the Internet.

  First, the party and government organs serving the people should make good use of the Internet.

  The Internet is developing faster and better, and it has become an important way for the Party and the government to contact and communicate with the people. Various government affairs of the party and government organs are electronic and convenient through the Internet, and the people are more and more fond of and accustomed to handling various related affairs through the Internet. From this perspective, the party and government organs and staff should "make good use" of the Internet, so that people can have more sense of gain and happiness, which is the concrete embodiment of the party’s initial intention and mission, that is, to implement and practice the "people-centered" development thought. To "make good use" of the Internet, the party and government organs should conduct the affairs related to the people’s vital interests through the Internet as much as possible, and ensure that the people are simple, convenient and affordable in handling related affairs on the Internet, and develop in the direction of zero distance and all-weather, so that the people can truly feel the respect of the party and the government for the "people’s dominant position" through the Internet, thus increasing the people’s sense of acquisition and happiness.

  Second, enterprises and institutions that provide various services to the people should make good use of the Internet.

  With the development of the Internet, it has become the main way for businesses to connect with consumers, and various e-commerce models and marketing methods have emerged one after another. Selling and consuming on the Internet has become the basic way of business development in the new era. People are more and more fond of consulting, making decisions and implementing consumption behavior through the Internet, and more and more people are also employed and starting businesses through the Internet. The development of the Internet requires Internet companies to take people’s sense of gain and happiness as an important operating concept, because only when people have a sense of gain and happiness in the Internet will they trust, like and support the Internet, and Internet commerce will achieve healthy development. Under the guidance of this concept, Internet companies must adhere to the principle of user first and provide safe, convenient, practical and affordable services, so that users have a clear sense of gain in economic cost, time cost, energy cost and psychological cost, thus enhancing their happiness.

  Third, all Internet users should make good use of the Internet.

  The Internet connects every user and every netizen, realizing "intimate contact" without space distance and time interval. The connection mode, contact method, communication content and communication purpose between people are directly related to their sense of acquisition and happiness. This requires every user and netizen to use the Internet in a scientific and compliant manner, abide by industry rules in all Internet behaviors, create a network environment that is safe to use and harmonious to interact, and release love, convey goodwill, win trust, make friendship and gain happiness in the Internet.

  Third, take the sacred responsibility of "making people feel more secure" and "manage the Internet well"

  The rapid development of the Internet has made it an important field for people to gain and realize their sense of security, which makes it an important and urgent task for the party and the country to "govern" the Internet. "Good governance" of the Internet is not only an inevitable requirement of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, but also an important embodiment of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

  First, strengthen the supervision responsibility and governance means of the Internet management department, making it a reliable guarantee for "governing" the Internet.

  Internet has become an important position for ideological construction, and also an important "battlefield" for various ideological expressions and struggles, which is directly related to national ideological security and people’s beliefs. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed the need to strengthen the Party’s leadership over ideological work on the Internet. The Party’s ideological authorities should attach great importance to the ideological work on the Internet, take the initiative to assume the responsibility of supervision, strengthen the ideological education of the Internet team, persist in arming the brain with the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and build the Internet into a spiritual highland and a sacred place of faith for the people of China. At the same time, the competent department of ideology should actively guide, support and reward Internet security technology enterprises to develop and create various advanced technologies that are conducive to the detection and supervision of ideological security on the Internet, so that they can reduce and eliminate ideological security risks from the source and make people feel spiritual and psychological security on the Internet. At the same time, we should also attach importance to, encourage, support and reward the development and application of related technologies related to people’s property safety and personal rights and interests safety, and constantly enhance people’s sense of security when using the Internet.

  Second, strengthen the law enforcement of Internet law enforcement departments, so that Internet enterprises and users can use the Internet according to law and build the Internet into a safe and reliable "clean place".

  It is the responsibility and obligation of every Internet user to make people feel more secure on the Internet. On the basis of defining the security responsibility of Internet users in policies and laws, Internet law enforcement departments should strictly enforce the law, so as to ensure that there is no dead space and time for Internet security supervision, and those who cause hidden dangers of Internet security, especially the security consequences, must be held accountable according to law. Internet companies must fulfill their security obligations in providing services and information, and ensure the ideological security of various services and the security of information, services, payment and processes, so that network users can use the Internet safely and securely, and enhance people’s trust and security in the Internet. Every netizen should also use the internet according to the law, so that every behavior of himself can come from goodwill, love, compliance with the law and safety. If every Internet user can use the Internet according to laws and regulations, and Internet law enforcement departments can supervise it according to laws and regulations, the Internet will certainly be built into a "clean place" that "makes people feel more secure".

Seal 06, an autonomous medium-sized car, has large space and high configuration.

Buying a car is for sitting, and comfort configuration plays a very important role. The higher the comfort configuration, the better the consumer experience. What I bring to you today is that it has many highlights. Now let’s follow Xiaobian to see what it has done.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Seal 06 first. The front shape of Seal 06 looks elegant and sporty. The headlights are dignified and the design takes the sports route. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the car side, the car body size is 4830MM*1875MM*1495MM. The car adopts fashionable and dynamic lines, and the car side looks very avant-garde. With large-sized thick-walled tires, it looks full of sports. In the design of the rear end, the overall shape of the rear end echoes the front end, and the taillights are very spiritual and very stable.

Sitting in the car, the interior of Seal 06 looks very dynamic and lively, which makes people feel very elegant. The steering wheel of the car is very tough and made of leather, which looks a bit more atmospheric. Take a look at the central control, and decorate it with a 15.6-inch central control screen, which makes the interior design quite layered and gives people a cool feeling. Let Xiaobian introduce the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable, giving people a very elegant feeling. The car uses leather seats, which are wide and thick, and the overall comfort and wrapping are not bad.

The space in the trunk of Seal 06 is quite satisfactory. If some large objects need to be loaded, the rear seats also support proportional reclining, which is enough for home use. At the same time, the car is equipped with anti-lock braking (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD), traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), main driving airbag, co-pilot airbag, side airbag curtain, front side airbag and other safety configurations.

What’s your main impression of this car after reading the whole article? This car has been introduced almost before, and I believe many users who buy a car have taken a fancy to its comfort and practicality.

Running man exposed Reuters, played through Lu Han and the Republic of China, and smiled back to "silly roe deer" for a second.

1905 movie network news Today (April 17th) afternoon, a group of Lu Han’s Republic of China costumes on the Internet caused a frenzy among netizens. Is it possible to shoot a new play? Actually, it’s a brand-new Reuters photo of the running man.


In the photo, Lu Han, with gray hair, dressed as a young gentleman of the Republic of China, with the word "honesty" affixed to his clothes, is really talented. The underwear of these sweatpants is also very chic and fashionable.

However, no matter what you wear, Brother Lu still has the strength to laugh back at "silly spores" for a second.


Netizens also said: "Young Master, do you still need a servant girl?" "I don’t know if I should let him play costume or play a drama of the Republic of China first."


Riders with Ruifeng m3 share their feelings about using the car. Eleven want to start.

The overall performance of Ruifeng M3 has been recognized by riders, especially in terms of space and power. ?

However, there are also some details that are not satisfactory, such as configuration, interior design and sound insulation effect. The following are some specific car feelings and suggestions:

Space and power: riders are generally satisfied with the space of Ruifeng M3, and think that the space is very spacious whether carrying people or pulling goods. In terms of power, Ruifeng M3 also performed well, with obvious push-back feeling when accelerating, fast start, no sense of frustration and high braking sensitivity. These characteristics make Ruifeng M3 competitive in the commercial vehicle market. ?

Configuration and interior: Some riders mentioned that the configuration of Ruifeng M3 is relatively low, and it may be necessary to install some additional equipment, such as central control and large screen. In terms of interior, some riders think that the interior design is simple, which is not suitable for young people, and the smell inside the new car is large. These deficiencies may affect the comfort and experience of vehicles. ?

Fuel consumption and control: As for fuel consumption, some riders said that the actual fuel consumption is slightly higher than the table, which may be around 9.0L-10.0L/100km. In terms of handling, although the steering wheel has good directivity, the shock absorption effect is general, and it may feel bumpy when driving on uneven roads. ?

Car advice: If you plan to buy Ruifeng M3, I suggest you carefully consider your needs before buying a car. If you need a commercial vehicle with large space and sufficient power, Ruifeng M3 is a good choice. However, if you have high requirements for interior design, configuration and comfort, you may need to consider other options. At the same time, considering that the actual fuel consumption may be slightly higher than the table, the car purchase budget needs to be adjusted accordingly. ?

瑞风M3

To sum up, Ruifeng M3 has excellent performance in space and power, and is suitable for users who need large space and strong power. However, there is still room for improvement in configuration, interior design and comfort. When buying a car, it needs to be considered comprehensively according to personal needs and budget. ?

Progress in the situation in Russia and Ukraine: Russia says it is ready for negotiations but does not consider a ceasefire. Ukraine says it will not accept any compromise with Russia.

  China news agency, Beijing, September 24 th Comprehensive news: Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on the 23rd that Russia is ready to negotiate on the Ukrainian issue, but will not consider any ceasefire proposal. Podolyak, adviser to the Ukrainian President’s Office, said on social media on 23rd that any form of compromise with Russia is unacceptable.

  According to the Tass news agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a news conference after the 78th UN General Assembly on 23rd that Russia is ready to negotiate on the Ukrainian issue, but will not consider any ceasefire proposal. Lavrov also said that Russia will not have "any contact" with Ukrainian President Zelensky.

  Last October, Uzbek President Zelensky signed a decree banning negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to this decree, it is impossible for Uzbekistan to negotiate with Russia during Putin’s presidency.

  According to the report, Lavrov said earlier that the longer Ukraine delays negotiations with Russia, the more difficult the subsequent negotiations will be.

  Podolyak, adviser to the Ukrainian President’s Office, said on social media on 23rd that Ukraine has always explained to its partners that any form of compromise with Russia is unacceptable. He said that without Russia’s clear failure and fundamental changes in the security architecture, any "peace with Putin" would only mean "interruption before a new round of war."

  Podolyak said that no Ukrainian is happy about the prospect of a long-term "war of attrition", but Ukraine has no other way to go.

  According to Sputnik news agency & radio, the Information Office of Russian Defense Ministry reported on 23rd that Russian air defense system shot down 257 Ukrainian drones in the past week. The Russian Defense Ministry also said that the Russian armed forces carried out 12 strikes against Ukrainian military facilities within one week, which severely damaged the supply guarantee and combat capability of the Ukrainian army.

  According to the Kiev Independent, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Veleshuk urged Ukrainians to leave Crimea on social media on the 23rd.

  According to the report, the news was released after several attacks in Crimea, and the Ukrainian army has claimed responsibility for some of them. It is not clear how many Ukrainians live in Crimea.

  According to Sputnik news agency & radio, the Russian Defense Ministry said on the 23rd that in the past week, the Russian air defense system shot down five missiles and 37 unmanned aerial vehicles in Crimea.

  The Associated Press quoted the analysis of military experts on the 24th, pointing out that in recent weeks, Ukraine has been attacking Russian naval facilities in Crimea more and more, and Ukraine must continue to attack the targets in Crimea, so as to demoralize the Russian army and weaken its army.

  The US media previously reported that the United States will provide Ukraine with the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) with a longer range. In this regard, Sean Bell, a military expert of British Sky TV, said on the 23rd that Ukraine relies heavily on western military aid to support its highly active and consumptive counterattack. The longer the weapon range, the farther the Russian military logistics supply base will be from the front line, which can limit the Russian military’s ability to respond quickly to the front line demand. However, western countries have been worried that the long-range weapons they provide will be used to attack targets in Russia, thus triggering an escalation of the conflict.

  Bell said that if the Ukrainian army uses ATACMS, all Russian soldiers and Russian military equipment occupied by Russia in Ukraine will be within range. (End)

Positioning pure electric four-door coupe BMW i4 spy photos for the first time.

In the field of electric vehicles, Tesla has taken the lead and has occupied a large market in North America. Traditional car manufacturers are trying to catch up. After i3, i8 and iX3, BMW will also launch a pure electric four-door coupe i4, and the new car is expected to be released around 2021.

Based on the CLAR architecture, i4 is positioned in a medium-sized four-door coupe, which is a pure electric version of the brand-new 4 Series.

The side is designed with a large sliding back, and it is expected to have frameless doors and hatchback tailgates.

BMW i4 is expected to launch two versions of single-motor rear-drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive. The acceleration of the four-wheel drive model from 0 to 100 km/h is expected to reach 200km/h in 4 seconds, and the maximum cruising range may reach 600km.

The BMW i4 may mostly draw on the design elements of the i Vision Dynamics concept car, which was released at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2017 and represents the prototype design of BMW’s new pure electric four-door coupe.

By 2025, BMW will launch no less than 25 new energy vehicles, 12 of which are pure electric vehicles. The future market competitor of this BMW i4 may be Tesla Model 3.

Among the three luxury brands, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, BMW’s new energy strategy was implemented relatively early, and i3 and i8 models were launched as early as 2013, but the market performance in recent years is not excellent. In 2020, BMW will make domestic medium-sized pure electric SUV iX3, and in 2021, it will release pure electric four-door coupe i4, hoping that these two models can really put pressure on Tesla.

Pei Changhong: the new goal and task of building a modern economic system.

  The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out: "China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and it is in the key period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. Building a modern economic system is an urgent requirement for crossing the barrier and a strategic goal for China’s development." 2018 is the first year to implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress. In accordance with the ideas and requirements of high-quality development set by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Central Economic Work Conference, we should concentrate on major events that are beneficial to both the present and the long term, and achieve higher-quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable development by improving efficiency, so as to lay a solid foundation for the construction of a modern economic system.

  First, the basic judgment of economic trends

  The global economy has moved from "new mediocrity" to "slow recovery", and the external environment has improved. Most of the comprehensive leading indicators of developed economies and emerging market economies have stabilized and improved, indicating that the global economy is gradually coming out of the trough, and the trend of world economy from differentiation to synchronous recovery is more obvious. From the perspective of developed economies, positive factors such as active manufacturing industry, strong financial market, and generally good employment and inflation situation are expected to continue, with major developed economies such as the United States, Japan and Europe heading for 2.0%— The growth range of 2.5% is close. From the perspective of emerging market economies, favorable factors such as warmer trade, improved market investment environment and relatively stable commodity prices are expected to continue, with emerging markets and developing economies heading for 4.0%— The growth interval of 4.5% converges. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have steadily raised their global economic growth forecasts for 2018, and they are also optimistic about China’s economic growth. The global economy has improved more than in 2017, and external demand has accelerated export growth, creating a favorable external environment for China’s economic growth than in the previous two years.

  Domestic supply and demand have formed a "rebalancing" trend, and the coordination of development has been continuously enhanced. China’s economy has been going down for six consecutive years, but it has always kept running in a reasonable range. From the supply side, the development of traditional industries and emerging industries tends to be more coordinated, industries tend to be stable after de-capacity, the proportion of emerging industries and service industries increases steadily, and their contribution to economic growth increases. It is estimated that the added value of industries above designated size and tertiary industry will increase by about 6.5% and 7.8% respectively in 2018. The growth of the "Troika" on the demand side is more balanced, the reduction of investment growth rate is basically in place, the momentum of consumption upgrading remains unchanged, exports continue to pick up, and the growth rates of the three major demands tend to be synchronized. 1— 2017; In November, investment in fixed assets, total retail sales of social consumer goods and exports increased by 7.2%, 10.2% and 8.0% respectively, down by 1.1 percentage points, down by 0.6 percentage points and accelerated by 15.5 percentage points respectively compared with the same period in 2016. It is estimated that investment in fixed assets, total retail sales of social consumer goods and exports will increase by 8.0%, 10.2% and 7.0% respectively in 2018.

  The market continues to show a stable phenomenon of moderate prosperity. The overall price level will be moderate and controllable, and the sufficient supply of agricultural products will create conditions for the basic stability of prices. There are not many new price increase factors in industrial products and services, the terminal demand of important commodities is relatively stable, and the pressure of imported inflation is weak. 1— 2017; On average, the producer price (PPI) and consumer price (CPI) in November increased by 6.4% and 1.5% respectively year-on-year, up by 8.4 percentage points and down by 0.5 percentage points respectively compared with the same period in 2016, ending the situation of "expansion and contraction coexisting" for many years. It is estimated that the inflation level (CPI) in 2018 may be slightly higher than that in 2017, and there will be no obvious increase. After a certain degree of fluctuation in the past two years, the market will return to rationality, and the five major markets will maintain a stable operation overall. The production and sales of the automobile market have returned to a stable growth pattern, the "just-needed" and improved demand of the property market are well supported, the stock market has shown signs of "slow cattle", the bond market continues to be calm, and the two-way floating foundation of the RMB exchange rate is relatively solid. The great potential and resilience of China’s economy, supplemented by a good market and price environment, provide a basic guarantee for the economy to maintain a stable and positive development momentum.

  The macro-policy orientation is moderate, and the sustainability of development is guaranteed. In 2018, we must still adhere to the general tone of steady progress, and the orientation of a proactive fiscal policy and a stable and neutral monetary policy will not change. From the perspective of monetary policy, the era of global monetary policy is basically over, and China’s monetary policy will gradually turn to overall tightening. However, according to changes in the situation, various policy tools will be flexibly used to inject reasonable liquidity into the market. From the perspective of fiscal policy, optimizing fiscal expenditure structure and structural tax reduction are still the policy priorities, and we will still make a fuss about making up shortcomings and reducing costs. In recent years, China has comprehensively promoted the pilot reform of the camp, and the accumulated tax reduction has exceeded one trillion yuan, and investment in short-board areas such as agriculture, transportation, water conservancy, environmental protection and public facilities has been significantly strengthened. In addition, the supply-side structural reform has entered a new stage of paying equal attention to "addition and subtraction", paying more attention to the institutional supply of reform and the coordination and matching of reform, so as to improve efficiency and promote both "stock optimization" and "incremental improvement" of the supply system and promote high-quality economic development. These policies are conducive to accelerating the continuous transformation of old and new kinetic energy in the structural optimization of the economy, and the simultaneous efforts of old and new kinetic energy provide a solid foundation for the economy to maintain a stable and healthy operation. It is estimated that China’s GDP will increase by about 6.8% in 2018, which is basically the same as that in 2017.

  Second, the outstanding problems in economic operation

  At present, the structural contradictions that restrict the stable and healthy operation of the economy are still outstanding, and the problem of insufficient development imbalance has not been solved. Mainly in the following six aspects.

  (A) the real economic benefits are low

  The profitability of entity enterprises is not strong. At present, the profit rate of main business income of industrial enterprises is only about 6%, which is far lower than the average profit rate of more than 15% in the financial sector, and a large number of enterprises in some industries have been losing money for a long time. In 2017, the profit growth of entities rebounded significantly, but the profit growth rate in the past five years did not reach the 2011 level. Under the double squeeze of internal and external, rising costs and insufficient innovation have become the key factors restricting the transformation and upgrading of entity enterprises.

  (B) Investment efficiency tends to decline.

  In the first three quarters of 2017, the total investment in fixed assets in the whole society accounted for 77.3% of GDP. The rapid expansion of investment scale brought about a significant decline in the marginal efficiency of investment, mainly reflected in the substantial increase in the incremental capital output ratio (ICOR). 2007— In 2016, the total amount of capital formation required for new unit GDP increased from 2.21 to 6.11, and the investment cost of creating unit output in China increased by about 2.8 times in the past 10 years. This high investment model is being constrained by the high local government debt and the decline of private investment enthusiasm.

  (C) Financial services to the real economy is not strong.

  The imbalance in the allocation of financial resources is mainly manifested in the fact that the main service targets of the financial system dominated by state-owned banks are still state-owned enterprises and large and medium-sized enterprises, and private enterprises, especially small and micro enterprises, have been marginalized for a long time. At present, the number of small and micro enterprises in China accounts for more than 75% of the total number of enterprises, but the proportion of credit received is less than 20% for a long time. The problem that funds are divorced from reality is prominent. The main performance is that the manufacturing industry accounts for about 30% of GDP, and the credit funds obtained from financial institutions are less than 20%, while the credit funds are concentrated in real estate, local government financing platforms and other fields, accounting for more than 30% of the total, and some funds are idling within the financial system by adding leverage. The financial organization system, service system and supervision system are imperfect, which seriously restricts its initiative and initiative in serving the real economy.

  (D) Policy tightening effect may bring economic fluctuations.

  All localities have strengthened real estate regulation and control policies. In addition, the trend of monetary tightening and environmental protection policies have maintained a high-pressure situation, and the management of financial chaos has become stricter, which may lead to an increase in the risk of fluctuations in the real estate market, the rigid redemption of financial markets has been broken, the problem of difficult financing has become more prominent, and the overall compatibility and coordination of the industrial chain has declined. Resonance effect and chain reaction may lead to changes in social expectations and even trigger panic in some areas.

  (E) the people’s livelihood security policy is ineffective.

  The structural contradiction of employment is prominent, the phenomenon of "labor shortage" and "employment difficulty" coexist for a long time, the vocational skills of laid-off workers do not meet the needs of re-employment posts, the number of low-end jobs in traditional industries is reduced, and the shortage of high-skilled talents is more serious; There is a structural mismatch in the employment of college graduates, and the "quantity" and "quality" of employment do not match. The task of getting rid of poverty is very arduous, the cost of getting rid of poverty is higher and more difficult, the stability of getting rid of poverty is not enough, and the risk of returning to poverty due to illness, school and disaster still exists. The pressure of social security fund’s balance of payments has increased, and the areas where the pension fund can’t pay for the current period have increased, and the pressure of pension payment has increased.

  (six) the impact of external uncertainty still exists.

  The Trump administration tax reform in the United States has been passed, and it is expected to be implemented in 2018. Britain, France and other countries are also planning large-scale tax reduction policies, which may put continuous pressure on China to attract international capital. The attraction of the United States to the manufacturing industry will squeeze the development space of China’s real economy. Trade protectionism continues to rise, and the United States, Europe, India and other countries and regions have launched "double-opposition" investigations against China, and related actions may trigger other countries to follow suit, which will make it more difficult for China to deal with trade frictions. The geopolitical situation is unstable, and issues such as the Korean Peninsula, Palestine, Israel and Syria continue to ferment, which may affect the construction of the "Belt and Road" and international capacity cooperation.

  III. Policies and Measures to Achieve the Economic Work Target in 2018

  The Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that promoting high-quality development is the fundamental requirement for determining development ideas, formulating economic policies and implementing macro-control at present and in the future. Considering the short-term, medium-term and long-term convergence of economic objectives and tasks, we should take efficiency improvement as an important starting point of economic work in 2018, focus on major events that are beneficial to both the present and the long-term, achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable development through efficiency improvement, and lay a solid foundation for the construction of a modern economic system.

  (1) Reduce costs and burdens for enterprises and improve the real economic benefits.

  In the past two years, the five major tasks of "three to one, one reduction and one supplement" have achieved remarkable results, which have promoted "stock optimization" and "incremental improvement". At present, the supply-side structural reform has entered a new stage from "subtraction" to "addition and subtraction". To deepen the supply-side structural reform, we should start from the fundamental interests of market players and solve practical difficulties. Vigorously reduce the cost of entity enterprises, increase structural tax reduction, focus on reducing the tax burden level of manufacturing value-added tax, enterprise-related service charges, "five insurances and one gold" payment rate that enterprises are eagerly awaiting, clean up unreasonable hidden costs such as intermediary fees, financial expenses and institutional transaction costs attached to enterprises, deepen the reform of electric power, oil and gas, railways and other industries, and reduce energy consumption and logistics costs. Enhance the innovation ability of entity enterprises. At the macro level, through policy support, we will formulate an action plan for the development of innovative industries, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, improve the soft environment such as market competition and intellectual property protection, implement the policy of protecting property rights, and stimulate entrepreneurship; At the micro level, it helps enterprises in the real economy to use new technologies, new models and new methods, establish modern management systems, improve management and technical level, tap potential and increase efficiency in a market-oriented way, and improve labor productivity.

  (B) in the "short board" to activate the vitality of private capital, improve investment efficiency.

  Optimizing the government investment structure and stimulating the vitality of private investment pay equal attention to creating more and higher quality economic output with the same capital investment. We will implement a proactive fiscal policy, increase investment in key areas and weak links such as industrial development shortcomings, industrial development standards, people’s livelihood, environmental protection, reduce budget arrangements for projects with low performance, and increase balanced transfer payments and financial subsidies for difficult areas. We will fight a tough battle against pollution and continue to strengthen investment in ecological civilization construction such as air pollution prevention and control and land greening. Formulate supporting policies and implementation rules for private investment as soon as possible, further relax market access, enhance the willingness of private capital to participate in PPP and other projects, boost private investment confidence and release effective investment potential.

  (3) Overcoming difficulties and improving the reform performance in key areas

  The reform has entered a deep-water area and a critical period, and its complexity, sensitivity and arduousness are unprecedented, especially in the areas of administrative system, state-owned enterprises and income distribution. It is necessary to strengthen the implementation of existing policies. In particular, we should deepen the reform in streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services and further improve the system of power list and responsibility list. Accelerate the promotion of negative list management pilot, establish a government regulation toolbox for traditional industries, and innovate prudential supervision methods for new industries, new formats and new models. Combine the reform of state-owned enterprises with "deleveraging", accelerate the reform of mixed ownership of state-owned enterprises and the management system of state-owned capital, promote the bankruptcy and reorganization of zombie enterprises with long-term losses and insolvency, and improve the efficiency of state-owned capital investment. Vigorously promote the reform of the income distribution system, standardize the income distribution system of farmers’ land circulation, and increase farmers’ property income. Establish an open and fair comprehensive evaluation mechanism for factor utilization efficiency, establish and improve the support and guarantee mechanism for financial and talent factors and the convenient and efficient factor trading mechanism. Accelerate the market-oriented reform of factor prices, integrate and upgrade the functions of factor trading platforms, and promote the free trade and market-oriented allocation of resource elements such as land, emission rights and energy use.

  (D) communication channels to prevent risks and improve the efficiency of financial services to the real economy.

  We should flexibly use all kinds of short-term and medium-term policy tools to serve the needs of the real economy. Optimize the credit allocation structure, establish a linkage mechanism between financial and real economic interests, expand the pilot scope of investment and loan linkage, accelerate the development of various regional small financial institutions, community financial service organizations, village banks and other financial entities at their own risk, actively develop platforms and channels for direct financing services, steadily develop financial derivatives, and expand the financing space of entity enterprises. We will fight hard to prevent and resolve key risks, improve the efficiency of financial supervision and the ability to prevent risks, closely monitor the risks that may be brought about by financial format innovation, and study and introduce supporting policies such as expanding the transfer scope of non-performing loans in the banking industry, improving batch transfer and expanding the autonomy of non-performing loans write-off.

  (5) Develop the digital economy and cultivate new industries, new formats and new economic models.

  The 19th National Congress proposed to build a modern economic system, mainly to solve how the real economy can realize the deep integration of digital economy and real economy by using big data, internet plus and artificial intelligence. The so-called digital economy actually refers to the application of digital knowledge and technology in economic activities. Looking at the development of digital economy from the global and China perspectives, in 2016, the digital economy accounted for 25% of the total global economy, and a quarter of production organizations were related to the digital economy. China’s digital economy is ahead of the world. At present, the scale of digital economy in China has reached more than 22 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 30% of the total GDP. Globally, the digital economy has developed mainly in the United States, China, Japan and Britain.

  To develop digital economy, we need a good policy environment first. Preferential policies have played a great role in promoting the development of digital economy in various places. Relatively speaking, the policies of the Yangtze River Delta and other pre-developed areas are favorable for promoting the development of digital economy. The second is talent. The development of digital economy needs high-end talents. Some regions have many effective policies in attracting talents, which have played a great role in promoting local talent gathering.

  (six) to promote technological innovation and promote the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry.

  In January 2018, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Three-year Action Plan to Enhance the Core Competitiveness of Manufacturing Industry (2018-2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan), which plans to organize and implement key technologies in key areas such as rail transit equipment, high-end marine and marine engineering equipment, intelligent robots, smart cars, modern agricultural machinery, high-end medical devices and medicines, new materials, manufacturing intelligence and major technical equipment in the next three years.

  To enhance the core competitiveness of manufacturing industry in the future, we should pay attention to the following three aspects. The first is the upgrade in the value chain, that is, the horizontal upgrade. Extending from manufacturing section to upstream, that is, advancing to R&D, design, creativity and standards, such as rail transit equipment industry; Extending downstream from the manufacturing section, that is, promoting to brands, channels, logistics and services, such as household appliances industry. The second is the upgrade on the value network, that is, vertical upgrade. Even in the manufacturing sector, it has been upgraded from a module supplier to a system integrator, and further upgraded to a rule designer, such as high-end ships and major technical equipment industries. The third is the innovation in value integration, that is, to create an "industry of the times". There have been major breakthroughs in the knowledge, informationization, intelligence, greening, service and human culture development of the manufacturing industry, and even the effect of "overtaking in lane change and overtaking in lane change" has taken place, and intelligent robots and other fields have been at the forefront of the world.

  (7) Further explore new paths of opening up and coordination, and improve the effectiveness of two-way opening up and regional development.

  Promote the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening up, relax market access in an orderly manner, continue to streamline the negative list and promote the pilot reform of the free trade pilot zone. We will implement the results of the first "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum, run the first China International Import Expo, and comprehensively improve the level of economic and trade cooperation with countries along the Belt and Road. Accelerate the docking with key national plans, platforms and projects such as Pakistan and Russia, and promote the construction of the main skeleton of "six corridors, six roads, multiple countries and multiple ports". Steadily promote the capital increase of Silk Road Fund and the establishment of capacity cooperation fund, promote the implementation of a number of influential capacity cooperation projects, and build a number of demonstration parks and demonstration bases. We will implement the strategy of regional coordinated development, accelerate the construction of major projects in key areas of ecology, transportation and industry in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, complete the planning of xiong’an new area with high quality, and push forward the construction vigorously, orderly and steadily. Do a good job in the construction of "one corridor, two corridors and three groups" in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and comprehensively improve the quality of economic development and the ability of sustainable development in this basin.

  (8) Take concrete measures to promote employment and benefit people’s livelihood, and improve the effectiveness of social security policies.

  Safeguard the bottom line of people’s livelihood and promote social harmony and stability. Carry out vocational skills training on a large scale, provide accurate employment assistance to people with special difficulties, actively explore new employment channels, encourage entrepreneurship to promote employment, and promote multi-channel employment and entrepreneurship of young groups such as college graduates and new generation of migrant workers. We will fight a tough battle against poverty with precision, focus on deep poverty-stricken areas, adjust measures to local conditions, make decisions according to people, households and villages, highlight industrial poverty alleviation, organize ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation, increase cooperation in poverty alleviation services, implement education poverty alleviation and health poverty alleviation policies, and reduce the number of poor people by 11 million. Make overall plans to promote the provincial-level coordination of endowment insurance, clean up and standardize the payment policy of endowment insurance, implement the central adjustment system of basic endowment insurance funds, and balance the burden of endowment insurance between regions. Efforts should be made to solve the problems of "school choice fever", "large class size", infant care and early childhood education services. We will speed up the establishment of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, and improve the long-term mechanism to promote the stable and healthy real estate market.
