Stealing trade secrets, a Chinese businessman who lost 700 billion yuan to China, was released from prison yesterday.

Every edited Wang Jiaqi　　　　

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday (July 4th), a name that had disappeared for eight years was suddenly mentioned again — — Hu Shitai, an Australian Chinese businessman.

On March 29, 2010, the Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People’s Court ruled in the first instance that the defendant Hu Shitai was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment, confiscated property and fined RMB 1 million for the crimes of accepting bribes and infringing commercial secrets by non-state staff.

On May 17, 2010, the Shanghai Higher People’s Court issued a public verdict in the second instance, rejecting the defendant’s appeal and upholding the judgment of the first instance.

Lu Kang, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said: Hu Shitai abided by the prison rules and discipline and obeyed management education during his prison term. China judicial authorities ruled that his sentence was reduced according to law. Hu Shitai was released from prison on July 4.

At that time, the "Hu Shitai case" shocked the whole world and shook the entire steel and mineral industry. In the first decade of the 21st century, Hu Shitai was well known in China’s steel industry. How powerful was his "energy"? Look at a set of data:

Since 2003, China steel enterprises have spent more than 700 billion yuan just because of the rising iron ore price in the past six years, which is equivalent to more than twice the total profits of China steel enterprises in the same period. Even in 2008, when the financial crisis broke out, China once again accepted that the price of fine ore rose by 79.88% and lump ore rose by 96.5%, which was the highest increase in history.

Behind this, of course, there is a problem of global iron ore pricing mechanism; But in this mechanism, Hu Shitai "contributed".

To review the Hu Shitai case, we have to start with the global iron ore pricing mechanism.

Before 1950, the global iron ore trading mode was mainly spot trading; In the 1960s, Japan became the main buyer of iron ore in Australia, and the two sides started to sign short-term contracts, which gradually developed into long-term contracts in the late 1960s, and the quantity and price of iron ore were locked for 10 to 20 years.

In 1980, the annual long-term negotiated price mechanism of iron ore began to take shape. Every year, the global major mines (iron ore supply side representatives) and major steel mills (demand side representatives) negotiate to determine the annual iron ore supply price. This process is also called "iron ore negotiation". The fixed price is the industry index, which is widely referenced and adopted in other trade negotiations.

However, it was not until 2003 that China joined the "iron ore negotiations". At that time, China was already the largest producer and consumer of steel. However, from 2003 to 2009, China was almost defeated in the annual price game. As the largest iron ore buyer in the world, it had no pricing power.

Who were the buyers and sellers at that time?

Seller:

BHP Billiton (BHP Billiton)

BHP Billiton was formed in 2001 by the merger of two giant mining companies-BHP and British Billiton Company, which was then the largest mining company in the world.

Companhia Vale Do Rio Doce

At that time, the world’s largest iron ore producer and exporter was also the largest mining company in the American continent.

Rio Tinto mining company (Rio Tinto)

It was founded in Spain in 1873. In 1954, the company sold most of its Spanish business. From 1962 to 1997, the company merged several influential mining companies in the world, and in 2000, it successfully acquired the Australian Northern Mining Company, becoming a global leader in the exploration, mining and processing of mineral resources.

Buyer:

China Iron and Steel Industry Association.

Domestic steel enterprises.

What role did Hu Shitai play in the negotiation?

Hu Shitai was born in 1963, originally from Tianjin, China. He graduated from Peking University and went to Australia to study. After graduation, he went to work in Hammersley Iron Mine, Australia’s second largest iron ore producer. After Rio Tinto acquired Hammersley Iron Mine, Hu Shitai became an employee of Rio Tinto. Joined Australian citizenship in 1997,

Hu Shitai has worked in Rio Tinto for quite a long time and is familiar with major domestic steel mills and ore traders. When the case was investigated, Hu Shitai was the chief representative of Rio Tinto, an Australian iron ore enterprise, and the general manager of Rio Tinto’s Hammersley iron ore business in China. At that time, he was a member of Rio Tinto’s "iron ore negotiations".

It is this one-sided negotiation pricing mechanism that makes Hu Shitai see "business opportunities".

The case broke out in 2009.

On July 5, 2009, four employees of Rio Tinto Shanghai Company were detained. Among the four people detained, Hu Shitai was included. At the same time, the public security department also took away his computer.

Subsequently, Xinhua News Agency reported that Hu Shitai and other four people were detained because they used improper means to win over the insiders of China iron and steel production units during the iron ore import and export negotiations between China and foreign countries since 2009, and used this to spy on and steal China’s state secrets.

At that time, an insider revealed to national business daily (micro-signal: nbdnews) that the computer of Rio Tinto’s Shanghai office taken away by the relevant departments contained dozens of steel enterprises with long-term contracts with Rio Tinto. These data relate to the detailed procurement plan, raw material inventory, production arrangement and other data of the enterprise, and even the monthly steel output and sales of some large steel enterprises are very clear.

"(Rio Tinto) knows the situation of steel mills in China like the back of his hand," said the insider. "Mines even know their companies better than the bosses of some enterprises." Some people who have close contacts with the mine also said.

At that time, a relevant person of a steel enterprise said, "In our company, there are no more than 10 people who can know the details of raw material inventory, production arrangement and sales." Mines can master these enterprise secrets, and may have already bought off the specific production and operation personnel of related enterprises.

Many people in iron and steel enterprises said that Hu Shitai was "very happy" in China’s iron and steel industry, and he had a good personal relationship with many heavyweights in the steel industry, including Tan Yixin, then assistant general manager of Shougang International and general manager of mining import and export company. A few days before Hu Shitai was detained, Tan Yixin was also formally arrested by the procuratorate for allegedly providing commercial secrets to Hu Shitai and others and bribing state employees.

Having monopolized the global mineral resources, and now knowing the situation of China iron and steel enterprises clearly, how can China enterprises succeed at the negotiating table?

Let’s talk about Hu Shitai’s bribery crime.

The court found through trial that from 2003 to 2009, Hu Shitai and Chinese employees Wang Yong, Ge Minqiang and Liu Caikui took advantage of their positions to solicit or accept money for many times in iron ore trade with China to seek benefits for others.

Among them, Hu Shitai received RMB 6.46 million, Wang Yong received RMB 75.14 million, Ge Minqiang received RMB 6.94 million and Liu Caikui received RMB 3.78 million.

There are 20 domestic steel enterprises that pay bribes to them. There are many ways for Hu Shitai to accept bribes and make profits for others. Here is an example:

After Guofeng Iron and Steel signed a long-term contract with Rio Tinto with an annual capacity of 1 million tons for five years, Hu Shitai asked the company for the calculation standard of the benefit fee, which was 30% of the profit of a ship. In order to become a long-term cooperative company with more favorable goods, Guofeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. was turned around by many people and companies, and nearly $800,000 in benefits was paid to Hu Shitai.

Liu Caikui, one of Hu Shitai’s four people, mostly accepts bribes from enterprises without iron ore import qualifications. They must rely on the names of some steel companies that have entered the long association sequence to purchase iron ore from Rio Tinto. It is natural for the relevant enterprises to pay Liu a certain fee after getting the ore.

In order to get the iron ore contract, he paid bribes to Hu Shitai and others, reflecting the passive situation of China steel enterprises at that time:

Around 2004, the long-term price of iron ore was much lower than the spot price, and the highest price difference exceeded 100 US dollars/ton. Iron and steel enterprises and traders who are qualified to import iron ore and hold long-term orders resell iron ore to the spot market, which is even more profitable than doing the main business of steel.

Before the financial crisis in 2008, Rio Tinto rarely directly signed long-term agreements with traders and small steel enterprises. With the advent of the financial crisis, when the long-term cooperative price was higher than the spot price, large steel enterprises in China and other long-term cooperative customers defaulted in a large area. In order to obtain the maximum benefit, Rio Tinto began to contact with small and medium-sized steel enterprises in iron ore negotiations, and as long as it reached a certain amount, it could make some discounts (sell the ore) to small and medium-sized steel enterprises. As a breakthrough of "iron ore negotiation".

From being detained on July 5, 2009 to serving his sentence on July 4, 2018, nine years later, Hu Shitai walked out of the cage. He may find that the iron ore market has changed. And the change happened from the time he was sentenced.

In 2010, China rejected the annual benchmark prices agreed by the three major mines, and the annual negotiations of the Iron Ore Association broke down, and the pricing model linked to the index was adopted. Spot iron ore is priced on the basis of index. The purpose of this pricing method is to reflect the spot market situation and the relationship between supply and demand.

At that time, another giant BHP Billiton also said that nearly half of the company’s customers had begun to adopt a pricing system linked to the spot market. This shows that the old mechanism for setting the annual price of iron ore is losing its meaning.

With the development of spot market and the rise of index pricing, iron ore derivatives trading came into being. In 2009, Singapore Stock Exchange launched the world’s first iron ore swap contract. In the domestic market, Dashang launched an iron ore futures contract in 2013, which was denominated in RMB and delivered in kind.

Every time Xiaobian (micro-signal: nbdnews) noticed that although the iron ore negotiation is controlled by people no longer exists, the international crude oil price has risen sharply this year, and the pricing power of bulk commodities is still in the hands of international energy giants and financial predators. How to reverse this situation? How to safeguard the core interests of enterprises in China?

Oho Ou joined Black Ant Film as a shareholder. Xu Anhua Cao Baoping’s new film was exposed.

1905 movie network news　On March 31st, Black Ant Film, the third anniversary of its establishment, held a press conference in Beijing, officially exposing a number of annual blockbuster films, including the new film directed by Xu Anhua and the new film "Desperate" supervised by Cao Baoping. In addition, Black Ant Film also announced at the press conference that young actor Oho Ou will formally sign a contract as a shareholder. Previously, the two sides had cooperated in movies. Next, Oho Ou will also star in the online drama "Shura" created by Black Ant Film.

　

Xu Anhua re-shoots Zhang Ailing’s crime genre film "Desperate" supervised by Cao Baoping.

　

Since its establishment, Black Ant Film has participated in the investment and produced a series of excellent film projects including,,,, and. Today, the company once again announced the list of key development, contracting and investment projects in the next three years. Among them, there are both powerful directors’ new films and cutting-edge directors’ first films.

　

Director Xu Anhua will shoot Zhang Ailing’s novel The First Pot of Incense again. The novel tells the tragic story of Shanghai female student Ge Weilong who is studying in Hong Kong and gradually indulges in the high-class life, and finally sells her soul and becomes a tool for collecting money. "First Furnace Incense" passed the filing review at that time in 2017, but at the press conference, Black Ant Film did not disclose more details outside the director’s candidate.

　

In addition, there are two new works by young directors that have attracted much attention: they are produced by series director Russo brothers, directed by Zhang Xian, and starred by Darren Wang and Song Jia after more than five years of preparation and filming, and have now entered the post-production stage. Director Zhang Xian introduced that the film will be a modern fantasy love adventure theme film, showing the story of the protagonist exploring his potential, finding himself and finally saving the world. Two years ago, 1905 Film Network interviewed producer Russo brothers about this project, and the other party said that Zhang Xian’s script was very imaginative and finally attracted them. It is reported that "Fantasy Journey" is expected to land in the mainland cinema this year.

　

Another work is a crime type film "Desperate for Danger" with Cao Baoping as the producer. As a senior creator of crime films in Chinese film circles, Cao Baoping has also made strict checks on the script of "Desperate". The plot of the film will revolve around a kidnapping case, "focusing on the different life choices made by different characters in this incident." Director Jacky Gan briefly "spoiled" the content of the film at the scene, but he refused to say more about other roles and character settings.

　

Oho Ou promoted shareholders to participate in the new network drama Black Ant to promote the public film fund plan.

　

In addition to the above-mentioned key works, Black Ant Film also exposed works such as White Face, Champion’s Heart, Stewed Boil, Shura, Imperial Doctor Hotel, Baseball Team of Qing Dynasty, Love Marathon, Collision and The Enigma Of Arrival. Among them, the online drama "Shura" is another collaboration between young actor Oho Ou and young director Jiang Zhuoyuan following "Qinghe Men’s Height". This time, the director set the story in the Shanghai Beach period: "Everyone is a pawn of fate, but they are unwilling to give in, and finally choose to fight against this setting."

　

It is reported that the character played by Oho Ou this time will subvert the sunny image in previous works and become a young man on the beach who is both good and evil. The psychological course and life experience of the character will be ups and downs, and even "blackened". Jiang Zhuoyuan hoped that he could make him a "King of Yue Gou Jian" in the Shanghai era.

　

In addition to joining the new network drama of Black Ant Film, Oho Ou, who has a pleasant cooperation with the company, officially signed a contract with Black Ant Film as a shareholder on the same day. He said that he was lucky to meet good works and good partners since he debuted. In the future, Oho Ou hopes to keep her heart together with Black Ant Film, bring more responsible and good works to the market, and strive to be an actor in Zuohai, so as to gain more space and less prejudice for the younger generation.

　

In a few days, the works produced by Black Ant Film will officially land in the mainland cinema. This film and another company’s film "Blizzard is Coming" both came into the audience’s field of vision from the FIRST Film Festival. On the basis of previous cooperation, this year’s Black Ant and FIRST Youth Film Exhibition once again joined forces to promote the creation of youth films to a broader space, and announced that they would become strategic partners, initiate the creative counseling fund for young directors first, open up to a broad group of young film creators, provide creative support for films of different styles and categories, and accompany outstanding young filmmakers earlier. At the same time, the two sides also "appealed" to the whole industry through this conference, expecting more like-minded peers to join hands in the "Public Film Fund Program" to jointly create a systematic creative environment for young filmmakers and jointly deliver creative vitality and rich patterns for Chinese films.　


Interview with Zhu Yanping： Movies need grounding gas, don’t be superstitious about New Year’s files.


Yen-Ping Chu

　　　 Movie network news(Photo/Report Group of Directors’ Summit in the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong) The 11th Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Seminar and the 2010 China Film Directors Annual Commendation Conference continued to be held in Sanya. On January 12th, Zhu Yanping, a Taiwan Province director who has been developing in the mainland in recent years, accepted an exclusive interview with Movie Network. He thought that both the box office and the word-of-mouth directed by himself and Xiaogang Feng failed because they collected too many Hollywood elements, but they didn’t meet the local flavor. He also laughed and said that he was not superstitious about New Year’s Eve.

Zhu Yanping said that Xiaogang Feng benefited him a lot and found the reason for the failure of "Thorn Ling".

　　　 Movie Network: As one of the earliest directors who cooperated with the mainland, your "stab mausoleum" has a miserable box office, but it has a good record, with a box office of over 100 million yuan. Have you already explored the tastes of mainland audiences?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: Actually, I was confused at one time. Today, I was suddenly enlightened by director Xiaogang Feng’s words. Xiaogang Feng said that all his films only included the elements of selling money in Hollywood, but only this film didn’t sell (money), and the same is true of the thorn mausoleum.

　　　 I think we should shoot Chinese’s own stuff. It’s a new attempt for me to put Hollywood elements into it. People don’t even think I shot it when they read The Thorn Mausoleum. Another important reason for the failure of The Thorn Mausoleum is the temporary advance of the schedule, which made it impossible for Jay Chou and Lin Chi-ling to promote it. This time, I adjusted a direction to shoot "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", and Zhao Benshan and I hit it off. Zhao Benshan has always wanted to find a director who can make comedies, and I have always wanted to find an actor who can perform comedies. We have a very happy cooperation.

　　　 Movie Network: The movie you directed is the Spring Festival, while "Thorn Ling" and "Laughing Jianghu" are both Chinese New Year movies. Is it because these two movies are easy to sell?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: Actually, personally, I don’t want to be on the Lunar New Year’s Eve. I don’t think it’s a good schedule, because the competition is too fierce, the military strategists are fighting for it, and everyone is beating their heads off. I made three movies in the mainland, basically in this schedule, which is really a bit unbearable.

　　　 I hope I can make a movie that will be shown in other slots, and I think the box office of 200 million yuan will definitely not run away. I think it’s normal to compete with two movies in a schedule, but it’s too tragic to compete with four movies in December. Just when you should be selling, the cinema schedule put you down, alas! I think the summer file and the eleventh file are also very good. Of course, at present, I am still in the exploratory stage, and I don’t know which schedule is the best.

Learning from Hollywood’s product placement, there is no trace of new people breaking files because the film is superstitious about "old people"

　　　 Movie Network: Xiaogang Feng has been criticized by the audience for too many product placement advertisements. What do you think of more and more product placement advertisements in movies?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: To be honest, product placement is necessary. A movie must take commercial factors into account. The more you invest in product placement, the more money you spend on making movies. I think it’s mainly about how to combine product placement with movies. For example, in Hollywood movies, there are more product placement than us, but no audience will count how many products have been placed. People won’t even notice this problem, so it’s very important to implant products without trace.

　　　 Movie Network: No matter in the Mainland, Hongkong or Taiwan Province, there is a problem that new actors are cut off at present. What do you think is the reason?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: It is true that young actors are cut off. Up to now, Hong Kong is still Louis Koo, Donnie Yen, the mainland is still Chen Kun, and so on. Relatively speaking, Taiwan Province is even better. Recently, there are Ehan Juan and Mark Chao. In fact, Taiwan Province has trained many film actors, including Shu Qi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Lin Chi-ling, Jay Chou, etc. However, after these actors became popular, their prices soared, and Taiwan Province films could not afford them immediately because of low investment, so they went to the mainland to make blockbusters, which is also the sorrow of Taiwan Province film industry.


Zhu Yanping: Movies should be grounded.


Taiwan Province movies are small and beautiful, and the director doesn’t know how to spend money to go out, which is the biggest crux.

　　　 Movie Network: In your opinion, what is the urgent problem to be solved in Taiwan Province film industry at present?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: Taiwan Province’s films are small and beautiful, with an investment of about two or three million RMB. They are very creative and of high quality. I dare say that if there is only 2 million investment, no one can shoot better than director Taiwan Province. For example, the investment in a film in the mainland is often hundreds of millions of yuan, and if director Taiwan Province wants to get the money, he may not know how to spend it.

　　　 However, because the films are small and too localized, Taiwan Province films are mainly shown in China, and their influence in other places is relatively small. I think the urgent problem for Taiwan Province films is how to go abroad, at least in the whole Chinese-speaking region.

　　　 Film Network: At present, there are not many directors from Taiwan Province coming to the mainland to make films. Do you think there will be more cooperation between filmmakers from both sides of the strait in the future?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: Yes, I am the only director in Taiwan Province now. I am Depth Charge. I didn’t get much support when I filmed "The Thorn Mausoleum", but the Taiwan Province media coverage of "Laughing Jianghu" was overwhelming, and more and more Taiwan Province directors began to pay attention to cooperation with the mainland. I believe that more and more Taiwan Province directors will come to the mainland to film soon.

　　　 Movie Network: What do you think Taiwan Province’s director should do to film in the Mainland?

　　　 Zhu Yanping: Grounding gas (laughs)! For me, it’s not difficult to meet the local conditions in Taiwan Province, but it’s a bit difficult to meet those in the mainland. We need to know more about mainland culture, but I think the prospect is worth looking forward to. You see there are still language problems in Hong Kong and the Mainland, and Taiwan Province has an advantage in this respect, so I think director Taiwan Province will adapt faster!

"Bona Night" was held, and directors from three places conspired to develop Chinese films.

Directors of the three places issued a "joint appeal" to reduce labor costs and improve the producer system.

CCTV unveiled the current situation of genetically modified rice in the market.

　　 In April this year, the reporter randomly bought five bags of different varieties of rice in a large supermarket in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and then sent them to the China Academy of Inspection and Quarantine for testing. The test results are surprising. Among the five kinds of rice, three contain genetically modified ingredients. So far, the government of China has never approved the commercial cultivation of any kind of genetically modified rice, nor has it approved the import of genetically modified rice, which means that the genetically modified rice and rice products appearing in the market are illegal, and these illegal genetically modified products are quietly coming to people’s table.

　　 Transgenic component Bt63 was detected in the rice purchased in the supermarket.

　　 In recent years, there have been media reports that the rice sold in the surrounding markets in Wuhan, Hubei Province contains genetically modified ingredients. At the same time, rice products exported from China to the European Union are frequently found to contain genetically modified ingredients. In the EU’s rapid warning system for food and feed, in 2013 alone, rice products exported from China to the EU were found to contain genetically modified ingredients for 25 times.

　　 In April this year, the reporter bought five kinds of rice at random in a large supermarket in Wuhan, and then sent them to China Academy of Inspection and Quarantine for testing. The test results are surprising. Among the five kinds of rice, three contain the genetically modified ingredient Bt63, and most of the genetically modified ingredients displayed in the EU early warning system are of this type.

　　 Bt63 is a patented transgenic insect-resistant rice developed by the School of Life Science and Technology of Huazhong Agricultural University. It was successfully developed in 1999 and has been evaluated for 11 years. In 2009, Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice obtained the safety certificate of transgenic organisms, but it was not approved for commercial planting. According to "People’s Republic of China (PRC) Seed Law", genetically modified crops are not allowed to be planted commercially before obtaining the commercial planting license. Then, where did the rice containing Bt63 gene detected in the market come from, where was it planted, and where did the seeds come from?

　　 A kilo of rice is planted in 40 yuan, and many farmers grow insect-resistant rice.

　　 Zhongshan Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City is a famous seed street, where dozens of seed sales outlets, large and small, are concentrated. In April this year, during the rice planting season, the reporter came to this street, trying to find genetically modified rice seeds and then tracing their sources.

　　 I heard that the reporter wanted to buy insect-resistant rice, but the owners of several shops said that they didn’t. When asked why, they said that they had sold it before, but now it is strictly controlled and no one dares to sell it.

　　 After repeated questioning by reporters, a boss provided clues. According to this, the reporter went to Jinxing Village of Lingmiao in Jiangxia section for investigation, and found that many local farmers were planting genetically modified rice. They buy rice seeds at the seed sales point in Jinxing Village at the price of one catty in 40 yuan, but they usually buy rice seeds through acquaintances. For various reasons, the boss of the point of sale avoided the reporter’s interview.

　　 The source of transgenic rice seeds may be Huazhong Agricultural University.

　　 Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice is a patent of School of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University. Theoretically, Huanong is the original seed source of all the transgenic rice containing Bt63 in the market.

　　 Zhang Qifa, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, professor of Huanong College of Life Science, mainly engaged in molecular genetics and genetic engineering research, and the leader of Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice project. In the interview, Zhang Qifa did not deny the possibility of GM rice spreading from Huanong. According to him, there may be two channels: first, different units or individuals may take rice seeds when the results are displayed and identified in 1999; Second, when Huanong conducted a large-scale productive experiment in 2003, a subsidiary may illegally breed after taking the seeds.

　　 According to Zhang Qifa, in the 1990s, the state did not have strict legal provisions on the safety management of genetically modified organisms, and many scientific research achievements were shared by everyone. It was not until 2001 that the State Council issued and implemented the Measures for the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms that the safety management of genetically modified crops became standardized. Prior to this, seed companies could easily get Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice seeds, then breed them themselves and then enter the market.

　　 According to several media reports, Zhang Qifa was the CEO of a company named corneal, which was the important source of Huanong’s "intentional disclosure" of genetically modified rice.

　　 In this regard, Zhang Qifa said, "It is hard to say that it was intentionally leaked". At that time, the establishment of the company was a part of the country’s plan to promote the cultivation and industrialization of genetically modified crops. He introduced that according to the national regulations on the management of genetically modified crops, large-scale productive experiments must be carried out before genetically modified insect-resistant rice can obtain a biosafety certificate. In 2003, the Ministry of Agriculture approved 2,000 mu of farmland for the production test of Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice, in which hundreds of farmers participated. At the end of 2002, after the establishment of corneal Company, the production experiment of Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice was just completed.

　　 So, in the process of productive experiment, did it cause the leakage and diffusion of seeds? According to Zhang Qifa, corneal Company didn’t have seed production capacity at that time, but entrusted other seed companies to produce seeds, and then distributed the seeds to farmers after recycling them. In this process, the seed company has the possibility of leakage.

　　 The shopkeeper tore up the receipt and denied selling genetically modified rice seeds.

　　 The reporter went to Wulijie Town, Jiangxia District, Wuhan, which is also a major rice producing area. According to the interview experience in Duanlingmiao town, it is difficult for strangers to buy genetically modified rice seeds, so the reporter found a local farmer to help him buy them at the seed sales point in the town.

　　 According to the farmer, this kind of insect-resistant rice is very popular among farmers, because it can resist borers, and they can save the money for buying pesticides and the labor cost for spraying drugs, saving 200 to 300 yuan per mu, which is quite attractive to farmers with a gross income of only over 1000 yuan per mu.

　　 There are nearly ten seed shops in Wulijie town, large and small, and the farmers who help them enter a sales point called Jiexing Seed Shop. A few minutes later, the boss turned into the back room and took out two bags of genetically modified insect-resistant rice seeds. However, when the reporter entered the salesroom again, the proprietress said that she never sold genetically modified insect-resistant rice seeds.

　　 Subsequently, the reporter sent the purchased rice seeds to Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for testing, and the results showed that the rice seeds contained insect-resistant transgenic Bt63. According to the information on the packaging of the rice seed named "Liangyou Jianghui 902" purchased by the reporter, the rice seed was produced by Hunan Xiuhua Technology Co., Ltd. The reporter went to Xiuhua Company in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, and found Li Yonghong, the person in charge of declaring the variety at that time, but he said that the company could not have genetically modified seeds.

　　 With the assistance of Zhuzhou Seed Management Station, the reporter sampled the seeds of Liangyou Jianghui 902 on the spot. The test results showed that the sampled grains did not contain Bt63. That is to say, the seeds purchased by the reporter in the seed sales department in Jiangxia District of Wuhan and the seeds in the grain depot of Hunan Xiuhua Company are not the same rice seed.

　　 Then, who produced the genetically modified rice seeds purchased by reporters and how did they enter the market? The reporter once again came to Jiexing Seed Sales Department. The proprietress denied that she had ever sold rice seeds, so the reporter took out the receipt issued by the sales department when she bought rice seeds, but the proprietress always denied it. Under the stalemate, the reporter dialed the complaint phone number of Jiangxia Seed Station marked on the receipt, hoping that law enforcement officers could come to investigate and collect evidence, but the person who answered the phone said that the leaders had a meeting and the law enforcement officers had gone to the countryside and could not come.

　　 No sooner had the reporter put down the phone than the owner of this shop appeared. After a dispute, the boss tore up the receipt and drove the reporter away.

　　 Rice testing loopholes, factory inspection, genetically modified

　　 Among the three kinds of rice bought by the reporter that were found to contain transgenes, two kinds of rice were produced at Shekou Street in the urban-rural junction of huangpi district.

　　 According to Director Ni of a rice factory, the rice provided by the reporter should come from Jianghan Plain, such as Qianjiang, Jingmen and Jingzhou. The rice and rice in their processing plant come from all over the country. During the processing, the factory will make certain preparations according to the taste and color of the rice, and then pack it and leave the factory.

　　 In the test report presented by director Ni, the reporter saw that the rice in Wuhan market is currently implemented in GB1354-2009 standard. The standard only stipulates some physical indicators of rice. After the local regulatory authorities test rice according to this standard, qualified rice can enter the market for sale.

　　 It is understood that the rice factory standards formulated in China do not contain genetically modified detection items, so government regulatory authorities and enterprises will not test the rice factory, which leads to rice manufacturers not knowing even if some rice contains genetically modified ingredients. These rice, so quietly to the consumer’s table.

　　 For many export enterprises, they also face the same problem, because they unknowingly bought rice containing genetically modified ingredients, which caused them to suffer losses when exporting. A batch of white rice cakes exported by a food company in Shanghai to the European Union in 2013 were found to contain genetically modified ingredients.

　　 In order to reduce losses, some domestic enterprises will conduct their own testing of genetically modified ingredients according to EU standards. However, the general manager of a food company in Shanghai said that because there are many sources of rice in the market, despite the testing links, enterprises are hard to prevent. According to what they know, genetically modified rice has spread, and it is difficult to recover it, and it is out of control. Most of the rice in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui and Fujian have been "polluted" by genetic modification.

　　 It is understood that on May 27 this year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the Notice of the Ministry of Agriculture on Further Strengthening the Safety Supervision of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms, requiring agricultural departments at all levels to focus on rice, corn, soybean and rape seeds and severely investigate and deal with illegal production, processing and sales of genetically modified seeds according to law.

From the current fossil evidence, the earliest giant panda appeared in the late Miocene about 8 million years ago, in the Yunnan region of China-the first panda in Lufeng. The panda has a pair of sharp canine teeth. The last pair of premolars in the upper jaw and the first pair of molars in the lower jaw are very sharp, which can tear food when closed. Such sharp teeth can be used to bite meat into small pieces. These characteristics show that they are carnivorous or carnivorous omnivores.

The naive giant panda.

As for why the giant panda’s diet has changed from meat-based to almost vegetarian, there is no definite answer in the scientific community at present. The latest mainstream view is that during the Pliocene period about 4 million years ago, due to the continuous cooling of the global climate, a large area of forests was replaced by grasslands. The giant panda’s gait, which is similar to human’s plantar gait (walking with sole), is difficult to catch up with its prey on the open ground, and the focus of eating begins to shift to plants. Their bodies have also undergone some adaptive changes, such as wider molars and the gradual loss of genes to taste fresh meat.

In the following millions of years, because the earth entered the ice age and human development occupied the earth’s resources, the eating habits of giant pandas changed for the second time, from eating all kinds of plants to eating almost only bamboo. Their bodies have also undergone adaptive changes again with this change in eating habits. It is found that giant pandas have 16 taste genes used to taste bitterness, which makes them extremely sensitive to bitterness and can easily taste the bitterness of food. Giant pandas are sensitive to bitter taste, which can help them choose bamboo better. Because many plants produce toxins in natural selection, and toxins are usually bitter.

Another problem facing eating bamboo is how to grasp it. The "hands" of modern giant pandas have "pseudo-thumbs" which are made of seed bones and connected with bones and muscles. The giant panda can skillfully grasp the bamboo pole with this "finger" and five fingers. Some scholars speculate that the "pseudo-thumb" of giant pandas evolved with their behavior of eating bamboo, and it tends to be perfect in a long time.

The nutrition of bamboo is very limited, so giant pandas have to eat it constantly to meet their physical needs, which often requires extensive foraging activities, while giant pandas have adopted the strategy of "moving less" to reduce energy consumption. Giant pandas usually choose to move slowly along the gently sloping bamboo forest. When they are tired, they stop for a while, eat something before going on the road. Under normal circumstances, the average moving distance of giant pandas every day is only 300-500 meters.

Facts have proved that these changes of giant pandas are very necessary. Many large animals of their time, such as saber-toothed tiger, saber-toothed elephant, giant tapir, etc., became extinct because they could not change in time. (Giant Panda Breeding Research Base)

MG 7： The king of the coupe with a class of 200,000, is it worth having？

As the first black standard flagship model of MG brand, MG MG7.

Officially unveiled at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show, it has aroused widespread concern and discussion. This car not only has an elegant and advanced design, a luxurious cockpit experience, but also is equipped with a powerful 2.0T engine and 9AT gearbox, which brings consumers a driving experience that combines luxury, comfort and passion. Then, what are the highlights and advantages of MG7, and whether it can stand out in the medium-sized car market and become the king of the 200,000-level coupe? Let’s take a look together.

New car experience sharing

In order to let everyone feel the charm of MG MG7 more intuitively, I was fortunate to participate in the test drive recruitment and content collection activity jointly launched by the platform of knowing the car number and MG. Through this activity, I not only obtained the test drive qualification of MG MG7, but also had the opportunity to exchange and learn with other excellent car bloggers. Here, I would like to thank the platform that knows the car number and the MG brand for providing me with such a rare opportunity.

During the test drive, I experienced the performance of MG7 in different road conditions and driving modes, and made an all-round evaluation from the aspects of power, handling, comfort and fuel consumption. Let me share my test drive experience with you.

motive force

MG7 is equipped with the latest blue-core 2.0T black-label engine, which is a high-performance engine with a maximum power of 261 HP and a peak torque of 405 Nm through a series of hardware and software enhancements such as variable cross-section turbocharging, variable valve lift, all-aluminum cylinder block, 350bar high-pressure direct injection and electronic water pump. Such dynamic parameters are already excellent in the same class.

During the test drive, I can feel the strong push-back feeling and linear output characteristics of this engine. There is plenty of torque output from the beginning of low speed, and the acceleration response is rapid and sensitive. There is no obvious attenuation in the middle and high speed range, and strong power can be released continuously. According to official data, the acceleration time of MG7 is 6.5 seconds per 100 kilometers, which is the leading level among cars of the same class.

gearbox

MG MG7 is equipped with SAIC’s brand-new 9AT gearbox, which is jointly developed by SAIC and GM and independently produced by SAIC. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, high efficiency and energy saving, and has a variety of driving modes to choose from. During the test drive, I can feel that the shifting logic of this gearbox is very reasonable and intelligent, and it can shift gears timely and smoothly according to the throttle depth and road conditions in different modes.

control

The MG7 adopts the suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-links, which should be "standard" for cars at this level and inclined to pay attention to sports. However, this is only the foundation. In order to achieve better dynamic performance, it also provides E-LSD electronic limited slip differential and mCDC intelligent adjustable electronic control suspension, which can improve the handling limit. These two functions are rare in this level.

The mCDC adjustable suspension is powerful enough in damping adjustment. In comfort mode, the vibration filtering performance is good, and the fine and messy bumps are weakened into smooth and elastic fluctuations. In sports mode, it will suddenly strengthen the road sense clarity and let the driver grasp the road state at all times.

The difference in the power of the steering wheel to assist the third gear is also obvious. In this experience, which is mainly based on high-speed road conditions, I still prefer to use a more comfortable, that is, lightweight power-assisted feel, for nothing else, just because it is really easy to drive.

E-LSD electronic limited slip differential plays a role in turning, which can automatically adjust the torque distribution between the left and right wheels according to the driving state of the vehicle and the driver’s intention, thus improving the steering stability and grip of the vehicle. During the test drive, I can feel that MG MG7 has good directivity and lateral support in corners, and there is no obvious slip or out of control even when cornering at high speed.

Comfort

Although MG7 is a coupe, it doesn’t mean that it will sacrifice comfort. On the contrary, it has a good performance in terms of seats, space and silence. The front seat adopts the integrated sports seat design, and the overall riding experience is still very good, with moderate hardness and good wrapping on both sides. At the same time, the seat has the functions of electric adjustment, seat memory and heating, and the configuration is still completely sufficient.

The space performance of the rear seats is still very good, and there is no overcrowding in the head and leg space. On the contrary, there is still a lot of room. The comfort of the seat is not bad, but the support of the padding in the seat cushion is a little insufficient, which will make you feel a little tired after a long ride. I hope the manufacturer can adjust it slightly.

The four doors of MG MG7 are designed without borders, which not only enhances the sense of science and technology, but also increases the personalized attributes of the vehicle. At the same time, the window uses double laminated glass, and the quietness has also been greatly improved. When driving at high speed, there is no obvious wind noise and tire noise interference.

oil consumption

As a 2.0T+9AT power combination, the fuel consumption performance of MG7 is also one of our focuses. During the test drive, I mainly experienced two driving modes: economic mode and sports mode. The road conditions are mainly high-speed and mountain roads, with a total mileage of about 200 kilometers. In the end, the comprehensive fuel consumption of MG7 is 8.6L/100km, which is quite good in the same class.

Of course, if you want to save more fuel, you can also choose the performance adjustment function in X-MODE, and adjust the engine, gearbox, suspension and other parameters by yourself, so as to achieve better fuel economy. At the same time, MG MG7 is also equipped with intelligent start-stop function, which can automatically turn off the fire in parking scenes such as traffic lights, further reducing fuel consumption.

Car purchase suggestion

As a medium-sized coupe, MG7′ s competitors mainly include Geely Yuanjing X6, Changan CS75 PLUS and GAC Chuanqi GA6. These models have good design, dynamic performance and configuration level, so what are the advantages of MG7?

First of all, MG MG7 has a more sporty and avant-garde design, and its slip-back shape, borderless door and liftable tail are all bright spots. This design not only meets the aesthetic and individual needs of young people, but also makes MG7 more brilliant in the same class.

Secondly, MG MG7 is equipped with the latest blue-core 2.0T black-label engine and 9AT gearbox, which is a powerful and efficient power combination. It can not only provide excellent acceleration performance and driving pleasure, but also ensure a low fuel consumption level. At the same time, MG MG7 is also equipped with E-LSD electronic limited slip differential and mCDC intelligent adjustable electronic control suspension. These two functions are relatively rare in the same class, which can make MG MG7 have a higher level in handling.

Thirdly, MG7 has a luxurious cockpit experience, and the design of double screen, touch buttons and yacht-style electronic gear handle all make the interior look more scientific and grade-oriented. At the same time, MG MG7 also provides a variety of driving modes to choose from. In X-MODE, it can also perform functions such as performance adjustment, track challenge and linear acceleration, so that drivers can make personalized settings according to their own preferences and needs.

Finally, MG MG7 has a very competitive price advantage. At present, the car has started blind booking activities. Users who pay 777 yuan in official channels to complete the booking will receive full cash subsidies for the cancellation of the national purchase tax, and the price of the new car will not exceed 200,000 yuan. Compared with the same class, MG MG7 is undoubtedly a very cost-effective choice.

summary

Through this test drive experience, I have a deeper understanding of MG7. This car not only has an elegant and advanced design, a luxurious cockpit experience, but also is equipped with a powerful 2.0T engine and 9AT gearbox, which brings consumers a driving experience that combines luxury, comfort and passion. At the same time, it also has a very competitive price advantage. At present, blind ordering activities have been started, and the price of new cars does not exceed 200,000 yuan. Compared with the same class, MG MG7 is undoubtedly a very cost-effective choice.

If you are a young man who likes sports and personality, if you want a car that can satisfy daily travel and bring driving pleasure, if you want a car with both value and strength, then MG7 is your best choice. MG 7: The king of the coupe with a class of 200,000, is it worth having? Do you have a crush?

After three years, the concert will resume. Are the singers ready？

　　After three years, the concert will resume. Are the singers ready?

　　Fan feedback: frequent unequal situations with expectations, industry insiders: offline concerts cannot be rushed

　　With the further optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures at the end of 2022, offline concerts are also recovering: on December 24, 2022, Zhiqian Xue held a live concert in Haikou, and the attendance rate that night was amazing. Zhiqian Xue dyed his hair into "chestnut" color, which means smooth and smooth, and also made a good start for the smooth recovery of offline concerts in the future.

　　According to the ******* Youth Daily reporter, many singers have booked **fline performances this ******: Huang Minghao’s Suzhou concert culture and epidemic prevention approvals have been passed, and will start singing on January 7. Tickets have been sold; He Jie’s "Platycodon" 2022 national tour ******* Station is January 13, 2023; singer Huang Qishan will hold the "Qiwang 30" Xi’an concert on January 17; Meng Meiqi will hold an **fline concert in Chengdu on January 23… In addition, Wang Jiaer’s mainland tour projects have been finalized, including Guangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Chengdu and *******, etc., will set sail this ******, with 8 tentative shows scheduled.

　　As for Jay Chou, Mayday, Lin Junjie, Stefanie Sun, Wang Xinling, Zhang Jie, Hua Chenyu and other singers with both popularity and strength, there are also news of concerts one after another.

　　It’s just that the concert will resume after three years. Are the singers and audience ready?

　　Jay Chou, Zeng Yike offline concert complained

　　The "Carnival" world tour, planned by Jay Chou to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut, resumed after nearly three years, and held its first performance in Singapore in December 2022. Jay Chou brought fans classic songs such as "Sunny Day", "Daoxiang", "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Love in BC", and also sang songs such as "Wish Me a Happy Birthday", "With Your Name", "Say I Love You" and "Pink Ocean".

　　A large number of fans came to the scene, and some fans burst into tears because of the long-awaited scene. But soon, there were negative noises: obviously to see Jay Chou, but there were a large number of singing assistants and magic performances interspersed in the performance, and the sound volume was still fluctuating – the opening sound was so loud that it was noisy, and when Jay Chou sang, it was big and small. In addition, the support glow stick was also blurred and could not emit light.

　　Coincidentally. On the evening of December 31, 2022, singer Zeng Yike held a New Year’s Eve concert in Shenzhen, but after the end, fans shouted "refund". According to netizens, the concert was named "Double Length Double Happiness New Year Special", and the full standing ticket was priced at 680 yuan, twice that of other cities. As a result, after the concert started, Zeng Yike himself was half an hour late, only sang songs for an hour and a half, and played DJing for an hour. The next day, Zeng Yike Studio responded that tickets could be refunded, but only tickets for the January 1 concert could be refunded. On January 3, the topic of the concert was also on Weibo’s trending topic list many times.

　　In the three years of the epidemic, the audience’s aesthetics and star chasing have changed

　　On January 3, Zeng Yike Studio responded to the audience’s rights protection demands and controversial points raised by Zeng Yike’s Shenzhen New Year’s Eve concert.

　　Regarding the issue of Zeng Yike’s late arrival, the studio said that on December 31, Zeng Yike himself arrived at the scene at 3:00 pm and left after 3:00 am on January 1. During this time, he did not leave the scene. The delay of half an hour was due to the slow scanning of the ticket code due to the poor network at the scene.

　　Regarding the most controversial part of the live DJing performance by fans, the studio responded: "Live DJ DJing is part of the performance. This part of the content may not be liked and accepted by some audiences, but it is not a deception of the performance." Since the DJing part of the performance on December 31 did not meet the expectations of the audience, in order to avoid a similar situation during the performance the next day, Zeng Yike listened to the audience’s suggestions and urgently discussed with the team, and issued a refund announcement for the performance on the same day in the early morning of January 1, and immediately opened a refund channel.

　　Many fans did not buy the response from Zeng Yike’s studio, and some questioned whether it was "a mistake of work, not mentioning a word, and only letting Zeng Yike take the blame". Some fans said that although the performance was not perfect, Zeng Yike himself communicated with the fans on the spot and was sincere enough. "As a person who was present that day, in order to appease the fans at the scene, Zeng Yike did not ask the staff to respond and communicated with the fans himself."

　　Why do the offline performances that have just resumed frequently appear unequal to the expectations of the audience? Fan Ms. Chen told reporters that the epidemic has not seen offline performances for three years, and too many fans around him have turned to the stage of Buddhist star chasing that only listens to old songs without spending money; in addition, with Cui Jian, Andy Lau, Luo Dayou and other online concerts, fans’ acceptance of online concerts is also increasing. Senior performance operator Ms. Zhao said that in recent years, with the development of new media and the increase in entertainment methods, audiences have higher expectations for content quality, which requires careful polishing by the production team, rather than fast food packaging production.

　　Wang Yi, founder of Understand Music Entertainment, believes that the holding of a concert needs to go through the whole process of planning, rehearsal and operation of the artist team, performers and other large and small departments to take shape. The stage performance is only the final stage, and the process of products, there is a law of "practice makes perfect". Affected by the epidemic, the frequency of activities of producers and artist teams in the past three years has been lower than before, and it is inevitable that there will be loopholes in the business. As for artists, in recent years, large-scale concerts have rarely been held, and the performance status and physical strength have been affected to some extent. It is not objective to evaluate the current state of the singer according to the business standards of many years ago. Moreover, after listening to offline concerts after three years, fans also have high expectations, so it is not surprising that there are gaps and controversies.

　　It’s been three years, don’t worry, it’s a while and a half

　　Lu Shiwei, a well-known music critic, said in an interview with the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that the offline concert has been suspended for three years, and everyone is still looking forward to it. As for the situation of Jay Chou and Zeng Yike’s concert, it may be that the organizers’ preparations are not sufficient and the completion is relatively rough. On the other hand, it may also be that the epidemic has caused insufficient staff and some problems have occurred.

　　In Lu Shiwei’s opinion, whether it is Jay Chou or Zeng Yike’s incident, it should be just an example. After the offline concert gradually resumes in the future, I believe these problems can be solved. Wang Yi also said that the tour has just resumed, and the team also needs a period of adjustment process to push the business performance back to the best state.

　　Meng Lun, a veteran media person, believes that in the past three years, whether it is the performance practitioners, singers, or musicians themselves, they are all preparing for the resumption of offline concerts. What they have to do is to not be too hasty, and everything is ready before launching the project. It is also a kind of success to be no worse than three years ago. "I have been waiting for three years, and there is no hurry for this moment and a half. If you want to do it, do the best, do the best, and live up to the three years that you and your fans have been waiting for."
