Recently, the price of shipping is falling rapidly, which seems to indicate that the "profiteering era" of shipping is coming to an end.

On September 27th, Freightos Baltic Container Freight Index (FBX) showed that the global container freight rate was 4085 USD /FEU. In addition, the freight index of several domestic export containers has dropped. As of September 23rd, China’s export container freight index (SCFI) was 2,475.97 points, which was 5.1% lower than that of the previous period, including the routes in Europe, the eastern United States and the western United States.

From July to September in previous years, it was the traditional peak season for domestic goods export, but this year, at this node, the shipping cost has dropped one after another, showing the phenomenon of "the peak season is not prosperous", which inevitably makes the outside world confused.

Chen Zhen, a marine futures researcher at Founder Mid-term Futures Research Institute, told the 21st century business herald reporter that looking at the SCFI comprehensive freight index from 2010 to 2022, the freight rate in late September of that year dropped compared with that in early January, and there were "low peak seasons" in the third quarter of eight years. However, like this year, it was really rare for the market to fall for 17 weeks from the beginning of the year and for 15 weeks again from the middle of the year, with a drop of 60% in the first nine months. "The last time such a bear market happened was in 2015, and the cumulative decline in the first three quarters of that year was only 43.2%." He added.

The price of shipping, which has been falling for days, has even fallen to a new high. According to the staff of a freight forwarding company in Tianjin, the price of shipping about 40-foot TEUs to the west coast of the United States was about 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, but now it only needs about 3,000 yuan, a drop of over 60%.

Although many shipping companies have completed the goal of booking ships to expand their capacity, they have to make adjustments in the case of falling shipping prices. According to the data released by Drewry, a maritime consultancy, during the five weeks from September 19th to October 23rd, among the 750 scheduled voyages on major routes such as trans-Pacific (601099), trans-Atlantic (600558), Asia-Northern Europe and Asia-Mediterranean, 122 voyages were cancelled, with a cancellation rate of 16%.

Lan Xi, an analyst of Dongzheng Futures Shipping, told the 21st century business herald that the freight rate is expected to fall before the reality, and the freight rate is oversold under the influence of emotion. Starting from October, liner companies will take measures to suspend flights and protect prices to ease the downward trend of freight rates.

What are the reasons behind the drop in shipping prices from a height? When the shipping company’s capacity expansion hits the downward cycle of Shanghai shipping price, how will the profit be affected?

From "One Case Hard to Find" to "One Goods Hard to Find"

In fact, since the end of 2021, shipping prices have shown signs of "cooling down". And this year, the trend of the decline in shipping prices suddenly became rapid and rapid.

On September 27th, Freightos Baltic Container Freight Index (FBX) showed that the global container freight rate was 4085 USD /FEU. You know, on September 13th last year, the global container freight rate once soared to 11,134.44 USD /FEU, and today’s freight rate is only equivalent to that of January last year. According to this estimate, the global container freight rate has fallen by 63% from a high level so far.

Talking about the current drop in shipping freight, Zhang Yongfeng, chief consultant of Shanghai International Shipping Research Center, said in an interview with 21st century business herald that although the spot freight of international container shipping dropped more than last year’s high level, it was still higher than the pre-epidemic level as a whole. "From the perspective of industry cycle, the pre-epidemic container transportation market has been in the stage of bottoming out, which was greatly affected by the epidemic in the previous two years. The current drop in freight rates is also a normal fluctuation and a relatively rational callback. "

Although many interviewed experts believe that this wave of market is a normal return after the previous price surge, it is still quite rare that the superimposed freight rate drops sharply in the "slow peak season".

Zhang Yongfeng said: "In the past, July to October was the traditional peak season for container exports, and the export demand was relatively high. However, this year’s’ poor peak season’ was mainly due to the unsatisfactory performance of external demand."

He further stated that this phenomenon is mainly caused by the following factors: "First, Europe and the United States continue to replenish stocks, and commodity stocks are high. For example, the three major inventory indicators in the United States are at a high level; Secondly, in the context of the continuous interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the epidemic subsidies have been cancelled, and global liquidity has been tightened. The major economies in the world are deeply affected by rising raw material and energy prices and high inflation, and consumer demand has been greatly affected; At the same time, the recovery of overseas production capacity has also reduced the proportion of imported goods from China to some extent; In addition, the overall congestion situation in overseas ports has eased, the ship turnover rate and quasi-shift rate have increased rapidly, and the ship loading rate has declined. These factors have prompted the correction of shipping prices. "

In Chen Zhen’s view, the mismatch between supply and demand of transportation capacity, the shortage of supply chain and the persistent inflation abroad will continue to affect the global container transportation market. He said that even if the price of the shipping market falls further in the future, it is normal, because although the current overall freight rate has fallen below the same period in 2021, it is still much higher than the same period before 2020.

According to the data, in 2019 before the outbreak, the global average freight rate index (FBX) of Baltic containers was about 1400 USD /FEU. It can be seen that although the current shipping price has dropped, it is still much higher than the price at that time.

Although the freight rate has returned to rationality, the lack of external demand has become a new problem that many freight forwarding companies are worried about. A person in charge of a freight forwarding company in Guangzhou told the 21st century business herald that the most worrying thing at present is that the external order quantity continues to be weak. "If the external demand problem is not solved, the uncertainty of foreign trade will increase, and the entire container transportation market will be affected."

The medium and long-term shipping market will be at a low point.

In 2021, affected by factors such as supply chain interruption and surge in demand, international freight rates soared sharply. It is precisely because of this that many shipping companies unexpectedly ushered in a "highlight moment."

Looking back on the performance of many shipping giants in the past year, it can be said that they have earned a lot of money. According to the financial report of Maersk Group, the global shipping giant, its annual revenue in 2021 was US$ 62 billion, up 55% year-on-year, and its annual profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) tripled to a record US$ 24 billion, setting the highest profit level in the history of Danish enterprises.

Coincidentally, other major shipping companies in the world, such as mediterranean shipping company, CMA Steamship and HerBeurotte, also saw their performance soar. He Beurotte’s profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in 2021 was $12.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 316.1%; The net profit of CMA in 2021 rose by more than 900% year-on-year.

According to Drewry, a shipping consulting company, the total profit of the container transportation industry was only about 7 billion US dollars in 2019, and it expanded to 26 billion US dollars in 2020, and soared to 210 billion US dollars in 2021. This figure is expected to rise to 270 billion US dollars in 2022.

With record performance, shipping companies have been able to lay out their capacity in a big way. Taking COSCO Haikong (601919), a subsidiary of China shipping company COSCO Shipping Group, as an example, it is reported that after the epidemic, COSCO Haikong has placed orders for shipbuilding for four times, with new orders reaching 34 container ships and 590,000 TEUs, and its capacity expansion scale is second only to that of mediterranean shipping company and CMA. Among the shipping companies that expand their capacity, mediterranean shipping company has the largest booking scale. Since the beginning of this year, mediterranean shipping company has ordered and built 42 LNG dual-fuel container ships this year, with a value of more than 6 billion US dollars.

At present, the new ships ordered by shipping companies are launched one after another, and the transportation capacity of shipping companies will be greatly improved. Clarkson, a shipping brokerage company, predicts that the container fleet capacity will increase by 3.7% year-on-year this year and will increase by 8.1% in 2023.

In this regard, Chen Zhen said that many liner companies’ new ship orders were confirmed in the last year to 1.5 years. Considering the shipbuilding cycle of 1.5-2 years and the backlog of orders, it is very likely that after the new ship is launched, it has entered a bear market, so the decision to expand the capacity on a large scale at a high price is actually open to question.

Zhang Yongfeng also believes that liner companies have increased their capacity in the past two years, and a large number of new shipbuilding orders will be delivered in the next year, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the spot market. "Especially for some high-level shipbuilders who lack stable route networks, customer groups and ship management capabilities, they will probably face greater cost pressure."

It was hard to wait until the new ship was launched, but in the face of falling shipping prices, some liner companies had to take suspension measures to protect the price. In this case, will the profitability of shipping companies be affected? Zhang Yongfeng believes that the profitability of shipping companies will be relatively stable due to the high proportion of liner company directors’ associations between the end of last year and the beginning of this year and the relatively stable negotiated price.

However, the current price of the long association has been seriously upside down with the spot price. As of September 23rd, China’s export container freight index (CCFI), which reflects the overall transportation market (including spot agreement and long-term agreement), was 2,475.97, down 5.1% from last week, indicating that the coordinated price and spot price were upside down. Therefore, there are some cases in the market where some container shipping customers tear up the long-term association and ask for a new long-term agreement with the shipping company.

"As of August, there are 927 unfinished container ship orders in the world, totaling 7.034 million TEU, accounting for 27% of the existing total capacity, which is 1.4 times of the total capacity of the top ten liner companies in the world. This part of the new ship will be launched in 2023-2025. Moreover, although the new shipping environmental protection policy will be implemented next year, some ships will be eliminated or the speed will be limited, it is expected that more countries will relax the epidemic control measures and the ship turnover efficiency will further rise. Therefore, the original mismatch between supply and demand of transportation capacity will be greatly alleviated, and the market can no longer support the previous high freight rate. " Chen Zhen told reporters that the shipping market will be at a low point for a long time, and the performance is also difficult to improve significantly.

Lan Xi believes that the subsequent decline in freight rates is expected to slow down, but whether there will be a rebound depends on whether the marginal supply and demand can be significantly improved and whether the market sentiment will be repaired. She told reporters that even if the shipping price will rebound, it will only be staged. In the medium and long term, the weak cycle of freight rate is a foregone conclusion.

　

The report "China Public Donation Survey" recently released by National Development Research Institute of Peking University shows that the Internet has played a great role in the popularization of donations in the past year, and the main online donation channels are WeChat friends circle and Alipay.

"After the donation, more than half of the donors will pay attention to the donation effect and share information related to the donation, and generally feel that the world is full of hope and life is meaningful, especially after the donation of materials and time." Ma Jingjing, head of China Public Donation Research Project, introduced.

According to the research report, in the past year, as many as 80.9% of the respondents said that they had participated in donations. Among them, 45.9% participated in money donation, 31.7% in material donation, 23.0% in time donation and 35.2% in behavior donation. However, the history of public donation in China is generally short, with 61% of the donors donating for less than five years, mainly at random, and the number of donations is mostly 1-3 times a year, with an average annual donation amount of 383.7 yuan per person, which is still far from the mature countries and regions, and also shows that there is still great growth potential in the field of public donation in China.

Regarding donations, the topic of the effectiveness of "rationing donations" has recently attracted people’s attention. "Matching donation" means matching donation. Generally speaking, after an individual donor donates to a non-profit organization, the enterprise donates another sum of money to the same organization in an agreed proportion. In China, "distribution donation" mostly exists in the form of Internet public welfare. For example, on the "99 Public Welfare Day" initiated by Tencent, on the Internet platform, every time the public donates 1 yuan RMB, the relevant charities will match the donation amount.

According to the survey, due to the rapid development of "emerging market" in the field of public donation in China, "distribution donation" has played a positive role in promoting public participation in small-scale charity. "This has become an incentive mechanism in China." Jin Jinping, an associate professor at Peking University Law School and director of the Research Center for Non-profit Organization Law, said.

Research Results of China Public Donation Research Project Team

Since 2016, the team of China Public Donation Research Project has been grabbing all the data of Tencent Public Welfare for research. The research data shows that from 2015 to now, 76.40% of the donations of Tencent’s public welfare platform come from the period of "distribution donation", which has brought significant growth in net fund-raising for various public welfare projects and public welfare organizations. Among them, the distribution of donations has a stronger pulling effect on the fund-raising effect of organizations with strong mobilization ability.

"Of course, at this stage, the effectiveness of’ distribution donation’ on some Internet platforms needs to be further improved. However, in the’ emerging market’ in the charity field like China, no other mechanism has been found to play a greater role than’ matching donations’. Therefore, we still have a lot of room for research and innovation on how to improve the effectiveness of’ distribution donation’. " Ma Jingjing said.

According to the statistics of "China Audio-Visual Big Data" (CVB), from October 16 to October 22, 2021, outstanding TV dramas celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and the TV series "Meritorious" with the focus of SARFT ushered in a grand finale; The industrial drama "Red Years" ended at a high viewing level; "Red Flag Canal", "Breakthrough" and "Forerunner" performed well when they started broadcasting.

Feixi County launched an emergency first-level response to flood control, and more than 180 party and government cadres and workers in sanhe town immediately joined the action of knocking on the door and organizing mass transfer.

"Old people, women and children get on the bus first." Li Aiqun from sanhe town Food Safety Office and four volunteers were busy guiding the people to board the bus at the gate, and the transfer team he was in charge of arranged more than 50 trips. At 9: 00 pm on the 19th, more than 28,000 people in low-lying areas of sanhe town were all safely transferred.

In the face of continuous heavy rainfall, all localities adhere to the people first and life first, and formulate personnel transfer plans in advance to prevent "one thousand" from happening with "10 thousand" efforts.

Smell the "flood season" and move, respond quickly and race against the flood.

From the shore of Poyang Lake to the shore of Dongting Lake, from the land of Jianghuai to Jianghan Plain … All localities closely monitor the rain and flood, fully implement the early transfer system according to the plan, and do their utmost to ensure the safety of people’s lives.

19.93 meters, 21.52 meters, 22.53 meters … Since early July, the water level in the jiujiang railway station of the Yangtze River has been rising, approaching the highest water level in history.

In the middle of the Yangtze River, Jiangzhou Town, Chaisang District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province is like a boat, swaying in the raging flood.

At 12 o’clock on July 12th, the water level in jiujiang railway station of the Yangtze River reached 22.77 meters, and the warning water level in Chaojiangzhou Town was 3.27 meters. Jiangzhou Town Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters issued an urgent notice, and all the sick and disabled in the town must be transferred before the 13th. Under the guidance of the staff, groups of residents boarded the ferry to the urban area. Luo Xiaonong, secretary of Chaisang District Party Committee, said that in just one day, more than 2,000 people were transferred from the local area.

In Anhui, affected by the recent heavy rainfall, the water level of Wangjiaba Station in the main stream of Huaihe River rose rapidly on the 19th. At 7 o’clock that night, the water level of Wangjiaba was 29.09 meters, only 0.21 meters away from the guaranteed water level. At 7 o’clock in the evening, Funan County, Anhui Province received instructions that all the people in the unsafe areas of four towns in Mengwa flood storage area need to be transferred before 3 am on the 20th to ensure that the flood storage area can be used at any time.

A big transfer of people racing against the flood started … At 3 am, the transfer of people in unsafe areas was basically completed. At 8: 32, the Wangjiaba sluice was opened to release flood water, and the rolling water rushed into the Mengwa flood storage area.

Don’t leave a family, don’t miss a person.

On the 18th, the National Defense General issued a notice, demanding to strengthen the investigation of potential risks and personnel transfer to avoid risks, resolutely and decisively transfer the threatened people, and fully ensure that every household should be turned, leaving no one behind.

On the 11th, when the water level exceeded 20 meters, the county started the Class I emergency response …

Tong Fei, a 33-year-old primary school teacher and a volunteer from party member, rode a motorcycle and carried a town cadre back and forth to inspect the flood-stricken Yangtze River Consolidation Fair. "Although people have moved, we have to knock on the door one by one, make phone calls one by one, and check with the resettlement site one by one to prevent a life from being in danger." He said.

Before the flood, Wangjiang County completed the transfer of more than 8,000 people.

Walking towards danger: rescue at a speed of life and death

On the 12 th, Jiangxi Xiuhe Triangle was connected.

The water level of Xiuhe River has exceeded the warning level for 8 days, breaking through the highest water level in history in 1998. At about 7: 40 p.m., the raging flood tore a gap in the triangle lianwei and rushed into it like a runaway wild horse.

"The water rose so fast that the house was flooded at once." Yuan Yangjian, a villager from Shuxia Village, Sanjiao Township, Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, recalled.

The flood is surging and the rescue is urgent.

Wu Xiaohua, deputy stationmaster of Jianchang Avenue Fire Station of Yongxiu County Fire Rescue Brigade, and his teammates rushed to the scene at the first time. Jiangxi Provincial Fire Rescue Corps also quickly mobilized Nanchang and Jiujiang fire rescue detachments to reinforce, and set up eight rescue teams to search and rescue 14 administrative villages in Triangle Township.

In the night, Wu Xiaohua and his teammates drove the assault boat, calling and searching. "From the evening to the next afternoon, there was almost no rest, and more than 4,000 people trapped or in distress were evacuated and rescued." His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was slightly hoarse.

In some places, some people were trapped because of the rapid flood.

In times of crisis, cadres at all levels in party member, officers and men of the Armed Police, fire fighters and blue sky rescuers took risks, evacuated and searched for the trapped people, and became "retrograde" in the rolling torrent.

"Come out! Come out! "

Looking at his parents sitting on a rubber boat from afar, Hu Shifu, a citizen of Lu ‘an City, Anhui Province, was full of excitement and waded forward.

From July 17 to 19, Lu ‘an was flooded with heavy rain. On the morning of the 19th, Hu Shifu tried to pick up his parents who lived in the village, but found that the road car leading to the village could not be opened.

At this time, his parents were trapped on the second floor of the house, and their mobile phones were dead, and they lost contact with the outside world.

"The fire brigade is here, is there anyone?" At noon, they finally looked forward to the "savior". With the help of fire fighters, they were successfully rescued.

Similar scenes appear everywhere:

In Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, 96 candidates who are about to take the senior high school entrance examination were trapped. When they were in a hurry, Yongxiu County Public Security Bureau dispatched two command boats to escort the children safely to the county test center.

In Shexian County, Anhui Province, a pregnant woman was about to give birth, but the road to the hospital was blocked by the flood. The officers and men of the armed police who heard the news took her to the hospital with a rubber boat and successfully gave birth to a baby …

In order to save the people from danger, many "retrograde people" disregard their personal safety.

From July 1 to 20, the average rainfall in Poyang County, Jiangxi Province was 435.9 mm, and the most towns and villages exceeded 700 mm, exceeding the annual rainfall in Beijing. Zhang Zhenxiang, secretary of the Poyang County Party Committee, said that in some low-lying areas in the village, party member cadres waded chest-deep water to rescue the masses, and in some places the floods reached their shoulders.

On the morning of July 9, Fang Aihong, a 45-year-old village party secretary in Qianyang Village, Xiejiatan Town, Poyang County, received a call for help from the masses, saying that she was trapped at home and was about to run out of food and water. She quickly found a boat, put on a life jacket, went to the town’s material distribution point to collect instant noodles and mineral water, and rushed to the homes of the trapped people.

When entering the village, a wave came and overturned the boat. Fang Aihong fell into the flood and hugged a piece of wood in desperation. The nearby villagers quickly rowed to rescue them, but because the boat was too small, Fang Aihong could only grab the edge of the boat and go ashore at a gentle place.

Fang Aihong cannot swim. Before leaving, a male colleague offered to go instead of her. She said, "I am the village party secretary, and I want to take the lead in rushing ahead!" "

The emergency management department introduced on the 18th that since the flood season, the national fire rescue team has participated in 6,841 flood fighting rescues, dispatched 77,800 fire fighters, 11,700 fire engines and 6,355 boats, and rescued and evacuated 112,000 people trapped.

Proper resettlement: do not let a mass be displaced.

"My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment; Wherever I go, there is a hymn … "

On July 17th, more than 20 children, led by young volunteers, sang My People，My Country to the rhythm of music at the resettlement site for the affected people in Hongpu Junior High School in Huaining County, Anhui Province.

This scene, the song touched people’s hearts.

Affected by continuous heavy rainfall, Hongpu Town of Huaining County launched an emergency plan, and organized town and village cadres and militia emergency teams to quickly transfer 223 people in low-lying areas here for resettlement.

"Three dishes and one soup are well-prepared, and they are not repeated every day." Zhang Yonglin, a 72-year-old villager, said that he ate well, slept well, had headaches and brain fever, and doctors treated him.

Timely transfer, but also proper placement. In addition to visiting relatives and friends, a large number of affected people gathered in centralized resettlement sites.

All resettlement should be done, and no one should be displaced-

As of 18: 00 on July 17th, there were 116 centralized resettlement sites in Jiangxi Province, with 10,859 people being resettled.

On the evening of the 8th, there was a flood in Wengui Road, Poyang County, and the village of Gui Hu next to the dike fell into a Wang Yang. After being rescued, the villagers were transferred to a primary school in the county for centralized resettlement.

Before the flood, it was set up as an emergency resettlement site by the local government. After disinfection, the classroom was equipped with instant noodles, mineral water, moisture-proof mats, summer sleeping mats, toiletries and medicines. Lan Qiongfei, member of the Party Committee and Organization Committee of poyang town, is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the villagers in the resettlement site. She mobilizes volunteers to prepare lunch boxes for the villagers every day, with two meats, one vegetable and one soup.

"We will not let any affected people be displaced." She said.

It is necessary to have a place to live and a place to live-

"The movie has started. Come and watch it!"

On the evening of July 20th, with a shout, there were more and more people on the playground in the third centralized resettlement site of Huazhong Road, Yingjiang District, Anqing City, Anhui Province. Everyone sat in the chairs that had already been put away, shook the small cool fans distributed by the school and watched the movie attentively.

Fang Bin, the headmaster of Huazhong Road No.3 Primary School, said that the school specially prepared films with comedy style, hoping to bring you relaxation and joy.

In many resettlement sites, in addition to providing basic living services for the affected people, psychological counseling, opening leisure rooms, organizing calisthenics, dancing in square dances, listening to Huangmei Opera, etc. are also provided to alleviate the anxiety and anxiety of the affected people caused by leaving home as much as possible.

"We sent medical emergency teams to the resettlement sites. Most of them have received psychotherapy training and can provide professional psychological assistance." Yu Hongxia, Party Secretary of Chaisang District People’s Hospital in Jiujiang, said.

Do a good job in health and epidemic prevention to prevent the spread and spread of epidemic diseases after the disaster-

In the resettlement site of Xingan County Gymnasium in Jiangxi Province, the staff of CDC wearing isolation suits killed the gymnasium floor, passages, toilets and other places one by one, and popularized the common sense of disease prevention during floods to the affected people.

"Resolutely do where the masses are transferred and resettled, and where the medical services go; Where the rescue team enters, medical support will go; Where the water retreats, where the health and epidemic prevention will go. " Gong Jianping, deputy director of Jiangxi Health and Health Commission, said.

Love comes together, and the haze will eventually dissipate.

In the affected areas and resettlement sites, the proper resettlement of the Party and the government has warmed the hearts of the affected people and strengthened their confidence in resuming production and rebuilding their homes. (Participating in reporters: Wang Liwu, Zhou Chang) (End)

1905 movie network news An animated film co-directed by Wolfgang Lauenstein and Christoph Lauenstein, the winners of the 62nd Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film, will soon land in the national cinema on November 15th. The official released the "Agent Poster" on November 6th, and four cute pets became senior agents, revealing unusual information everywhere, indicating that an adventure with wisdom and courage is about to start.

Stay cute pets incarnate handsome agents. High-energy assembly should not be underestimated.

The official "agent poster" shows the unique charm of Meng Chong’s agent team through thrilling pictures and red and blue colors. The poster reveals the crisis moment of the secret service team in the sky, highlighting the action and adventure elements of the film.

Hubei Daily All-Media Reporter Shi Gong Correspondent Wu Meiling

On March 28th, the four-day 2024 National Rowing Spring Championship and the Paris Olympic Games unsuccessful trials were held in Qiandao Lake, Zhejiang Province. 47 people from Hubei rowing team competed in 9 events, and 10 boats advanced to the finals in 7 events. The men’s team has a final boat in all five events, among which four people won the prize with one oar and four people with two oars, and the two people won the silver medal with one oar; In the women’s team, except for Wang Zifeng’s combined boat, which won the gold medal in the four-person single paddle event, three boats advanced to the final and won the third, fourth and fifth respectively. Hubei team finally won 3 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze and the total score of the team was fourth.

Upgrade Olympic medals

Watch me change lanes and break through.

In the men’s quadruple sculls and women’s quadruple single sculls finals, as bronze medal winners of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Liu Zhiyu and Wang Zifeng of our province easily won gold medals with their national team teammates respectively. After the competition, both of them expressed their desire to upgrade the medal color at the Paris Olympic Games.

During this year’s winter training, Wang Zifeng, as the strongest female single oar player in China, is still making breakthroughs, while Liu Zhiyu is meeting the challenge of changing lanes-he has locked in the qualification of men’s double sculls in Paris Olympics with teammate Sean, and is challenging the qualification of men’s quadruple sculls in Paris Olympics with Sean, Yin Xudi and Adili Jiang Suritan.

The old partners will fight the Olympic sculls again. Sean and Liu Zhiyu are still facing the old rivals such as the Netherlands, France, Ireland and Croatia. "The Netherlands may have a slight advantage, and the last few pairs are basically at the same level. Whoever gets on the podium is possible." Liu Zhiyu said. While the four sculls compete, Liu Zhiyu, Yin Xudi and Adilijiang Suritan are all World Cup champions of this project. Together with the most capable Sean, they will go to the Paris Olympic Games in Lucerne, Switzerland in mid-May. "Set a small goal first and get a ticket for the China team in Lucerne!" Facing the second venture of "changing the track", 31-year-old Liu Zhiyu hopes to carve his name on the historical nodes of China Men’s Boat.

From "Want me to row" to "I want to row"

Go to "Row with me"

Every Hubei rower who fights with oars inherits the "Hubei Rowing Spirit" and shoulders the glorious mission of achieving a new breakthrough.

In this medal-winning event of Hubei team, except for men’s four-person sculls (Liu Zhiyu), women’s four-person single oars (Wang Zifeng) and men’s four-person single oars (Li Wenlei), the silver medal of men’s double single oars and the bronze medal of women’s eight-person single oars with helmsman are all attributed to Hubei team’s "bringing the new with the old" model. Sun Lu, Lin Xinyu and others won the National Games in their thirties, which triggered the internal driving force of the young players to "compete for the championship with the champion"-including the men’s eight-person single-oar helmsman event, which ranked fourth by one second. Liu Dang, a 35-year-old veteran, and his nephew, who is only 17 years old, struggled forward together, and rowing with me was far more motivating than training for a month.

Sun Lu (31 years old)/Zhang Maolin (18 years old), who had been paired for less than 30 days, were not favored by the outside world in the men’s double single oar final on March 28th, but they were ahead of the powerful Guangdong team from the beginning, ranking second only behind Henan team. After 500m, they overtook Henan to rank first, but unfortunately, their opponents overtook them in the last 200m. After the runner-up hit the line, Sun Lu hit the water with his fist in regret. "1800 meters is still in the lead, almost …" Sun Lu staged the scene of winning the championship with his partner Xia Hongyu at the Shaanxi National Games. He was annoyed that he didn’t stick his teeth to the end, and Zhang Maolin said apologetically: "Big Brother took me so hard, I didn’t keep up. I went back to practice hard and won the championship!"

Faced with the coach’s "asking me to row", Sun Lu, who has a good personal talent, always resisted. In the Tianjin National Games in 2017, he won only the fourth place in the preliminary and semi-finals. After that, disheartened, he returned to Qianjiang to take over the business at home, but he always felt that something was missing. After one year and three months, he returned to the provincial team. Seeing that his teammates made great achievements, Sun Lu, who was "unwilling", started "I want to row", completed the transformation of a mature athlete, and finally won the gold medal in Shaanxi National Games. Now, he has entered the transformation process of "rowing with me", not only maintaining the first achievement of dynamometer in the team, but also taking Zhang Maolin to practice actively.

There are 10 final boats in 7 events of this Spring Championship, which shows the talent thickness of Hubei Army in the new cycle. This is the capital that impacts the gold medal of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao National Games. How to turn "thickness" into "height"? As the head coaches of men’s and women’s teams, Chen Zheng and Xu Quan both believe that the breakthrough lies in "focusing on single oar" and "optimizing the combination". Chen Zheng said: "Single oar is the traditional advantage of our province, and it is the most important thing to turn the advantage into victory, especially to find the most suitable right oar player."

　　Four large screens display data in real time, many production lines are busy, and auto parts are off the assembly line one after another. Through lean digital system, automatic production scheduling, timely production reporting and performance management … …

　　Entering Chongqing Jinqiao Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the production is in an orderly way. Thanks to the intelligent transformation, Jinqiao’s production efficiency increased by 33% and its cost decreased by 17%.

　　On March 5, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed during the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation at the First Session of the 14th National People’s Congress that "we should vigorously develop strategic emerging industries and accelerate the development of the digital economy." The "Government Work Report" proposes to "vigorously develop the digital economy".

　　As the first batch of experimental zones for digital economy innovation and development in China, Chongqing has thoroughly implemented the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, anchored intelligent manufacturing, promoted the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, expanded the scale of digital industries, cultivated strategic emerging industries, accelerated the construction of digital infrastructure, and accelerated the promotion of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization in all directions.

　　At present, the number of digital economy enterprises in Chongqing has exceeded 20,000, and the added value of digital economy accounts for about 40% of the regional GDP.

　　Anchoring intelligent manufacturing, digital transformation and upgrading of traditional industries

　　"In the past, the workshop was not so clean and efficient, and the materials were piled up next to the production line, like a workshop." Hu Qinghua, general manager of Jinqiao Company, said that the company’s information systems used to be "isolated islands" with high dependence on manpower and low production efficiency.

　　The change began with a matchmaking in the West (Chongqing) Science City. Schneider Intelligent Manufacturing Chongqing Innovation Center tailors intelligent manufacturing solutions for Jinqiao Manufacturing Company, and realizes real-time data collection, automatic production scheduling and real-time tracking of production process by combining digital systems. After completion, Jinqiao Manufacturing Company formed a lean layout of 16 lean production lines and 7 machining areas, and upgraded from a digital workshop to a smart factory.

　　From a traditional manufacturing town to a "smart manufacturing town", Chongqing has made great strides. In this year’s work report of Chongqing municipal government, the word "number" was mentioned 51 times. A large number of enterprises actively embrace the intelligence of big data, and their smart tentacles are getting deeper and deeper in every corner.

　　Small and medium-sized enterprises should accelerate digital transformation, and leading backbone enterprises should play a leading and exemplary role. Entering the automated "black light factory" of Celeste Group in Liangjiang New Area, more than 1,000 robots are running at high speed, and the mechanical arms cooperate in an orderly manner. Here, it takes only 5 seconds to punch a set of auto parts, and a new car can be rolled off the assembly line in 2 minutes.

　　The efficiency improvement benefits from the intelligent transformation of the production line. Celes "Black Light Factory" takes digitalization as an important driving force and combines new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and cloud computing to realize 100% automation of key programs. "There are fewer workers, but the quality is higher." Zhang Xinghai, chairman of Celeste Group, said.

　　Anchoring intelligent manufacturing, Chongqing has made great efforts to implement the special action of "looking back" for intelligent manufacturing diagnosis and evaluation, to promote the coordinated development of digitalization and greening, to enhance the digitalization level of industrial chain and to enhance the digitalization level of traditional industries. This year, Chongqing plans to build 10 smart factories and 100 digital workshops, so as to insert wisdom wings for more enterprises.

　　Production is more efficient and detection is smarter. Chongqing Jicheng Automobile Electronics Co., Ltd., located in Nan ‘an District, mainly produces automobile electronic parts, which requires high technology. In the past, in order to prevent product defects, the company mainly relied on manual inspection, which was not only inefficient, but also inaccurate.

　　Through digital transformation, especially the application of industrial Internet, Jicheng Automobile Electronics Company is smarter and more intelligent. Real-time tracking of equipment information, process parameters, optical detection and other information can be realized only by a two-dimensional code, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of product quality inspection and accurately eliminates unqualified products.

　　Cultivate emerging industries and expand the scale of digital industry

　　On Mingyue Mountain, four 16-meter-diameter astronomical radars of the "China Compound Eye" project stand high and measure deep space. At the end of 2022, it successfully photographed the first three-dimensional lunar map of ground-based radar in China, expanding the boundaries of human deep space observation.

　　Dreaming of the "starry sky", Chongqing aims at the forefront of technology and actively lays out the satellite Internet industry. On March 18th, at the Mingyue Lake Digital Economy and Satellite Internet Innovation and Development Conference, Chongqing Digital Creation Park was officially unveiled, and the first batch of 50 enterprises signed contracts to settle down.

　　In recent years, Chongqing has actively promoted digital industrialization and expanded the scale of digital industry, striving to increase the added value of core industries of digital economy by more than 10% this year.

　　Forging a long board with one hand and mending a short board with the other. As an industrial city, Chongqing’s economic structure is "hard" and its software industry is relatively weak. In July, 2022, Chongqing launched the "All over the Sky Star" action plan for the software and information service industry, and pressed the "Acceleration Key" for the software industry.

　　Chongqing Liyituo Software Co., Ltd. mainly develops industrial simulation software. "The development of a car requires many real car crash tests, and the cost is very high. We can input various parameters into the computer to simulate the collision, which saves time and money." Li Bo, CEO of the company, said that the company has a good development momentum and won the "Industrial Software Innovation Award" in the first national industrial software innovation and application competition.

　　In Erlang Street, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing Digital Building has attracted 40 enterprises, including China Unicom (Chongqing) 5G Fusion Innovation Center, since it was put into use in August last year, and the effectiveness of digital intelligence carrier empowerment has begun to show.

　　In the West (Chongqing) Science City, Jinfeng Software Park has gathered a large number of software enterprises. By 2025, it is expected to gather 60,000 software employees.

　　In Yuzhong District, Chongqing Digital Economy Industrial Park gathers enterprises such as China Coal Design, Inspur and Fun Chain. In the first two months of this year, the software business revenue of the whole district increased by 31% year-on-year.

　　"We must not only turn data into industry, but also promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy." The person in charge of the Chongqing Economic and Information Committee said that Chongqing has actively improved the entire industrial chain of "core screen end nuclear network", continuously improved the industrial energy level and improved the industrial chain.

　　In Shuitu New Town, Liangjiang New Area, the production line of Kangning Phase III environmental-friendly Al-Si toughened glass melting furnace is under construction, which is the first time that this product has been laid out in Chinese mainland.

　　From quartz sand, display panels to display terminals, Chongqing is completing the "puzzle" of the new display industry and further improving the electronic information industry chain.

　　Consolidate the digital base and speed up the construction of digital infrastructure

　　Accelerating digital industrialization and industrial digitalization cannot be separated from the support of digital infrastructure.

　　"Intelligent manufacturing generates a large amount of data, and enterprises must store these data in data centers, and our 5G network can effectively guarantee data transmission speed and security." Ai Qiang, deputy general manager of Chongqing Mobile Big Data Intelligent Center, said.

　　Chongqing Jin Kang New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. is an example. After adopting the "5G+ Blu-ray Automatic Measurement System", with the help of China Mobile’s 5G private network deployed in the production site, the average amount of detection data transmitted per second is much faster than that of the 4G network, Jin Kang has built an industrial big data integration system, managed data efficiently and helped the digital transformation of the factory.

　　In recent years, Chongqing has accelerated the construction of digital infrastructure such as 5G, data center and Internet of Things, laying a solid foundation for the development of digital economy. In Shuitu New Town, China Mobile (Chongqing) Data Center and other ten data centers gather here, with the support capacity of 80,000 racks and 390,000 servers, becoming the cloud computing base with the highest concentration and the largest scale in the western region, and establishing more than 20 large-scale cloud platforms to support the development of various fields and serve more than 1,000 customers.

　　In Nan ‘an District, the construction of a number of digital infrastructures has been accelerated: the Supercomputing Center of JD.COM Exploration Research Institute has been completed and put into use, Shangtang Technology has laid out an artificial intelligence computing center with a peak computing power of 1,000 p, and Chongqing Data Lake Industrial Park plans to build about 2,200 data center cabinets to build a basic service platform such as optical and magnetic integrated storage platform, cloud platform and security platform & HELIP; …

　　As the first batch of demonstration cities for the construction and application of 5G scale networking in China, Chongqing’s 5G development has run out of "acceleration". At present, the city has opened 73,000 5G base stations, ranking first in the country, and the number of 5G base stations per 10,000 people ranks first in the west and sixth in the country.

　　In the process of intelligent manufacturing, the industrial internet is indispensable, and the logo analysis system is the "nerve center" to support interconnection. "The logo analysis system is like a transportation network, and the top nodes in the country are ‘ Transit hub ’ , the secondary node as ‘ Head ’ , connecting enterprise nodes. " The person in charge of the Chongqing Economic and Information Committee said that Chongqing is one of the five top-level nodes, and the top-level node identification analysis system has been applied to 19 industries.

　　In the next step, Chongqing will continue to promote the coordinated development of 5G and Gigabit networks, expand and upgrade the national Internet backbone direct connection points and the national "Spark Chain Network" blockchain super nodes, deepen the expansion of the application of China-Singapore international data channels, and actively participate in the "East Digital West Computing" project, which will help the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to coordinate development and digital transformation, promote the high-quality development of the digital economy, and strive to make the added value of the digital economy in the city account for more than 50% of the regional GDP by 2027.

Recently, a group of pictures of a new Geely real car were exposed on the Internet. The new car adopts a brand-new front face design and is expected to be launched at the end of October. This time, the change has also been greatly adjusted, not only the appearance has been changed, but also the interior has been adjusted. The overall look is more fashionable and more suitable for the current aesthetic needs. The current price range of Geely Binyue is 66,800-103,800 yuan. It is estimated that there will be no price change after the new Binyue is listed.

We can see that the front face of the new Geely Binyue has changed a lot, the new car looks more cross-border, and the new design is more suitable for the current aesthetic standards. The top of the front face of the new car keeps the traditional shape, decorated with black stripes, and the air intake grille is arranged in the middle of the front face, with a trapezoidal outline, decorated with black horizontal decorative strips, and there are three-dimensional air guide grooves on both sides. At the bottom of the front face of the new car, there is a trapezoidal grille design with fangs on both sides, and the whole front face looks layered.

The side details of the new car’s body have not changed, and it continues to adopt a younger shape. The roof is suspended and the shape is very small. The side of the car body is a very prominent waistline design. The bottom of the car is surrounded by black, with black wheel eyebrows. The bottom of the car is made of wear-resistant material, which looks very textured as a whole. Geely Binyue’s body is not big, it is a small SUV, and the design language is relatively young.

In the interior part, we can see that the new car has also been greatly adjusted, and it has become more fashionable. The new car uses a family-owned three-position steering wheel, a large screen with a larger floating effect, an air conditioning outlet with a hidden effect on the downwind of the big screen, and a row of buttons below. The co-pilot side of the new car has a layered effect, the middle position of the front side has a rough layout, and its chicken leg-shaped crystal electronic gear lever looks very textured. In terms of power, the new car may continue to be equipped with the same power system as the current model, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and 1.5T power.

　　The 14th Annual Meeting of New Champions of the World Economic Forum (also known as the Summer Davos Forum) was held in Tianjin from June 27th to 29th.
