1905 movie network news Directed by Huatao Teng and adapted from a novel of the same name in Jiangnan, a sci-fi war movie starring Lu Han and Shu Qi, Shi Liang, Godfrey Tsao, Kid Young, Wilson and Jialing Sun will be released on August 9th. Recently, in the advance premiere of the film, the strong sense of substitution against alien civilization in Shanghai has ignited the audience, and the shocking scenes such as "Shanghai Cannon" and "Shanghai Land Sinking" have also become the focus of the film, attracting countless eyes. Some viewers expressed their feelings: "Seeing a familiar city become a sci-fi battlefield, I don’t know how many China sci-fi fans are looking forward to it. Now this vision has finally come true."

Today, the film exposed the special edition of "How to Enter the Castle", revealing the story origin of this future war. In the future world, when people are in Ad Astra, they will bring the super energy substance "Xianteng" back to the earth as the main energy source. Subsequently, the alien mother ship came to the earth with predators, which started a predatory war against "Xianteng", and human beings also used "Xianteng" to build a "bubble defense system" to resist invasion. After other cities were hit hard one after another, Shanghai, China became the last city fortress and the last hope of human civilization.

　

Six-year long March, making a China science fiction movie.

Director Huatao Teng: Three years to polish the conceptual design.

Shanghai Fortress, a novel written by Jiangnan, has accumulated countless readers’ youthful memories in ten years. When domestic sci-fi movies have not entered the audience’s field of vision, it is doomed to be a huge project and full of unknown difficulties to choose to put this story of future war and delicate emotions on the movie screen from the beginning of the project. It takes six years to make a sci-fi movie. In the view of director Huatao Teng, the setting of world outlook and the conceptual design of prop scenes are the most important links.

Why do alien motherships look like this, what is their attack mode, and what is our defense mode … … With these problems, Teng Dao kept meeting with the team in the preparatory stage and polished and revised it repeatedly. Because there is no domestic film experience to learn from, Teng Dao said frankly: "It took more than three years to get a basic introduction to the concept lesson." By the time of official shooting, each actor not only knew the world described by the director, but also got a manual, which recorded the description of each scene and the usage of each prop.

　

The "Shanghai battlefield" big scene was praised.

Audience: "The first feeling is shock."

"Shocking", "being there" and "burning" … … At the advanced premiere of the film "Shanghai Fortress", these carefully crafted sci-fi scenes were also well received and recognized by the audience. The huge alien carrier landed on the earth, and the Shanghai cannon jumped out of the Huangpu River and fired, exchanging the whole city of Shanghai "Lu Chen" for hope. All kinds of big scenes that happened in China for the first time were eye-catching. Some viewers concluded that the first feeling after watching the movie was shock.

For this new exploration of China’s sci-fi, some viewers commented: "The sci-fi war film with Shanghai, China as the main battlefield has restored the big scenes in the original, the special effects are very realistic, and the film production showing Shanghai Lu Shen is even more excellent." Some viewers also said: "The degree of completion is quite good. From the visual effect, the dome-like bubble defense and every fierce battle between human beings and alien civilizations are highlights."

　

The film "Shanghai Fortress" will be released on August 9th.

　　Comics from Xinhua News Agency

　　(Reporter Zhao Liuying text/map) With the rise and development of the webcast platform, the events of "Xiong Haizi" spending huge sums of money to reward anchors frequently occur, and the amount of rewards ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

　　Ms. Chen, a citizen engaged in the clothing business, has recently encountered such "troubles". Since September last year, Han Han, an 11-year-old daughter, has frequently recharged and rewarded the live broadcast platform in the United States, spending a total of more than 70,000 yuan.

　　Primary school girls reward network anchors for more than 70 thousand yuan

　　"I didn’t expect that she would spend so much money on the live broadcast platform, which I don’t understand." Ms. Chen said that her daughter is usually very sensible and studies well, and she is also the monitor of the class.

　　Since last year, Ms. Chen has found that her daughter always plays mobile phones and has been educated several times, but she has not taken it to heart. "Now children like to play mobile phones, and they think that their daughters are also very obedient at ordinary times. They have not done anything out of the ordinary, so it is no harm to play during the holidays."

　　However, just during the holiday, the webcast platform "took advantage of it". Han Han registered a Meipai account with his own QQ number, without real-name authentication, and registered with his own mobile phone number and authenticated his identity.

　　The reporter inquired about the reward record of Han Han in the beauty auction. The account bound by QQ number was rewarded with a total of 14,806 yuan, and the account bound by mobile phone number was rewarded with a total of 61,988 yuan. Reward records are mostly concentrated in the evening, especially during holidays.

　　"The amount of rewards on weekdays is relatively small, mostly 30 to 50 yuan. The large amount of rewards is mainly concentrated in holidays. In October last year alone, more than a dozen 1888 yuan were rewarded, including three 1888 yuan on October 8, and the reward amount in October was nearly 30,000 yuan." Ms. Chen said that in addition, in February and May this year, there were also a large number of rewards.

　　"When I usually use WeChat to pay, my daughter is beside me, and I didn’t deliberately avoid it. It is estimated that my daughter secretly wrote down the payment password." Ms. Chen said that in addition to the usual pocket money, there is no large amount of cash in her daughter’s WeChat account, and the money for rewarding the anchor is that her daughter steals her mobile phone and makes red packets and transfers on WeChat.

　　Ms. Chen said that when doing business, many customers will put money into their WeChat accounts, and they will also use it on weekdays. In addition, her daughter has deleted the record of red envelopes and transfers, so for a long time, Ms. Chen did not find it. At present, Ms. Chen hopes that Mei Pai can refund her daughter’s reward.

　　Live broadcast platform: only when the user is a minor can the money be refunded.

　　So, what is the response of the US film to this matter? The reporter contacted Xiamen Meitu Net Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Meipai, for the first time.

　　"At present, this matter is under investigation. First, we have to confirm whether the user is really a minor, and then we can refund the reward." Zhang Kai, the marketing department of Meitu, said that it takes evidence to confirm the identity of minors and time to communicate with users. As long as the evidence is perfect, you can get a refund.

　　It is reported that one of Hanhan’s Meipai accounts has been authenticated, and the ID number entered can confirm his minor status; Most of the other accounts use WeChat payment for rewards, and WeChat payment has been authenticated by real name. Can it be confirmed that Han Han is a minor?

　　Zhang Wei said that WeChat’s real-name authentication, they can’t see the background data, but also need to check the user’s usual records and live content on the platform to confirm whether the US pat account and the payment account are the same person and both are minors.

　　Prove that "rewarding people" is a difficult problem for minors to protect their rights.

　　It is understood that to enter the live broadcast platform of the United States, you only need to enter the mobile phone number, or bind the micro signal and QQ number to enter, and you don’t need real-name authentication, so minors are not restricted to register. Then, how to manage the platform for blind consumption of minors?

　　Zhang Kai said that when giving a gift to the anchor for consumption, he will jump to a recharge page. At the top of the page, he will be prompted whether it is a guardian companion mode. Once this mode is selected, he will not be able to provide a recharge service.

　　However, although the platform has set this restriction, it is not a rigid requirement. For many minors, the guardian companionship mode will not be actively turned on, and the behavior of recharging and rewarding can still be carried out.

　　With the popularity of live broadcast platforms, it frequently happens that minors spend huge sums of money to reward anchors all over the country. Faced with this problem, almost all live broadcast platforms will require proof that users are minors when rewarding anchors. However, how to prove it? This has also become a major problem for parents of minors to defend their rights and recover rewards.

　　Lawyer: Civil acts beyond the capacity of minors are invalid.

　　In recent years, with the rapid development of webcasting platform, the problem of lack of supervision has been frequently exposed, which is not only the hardest hit area for the spread of obscene articles, but also the lack of defense lines for minors, which leads to the addiction of minors to live broadcasting platform, and frequent incidents of rewarding anchors with huge sums of money.

　　"Minors have poor self-control ability, and many behaviors need to be under the supervision of parents. Even if they voluntarily reward the anchor, this behavior of minors is invalid." Mr. Chu, a lawyer in Zhengzhou, said that according to Chinese laws, a minor over 10 years old but under 18 years old is a person with limited capacity for civil conduct, and can engage in civil activities appropriate to his age and intelligence. Other civil activities are represented by his legal representative or with the consent of his legal representative. If the capacity is exceeded, the civil act is invalid unless the parents ratify it.

　　Indeed, minors are unable to dispose of large amounts of property. On the one hand, parents should take good care of their children, on the other hand, the webcast platform should be gradually improved. "The next step for the regulatory authorities should focus on whether some network anchors have induced users, especially minors." Mr. Chu said that the webcast platform should gradually improve the risk warning and fulfill the obligation of auditing and verifying identity.

　　In addition, some insiders believe that with the popularity of mobile Internet, payment methods have become faster. Parents should also strengthen safety precautions for their children to play mobile phones and guide their children to develop healthy and positive Internet usage habits.

　　China news agency, Beijing, July 10 (Reporter Liu Liang) The market supervision department of China issued new regulations to further strengthen the safety of "rations" for infants and young children. The new regulations stipulate that the labels and instructions of infant formula milk powder products shall not contain vague information such as imported milk source, imported raw materials, original ecological milk source and pollution-free milk source.

　　On the 10th, the State Administration of Market Supervision of China held a special press conference on the policy interpretation of the Measures for the Administration of Formula Registration of Infant Formula Milk Powder Products (hereinafter referred to as the Measures). Zhou Shiping, director of the Department of Special Food Safety Supervision and Management of the State Administration of Markets, introduced at the meeting that the Measures are a new revision of the version published in 2016.

　　Zhou Shiping introduced that since the implementation of the Measures on October 1, 2016, the annual sampling pass rate of infant formula milk powder has exceeded 99%, the product quality has been significantly improved, and the milk powder industry has developed in a standardized manner; The market share of domestic brands is increasing year by year. In 2020, the sales of domestic brands of infant formula will account for about 60%, and consumer confidence will be significantly boosted. However, there are also some problems that need to be solved urgently. The "Measures" aim to continuously improve the quality of infant formula milk powder by strengthening registration management.

　　It is understood that the "Measures" further standardize labeling and safeguard consumers’ rights and interests, and clarify that if there are words of animal origin in the product name, the milk protein sources such as raw milk, milk powder and whey powder should all come from this species; It is forbidden to mark false, exaggerated, contrary to scientific principles or absolute content.

　　The Measures also emphasize that the labels and instructions of infant formula milk powder products shall not contain vague information such as imported milk source, ecological pasture from abroad, imported raw materials, original ecological milk source and pollution-free milk source. Images of babies and women, "human emulsification", "breast feeding" or similar terms shall not be used.

　　Li Liangqiu, executive vice president of China Nutrition and Health Food Association, believes that the "Measures" are of positive significance to the development of the industry. The revision of the "Measures" combined with the industry concerns in the implementation process, further clarified and standardized the relevant requirements, which was helpful for enterprises to invest in R&D and innovation, assume the main responsibility, and update more abundant products.

　　It is reported that the "Measures" will be implemented on October 1 this year, and the "Measures for the Administration of Formula Registration of Infant Formula Milk Powder Products" originally published in 2016 will be abolished at the same time. (End)

"I am a veteran, and I must go at this time!" Facing the turbulent flood, Wu Keyu, a cadre of retired military affairs bureau in Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, who has been in length of military service for 16 years, wiped the mud on his face and said firmly in a hoarse voice.

If the disaster is like an order, the mission will be achieved. The county veterans affairs bureau quickly organized forces to go to the front line. In the village where the road was washed away, the rescue team composed of retired soldiers waded through the water with only one safety rope, and walked back and forth for more than 20 kilometers for 12 hours in a row, transferring 37 trapped people to safety, including 8 elderly people and 5 children. When the last old man was carried back to the resettlement site, Zhao Jianjun, a retired soldier, had already been soaked in muddy water, and his boots were deeply scratched. "Everything should be done. If you have been a soldier, you have to rush ahead." Zhao Jianjun said.

The militia emergency forces organized by the County People’s Armed Forces Department have also become the backbone of the rescue. In the middle of the night of July 28th, 40 backbone militia members formed a material delivery team to carry bread, drinking water and other living materials on foot in the muddy mountain road. "The road ahead has slipped, so follow me around!" Chloe Wang, the captain of the militia, took a flashlight to explore the road ahead, and his trouser legs were cut by branches. After a four-hour trek, they finally sent the second batch of relief supplies to the affected people in Mayingzi Manchu Township. On the same day, another militia rescue team delivered materials to the affected areas in three batches, with a total journey of 45 kilometers, which sent much-needed living security to the temporarily disconnected villages.

In the settlement of Hongqi Town, the backbone militia became "waiters" to help build temporary tents and distribute relief materials, and specially prepared hot water and medicines for the elderly and children.

"Seeing these comrades wearing camouflage uniforms, my heart is practical." Uncle Li, a villager who had just been transferred, said that the militia not only helped him grab important documents from home, but also patiently calmed his emotions.

Up to now, the retired military affairs system cadres and backbone militia in Luanping County have transferred more than 200 people, transported 12 tons of materials and participated in road dredging for 3 kilometers. These figures, once dressed in military uniforms, continued to write loyalty with persistence and dedication in the face of public opinion, becoming the most reliable "guardians" in the hearts of the masses.

　　According to the statistics released by the Pan American Health Organization, the overall incidence of dengue fever has been on the rise in many Latin American countries recently. Since 2023, the number of dengue cases in some countries in Central America, the Andean region and Caribbean countries including Cuba and Dominica has increased significantly, and some parts of some countries have declared a state of emergency.

　　Up to now, Peru has reported more than 76,000 cases of dengue fever, including 82 deaths. The number of cases of dengue fever in Lima, the capital, has increased fivefold compared with 2022, and the Peruvian government has declared a 120-day state of emergency in 20 regions. 333 people have died of dengue fever in Brazil this year. There are more than 20,000 cases of dengue fever in Bolivia, including 69 deaths. La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, issued an epidemiological red alert after the dengue fever epidemic expanded. Argentina has reported more than 93,000 confirmed cases of dengue fever and 56 deaths. Colombia has recorded over 28,000 cases of dengue fever this year. In addition, Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras reported 974 cases, 1,278 cases and 2,803 cases of dengue fever respectively.

　　Dengue fever is an acute viral infection spread by mosquitoes, and its typical symptoms include fever, headache and joint pain. Dengue fever is divided into common dengue fever and hemorrhagic dengue fever, and the latter has a higher mortality rate. The Pan American Health Organization warned that in the hottest and wettest months, the spread of dengue fever tends to expand. Maria Carmen, executive secretary of the Andean Health Organization, pediatrician and public health expert, believes that climate change makes the temperature higher. "The shortage of tap water and the imperfect drainage system force people in some areas to store clean water, which provides a favorable environment for the breeding of mosquitoes."

　　In some Latin American countries, the primary health care force and medical facilities are weak, which makes the treatment of severe dengue patients face challenges. According to the Ombudsman’s Office of Peru, in areas with high incidence of dengue fever, medical institutions are overwhelmed, the actual nursing demand is eight times that of nursing capacity, and some drugs are in short supply.

　　In order to control the spread of dengue fever, many health departments have taken emergency measures to deal with it. The Bolivian government has formulated a plan to fight dengue fever, carry out community cleaning and set up mobile medical points. Argentina’s health department has carried out large-scale mosquito control work throughout the country, and adopted anti-mosquito measures such as installing gauze. Peruvian health and epidemic prevention personnel go door-to-door to disinfect, publicize dengue fever prevention and control knowledge to the public, and distribute mosquito repellent supplies free of charge. Rosa Gutierrez palomino, Minister of Health of Peru, has asked people to take emergency preventive measures and follow the recommendations of the health department. At the same time, the country has allocated 35 million soles (1 yuan RMB is about 0.53 soles) to deal with this public health emergency.

In the circle of travelers, there is a popular saying: the ceiling of tourist scenery is Switzerland.

However, this sentence has another meaning: the expenses here are also at the top level. Switzerland ranks among the countries with high cost of living all the year round, and its currency, the Swiss franc, is also one of the strongest currencies in the world.

△ Although the cost of living is high, Zurich is also considered as one of the most livable cities in the world. (Photo/photo by Yu Yutao)

It is said that there is one millionaire in every 22 locals in Switzerland, and the per capita salary is equivalent to more than 55,000 yuan. If the monthly income is less than 25,000 RMB, it can already be classified as a low-income group.

Such a rich income naturally brings a very high level of consumption. Traveling here is not only a unique enjoyment for the eyes, but also a Du Jie for the wallet. When I went to Switzerland, I found that I would really be laughed at by myself.

There is no tip in Switzerland.

Almost everything is expensive.

Some people joked that Swiss prices are "the highest in the world", which is true.

Different from other European and American countries, there is basically no habit of tipping in Switzerland-according to the federal constitution, the service charge is already included in the consumer price in most places. You don’t have to worry that the waiter will bring inconvenience to yourself because he can’t get enough pay. Besides, everything in Switzerland is inseparable from money.

Among the ten cities with the highest cost of living in Europe in 2023 selected by Numbeo, a world-renowned data website, the top eight are firmly occupied by Switzerland. Among them, the most well-known places-Zurich, Geneva, Lucerne, Basel and Lugano are all on the list.

△ List of cities with the highest cost of living in Europe in 2023. (Figure/website screenshot)

According to statistics, the price level in Switzerland is 61.5% higher than the average level in the EU. Some bloggers have printed their own bills for buying the same products in Switzerland and Germany, and the prices are twice as different.

In Switzerland, seeing the numbers on the price tag often makes people feel their heart beat faster. On the first day I arrived, I felt the blow of high local prices. The first time I walked into a local restaurant, I thought I was in a "black shop".

For example, when I opened the menu, I found that a bowl of beef noodles costs nearly RMB in 200 yuan, a plate of spaghetti costs RMB in 230 yuan, and a cup of coffee costs RMB in 80 yuan. Even if you just want to eat two jiaozi, you may have swallowed more than 100 RMB with one bite.

I woke up after comparing many restaurants, and I really blamed it wrong-it turned out that every restaurant in Switzerland was a "black shop".

△ Network stem map: "What does the Swiss flag stand for? Most money and a little chocolate. " (Figure/website screenshot)

If you want to enjoy a Chinese meal, it is even more "bleeding". Order three ordinary home-cooked dishes, and you will receive a huge bill-Shenghui 600-700 yuan RMB when you check out.

In addition to eating, every trip in Switzerland is also a huge test of the wallet. As we all know, taking the Swiss railway is one of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful local scenery, and its public transportation is famous for its efficiency, punctuality and comfort.

But the "cost" is also very obvious: to buy the cheapest one-day transportation ticket, it will cost nearly 400 yuan RMB.

You know, this is the level of monthly ticket in most European cities outside Switzerland.

△ The world-famous Swiss railway has a sky-high fare. (Photo/photo by Yu Yutao)

It is more expensive to take a taxi here. According to the survey of Taxi2Airport, a global airport taxi booking platform, the taxi fare in Switzerland is unmatched in the world-measured by the average price per kilometer, it is as high as 175 yuan, almost twice that of Japan, the second place.

If you carry luggage, you have to pay an extra fee. Unless you plan to leave your luggage in the local area and wander alone.

Such high prices are unbearable for the well-paid Swiss people. Some Swiss people sarcastically said that high prices are the best weight-loss plan to help them keep fit. Anyway, wages will never keep up with the soaring prices.

Sitting by the lake in Zurich, a local frankly revealed to us the survival way of ordinary Swiss people-giving up restaurants and returning to their own kitchens. Just because of this, the prices are ridiculously expensive wherever people sit down and provide services. On weekends, they would rather drive for an hour or two to buy ingredients in neighboring cities than eat out at will.

Rich "low-key",

A Swiss who is "ostentatious"

If you think that wealthy Swiss don’t need to save money, it’s all wet.

It has long been popular and common for Swiss people to drive regularly to neighboring countries for shopping. In order to reduce the cost of living, some office workers even take the initiative to live in neighboring France or Germany for a long time, preferring to travel back and forth across borders twice a day rather than bear the high local prices.

Walking on the most prosperous banhoff street in Zurich, it’s hard for you to see local people wearing famous brands. On the contrary, people who walk their dogs in ordinary clothes on the street, or carefully choose cheap and good products in supermarkets, may be invisible rich.

In some life forums in Switzerland, there are many shopping guides about going to the borders of neighboring countries, including driving/transfer routes, where to park, and where to shop more cost-effectively.

Konstanz, a small town located on the border between Germany and Switzerland, welcomes a wave of Swiss people who come to shop specially every year. Although it takes several hours to drive, almost half of Swiss residents come here to shop at least once a year.

In addition to the price gap, shopping here can also enjoy the exchange rate difference between the euro and the Swiss franc. In addition, since Switzerland has not joined the European Union, Swiss residents can enjoy preferential tax refund policies in konstanz as long as the amount on a shopping list exceeds a certain amount.

What these residents came to buy was not any special items, but some simple necessities. According to a survey conducted by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Swiss demand for shampoo and shower gel ranks first all the year round. Here, supermarkets specializing in selling sanitary washing products have opened one after another.

If you catch up with "Black Friday" or around Christmas, you can see the spectacular scene of a sea of people and collective passion consumption, which is no less than any top-stream scenic spot in China.

Even if the income is rich, the Swiss are used to living frugally-they always bring their own shopping bags when they go shopping in the supermarket and always have water bottles when they go out.

When friends communicate with each other, most of them will only send a box of chocolate or a bottle of wine or some flowers. If you give a picture album, it is already an "unusual" gift.

Even if guests are invited to be guests at home, the host family will never set out rich dishes, but "measure the belly to cook." Their purpose of hospitality is: it is better to eat seven points full and never leave food.

△ Friends bake firewood pizza at home. (Photo/vision china)

If it’s not enough to eat, at most, cook some macaroni temporarily and serve it with simple sauce. In the end, everyone should not only scrape the leftovers off the plate with bread, but also lick the plate clean. Only in this way can we be worthy of being a real Swiss.

No matter how exquisite the middle-class activities are in Switzerland, they have to be honest and simple. Swiss people who love hiking every day often call themselves "mountain people in the Alps". In order to save money, hikers often carry a big bag of sausages with them. When they are hungry, they will burn wood for a fire at a nearby barbecue spot, eat a few sticks, and then continue on their way.

The ubiquitous "stingy" style of Swiss nationals has made the government have to play an extremely spirit and be careful everywhere. For the construction of any public works, the Swiss are based on the principle of practicality, and they can save no more money. For those icing on the cake, the Swiss are completely dismissive.

In 2007, the city government of Basel planned to renovate the old concert hall in the city center. However, after the renovation plan was announced, it immediately met with a flood of opposition from the public for the simple reason that the new concert hall was "too big and too expensive".

In Switzerland,

Only then did I know that I couldn’t afford to eat.

Before I set out, I specially asked my friends who had visited Switzerland: What delicious food is there worth recommending? The result was unexpected, and most people couldn’t answer it.

Because it’s good enough to eat here. Want to eat better? That price is really unthinkable. It seems that the "gourmets" who are good at discovering food have come to Switzerland, and there is nothing they can do.

Although fondue cheese is known as the "national dish" of Switzerland, in fact, even many Swiss themselves feel that this dish is simply not worth mentioning in the food industry.

There are no precious ingredients in it, and there is no special practice. It just cooks cheese with white wine, garlic, ginger and pepper in a pot to make a rich cheese sauce and dip it in small pieces of bread. A little more extravagant is to serve it with sausage and French bread or lettuce.

When you just eat it, you will find it novel and interesting, but you will get tired of eating two more. After getting used to China’s hot pot, try Swiss hot pot again, and you can only say to yourself: So this can also be called hot pot?

In addition to cheese, there is also water paid by the restaurant with dry bread. Don’t think that as in China, a waiter will bring a pot of boiling tea as soon as you sit down.

Whether it is bottled water or sparkling water here, even if you just want to drink a glass of tap water, you must be prepared to pay for it. At this time, I can only comfort myself: "There is no way, rice must always be eaten, and money must be used sparingly."

Getting into the supermarket to solve the problem of eating has become the most economical way for tourists in Switzerland. Of course, every Chinese who has traveled in Switzerland will never forget the online celebrity roast chicken in the local supermarket, which is almost the "savior" of China’s stomach.

Although its taste is mediocre and its meat is meaty, it is rare in Switzerland to meet the taste of China population, and the price is only 5-6 Swiss francs (about equal to 50 yuan RMB), so it is hard for me to find anything wrong with it.

During our few days in Switzerland, we ate almost all the chicken legs and wings. So that after returning to China for a period of time, I couldn’t help shivering when I saw the chicken.

If you really want to improve your food, it may be the best and most affordable choice to find a fast food restaurant like McDonald’s or Burger King, although it will cost nearly 100 yuan to eat a basic set meal.

So that when I saw the "poor people’s meal" with a price of nearly three figures, I could only silently tell myself: "Switzerland is very good, save money and come back!"

　　"Enriching the social security fund with state-owned capital" has reached a new level.

　　On November 18th, the State Council issued the Implementation Plan for Transferring Part of State-owned Capital to Enrich the Social Security Fund (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which included the central and local state-owned and state-controlled large and medium-sized enterprises and financial institutions in the transfer scope, and the transfer ratio was unified to 10% of the state-owned shares of enterprises, so as to make up for the gap of China’s basic old-age insurance fund through equity dividends.

　　The transfer of state-owned shares of central enterprises, entrusted by the State Council Social Security Fund will be responsible for centralized holding; The transferred state-owned shares of local enterprises shall be centrally held, managed and operated by wholly state-owned companies established by provincial people’s governments. The transferred state-owned shares may also be entrusted to the special account management of companies with state-owned capital investment and operation functions in this province (autonomous regions and municipalities).

　　The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee have clearly stated that "some state-owned capital should be transferred to enrich the social security fund". The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further puts forward requirements for strengthening the construction of social security system. The issuance of this plan made people hear the sound of boots landing.

　　On the one hand, the aging of the population and the gap in pension funds that need to be filled, and on the other hand, the state-owned enterprises that are on the road of deepening reform. What impact will the transfer of state-owned capital into the social security fund and other stakeholders (hereinafter referred to as "stakeholders") have? Can it accelerate the process of mixed reform of state-owned enterprises and inject more vitality into state-owned enterprises?

　　From "reduction" to "transfer"

　　This is not the first time that the government has used the power of state-owned capital to contribute to the social security fund.

　　As early as 2001, the State Council issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Reducing State-owned Shares to Raise Social Security Funds, which stipulated that all state-owned joint stock limited companies (including companies listed overseas) should sell state-owned shares at 10% of the financing amount and turn them over to the social security fund when issuing and issuing additional shares to public investors for the first time.

　　Eight years later, the Ministry of Finance, together with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Social Security Fund, issued the Implementation Measures for Transferring Some State-owned Shares in the Domestic Securities Market to Enrich the National Social Security Fund, which stipulated that when a state-owned joint stock limited company went public for the first time, it would transfer 10% of the shares actually issued, and the shares would be held by the National Social Security Fund Council.

　　The transfer, the Ministry of Finance said, is to transfer some state-owned capital to enrich the social security fund, mainly for the equity of central and local enterprise groups, and generally does not involve listed companies.

　　From "reduction" to "transfer" and from "listed company" to "group company", experts think that the meaning is very different.

　　"For the transfer of listed companies, there is a question of whether the board of directors and the shareholders’ meeting agree or not, whether it is ‘ Voting by hand ’ Or ‘ Vote with your feet ’ Will trigger a strong reaction from the capital market. " Qi Yudong, a professor at the School of Economics and Business Administration of Beijing Normal University, believes that the effect of the transfer of group equity is quite different. "There is no question of whether other shareholders agree or not to allocate 10% of state-owned capital to the social security fund through administrative means."

　　This way of transferring state-owned capital shares is simpler, more direct and immediate to experts. Zheng Bingwen, director of the World Social Security Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the scope and volume of this transfer have greatly increased compared with the past.

　　According to the annual report (2016) issued by the Social Security Fund of the National Social Security Fund Council, the total assets of the social security fund were 2,042.328 billion yuan at the end of 2016. "If all the state-owned capital involved is transferred, the income of the social security fund is enough to exceed 10 trillion yuan." Zheng Bingwen estimated that "it can not only reduce the financial burden, but also help the stability of the system."

　　The purpose and use of this share transfer is more directional than in the past. According to the Proposal, the basic goal of equity transfer is to make up for the gap in the basic endowment insurance fund for enterprise employees.

　　The "deemed payment period" refers to the pension rights and interests formed by employees of state-owned enterprises and institutions under the original unit security system before the implementation of the reform of the basic old-age insurance system. Because the original unit security system has not accumulated contributions, the "transitional pension" generated by the "deemed payment period" is equivalent to the "pension debt" embedded in the basic old-age insurance system from the outside, forming a gap in the basic old-age insurance fund.

　　Some scholars have suggested that the gap caused by this historical reason should not be made up by raising the payment rate or transferring it to the next generation, but we can consider using the power of state-owned capital to make up the gap.

　　"It is a proper meaning for state-owned capital to be taken from the people and used by the people." Li Jin, a researcher at the Research Center for the Reform and Development of State-owned Enterprises of Renmin University of China, believes that from the current situation, pension funds in some areas have a large deficit, which has been filled by finance and is unsustainable in the long run. Transferring state-owned capital into social security can also let the whole people enjoy the fruits of the development of state-owned enterprises.

　　According to the Proposal, the the State Council entrusts the Social Security Fund to be responsible for centralized holding, separate accounting, assessment and supervision of the transferred state-owned shares of central enterprises. When conditions are ripe, with approval, the Social Security Fund can set up a pension management company to independently operate the transferred state-owned shares of central enterprises.

　　The transferred state-owned shares of local enterprises shall be centrally held, managed and operated by wholly state-owned companies established by provincial people’s governments. The transferred state-owned shares can also be entrusted to the special account management of companies with state-owned capital investment and operation functions in this province (autonomous regions and municipalities).

　　The data shows that the average annual investment return rate of the National Social Security Fund since its establishment is 8.37%, and the accumulated investment income is 822.731 billion yuan. Dong Keyong, secretary-general of the 50-member Forum on China’s Pension Finance and former dean of the School of Public Administration of China Renmin University, believes that the national social security fund is stable and suitable as the undertaker in terms of annualized rate of return.

　　In fact, before the implementation of the national plan, Shandong Province has become the first region to "eat crabs".

　　In 2015, Shandong Province issued the Plan of Enriching Social Security Fund by Transferring State-owned Capital of Provincial Enterprises, which requires 30% of the state-owned capital of 471 provincial state-owned enterprises (including state-owned capital in state-owned shareholding enterprises) to be transferred to enrich the provincial social security fund. And it is held by the Provincial Social Security Fund Council through one-time transfer.

　　Zheng Bingwen believes that Shandong’s pioneering efforts give a good reference to all localities, and the transfer of local state-owned assets greatly reduces the pressure on local finance and helps to make up for the current gap of pension funds.

　　Enterprises with strong competition are suitable for priority transfer.

　　For the progress of equity transfer, a two-step plan is given in the Plan.

　　The first step is to select some central enterprises and some provinces to carry out pilot projects this year, including 3-5 central enterprises and 2 central financial institutions. The second step is to transfer the state-owned shares of other qualified central management enterprises, enterprises run by central administrative institutions and central financial institutions in batches in 2018 and beyond on the basis of summing up the pilot experience. The people’s governments of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are responsible for organizing and implementing the transfer of state-owned shares of local state-owned enterprises.

　　At present, the benefits of central enterprises and local state-owned enterprises have improved significantly. In the first three quarters of this year, central enterprises realized a total operating income of 19.1 trillion yuan, the best level in the same period in the past five years. From January to October, the economy of state-owned enterprises operated steadily and made progress, and their income and profits continued to grow rapidly.

　　According to Zhu Boshan, an expert on state-owned assets and general manager of Shanghai Tianqiang Management Consulting Co., Ltd., in the past, social security funds could obtain liquidity income through equity transfer of listed companies, but this time, through equity transfer of central enterprises and local state-owned enterprise groups, social security funds relied more on dividends during the three-year lock-up period. "Therefore, the corporate benefits of the transfer are particularly important."

　　Zhu Boshan believes that although the timetable is given in the "Proposal", from the perspective of efficiency, some enterprises with good benefits but monopoly nature are suitable for equity transfer earlier. Gao Minghua, director of the Research Center for Corporate Governance and Enterprise Development of Beijing Normal University, believes that the more competitive the enterprise, the more suitable it is to give priority to the transfer of equity. "Fully competitive industries that do not involve the national economy, people’s livelihood and national security can be transferred first, but industries with scarce resources like oil are not suitable for premature liberalization, otherwise it is easy to pursue profits excessively, resulting in over-exploitation of scarce resources."

　　The number of central enterprises is small, and the corporate governance structure is relatively clear. In comparison, many "zombie enterprises" exist in local state-owned enterprises, and they are being gradually cleaned up in the reform of state-owned enterprises. In Dong Keyong’s view, this is a gradual process. Therefore, the speed of local state-owned enterprises in the process of equity transfer will be slower than that of central enterprises. "There will be different ways in different places, which need to be adapted to local conditions. This transfer method is conducive to improving the governance level of state-owned enterprises."

　　Qi Yudong believes that the transfer of equity at the level of group companies can realize the diversification of property rights of the parent company. From the perspective of state-owned enterprise reform, property rights reform is an improvement. Zhu Boshan also believes that before the mixed reform of state-owned enterprises, it was more at the level of subsidiaries of central enterprises. In the future, social security funds will enter group companies to improve the monopoly situation, which will also help the implementation of mixed reform at the parent company level.

　　"The property right structure determines the governance structure, which in turn determines the company’s performance and value improvement." Qi Yudong pointed out that for a long time, a monopoly easily led to a monopoly, which in turn led to a monopoly. Starting from the reform of property rights, we can import new financial investors into state-owned companies.

　　Institutional investment enterprises such as pension funds have precedents abroad. Qi Yudong told China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter that in foreign countries, funds belong to new strategic investors, which can improve the property right structure of enterprises in the process of investing in enterprises, and then improve the corporate governance structure.

　　"But strategic investors and financial investors are different." Qi Yudong pointed out that from the current "Program", the government temporarily defined the social security fund as a financial investor. According to the Proposal, social security funds and wholly state-owned companies in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), as financial investors, enjoy the right of income and disposal of state-owned shares, do not interfere in the daily production and operation management of enterprises, and generally do not send directors to enterprises. When necessary, directors may be sent to the enterprise upon approval.

　　In Zhu Boshan’s view, the scope of the enterprises transferred this time is very large, and the number is too large. It is really difficult for the undertaker to send people to each enterprise. However, when the enterprise loses money or has problems in its development strategy, it can consider sending people to the board of directors.

　　Qi Yudong believes that the current shareholding ratio of the undertaker is low, and it is not feasible to participate in corporate governance. If after the restructuring of the group company, the equity becomes highly diversified, and the undertaking entity holds 10% equity, which is not a small proportion, its status as a financial investor should be transformed into a strategic investor, "to further participate in and improve the corporate governance level."

　　In Gao Minghua’s view, according to the current regulations, the proportion of transferring 10% equity into the social security fund is not high, and it is difficult to form checks and balances on major shareholders. "In addition to the social security fund Council and other stakeholders, it is necessary to introduce more social capital to make the equity more diversified." He pointed out that joining the board of directors is only a direct way to participate in the operation of enterprises. Even if no one is sent to the board of directors, according to the provisions of the Company Law, the undertaker as a shareholder can also participate in decision-making, supervise and question the board of directors.

　　Does diversification of property rights mean that the level of corporate governance can be improved? In Gao Minghua’s view, it depends on whether institutional investors can play an active role. "Foreign institutional investors will evaluate the corporate governance level of their investments and publicly release relevant information, thus prompting enterprises to improve their corporate governance level."

　　He believes that if an institutional investor is only a passive investor, it will have little effect on improving the level of corporate governance. In the future, the social security fund will hold a large number of shares, and the National Social Security Fund Council needs to expand the team and attract corporate governance professionals. "The government should have some supporting programs, and the undertaker should not be a passive participant."

　　New problems may arise in the process of transfer.

　　After the promulgation of the "Program", some experts believe that there are still many practical problems that cannot be avoided in the process of future equity transfer, which need further explanation from the government.

　　Zheng Chunrong, deputy dean of the Institute of Public Policy and Governance of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, pointed out that the object of participation in the transfer was listed companies, which was more adequate in information disclosure. "This transfer is all state-owned capital. After the equity transfer, because these companies are not listed, there are certain challenges in the disclosure and supervision of business management information. "

　　Zheng Chunrong is worried that some local governments may be lucky in the future transfer process. "In order to avoid the transfer of equity, it may be deliberately said that some enterprises are public welfare enterprises and will not be transferred." Although the state has made basic provisions on the nature of commercial state-owned enterprises and public welfare state-owned enterprises, Zheng Chunrong believes that the identification of the nature of enterprises needs to be explained in more detail.

　　"There is another problem, that is, the transfer ratio is unified to 10% of the state-owned equity of the enterprise." Zheng Chunrong pointed out that the number of state-owned enterprises and retirees varies greatly from province to province, and there are also great differences in the stock equity of state-owned assets. There may be many retired old workers in some provinces, and the total equity of state-owned enterprises is limited, so there are great differences between provinces.

　　In Zheng Bingwen’s view, due to the great differences in the operation of state-owned assets in different places, the transfer of local state-owned capital may be uneven. "There will be differences in the transfer strength, results and time in different provinces." He pointed out that areas with relatively large state-owned assets happen to be areas where the phenomenon of aging population is more prominent. These areas will face two pressures. On the one hand, the current capital flow pressure of pension funds is relatively high, and the gap must be made up by transfer; On the other hand, the state-owned economy in these areas has problems of low efficiency and low income.

　　"This is a contradiction." Zheng Bingwen believes that this will test whether the local government regards the transfer as a burden or an opportunity. "In some areas, local fiscal revenue will be under greater pressure, and there may be a wait-and-see attitude towards the transfer. However, after the transfer, it will actually help improve the operational efficiency of state-owned enterprises, improve the transparency of enterprises, and improve the governance structure of the state-owned economy, which may lead to a win-win situation. " In his view, we can let the provinces with better state-owned economy move first and give other provinces a reference.
