CCTV News:The National Bureau of Statistics released it on April 11th. In March, the national consumer price index CPI rose by 0.1% year-on-year. From 1— On average, in March, CPI was the same as that in the same period of last year.

From a year-on-year perspective, the national consumer price index CPI rose by 0.1% in March, down 0.6 percentage points from the previous month, mainly due to the fall in the prices of food and travel services. The core CPI excluding food and energy prices rose by 0.6% year-on-year, maintaining a moderate increase.

Zhang Xuewu, director of the Analysis and Forecasting Division of the Price Monitoring Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "Among the eight categories of goods and services that constitute CPI, except for the decline in food, transportation and communication prices, the prices of the other six categories have all increased year-on-year, indicating that the current low price operation is structural and phased, and the recovery of consumer demand has not changed."

In addition, in March, with the recovery of industrial production after the holiday, the supply of industrial products was relatively sufficient, and the national industrial producer’s ex-factory price index PPI decreased by 0.1% from the previous month, which was narrower than that of the previous month.

Zhang Xuewu said that in the later period, as China’s economy continues to pick up, the demand for goods and services continues to recover, and the impact of the "tail-up" is gradually weakening, it is expected that prices will pick up moderately.

The accumulated balance of the medical insurance fund is 3.4 trillion yuan, and the insured market is stable.

On the morning of April 11th, the National Medical Insurance Bureau held a regular press conference. The relevant person in charge introduced that in 2023, the total income of the basic medical insurance pooling fund was 2.7 trillion yuan, the total expenditure was 2.2 trillion yuan, and the accumulated balance was 3.4 trillion yuan. The number of participants reached 1.334 billion, the participation rate remained above 95%, and the participation market was stable.

Zhu Yongfeng, deputy director of the Planning, Finance and Regulation Department of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, said: "China’s insurance market is stable, the vast majority of residents have confidence in the basic medical insurance system, and the foundation of the system is solid. By the end of 2023, the number of people participating in basic medical insurance reached 1.334 billion. From the latest situation at the end of March 2024, the scale of residents’ medical insurance participation was basically the same as that of the same period in 2023, and there was no so-called ‘ Surrender tide ’ 。”

In 2023, there were 8.247 billion outpatient and inpatient settlements nationwide, a year-on-year increase of 27%. The scope of medical insurance was further expanded. In 2023 alone, 126 drugs were newly included in the medical insurance catalogue, and medical insurance services were more convenient. During the year, 130 million people were directly settled across provinces.

Long Xuewen, deputy director of the Medical Security Management Center of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, said: "This year, we will expand the scope of inter-provincial direct settlement of networked hospitals for outpatient chronic and special diseases and the scope of direct settlement of diseases, increase the audit of inter-provincial medical expenses of medical insurance agencies in different places, further standardize medical behavior in medical places, and prevent unreasonable medical treatment behavior in the process of medical treatment in different places."

The box office revenue of the national performance market in the first quarter increased by 116.87% year-on-year.

Then pay attention to the performance market. The reporter learned from the China Performance Industry Association that in the first quarter, there were 119,000 commercial performances (excluding entertainment venues) nationwide, with 38,869,900 people watching the performances, and the box office income was 10.8 billion yuan, an increase of 116.87% compared with 2023. The national performance market started well.

Goldman Sachs raised China’s economic growth forecast for the first quarter of this year to 5%.

On April 11th, Goldman Sachs Group, an international investment bank, pointed out in its latest research report that based on the strong performance of China’s manufacturing industry this year, Goldman Sachs raised the growth forecast of China’s economy in the first quarter of this year and the whole year of this year.

China Macroeconomic Research Team of Goldman Sachs Research Department believes that in the first two months of this year, China’s macroeconomic data was better than expected as a whole, and a number of recent data confirmed China’s economic resilience, especially the strong performance of manufacturing industry. Therefore, they raised the growth forecast of China’s economy in the first quarter of this year, and expected China’s economy to grow by 5% year-on-year.

Flash Hui, chief China economist of Goldman Sachs, said: "China’s industrial production data in February was higher than expected, and China’s actual export volume increased significantly in February and January. We saw official figures that the total export volume in February and January increased by 20% year-on-year, and the high-frequency data in March was basically stable."

Looking forward to the whole year of this year, the China Macroeconomic Research Team of Goldman Sachs Research Department believes that there is still room for the China government to exert its strength at the macro-policy level. When necessary, the innovation and coordination of policy tools such as fiscal policy and monetary policy can be strengthened to ensure the stable operation of the macro economy. Goldman Sachs raised China’s economic growth forecast for the whole year to 5% in its research report.

Flash Hui said: "We see that there is a certain reserve on the policy side. For example, if the ultra-long-term special national debt of one trillion yuan is issued, it will have a certain impact on the liquidity between banks. The central bank may use RRR cuts and other liquidity management methods to deal with it. Overall, due to the increase in economic growth in the first quarter, our annual figures (economic growth expectations) rose to 5.0%. "

Promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods in various fields.

The State Council Information Office held a policy briefing on April 11th, and relevant officials of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments introduced that specific implementation plans in various fields are being released and implemented around the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).

According to the specific objectives of the Action Plan, by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in the fields of industry, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism and medical care will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023; The recycling volume of scrapped cars has doubled compared with 2023, the trading volume of used cars has increased by 45% compared with 2023, and the recycling volume of used household appliances has increased by 30% compared with 2023. The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that there is huge market space for large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

Zhao Chenxi, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said: "According to estimates by relevant institutions, the annual demand for equipment investment and renewal in key areas such as industry and agriculture in China is more than 5 trillion yuan, and the demand for replacement of automobiles and household appliances is also above one trillion yuan. This action can not only promote consumption, stimulate investment, effectively enhance economic vitality, but also increase advanced production capacity, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, reduce security risks, and achieve high-quality development. "

It is understood that among the current equipment stock assets in the whole society, the industrial equipment stock assets are about 28 trillion yuan, accounting for over 70%, which is the focus of equipment renewal. On April 9, seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also released implementation plans to promote the upgrading of equipment in the industrial field.

Shan Zhongde, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "We will focus on key industries such as petrochemical, steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, machinery, automobiles, light industry, textiles and electronics, and comprehensively promote equipment renewal and technological transformation. By 2027, we will strive to achieve an increase of more than 25% in equipment investment in the industrial sector compared with 2023. "

In response to social concerns about financial support, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance responded that the central government will guide large-scale equipment renewal from four aspects. At the same time, adhere to the linkage between the central government and local governments to promote the trade-in of durable consumer goods such as automobiles and household appliances.

Fu Jinling, director of the Department of Economic Construction of the Ministry of Finance, said: "The central government has given priority support to promoting the trade-in of automobiles. Give fixed subsidies to consumers who scrap high-emission passenger cars or qualified new energy passenger cars and buy energy-saving or new energy vehicles. Encourage qualified places to co-ordinate the promotion of household appliances and other durable consumer goods, and ensure that ‘ Real money and silver ’ The policy of benefiting the people goes directly to consumers. "

The annual investment scale of equipment in China’s industrial field exceeds 4 trillion yuan, and the demand for renewal continues to grow.

It can be seen that the investment scale of equipment in the industrial field accounts for a relatively large proportion of equipment investment in the whole society. Which equipment is the focus of updating in the next step? What are the specific update directions? Let’s listen to the experts’ interpretation.

In 2023, the national industrial equipment investment scale reached 4.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.7%. According to industry experts, many machines and equipment in China rank first in the world. With the continuous advancement of new industrialization, the demand for equipment renewal will be increasing.

Zhang Li, president of China Electronic and Information Industry Development Research Institute, said: "We will promote industries where the overall production equipment such as industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, instruments and meters, construction machinery, light industry, textiles, etc. is at a low level, and eliminate a number of backward and inefficient equipment that has been in service for an extended period. For industries where aviation, photovoltaics, power batteries, biological fermentation and other production equipment are in the middle and high level as a whole, enterprises are encouraged to update a number of advanced equipment with high technology, high efficiency and high reliability, and continuously improve the production efficiency and technical level of the industry. "

According to experts, the large-scale equipment renewal and digital transformation in the industrial field is a major focus. Strive to achieve more than 90% penetration rate of digital R&D design tools for industrial enterprises above designated size and more than 75% numerical control rate of key processes by 2027.

Zhu Min, director of the Institute of Informatization and Industrialization Integration of China ICT Institute, said: "For some traditional industries, it is necessary to speed up the application of general intelligent manufacturing equipment such as CNC machine tools, industrial robots and intelligent detection, and realize quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency improvement in key production links; On the other hand, for some high-end and advantageous industries, we can accelerate the upgrading of advanced equipment such as intelligent complete sets of equipment and flexible production units, and comprehensively upgrade the entire manufacturing process. "

Chongqing: Shuangqiao successfully crossed chengdu-chongqing railway at the same turn.

Driven by the hydraulic traction system, the double-swing bridge across chengdu-chongqing railway on the No.1 road in Chongqing Fishing Mouth Area rotates in the counterclockwise direction synchronously, realizing the left swing of 90 degrees and the right swing of 88 degrees, accurately butting with the main bridge and successfully crossing chengdu-chongqing railway.

The No.1 road in Fishing Mouth Area spans both Dabin Road and chengdu-chongqing railway. The span bridge is 191 meters long and 34 meters wide, with six lanes in both directions, and the single bridge weighs more than 7,000 tons. It is reported that the bridge is constructed by turning, which can avoid the influence on the normal passage of 34 trains and freight trains in China and Europe every day. At the same time, when it is completed and opened to traffic, it will improve the traffic links between the Diaoyu Peninsula and other areas in Chongqing, greatly reduce the transit time and greatly improve the travel conditions of the residents in the area.

Qinghai: the vast Gobi is now a strange landscape of "colorful quicksand"

Recently, in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai, the reporter photographed the strange landscape of "colorful quicksand". Let’s follow the camera and have a look.

In the picture, the colorful gravel seems to be a palette of nature and dumped on the vast Gobi, embellishing the original monotonous yellow sand with colorful colors. It is understood that the formation of "colorful quicksand" is inseparable from the unique geological conditions of Saishiteng Mountain. The sandy stones in this Gobi are rich in various mineral components. After a long period of wind and rain erosion and sunshine exposure, they gradually show colorful colors. The long-term grinding of sand and sand not only shapes the unique shape of sand and stone, but also gathers them into a beautiful "quicksand sea", as if it were a flowing ink painting on the earth palette.

　　Entering the scene of the "Five Years of Striving" large-scale achievement exhibition, from politics, economy and culture to social, ecological civilization, diplomacy and other fields, ten exhibition areas and characteristic experience areas have comprehensively publicized and displayed the historic changes that have taken place in the cause of the party and the country since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and also deeply attracted the attention of everyone who watched the exhibition.

　　[Five-year series of reports that strive for progress]

　　Future Network (www.k618.cn), Beijing, October 12 (Reporter Xie Qing) "It’s really nice to see Beijing’s achievements exhibition in hosting the country for five years on TV." "Grandpa used to be a soldier. I really want him to have a look at the armament model on display." "The domestic students in the circle of friends are taking photos and calling for the motherland crazily!" Since the opening of the "Five Years of Striving" exhibition in Beijing Exhibition Hall at the end of September, it has attracted a large number of visitors, but people in other regions and even overseas have expressed their desire to see the exhibition in various ways.

　　In this regard, the reporter learned that in addition to on-site close visits, the "Five Years of Striving" large-scale achievement exhibition also specially built an online exhibition hall, using online 360 panoramic mode, voice-assisted explanation, and truly reproducing the contents of the physical exhibition, which can be accessed by computer, mobile phone and PAD.

　　The online exhibition hall displays the brilliant achievements of the Party since the 18th National Congress in a panoramic way by using various display means, such as pictures, texts, videos, objects, models, hot-spot interactions, extended reading, viewing messages and interactive experiences.

　　Really let people stay at home and visit the achievement exhibition, becoming a never-ending digital exhibition.

　　Grandpa "Military Fans" watched the exhibition online. Old party member wished the people a strong Thailand.

　　Entering the scene of the "Five Years of Striving" large-scale achievement exhibition, from politics, economy and culture to social, ecological civilization, diplomacy and other fields, ten exhibition areas and characteristic experience areas have comprehensively publicized and displayed the historic changes that have taken place in the cause of the party and the country since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and also deeply attracted the attention of everyone who watched the exhibition.

　　As a college student, Liu Yanyu is most interested in the exhibition area of China’s national defense and military development achievements. Armed models of the army, navy and air force, nuclear submarines, destroyers and various fighters, Liu Yanyu kept pressing the camera shutter to take pictures.

　　When studying in Beijing, Liu Yanyu can watch the exhibition at close range, but the photos taken are for his grandfather who is far away from his hometown in Northeast China. "Grandpa was a soldier when he was young. He is a military fan. He must be very interested in the achievements of our country’s current military development."

　　Originally, I wanted to show my grandpa photos when I returned to my hometown during the "Eleventh Holiday", but Liu Yanyu found a more convenient and intuitive way-the online exhibition hall of the "Five Years of Striving" large-scale achievement exhibition.

　　On the PC side, you can have a panoramic view of all areas of the exhibition by logging into the online exhibition hall (dlfj5.cctv.com) page of the "Five Years of Striving" large-scale achievement exhibition.

　　In the seventh exhibition area of the exhibition, "Realizing the goal of strengthening the army and building a world-class army", the armament models of China’s army, navy and air force are placed on the long booth of the regional center. After returning to his hometown in Northeast China, Liu Yanyu logged into the online exhibition hall through the computer, and while sliding the mouse to show his grandfather the interior of the venue, he acted as a commentator.

　　As a soldier and party member, Liu Yanyu’s grandfather watched and listened carefully with the mouse sliding. "Well, I can’t go to Beijing, and I can see it at home. The computer is powerful, and our country is even more powerful."

　　Overseas students watch the exhibition on the mobile side, and friends circle pushes and call.

　　With a flag on his face and a bright smile on his face, Li Jiaxin, who was studying in the United States, saw the photos of Beijing high school students visiting the "five years of hard work" large-scale achievement exhibition.

　　In addition to the photos, there is also a QR code, which Li Jiaxin discovered only after scanning. It turns out that you can enter the online exhibition hall at any time by clicking on the website: dlfj5.cctv.com or directly scanning the QR code through mobile phones, mobile phones, pads and other mobile terminals.

　　The online exhibition hall is exactly the same as the real exhibition hall. After clicking on the mobile phone, you can see that there are different exhibition areas at the bottom, and each exhibition is equipped with audio commentary. Exhibits such as "Jiaolong" and "Fuxing" are also equipped with in-depth materials such as pictures, texts, videos and three-dimensional models.

　　"It’s amazing for my country, and overseas students care for the motherland." Like domestic students, although studying thousands of miles away, Li Jiaxin visited the exhibition through the mobile phone. When sharing and forwarding it to a circle of friends, she wrote, "The motherland is strong and offers deep blessings to overseas students."

　　Blessing words speak out, and forwarding praise represents the mind. The reporter noticed that in the mobile phone page of the online exhibition hall of the "Five Years of Striving" large-scale achievement exhibition, netizens can offer peony, rose, carnation and other flowers, and leave comments at the same time.

　　"China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is precisely because of these changes that we have become more and more confident and love this country that has made us stand up!"

　　"Under the leadership of the Party, our country is getting richer and stronger, and our living standards are getting higher and higher. I wish our motherland prosperity."

　　"Five years of hard work and rapid development, I hope that the motherland will develop better and better and people’s lives will become more and more affluent."

　　"Looking forward to the 19th National Congress, summing up the results and exhibiting the future! The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be realized. I am proud of China and I am pride of chinese. "

　　… …

　　The reporter learned that up to now, the cumulative number of visitors to the large-scale achievement exhibition of "Five Years of Striving for Progress" has exceeded 400,000, and more than 20,000 netizens have left messages on the online exhibition hall to express their views.

"It’s gone up again!" The price of pure gold jewelry has been soaring, and now it is approaching the 720 yuan/gram mark, and its fierce rise has made many consumers call it "incomprehensible". Gold, which is rising by one price a day, is "persuading" consumers.

On April 6th, the topic "Big hoarders are busy realizing gold" rushed to Weibo for hot search, which aroused widespread concern.

One price one day

Large hoarders of gold have realized in succession.

International gold prices soared again on Friday, with spot gold prices rising 1.5% to $2,324.15 per ounce, hitting a record high of $2,330.06 in intraday trading.

Although the data released on the same day showed that the non-farm employment growth in the United States was strong in March, which further cooled the market’s bet on the probability of the Fed’s interest rate cut in June, the price of gold obviously did not suffer too much negative impact. After a short correction, it rose all the way, and it stood at the $2,300 mark for the first time in history.

In the past 10 days, the price of gold has risen in 9 days, and it has risen in 6 weeks in the past 7 weeks.

Gold prices have soared in the international market, and domestic basic gold prices have also reached a high level. The retail price of many domestic brands of gold jewelry is also close to 720 yuan per gram.

On April 7th, the retail listing price of gold jewelry in Zhou Shengsheng has soared to 719 yuan/gram, while Chow Tai Fook and Chaohongji were 718 yuan/gram and 718 yuan/gram respectively, both of which increased by 15 yuan compared with 703 yuan/gram on the 3rd.

According to CCTV financial report, many gold jewelry wholesalers have gathered in Zhaoyuan, Shandong recently. In terminal stores, buyers are particularly cautious about buying gold jewelry. In terms of choosing styles, buyers have changed their choice from traditional crafts to fashionable jewelry with national tide culture as the element. In some offline gold jewelry stores, enameled gold jewelry with exquisite craftsmanship and colorful colors has also won the favor of consumers.

With the rising price of gold, the repurchase of offline large quantities of gold raw materials has become the "highlight", and many "big hoarders" have chosen to sell at the high price of gold. While the online repurchase of gold raw materials is hot, many gold shops have also opened online repurchase models.

The person in charge of an online gold repurchase business said, "We allow consumers to realize the rapid realization of gold by means of subsidizing the issuance of coupons, free mailing, and preferential handling fees, among which the maximum online gold recovery in a single day reached more than 3,000 grams."

According to the first financial report, consumers’ enthusiasm for buying gold has declined recently. During the Qingming small holiday, the brand gold shops in several shopping malls in Shanghai only had customers in twos and threes, and some gold ornaments counters were also empty. After the inquiry, only a few consumers who were looking at accessories in the store said that the price was too high, "It’s too boring to buy now."

The "buying gold fever" continued, and some bank gold bars were out of stock. According to Red Star News, on April 4th, the staff of Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street Sub-branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China said that the shortage of gold bars had been going on for about a month, and now it was necessary to make an appointment to buy them.

Gold recycling enthusiasm is high.

Investment should not blindly follow suit

Gold investment has always been regarded as a relatively stable way of wealth appreciation. The huge fluctuation of the price of gold has also led to a rise in the volume and price of gold recovery. According to Chengdu Daily, a gold shop clerk said that after this round of price increase, the consulting volume and recycling volume increased significantly, and many investors hoped to cash in when the price of gold rose.

However, compared with the soaring price of gold ornaments, the price difference of gold recycling is large. Take Chow Tai Fook as an example. At present, the gold recovery price is 524 yuan/gram, which is 194 yuan per gram compared with the price of 718 yuan/gram. Even according to the discounted price, there is a price difference of 145 yuan per gram. If a customer buys a 50-gram bracelet and chooses to sell it, it will lose more than 7000 yuan.

According to industry insiders, for ordinary consumers, gold jewelry consumption and gold investment are completely different.

Investors should first understand the price of gold. Generally speaking, the listed gold price of a gold shop can be divided into jewelry gold, investment gold and recovery gold. Different brands have different gram prices of jewelry gold, but jewelry gold is often the highest gram price. The price of investment gold bars is relatively low. If you want to invest in gold, you need to have basic relevant knowledge and fully understand the precious metal market before you can enter the market.

Therefore, although gold consumption is hot, it is not advisable to blindly hoard goods and follow the trend of "buying gold".

For the market outlook, the China Gold Association said that the resilience of gold prices reflects to some extent investors’ expectations that the Fed will eventually cut interest rates this year. In addition, the increasing geopolitical uncertainty has also enhanced the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven asset. Finally, the steady buying of gold by global official departments so far this year has provided solid support for the reserve price of gold. "After entering the second half of 2024, once the Fed starts to cut interest rates and releases the signal that it will further accelerate the pace of monetary easing in 2025, the price of gold is expected to regain its upward trend." China Gold Association said.

　　[magnificent 70-year struggle new era]

　　There is an unusual yard beside a small road in Ma Po Ridge, east of Changsha City, Hunan Province — — Hunan hybrid rice research center. The yard is small, and it is only a few minutes’ walk from the office building to the laboratory and then to the exhibition hall. For more than 30 years, this yard has been a "holy land" for hybrid rice research in China.

　　Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, established in 1984, is the first professional research institution of hybrid rice at home and abroad. Several star varieties and breeding materials of hybrid rice were born here, reaching the highest level in the world in the research of super hybrid rice. Hybrid rice technology with completely independent intellectual property rights has made great contributions to food security in China and even the world.

　　Scientific and technological innovation is fruitful.

　　Since the research of hybrid rice was initiated in Hunan in 1964, the scientific and technological workers of rice seed industry, represented by Yuan Longping, have made unremitting efforts, and the research of hybrid rice has continuously made breakthroughs, realizing three major technological innovations from three lines to two lines and then to super hybrid rice.

　　— — In 1964, Yuan Longping discovered a "natural male sterile plant" in Dongting early indica rice field. In 1966, Yuan Longping published his first paper "Male Infertility of Rice" in the 4th issue of Volume 17 of Science Bulletin. In 1973, three lines of indica hybrid rice in China were successfully matched.

　　— — In 1987, Yuan Longping put forward in his paper "Strategic Assumption of Hybrid Rice Breeding" that hybrid rice breeding should be divided into three development stages: three-line method, two-line method and one-line method, and three development stages from the utilization of heterosis level: the utilization of heterosis among varieties, subspecies and distant heterosis, that is, the breeding program is developing from complexity to simplicity with higher efficiency, and the utilization of heterosis is developing in a stronger direction. In 1995, the research of two-line hybrid rice made a breakthrough, which can be widely popularized in production.

　　— — In 1996, the Ministry of Agriculture of China initiated the China Super Rice Breeding Program. In 2017, the average yield per mu of super rice variety "Xiangliangyou 900" in Hebei Province was 1,149.02 kg, setting a record for rice yield per unit area in the world.

　　Nowadays, the third-generation hybrid rice breeding technology has the advantages of stable fertility of "three-line method" and free combination of "two-line method", which makes China continue to maintain its leading position in the field of hybrid rice research.

　　The data show that in recent years, the planting area of hybrid rice in China is 17 million hectares, accounting for more than 50% of the total rice area in China; The average yield of rice in China is about 6.4 tons per hectare, including 7.5 tons of hybrid rice per hectare. Yuan Longping said that the yield of hybrid rice is about 20% higher than that of conventional rice, and the increased grain can feed 70 million people every year.

　　Hybrid rice "takes root and blooms" in many countries

　　"I am very happy to help other developing countries develop hybrid rice to solve the problem of food shortage. I firmly believe that through joint efforts, my dream will come true in the near future. " At the end of June this year, the first China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo was held in Changsha, Hunan Province. Academician Yuan Longping, who was nearly ninety years old, delivered a speech in English at the China-Africa Agricultural Cooperation and Development Seminar and instantly became popular on the Internet.

　　Hybrid rice went abroad in 1979. At that time, the Ministry of Agriculture presented 1.5 kilograms of hybrid rice seeds to the American Western Oil Company. After these seeds are planted in the United States, the yield is more than 33% higher than that of local improved varieties. Next, the technical cooperation of hybrid rice between China and the United States continues to this day.

　　Academician Yuan Longping, who was invited to the United States for five times to teach technology, still remembers that due to the obvious increase in hybrid rice production in the United States, the American Western Oil Company made a special trip to China in 1981 to shoot a documentary "In the Garden of People’s Republic of China (PRC) — — The Story of Hybrid Rice in China, which was not only shown in the United States, but also broadcast nationwide by Japanese TV stations, caused a sensation.

　　"The American rice technology company that cooperates with us pays the technology transfer fee to the research center every year. This year, the planting area of hybrid rice in the United States has increased again, accounting for 60% of the total planting area of rice in the United States. " Academician Yuan Longping said.

　　In the past 40 years, the teaching scope of hybrid rice technology has been expanding. Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center and Yuan Longping Agricultural High-tech Co., Ltd. have held nearly 100 international training courses on hybrid rice, and trained more than 10,000 technicians for about 80 developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Hybrid rice technology has taken root and blossomed in many countries.

　　"Today, the planting area of hybrid rice abroad is 7 million hectares, and India has the largest planting area of more than 2 million hectares." Academician Yuan Longping said that hybrid rice not only solved the problem of eating in Chinese, but also benefited the whole world.

　　Meet the challenge and continue to tackle key problems

　　In recent years, Academician Yuan Longping, who calls himself "the post-90s generation", led the Chinese rice research team to start the research on salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant rice breeding technology, and achieved initial results.

　　It is reported that more than 6% of the world’s existing land area is endangered by salinity. Among the arable land, 19.5% of paddy fields and 2.1% of dry land have been harmed by saline-alkali. In Southeast Asian countries, millions of hectares of land suitable for rice cultivation are abandoned due to salinization every year. 15% of paddy fields in China are affected by different degrees of salt damage. Affected by climate change, sea level rise, unreasonable irrigation and drainage system, and bottom rocks rich in harmful salt, the global salinized land area is still expanding.

　　"Starting the research on sea rice and popularizing rice cultivation technology in saline-alkali land is very important for realizing China’s ‘ Storing grain in the ground and storing grain in technology ’ , ensure that ‘ China’s rice bowl must be in his own hands ’ The strategic goals are of great significance. China has 1.5 billion mu of saline-alkali land, of which about 200 million mu has the conditions to grow sea rice. Taking hybrid sea rice research as one of the important directions of our future hybrid rice research will not only increase the planting area of hybrid rice in China, but also solve the problem of rice harvest loss caused by seawater intrusion in Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries. " Bai Lianyang, secretary of the Party Committee of Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said. (Reporter Long Jun)

CCTV News:Over the past few days, all parts of China have strictly implemented various epidemic prevention and control measures to curb the spread of the epidemic.

Coca-Cola Company said that the advertisement had been taken down on the same day.

　　Netizens accused Coca-Cola of advertising support for "Tibet independence"

　　On April 9th, the Guardian reported in a report entitled "China netizens claim that Coca-Cola supports Tibetans" that the advertisement of the Coca-Cola Company with Tibetans was criticized by netizens in China. A netizen said that an advertisement of Coca-Cola involved supporting "Tibet independence", which triggered a boycott of the brand by some China nationalists.

　　The report said that a poster was posted in a railway station in Germany: a group of monks were riding a roller coaster, and the picture was supplemented by the slogan "make it real". According to the report, this picture aroused the anger of a China netizen who emigrated overseas. He posted the photo on the famous Tianya website in China. On the internet, he wrote: "Germany began to appear advertisements supporting Tibet independence. Coca cola! Ok, I remember. Never get your hands on this damn product again. " Then, he commented: "Three monks represent the Tibetan Lama, and riding a roller coaster symbolizes freedom. Make it real’ means’ realizing freedom’. "

　　According to the report, some people think that this netizen’s comments are far-fetched, but more people expressed their support for this netizen who posted the photos, and they vowed to stop drinking Coca-Cola.

　　On the evening of the 8th, a spokesman for Coca-Cola Company said that the company regretted any emotional injury caused by the monk image featured in an old poster in 2003.

1905 movie network news　One week after its release, the box office approached 200 million yuan, which drew a perfect ending for Conan’s films in Heisei era and set a new benchmark for Conan’s theatrical version of the mainland box office. The popularity of the film in the mainland film market is still going on, and the topic has been fermenting. Fans have been discussing from the latest theatrical version until they talk about "how old Conan is" and "Conan’s cold knowledge of solving crimes". When every theatrical version is released, it will trigger a collective carnival of Conan fans, and this time, the carnival still can’t end for a long time.

　

There is no case that he can’t solve! "Conan took me to increase my knowledge"

　

In addition to the return of the handsome Kidd in Detective Conan: The Boxing of the Qing Dynasty, the sweet and abusive feelings of a new Xiaolan, and the big scene of blowing up Singapore, many viewers have revisited Conan’s crime-solving genius after watching this film. In this film, Conan once again identifies the innocent villain from the tiny details at the critical moment. Many fans began to sum up Conan’s solved cases and all kinds of cold knowledge involved in the process of solving them, such as "the surgeon has an oblique mark on his finger, because the surgeon usually ties a thin thread with the forefinger of both hands during the operation, so the oblique mark will be left at the front end of the forefinger" and "the tannic acid contained in black tea will clean the wound now, so as to neutralize the toxin, which is the best emergency when bitten by sea snakes. …

　

Detective Conan’s solving process is varied. Conan not only knows physical chemistry, but also is proficient in criminal psychology and literal logic. No wonder many fans say "follow Conan to gain knowledge" and "I want to make up Conan’s note-taking knowledge again!"

　

How old is Conan? "He is our eternal youth"

　

Someone asked this question in Weibo, "Conan premiered in 1996. How old is this mysterious pupil this year?" Someone analyzed it very seriously: "If Shinichi was 17 years old in 1996, now he is a 40-year-old uncle in 2019! According to Conan’s age, it should be 30! "

　

Some fans are unwilling to think rationally about Conan’s age: "How old is Conan? This depends on what you think in your heart! Wukong of Dragon Ball, Nobita of Doraemon and Conan, they have been living in their own spatial latitude, and there is no need to calculate according to our world! No need, my answer: forever January 8, 1996! "

　

But there are more fans who agree with the saying, "Conan will always be a first-grade pupil in my heart!" So no matter how old he is, he is my childhood, like my friend, so he is as old as I am in my heart! "

　

Recently, someone wrote in a film review, "In 1998, I first met Conan from TV. At that time, I was 10 years old and Conan was 7 years old; Now, Detective Conan has aired 1000 episodes and shown 23 theatrical editions. I am over 30 years old and Conan is still 7 years old. I hope Conan will never grow up, and he will always be a detective boy who hides behind a voice changer to solve crimes. Looking at him, it seems that my youth will never leave.

　

Indeed, the famous detective Conan series has accompanied us for more than 20 years and gathered too many fans all over the world. Every year, a new theatrical film has become a festival agreed by fans. The 23rd theatrical film Detective Conan: Boxing of the Qing Dynasty is still being shown in China, so fans in China, accompanied by this film, expect that Conan will continue to explore the truth in the adult world with us in the age of peace.

When I was in college, I had a soft spot for the pet industry. Although I didn’t work in this industry, I still felt that the pet industry had an immeasurable market. The author made a product analysis of the pet-related APP, and this article focused on the understanding and rough analysis of the pet industry.

Recently, I am waiting for new job opportunities, and I have made a shallow analysis of pet-related apps in my spare time. After all, this is an industry that I have been optimistic about since I was in college.

On the one hand, I want to get more job opportunities through my own articles, and on the other hand, I want to communicate with my colleagues. I haven’t worked for a long time, and please correct me if there are any shortcomings in the article (guiding opinions, don’t disturb the bar).

According to the survey statistics of the white paper on the pet industry in China from 2017 to 2019, the number of dogs and cats in cities and towns nationwide reached 99.15 million in 2019, an increase of 8.4% compared with 91.49 million last year, as shown in Figure 1-1; Among them, the number of pet dogs was 55.03 million, an increase of 8.2% over last year; The number of pet cats was 44.12 million, an increase of 8.6% compared with last year.

Figure 11 Number and growth rate of dogs and cats in China Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China.

With the increase in the number of pets such as cats and dogs, the market scale of the pet industry is also expanding rapidly. In 2019, the consumption market scale of urban pet dogs and cats in China reached 202.4 billion yuan, an increase of 18.5% compared with last year, as shown in Figure 1-2. Among them, the consumption market for pet dogs was 124.4 billion yuan, up 17.8% year-on-year, and the consumption market for pet cats was 78 billion yuan, up 19.6% year-on-year.

Figure 12 National Pet Market Scale and Growth Rate Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China.

In the consumption scale of pet market, snacks in pet products and medicines in pet medical care account for the vast proportion and the fastest growth rate. For the purchase of this just-needed commodity, the penetration rate of snacks and medicines is over 70%.

In addition, pet toys and dry food in pet products are also a big expenditure, and the penetration rate of health care products in pet medical care still has a great room for improvement.

Compared with the just-needed consumption, the service consumption is relatively low frequency, and the pet beauty penetration rate is the highest, followed by foster care and pet paradise; However, pet insurance, training, funeral and other consumption are in the "embryonic" stage of the market.

Figure 13 ranking of consumption penetration rate of various types of pets Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China

Based on the statistical results of the pet market in recent years, it is found that the scale of China’s pet market grew almost linearly from 2010 to 2019, as shown in Figure 1-2. According to the average growth rate (20.0) from 2016 to 2019, the consumption scale of China’s pet market is expected to reach 239.8 billion yuan in 2020, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 14 Forecast of the scale and growth rate of the national pet market in 2020.

• In 2020, the number of pet cats and dogs in China will exceed 100 million;
• Every year, the consumption scale of pet market grows steadily, with an average expansion of 5;
• The expansion of the market scale has promoted the rise of pet-type platforms, and it has become an inevitable trend to buy pet necessities online. In addition, it has also promoted the development of new industries such as pet medical treatment, pet grooming, pet foster care, pet training, pet photography, pet insurance and pet funeral.

Figure 21 Regional Distribution of Pet Raising Source: White Paper on Pet Industry in China in 2018

As shown in the above figure, the top six cities in the prosperity of pet cities in China are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chengdu and Shenzhen.

It can be seen that first-tier cities or quasi-first-tier cities are gathering places for pets. Because these cities are the main inflow places of most migrant workers, the distribution of pets is directly or indirectly related to the overall consumption level, population mobility and educational level of the population.

Fig. 22 Age distribution of pet owners

From the above picture, we can see that the post-80s and post-90s are the main force of keeping pets, which shows that keeping pets is gradually becoming younger. Before 70s, most retired people keep pets as companions, while the post-70s prediction may be due to the lack of energy to support the elderly and children to keep another pet.

Fig. 23 Distribution of pet master education

In terms of education, pet owners are mainly undergraduate, followed by junior college, high school and below, and finally master and above. It can be seen that pet owners are gradually approaching high education.

Fig. 24 Distribution of sex, income and marriage of pet owners

In terms of the gender, income and marriage distribution of pet owners, the proportion of female pets is much higher than that of male pets; From the perspective of income, 50.4% of pets earn more than 4,000 yuan, of which more than 20% earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. While pet owners are gradually becoming popular, they are also becoming more and more high-income. As for the marital status of pet owners, single people account for a relatively large proportion, accounting for 32.5%, followed by married families with children, accounting for 28.5%, while married people without children and people in love account for a relatively small proportion.

Through the analysis of the geographical distribution of users and the attributes of users, the user portrait of pet owners is finally obtained.

Divide pet owners into three different groups and substitute them into detailed user scenarios. It is concluded that pet owners are basically for companionship, and they all regard them as their relatives or even children. Because of this, pet owners will take extra care of their pets and are willing to spend time and money to accompany them.

Through the analysis of the current market and users, the pet industry has a very bright prospect and form, so there are many mobile phone apps in generate to cope with the development of the market. Although these mobile apps are all in the pet industry, they are involved in different aspects.

Select 68 pet-related apps from Huawei APP Store, analyze and classify them, as shown in Figure 3-1 below.

Through the introduction and simple trial of these apps, these pet apps can be roughly divided into the following types: pet health, one-stop service, pet mall, door-to-door service, pet breeding, pet socialization, family foster care, pet trading, consultation and sharing, pet news, pet consignment, dog training service, B-end service, intelligent hardware, pet adoption and pet media dating.

Fig. 31 Various types of pet apps

Each type of APP has different emphasis and brings different commercial output value, so the number of similar products of each type of APP is also different. detailed

The number of detailed products of various types is shown in Figure 3-2, and its ranking (as shown in Figure 3-3) is pet mall, pet trading, one-stop service, pet socialization, pet health, intelligent hardware, B-end service, consultation and sharing, pet foster care, pet adoption, pet media dating, door-to-door service, pet breeding, pet consignment and dog training service.

Fig. 32 Schematic diagram of 68 pet-related apps

Figure 33 Quantity of 68 APP Types

It can be seen that the type of service that directly conducts online transactions with users is the main positioning of companies for their products, but there are many vertical apps that are avoiding group competition and adopting another way to emerge suddenly.

Figure 34 Percentage of downloads of 68 apps

As can be seen from the above figure, most of the downloads of these 68 softwares are not optimistic, accounting for 61.77% of the downloads less than 10,000, and only 7.35% of the downloads more than 500,000, which is not proportional to the number of pet owners. It can be seen that it is far from reaching a stable period in the use of pet mobile terminals.

On the contrary, there is a great market and space to be tapped, and it is in a stage of rapid development.

Select a typical APP from each type of APP as a representative, make a detailed analysis, and finally explore its commercial level from the user level, product level and operation level of the product.

3.3.1 Pet Health-Pet Doctor

1) reasons for choosing

The pet doctor APP focuses on "online consultation of pet doctors". Although its download volume is not the highest in this type, it is more professional than other pet health apps. Everyone’s pet community APP with a relatively high download volume is carried out in the mode of "community+health", and its latest updated version was in October 2017, so the pet doctor APP was chosen as the representative of the pet health type.

2) Business model

Fig. 35 Canvas of AP business model of pet doctor

This product is a platform for online consultation of pets, which attracts a large number of pet owners to consult about their pets’ diseases by attracting pet doctors from various pet hospitals across the country. When users have consultation needs, they can get points directly through WeChat or Alipay payment, and then choose a doctor they like for consultation.

3) Product function

A. Information architecture

Fig. 36 information architecture of pet doctor APP

The overall information architecture is relatively restrained, and there are not too many complicated functions. The positioning of the four modules is accurate and there is not too much interference information. It is basically based on the core value of the product, "online consultation for pet doctors", and two exciting demand application functions-disease self-examination and maintenance manual are embedded.

B. Process logic

Fig. 37 page flow chart of pet doctor

Users can choose their favorite doctors from the pet doctors recommended on the home page, or they can view a detailed list of doctors in the "Find Doctors" module in the bottom navigation bar. Before consultation, you need to confirm whether the consultation points are sufficient, and you can communicate with the doctor if the points are sufficient.

There are three ways to find a nearby pet hospital. The first way is to look at the hospital recommended on the homepage, the second way is to click "Looking for a Hospital" in the bottom navigation bar, and the third way is to look at the hospital where you have entered the details of a pet doctor.

4) Operation strategy

A. Operating mode

Figure 38 Operation mode

At present, the product operates with coupons and integral mall, as shown above.

In terms of user growth, every user invited to register will receive 200 points. It is suggested to add a function of sharing to get points. Another one can increase the membership system, invite a user to register and get a 30-day free membership, and the member enjoys unique membership rights (medical treatment by stages, consultation discount, etc.).

It is suggested that new users can get a free consultation opportunity after registering, so as to experience the whole online consultation process for themselves. The specific process can be that after registering and logging in, the user can make a selection lottery (consultation coupon/fixed hospital designated doctor consultation) to get consultation discount.

B. Version iteration

Figure 39 iteration of pet doctor APP version

Doctor Ai Chong APP was created by Shanghai Chong Ling Network Technology Co., Ltd., which was registered on June 15, 2015 with a registered capital of RMB 163,776 million. As can be seen from Figure 3-9 above, the first version of Doctor Ai Chong APP was launched on August 19, 2015, so this product is the first product promoted by this company. According to the frequent version iterations since then, it can be seen that this is also a main product.

After improving the doctor’s online consultation service, this product gradually increases other exciting needs (symptom self-examination function, etc.), and slowly develops online and offline services (hospital treatment by stages, etc.). In this case, the product wants to specialize in pet medical care, strive to be in-depth and professional, and take the development goal of large-scale pet medical care.

It is predicted that the business with offline hospitals may increase in the future, such as listing what services a pet hospital can provide to pets, and users can place orders at the terminal themselves and then go to the store to serve; Continue to improve the online consultation with the pet doctor, you can collect the pet doctor to give an in-depth explanation (article form/video form) on a pet’s disease, and then the user can read and download the video or article by using the form of point redemption.

5) Summary

As a professional online pet consultation APP, the core of pet doctor is to meet the needs of pet owners and resident pet doctors for paid consultation, but the operation mode of this business needs to be strengthened, such as doctors’ professionalism (qualifications, expertise, certificates, etc.), discounts for new users, and strengthening the business line of offline hospital stores (medical appointments, etc.).

4) Operation strategy

A. Operating mode

• Membership system: there are two levels of membership system for Pochi pets, one is magic card, and the other is magic black card. Magic card enjoys four major rights and interests of members: membership price, fixed discount, exclusive shopping festival and birthday privilege, while magic black card enjoys ten major rights and interests of members: membership price (which will be more favorable than magic card, and there are very few cases with the same price), fixed discount, exclusive shopping festival, birthday privilege, wave beans (200 per month), over 15 packages of postage, gift sharing coupons, exclusive customer service and pre-sale.
• Coupons: exclusive for newcomers, full reduction, and redemption codes for coupons.
• Evaluation cashback: users get the corresponding income by writing articles about testing goods, and users who become experts in evaluation will get higher income. In addition, users who join magic cards or magic black cards will get 1~2% higher cashback of evaluation income than ordinary users.
• Inviting friends: After successful registration, the invited friends will get the 270 yuan Newcomer Gift Package, and at the same time, they will get 15% of the actual amount paid by their friends as a bonus. The amount of the bonus can be withdrawn when it exceeds that of 10 yuan, and the accumulated amount exceeds that of 100 yuan convertible goods.
• Virtual game: magic forest, the exclusive value-added benefits of members of magic black card, and the extra gains that magic black card users can get by recharging their cards (real-time recharging) during the validity period of rights and interests. The harvest result is Poqi beans, which can be used in Poqi Mall. Magic planet, after users enter the activity, they will get magic seeds to upgrade and grow by watering energy.

You can get an extra piece of Jin Yezi when you complete the task of inviting five new users, and you can redeem two prizes.

B. Version iteration

Figure 317 iteration of Boqi pet APP version

According to APPannie, Boqi Pet App was first released on July 11th, 2018, and updated with a new version every week on average. As can be seen from Figure 3-17 above, while consolidating the mall business, Boqi Pet has not slackened off its community business at all, which shows that Boqi Pet wants to develop in a coordinated way in terms of weak social interaction and strong business.

Of course, the rapid development of Boqi pet is inseparable from its social efforts, and the company’s influence is enhanced by increasing cumulative users, thus increasing revenue.

Therefore, it can be predicted that Pochi can also strengthen related businesses:

C. Pay attention to private chat

By adding private chat function, the interaction between users can be improved.

D. Strengthen the private customization of black card members

At present, in addition to the benefits of ordinary commodity concessions, the private subscription enjoyed by black cards also has exclusive customer service. If you upgrade to black card butler service on this basis, you can increase the desire of users to recharge black cards. The service content can include professional evaluation of users’ pets, designation of diet plan, medical plan, birth plan, exercise plan, pet dynamic popularity and so on.

E. live broadcast

By increasing the live broadcast function, the number of user downloads is increased, the interaction between users is improved, and the user stickiness is improved.

F. Offline community activities

Pet exhibitions, pet public welfare activities, pet games and other forms enhance the pet community and enhance the brand of Boqi pets.

G. Other short video platforms

By creating official accounts of short videos such as Tik Tok, Watermelon, Aauto Quicker, etc., they can be used as content distribution channels for internal production of products, share short videos with pets as content, and promote user traffic acquisition of products.
