Cross-border e-commerce: bringing China closer to the world.

The "Several Policies and Measures on Promoting the Stable Growth of Foreign Trade" issued by the Ministry of Commerce recently proposed to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce. The status and importance of cross-border e-commerce does not stop there. At present, it has been included as a new clause in some newly signed and escalating bilateral free trade agreements.

In recent years, new foreign trade formats and new modes have emerged in China, especially cross-border e-commerce, which has become a "new engine" to stimulate foreign trade growth with its rapid development. Relying on strong supply capacity, faster customs clearance efficiency and more cost-effective customized services, cross-border e-commerce is promoting more China products to link to the global market. Cross-border packages smoothly shuttle between more countries and regions, bringing China closer to the world.

"New clause" of FTA

Data show that in the first three quarters of this year, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China increased by 11.5% year-on-year, accounting for nearly 6% of China’s foreign trade. As a new format and model in the field of foreign trade, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce is a pragmatic achievement of China’s continuous expansion of high-level opening-up and promotion of bilateral and multilateral economic and trade cooperation.

On November 14th, China and Peru signed a protocol to upgrade the FTA, adding five chapters to the original FTA, including e-commerce. On August 22nd, the joint communique between China and the Belarusian government pointed out that the two sides will strengthen cooperation in the field of e-commerce and encourage Belarusian enterprises to enter the major e-commerce platforms in China … Recently, the newly signed bilateral free trade agreement or the upgraded free trade agreement has included cross-border e-commerce as a new clause, which has injected momentum into the development of cross-border e-commerce between China and its free trade partners.

"The inclusion of cross-border e-commerce as a new clause in the bilateral free trade agreement has released a new signal that China attaches great importance to the role of cross-border e-commerce in international trade and regards it as an important tool to promote trade liberalization and facilitation." Hong Yong, a think tank expert of China Digital and Real Integration 50 Forum, told the International Business Daily reporter.

"This is a very positive signal." Wang Chunming, executive director and general manager of Harbin Fuhuo International Supply Chain Co., Ltd., told the International Business Daily that the inclusion of cross-border e-commerce in the terms of the bilateral free trade agreement not only simplifies the trade process of enterprises, reduces the barriers to cross-border transactions of enterprises, but also deepens the cooperation between enterprises and other countries in e-commerce. "On the other hand, this move also shows that while promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade, China has taken the digital economy and cross-border e-commerce as a key link in its future development, which is bound to promote more enterprises to participate in the international market."

In Hong Yong’s view, this move also reflects China’s determination to play a more active role in global digital economic governance and trade rule-making. "China has always been committed to jointly formulating rules through international cooperation to promote the healthy and orderly development of cross-border e-commerce."

Cross-border e-commerce "acceleration"

"Our e-commerce sales have nearly tripled year-on-year, and the logistics speed has been shortened from more than 40 days to about 25 days now." Wang Chunming said that the company’s latest batch of orders were delivered from Belarus to Erenhot, and the goods were distributed to all parts of the country after unloading. "Five cars were delivered this morning, and four cars will be’ taken’ later."

There are many foreign trade enterprises like Wang Chunming that enjoy the dividend of cross-border e-commerce development. In Guangzhou and Baiyun Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone, batches of small packages imported directly by cross-border e-commerce such as beauty and skin care products and clothing accessories were sorted and sent to all parts of the country. In Sichuan, in eight provincial-level cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, 400 cross-border e-commerce source factories operate efficiently, and batches of products with Bashu characteristics go overseas from here.

Since 2014, cross-border e-commerce has been written into the government work report for 11 consecutive years. From 1.06 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2.38 trillion yuan in 2023, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China increased by 1.2 times in five years.

Hong Yong believes that the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce in China is mainly due to its ability to effectively reduce transaction costs, shorten transaction chains, improve transaction efficiency, and meet the personalized and diversified needs of consumers.

According to customs statistics, in the first eight months of this year, there were 630,000 foreign trade business entities with import and export performance in China, up 8.8% year-on-year. According to preliminary statistics, the number of cross-border e-commerce entities in China has exceeded 120,000, and the number of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks has exceeded 1,000. Relying on 165 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones in China, cross-border e-commerce has driven more enterprises from various industrial belts to participate in international trade.

Wang Chunming said that these data reflect the great changes in global consumption and trade patterns. "In the past, international trade mainly relied on traditional channels and logistics models. Nowadays, consumers can purchase global goods more conveniently through e-commerce platforms, and enterprises can also use e-commerce platforms to break geographical restrictions and enter the international market."

However, the industry has also noticed that the development of cross-border e-commerce still faces some challenges, such as the inconvenience of cross-border exchange, the need to improve cross-border e-commerce service capabilities, and differences in laws and regulations. In the next step, how to promote the "new engine" with high quality is the key to the industry’s stability and far-reaching.

In this regard, Wang Chunming suggested: First, strengthen policy coordination with other countries, increase the promotion of overseas markets, and promote more cross-border e-commerce enterprises to enter the international market. The second is to promote the combination of cross-border e-commerce platforms and localized services to help domestic enterprises better adapt to the international market, especially to provide more support in product compliance and payment security. "Only when policy, technology and market work together can we provide a better ecological environment for cross-border e-commerce and further promote its healthy and sustainable development."

Hong Yong suggested that the first is to strengthen infrastructure construction, such as improving domestic and international logistics networks and improving the security and convenience of cross-border payment systems. The second is to optimize the policy environment and reduce the operating costs of cross-border e-commerce enterprises through measures such as decentralization and reduction of examination and approval links. The third is to strengthen personnel training and technical support, establish a training mechanism for cross-border e-commerce professionals, and promote the application of technological innovation. Fourth, strengthen international cooperation, actively participate in the formulation of international rules, and create a fairer and more transparent external environment for cross-border e-commerce enterprises.

Consumer goods are "trade-in"! What do you want to change?

  Editor’s Note: A few days ago, the Provincial Department of Commerce and other 19 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods in Henan Province", which will focus on the implementation of three major projects: trade-in of automobiles, trade-in of household appliances and "rejuvenation" of home improvement and kitchen and bathroom. As soon as this news came out, it was widely concerned by consumers. What are consumers’ expectations and concerns? What is the situation of the consumer market? The reporter interviewed this.

  New kinetic energy-

  Find a "home" for waste materials

  In life, many people have seen such a scene in residential areas: old toilets, old furniture, waste household appliances, etc. are abandoned beside the trash can, waiting for someone to take them away. What should I do with these big household items? Is there a smooth recycling channel? Yesterday, the reporter started an interview.

  The netizen had the experience of handling large household items. He told reporters that his old house needed to be renovated and he wanted to get rid of some old things. But because of the high floor and no elevator, things were bulky and heavy, and many masters who collected waste products were unwilling to pick them up. Selling these things not only won’t get money, but also requires paying a "disposal fee". "In the end, I had to bundle things that can still be used at home and can be sold with these items, and some people reluctantly agreed to clear them." This netizen is emotional.

  With the continuous improvement of living standards, citizens’ demand for integrated upgrading of large household items is constantly increasing, and where to go for the eliminated large household items has become a difficult problem. "The public area in the hospital is limited. If these large items are discarded in the hospital, it will not only occupy the road, but also increase the burden on sanitation workers. I feel guilty in my heart, and I am afraid of causing conflicts in my neighborhood. I really hope that the relevant departments can provide a’ home’ for the eliminated household items. " The netizen said "the flag is victorious". "The electronic components in some household appliances will release harmful substances after aging and expiration, causing invisible harm to the human body." Ms. Shi, who is engaged in the environmental protection industry, said that she had done market research, and many residents did have the demand for recycling large household items.

  The reporter learned that due to the lack of convenient recycling points, these eliminated large household items were either discarded at will or dismantled by some illegal dismantling points. An old man who walks the streets to recycle old household appliances told reporters that these old things are worthless, and washing machines, old computers, etc. are tens of dollars regardless of good or bad. Dealing with these things takes up space and time, and he takes them back and sells them in parts.

  Previously, the relevant ministries and commissions of the state jointly issued the Notice on Encouraging Household Appliance Manufacturers to Carry out the Action of Responsibility System for Recycling Targets, and put forward a series of policies to encourage household appliance manufacturers to implement recycling. Nowadays, many home appliance manufacturers are carrying out "trade-in" activities, and some enterprises can even provide disassembly services for free.

  For a long time, the recycling level of large household items is low, the management is not standardized, and the necessary recycling facilities are lacking. The "last mile" of recycling has never been opened. Recently, the Henan Provincial Department of Commerce and other 19 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods in Henan Province", which mentioned that the recycling network of household appliances should be upgraded, and the construction of recycling outlets, sorting centers, dismantling facilities and other projects should be supported to improve the efficiency of recycling, transit and distribution. The staff of an environmental protection enterprise in our city told the reporter that they have paid attention to this problem and are considering establishing a recycling channel and management system with some qualified enterprises to realize the reduction, harmlessness and resource disposal of large household items.

  Automobile energy conversion-

  Double subsidies are more favorable.

  Automobile consumption is an important part of household consumption. At present, the automobile trade-in project has begun. What is the trend of the consumer market? What new weather has it presented? On May 11th, the reporter went to the automobile market in northern Henan for an interview.

  There are used car trading places in the market, and more are new car sales stores. In a new car sales store at the entrance of the market, different styles of cars are parked. Duan Wenbin, the manager of the automobile sales and marketing department, is sorting out the automobile sales information. He said: "The new round of automobile trade-in has begun, which will definitely drive the automobile market consumption. We have prepared enough sources to meet the diversified needs of consumers as much as possible."

  On May 7, the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods in Henan Province" jointly issued by the Provincial Department of Commerce and other 19 departments mentioned that from May 7 to the end of this year, individual consumers will be scrapped with fuel vehicles or new energy passenger vehicles with national emission standards of Grade III and below, and they will be subsidized by 10,000 yuan for purchasing new energy passenger vehicles; For individual consumers, the fuel vehicles with national emission standards of Grade III and below will be scrapped, and the fuel passenger cars with a displacement of less than 2.0 will be subsidized by 7,000 yuan. At the same time, cities and counties are encouraged to give subsidies to consumers who replace old cars with new ones, and the provincial finance will give appropriate awards; Encourage automobile production enterprises and sales enterprises to independently carry out second-hand car replacement subsidies and superimposed preferential profit-making activities.

  "In fact, we have always had replacement subsidies for car buyers. Old cars are exchanged for new ones, cars of the same brand are subsidized by 5,000 yuan, and subsidies of different brands are 3,000 yuan. Consumers can enjoy subsidies as long as they provide transaction tickets." Duan Wenbin said that now, government departments also have subsidies, coupled with corporate concessions, consumers can save a lot by exchanging old ones for new ones.

  What style of car is more popular with consumers? Duan Wenbin pointed to a small new energy passenger car and said, "It must be a new energy passenger car, especially this small one, which saves energy and is convenient to park in the urban area." Yan Dong, a staff member of an automobile sales department who specializes in selling new energy passenger cars, also told reporters: "It is precisely because of the good market prospects of new energy passenger cars that the manufacturers we sell cars changed from fuel vehicle production to new energy passenger car production last year. Moreover, adding intelligent technology and intelligent management, such as autonomous driving technology, to new energy passenger cars is very popular among young consumers. "

  Cui Zhifeng, a consumer who has transferred to several car stores, is a "post-00" and is preparing to change to a new car. He said: "New energy vehicles are the first choice. I prefer to be intelligent and have a better driving experience. Let’s take a look around today and exchange our old car for a new one in a couple of days. "

  How to apply for car trade-in subsidy? The reporter learned that consumers can enter the application through the website of the "National Automobile Circulation Information Management" system or the "Car Trade-in" applet.

  Replacement of home appliances-

  Merchants let the market get hot.

  "Trade-in" is not a new term for the home appliance market. The difference is that more businesses have joined the trade-in activities this year. On May 11th, the reporter visited some appliance stores in our city.

  The reporter saw that many merchants have advertised "trade-in", and almost all the home appliances in the store have billboards. In the corridors and aisles, the slogan of "trade-in" can be seen everywhere. A staff member told the reporter: "Many commodities can be’ trade-in’. This year, there are more commodities participating in the activities and the publicity is stronger. Generally speaking,’ trade-in’ can be deducted from 200 yuan to 300 yuan, and you can participate in activities regardless of the brand or quality. Some merchants don’t even take away the old machines, and then make profits for consumers. "

  The reporter found that in addition to trade-in, merchants also launched other promotional activities, and some brands launched "group purchase coupons" benefits. After consumers receive coupons online, they can also purchase new products by superimposing in-store promotional activities; Some brands offer services such as "10-year warranty" and free cleaning; Some products focus on intelligence, and users can control them remotely by connecting their mobile phones. Nowadays, intelligent household appliances such as "washing machine+dryer", dishwasher and sweeping robot have entered more and more families. A salesperson told the reporter: "According to the needs of consumers, merchants will launch different products, some of which are economical and applicable, and some of which can meet the needs of high-quality life, but overall, green and energy-saving products sell best."

  "Come in and have a look, this is our new TV set. Its biggest highlight is’ seamless adsorption’, separated design and stereo surround, and the picture and color are even less, which can meet the needs of family viewing. " The clerk said to the consumers who are buying TV sets, "The promotion activities during the May 1 ST period are still going on. As long as they really want to buy them, the price can be negotiated again." "Now many consumers value cost performance, and similar products with low price, good quality and high energy efficiency are more popular." A citizen who just bought a TV set told reporters.

  So, which home appliances do consumers most want to join the trade-in activity? The reporter learned that some consumers hope that the trade-in activities of large household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines should be implemented so that consumers can really get benefits. Another part of consumers said that the upgrading speed of large household appliances is slow, and it is more affordable for small household appliances to join the activities. "Before replacing the old electric baking pans at home, 50 yuan changed the price for a new one. Small household appliances are broken, which costs a little more to repair, but it is a pity to throw them away. This kind of activity is quite good. " Citizen Gao Min said. Ms. Dong, a citizen, said that there are many broken small household appliances at home. If different types of small household appliances can be exchanged for each other, it would be better to buy the products they need.

  Home improvement kitchen and bathroom "rejuvenation" new-

  Green, intelligent and energy-saving become the first choice.

  With a gentle kick, the toilet lid automatically rises, freeing hands; With a wave of your hand, the range hood hidden in the hanging cabinet can be lowered; Remote control operation, the mattress bends into an S-shape, which makes the body fit and relax … Nowadays, green, intelligent and energy-saving products emerge one after another in home stores. Will the home market be "rejuvenated" with the current trade-in craze? On May 13th, the reporter visited some home markets in our city.

  On the morning of the same day, in a home improvement building materials market in the middle section of Wenming Avenue, the reporter met Ms. Niu, a citizen. "I just bought a new house for my child in March this year, and now the hard clothes will end immediately." She is consulting the whole house customization and told reporters. After a few days of shopping, she realized that there are a lot of wardrobe plates, such as density board, particle board, pine board, multilayer board and solid board, which are dazzling. "The child will get married at the end of the year, so in the choice of building materials, my biggest requirement is that the environmental protection level should be high. This is the case with wardrobes and cabinet plates, as well as the previous latex paint."

  In addition to the popularity of green building materials, smart and energy-saving products have also become popular choices for consumers. In a bathroom shop on the first floor of the building materials market, the latest smart toilets were put in a conspicuous position. "At present, the best selling in our store is the smart toilet. In the past, most young people liked it, but now the customer base is wider. Many middle-aged and elderly people change their clothes and choose smart or light smart toilets. " Zhi Hong, a salesperson of the store, introduced it. Now the smart toilet is no longer "unattainable". You can buy a light smart toilet with heated seat and automatic lid lifting for more than 2,000 yuan, and the price is similar to that of ordinary toilets. "Our smart toilets and light smart toilets are both water-efficient secondary, and its sensing device will discharge water according to the load-bearing time, providing consumers with quality life and saving water at the same time." Zhihong said.

  Kitchen and bathroom is the core area of the family and an important functional area. In addition to the renovation of new houses, many consumers who renovated old houses also started from the renovation of kitchen and bathroom. Ms. Gao, who lives in the Laker Triangle, originally bought a second-hand house, which was already decorated when she bought it. "I didn’t redecorate because of the limited budget. Now that I have a little more money, I want to clean up the kitchen. " Ms. Gao, who is choosing a gas stove, said that at present, the cupboard has been replaced at home, and then a set of more energy-efficient stoves and range hoods should be selected.

  During the interview, the reporter learned that some businesses have launched trade-in activities, and at the same time, businesses are still continuing the "May Day" discount and various combination package promotions. "I saw the trade-in implementation plan issued by the province on the Internet, and I hope that businesses can launch related activities as soon as possible. In this way, the merchants will make some profits and the government will subsidize them. We can also upgrade our consumption and enjoy a higher quality smart home. " Ms. Niu said.

  What did you get in exchange for the old one?

  A few days ago, the Provincial Department of Commerce and other departments jointly issued a document to promote the full implementation of trade-in of consumer goods in Henan Province, focusing on the implementation of three major projects: trade-in of automobiles, trade-in of household appliances and "rejuvenation" of home improvement and kitchen and bathroom. Our city is also promoting this work. What changes have been brought to our production and life by the trade-in of consumer goods?

  Trade-in of consumer goods has brought about an improvement in people’s quality of life. In the new round of trade-in activities of consumer goods, the new products replaced tend to be new energy passenger cars, green smart home appliances, smart electronic products, smart homes and other new products. These new products focus on green and intelligence, bringing convenience and intelligence to people’s lives, especially some aging smart products, which enhance the well-being of the elderly. Trade-in of consumer goods leads the new consumption fashion and improves the quality of life of the people.

  Trade-in of consumer goods has brought a new look to the consumer market. Consumers can exchange old products for new ones and enjoy a certain amount of subsidies at the same time. Subsidies stimulate market consumption, which is bound to set off a new round of consumption boom. Consumer goods, such as automobiles, home appliances, home improvement, kitchen and bathroom, which are included in this trade-in subsidy, are an important part of residents’ consumption and are also bulk consumer products. Subsidies from government departments and concessions from some enterprises will certainly stimulate the consumer market and then set off a consumption boom.

  Trade-in of consumer goods brings about the recycling of resources. At present, after automobiles, household appliances, home improvement, kitchen and bathroom and other household products are abandoned, some residents can’t find special recycling channels, and waste products will be littered, which may bring pollution to the environment. After the unified recycling of waste products, possible environmental pollution is avoided, moreover, waste resources can be recycled, and the quality and level of economic cycle are greatly improved.

  Trade-in of consumer goods has brought about high-quality economic development. Green and intelligence are the vane of the consumer market. Stimulated by the trade-in policy, green and smart products favored by consumers are bound to be popular. This is conducive to promoting investment and promoting enterprises to produce more green and intelligent products, thus promoting the continuous increase of the proportion of advanced production capacity and bringing more high-quality durable consumer goods into residents’ lives. This can also promote local industries to climb "high", make efforts to "new", go "green" and make great strides towards high-quality development.

  Trade-in of consumer goods has brought a new look to consumers’ life and consumption market. Relevant departments of our city should speed up the introduction of relevant policies so that consumers can enjoy the policy dividend as soon as possible and bring new atmosphere and changes.

China’s "consumption map" came out: How much did you spend in the first half of the year?

  Beijing, July 31 (Reporter Tang Ming) According to World Finance, the economic voice of the Central Radio and Television General Station, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in the first half of this year, the per capita consumption expenditure of the national residents reached 10,330 yuan, and consumption is still an important driving force to lead the stable economic growth. With the release of economic data of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the first half of the year, a more detailed "consumption map" is presented to people: where do residents spend the most money? Where is the fastest growth in consumption?

  The per capita consumption expenditure is generally higher than last year.

  In the first half of this year, the ranking of per capita consumption expenditure of residents in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) was basically the same as last year, and the amount of consumption expenditure generally increased compared with last year. The data shows that the top rankings of per capita consumption expenditure in the first half of this year were Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang and Guangdong, which were consistent with the first half of last year.

  Among them, Beijing’s per capita consumption expenditure exceeded 20,000 yuan, Hubei, Chongqing and Inner Mongolia exceeded 10,000 yuan. In the first half of this year, the per capita consumption expenditure exceeded 10,000 yuan, an increase of three compared with the same period last year.

  The southeast coastal market is huge, and the western region is growing rapidly.

  Looking at the "consumption map" in the first half of the year, the strong economic provinces in the southeast coast are generally stable and the consumer market is huge. Among the top 10 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the first half of the year, the southeast coastal provinces and municipalities accounted for half of the country, and the per capita consumption expenditures of Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Fujian all exceeded the national average, ranking in the forefront.

  Although the consumption market in the central and western regions is not as large as that in the southeast coast, the growth rate is generally faster. Among them, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in Sichuan Province in the first half of the year increased by 10.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.1 percentage points higher than the national average.

  Expanding consumption scenes in various places to stimulate consumption vitality

  In order to further stimulate the vitality of consumption, many regions have expanded the consumption scene. Recently, Beijing residents have fully felt the changes brought by the "night economy" to people’s lives. Guangdong has issued the Implementation Plan for Improving the System and Mechanism of Promoting Consumption in Guangdong Province, and put forward 29 specific measures in nine aspects in view of the outstanding problems that restrict consumption at present. Among them, in order to optimize the automobile consumption environment, measures such as gradually relaxing the car lottery and auction indicators in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and expanding the scale of quasi-purchase were put forward.

  Service-oriented, development-oriented, and experience-oriented consumption are featured.

  With the development of mobile Internet technology, in the "consumption map" in the first half of the year, service-oriented consumption, developmental consumption and experiential consumption have become the consumption characteristics of all localities. For example, in the first half of the year, Shanghai’s retail sales without stores reached 117.3 billion yuan, an increase of 20.4% over the same period last year; The contribution rate of service consumption in Beijing to the total consumption growth reached 70.4%, and the contribution rate of upgrading consumption such as communication to the total consumption growth reached 60%.

  Xing Ziqiang, chief economist of Morgan Stanley China, believes that in the future, 5G will inject new vitality into consumption. "The application of 5G is expected to help smart cities, the Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles and other applications to a big step, and finally make those more close to consumers. The vitality of tailor-made services, experiences, shopping and medical consumption will be further released, which may be the next stage."

Chengde responded that "terminally ill single mother asks for help for mentally disabled adopted daughter": the child has been sent to welfare home.

  Recently, a single mother suffering from cancer in Changgou Village, Dashuiquan Town, Xinglong County, Chengde City, Hebei Province left a message on People’s Daily Online "Local Leaders Message Board" asking for help, hoping that the government could help her find a rescue agency to raise and take care of her adopted daughter with intellectual disability.

  The Social Situation and Public Opinion Office of Chengde Municipal Committee has replied at the bottom of the message board that the relevant units of Chengde Civil Affairs Bureau and Xinglong County have carefully checked. After active coordination, relevant issues have been properly solved.

  On July 5, a staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Xinglong County, Chengde City told The Paper that at present, the child has been sent to Chengde Welfare Institute, which is responsible for his daily life; The mother of the child still needs regular medical treatment. At present, in view of the above situation, relevant problems have been arranged to be solved.

  On July 5th, a staff member of Xinglong County Party Committee Office told The Paper that the mother was divorced, suffering from advanced cervical cancer, and her adopted child was mentally disabled. A month ago, they raised about 6,000 yuan for it and have completed the last phase of chemotherapy. At present, the mother is in good health and will be reviewed in three months. "The follow-up cost is not very high. She is now working with her friends and earning a little money. There is nothing wrong with life at present. " The staff member said that in the next step, after her body recovered, the mother was going to set up a stall in the market.

  The above-mentioned staff said that they would continue to follow up her physical condition and provide corresponding help.

  The staff member also mentioned that at first, the mother had no time to rest because she needed to take care of her children alone for 24 hours. She thought she had no hope of recovery, so she gave up treatment and went through the procedure of donating her body. At present, the child has been arranged to be taken care of by Chengde Welfare Institute. He said that local volunteers will also be regularly organized to go to the welfare home with the mother to see the children.

  On the same day, a staff member in charge of subsistence allowances in Xinglong County said that they had raised the low premiums of mother and daughter to the highest standard. Originally, the mother’s monthly fee was 245 yuan, and the daughter’s monthly fee was 255 yuan. Now, both of them have been raised to 400 yuan per person per month.

  The Paper noticed that the aforementioned single mother wrote on the message board that in 2006, she lost her fertility due to tubal blockage and ectopic pregnancy surgery; In 2013, her mother adopted a baby girl from a pair of Tianjin parents under the age of 18. Subsequently, the baby girl was raised by her, but unfortunately she suffered from encephalitis, which caused secondary mental disability. To this end, she borrowed 300,000 yuan to treat her children.

  She also wrote that she divorced her husband in 2019. Because the opposite sex was not related by blood, her ex-husband could not be the guardian of her adopted daughter alone, and the court awarded her custody of the child. The child is 9 years old this year. He can’t take care of himself and needs long-term care. In July 2020, she was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she is still receiving follow-up treatment. However, because she found it too late to surgically remove the lesion, she was extremely weak and thus lost her ability to work.

  "Give the child a chance to live when I have to say goodbye to this world." The single mother wrote.

Buying a house and a car when you are in love, what should I do after breaking up?

one

Illustration Wang Chen Jun

  Transfer money during love, do you need to return it after breaking up? Buying a wedding room and registering your girlfriend’s name is a gift or a joint house purchase? Buying a car before marriage is a bride price or a gift. Can I ask for a return after breaking up? Recently, Haidian court tried many such cases, and the judge explained them in detail and gave a prompt.

  Case:

  Forced by his girlfriend to write an iou? If "coercion" is not proved, it will be returned.

  Xiao Na said that during her love with Xiaolei, Xiaolei borrowed 600,000 yuan from her on the grounds of revolving business, and then repaid 30,000 yuan. In July 2015, Xiaolei issued a debit note to her, promising to repay it at maturity, but failed to fulfill the repayment promise after the expiration. She repeatedly urged for no results, so she sued Xiaolei for repaying the loan principal of 570,000 yuan and paying interest.

  During the trial, Xiao Na submitted the IOUs and transfer records to the court. The content of the loan shows: "Xiaolei borrowed 600,000 yuan from Xiaona today, and has already paid back 30,000 yuan, leaving 570,000 yuan to be paid off before October 2015. On July 30, 2015, the borrower Xiao Lei. " According to the personal account statement of Xiao Na Bank, Xiao Na transferred RMB 600,000 to Xiaolei from 2014 to 2015 by mobile phone.

  Xiaolei recognized the transfer record, but said that he and Xiao Na were originally in love, and they often transferred money to each other during their love. He did not borrow money from Xiaona. The two parties originally planned to hold a wedding in August 2015, but a few days before the wedding, Xiao Na and several people forced him to write this IOU.

  The court held that according to the evidence submitted by Xiao Na, it can be concluded that there is a private loan relationship between her and Xiaolei, and Xiaolei should fulfill the repayment obligation, but the failure to repay all the loans so far has constituted a breach of contract. Xiaolei claimed that the IOU was issued under the coercion of Xiao Na, but no evidence was provided, so the court refused to accept it. Finally, the court ordered Xiaolei to repay Xiao Na’s loan of 570,000 yuan and pay corresponding interest.

  The judge suggested that the lender should keep the payment voucher.

  Hu Meiqing of Haidian Court said that it is very common for lovers to transfer money to each other. After the relationship ends, it is not uncommon for one party to advocate "transferring money to borrow money" and sue. Because many lovers write IOUs to each other for emotional reasons, but no loans actually occur, it is more complicated to identify such loan relationships.

  Is it a loan relationship to transfer money during the relationship? The judge believes that the party who advocates the establishment of the loan relationship generally bears the burden of proof on whether the loan relationship is true and the actual delivery of the loan. Therefore, it is particularly important for lenders to keep relevant payment vouchers. Borrowing between lovers, it is best to leave traces by means of transfer, etc., and at the same time pay attention to keeping the bank’s running water and transaction records. If you need to pay a large amount of cash, you should keep the bank’s withdrawal records, and if necessary, you should ask the other party to issue an iou or sign a loan agreement.

  Case:

  Before marriage, the court awarded 50% of the property rights under the name of one registered person.

  Another pair of lovers, Zhou Yang and Li Ting, have been dating since they were in college, and they broke up in 2015. In October 2012, the two parties jointly invested to buy a house in Haidian District, Beijing. Because Zhou Yang was not qualified to buy a house at that time, they negotiated and signed a sales contract with the real estate company in the name of Li Ting. After that, Zhou Yang paid the down payment of 1,588,519 yuan, the purchase price of 160,000 yuan, and Li Ting paid the remaining house price of 440,000 yuan. The house was registered in the name of Li Ting. On June 30, 2016, after obtaining the qualification to buy a house, Zhou Yang contacted Li Ting to handle the house transfer, but Li Ting ignored it. Zhou Yang found out that she planned to sell the house through an intermediary company.

  In this regard, Zhou Yang believes that the joint purchase of a house by both parties and Li Ting’s unauthorized sale have seriously infringed on their legitimate rights and interests, so he sued his ex-girlfriend and demanded that the house be divided according to law, with himself and Li Ting accounting for 78.3% and 21.7% respectively.

  However, Li Ting said that the house was registered in her personal name and belonged to personal property, and Zhou Yang had no right to divide it; Moreover, the purchase price paid by Zhou Yang is a gift to her, and there is no common property between the two parties.

  During the trial, both of them said that they intended to buy a house as a wedding room, but later they broke up due to emotional reasons, and the house has been occupied by Li Ting. The court held that it was an act of jointly purchasing property with marriage intention to jointly invest and buy a house in the name of Li during their love. Now the two sides have failed to get married and end their love relationship, and the purpose of buying a house has been impossible to achieve. Although the property right is registered in the name of the woman, it should still be recognized as common property. In the end, the court ruled that the house was jointly owned by two people, with each party holding 50% of the property rights, and Li Ting assisted Zhou Yang in the registration of the property rights.

  The judge suggested that buying a house together during love is regarded as common property.

  It is more and more common to buy a house jointly before marriage. Hu Meiqing believes that houses, cars and furniture jointly invested by both parties during the period of love should be regarded as common property. At the termination of the joint ownership relationship, the division of the joint property shall be handled according to the agreement if there is an agreement, and if there is no agreement, the factors such as the contribution of the co-owners, the contribution to the joint property and the actual needs of the co-owners in production and life shall be considered. In order to avoid disputes in the future, we should be cautious in buying a house together during the period of love. We can sign a capital contribution agreement in advance to stipulate their respective shares, and at the same time, we should keep relevant evidence such as bank transfer records and payment vouchers.

  Case:

  Buying a car, registering in the name of the prospective mother-in-law, breaking up, and the court awarded the refund of the car.

  A couple decided to get married. Li Wen said that he spent 226,856.9 yuan to buy an SUV as a wedding gift at the request of his girlfriend Zhang Xia. Because they were not qualified to buy a car in Beijing, they registered the car in the name of Zhang Xia’s mother Wang. However, the two sides broke up soon due to personality and other reasons. Li Wen’s request for Zhang Xia to return the car purchase fee was rejected, so he sued Zhang Xia’s mother and daughter for returning the engagement price of more than 230,000 yuan.

  During the trial, Zhang Xia’s mother and daughter argued that there was no engagement between Li Wen and Zhang Xia, and the vehicle involved in the case that Li Wen invested and registered under Wang’s name was not an engagement bride price. Because of their long relationship, Li Wen mentioned breaking up many times. Before buying a car, Li Wen broke up with Zhang Xia again. This time, he proposed to buy a car for Zhang Xia to make up for his feelings. Moreover, when buying a car, the old car under Wang’s name is discounted to 8000 yuan, so the newly bought car also has Wang’s rights and interests, which should be divided before disposal. The used car has been depreciated and should not be returned at the new car price.

  The court held that the car purchase money should belong to Li Wen’s expenditure for the purpose of marriage and has the nature of bride price. Although Zhang Xia’s mother and daughter claimed that Li Wen’s contribution was a gift, they did not provide sufficient evidence and the court did not support it. In view of their failure to get married, Li Wen has the right to demand that the other party return the corresponding expenses incurred for marriage. Regarding the amount of money to be refunded, it should be judged according to Li Wen’s actual expenses for purchasing the car. Finally, the court ruled that Zhang Xia’s mother and daughter returned Li Wen’s car purchase price of 232,983.79 yuan.

  Judge’s tip: unmarried people ask for the support of the bride price court.

  Hu Meiqing said that the phenomenon of paying bride price before marriage is a custom, which is popular in many parts of China. If both parties fail to go through the marriage registration formalities, and one party requests to return the bride price, it shall be supported. If unmarried men and women have indeed lived together but are not registered to get married in the end, the court can determine whether to return and the amount of the bride price according to the time of their living together, the amount of the bride price and the local rural customs and habits. In addition, the actual payers and recipients of the bride price are not limited to men and women themselves. If the actual recipients of the bride price are the parents of the woman or other people, when the man sues for the return of the bride price, the woman and the actual recipients can be listed as co-defendants.

Abnormal cycle of Chinese herbal medicine? Maori downward pharmaceutical companies face the choice of price increase.

  "Up for three years, down for three years, flat for three years,The cycle of material price change is generally ten years. Based on this cyclical feature, people in the timber industry expected at the end of 2023 that "the price of timber has been rising for three years and should fall back." However, in the first half of this year, the price of Chinese herbal medicines continued to rise after a short-term adjustment at a high level.

  After a whole year’s inventory digestion of raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, the gross profit margin of some listed Chinese medicine enterprises changed greatly in the first quarter of this year, and the pressure of raw material cost began to appear.

  Manager Li, a staff member of the original purchasing department of a listed pharmaceutical company, told the Cailian reporter: "Last year, some enterprises did predict the price increase of Chinese medicine raw materials and reserved raw materials, but generally speaking, the raw materials reserved by a company are usually one year, at most two years."

  Since the beginning of this year, the index of Kangmei Chinese herbal medicine has risen from 1810.99 points to 2248.52 points, with an increase of 24.16%. The prices of some varieties such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Cortex Moutan and Radix Paeoniae Alba have increased several times. The prices of Chinese herbal medicines continued to rise overall on the basis of last year’s high prices, while pharmaceutical companies turned to buy high-priced medicinal materials in the market after their own low-priced raw material stocks were exhausted, which may continue to push up the production costs of enterprises. The impact of this year’s price increase on listed Chinese pharmaceutical companies may be deepened.

  The gross profit margin of some Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies has dropped significantly.

  As can be seen from the financial report data of Chinese medicine listed companies in the first quarter of this year, the gross profit margin of some companies showed a clear downward trend.

  The gross profit margin of the above-mentioned companies in Q1 2024 decreased by an average of 7.65pct compared with the same period of last year, and the gross profit margin of many listed companies decreased by more than 10pct.

  In this regard, Cailian reporters called some listed companies as investors, and some listed companies said that the rising price of Chinese herbal medicines caused cost pressure on the company’s products.(300519.SZ) A company official said: "The price of Chinese herbal medicines doubled from last year to this year."

The price index of Chinese herbal medicines reached a new high this year.

  (002603.SZ) said at the performance briefing that Chinese herbal medicines haveAttribute, there is a certain periodicity. Among the Chinese herbal medicines used in the company’s exclusive products, the prices of some Chinese herbal medicines rose significantly compared with last year, which affected the gross profit margin of some products to some extent. The company will take measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency to maintain relatively stable gross profit margin. In addition, the company will further strengthen the construction of Chinese herbal medicine breeding bases, which can not only guarantee the quality of Chinese herbal medicines from the source, but also alleviate the price pressure of some Chinese herbal medicines to some extent.

  The reporter of Cailian found that the prices of raw materials for the main products of several listed companies with obvious decline in gross profit margin have indeed risen sharply. such as(002728.SZ), the price of raw materials for washing Aster rose from 45 yuan/kg at the end of 2022 to 90 yuan/kg at present, while that of Radix Platycodi rose from 37 yuan/kg to 43 yuan/kg, that of Radix Peucedani rose from 45 yuan/kg to 85 yuan/kg, and that of Radix Glycyrrhizae rose from 22 yuan/kg to 31 yuan/kg. Only Fructus Aurantii decreased slightly from 23 yuan/kg.

  However, it should also be noted that not all companies’ gross profit margin decreases are caused by changes in the cost of medicinal materials, and changes in the company’s product structure and the results of medical insurance negotiations will have a greater impact on the company’s gross profit margin.

  However, for most Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies, the overall price of Chinese medicine is still on the rise this year, and the gross profit margin of enterprises is affected by the change of raw material cost or more obvious than last year. This year, the prices of some commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Aucklandiae, have risen sharply, and the market sentiment continues to rise. However, the prices of Chinese herbal medicines, such as Angelica sinensis, Codonopsis pilosula and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, which fell back in the second half of last year due to excessive increase, also showed signs of stabilization.

  After investigating and interviewing the distribution market of Chinese herbal medicines and some listed companies, the reporter of Cailian found that for enterprises with Chinese herbal medicine planting bases, the stability of product supply can be basically guaranteed when the price of Chinese herbal medicines rises, but because most of the medicinal materials in most enterprises are mainly planted in a cooperative way, the purchase price of raw materials is purchased at a protective price that goes with the market, which will not greatly benefit when the price of the medicinal materials rises.

  Manager Li told Cailian reporter: "The raw material reserves of most large Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies generally analyze the price when purchasing medicinal materials. If the current price of a medicinal material is significantly higher than normal, enterprises generally will not make a large number of purchases, but will only use it as needed."

  If the current pharmaceutical companies start to use the purchasing strategy of low-inventory raw materials, under normal circumstances, the price of high-priced raw materials will slowly decrease due to weak demand, but if the price of this raw material continues to rise, pharmaceutical companies can only passively purchase.

  Enterprises raise prices? Break the contract? Or involution?

  Faced with the rising prices of Chinese herbal medicines, various companies have made different countermeasures for different products and markets.

  Some listed companies have chosen to raise prices, the earliest is(600436.SH) issued the Announcement on Price Adjustment of Leading Products in May 2023, and the company indicated that the retail price of Pien Tze Huang tablets, the leading product, in the domestic market will be raised from 590 yuan to 760 yuan from May 6, 2023, with an increase rate of 28.8%.

  For this price increase, the company said that it was mainly due to the rising cost of raw materials. The reporter of Cailian learned from the staff of Bozhou Drug Merchants Network that the price of bezoar, the main raw material needed by Pien Tze Huang, has increased significantly in the past two years. The price of natural bezoar per kilogram has risen from 500,000 yuan to a maximum of 1.8 million yuan, and now it has dropped slightly to around 1.5 million yuan.

  However, Pien Tze Huang did not raise the price of Angong Niuhuang Pill, another product with bezoar as the main raw material. Earlier, a staff member of another Angong Niuhuang Pill manufacturer told the Cailian reporter that although the price of bezoar has increased greatly, the company’s price increase needs to take into account the situation of competitors of the same product. If the price increase is rushed, it may affect the product sales.

  Except Pien Tze Huang,(002644.SZ) also announced in March this year that it will adjust the ex-factory price of its main proprietary Chinese medicine products due to rising raw materials and production costs, with an average price increase of 9%. Judging from the company’s first quarterly report, the gross profit margin of sales was 31.1%, which was indeed higher than that of 26.66% in the same period of last year. However, since the company raised the price in March, the boosting effect of the price increase on the gross profit margin has not yet fully appeared in the first quarterly report.

List of some enterprises whose gross profit margin increased year-on-year in the first quarter

  From the product structure of the company, its main products include compound Huangqi Jianpi oral liquid, concentrated Danggui pill, Xiaoyao pill, Angong Niuhuang pill and Liuwei Dihuang pill, most of which are OTC products.The public selling price of e-commerce platforms such as Taobao shows that the price of the company’s products is relatively low compared with similar products of other brands, and the gross profit margin is relatively low.

  In addition, Cailian reporters learned from pharmacies and some listed companies that the prices of main products of listed companies have also been adjusted. among(600993.SH) A company official said that the price of hemorrhoid cream under the company increased slightly. There are also staff members of a medical institution in Shijiazhuang City who reported to the Cailian reporter.The price of quick-acting jiuxin pills has increased recently.

  Under the pressure of rising prices of Chinese herbal medicines, some enterprises chose to breach the contract. Last month, Shandong Province announced two batches of "Announcement on Medical Price and Credit Evaluation Results of Illegal Enterprises in Joint Procurement of Chinese Herbal Pieces by Sanming Purchasing Alliance Inter-provincial Purchasing Alliance". Many enterprises refused to fulfill their commitments and refused to fulfill their purchase, sale or distribution contracts without justifiable reasons.(600085.SH)、The subsidiaries of (600518.SH) and Zhendong Pharmaceutical (300158.SZ) are all on the list of general dishonesty/serious dishonesty.

  The list mainly involves varieties such as Paeonia lactiflora, earthworm, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cortex Moutan, Angelica sinensis, Codonopsis pilosula, etc., which have increased greatly in the second half of last year or this year. Taking Atractylodes macrocephala as an example, the unified price of goods in Bozhou and anguo city markets rose from the lowest 28 yuan per kilogram last year to the highest 170 yuan per kilogram this year.

  Some insiders told Cailian reporter that because the centralized collection of Chinese herbal medicines in Shandong was not forced by the government, but made by micro-doctors, the risk of default was low. Therefore, some pharmaceutical companies chose to take the initiative to default because the cost of some drinks increased too much, if they continued to supply, they would cause serious losses.

  In addition to price increase and default, enterprises have a slightly helpless third choice. Some people in listed companies said that the price increase may face an unfavorable situation of competition with the same products, and now they can only support it, but the company will try its best to reduce various expenses.

  Faced with the rising prices of medicinal materials, some experts in the medicinal materials industry, such as Bozhou and Anguo, have also begun to revise their judgments on the rising cycle of Chinese medicinal materials-"There is a constant inflow of funds, and it may rise." However, some old drug dealers believe that the actual demand growth of medicinal materials is not so great. The price increase of many medicinal materials is not driven by demand, but by funds. Medicinal materials are hoarded in cold storage to form inventory, and the risk of price decline in the market is increasing.

800,000 millet SU7? It is a high-priced flagship and a breakthrough in the high-end market.

Today, the new energy vehicle market is surging. As an emerging force, Xiaomi Automobile has attracted much attention in every step. Recently, the news that Xiaomi plans to launch a model with a price of up to 800,000 yuan, Ultra Prototype, has triggered a wide discussion in the market. This model not only has excellent performance and high-end configuration, but also carries the strategic intention of high-end brand, market expansion and technological innovation of Xiaomi automobile.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype, as a flagship model in Xiaomi SU7 plan, has remarkable performance parameters. According to related reports, the car is equipped with dual V8s+V6s three-motor all-wheel drive system, with an output power of 1,548 HP and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of only 1.97 seconds, which is comparable to many top-class supercars. At the same time, its braking system is also excellent, and the braking distance of 100-0km/h is only 25 meters, showing excellent handling performance. In addition, the body is made of carbon fiber, which not only greatly reduces the weight of the car, but also improves the handling and endurance, bringing drivers a more extreme driving experience.

The high performance of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype undoubtedly provides strong support for its high price. In the high-end electric vehicle market, consumers’ pursuit of performance is often directly proportional to the price. Therefore, from the point of view of product performance and configuration, it is reasonable to price 800,000 yuan.

In addition, Xiaomi has been committed to enhancing the high-end image of the brand. The launch of the high-priced Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype not only helps to consolidate Xiaomi’s position in the high-end market, but also enhances the overall value and influence of the brand. In the market competition pattern, there have been successful cases of high-priced models such as Tesla Model Slaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, indicating that consumers have a certain degree of acceptance for high-priced high-end electric vehicles. Therefore, Xiaomi’s introduction of high-priced models is also in line with the trend of market competition.

Goldman Sachs’ prediction of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype also provides a basis for market recognition for its high selling price. Goldman Sachs predicts that this model will sell 4,000 units in 2025, with an average price of 800,000 yuan. Although this is only a forecast, it also reflects the market’s expectation and recognition of the high price of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype to some extent.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype is not only a further promotion of the high-end strategy of its own brand, but also a strong impetus to the active expansion of market space and technological innovation. First of all, the introduction of high-priced models will help to enhance the brand image and overall value of Xiaomi Automobile. In the global automobile market, high-end brands often represent higher quality and technical level. Xiaomi can further enhance its popularity and influence in the global market by launching high-priced models.

Secondly, with the increasing awareness and acceptance of electric vehicles by consumers, the high-end electric vehicle market is gradually emerging. Xiaomi’s introduction of high-priced models will help to occupy a place in this emerging market, expand market space, and achieve sales growth and market share improvement.

Finally, high-priced models often need higher technical content and added value to support their selling prices. Therefore, Xiaomi’s launch of high-priced models will promote its research and development and innovation in core technology fields such as battery technology, drive system and intelligent driving. This will not only help to enhance the overall competitiveness of Xiaomi automobile, but also bring consumers a more advanced and intelligent driving experience.

Xiaomi will launch the SU7 Ultra Prototype with a price of 800,000 yuan. Although the pricing has not been officially confirmed, it is possible and reasonable to price it at 800,000 yuan in terms of product performance, high-end brand demand, market competition pattern and Goldman Sachs forecast. This move will have a positive impact on the brand image, market space and technological innovation of Xiaomi Automobile, and lay a solid foundation for the future development of Xiaomi Automobile.
