Micro-observation of current politics "Soft Unicom": Integration promotes win-win situation.

  "If ‘ Belt and Road ’ Compared to the two wings of Asia’s take-off, then interconnection is the blood meridian of the two wings. "

  "We are willing to strengthen high-quality joint construction with the international community ‘ Belt and Road ’ Cooperation, together to promote global connectivity, so that more countries and more people can share development results. "

  The core connotation of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader is to promote infrastructure construction and interconnection, strengthen economic policy coordination and development strategy docking, promote coordinated development and achieve common prosperity.

  Interconnection is the key to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative, and "soft connectivity" is an important bridge and link to promote interconnection.

  In the past 10 years, the goal of building the "Belt and Road" is high standards, sustainability and benefiting people’s lives. With the important support of "soft connectivity" of rules and standards, it has added new impetus to promoting global interconnection and common development, and promoted the high-quality construction of the "Belt and Road" to go deeper and deeper.

  Building a high-standard free trade zone network

  On November 5, 2023, the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai), nicknamed "Four-leaf clover", will usher in the 6th China International Import Expo.

  China International Import Expo(CIIE), which was born in the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, is the first national exhibition with import theme in the world. In November 2018, at the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo(CIIE), the Chairman of the Supreme Leader solemnly promised to the world: "China International Import Expo should not only be held every year, but also be level, effective and better."

△ National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) South Plaza

  China has always insisted on opening up to the outside world at a high level, and steadily expanded institutional opening-up such as rules, management and standards. Chairman of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly expressed China’s proposition on international occasions — —

  In April 2019, at the opening ceremony of the second "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered a keynote speech: "We should promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, take a clear-cut stand against protectionism, and promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction."

  In November 2021, at the 30th anniversary summit of China-ASEAN dialogue relations, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "We firmly safeguard regional peace and stability, always focus on the theme of development, take the lead in establishing a free trade zone, and jointly build with high quality ‘ Belt and Road ’ Jointly promote the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which has promoted regional integration and development and people’s well-being. "

  … … … …

  The breakthrough in the system has brought about a pioneering work in the history of trade. On the ancient Eurasian continent, a trade network of Qvanxian Zhang emerged.

  Under the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, China and the members of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) integrated the trade rules of fifteen countries. The RCEP dividend has gradually emerged, and the number of "certified operators" agreements signed ranks first in the world. The "Belt and Road Economics" report released by the World Bank believes that the full implementation of the "Belt and Road Initiative" will increase trade between participating countries by 4.1%.

  Up to now, China has signed 21 free trade agreements with 28 countries and regions, and initially established a high-standard free trade zone network based on the surrounding areas, radiating and building the "Belt and Road" and facing the world.

  Today, the number of ASEAN fruits on the dining table in Chinese has increased from 53 10 years ago to 73, and the fruits on the "Belt and Road" are fragrant; China’s new energy vehicles have accelerated into ASEAN, quietly changing people’s lifestyles … The Belt and Road Initiative is a "hundred flowers garden" for China to share opportunities and seek common development with the world.

  Provide new forms of multilateral cooperation

  "The two sides should take this opportunity to carry forward the past and forge ahead, take advantage of the situation, and work together to draw fine and delicate ‘ Gongbi painting ’ To achieve high-quality development together. The two sides should also expand cooperation in poverty reduction and poverty alleviation, so that China-Ukraine mutually beneficial cooperation can benefit more and better the two peoples. "

  On September 13th, 2022, before paying a state visit to Uzbekistan, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader published a signed article in the local area, pointing out that the two sides should create a development pattern of balanced benefits, coordination, tolerance, win-win cooperation and common prosperity.

  The people of China not only want to live a good life for themselves, but also want the people of other countries to live a good life. Building the "Belt and Road" contains the feeling of "helping the world" that Chinese has had since ancient times, and strives to make the construction achievements more fair and benefit all parties involved in the joint construction.

  △ On September 24th, 2020, cotton farmers picked new cotton in a cotton field using drip irrigation technology in China, in the Syr Darya state of Uzbekistan.

  In Uzbekistan, Chinese enterprises have used rich industrial production experience to promote the development of agricultural modernization, greatly increasing the added value of products and broadening the channels for local farmers to increase their income and become rich. "We introduced cotton varieties from China. These varieties have higher yield and earlier maturity than those in China. Moreover, our cotton field belongs to saline-alkali land and low producing area, but we achieved a good harvest in the first year with China drip irrigation technology and cotton seeds. " Uzbekistan cotton farmers said excitedly.

  In Kenya, China’s scientific researchers went into the mountains and forests, and jointly compiled the Flora of Kenya with the National Museum of Kenya, which recorded nearly 7,000 vascular plant species in Kenya in 31 volumes, filling the gap in the study of plant resources in East Africa.

  △ On June 25th, 2021, in Kenya, an agricultural professor from China exchanged experimental results with Kenyan agricultural experts and Kenyan graduate students in the laboratory.

  In China, according to the local geographical characteristics and ecological environment, experts from South Korea have established different demonstration zones for quicksand fixation and vegetation restoration according to local conditions, and benefited the local area with decades of accumulated experience and technology in sand control.

  If "hard connectivity" has set up the "bones" of the Belt and Road Initiative, then "soft connectivity" has dredged the blood for the Belt and Road Initiative. Through bilateral cooperation, multilateral cooperation and other forms, more countries and enterprises are encouraged to participate deeply and form a joint development force.

  Victoria Kvak, vice president of the World Bank for East Asia and the Pacific, said that through the Belt and Road Initiative, China has provided the world with a new form of multilateral cooperation. Kenyan expert on international issues, Cavens Adehir, said that on the issue of promoting human progress and global development, China stood firmly with other countries, shared the fruits of development, and promoted the modernization of developing countries through technical and financial cooperation.

  Create a new paradigm of international communication

  "Good President, my name is Pablo Cordoba, and I am an earthquake survivor in Portoviejo. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. President for China’s assistance to our country and thank you for being with the Ecuadorian people. "

  In November 2016, Cordoba met the Chairman of the Supreme Leader in the lobby of the Ecuadorian Public Safety Emergency Command Center designed and built by China enterprises. Today, Cordoba still clearly remembers every detail at that time. "Chairman of the Supreme Leader came and took my hand and asked about my injury. I heard that there was nothing serious. He nodded with relief and asked me about my current work. "

  Ecuador’s public safety emergency command center is the post-earthquake rescue base camp of Ecuador’s strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale in 2016, and it is also one of the pragmatic achievements of strengthening information cooperation and promoting the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity.

△ Ecuador Public Security Emergency Command Center

  In the past 10 years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative to build a country has created a new concept and paradigm of international exchanges, and promoted the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction — —

  Work together to promote green and low-carbon development. China signed 47 memorandums of understanding on South-South cooperation on climate change with 39 co-construction countries, and cooperated with Laos, Cambodia and Seychelles to build low-carbon demonstration zones.

  Actively promote the construction of the "Healthy Silk Road". By the end of June, 2023, China had signed the Memorandum of Understanding on the Belt and Road cooperation in the field of health with the World Health Organization, and signed health cooperation agreements with more than 160 countries and international organizations.

  Cooperation in scientific and technological innovation was accelerated. Since 2013, China has built nine transnational technology transfer platforms for ASEAN, South Asia, Arab countries, Africa, Latin America and other regions, and started to build more than 50 "Belt and Road" joint laboratories in agriculture, new energy, health and other fields.

  Chairman of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Building together ‘ Belt and Road ’ Pursuing development, advocating a win-win situation and conveying hope. "

  China has actively established a multi-level policy communication mechanism with co-established countries and international organizations, promoted the "soft connectivity" of rules and mechanisms, injected "lubricant" and "catalyst" into deepening pragmatic cooperation, injected new impetus into global development and prosperity, and made new contributions to enhancing the people’s livelihood and well-being of all countries.

Love video | Physician’s Day We asked the doctor 8 questions.

  They race with death, compete with disease and try their best to protect the light of life. They are the guardians of health and the last line of defense of life. Their names are Dr. China. What we usually know is always the serious, earnest, careful and respectable side of doctors. In fact, they also have a cute or humorous side. This Physician’s Day, we interviewed six clinicians from different hospitals and departments, and asked them eight questions to show the public about different doctors.

  Invited physician:

  Yu Debao, Member of the Party Committee and Vice President of Jinan Dermatosis Prevention and Treatment Institute

  Lu Liang, Director of Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Jinan National Hospital

  Chen Dehong, Director of Children’s Third Division of Jinan Maternal and Child Health Hospital

  Cheng Ailing, Deputy Director of Internal Medicine, Jinan Hospital

  Attending physician Zhao Yunlai, Department of Emergency Medicine, East Hospital of Jinan Central Hospital

  Deputy Director, Department of Hypertension, Guang ‘anmen Hospital Jinan Hospital (Jinan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) Zhi Yingpeng, a Chinese physician.

  Q: How long has it been since you ate on time? Do you all eat lunch boxes?

  answer

  Yu Debao: Basically, you can’t eat by the order.

  Zhao Yunlai: I just ate a box lunch on the night shift yesterday.

  Cheng Ailing: Sometimes I can’t eat a box lunch, so I don’t have time to order it.

  Lu Liang: Eating is often just filling the stomach. How to digest and absorb it is left to the stomach to deal with.

  Q: What do you say to yourself when you walk into the hospital every day?

  answer

  Chen Dehong: I hope there will be fewer patients today.

  Lu Liang: Illness has abused me thousands of times, and I feel like my first love for patients.

  Cheng Ailing: I hope today is not a busy day.

  Zhi Yingpeng: There are still many patients waiting for me to help today. I must refuel!

  Q: What should I do when I meet a patient who has no idea how to treat him?

  answer

  Zhao Yunlai: Call all relevant departments. Of course, if you say two or three o’clock in the morning, you may be scolded.

  Chen Dehong: In the past, when I was a resident doctor, I called the director and the superior doctor. When they came, they were solved.

  Zhi Yingpeng: The symptoms of rambling vary in thousands ways, and they are inseparable from the exterior and interior. As long as we differentiate the symptoms according to the Eight Cardinal Principles in detail, we can always find out the cause.

  Lu Liang: Huh? There are diseases that you don’t know at all? I’m just the first-time doctor sitting in the consulting room, what the patient doesn’t know, and the number 100 expert behind me. Look at our WeChat group, this is the "rocking person" in society!

  Q: What are you most afraid of hearing in the hospital?

  answer

  Zhao Yunlai: The sound of 120 first aid at the door rang again.

  Yu Debao: After being a doctor for so many years, the most feared thing is that you can’t cure this disease if you are older than you think.

  Zhi Yingpeng: Doctor, why doesn’t your medicine work when I take it?

  Lu Liang: It’s hard to say what we are most afraid of, but we have the most taboo words. After the patient has been treated, we will never finish, but we will say come down and try it.

  Q: As a doctor, do you feel that your living habits are healthy?

  answer

  Chen Dehong: Very unhealthy.

  Cheng Ailing: It must be unhealthy. We can’t eat food on time at work, drink water by the order and have no time to exercise.

  Zhi Yingpeng: Definitely healthy. As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, I pay great attention to health preservation.

  Zhao Yunlai: I feel quite used to it and healthy. It is still very regular to have a rest at night and work more than 90 night shifts a year.

  Q: Why did you become a doctor?

  answer

  Chen Dehong: Influenced by my second sister, she is a doctor.

  Cheng Ailing: Because I thought this profession was noble since I was a child, I loved it very much and wanted to wear a white coat.

  Yu Debao: Actually, I didn’t want to be a doctor, but since I studied medicine and became a doctor, I will be a good doctor.

  Lu Liang: This can really blow a cow! I am the same as Zhang Zhongjing, and I have embarked on this road because I have patients at home.

  Q: As a doctor, when do you feel most fulfilled?

  answer

  Zhao Yunlai: After successfully rescuing a patient, especially a dying patient, I feel most fulfilled in my heart.

  Yu Debao: Actually, I have a sense of accomplishment every day since I became a doctor. I think it is my greatest happiness to cure patients.

  Chen Dehong: Difficult patients have been diagnosed under my hands, and critically ill patients have recovered under my hands. This is my greatest sense of accomplishment.

  Lu Liang: Speaking of a sense of accomplishment, in our rehabilitation department, it is often such a scene, that is, after the patient has finished treatment, he comes down and takes two steps, and the patient says that it doesn’t hurt. This is my greatest sense of accomplishment.

  Q: What is the most unforgettable thing about being a doctor?

  answer

  Chen Dehong: The patient has recovered, and I sincerely thank you.

  Lu Liang: When I first entered the business, I stayed in the hospital for 24 hours and talked with my colleagues and roommates all night, regardless of gains and losses, just for my illness.

  Yu Debao: I took part in the work on the eighth day of the first month of 1997, which happened to be Valentine’s Day on February 14th. On that day, I came to the hospital to report, and I said that my life was settled in the Dermatology Hospital.

  Cheng Ailing: When I was on the night shift, an 80-year-old man with cancer was brought in at 120. At that time, the patient could not wake up and was in critical condition. But through our active rescue and treatment, the patient finally woke up and was able to eat by himself. When we saw the smile of the patient’s family and thanked us, we were actually very fulfilled.

  Their answers may be different, but the same is the initial mission of protecting people’s health!

  Pay tribute to every doctor in China.

  Thanks for having you!

Compared with Chinese NMET mathematics, is American NMET mathematics really easy?

Original Dr. Ni from NiNi, Florida, in the United States.

After this year’s college entrance examination mathematics examination paper came out, there was a cry of bitterness on the Internet. As an American math teacher, I also looked at it curiously. Frankly speaking, it can only be described in one word: Meng.

There is no college entrance examination in the United States, only the SAT or ACT exam similar to the college entrance examination. My son, who is in senior three, took a naked SAT math test this year, with a total score of 800 points and a score of 740. This achievement ranks among the top 5% in the United States, and he still has one year to graduate (four years in American high school). Is it difficult to ask him a question? He said it was very simple, and all the tests were the most basic contents.

Compared with Chinese college entrance examination mathematics, what are the characteristics of American SAT mathematics?

1. Most of the topics are multiple-choice questions.

The mathematics part of the SAT is 80 minutes, with 58 questions, of which 45 are multiple-choice questions, and only 13 need to fill in the answers by themselves. The latter will be a little more difficult because it is easier to make mistakes.

I have taken several exams in the United States, and most of them are single-choice questions. The advantage of multiple choice questions is that you can guess the answer, and the error rate is also lower. For example, if there is a slight deviation in the calculation, you will find that there are no required options in the answer and you can’t check it again. Comparatively speaking, there are four kinds of math problems in China’s college entrance examination: single choice, multiple choice, filling in the blanks and solving problems, especially the last kind of solving problems, which needs to be reasoned, proved and solved step by step. It is really not easy.

2. Pay more attention to basic concepts

From the topic, American SAT mathematics pays more attention to the understanding of basic concepts.

The figure below shows the SAT’s examination of mathematical ability. It is divided into four categories, including core algebra, problem solving and data analysis, introduction to advanced mathematics, and other mathematical topics. The last item is related to interdisciplinary topics of mathematics and social sciences.

Taking the introduction of advanced mathematics as an example, the required abilities are: 1) identifying and creating algebraic equations; 2) Create, analyze and solve quadratic equations and other nonlinear equations fluently; 3) Create, use and draw charts of exponential equations, quadratic equations and other nonlinear equations. None of this exceeds the content of algebra 2.

Here are two sample questions to give you a rough idea of the difficulty.

3. The weight of SAT in American college entrance examination

Compared with the official nature of China’s college entrance examination, the American SAT is set and evaluated by the third-party university committee of the non-profit organization. Different from the Chinese college entrance examination, the admission of American universities depends on the GPA, specialties, community activities, community services, and application documents of students in high schools. The SAT is only used as a reference.

In recent years, American educational circles have been debating whether to cancel the SAT, but so far, the SAT is still a very important reference. If you do well in the exam, you will still have a considerable advantage in college admission.

Another difference of SAT is that you can take it many times and get the highest score. The following is the examination time for the 2022-2023 school year. In one school year, there were seven examination opportunities. Therefore, even if you don’t do well in the exam for a while, you won’t feel that the end of the world is coming. Just take the exam next time.

4. Emphasis on concepts in American mathematics teaching.

American mathematics teaching attaches great importance to concepts. One feeling is that sometimes I have to spend a lot of time teaching vocabulary. For example, there are as many as 12 words in the chapter of teaching geometric figure changes, and teaching vocabulary often becomes a difficult problem: how can students understand and remember it more easily?

For another example, American teachers attach great importance to the process of teaching unary equations.

I remember when we were in China, we learned to move all variables to the left and numbers to the right, but we had to change the sign. The United States emphasizes the meaning of "equation", and all operations should not exceed the line of "equal sign". Add a number to the left and a number to the right, as well as multiplication and division, so as to maintain the balance on both sides of "equal sign". Compared with mathematics teaching in China, it is much more complicated, but easier to understand.

Therefore, I take the best of both, teaching with the American method, and doing my own problems with the China method, because it is much faster.

Look at Chinese’s criticism of the deviation of the math college entrance examination questions, while Americans are also criticizing their math education problems, and some also compare China and think that American math education is much behind China. In my opinion, there are only different ideas, and each has its own views on which is better or worse.

Do you prefer the math college entrance examination in China or the SAT math exam in the United States? Welcome to vote. Also welcome to leave a message for discussion.

KFC sells its China business in a low-key way, while McDonald’s sells it in a high-key way.

  Unlike McDonald’s high-profile packaging of China stores for sale, KFC, another iconic American fast food chain giant, unexpectedly sold its China business in a low-key manner. The night before yesterday, Yum! Brands, the parent companies of KFC and Pizza Hut and listed on the new york Stock Exchange, announced that Yum! China would be separated from Yum! Brands and listed on the NYSE as an independent company. At the same time, after the spin-off, Yum! China will receive a total investment of US$ 460 million from Chunhua Capital and Ant Financial. This means that Yum! Brands has sold part of its operations in KFC and Pizza Hut in China to two purchasers from China.

  Yum!’ s business in China has fallen into a trough?

  In fact, Yum! Brands has already paved the way for China business. Last October, it announced that it planned to split Yum! Brands and Yum! China, and this transaction was carried out on the basis of that split at that time.

  KFC is the first American fast food chain brand to enter the mainland market in China. In 1987, it opened its first store in Qianmen, then the most prosperous business district in Beijing. At that time, it was fashionable for both Beijingers and foreign tourists to queue up for a fried chicken or a hamburger at KFC. And KFC’s rule of "throw away the food after it has been sold for 90 minutes" brought from the United States has also attracted the attention of consumers in China. It is likely that KFC’s great success in exploring the China market attracted McDonald’s. Subsequently, McDonald’s also entered the mainland market of China in 1990. For a long time after that, these two brands were the iconic brands of American fast food culture in China.

  In 2015, China accounted for half of the global business of Yum! Brands. However, this data can’t hide its downward trend in the China market. Since the incident that Shanghai Fuxi reprocessed expired meat raw materials and changed the shelf life and supplied them to McDonald’s and KFC restaurants in July 2014, KFC’s single-store income began to decline continuously. Yum! China’s same-store sales fell by 16% in the third quarter of 2014, and almost all of them fell by double digits in the following three quarters. Parkson’s financial report for the second quarter of this year, just released in July this year, shows that the same-store sales of KFC in China increased by 2% year-on-year, but it actually climbed slowly from the low base of last year’s lowest valley. During the same period, the same-store sales of Pizza Hut in China shrank by 11%. Therefore, it is widely analyzed that the reason why foreign shareholders strongly demand Yum! Brands to spin off its business in China has something to do with the poor prospect.

  The "China Golden Period" of franchising may have passed.

  Franchising is an effective way for KFC to expand its business in the world. As early as 1993, it began to carry out franchising in China, and since 2000, it has only adopted the franchising mode of "not starting from scratch" in China. The so-called "not starting from scratch" means that KFC will hand over a mature and profitable restaurant to its franchisees. In this way, franchisees can put all their energy into the operation and management of stores without having to make preliminary preparations such as site selection, opening stores, recruiting and training employees. This greatly reduces the business risks of KFC franchisees. In the words of Su Jingshi, former president of Yum! China Restaurant Group Greater China, "franchisees can succeed only by maintaining." By this means, KFC has achieved rapid expansion in China, and the number of stores has reached nearly 5,000 by the end of last year.

  However, KFC has set a high threshold for joining, and the transfer fee for each restaurant is as high as 8 million yuan. After that, the going-concern expenses include the franchise fee accounting for 6% of the sales and the advertising sharing fee accounting for 5% of the sales, and the first agreement is signed for at least ten years. At this point, McDonald’s joining in China is exactly the same, and even the joining fee and cost-sharing ratio are exactly the same. This is obviously not a simple imitation of who, but a careful calculation based on a rigorous business model.

  In fact, no matter KFC or McDonald’s, its investment in the global business chain is more than the catering service itself, that is, it operates the store in a benign state by selecting a location. As can be seen from the income structure of the two catering giants, this part of the profits is far greater than their own stores. With KFC and McDonald’s reaching the scale of thousands of stores in China and gradually covering third-and fourth-tier cities, the blank market space in the future is getting smaller and smaller, and the golden period of realizing profits through joining and transferring has passed. Therefore, it may be the best time for them to "pack up and sell" their business in China.

  Although the supply of raw materials, as well as the annual brand use and marketing promotion expenses exceeding 10% of sales are still the long-term benefits they can enjoy, it is obviously only a decimal for them. Moreover, with the increasingly fierce competition in the catering market in China, the future sales potential of these foreign fast foods is not clear.

  The receiver may want to change the joining mode and continue to expand.

  Judging from the current Chinese takers of foreign fast food, whether it is Chunhua Capital or Ant Financial, or BTG, Sanpower and Sinochem, which are interested in bidding for McDonald’s China business, their real intention is probably not to directly participate in the catering industry, but to graft their current business to achieve profits in a new expansion mode.

  This can be seen from the caliber of Ant Financial. "Ant Financial will help Yum! China provide mobile payment services for its brands, including Alipay platform." In fact, although the online speculation of Ma Yun "finally achieved revenge for not being hired by KFC that year", in fact, Ma Yun is definitely a supporting role in this investment — — His total investment with Hu Zuliu of Chunhua Capital will only account for a few percent of Parkson China in the future. Even compared with Hu Zuliu, the $50 million invested by Ma Yun is too small, accounting for only a fraction of the total investment of $460 million.

  In fact, it can be seen from the fact that no real catering enterprise is willing to take over the business of KFC and McDonald’s in China that these two brands are more tools for the industry, which may also indicate that their future development in China will not be too exciting. Even some people in the industry believe that China KFC and McDonald’s, which have been abandoned by their parent companies, may embark on a development path in China that is divorced from stores in other countries in the world.

  I don’t know if it is the first move to merge into Ali. The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that KFC will officially enter Tmall on September 6. In the future, consumers can buy electronic coupons for KFC food in Tmall stores and then exchange them for corresponding foods in physical stores.

  Financial observation

  Kfcs are "old"?

  Although in many countries, KFC and McDonald’s are still regarded as the representatives of American fast food industry and even the symbols of American consumer culture, in fact, in the United States, more and more people have begun to diversify their choices, especially the opportunities for the younger generation of Americans to enter KFC are decreasing.

  In the first half of the year, the only cross-industry economic indicator of customer satisfaction in the United States, the American Customer Satisfaction Index, released the 2016 Restaurant Satisfaction Survey Report. It shows that the average satisfaction score of fast food restaurants in the United States this year is 79, but the scores of KFC and Pizza Hut under Yum! are below the average. McDonald’s ranked at the bottom of many participating fast food chain stores with a score of 69 points, and McDonald’s ranked at the bottom last year.

  As for the poor performance of KFC and McDonald’s, some American businessmen believe that although this does not mean that the food quality of KFC and McDonald’s has declined, they are "really old" in the eyes of American consumers and can no longer be the most typical representative of American fast food culture.

  In fact, in the China market, KFC and McDonald’s are also facing the same problem. With a new generation of young people becoming the main force of fast food consumption, McDonald’s and KFC are no longer their absolute first choice to experience foreign fast food, and a large number of other brands of fast food subdivide the China market. More crucially, no matter how the varieties cater to the taste of China population, the standard fried chicken, French fries, hamburgers and coke that KFC and McDonald’s take care of have become the global representatives of "junk food". More and more young families in China have kept their children away from such fast food restaurants, at least in first-and second-tier cities.

  For KFC and McDonald’s in China, the aura of standardization and trustworthiness that they were most proud of in the past has also been shattered with repeated food safety incidents. No matter Sudan red or fast-growing chicken, and then to the Shanghai Fuxi incident, these foreign fast foods have not been able to stay out of it.

It’s no use climbing the Great Wall? Hollywood stars need value recognition to become normal in China.

(This article was first published in "Movie Rising Potential", welcome WeChat to search filmmore for attention)


    1905 movie network exclusive feature The summer file in 2016 has passed, and the film market has once again returned to calm. Recently released, it has become an important film connecting the summer file and the Mid-Autumn Festival file. Paramount Pictures, its production company, attaches great importance to the mainland market. In mid-August, it arranged for the film’s main creator to come to China and hold two premieres in Beijing and Guangzhou.

 

    On the day before the Beijing premiere, director Lin Yibin boarded the Great Wall with chris pine, zachary quinto, zoe saldana and simon pegg to warm up for the event, which can be described as dedication. As of yesterday (9.7), the box office of the five-day release was 267 million yuan, with a mediocre performance. It seems that the hard publicity of the crew of Enterprise did not play a big role.

Star Trek 3 was mediocre.

    For friends who like foreign films, this year should be a relatively satisfying year. Many sub-account films have not only achieved synchronous and quasi-synchronous introduction, but also Hollywood first-line stars have come to China one after another, giving mainland fans the opportunity to get close to idols. One premiere after another, one meeting after another, kept the stars and fans busy. However, how much impact does this have on the commercial performance of the film? In recent years, Hollywood stars have broken their heads and come to China. Why?

 

Why do Hollywood stars come to China more and more frequently?

 

    Nowadays, the frequency of Hollywood stars coming to China is unimaginable four or five years ago. In 2009, before the release, director michael bay and the leading actors: Shia La Beouf and megan fox came to Asia for publicity. First, they held the world premiere in Tokyo, followed by the premiere in Seoul, South Korea, and returned to the United States after circling China for half a circle. As for why the China premiere was not held, michael bay gave the explanation that no one in China paid for the invitation.

In 2009, Transformed king kong 2 held its world premiere in Tokyo.

    In February 2012, China and the United States reached the "China-US Film Agreement". China will add 14 3D or IMAX films on the basis of introducing about 20 American film quotas each year; The US box office account has increased from 13% to 25%. The increase in the proportion of accounts has laid a prerequisite for Hollywood stars to come to China in the future. The mainland box office is 280 million, and the film can get about 36 million (equivalent to about 5.5 million US dollars), which is probably why the cast of Transformed king kong 2 is unwilling to come.

 

    With the rise of the mainland film market, the annual box office in China reached 44 billion yuan in 2015, especially the emergence of two 2 billion-level box office bombs, which greatly stimulated Hollywood film companies, and the roles of China and the United States in the distribution of sub-accounts films also changed. Looking back at the mainland publicity activities, we can clearly see this change.

"Star Wars 7" Juyongguan "The Force Awakens at the Top of the Great Wall" Publicity Campaign

    In October, 2015, Star Wars 7 held a publicity campaign of "The Force Awakens at the Top of the Great Wall" in Juyongguan. Hundreds of die-hard Star Wars fans with lightsabers and many media visited the site, and 500 storm troopers occupied the steps of the Great Wall. The four beacon towers at Juyongguan Great Wall lit up the four characters of "Original", "Strength", "Consciousness" and "Awakening" in turn.

 

    At the end of the year, "Star Wars 7" held a grand premiere in Shanghai, with director Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, producer kathleen kennedy, leading actor J·J· boyega and heroine Daisy Ridley all appearing, next to the Shanghai landmark building at the premiere site — — Two giant "lightsabers" were lit on the top floor of Le Meridien Royal Shanghai Shimao. In addition, Lu Han was hired as the promotion ambassador in China, and materials were put in. It is understood that Disney spent $20 million on the promotion of Star Wars 7 in mainland China.

In 2023, the Chengdu ITTF Mixed Team World Cup will drive the output value of sports industry and accommodation industry to reach 260 million yuan, and the "flow" of the event will become the "increme

The 2023 Chengdu ITTF Mixed Team World Cup came to an end a few days ago. The box office of this brand-new event, which was created by the ITTF, was about 28 million yuan. More than 35,000 tickets were robbed in one hour in the first round of ticket sales, and 10,000 tickets were sold in the second round of ticket sales in 7 minutes.

According to the data, more than 20,000 fans outside Chengdu bought tickets to watch the game, and the average cost per fan ranged from 2,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan. The output value of sports industry, accommodation industry, catering industry, transportation industry and shopping reached 260 million yuan.

Consumption "increment"

A large number of people watch the events across provinces and cities, which drives a series of consumption such as tourism and transportation.

According to the data of barley net, the official ticketing platform, in 2023, there were 39,535 users of Chengdu ITTF mixed team World Cup, and the total number of tickets purchased was 60,139. Judging from the residence of the whole ticket purchasing crowd, Sichuan accounts for 15.45%, Guangdong 13.09%, Chongqing 8.88%, Zhejiang 8.08%, Jiangsu 5.36%, Shanghai 4.48%, Beijing 4.16%, Shandong 3.74%, Hubei 3.38% and Hunan 3.15%.

The proportion of people who watch events across provinces and cities has increased, which has increased the flow of tens of thousands of people in the city in a short period of time and stimulated a series of consumption such as tourism and transportation.

Ctrip data shows that from December 4 to December 10, the number of travel orders from other places to Chengdu increased by more than 2 times year-on-year, hotels increased by more than 10 times, and air tickets increased by about 1.5 times. Compared with November 27th to December 3rd, the number of travel orders from other places in Rongrong increased by 3%, and hotel bookings increased by over 30%.

According to Ctrip’s online service platform, during the week of the competition, many hotels within 500 meters of Fiona Fang of Sichuan Gymnasium were in short supply, and the main room types showed "booked up" early.

"Sports watching tours have brought direct benefits to the city." Wang Xueli, director of Tsinghua University Sports Industry Development Research Center, gave an example. This year is the year of Chengdu Universiade. As one of the Universiade venues, Sichuan Gymnasium has been upgraded in software and hardware, creating a better watching experience for the audience. "This is actually the benefit of the Universiade, which reflects the input-output mechanism of large-scale comprehensive sports games."

Investment "increment"

Hold a "sports+"industry promotion meeting with the event as the link.

Wuhou District, as the venue of this tournament, is rich in cultural tourism resources, and Wuhou Temple, Huaxi Dam and Wangjianglou are all famous tourist punching places in China. During the games, the passenger flow of these scenic spots increased significantly. One week before the competition, the sales of merchants in Yulin East Road during the competition generally increased by 20% to 80%, the merchants of light meals and snacks increased by about 80%, the beauty and hairdressing business increased by about 50%, the retail and cultural entrepreneurship increased by about 40%, and the beverage business increased by about 20%.

Wonderful competition and excellent service continue to polish the city brand of "three cities and three capitals" in Chengdu. Wuhou district also takes the competition as a link and goes all out to promote high-quality development. On December 4th, at the supporting activity of the event-2023 Chengdu "Sports Plus" Industry Promotion Conference, Wuhou District signed a multi-project contract with a total value of 400 million yuan.

Judging from the long-term effect, Wang Xueli believes that the innovative hosting and service guarantee of this event have been praised by athletes and media at home and abroad, which has established a good reputation for Chengdu’s hosting of the event and contributed to the construction of a world famous event city. "This will promote Chengdu’s city image and city positioning on the international stage." (Reporter Xue Jian)

How useful is it for animals to "play dead"? They will die for you in minutes.

Original SME SME technology story

Teenager, are you eager for strength? Want to be a hypnotist? Now all you need is a chicken, and hypnosis can be done quickly.

First, hold the chicken tightly so that its head is down and its beak is on the ground, and then draw a trace on the ground with chalk or fingers. Wait until the chicken is quiet and then let go of your hand, and you will get a new "stupefied chicken"

A "hypnotized" chicken

Of course, this is not true hypnosis, it uses the fear instinct of animals in the face of threats. Your fierce operation made it mistakenly think that a predator was close at hand, so it fell into a state of suspended animation (Thanatosis).

Hamiton Bertie Gibson, a British psychologist, mentioned in his book that the ultimate record of the longest time a chicken was hypnotized was 3 hours and 47 minutes.

In 1646, the German scholar Athanasius Kircher observed a chicken that went into suspended animation because of fear.

There are many animals that play dead in nature, and it also has a proper term called "tonic immobility".

This is a defensive strategy, which widely exists in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and insects, and the "death method" is even more varied.

The 5-year-old girl in the CCTV program "Challenge Impossible" has "hypnotized" (scared) dogs, lizards, chickens, frogs and spiders, and was madly spit out.

It is precisely because suspended animation is so common that a number of so-called animal "hypnotists" have been made. They made a simple animal instinct magical and full of mystery.

There is a big brother who started a chicken farm, and even sold the local chicken at twice the price of the local market by the marketing method of "hypnotizing chicken". And those who buy chickens are really uneducated.

When confronted with a potential threat, two signals will immediately appear in an animal’s mind-"fight" or "flight", also called Fight-or-flight response. This is like the degree to which the brain has written, and you will choose between them, so that the body will respond quickly to better protect itself.

But in fact, in the case of "fighting" but not "escaping", our bodies can still fall into the third state-freeze.

Fight, flight and freeze displayed by Lego villains

When being touched at close range or feeling attacked, the rigidity of the prey may be triggered. But this state is not a decision made after careful consideration, but an involuntary defense mechanism.

They are really stiff and unable to move as if they had been acupoints. However, his brain is still spinning rapidly, and he is also alert to the changes in the surrounding environment.

On the surface, this rabbit enjoys the shower, but in fact, it has entered a state of suspended animation because of fear. Rabbits are prone to stress reactions and blind bathing is not recommended.

In fact, in the face of great pressure and threats, human beings will also have similar tonic static reactions. Have you ever tried, because you are too nervous, standing on the podium with your head blank and you can’t say a word?

In addition, when human beings are infringed, they often have temporary paralysis. Some researchers have talked with 300 women who have been sexually assaulted and found that 70% of them experienced obvious rigidity and stillness when they were attacked. They will be paralyzed, unable to scream, unable to resist, and their bodies will be completely out of control. Similarly, soldiers who have been on the battlefield have also had similar experiences.

It’s just that there are many mysteries about animal suspended animation. Because the matter of animals pretending to be dead is quite strange and full of doubts.

An animal faking its death is like taking its own life as a gamble. The success or failure of this gamble depends entirely on the foraging mode of hunters.

Fake dead frog

First of all, it is difficult to know whether the hunter will lose interest in the dead individual by pretending to be dead. If suspended animation can’t make hunters lose interest, then the poor guy who wants to get away with it by suspended animation will miss the best chance to escape. On the contrary, it makes the hunting work easier for hunters, and if they are not careful, they will directly change from "suspended animation" to "real death".

Moreover, the state of suspended animation can not reduce the sensory ability of predators to locate or identify prey, and it can not enhance the resistance of prey when attacked. Many times, this kind of rigidity and stillness will remain for a while, and the risk of being eaten seems to be even greater.

Fake dead bird

However, judging from the results of evolution, the strategy of feigning death is still useful with a high probability, and the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If some predators delay eating, are not interested in dead things, and even find it difficult to distinguish still things, then the prey may escape.

In fact, obedience can really hurt yourself less. The state of rigidity and stillness can inhibit the further attack of predators and reduce the action of hunters to subdue their prey.

For another example, many top hunters will be more interested in the prey that is fleeing around, such as your cat, and the favorite is the cat-teasing stick full of soul. If the cat comes after a group of mice, and if all the other mice are running away, then the little mouse who is scared and unable to move is more likely to survive.

Similarly, most cases of feigning death belong to the "last desperate attempt", and it is an effective strategy to wait for hunters to relax their vigilance and find opportunities to escape. And fake death. Maybe it can really make some animals get to the end.

In nature, the best acting is the North American opossum (Didelphis Virginia), which deserves an Oscar in the animal kingdom.

It’s really not dead.

The North American opossum is the only marsupial living in North America. On the American continent about 70 million years ago, marsupial companions of opossums survived.

Only later, due to the rise of carnivores and other reasons, these marsupials with little resistance became extinct and went to the end. Only the opossum shoulders the fate of the whole marsupial, and survives tenaciously on the American continent, dealing with top hunters such as red fox, wolf, jaguar and short-tailed cat.

But it is in this case that the number of opossums in North America is still increasing. Among them, knowing how to play dead is a great knowledge and advantage for their survival.

The possum playing dead in Ice Age

Although the population of opossum in North America is huge, they are properly located at the "low end of the food chain", and almost any animal larger than it is a natural enemy. Therefore, opossums can only lie in the daytime and go out at night, and live by preying on insects, snails, birds, and occasionally eat some plants. In addition, the North American opossum moving on the ground without the shelter of trees is also clumsy and has poor defense ability.

When chased by the enemy to the end of the road, they will fall to the ground with a thud and enter a state of suspended animation-eyes closed, mouth slightly open, uvula spit out, belly swelled, tail drooping and winding in a circle, motionless.

When the dog comes, he can only pretend to be a dead opossum.

In order to be more realistic, the North American opossum will tremble slightly when it falls down, and its breathing and heart rate will slow down and its body temperature will drop while shivering. In addition, the glands near their anus will secrete a foul yellow-green mucus, which tastes like a highly corrupt corpse. If I don’t know, I really think it has been dead for three days and nights, and the body stinks. And this can often deter hunters and make it difficult to swallow.

It is precisely because of the grandiose acting skills of the North American opossum that people have specially invented a word "play possum" to describe the behavior of some people who pretend to be deaf and deaf.

Playing dead pig nose snake

Similar to the possum’s way of playing dead, there is also a pig-nosed snake. When encountering a hunter, the pig-nosed snake will bluff first, spread its neck ribs and make a horrible hiss, just like being possessed by a cobra.

But when bluffing doesn’t work, they will decisively enter the suspended animation mode, with their bellies turned up, their mouths opened to spit out the letter, and even oozing blood drops. The pig-nosed snake, like the opossum, also carries its own chemical weapons, which will give off an extremely unpleasant smell and very dissuade it.

Therefore, animals’ suspended animation is not simply lying on the ground, but they will also make themselves more difficult to swallow through various strategies.

What is even more surprising is that some animals in nature have learned to use the "rigidity and stillness" of other animals to hunt.

Whether in the wild, in captivity or in the laboratory, humans have long discovered that sharks, the top hunters, can also fake their deaths.

Turning the shark over and stimulating the skin around its nose may trigger the shark’s suspended animation for up to 15 minutes. Using shark’s suspended animation can also make researchers reduce the shark’s struggle and reduce the probability of injury to both sides when subduing sharks.

However, some people think that this rigidity and stillness of sharks is not due to fear, but related to reproduction. Studies have shown that after obtaining the mating right of the female, the male will also turn over the female body to cause rigidity and stillness, thus making the whole mating process smoother and easier.

But in any case, killer whales with IQ of off the charts seem to have seen through everything, and have learned to kill sharks by faking their deaths.

When encountering a shark, killer whales don’t rush to fight, but rush over and knock it over, biting the shark with their mouths so that it can enter a state of rigidity and stillness.

In 1997, someone photographed this precious picture of killer whales "outwitting" great white sharks off the coast of California, USA. Sharks in this state easily become the lunch of killer whales. Another example of killer whales "hypnotizing" their prey took place in New Zealand, and the victim was a stingray.

Fight scene in 1997

It can be seen that playing dead is really not omnipotent, and the "final interpretation right" is still in the hands of hunters. Finally, by the way, it is really useless to "pretend to be dead" when you meet a bear in the wild. If you meet a bear who has been hungry or sick, pretending to be dead is equivalent to sending a lunch box directly.
