CCTV News:In the first quarter of this year, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade reached 9.89 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%. The import and export of foreign trade improved month by month and achieved a good start. The accumulated new advantages and the sustained growth of new kinetic energy have also made the foreign trade industry draw more surprising trajectories.

　　Starting today (April 20th), we will launch a series of reports on "New Routes of Foreign Trade", so as to follow the pace of foreign trade, embark on "new routes" and explore more possibilities along new directions. Today, first of all, focus on the "new three" products with outstanding export performance: electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells in new energy vehicles.

　　At noon, at the Haitong Wharf outside Shanghai, a car ro-ro ship slowly berthed, and one new energy vehicle sailed on board one after another, which was about to be sent to Thailand.

　　Zhong Xiaogang, head of customs affairs at BYD:There are two deliveries this week, and tomorrow we will also send 900 cars from here to Australia.

　　CCTV reporter lin li:This is a car yard about two kilometers away from the dock, and most of the exported cars will come here three to five days in advance. Just now, the staff made a simple calculation for me. At present, there are more than 10,000 cars waiting for export every day, of which about 40% are new energy vehicles.

　　Xie Xiaoqing, Director of SAIC International Purchasing Department:The growth rate of new energy (export) is still relatively large. In 2022, the proportion of new energy should be around 16%, and it may increase to nearly 25% in 2023.

　　Also hot is the export of lithium batteries. In a battery enterprise in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, a batch of lithium batteries are being packaged and will be sent to South Africa soon. The person in charge of the enterprise told the reporter that this year, overseas customers’ demand for household energy storage has further increased, so they have added a production line for lithium batteries.

　　Wang Shuai, Manager of Delivery Department of Lithium Battery Product Line of Shuangdeng Group Co., Ltd.:This year, our household energy storage output has gradually reached expectations, and the output has increased by more than 60% compared with the same period last year.

　　It is understood that clothing, furniture and household appliances were once called the "old three" in the foreign trade industry to promote export growth; Nowadays, while the "old three kinds" industries are constantly upgrading, the "new three kinds" have also sprung up: electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells in new energy vehicles have further enhanced the driving force for exports. According to customs statistics, in the first quarter of this year, the total export of "new three products" increased by 66.9%, with a year-on-year increase of more than 100 billion yuan, which increased the overall export growth rate by 2 percentage points.

　　Li Jirong, Deputy Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of Shanghai Customs:Our country has also made good use of the advantage that the traditional manufacturing industry chain is relatively close and the supporting facilities are relatively complete, and has quickly achieved very good advantages in the new three industries. In the first quarter of this year, the export of electric manned vehicles in Shanghai more than doubled year-on-year, the export of lithium-ion batteries increased by more than 200%, and the export of solar batteries also increased by 57%.

Writing is the foundation of civilization and an important symbol of human civilization. Chinese characters are the most important carrier to record and inherit Chinese culture, and they are the cultural ties to build the Chinese nation’s sense of community, which invisibly influences and shapes the Chinese nation’s ideas.

Chinese characters record Chinese culture.

Characters are symbols of recording languages. Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the Shang Dynasty, is the earliest systematic and mature script in China, and has been able to record Chinese completely. As an original script, before Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Chinese characters had a long development process. Academic circles have been concerned about the formation and development of Chinese characters. When did Chinese characters finally form a system that can completely record the language? Meng Weizhi thought it was early summer, while Qiu Xigui thought it was the time of Xia and Shang Dynasties. The theory of "one series of three generations of characters" should be credible. Huang Dekuan once advocated that the characters in the late Shang Dynasty should be taken as a reliable starting point, and traced back to the early period, so as to make a reasonable speculation on the whole Chinese characters in the Shang Dynasty. This change from known to unknown is indeed a possible path to explore the formation and development of early Chinese characters.

The formation and development of Chinese characters are of great significance and must be explored in depth. According to the literature, "Cang Xie wrote a book, but it rained heavily, and ghosts cried at night" ("Huai Nan Zi Ben Jing Xun"). As for whether Cang Xie, the historian of the Yellow Emperor, created Chinese characters, we don’t need to delve into it, but the emergence of Chinese characters is indeed an earth-shattering and weeping feat. Chinese characters are super-epochal, which can cross the time barrier, record the long history of the Chinese nation and bear the civilization of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years. Chinese characters are super-regional, which can cross spatial boundaries and maintain information communication in different dialect areas of ethnic families, and people living in different regions can communicate smoothly.

"Thousands of years in ancient and modern times, tens of thousands of miles." Chinese characters break through the limitation of time and space and completely record and inherit Chinese culture. In front of countless Chinese sons and daughters, she is undoubtedly a long bond, firmly casting the Chinese nation community.

Chinese characters contain cultural mysteries.

"Every painting is learned." Observing each Chinese character statically, its glyph itself accumulates the profound mystery of Chinese culture. "The single body is a text, and the combination is a word." "Wen" is a single character, and the glyph itself cannot be divided; "Zi" is a combined character, and the glyph can be subdivided. Therefore, the word "Wen" can only be said, but the word "Zi" can be interpreted, and the name "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" is sincere. Xu Shen, known as "the ancestor of literate Sect", has long understood the mystery of "writing".

The older the Chinese characters, especially the pre-Qin characters such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen, the stronger their pictographic or ideographic elements, so they contain more cultural information of the word-making era. For example, the word "rainbow" of a rainbow is shaped like a [~ symbol ~] in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which looks like two big worms winding down before and after. This is in line with the legend that the rainbow has two songs and can drink the water from rivers. It is recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions that "a rainbow comes from the north and drinks in the river" (Oracle Bone Inscriptions Collection 10405), to the effect that a rainbow comes out from the north and drinks in the river. The ancients could not give a scientific explanation for the natural phenomenon of rainbow in the sky, so they imagined it as a bug drinking water in a river. Later, the glyph evolved into a combined Chinese character. In Shuowen, it is a knowing word from insects to Shen (electricity), but most of the time it is a knowing word from insects, that is, the "rainbow" that is still in use today. However, in the silk script, there was once a glyph from the sound of rain workers. No matter from "Shen (electricity)" or "rain", it shows that the ancients have realized the relationship between rainbow and rain.

In fact, every Chinese character is a vivid existence of China culture. Through the typical Chinese character configuration related to human body, animals and plants, we can perceive the colorful world; Through the typical Chinese character configuration related to clothing, diet and living room, we can understand people’s basic necessities of life. Through the typical Chinese character configurations related to sacrifice, war and marriage, we can know people’s manners and customs. Through the typical Chinese character configuration related to national territory, land and clan, we can feel the feelings of Chinese sons and daughters about home and country.

The evolution of Chinese characters witnessed the cultural inheritance.

It is even more magical to observe Chinese characters dynamically. In the era of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Chinese characters have entered a mature stage. Then, it went through bronze inscriptions, bamboo slips and silk books, seal characters and currency characters. From seal script to official script, from official script to official script, until today, simplified Chinese characters have been followed for thousands of years. In the meantime, although the form of Chinese characters has been constantly changing, its basic system has always been maintained, and its evolution can be clearly found.

Most of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty carved with a knife, and a few wrote with a brush. It is time-consuming and laborious to carve words on Oracle bones, so it is necessary to change the circle into a square, to fill in the outline, and to change the thick pen into a fine pen. The difference between writing carrier and tools will have a great influence on the font. In order to facilitate writing communication, Oracle Bone Inscriptions has been simplified. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the characters were abnormal, the vulgar style was popular, and the simplification was prominent, which was a reflection of the great changes in economy, politics and culture at that time. The change of seal script into official script is the most important change in the evolution of Chinese characters. It makes Chinese characters change from characters that need to be drawn with the body into simple characters composed of straight strokes, which greatly improves the writing speed and contributes to cultural communication.

Chinese character recording language contains culture, and each glyph has its own times. "One word is a cultural history." Rich cultural connotation indicates that every Chinese character is a treasure that needs our efforts to develop. Strengthening the interpretation of Chinese characters, digging deep into the historical, ideological and cultural connotation behind Chinese characters, and refining and displaying the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture are not only the inevitable requirements for inheriting and developing Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also the proper meaning for enhancing the vitality and influence of Chinese culture.

This issue of the "Precision Frontier" column shared by Zhao Haitao’s research team published inGenome Medicine(IF =11.12) [1], a mutation signature was constructed and verified to predict the prognosis of patients receiving immunotherapy, and the potential immune response of different subtypes was studied by using multidimensional data.

Research background

Immunocheckpoint inhibitors (ICI) have changed the treatment of many cancers. However, the beneficiaries of ICI treatment are limited, so it is necessary to screen and predict biomarkers to classify patients. At present, many biomarkers, such as tumor mutation load (TMB), have been used as indicative biomarkers in clinic. However, some high TMB patients with gene mutation related to immunotherapy resistance are not sensitive to ICI treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to go beyond TMB and identify the specific genetic determinants of ICI treatment response.

research design

The study included genome and clinical data of 12,647 patients. There were 1572 cases in the training set (immunotherapy patients with 9 kinds of cancer) and 932 cases in the verification set (immunotherapy patients with 5 kinds of cancer). The training set was sequenced by MSK-IMPACT panel containing 468 genes.

The authors identified a set of 11 genes based on mutation, which can divide patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. The mutation of these 11 genes is related to the better response to ICI treatment, and this gene set has been proved to be an independent prognostic factor after ICI treatment.

research results

1. Identify mutant gene sets that can predict the outcome of immunotherapy.

Firstly, the survival differences of 468 genes in the training set were compared between wild type and mutant type, and 98 genes related to OS (global survival) were obtained. After that, LASSO COX regression analysis was further screened and 11 important genes were finally obtained. Through COX regression analysis, the risk score of each patient was quantified on the basis of 11 mutant gene sets. In the training concentration, the OS of patients in the high-risk group is shorter than that of patients in the low-risk group (Figure 1B). In order to study whether the gene set is limited to a specific population or suitable for different populations, the subgroup analysis regardless of age, drug use type and cancer species shows that the gene set is significantly related to the OS of patients treated with ICI (Figure 1C-E).

Figure 1. Generation and Verification of Gene Set Based on Mutation

2. Verification of predictable immunotherapy results

In order to further confirm the value of mutation-based gene set in predicting the results of immunotherapy, it was found that the OS of low-risk group was higher than that of high-risk group (Figure 1F). The research results of predicting ICI treatment response in gene set show that the DCB(durable clinical benefit) of ICI treatment in low-risk group is significantly increased compared with that in high-risk group (Figure 1G), and low-risk patients are more likely to respond to ICI treatment (Figure 1H). These results get the same results in the verification set (Figure 1I, J).

3. Gene set is an independent prognostic predictor of immunotherapy.

Next, the author verifies whether the gene set based on mutation is an independent predictor of immunotherapy response. In the training and validation set, univariate COX regression analysis showed that the gene set was related to OS. After adjusting for drug type, tumor type and TMB, multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the gene set was still an independent predictor, which confirmed the stability of its independent prediction of ICI prognosis (Figure 2A, B). In order to determine which factor has the best predictive performance, C-index is used to compare the performance of mutation-based gene sets with TMB and drug types. The results of C-index show that the gene set based on mutation can predict the prognosis more accurately than TMB and drug type in both training set and validation set (Figure 2C, D).

Fig. 2. Relationship between mutation-based gene sets and other characteristics

4. The clinical benefit of ICI treatment can be predicted based on the mutant gene set, disease stage, CTL and 6-IFN-g gene signature.

Considering the stage of disease, CTL and 6-gene IFN-g signature have been proved to be highly predictive of the response to ICI treatment, the authors speculate that they may play a synergistic role in predicting the response to immunotherapy. The author combined the gene set based on mutation with disease stage, CTL and 6-gene IFN-g signature through Nomotograph, and provided a method for clinicians to quantitatively predict the OS of patients treated by ICI. Fig. 2E is the nomogram of Riaz cohort construction, and the calibration curve of fig. 2F shows the consistency of actual and predicted results, indicating that these signature should be integrated into the predicted nomogram of ICI treatment.

5. Potential external immune landscape of high and low risk groups

In order to further explore the relationship between immune system and mutation-based gene set, the authors conducted a multi-group analysis of TCGA cohort, and the risk score divided TCGA cohort into high and low risk groups (Figure 3A). At the genome level, the proportion of white blood cells, lymphocytes and TIL in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (Figure 3B-D). The H&E staining results of TIL ratio are consistent with the above results (Figure 3E). In addition, the proportion of immunostimulatory cells (such as CD8 T cells) in the low-risk group is also significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (Figure 3F). The above results were further tested by Danaher et al.’ s immune infiltration score (figure 3G) and immune characteristic score (figure 3H), and it was found that the abundance of immune cells in low-risk group was higher. Then unsupervised clustering was used to cluster the immune characteristic scores of patients in TCGA cohort, and the results were clustered into two immune infiltration modes (Figure 3I), and the high immune infiltration was significantly enriched in the low-risk group (Figure 3J).

Fig. 3. Immune status of high and low risk population in TCGA cohort.

In addition, the immune signature in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that in the adjacent cancer tissue; On the contrary, the immune signature in the high-risk group was significantly lower than that in the adjacent tissues (Figure 4A). The correlation of immune activity in low-risk group was significantly higher than that in high-risk group (Figure 4B, C). GSEA results showed that 13 pathways were significantly enriched in the low-risk group, including 6 immune-related pathways, such as "cytotoxicity mediated by natural killer cells" (Figure 4D). Tumors in the low-risk group are associated with significantly higher CYT scores, and the number of fibroblasts in the high-risk group is now increasing (Figure 4E, F). According to these results, the low-risk group is rich in immune cells, which can respond to ICI treatment, and fibroblasts may help the high-risk group escape. The expression of chemokines in the low-risk group is higher (Figure 4G, H), so the author speculates that the enrichment of chemokines in the low-risk group may trigger an immune response.

Figure 4. Potential external immune landscape of high and low risk groups　

6. Potential inherent immune landscape of high and low risk groups

Some potential factors determining tumor immunogenicity between the two groups were compared. Mutation, new antigen load, TCR and BCR diversity in low-risk group were significantly higher than those in high-risk group, but CNV load and aneuploidy in high-risk group were higher than those in low-risk group (Figure 5A). This result is consistent with previous studies, that is, tumor aneuploidy is related to immunotherapy and decreased immune escape marker response. In addition, the heterogeneity of tumor in high-risk group is higher than that in low-risk group, which further supports the view that tumor will promote the development of heterogeneity in the presence of cytolytic activity and less active infiltration of immune cells. In order to further understand the mutation process of high and low risk groups, the mutation characteristics were described according to somatic mutation data, and four different mutation patterns were determined in TCGA cohort (Figure 5B). The frequency of these four mutation signals in the low-risk group is significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (Figure 5C). In addition, it was also found that immune checkpoint molecules (such as PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA4) and costimulatory molecules were more highly expressed in the low-risk group (Figure 5E).

Figure 5. Potential innate immune response and escape landscape in high and low risk groups.　

7. Copy number characteristics of high and low risk groups

Significant differences in chromosome variation were detected in high and low risk groups (fig. 6A). Local amplification peaks of immune genes with good characteristics, such as PD-L1 (9p24.1) and PD-L2 (9p24.1), were observed in the low-risk group (fig. 6B, C). GO function annotation of the specifically amplified genes showed that the low-risk group was significantly enriched in two immune-related biological processes, while the high-risk group was significantly enriched in the biological process of "positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation", but not in any immune-related biological processes (Figure 6E). At the level of mRNA expression in TCGA cohort, the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 mRNA in low-risk group increased significantly (Figure 6G), which was consistent with CNV data. This finding suggests that CNVs in tumor contributes to the observed difference in immune infiltration.

discuss

This study is the first time to use an independent cohort to study the comprehensive mutant gene sets of different tumor types. Through PSM algorithm, hierarchical analysis and multivariate COX regression analysis, the application performance of mutation-based gene sets in different types of tumors was tested, and the results showed that mutation-based gene sets were reliable.

This study has the following innovation and practical application value. First, different types of tumors (such as NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer), melanoma and renal cell carcinoma) are used, which represent the most common types of cancer treated with ICI. Secondly, the application of multiple biomarker prediction model needs to understand the factors that affect the accuracy and precision of Qualcomm analysis in clinical practice. The risk score formula and threshold of mRNA expression calculation are not suitable for verification with other types of data. Therefore, this study developed a gene set based on mutation to predict the clinical efficacy of ICI treatment. The composition of the above mutations is neither affected by tissue types nor adjusted by any other biomarkers. The risk score formula and threshold of gene set based on mutation can be verified by other tumor analysis methods, such as DNA sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphism microarray analysis. Therefore, mutation-based gene sets are not affected by technological changes, even when different platforms are used in different centers. Thirdly, in practice, gene sets based on mutations avoid exposing patients to potential immune-related adverse reactions when they are unlikely to respond, and enable patients to match to potentially more effective treatments more quickly. Fourthly, the prediction performance of gene set based on mutation is compared with other factors that can predict immunotherapy, and it is found that the prediction performance of gene set based on mutation is better than all these factors.

Several limitations of this study. First of all, because some mutations may be enriched in some tumor types, the initial goal of this study is to create a panel instead of identifying a single gene (such as BRAF), because the former can contain more genes to predict the prognosis of different types of tumors. Secondly, although the immune landscape of 11 genes in the gene set based on mutation has been explored, it is still necessary to clarify the molecular mechanism of each gene affecting immunotherapy in vivo and in vitro functional experiments. Thirdly, the enrichment scores of carcinogenic pathways and the expression patterns of immune checkpoints should also be detected by immunohistochemistry.

tag

The mutation-based gene set proposed in this study is the first comprehensive genomic marker systematically identified, which can be used to evaluate the ICI treatment effect of pan-cancer species. This study is also the largest prognostic model discovery project for cancer patients receiving ICI treatment (whether single drug treatment or combined treatment of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4). Nomoto, which combines mutation-based gene set with TMB and drug types, can help clinicians choose patients who may have a strong response to ICI treatment. In addition, it also reveals the different immune conditions of high and low risk groups, and specific genomic changes may drive the formation of these microenvironments. In a word, this work puts forward a new tumor classification method, which may guide the decision-making of ICI treatment.　END

Agricultural and rural departments at all levels, grain and reserve departments should immediately, jointly with market supervision departments and news propaganda departments, incorporate indicators such as heavy metals and mycotoxins into food inspection projects, strengthen food quality inspection, strictly control food quality, timely control and cut off the problem food sources in the affected areas, and carry out alternative food source supply; Timely release relevant information, including crisis cause analysis, problem grain source control, quality monitoring, etc., to convey correct public opinion guidance to the society.

　　Sudden public health events triggered a state of food emergency,It refers to the short-term food emergency caused by public health emergencies, and the staged, local supply shortage and sharp increase in food prices in the grain market caused by panic buying by the masses. The response measures focus on ensuring supply. The development and reform departments at all levels, the grain and reserve departments, together with the commercial departments and the market supervision departments, should first stabilize the grain market supply and market expectations, dispatch and increase the supply of finished grain in shortage areas, timely release the information on grain market supply and stabilize market expectations; Secondly, do a good job in monitoring and early warning of food prices and stocks, timely grasp the emergency resources and emergency capabilities of food emergency processing enterprises, supply outlets, storage and transportation enterprises, and open the fast track of emergency food transportation.

　　Sudden public health incidents triggered a long-term state of food emergency (generally more than 15 days), resulting in increased panic among the masses, continuous shortage of food market supply, and sharp rise in food prices. The response measures focus on expanding emergency processing and production, increasing the distribution capacity of dispatching transportation enterprises, and maintaining the continuous and stable supply of supply outlets. The grain and reserve departments at all levels shall, jointly with the transportation departments, do a good job in tracking and monitoring the grain emergency processing capacity, distribution capacity and inventory of outlets, continuously open the fast-track of emergency grain transportation, timely announce the production capacity of enterprises and the market supply guarantee, stabilize the grain market supply and expectation, prevent supply interruption, and timely start the grain emergency plan at the corresponding level.

　　Special circumstances trigger a state of food emergency,It means that when the grain production is reduced due to special circumstances such as large amount of cultivated land and serious shortage of water resources, which leads to abnormal fluctuation of the grain market due to local imbalance of grain supply in the province, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Grain and Material Reserve Bureau and the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs report the relevant situation to the provincial grain emergency command mechanism and the provincial people’s government, and carry out emergency supply capacity assessment for full-caliber grain stocks in all regions of the province at the current stage, and organize grain allocation in a timely manner according to the degree of emergency and the strength of support capacity to stabilize supply and stabilize food prices.

　　What is the most tearful thing these days? Nothing is more than "the head is not bald yet, and the cervical vertebrae are collapsed first." Low-headed people don’t hurry to touch their back necks. Is your cervical vertebra okay? As a "senior" patient with cervical spondylosis, the reporter also groped for a long time on the road to saving cervical vertebrae and tried many methods, but compared with this netizen, the reporter sighed! How hard they have worked to treat cervical spondylosis! Take a quick look at their fancy self-help method.

　　Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist Wang Yun

　　Netizens share neck brace, traction and massage … … Evaluation of cervical self-help artifact

　　Artifact 1: Neck Bracket

　　"I think this kind of thing should have one person." Netizen Elly introduced her new good product to her colleagues: neck support. According to the photo, this neck brace looks like an advanced version of the "neck collar". The professional term is an ergonomic curved neck strap, which can adjust the neck circumference according to the thickness of one’s neck and has the effect of supporting decompression.

　　Netizen Elly said that when she first wore it, she felt a little uncomfortable and needed to hold it all the time, but she got used to it after two days of adaptation. "It is very light and small, and the fabric is quite comfortable. Wearing it can play a role of reminding, like holding the back of the head with one hand. I feel that this is also conducive to opening the shoulders, and it will not put any pressure on the cervical vertebrae and shoulders for one day."

　　Artifact 2: Traction Pillow

　　"Torturing my cervical spondylosis and neck pain, it’s much better to use a traction pillow!" A netizen said that his cervical spine was particularly sore because he often played mobile phones, and there was a "rich bag" that affected his posture. After trying the traction pillow, he felt more relaxed and comfortable.

　　The reporter found that the traction pillow is different from the advertised sleeping pillow for repairing cervical vertebrae. It is not used for sleeping, but for going to bed. This kind of product claims that it only takes a few minutes every day to lie down gently and bid farewell to cervical discomfort. It uses the gravity of the head to pull the cervical vertebra and guide the cervical vertebra to return to a healthy curvature. The slightly advanced one also has a heating function.

　　Artifact 3: Cervical Vertebral Instrument

　　"We are bald for a while, overworked for a while, and we have to soak Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup for a while … …” A netizen laughed at himself. It is nothing new to feel that the post-90s generation is full of problems. Now the neck has become a key protection object. The artifact she recommended is a cervical vertebra instrument, which looks like a big crab pliers and is covered with bumps. This kind of product is not electric massage, but self-weight massage.

　　"This massager really pinpoints the sore point on the cervical vertebra. Lying on it for ten minutes every day with arm exercise is really sour and refreshing, especially relaxing the trapezius muscle." Netizens share their own experience and recommend it to cervical vertebra patients with shoulder and neck pain.

　　Artifact 4: Foam Axis

　　"I want to announce that the foam shaft is an artifact of cervical spondylosis, which really saved my cervical discomfort tonight." A netizen shared her newly discovered artifact to save cervical vertebra — — Foam shaft, "can make you really relax in an instant, feel much more comfortable, at least not painful."

　　She also shared the use of foam shaft to relieve cervical pain: the whole body lies flat and relaxes, the foam shaft is placed on the pillow, and the head is slightly twisted left and right. You can feel the pain in the acupoints below the back of your head, and you will relax a lot after rolling.

　　Artifact 5: Cervical traction chair

　　Do you still remember the "hanging" cervical exercise method created by aunts and uncles? On the big trees in the park, they hang their heads on the trees, swing and shake their bodies rhythmically, and some can even keep their feet off the ground. It is precisely because of the strange style of painting that it once occupied the hot search list. However, what I want to talk about here is of course not this kind of "hanging by hanging", but netizens directly buy "cervical traction chair" and treat it by hanging their necks at home. "The advantage is that it is uncomfortable. I can use it at home at any time. I have used it for more than a dozen times in a row and feel that my shoulders and neck are much easier." Some netizens commented on the use experience.

　　The reporter searched on the shopping website and found that there are quite a few hospitals with the same model, and the sales volume is also good. Many of them advertised "solving the fundamental problem of cervical vertebrae". The reporter noticed that these traction chair are even more luxurious than those in hospitals, and many of them are more comfortable to sit for a long time with sofa-class seats; Can adjust the lever by itself, which can be long or short; Even the traction belt is widened and thickened, which can be adjusted according to the face shape.

　　Expert’s opinion, the good habit of "looking up at the sky" may be the best artifact.

　　So many artifacts to save the cervical vertebra, which one is useful? The reporter found an interesting phenomenon. Whenever a netizen shares his "self-help artifact", there are different opposition voices underneath. For example, although the neck brace recommended by the above netizens is good for their own use, some people use their own failure examples to suggest that those people with poor cervical vertebrae can’t wear it for a long time, which will make the neck muscles lose their self-regulation ability.

　　Just like a netizen accidentally revealed the "truth" — — "If there are such artifacts, the topic of cervical spondylosis will not exist!"

　　Tian Jiwei, chief medical officer of Deyu Medical, vice president of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital and director of the Orthopedic Center, pointed out that cervical spondylosis is a syndrome concept, and most people do not need surgery after suffering from cervical spondylosis. "In clinic, less than 10% of patients really need surgery, which means that 90% of patients can achieve good results through conservative treatment, and even play a preventive role."

　　For a variety of therapeutic artifacts such as cervical pillows on the market, he also reminded that they may not play a therapeutic role.

　　How to prevent cervical spondylosis? It is very simple. First of all, we should reduce the inactivity that lasts for a long time. "If an action lasts for three hours, our cervical vertebrae will degenerate and strain, and long-term degeneration and strain will induce the proliferation, bulging and protrusion of intervertebral discs, and finally induce cervical spondylosis." Tian Jiwei said that for the "low-headed people" who use mobile phones and computers for a long time, they should get into the habit of looking up at the sky and rest for 15 minutes after a continuous action for two hours. "This will restore our physiological curvature without further aggravation."

　　Tian Jiwei believes that in the conservative treatment methods that cervical vertebra patients can try, besides changing posture regularly at work, exercise is also very important. Gentle neck movement and upper limb movement are beneficial to the relaxation of neck and shoulder muscles and improve blood circulation, and mild cervical spondylosis will be improved. "But not all sports are suitable. Swimming and flying kites are the sports that patients with cervical spondylosis can choose. These two exercises are effective for the recovery of cervical physiological curvature, the repair of cervical intervertebral disc and the prevention of the deterioration of cervical spondylosis. "

　　Xinhua Online Hai, August 14th (Reporter He Xinrong, Joline) The home is too messy, please ask someone to help you "break away"; Running at night, there are people who accompany the guidance; I can’t find bike-sharing when I go out, and someone will come and put it in a few days … … Have you ever thought that there are rich new job opportunities behind these increasingly familiar scenes?

　　It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing too fast. The surging new economy makes the definition of "work" richer and more exciting. More and more post-80s and post-90s have started different careers. While showing personality, it also brings more vitality to society.

　　The Magic of New Economy: From 360 Lines to 3600 Lines

　　Bike-sharing operator, shared office housekeeper, credit manager, quantitative trader, fashion blogger, family organizer, food stylist, escort runner, genetic tester, UP owner, drone trainer & HELIP; … The degree of "brain holes" in new occupations is beyond imagination.

　　Rome was not built in a day, and new occupations did not emerge overnight. The booming new economy in recent years is a fertile ground for these new occupations.

　　Although there is no accurate official definition, the coverage of "new economy" is very extensive. It not only refers to internet plus, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other emerging industries and formats in the tertiary industry, but also includes intelligent manufacturing and mass customization production in industry, and also involves family farms in the primary industry, and the integrated development of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

　　In the past two years, the "new economy" has accelerated its growth, showing amazing "magic power": China’s employment indicators (including newly employed population, survey unemployment rate, etc.) rank first among 63 major economies in the world, while the macroeconomic growth rate is slowing down.

　　There is no doubt that the "new occupation" spawned by the "new economy" has absorbed a large number of employed people. The constantly updated list of national vocational qualifications shows that the number of jobs is moving from the original 360 to the new 3600. More and more people are creating new values for society while releasing their individuality.

　　Five rules of new career: see how many you have.

　　It is precisely because it resonates with the new economy at the same frequency that new occupations that look colorful actually have rules to follow. If you don’t want to be bound by the "cubicle", you may wish to refer to the following five rules:

　　[Internet Gene] The sharing economy has created operators, shared office housekeepers and shared house landlords in bike-sharing, while the platform economy has brought car drivers, couriers and take-away workers. Nowadays, most of the hottest entrepreneurial fields have Internet genes. With the Internet "connecting everything", people’s "career map" is being refreshed rapidly.

　　The current Internet applications are mainly concentrated in the fields of consumption and services. With the Internet becoming an infrastructure like hydropower and coal, and expanding to manufacturing and agriculture, new jobs with Internet genes will continue to emerge.

　　Su Hainan, vice president of china association for labour studies, said that the new occupation in the Internet era has some new features. If the task is fragmented, the working hours are not fixed; Diversified labor relations, such as the traditional employment relationship between platform and employees; Products and services are personalized, and labor output is more suitable for the specific needs of consumers.

　　[Subdivide and subdivide] A food can’t be nutritious, but it must be delicious. It’s not good just to eat, but to look good. As a result, the food stylist was born gorgeous. It must be said that the escalating demand of consumers has created new occupations in many seemingly inconspicuous segments.

　　"Professional people do professional things", with the east wind of consumption upgrading, new demands are constantly being stimulated: running and exercising with runners, traveling in personal tailor … … Because of China’s huge domestic demand market, any small demand may contain infinite potential.

　　[People behind "Nobody"] Unmanned driving, unmanned supermarket, drone delivery … … The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology makes the concept of "nobody" hot, and also makes many people worry that they will become a "useless" class. The statement that "50% of jobs will disappear in the next decade" has scared many fragile hearts.

　　In fact, no matter how developed artificial intelligence is and how many "unmanned" technologies are, there are still people behind it who are studying and manipulating it. However, their work changed from being in front of the stage to being behind the scenes. Tommy, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, said that in the long run, the employment brought by science and technology is far greater than unemployment. Take artificial intelligence for example, the algorithm engineer behind it is now in a state of extreme shortage. Instead of worrying about being replaced in the future, it is better to charge it now.

　　[Hobby is work] A few years ago, the old people would say, "Humor can’t be a meal", and no one regarded "telling jokes" as a job. Nowadays, "Duan Zishou" has really appeared. A few years ago, it was just a pastime to like the secondary culture and be good at making barrage videos. Today, the studio of "UP Master" has completed commercial realization in the real world of three dimensions.

　　Turning hobbies into jobs has become a new choice for many post-90s and post-90s. There are not so many instructions, and there is no strict index assessment. I do things with interest and "make money by playing." Therefore, parents who are eager to enroll their children in extracurricular training classes should see how important it is to respect their children’s nature and cultivate their interests!

　　[Rejuvenation of old crafts] It sounds that new occupations are often related to new knowledge and new skills? It’s not exactly like this. People always have some urgent needs, such as eating. From the ancient skilled worker to the modern chef, the professional "vest" is changing, but the core of pursuing delicious food has not changed.

　　Therefore, in the era of vigorous development of the new economy, the story of "rejuvenation of old crafts" has been staged again and again, even more moist than before. Bike-sharing is on fire, which has ruined the manufacturing workshop and the mechanic. There are fewer tailors on the street, but the old masters who come to order are popular. Once regarded as an unpopular veterinary graduate, she is now a pet beautician in MengMeng … … Society will not mistreat people with skills.

　　New employment concept: the boundary between white collar with gold collar and blue collar with gray collar is blurring.

　　The new economy gives birth to new occupations, and new occupations bring new employment concepts. In the past, people habitually divided their occupations into gold collar, white collar, gray collar and blue collar according to the working environment and income. Nowadays, more and more people find that the boundaries between these "collars" are becoming increasingly blurred.

　　"I earn 15,000 yuan a month. Will I lose this job for a gift of 2,000 yuan?" A few years ago, the story of a SF Express courier "getting angry" in a white-collar office was circulated around the Internet. Between words, full of professional pride. According to the traditional concept, the courier is a "blue-collar" position, which can make the courier stand at the scene of the bell ringing ceremony of listed companies due to the rapid growth of social demand and increasing technical content.

　　In the interview, the reporter was also exposed to many touching stories. Han Yien, a 28-year-old lawyer, was a financial company in Lujiazui, Shanghai. When she switched to be a home organizer, her mother cried. Because in the eyes of the older generation, this is a job of "serving people". But after more than two years of accumulation, Han Yien made a name for himself in the circle. Not only on-site service, but also receiving students and giving lectures, the "Qian Jing" is quite impressive. More and more elders gradually understand and recognize her choice of "not doing housework".

　　From farming society, industrial society, information society and intelligent age, the development of new technology has rapidly changed the traditional labor pattern. When mobile payment replaces cashier, artificial intelligence replaces repetitive workers, just as car drivers replaced coachmen.

　　It can be predicted that in the future, the social division of labor will become more and more detailed and the occupations will become more and more diversified. "Tall" jobs, such as investment bank traders, may be replaced by artificial intelligence if they don’t work hard. And more jobs without innate aura can live a wonderful life as long as they are willing to make sincere efforts.

　　The future has come. Embrace the new economy and fall in love with the new occupation. You, are you ready?

　　How do new Chinese immigrants overcome the difficulty of studying?

　　When new Chinese immigrants come to foreign countries and work hard, it is often difficult to take care of their children’s studies. In recent years, some young Chinese immigrants have gone abroad to study, but they are also faced with challenges such as different study environments in foreign countries and family financial difficulties, resulting in some dropouts. Let the children of new immigrants and young new immigrants better integrate into the new learning environment and ensure their academic success, which requires better home-school cooperation and better system design at the social level.

　　It is not common to play truant and work.

　　When new Chinese immigrants first arrive in the United States, they face many difficulties, and the education of their children is one of them.

　　According to the US "World Journal" report, due to the large number of young shop assistants recruited by Chinese restaurants and retail stores in new york, the problem of many new immigrant Chinese students dropping out of school is more serious.

　　According to Zhao Hongfang, a bilingual psychological counselor at Jiangbang High School in Flushing, some Chinese students are in Internet cafes all day and night. When they are familiar with the store, they actually help to watch the store at night. When asked by their parents how they have money to spend, they lie about working after class.

　　Some Chinese students don’t get along well with their parents, so they moved out at the age of 17 and watched the shop at night to earn living expenses. In particular, the owners of new Chinese restaurants in Flushing are looking for young clerks who know English, attracting a large number of dropouts. The school said that they would go to the restaurant to bring these students back.

　　However, the lack of diplomas will only bring more difficulties for new immigrants to seek a living in the United States in the future. According to the report, a survey in new york in 2015 showed that the annual salary of those without a high school diploma was only $21,121, those with a high school diploma was $31,038 and those with a bachelor’s degree was about $60,000.

　　It is worth noting that although new Chinese immigrants have played truant, worked or even dropped out of school, this is not the norm.

　　In an interview with this newspaper, Liang Guanjun, chairman of the American East Asian Association, believes that some students in every school play truant or drop out of school for some reason. "Flushing is so big, and employment opportunities are still limited. We can only say that this phenomenon exists among the new immigrants in new york, but the size of the’ large number’ in the report is debatable."

　　Even so, the difficulty in adapting to new Chinese immigrants still needs attention.

　　Inadvertence in discipline and difficulty in adaptation

　　Different from the "Chinese" born and raised in the United States, behind the new Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to work and play truant is the helplessness of their families’ inability to discipline and adapt to the environment.

　　"This is an old problem, which exists in big cities in the east and west of the United States and is quite difficult to solve." Chinese lawyer Sun Lantao said in an interview with this newspaper that Chinese in the United States often choose school districts to send their children to school. All the above phenomena occur in bad school districts. There, parents are forced to survive, sometimes working hard for 12 hours every day, and have no time to ask about their children’s learning. Children’s own English is not enough, and they are under bilingual pressure, so they are discouraged and unwilling to learn.

　　For new immigrant students, the financial hardship of their families is also a major incentive to play truant and work. "Nowadays, in the United States, it is not easy for restaurants to recruit people, so the salaries are relatively high." Liang Guanjun introduced that the monthly salary of Flushing Restaurant is about 2,800 dollars, which attracts students who can’t go on studying, and there are also cases where individual families have financial difficulties and need their children to make money.

　　The educational environment and allocation of educational resources in American society are also very different from those in China.

　　Sun Lantao introduced that the US Constitution and the constitutions of all states stipulate that any school-age children must receive compulsory education before the age of 18, regardless of whether they or their parents have immigration status. That is to say, even the children of illegal immigrants, as long as they are school-age children, no matter where they live, public schools must accept them and must not refuse them to go to school on the grounds of poor English and insufficient test scores. However, at the implementation level, the imbalance of educational resources has greatly reduced the effect of ensuring the enrollment rate of immigrant children.

　　"American culture is different from that of China, where the whole people attach importance to education. Ordinary public schools often have poor basic education. Psychological counseling and bilingual guidance advocated by the education department cannot be put in place at all because of the lack of human resources. " Sun Taotao introduced.

　　The negligence of family discipline and the difference of social environment bring poor communication between home and school, which eventually leads to inefficiency in the academic management cooperation of new immigrant children. "Chinese immigrants, Chinese new immigrants, survival is a problem, and the language is unreasonable. I don’t know how to start." Sun Lantao said that the communication information between parents and school teachers is seriously poor, which reduces the effectiveness of cooperation between schools and parents.

　　Multi-party cooperation to promote studies together

　　How to help new Chinese immigrants better integrate into the new learning environment and ensure their enrollment rate? Experts said that the joint efforts and effective cooperation of all parties are needed.

　　On the one hand, new immigrant families need to integrate into the new study environment more actively. Cai Wenyao, consultant of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said in an interview with this newspaper: "Children need to get out of the comfort zone and consult more local students. Parents can also make good use of community resources and communicate with other immigrant parents who have experienced difficult stages instead of resting on their laurels."

　　At the same time, home and school also need to better cooperate, psychologically appease their children, and more effectively prevent students who want to skip classes and work from drilling loopholes in the system.

　　In an interview with the World Journal, Zhao Hongfang said that parents can take the initiative to provide contact information to the school and learn to check attendance records and grades online. If parents leave their children completely unattended, the school can report it and ask the Children’s Service Administration to intervene in the investigation.

　　On the other hand, the society can also make efforts in promoting the children of Chinese new immigrants to study.

　　"In a short time, it is still a luxury to solve the problem of young Chinese immigrants going to school." Lawyer Sun Lantao said that despite this, from the legislative point of view, with the increasing proportion of Chinese in politics, this phenomenon will attract the attention of political circles, and the education department will also strengthen investment in this group and training bilingual teachers. With the increase of corresponding educational resources and infrastructure, the current situation may gradually change.

On April 25th, the 21st Shanghai Auto Show will be grandly opened at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai). With the theme of "Embrace innovation and win the future", this year’s auto show will be full of heavy new cars, Xiaomi’s first SUV, the first fuel car equipped with Huawei Gankun Zhijia and comfortable seats, or will be officially unveiled/pre-sold for the first time. And BYD, which has already started pre-sale, or will be officially listed, which one is your expectation?

Xiaomi YU7

To be honest, our great success is not only a miracle of China auto market, but also unprecedented even if we look at the global market. In the case that Xiaomi SU7 has exploded, the attention of Xiaomi YU7 belonging to SUV category is even higher. On the appearance level, it basically continues the style of Xiaomi SU7, but incorporates more aerodynamic design. The highly acclaimed Saturn-ring penetrating taillight has also made design changes that are more suitable for SUV posture. The body size has reached 4999/1996/1600(1608)mm, the wheelbase is 3000mm, and it is positioned for medium and large SUVs. In terms of power and battery life, Xiaomi YU7 offers a variety of options, among which the dual-motor high-power version is 508kW, and the maximum battery life is 820km, which will also become Tesla’s biggest rival. However, for Xiaomi, the most urgent problem to be solved at present is the production capacity. The maximum production scheduling time of Xiaomi SU7 has been more than forty weeks, and SUV is obviously more popular. Xiaomi YU7 may be longer, and it is not impossible to pick up the car even after one year.

Cctv newsOn the afternoon of May 24th, Beijing held the 344th press conference on epidemic prevention and control to introduce the situation and answer questions from reporters. Wu Hao, head of the expert group of the community prevention and control group of the leading group for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, Beijing, gave epidemic prevention tips to the citizens when they went shopping in supermarkets, vegetable markets and other places. He said that supermarkets, vegetable markets and other public places are relatively closed, people are easy to gather, and there is a great risk of epidemic spread, which is the focus and difficulty of community epidemic prevention and control. In the past, many epidemics were spread and infected in these places.

It is necessary to strictly implement the epidemic prevention management in public places. Under the current situation that the social situation is not completely cleared, citizens should strictly do personal protection when going shopping, and prepare protective equipment such as masks and disinfectants. It is best to list the purchase list in advance and strictly control the number of people who go out to purchase. It is recommended that infants and the elderly try not to participate in shopping. Choose the nearest shopping spot, travel at the wrong peak, and try to avoid taking public transport. It is recommended to choose travel modes such as self-driving, cycling and walking.

When entering the vegetable market, supermarkets and other public places, you should cooperate with epidemic prevention measures such as temperature measurement and code inspection, wear a mask all the time, avoid pulling down the mask to communicate with the stall owner or taste food, and do not touch your eyes, mouth and nose directly with your hands. You should quickly select materials according to the list to minimize the stay time. Don’t go to the shelves and stalls where people gather, try to choose self-checkout and contactless payment to keep a safe social distance of more than one meter from others.

After purchasing, the used masks should be put into the relevant trash can, and hand disinfection should be done in time. If the packaging is suspected of being contaminated, disinfection should be done.

Editor’s Note: This article comes from the Business Review of Entrepreneurial State column. Author: Harris, general manager of Ningbo New Oriental Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., author of Cross-border E-commerce 3.0 Times.

As a senior entrepreneur in the field of cross-border foreign trade and e-commerce, my entrepreneurial experience has exceeded 14 years in 2020, and I personally experienced SARS in 2003. Therefore, I have deep experience and many feelings about the operational difficulties brought by the ongoing new pneumonia epidemic to small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.

At the same time, as a business operator for 14 years, he has his own thoughts on how enterprises face adversity and how entrepreneurs overcome it. Therefore, writing this article, I hope I can bring you a little value and enlightenment.

In the past few days, I have seen many complaining articles of big coffee in the circle of friends. The most widely circulated one should be the "frankness" of Jia Guolong, chairman of Xibei Catering.

He said that at present, more than 400 Xibeimen stores in more than 60 cities across the country have basically closed down, leaving only more than 100 take-away businesses. He predicted that the company would lose 700-800 million yuan in revenue in one month before and after the Spring Festival. Even if the company lends money to pay wages, it may not last for three months …

Under the epidemic situation, most industries seem to be wailing.

As a start-up enterprise, we are also experiencing the operating pressure brought by the pneumonia epidemic, and also have our own business thinking and experience.

I will truly present the business situation and sales model of an ordinary small and medium-sized enterprise under the epidemic situation, and hope that some of our practices can bring more entrepreneurs thinking.

We are a foreign trade cross-border e-commerce entrepreneurial enterprise, and the categories we currently operate are handicraft toys and pet series.

Our sales are basically through online mode. Overseas markets mainly sell through Alibaba International Station, AliExpress and Amazon platforms, while domestic markets sell through e-commerce platforms such as 1688, Taobao, Tmall, JD.COM and Pinduoduo.

Since February 3, we have fully entered the working state. The working mode we choose is online work, and remote collaboration is carried out through Alibaba nail and WeChat group. In the foreign trade circle, the SOHO model has always existed, so our team is very familiar with online office and the efficiency is very high.

Our sales department has counted the current sales data and trends of the company. In addition to the short-term fluctuation of sales data of cross-border retail platforms, domestic retail sales have increased, and it is expected that there will be a sales peak after the fifteenth day of the first month. We are also optimistic about the sales data of domestic e-commerce channels in 2020.

Therefore, under the pressure of this pneumonia epidemic, our company’s overall sales are good, and its work efficiency is also very high. Not only has it not been affected, it is likely to usher in a high-speed development period.

We have a community of 70,000 entrepreneurs. For business and economic impact, everyone is struggling these days. Many people are very pessimistic and even plan to give up their startups. Many people have also asked me why your company’s operation is relatively healthy and even can continue to develop at a high speed under such an epidemic.

First of all, I think we are just an ordinary foreign trade venture, but we did do something right, and I have always adhered to my business philosophy.

I have always believed that the higher an enterprise’s Internet level, the higher its IT level, the more dominant it is in the crisis, and the better its business operation.

1. Online and digital sales channels.

As an entrepreneur of Alibaba’s ecosystem, all our channels are online.

The reason why our domestic retail data continues to grow is because the residential economy has become the mainstream under the epidemic.

Everyone stays at home and never goes out. Once the express logistics is restored, the demand for online procurement will naturally erupt unprecedentedly, so we are not worried about the sales data at all.

We have a DIY sailboat model product, which has been selling flat for some time. Recently, this toy turned out to be an explosive product against the trend, and it sold well in Tmall and 1688.

Our sales team communicated with the buyers. It turns out that at the moment of the epidemic, many people stay at home, and urban white-collar workers have the habit and trend of DIY making toys, so buy a DIY sailing model toy and experience the fun of doing it quietly at home.

The sales team summarizes itself. Under the omni-channel online mode, we are most likely to perceive consumers’ trends and consumption ideas.

Internet genes make a traditional manufacturing enterprise like us have super-sensitive market sense and perception ability, which makes the enterprise more competitive and flexible in the crisis.

2. Short video marketing is more active.

As the epidemic continues, everyone stays at home, and Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and bilibili have become the main forms of entertainment for many people, so short video marketing is naturally more popular.

We laid out short video marketing at the end of 2018, and there are corresponding teams working on platforms such as Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and bilibili, so our marketing data is not affected by the epidemic at all.

Our DIY toy models all need video tutorials. The young company will make their own toy models after 90 s and 00 s, and then post the videos on the platform.

Not only that, they will also interpret some short video stories and integrate the products well. For example, a girl bought a DIY model toy for a boy, and then a love story happened. These short videos have always been very popular.

The persistence of this epidemic has brought continuous traffic growth to these short-sighted frequency bands, which will naturally lead to our sales platform, and the sales data of DIY model toys will soar accordingly.

3. Cash flow has strong backing.

Judging from the current epidemic development, the impact on the operation of startup companies may be more than three months or even longer. In such a special period, cash flow is equal to the lifeline of the company. Whoever has abundant cash flow can live better in such a crisis.

For our company, cash flow is very healthy because we are in Alibaba ecosystem.

On the one hand, our own e-commerce sales data has not been affected. On the other hand, the Alibaba ecosystem has various financing services for SMEs, so we are not worried about cash flow at all.

At present, we have four stores in Taobao and Tmall, and one of them has a daily sales flow of nearly one million. Through the online financial service of "advance payment" of Alibaba’s online merchant bank, these sales streams can be received online within 1 minute, and the interest on procedures is very low.

Under the pressure of the epidemic, we are also strictly controlling the company’s cash flow. Years ago, the online orders of overseas customers at Alibaba International Station were tens of thousands of dollars. Through the "running loan" products of Alibaba International Station, we can receive the money in a few minutes and become a capital reserve.

This is hard to imagine for many traditional offline foreign trade companies. It takes about 3 ~ 6 months for them to place an order from the customer to finally get the money back.

4. Working online is the norm.

In the foreign trade circle, SOHO office has always existed, especially with office collaboration tools such as nailing and enterprise WeChat, the efficiency of online office is actually very high.

Since the second day of the first month, our employees have been working online through nailing, WeChat, etc., and reached normalization on the tenth day of the first month. They punch cards online, assess KPI online, trade online and reply to customers.

Compared with foreign trade enterprises, internet enterprises and media, more ordinary startups are still unfamiliar with online home office. Many bosses are worried about how to evaluate employees’ work efficiency and performance after working online from home.

In my opinion, under the trend of Internet, the boss should have such a company philosophy: "Gather a group of like-minded people and do one thing together under one value." The company is not owned by the boss alone, it is a common platform for everyone to survive and develop, and everyone participates, coordinates and shares for one thing.

Therefore, our company introduced the amoeba model very early. Different teams have their own projects, their own compensation systems, and even their own equity ratios.

Under the relatively perfect KPI system, we seldom assess the superficial performance such as punching cards, but pay attention to the results, such as the sales data of salesmen, the design results of designers and the operation data of operators.

With such a business philosophy and a standardized and meticulous KPI system, in fact, working in a company is essentially the same as working at home.

5. The team is stable and confident

Our company is composed of small teams, and excellent small teams participate in the distribution of the company’s equity. We also implement the partnership system. Therefore, for employees, the company is that everyone does one thing together. Under such a company philosophy, the more in times of crisis, the more people hold a group, the more frustrated and brave they are.

At the same time, in the face of crisis, entrepreneurs should first give the team confidence, prospects and even faith; Secondly, further strengthen the stability of the team. For example, let the team know the real situation of the enterprise, let the team enter the working state as soon as possible, and really care about the employees.

At the early video meeting, I will tell you the company’s sales data truthfully. Although the epidemic situation is current, our sales are still hot, and everyone is naturally full of confidence.

Under the epidemic crisis, if the team takes a long vacation, it is easy to be distracted. On the second day of the first month, our employees went to work online one after another, and on the tenth day, all of them arrived at their posts and entered the working state. The whole team, Qi Xin, worked together to make sales and promote development, and maintained its indomitable spirit.

In order to make employees feel a sense of belonging and security, we set up an epidemic prevention and control care team to provide epidemic prevention supplies to employees and conduct certain safety training. We also try our best to keep employees’ posts, and encourage everyone to tide over the difficulties and fight the epidemic with the company through meetings and team sharing.

I shared some practices of our company on how to break through the business dilemma under the pressure of epidemic situation. Of course, different start-ups will come from different industries, but I think the general trend and direction are the same. In addition, there are some suggestions for entrepreneurs.

1. Establish a positive entrepreneurial mentality.

Since we choose to be an entrepreneur, we should have a strong entrepreneurial mentality. When the industry is facing adversity and the enterprise encounters crisis, it can better reflect the outstanding ability of an entrepreneur.

An entrepreneur is a captain. At such an extraordinary moment, we should have the courage to lead the team and inspire everyone’s morale. This is a qualified entrepreneur.

As entrepreneurs, we should spread positive energy. To truly believe in the power of the government, the government’s control of the epidemic has been highly praised all over the world, and we must also establish confidence and firmly believe that the epidemic will eventually pass.

2. Make a rational business evaluation

We conservatively estimate that the epidemic will affect the economy for more than three months. If you don’t have enough cash flow and you are a micro-entrepreneur, you should consider cost control and survival crisis.

If you figure out that the company will not have any income in the next three months, and there are no other smooth financing channels, then take immediate measures to control costs, such as layoffs and collection of accounts receivable. If the financial pressure is very great, we should rationally choose to quit and stop operating.

3. Reflect and improve yourself

The epidemic crisis has kept everyone from going out, but it has given us time to think calmly. In fact, such adversity is the best time for entrepreneurs to reflect and improve themselves.

As entrepreneurs, we need to improve our ability to cope with crises, especially to exercise our entrepreneurial adversity quotient, learn to judge macro trends and make micro-innovations.

Entrepreneurs can also use this period of time to think about and resume their own operations, check and fill gaps, improve the company’s system and optimize the team. Under the crisis, danger and opportunity coexist, and if handled well, crisis is often the best opportunity for entrepreneurs.

4. Integrate into the entrepreneurial ecology

As a business operator for 14 years, I have recently been thinking about why we can develop well in this crisis. I think one of the core reasons is that the entrepreneurial circle we are in has a strong ecological advantage.

Alibaba Eco-Entrepreneurship Circle provides entrepreneurs with very rich resources and empowerment, such as sales platform, financing channels, online office software, as well as various training and sharing opportunities. Through the entrepreneurial circle, mutual encouragement and mutual learning, the vitality and growth of entrepreneurs have been maximized. This is the core reason why an ordinary entrepreneur like me has grown up for 14 years.

Of course, the entrepreneurial ecosystem is not only Alibaba, but also Tencent and Meituan. However, no matter which ecosystem you are in, I want to emphasize that you should really integrate into your entrepreneurial ecosystem and let yourself achieve sustained growth and success through ecological empowerment.

Churchill said, don’t waste any crisis.

For entrepreneurs, we are never short of crises. In the process of starting my own business, I have experienced SARS, the financial crisis in 2008, the internal mechanical transformation, and the business crisis.

However, entrepreneurship itself is a practice and promotion, and the best opportunity for promotion is crisis after crisis. Going through the crisis, overcoming the crisis, realizing transformation and growth, this is my experience in dealing with the crisis in my 14 years of entrepreneurship.

Finally, I sincerely hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible and everything will get better and better.
