Speaking of pickup truck models, I believe most people will think of Ford F-150 (parameter picture), while domestic pickup trucks are mostly positioned as agricultural vehicles. Until the appearance of the Great Wall Cannon, everyone changed the impression that domestic pickup trucks are low-end and simple. Recently, we have obtained a set of spy photos of the interior of the off-road version of the Great Wall Gun from relevant channels. Compared with the ordinary version, the interior of the new car has changed greatly.

As can be seen from the picture, the center console of the new car adopts a very straight line design, so the full LCD instrument is also different from the traditional model. In the middle, there is an embedded central control panel, and the air conditioning outlet is located below the central control panel, and some silver physical buttons are retained, which is equally exquisite. In addition, it can be seen that the new car adopts an irregular gear handle design, and there are two knobs around it, one of which should be the driving mode knob.

Then let’s review the appearance. As can be seen from the previous declaration, the whole shape of the new car has a very strong American pickup style. In addition to a large number of black kits, the front of the new car also has a large area of chrome-plated material, so it is both wild and exquisite.

In the power part, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T gasoline turbocharged engine of the Great Wall GW4C20B model, with a maximum power of 221 HP (165 kW). As for the specific four-wheel drive structure, we will announce it as soon as there is news.

　　● Does inter-provincial purchasing behavior violate relevant laws and regulations? Some people think that cross-provincial purchasing of online celebrity drinks or food has food safety hazards for consumers and illegal risks for purchasers in different places, so it is best not to try; Some people think that this is a civil agency, not an illegal operation.

　　□ "Rule of Law Weekend" reporter Liu Xiping

　　"Purchasing Modern China Tea Shop, the whole process of high-speed rail freezing preservation, can be purchased in many places, and interested parties can consult … …”

　　Recently, Modern China Tea Shop, the "online celebrity milk tea" in Changsha, Hunan Province, was purchased by other provinces, which once again attracted attention from all walks of life. Some netizens broke the news that some people specialize in purchasing milk tea in Modern China Tea Shop. Buyers buy milk tea from Changsha through the take-away platform, and then take the high-speed train to and from Hangzhou, Zhejiang and other places. After the milk tea arrives in other cities, guests pick up the goods by flash delivery. Buyers can earn thousands of dollars in one trip.

　　On July 14, Modern China Tea Shop responded to this purchasing phenomenon in his official Weibo: "Modern China Tea Shop does not support any purchasing behavior, and hopes that buyers will stop this behavior and also appeal to consumers not to buy milk tea."

　　Whether this cross-provincial purchase of "online celebrity milk tea" violates relevant laws and regulations has aroused heated public debate. The reporter conducted an interview on this.

　　Online celebrity milk tea cross-province daigou

　　You can earn thousands of dollars by running.

　　Modern China Tea Shop is a brand of Hunan Tea Yue Catering Management Co., Ltd.. The company was established in March 2015, focusing on tea and desserts. Because of its high popularity and reputation in Changsha, many consumers buy Modern China Tea Shop milk tea every day, which has become a popular "online celebrity milk tea".

　　However, this "online celebrity milk tea" has recently encountered difficulties in purchasing it across provinces. According to media reports, Modern China Tea Shop milk tea, which sells at 12 yuan in Changsha stores, was purchased by a special person, and the price approached 60 yuan when it arrived in the hands of Hangzhou guests.

　　The informant told the reporter that these purchasing personnel first collected and sorted out orders through the purchasing applet in their city. When the number of orders reached a certain number, they began to take the high-speed train or plane to Changsha to pick up the goods — — Place an order on the takeaway before departure, and contact to pick up the goods after arriving at the train station. Put the goods in a special incubator immediately after they arrive, and then return. Despite the long distance and time, business is still booming.

　　The person who broke the news said that before purchasing orders for 100 cups a day, it has now increased to 200 cups, and it is still in short supply, and the profit per round trip can reach 2,500 yuan. According to reports, the "Latte of Youlan" and "Oolong of Sound" in Modern China Tea Shop are 16 yuan and 15 yuan respectively, and they were sold to 39 yuan after purchasing in Hangzhou. If two people take the high-speed train from hangzhou east railway station to Changsha South Station for purchasing, it will be 1620 yuan for them to take the second-class high-speed train ticket back and forth. If you buy 200 cups at a time, excluding the costs of labor, dry ice, foam boxes, taxis, etc., one cup of milk tea can earn 23 yuan, and 200 cups is 4,600 yuan. Excluding the cost of tickets, two people can earn 2,500 yuan.

　　The reporter combed the news disclosed by the media and found that the business of purchasing Modern China Tea Shop milk tea has emerged in recent years, not only in Hangzhou, but also in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Hefei, Anhui and other cities around Changsha. The mode is that consumers book in advance. After reaching a certain number, the purchaser places an order in advance on the mobile phone, and then takes the high-speed train to pick up the goods and go back and forth one day.

　　There are food safety hazards.

　　Shops crack down on purchasing behavior

　　In the interview, the reporter learned that milk tea with breast covers in summer has a short storage time, so it is necessary to observe whether the cream has melted when drinking. If the cream has melted, it will have a slightly sour taste. In this case, it is generally not recommended to drink, because milk tea has deteriorated, and the deteriorated milk tea contains a lot of sugar, which is easy to breed bacteria.

　　Due to long-distance transportation, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of milk tea. The appearance of inter-provincial purchasing has undoubtedly brought great challenges to the quality and reputation of Modern China Tea Shop milk tea.

　　In the face of the increasing cross-provincial purchasing, Modern China Tea Shop responded in the official Weibo on July 14th that Modern China Tea Shop does not support any purchasing behavior, and hoped that purchasers would stop this behavior, and also appealed to consumers not to purchase milk tea from any channel. Modern China Tea Shop milk tea bought by consumers through cross-city purchasing is not only particularly expensive, but also particularly unpalatable, and it is likely that the milk tea bought is not produced in Modern China Tea Shop at all.

　　Modern China Tea Shop also said that their milk tea is made on the spot, with short shelf life and harsh storage conditions. A cup of milk tea on the spot is transported for a long distance without suitable and stable storage conditions, which poses great food safety risks.

　　"Food safety is greater than the sky, and this kind of purchase that has touched the red line of food safety will be ‘ One-vote veto ’ . As the related report said, in order to crack down on milk tea purchasing, our stores will verify the purchase reasons when they receive large orders. If it is confirmed as a purchasing behavior, the store will refuse to take the order. I really don’t dare to be lucky in everyone’s health, and I hope everyone can understand more. " Modern China Tea Shop said.

　　On the morning of July 16th, the reporter called the escort agency store of Modern China Tea Shop Shuangta International Plaza in the name of ordinary consumers to order 100 cups of milk tea, but the store staff refused to accept this order on the grounds that the order was too large to take orders.

　　However, some insiders believe that it is still unknown whether Modern China Tea Shop’s move has any effect on cracking down on purchasing behavior. "If Modern China Tea Shop doesn’t accept big orders, the purchaser may break them into parts and find some people to buy them locally, which will only increase the purchasing cost."

　　Then, does the railway department have any relevant restrictions on the behavior of carrying hundreds of cups of milk tea on the high-speed rail? To this end, the reporter called the 12306 railway service hotline for consultation on July 15. The railway staff replied that according to the relevant regulations of the railway department, passengers can carry common liquids, such as drinking water, when taking the high-speed rail. "As long as each person carries no more than 20 kilograms. After some trials at the pit stop, you can still bring the high-speed rail. " Obviously, the railway department can’t stop the pace of cross-provincial purchasers.

　　Inter-provincial purchasing sparked heated discussion

　　Whether it is illegal or not is inconclusive.

　　Does this cross-provincial purchasing behavior violate relevant laws and regulations?

　　Some people think that such an inter-provincial purchasing activity actually involves three civil contracts: one is the agency contract between the purchaser and the client, which is an equal and voluntary civil contract. As long as the wishes of both parties are true and the contents involved are not illegal, it is legal and effective, and there is no legal basis for the statement that purchasing can only be limited to acquaintances and friends; The second is the sales contract between the purchaser and Modern China Tea Shop, which is not controversial; The third is the passenger transport contract between the purchaser and the high-speed rail, which is no problem. Since the above three contracts involved in purchasing are legal and valid, it is obviously a bit arbitrary to rashly assert that this cross-provincial purchasing is suspected of illegal operation.

　　"Purchasing milk tea across provinces is a labor income in itself. I don’t think it has reached the level of seriously disrupting market order and should not be illegal." A lawyer in Changsha talked to reporters about his views.

　　Huang Jie, a professor at the Law School of Hunan Normal University, believes that this kind of large-scale purchasing behavior aimed at making profits and targeting unspecified people is suspected of multiple violations.

　　Huang Jie introduced that according to the relevant provisions of the Food Hygiene Law, food producers and operators refer to all units or individuals engaged in food production and operation. Food production and marketing personnel engaged in food production and marketing without obtaining a health certificate, or those who are not allowed to contact directly imported food due to illness and are not transferred according to regulations, shall be ordered to make corrections and may be fined not more than 5,000 yuan.

　　"This kind of inter-provincial purchasing involves the acquisition, storage, transportation, sales and other links in food production and operation. Purchasing personnel engage in food transportation without personal health certificates, which obviously violates the Food Hygiene Law." Huang Jie said that milk tea is easy to deteriorate and breed bacteria after long-distance transportation, which will endanger the health of the client in serious cases.

　　Huang Jie believes that food is a special commodity, and Article 2 of the Food Hygiene Law clearly stipulates that the state implements a food hygiene supervision system. This kind of profit-oriented large-scale purchasing for unspecified objects has already belonged to food business activities.

　　"Because it is out of the supervision of relevant departments, it has actually disrupted the market order and belongs to illegal business activities. At present, according to the analysis of news reports, the circumstances may not be serious, so it is not necessary to apply criminal law to deal with it for the time being. However, if this kind of behavior continues, which constitutes serious circumstances or causes serious consequences, it may constitute the ‘ Other illegal business practices that seriously disrupt the market order ’ Relevant departments can investigate and deal with it according to law. " Huang Jie said.

　　In Huang Jie’s view, this kind of cross-provincial purchasing can easily lead to disputes. "The entrusting party does not know the real name, identity and address of the purchasing party, and it is also difficult to investigate and verify. Many entrusting parties conduct transactions by paying first and then receiving goods, which is prone to the loss, damage or non-conformity of goods. Once there is a dispute over rights and interests, the entrusting party may encounter many obstacles in safeguarding rights. In addition, these ‘ Operator ’ It is also suspected of tax evasion and other issues that violate tax laws. "

　　Huang Jie suggested that purchasing drinks or foods in online celebrity across provinces may pose food safety risks to consumers and illegal risks to purchasers in different places, so it is best not to try.

　　Lawyer Li Jinbao, a partner of Beijing Gancheng Law Firm, believes that purchasing goods belongs to agency behavior and belongs to the legal relationship between consumers and purchasing agents or businesses. "Inter-provincial purchasing ‘ Online celebrity milk tea ’ This kind of purchasing behavior obviously has huge profits, which belongs to paid agency behavior and business behavior, and should be strictly registered according to law. "

　　Li Jinbao analyzed that according to the relevant provisions of the E-commerce Law, which came into effect on January 1, 2019, the for-profit "purchasing" activities that take place in China and undertake and carry out business through information networks belong to e-commerce activities and need to be regulated by the E-commerce Law.

　　"Although there is no clear definition of business activities in the law, business activities have two basic characteristics: facing unspecified objects and aiming at profit." Li Jinbao said that if you buy goods on behalf of specific relatives and friends by traveling, even if you charge a certain reward or reward, it should not be considered as a business activity; And if for the purpose of profit, people buy goods on behalf of many people with high frequency, multiple times and high amount, it should be regarded as business activities and should be bound by e-commerce law.

　　Li Jinbao believes that, according to the requirements of the E-commerce Law, natural persons engaging in "purchasing" business are commercial services, and they must obtain business licenses, obtain corresponding administrative licenses, complete tax registration and pay taxes according to law. "This kind of inter-provincial purchasing ‘ Online celebrity milk tea ’ If there is no relevant qualification, it can be considered as illegal business activities. "

Is folding screen a false proposition? Since Samsung launched its first folding screen mobile phone, the controversy surrounding this issue has not stopped. On the one hand, the new experience gained after expanding a larger screen is valuable, and on the other hand, it is the sacrifice in weight, price and reliability for folding the screen.

Today, the folding screen mobile phone has not yet ushered in a decisive breakthrough in these two aspects, but we can’t ignore the progress at the product level. Whether it is a lighter and thinner body, more and more mature technology and technology, or even continuous optimization of the system, the daily use experience of the folding screen mobile phone tends to be perfect.As the price of folding screen products continues to drop, the user threshold is also decreasing.

OPPO Find N2, produced by Lei Technology

In fact, different from the long-term debate between users, if we look at the actions of mobile phone manufacturers for a long time, we will see that mainstream smartphone manufacturers are pouring into this track in the past two years. Each company has launched its own folding screen products, and even more brands are preparing to enter, including Meizu and Yijia.It can be said that there are more folding screen mobile phones available for consumers to choose from in the market, and the range and speed of product update are also improving.

01. The folding screen becomes lighter and the market scale becomes heavier.

On March 23rd, Huawei held this year’s spring conference in Shanghai. At the conference, a package of new products was released, among which Huawei P60 series and Mate X3 folding screen mobile phones occupied the core position. Like most mobile phone manufacturers with folding screens, Huawei Mate X3 also takes thinness as the focus of its products. The plain leather version weighs 239g, and the non-plain leather version we actually measured is 246g.

At the press conference of Huawei’s 2022 annual report, Xu Zhijun, Huawei’s rotating chairman, said at that time: "Huawei’s latest folding screen mobile phone Mate X3 series has achieved the same weight as the ordinary straight board machine. 」

Not only Huawei, but OPPO Find N2 released at the end of last year directly reduced the weight of the fuselage to 233g (non-leather version of 239g) with a relatively small screen size, which is even lighter than the 240g iPhone 14 Pro Max. Manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Glory are also exploring how to make folding screen phones lighter and thinner; Even vivo and Samsung, which have different routes, are trying to make folding screen products thinner and lighter on the basis of giving priority to ensuring top-level configuration.

On the other hand, in addition to horizontally folding mobile phones, after Samsung Galaxy Flip and Huawei Pocket, OPPO also launched N2 Flip vertically folding mobile phones, and vivo X Flip will be officially released soon. They are all lighter and cheaper, so they account for a large part of the current sales of folding screen mobile phones.In last year’s article, we actually pointed out that the focus of folding screen mobile phone manufacturers at this stage will be inclined to the vertical folding direction.

Unlike the "lighter" folding screen mobile phones, the whole folding screen mobile phone market continues to "get heavier". According to the data provided by market research organization IDC, in 2022, China’s smartphone shipments fell by 13% year-on-year, reaching 286 million units, and returned to below 300 million units after ten years. At the same time, in 2022, the annual shipment of folding screen mobile phones in China increased by 118% year-on-year, approaching 3.3 million units, of which more than 1.1 million units were shipped in the fourth quarter.

In terms of market structure, Huawei firmly occupies the first position in the domestic folding screen market, with a market share of 47.4%; Samsung ranked second, accounting for 16.5% of the market; With the stable performance of Find N series throughout the year, OPPO gained 13.8% market share, ranking third.

However, according to the data of CINNO Research in January this year, the sales volume of OPPO folding screen mobile phones increased by 483% year-on-year, while Huawei folding screen mobile phones decreased by 33% year-on-year. Therefore, OPPO achieved the overtaking of Huawei in the domestic market with a 30% share.The overall pattern has also changed from "Huawei riding the dust" to "three pillars" of Huawei, OPPO and Samsung.

Figure /CINNO Research

Of course, this is largely because Find N2/N2 Flip was just released last December. However, it is still worth noting that compared with the sales volume and market share after the release of Find N last year, the performance of N2 series has been significantly improved.

02. "Folding" has been used recently, but "unfolding" still needs to be improved.

The development history of consumer electronics proves one thing-most people like big screens, otherwise Samsung Galaxy Note will not be an instant hit, iPhone 6 Plus will not become the best-selling iPhone in history, and TV screens will not enter the 100-inch field. The large screen of smart phones, after the full screen, touched the "ceiling" of human palms.

However, the demand of mobile phone users for larger screens has never changed. We want to browse the news while chatting. Want to play games while watching the raiders; I want to drag the text/picture/document directly to WeChat, and even write Word and PPT. More complex consumer demand and more scenes are forcing software and hardware to create better design and space. Small window function is the effort of pure software, and folding screen can bring more essential changes.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, filmed by Lei Technology

However, as a mobile device that can be used at any time, the characteristics of the mobile phone determine that the folding screen mobile phone is basically folded in the mobile scene, which requires the folding screen mobile phone to ensure the use experience under the external screen. As early as the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 evaluation, we talked about it.The further thinning of the fuselage, the alignment of the external screen with the conventional ratio, and the basic optimization at the system level all make the folding screen mobile phone more suitable for daily use.

In the evaluation of Huawei Mate X3, the positive effect of this strategy on daily use is also pointed out. But at the same time, it is also mentioned that "although users of folding screen mobile phones spend much more time using the external screen than the internal screen, only the internal screen can represent the brand-new experience that the folding screen mobile phone wants to bring." Only by expanding it can we enjoy the pleasure of information acquisition and interaction efficiency improvement. 」

Finally, it is decided whether the folding screen mobile phone is a flash in the pan, or whether it will become the "key" for mobile phone manufacturers to cut into the high-end market, or whether the users of the folding screen mobile phone will buy it. The deeper question behind it is whether the "folded" mobile phone can bring new value to users.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, figure/unpash

Did iPhone users regret it after Lei Technology spent 7999 yuan to buy a folding screen phone? Interview with a user who switched from iPhone to folding screen phone, she mentioned:

"The big screen of the folding screen mobile phone brings a more comfortable experience. For example, it can be operated on multiple screens, and an application can be presented on two screens, one for WeChat chat and the other for watching WeChat official account. You can also run different Applications in different screens on the big screen, such as WeChat and video app. Ordinary smart phones also have split screen function, but limited by the display area, it is very cramped to use. 」

Judging from our experience in using various folding screen mobile phones, the latest generation of folding screen mobile phones will not have much obstacles in daily use, and the price of thinness and continuous exploration will also provide more space for the popularization of folding screen mobile phones.

The biggest problem is the application ecology, especially the long-term absence of Android on the tablet. A large number of apps have not been adapted to large screens. Parallel horizon is a clever way. However, as we said in the evaluation of Mate X3, "Huawei Mate X3 has more like" two screens "than a complete internal screen. 」

Screenshot of mobile App

The two are still different after all. However, it is still worth looking forward to. As hardware sales continue to rise, software developers may be more aware of the value of folding screens and the potential for big screens to change the ecology of mobile applications.

03. Folding screen is the best opportunity to break the pattern of smart phones.

The more the market goes down, the more you can see the value of high-end products.According to the report released by industry research institute Counterpoint Research, under the background of the decline of smart phones last year, the sales of high-end mobile phones above $600 increased by 1% against the trend, and the proportion of total revenue in the entire smart phone market exceeded half for the first time, reaching 55%.

Among them, Apple monopolizes 75% of the high-end mobile phone market, and considering the price of iPhone, the proportion of revenue will only be higher.It can be said that Apple almost dominates the market of high-end mobile phones and gets most of the profits of the whole industry. Coupled with the long-term occupation of users’ minds in the high-end market, these have brought great challenges to the high-end of domestic mobile phones.

Of course, the more fundamental problem is that the peak of smart phones has passed, and the next market competition will be more of a zero-sum game. Under the premise that the scale of users will not break through again, the importance of high-end mobile phones will become more and more obvious. However, the software and hardware of conventional smart phones are so mature that it is difficult to form a differentiated competitive advantage, let alone break the existing high-end market structure.

From the history of consumer electronics, the best opportunity for all industries to change is with the emergence of new technologies or product nodes. "Bigger screen" was once one of the most distinctive keys at the beginning of the iPhone, and it was also the core driving force for the miracle of iPhone 6 and Galaxy Note, and it was also the battle of heroes in the era of full screen. It can be predicted that a larger screen will still be the key to the transformation of the mobile phone industry in the next stage.

As far as the eye can see, the folding screen that is mature enough is the best opportunity for smartphone manufacturers.

　　China Consumer News reported (Reporter Sun Yanming) Recently, according to the Food Safety Law, Certification and Accreditation Regulations and other laws and regulations, China Inspection Science and Technology Testing and Certification Co., Ltd. launched the certification of natural packaged drinking water for infants. The Implementation Rules for the Certification of Natural Packaging Drinking Water for Infants formulated by the certification body have been filed with the National Certification and Accreditation Administration, and applications for enterprise certification will be accepted nationwide from now on.

　　Le Fenpeng, vice-president of Beijing Packaging Drinking Water Industry Association, secretary-general of Standardization Committee of Beijing Baby Products Industry Association and the first drafter of the group standard of Natural Packaging Drinking Water for Infants, said in an interview with China Consumer News that at present, enterprises that produce packaged drinking water for infants rarely carry out the testing and certification of infant drinking water products, mainly according to the National Standard for Food Safety Packaging Drinking Water, and do not adopt special water standards suitable for infants’ physiological characteristics. Some infant drinking water production enterprises adopt enterprise standards. It is suggested that infant drinking water production enterprises should carry out comprehensive product testing, improve product quality by applying for infant natural packaging drinking water certification and formulating group standards or enterprise standards higher than national standards.

　　Implement voluntary certification

　　In recent years, with the improvement of living standards of Chinese residents, the healthy growth of infants and young children has received more attention. Some parents specially give their children packaged drinking water for the sake of their children’s health, and all kinds of packaged drinking water for infants have attracted the attention of many consumers once they are listed.

　　According to Le Fenpeng, product certification is divided into compulsory certification and voluntary certification. At the end of 1990s, China’s voluntary product certification started. After more than 20 years of development, it has accumulated rich experience and played an active role in improving product quality, guiding industry development and protecting consumers’ rights and interests.

　　Certification mark is a bridge to build trust between consumers and enterprises, and it is also a convenient way for consumers to identify food characteristics and make purchase decisions quickly, and it is also a commitment made by enterprises to consumers through third-party certification institutions.

　　China Inspection Science and Technology Testing and Certification Co., Ltd. adopts internationally accepted product certification technology, and conducts third-party certification and evaluation activities for products of infant natural packaged drinking water manufacturers according to the Standard for Infant Natural Packaged Drinking Water and related certification rules. Production enterprises can apply for voluntary product certification, and after passing the certification, they can obtain the certification mark and certificate of natural packaged drinking water for infants and young children. The certificate is valid for 3 years, and the products within the validity period can use the certification mark. Le Fenpeng pointed out that products that can pass the certification of natural packaged drinking water for infants and young children not only meet the national requirements in terms of production conditions, quality indicators, safety indicators and management control, but also need to supervise, inspect and test the certified products every year to ensure that the certified products continue to be qualified and the quality is more guaranteed.

　　Safety indicators are stricter.

　　"Infant drinking water safety not only affects the infant period, but also affects the health of infants throughout their lives. Therefore, the safety indicators of drinking water for infants and young children are stricter than those for adults. " Li Fuxing, director of Beijing Public Health Drinking Water Research Institute, said in an interview with China Consumer News that the infant period is the fastest and most vigorous stage of metabolism. In terms of unit weight, the cell liquid exchange rate of infants is 8 times that of adults, and the metabolic rate is 2 times that of adults. At the same time, the newborn’s kidney is not yet mature, and the ability to excrete solute and secrete antidiuretic hormone by pituitary is limited.

　　Le Fenpeng said that in 2003, the "Effects of Nutritional Minerals in Drinking Water on Infant Nutrition" issued by the World Health Organization proposed that drinking water sodium ≤ 20mg/L, sulfate ≤ 200mg/L。

　　China’s national standards for packaged drinking water include National Standards for Food Safety: Packaged Drinking Water and National Standards for Food Safety: Drinking Natural Mineral Water. In April, 2020, Beijing Packaging Drinking Water Industry Association issued the group standard "Infant Natural Packaging Drinking Water", which clearly stipulated the technical requirements, mining and processing requirements, inspection rules, labeling, packaging, transportation and storage requirements of infant natural packaging drinking water products, filling the gaps in domestic infant natural packaging drinking water standards.

　　Weng Yongsong, director of the Group Standards Committee of Beijing Packaging Drinking Water Industry Association, said in an interview with the reporter of China Consumer News that the standard has revised and adjusted the relevant indicators on the premise of meeting the National Food Safety Standard for Packaging Drinking Water. Among them, three boundary indicators were added, namely, total dissolved solids, pH value and sodium, which met the requirements of the national standard "Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water". Increase two microbial limit indicators, namely Streptococcus faecalis and Clostridium perfringens; Ten limit indicators were adjusted, including carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, oxygen consumption, lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury,
Anionic synthetic detergent, total α Radioactivity, total β Radioactivity index and limit indicators are better than the requirements of National Food Safety Standard for Packaged Drinking Water.

　　The market space is huge.

　　On March 1st, the reporter of China Consumer News saw on the shelf of wu mart packaged drinking water located in Yuetan South Street, Xicheng District, Beijing that there were three types of packaged drinking water for infants on the shelf, and the retail price of each type was more than twice that of ordinary packaged drinking water.

Weng Yongsong said that there are still few consumers of packaged drinking water for infants in China, and only nearly 50 water companies have relevant production qualifications.

　　The data of the seventh national census shows that China is 0-mdash; The total number of 3-year-old infants is 70 million, 0-mdash; The number of 6-year-old infants is 180 million, and the number of new births reaches 1750&mdash every year; Between 19.5 million. According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the birth population in China was 10.62 million. China’s huge infant population base has laid a solid customer base for the infant packaged drinking water market.

　　"At present, maternal and child water has been basically popularized in developed countries in Europe and America, but it is still in the primary stage of public cognition in China." Le Fenpeng said that in recent years, China’s maternal and child water market has developed strongly. In the future, with the improvement of public awareness, the market has great development potential.

　　Tip: You should look at key indicators when purchasing.

　　How do consumers choose packaged drinking water that meets the physiological characteristics of infants? In this regard, Li Fuxing said that consumers should carefully read the product labels, mainly focusing on key indicators, including sodium ions less than 20mg/L and total dissolved solids at 30-mdash; 100mg/L, pH 7-mdash; Between eight. In addition, it depends on the water source, and it is best to make a comprehensive and systematic scientific evaluation of the water source on the basis of general testing.

　　At present, there are a few illegal enterprises in the infant drinking water market that produce fake and shoddy products at will. For example, some packaged infant drinking water is made by adding baking soda tablets to pure water, and the sodium ion reaches more than 100 mg/L.

　　Le Fenpeng suggested that when consumers choose packaged drinking water for infants and young children, they should preferably obtain brands that meet the standard test report and certification of packaged drinking water for infants and young children, and boil the packaged drinking water for infants and young children before drinking it. It is not recommended to choose pure water because it contains almost no mineral elements.

　　By the end of July this year, the loan balance of small and micro enterprises nationwide was 40.83 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.62% compared with the beginning of the year & mdash; This is the transcript of financial services for small and micro enterprises this year. Small and micro enterprises are the main components of the market with over 100 million households in China, and they are also the capillaries of the market economy. However, in the past, banking financial institutions were reluctant to lend, afraid of lending and unwilling to lend to small and micro enterprises. In recent years, the relevant departments have introduced a series of differentiated policies from the aspects of credit supply, capital supervision, bad tolerance and due diligence exemption, so that banks can "dare to lend, be willing to lend, be able to lend and be willing to lend".

　　Growth rate and number of small and micro loans in Shuang Sheng

　　This year, the first batch of supply chain bills in China, the first standardized bill for private enterprises, and the Suzhou Experimental Zone for Digital Credit Investigation of Small and Micro Enterprises … … In Jiangsu province, where the number of small and medium-sized enterprises exceeds 3 million and accounts for more than 90% of the total number of enterprises, these financial innovations have continuously broadened the financing channels for small and medium-sized enterprises.

　　Guo Xinming, president of Nanjing Branch of China People’s Bank, said that through the long-term mechanism and capacity building of "dare to lend, be willing to lend, be able to lend", the related work has achieved remarkable results. At the end of July, the balance of local and foreign currency loans of financial institutions in the province was 15.1 trillion yuan, up 16.4% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 1.8 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year.

　　In Sichuan Province, there are more than 4.8 million individual industrial and commercial households, accounting for more than 70% of the market participants. The People’s Bank of China, together with the Market Supervision Bureau and the Private Office, launched the "Financial Manna" action plan for individual industrial and commercial households, focusing on individual industrial and commercial households without loans, and carried out the cultivation of first loan financing; Promote the improvement of financing level for individual industrial and commercial households with loans. By the end of July, the loan balance of individual industrial and commercial households in Sichuan was 284.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.8%, which was higher than the average growth rate of various loans. The number of new loan households is 58,000.

　　"Under the guidance of supervision and the joint support of various policies, banking financial institutions have continued to increase innovation, and the credit supply of small and micro enterprises has shown a rapid growth trend." Mao Hongjun, the first-level inspector of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission inclusive finance Department, said.

　　The data shows that as of the end of July this year, the loan balance of small and micro enterprises nationwide was 40.83 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.62% over the beginning of the year. Among them, the balance of Pratt & Whitney small and micro enterprise loans with a total credit of 10 million yuan or less per household was 13.91 trillion yuan, nearly doubling the balance compared with the beginning of 2018; Compared with the beginning of the year, the growth rate was 19.2%, which was 10.43 percentage points higher than the growth rate of various loans; The number of households with loan balance was 23,971,600, an increase of 2,852,300 compared with the beginning of the year, and the goal of "Shuang Sheng" in terms of growth rate and number of households was achieved in stages.

　　"Dare to lend and be willing to lend" adds endogenous motivation

　　In the past, small and micro enterprise loans often faced such problems. "Why are the grassroots institutions and personnel of banks reluctant to lend and unwilling to lend? Because it is not cost-effective, low performance or no performance. Why are you afraid of lending and afraid to lend? Because of the high non-performing rate and fear of accountability. Establishing and improving the mechanism of lending to small and micro enterprises is, in the final analysis, to solve the endogenous motivation problem of banks serving small and micro enterprises. " Mao Hongjun said.

　　In recent years, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission has issued a series of differentiated regulatory incentive policies and guiding measures in the aspects of capital, internal assessment, risk management and due diligence exemption, so as to solve the problems of reluctance to lend and fear of lending.

　　For example, the differentiation of funds, that is, by guiding the internal capital transfer pricing of commercial banks to give preferential loans to small and micro enterprises, solves the problem that small and micro loans at the grassroots level of banks are not cost-effective. At present, national commercial banks give loans to small and micro enterprises at least 50 basis points in the internal fund transfer pricing, and some banks’ preferential efforts have reached more than 100 basis points.

　　In terms of risk management differentiation, the regulatory policy has clearly stated that the non-performing rate of inclusive small and micro enterprise loans can be higher than the tolerance of non-performing rate of various loans within 3 percentage points. In view of this year’s epidemic situation, it is especially proposed that commercial banks can appropriately increase the tolerance of non-performing loans to branches in areas seriously affected by the epidemic situation.

　　"These differentiated guiding policies and requirements, we have specially set indicators for assessment, in order to supervise the ‘ Baton ’ Guide and urge banks ‘ Make up short board and forge long board ’ Continuously deepen the construction of institutional mechanisms. " Mao Hongjun said.

　　Strong service skills of "being able to lend and lending"

　　"Dare to lend, willing to lend" is mainly a mechanism problem, while "ability to lend, will lend" is more a problem of ability, which requires the professional service ability of banks.

　　Focus on solving the problem of "no loans". In Sichuan, the People’s Bank of China supported corporate institutions to replenish capital through multiple channels, eased the constraint of capital on credit growth, and used the central bank’s refinancing to increase banks’ low-cost loanable funds. At the end of August, the province’s refinancing balance increased by 63.2% year-on-year. From January to August, banks in the province put 232 credit products into the market, including 71 credit loan products.

　　Improve the professionalism of banking institutions’ "meeting loans". In Jiangsu, banking institutions actively carry out financial product innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and improve the financial service ability of "direct access to small and micro enterprises". By the end of July, 107 banking institutions in Jiangsu Province had lent 101.2 billion yuan to 105,000 small and medium-sized enterprises relying on 230 online financial products. At the same time, actively promote credit models such as "accounts receivable pledge financing", "micro-loan technology" and "credit factory" to help small and medium-sized enterprises "increase their credit coverage".

　　For talents, technology, products, information, etc., the regulators also actively promote the professional capacity building of banks. For example, in terms of technology, big data is used to help solve the bottleneck of "lack of information and lack of credit". Let banking financial institutions widely connect with information and data related to enterprises in the public sector, develop big data risk control models, conduct customer exploration, access and credit granting, and accurately "portrait" customers. On this basis, we will promote the "small micro-fast loan" model of online processing in the whole process and centralized approval of risk control in the background, effectively expanding the service coverage of small and micro enterprises.
