  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 1 ST: Midstream hits the water and breaks the waves — — From the grassroots research to the first half of China’s economy in 2019

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  By the middle of 2019, China’s economy has gone through an extraordinary first half.

  Ten years after the international financial crisis, the world economy has once again come to a crossroads. There are headwinds from trade protectionism and unilateralism, internal structural and cyclical contradictions are prominent, and the transformation and upgrading have climbed over the hurdle. How can China’s economic giant hit the water?

  Sail and break the waves, and March forward against the wind. Xinhua News Agency reporters felt in the grass-roots investigation that the vivid stories of reform and innovation and the touching stories of forging ahead one by one constitute a vivid picture of China’s current economic stability and high-quality development.

  What is the economic performance of China? — — Highlight a word "stability"

  Rolling along the Yangtze River, it is rushing endlessly.

  Nanjing, the central city in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. At noon in midsummer, Luo Qun, member of the Standing Committee of Nanjing Municipal Committee of Jiangsu Province and full-time deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangbei New District, met the reporter face to face. The opening remarks were actually throwing questions at himself: "How can the new district break through in the face of complex international economic and trade situation?"

  As the 13th national new district in China, Jiangbei New District has developed continuously and rapidly since its establishment four years ago, making every effort to build an important engine for the high-quality development of Nanjing and even the Yangtze River Delta. However, in recent days, some enterprises have been affected by Sino-US economic and trade frictions, and the industrial growth rate of the new district has declined.

  "It is also organic in danger, and the challenge is testing. This is a stage of physical fitness." Luo Qun said frankly that since the beginning of this year, the new district has made a fuss about reform, exerted its strength on the mechanism, adhered to innovation as the guide, and strived to make the development of the new district more stable and solid.

  According to reports, Jiangbei New District attracted about 2,800 overseas talents to work in the first quarter. It is expected that more than 300 high-tech enterprises will be added this year, and the number of new R&D institutions and high-level talents has also maintained a high growth rate last year.

  Along the river, we came to Chongqing.

  Affected by the decline in automobile production and sales, the growth rate of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in this southwestern town last year was only 0.5%. However, in the first five months of this year, the industrial growth rate rebounded to 4.8%, showing a stable and positive trend.

  "Chongqing is based on manufacturing, and it also depends on manufacturing to move towards the future." Tu Xingyong, deputy director of Chongqing Economic Information Committee, said that Chongqing will consolidate and upgrade the "core screen nuclear network", that is, the whole industrial chain intelligent industrial cluster of chips, LCD panels, intelligent terminals, core components and the Internet of Things, and the automobile and motorcycle industrial cluster with new energy and intelligent network connection as the main direction, and promote the manufacturing industry to move towards the middle and high end.

  "With ‘ Core screen device core network ’ We can ‘ develop. Calm down ’ 。” Tu Xingyong said humorously.

  Look at the whole situation.

  This is a true portrayal of China’s economy: there are many difficulties, but there is greater hope; There are many challenges, but more confidence.

  A few days ago, Xinhua News Agency sent multi-channel teams to the grassroots level to see the local development trends, listen to the first-line voices of enterprises, explore the market circulation situation, and get a close look at the economic trends.

  "Stability" is a clear feeling reached by journalists from all walks of life — —

  In the first half of 2019, China’s economy gained momentum steadily.

  Where is the stability?

  The main driving force for economic growth is generally "stable": from the perspective of the "troika" of investment, consumption and export, in the first five months, although the growth rate of investment declined, the growth rate of manufacturing investment rebounded at a low level. In May, the growth rate of total retail sales of social consumer goods rebounded by 1.4 percentage points from the previous month, and exports increased by 7.7% year-on-year.

  The employment and price indicators related to people’s lives are "stable": in May, the national urban survey unemployment rate was 5%, and in the first five months, 5.97 million new jobs were created in cities and towns nationwide, and more than half of the annual plan was completed; In May, the national consumer price rose by 2.7% year-on-year, with a moderate increase.

  The pace of industrial structure optimization is "steady": in May, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9.4% year-on-year, 4.4 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size; The growth rate of information transmission, software and information technology services is faster than the national service industry production index by 15.2 percentage points.

  The development mentality of localities and enterprises is more "stable": "China’s economic strength potential is not what it used to be, and we have a lot of room for manoeuvre." "The international financial crisis 10 years ago came, but China bucked the trend and became the second largest economy in the world" … … In the interview, the reporter found that many local cadres and entrepreneurs are optimistic about the prospects of economic development, have a positive attitude towards some difficulties currently encountered, and their mentality is more calm.

  "Only after being tested can you become an outstanding person. In the past 10 years, citic heavy industries has landed in the capital market, and has also provided supporting products and components for heavy equipment in countries such as shenzhou spaceship and C919. At present, the international market covers more than 40 countries and regions around the world." Talking about the development achievements in the past 10 years, Yu Zhangfa, chairman of citic heavy industries Machinery Co., Ltd., is a few treasures.

  As one of the 156 key projects in China during the First Five-Year Plan period, citic heavy industries seized the opportunity to become a leader in the field of heavy equipment manufacturing in response to the international financial crisis.

  "Aiming at high-quality development and opening up the international market, this is the stabilizer for development." Yu Zhangfa said that relying on the global layout, citic heavy industries is following up a number of overseas key complete sets of projects, main engine projects and spare parts service projects, and it is expected that the total number of effective overseas orders will increase in 2019.

  Since the beginning of this year, China’s economy has achieved a smooth start under the pressure challenge, and it continues to play the role of "stabilizer" of the world economy, which has won praises from foreign media for its "stable and resilient chassis".

  Where does stability come from?

  Stable support comes from the positive factors that the policy effect continues to appear.

  Quickly coordinate and solve enterprise problems in view of practical difficulties; Establish an "order tracking system for 91 key foreign trade enterprises" covering 65% of the province’s total import and export volume to track the fluctuation of import and export volume and price and employment impact; Introduce "22 measures" to optimize port business environment and promote cross-border trade facilitation … …

  From January to May, Sichuan’s import and export to the United States increased by 13.7% year-on-year, and the export growth to ASEAN, the European Union, Japan and other overseas markets drove the province’s export growth by 30%.

  Yang Ni, deputy director of the General Department of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce, told the reporter that over the past year or so, enterprises have actively responded and struggled to transform, and the government has tried every means to create a good environment for enterprises, and achieved a good development trend with one heart and one mind.

  This is a microcosm of China’s active response to challenges.

  Since the beginning of this year, we have implemented a larger scale of tax reduction and fee reduction, made great efforts to ease the financing difficulties of enterprises, stabilized and expanded employment in a multi-pronged manner, and made efforts on the supply side to build a strong domestic market … … A series of pragmatic measures were introduced intensively, and macro-policies were adjusted countercyclically, which opened up growth space for China economy.

  Stable support comes from the lasting power of kinetic energy to accelerate the conversion and release.

  Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, we walked into the production workshop of Chongqing Wanguo Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., where chips were being manufactured, packaged and tested, and some products only needed to be transported for several kilometers to reach the target market. This American-owned enterprise is the second manufacturing, packaging and testing base of 12-inch power semiconductor chips in the world.

  Qi Yuanlin, director of the company’s public relations department, told reporters that Chongqing’s complete and mature automobile and electronics industry system has provided a broad market space for enterprises.

  "We will not give up the huge consumer market and the huge technical talent team here." Lei Guohui, general manager of ASM Pacific Technology Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of semiconductor integration and packaging equipment, said that they are preparing to build the fourth manufacturing base in China in Jiujiang, Jiangxi.

  Although the economic market remains stable, we also feel that the uncertainty brought by the external environment persists, which affects the investment expectation and confidence of enterprises to some extent; Various cost factors have risen, and the operating pressure of the real economy is still relatively high; The differentiation of different regions and industries is still going on, and the conductivity of external influences cannot be underestimated; The implementation of various policies needs to be further strengthened.

  "Sino-US economic and trade frictions have lasted for more than a year, and people’s understanding has become more and more objective, rational and comprehensive." Ning Jizhen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview that the key is to maintain strategic strength, enhance confidence in winning, dare to take responsibility, be good at planning, and concentrate on doing your own thing well.

  Where does China’s economic vitality come from? — — Contains a word "change"

  "In the face of uncertainty, we should not only change with constancy, but also change with ‘ Change ’ Should change. " Yang Quanxing, general manager of Guangdong Textile Import and Export Co., Ltd. told reporters.

  Breaking rigid thinking, thinking about change through reform, seeking change through transformation, and winning through change … … "Change" has become a distinctive feature of China’s economy and the vitality of China’s economy.

  Change ideas, turn passivity into initiative, and strive to find opportunities in danger — —

  "In the future, put on our smart clothes and download an APP, and it will become yours ‘ Personal coach ’ Teach you how to keep fit, dance and even practice yoga … …” Yang Quanxing described the company’s new products in the future.

  Aiming at the Internet of Everything and the development trend of great health, this company began to develop smart clothes as early as a few years ago, and it is expected to be put into mass production soon.

  "Opportunities are not waiting, but created." He said.

  The reporter has a prominent feeling in the investigation. Faced with the difficulties in development, many entrepreneurs have a more peaceful mentality, and their "playing style" is also changing: from passively lowering prices in the past to actively developing new products, improving quality and improving efficiency.

  There is thunder in the silence. When the wind is against the wind, it is often a good opportunity for those excellent enterprises to take advantage of their accumulated wealth and narrow the gap with their competitors.

  At present, it is the best time for the development of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and 5G. Aiming at the development of 5G and laying out the whole industrial chain of optical fiber communication in advance, Fortis Group, which is one of the top 500 Chinese enterprises, is now welcoming a new "window" in its pursuit of innovation and change.

  This is the optical communication intelligent manufacturing R&D center of Futong Group (Jiashan) located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province (photo taken on June 1, 2017). Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Yushe

  "With the official issuance of 5G commercial licenses in China, the demand for optical fibers and cables will be three to five times that of the 4G era." Wang Jianwei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fortis Group, said that they will actively integrate into the national development strategy through a new round of transformation, upgrading and innovative practice, and make positive efforts for the construction of 5G networks and the development of national informatization.

  Seek change in vision, aim at a broader space and open up a broader market — —

  On one side of the factory building, aircraft parts are being pre-assembled, and the assembly machine is busy; In the factory building on the other side, exquisite planes spread their wings and wait to fly … … This is a scene of CLP Wuhu diamond aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd..

  "Wuhu is a can ‘ Make something out of nothing ’ As long as you have a broad vision, you can fly out of a new world. " Hong Yuning, the general manager of the company, said that the company has gradually formed a complete general aviation industry chain from technology introduction to independent research and development, which has also enabled Wuhu aviation industry to grow from scratch.

  General aviation refers to all civil aviation except regular airline flights used for passenger and cargo transportation, with huge development space. At present, this industrial chain is driving the rapid development of the entire industrial chain such as aircraft R&D and manufacturing in Wuhu City and even Anhui Province.

  As soon as the train of thought changes, the world becomes wider.

  Hunchun, Jilin, is not near the sea. Hunchun tried every means to "borrow a port to go to sea", and opened a land-sea combined transport route with Hunchun as the frontier and facing Northeast Asia-zarubino in Russia-Busan in South Korea. There is no port in Hunchun, thus creating a well-known "seafood city".

  In the investigation, the reporter found that in the face of practical difficulties, more and more localities and enterprises pay attention to adjusting their thinking and strategies, promoting diversified market development and seizing the initiative.

  For Zhejiang dabelin valve co., ltd, building its own brand and developing diversified markets are two cards for enterprises to cope with external challenges.

  "Eggs can’t all be put in one basket. At present, our business has spread to about 130 countries and regions around the world, and we have confidence in coping with external risks." Lin Hailin, chairman of the company, said.

  Change the mechanism, do everything possible to create conditions, and seek development wholeheartedly — —

  "I don’t have to worry about customs clearance, I don’t have to worry about tax stamps, and I can easily buy the whole country and sell it all over the world." In Quanzhou Shishi Clothing City, the store owner Wang Rongxin praised while making tea.

  Thanks to the measures to stabilize foreign trade such as market procurement and trade pilot, the total import and export volume of Quanzhou in the first five months was 76.6 billion yuan, up nearly 11% year-on-year. Among them, the export was about 51.5 billion yuan, an increase of about 20%, much higher than the overall national growth rate.

  A reform can activate a city.

  This is a vivid portrayal of the change of mechanism: the customs clearance time for goods in China has been reduced by more than half; Reduce tariffs to 7.5% several times in a row; The manufacturing value-added tax rate is reduced by 3 percentage points; The proportion of enterprise social security contributions has dropped to 16%; The business environment ranks 32 places higher in the world at a time … …

  What is the economic prospect of China? — — Understanding a "new" word

  "Under the situation of increasing global instability and uncertainties, China’s economic growth remains resilient." In the latest issue of China Economic Bulletin, the World Bank commented on this.

  What is the password for China’s economy to successfully hedge the uncertainty of external environment and develop with each passing day?

  Hedge with the certainty of innovation and continuously cultivate new economic kinetic energy — —

  From the New Bay Bridge in the United States to the canakkale Bridge in Turkey, the cables developed and manufactured by Aosheng Group have been adopted by many landmark large bridges in the world.

  Since the beginning of this year, the cable business of Aosheng Group in Shanghai has received sufficient orders, and the factory has worked overtime. "After more than 20 years of innovation and development, we have won 13 major scientific and technological achievements, including the first prize of national scientific and technological achievements, and have 123 invention patents. Leading technology and reliable quality are the core competitiveness!" Tang Liang, chairman of Aosheng Group, said.

  Get rid of illusions and speed up innovation.

  In the investigation, the reporter found that the awareness of the government and enterprises from "I want to innovate" to "I want to innovate" is more prominent, and the consensus that "seeking innovation means seeking the future" is more cohesive.

  Walking in the core area of Yuehai Street in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, you can feel China’s "heavy" economic weight and "active" innovation power. Many well-known technology companies, such as Tencent and DJI, gather in high density in an area of less than 15 square kilometers. Now there are 156 listed companies in Nanshan District, where the GDP last year exceeded 500 billion yuan … …

  "Strong innovation ability is not only a powerful driving force for development, but also the only ability to determine the survival of an enterprise, and it is the only law that has been repeatedly proved by practice." A department head of Huawei is so emotional.

  With an average of 51 invention patents granted every day, Shenzhen, with the title of "Innovation Capital", has become a vivid footnote in the grand chapter of China’s economic transformation and upgrading, driven by innovation that attracts global attention.

  The total number of R&D personnel ranks first in the world, and the ranking of "2018 Global Innovation Index" rises to 17th. The number of invention patent applications and authorizations ranks first in the world, and the contribution rate of new kinetic energy to China’s economic growth exceeds one third … … In today’s China, innovation and development are becoming a trend.

  With unremitting innovation, China’s economy is full of natural kinetic energy!

  In the first five months of this year, the country added a total of 893 billion yuan in tax reduction and fee reduction, and a series of tax reduction and fee reduction policies, such as deepening the reform of value-added tax and individual tax, gradually became effective.

  New data shows new dividends. This year, it is estimated that the tax reduction and fee reduction of 2 trillion yuan will be unprecedented. This is just a window to observe China’s strong push for reform.

  Develop a topic and make a fuss about reform.

  Starting this year, the "project manager" system in Liaoning Province will cover all enterprises above designated size and key projects. "It is to do nothing and be responsive." As the "housekeeper" of Tencent, Huawei and Liaoning, He Qing, director of the Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, described his work.

  From striving for investment and preferential policies to striving for service and business environment, local governments have carried out healthy competition with new reform measures, highlighting the clear path for China’s economy to achieve high-quality development.

  In January this year, Chengdu took the lead in setting up the first new economic development committee in China, dedicated to creating an institutional environment conducive to the development of the new economy. In Zhongguancun Chuangye Street, the pilot reform of providing the registered address of enterprises free of charge and implementing "cluster registration" has solved the problem of finding business premises for start-ups; In Shanghai, focus on "one network to run" and get rid of the "pain points" and "difficulties" of enterprises and the masses … …

  Remove market access barriers to the maximum extent, speed up the reform of state-owned enterprises, fiscal and taxation, land system and other important areas and key links, reduce the number of industrial production license by more than half, and cancel the decentralization of more than 50 administrative licenses at the central level to create a "one network" of national government services … …

  Determined to reform, China is on a roll!

  Hedge with openness and certainty, and actively build a new pattern of development — —

  Recently, Pfizer’s global headquarters was unveiled in Shanghai, which is the first time that a multinational pharmaceutical company has set up a global headquarters in China. In the first four months, Shanghai’s newly established foreign investment projects, contracted foreign investment and paid-in foreign investment all increased by more than 20% year-on-year, and continued to become a hot spot for global investment.

  In the first five months of this year, China actually used 369.06 billion yuan of foreign capital, up 6.8% year-on-year, and foreign companies cast a "vote of confidence" in China’s economy.

  Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the counter-current of economic globalization, from greatly relaxing market access to strengthening intellectual property protection, from expanding the Pilot Free Trade Zone to introducing a foreign investment law, China’s actions have confirmed its determination to open up.

  On the last day of the first half of the year, China issued a new version of the negative list of foreign investment access, and continued to compress the contents of the list, so that foreign investors will invest in more fields; Introduce the 2019 edition of the catalogue of industries that encourage foreign investment and expand the industries and fields that encourage foreign investment.

  With the continuous opening up, China’s development will naturally have a big pattern!

  "Despite many external unfavorable factors such as the deterioration of international trade conditions, China has maintained a steady growth trend through a series of measures such as tax reduction and fee reduction and opening up." Mao Xuxin, chief economist of the National Economic and Social Research Institute, said.

  Avenue to Jane. After reading China’s determination and actions of innovation, reform and opening-up, we can find the code for China’s economy to move forward steadily without fear of wind and rain. (Reporter Zhang Xudong, Zhao Chao, An Bei, Yu Jiaxin, Chen Weiwei, Jiang Lin)

How to buy travel insurance is more suitable for the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival "Golden Week".

This year’s National Day Mid-Autumn Festival "Golden Week" has a total of eight days of holidays, which is the peak of tourism. While enjoying the journey, we should also pay attention to guard against potential risks, and it is necessary to rationally allocate insurance. Insurance industry insiders suggest that consumers can choose the appropriate insurance type and coverage according to factors such as travel mode, destination and means of transportation. When applying for insurance, you should also pay attention to the effective time of protection, insurance instructions, exemption clauses and health notification, so as to avoid subsequent claims disputes.
Transportation and comprehensive insurance are the foundation.
The reporter learned that many citizens have planned and implemented travel arrangements in advance, and the number of travelers has been increasing. In this regard, insurance industry insiders suggest that consumers with economic conditions can take out relevant travel insurance as soon as possible.
Sun Yajie, a senior insurance broker, said in an interview with a journalist that the first thing you can buy when you travel is traffic accident insurance. Whether traveling by plane, train, long-distance bus or by car, traffic accident insurance is the most basic guarantee. This kind of insurance mainly covers accidental injury and acute attack, and some products also include emergency medical transfer service. For tourists in go on road trip, it is particularly important to buy insurance specifically for go on road trip, which can provide services such as road rescue and vehicle breakdown maintenance to ensure the safety and smoothness of the journey.
So, you have already bought accident insurance, do you still need to buy special travel insurance? This is the doubt of many consumers. Sun Yajie said that travel insurance often includes travel-related risk protection such as sudden illness, sudden death liability, travel delay, property loss, lost documents, emergency rescue, etc. Other high-risk sports are often not covered by ordinary accident insurance, so consumers are advised to buy special travel insurance for tourism when their financial capacity allows.
The reporter learned that among the insurance products designed by insurance companies for tourism, the coverage of various types of insurance is different, including those that provide protection for the possible risks of tourist attractions, those that provide protection for the risks of taking transportation during the journey, those that provide full insurance protection from the beginning to the end of the tour, and various types of additional insurance for tourism. So, how should consumers choose? According to the insiders, if the journey is short and you don’t carry valuables with you, you should mainly consider the protection of personal safety to protect accidental death, disability and medical care. If the distance is long and you need to take a plane or train, you can consider taking out aviation accident insurance and train accident insurance.
Overseas travel and rescue capacity
When citizens buy travel insurance, they should also choose accurately according to their travel destinations. For domestic tourists, you can choose travel insurance covering Chinese mainland (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). This kind of insurance is usually cost-effective and practical, including accidental death and disability, medical expenses, hospitalization allowance, 24-hour emergency rescue and so on. In addition, some products also cover popular sports such as skiing and diving to meet the diverse needs of tourists. If you plan to travel abroad, you need to buy overseas travel accident insurance. You can consult the insurance company and choose the specific products according to your own needs.
It is worth noting that when purchasing overseas travel insurance, the overseas rescue ability of insurance companies is the core consideration, which is directly related to whether insurance can really play a role when tourists encounter unexpected situations overseas.
Taking "Ping An 24" as an example, overseas emergency rescue is its core characteristic service. This product has created an innovative service model of "prevention, rescue and compensation". The rescue network covers the whole world and has served more than 230 countries and regions, providing overseas travel services before, during and after the trip. It also provides 7*24-hour emergency medical rescue and safety rescue, covering various risk scenarios such as war, riots, terrorist attacks, kidnapping, hijacking and natural disasters.
In addition, travel insurance needs to be insured before departure, and the guarantee time covers the time period before departure and after returning home. Before purchasing a certain product, you need to read the Insurance Instructions and precautions carefully to understand the coverage and exemption clauses. At the same time, according to their own travel time, days, planned activities and other factors to choose the right insurance products.
Main points of family property insurance
During the National Day, in addition to personal safety, family property safety can not be ignored. Family property insurance can cover many responsibilities such as indoor property, indoor theft and robbery, and escort home property.
From the protection content, family property insurance mainly focuses on two aspects: on the one hand, for the family property itself, if the family property is lost due to fire and explosion, rain and water leakage, indoor burglary, pipeline leakage, etc., insurance compensation can be obtained; On the other hand, if a third party suffers personal injury or property loss due to fire and explosion, pipeline leakage, family members’ negligence and other reasons, the insurance company will also bear part of the liability for compensation.
In addition, when buying property insurance, you also need to see clearly the scope of insurance and the part that the insurance company is not responsible for compensation. A property insurance company clearly stated that houses and related properties used for business and production are not covered, and rural houses, self-built houses and small property houses are not covered. The structure of these houses can be inquired through certificates such as real estate licenses. "Any loss of property placed in the open air, unsealed balcony, outdoor public corridor or courtyard, but excluding the part of indoor household appliances installed outdoors", the insurance company is also not responsible for compensation. It is worth noting that family property insurance should also be insured in advance, and a family property insurance can take effect as early as the next day.

Home of the car

  For example, if I want to describe the relationship between Volkswagen and Porsche, I really can only think of the words "What’s the hurry?". After more than 80 years of feud and entanglement, the two giant brands have experienced countless undercurrent struggles for interests, and finally the "war" has come to an end temporarily after Volkswagen’s counterattack. For the story between them, let’s start from the beginning and tell you in detail the grievances between Volkswagen and Porsche.

Home of the car

  Speaking of the relationship between Volkswagen and Porsche, we have to mention an old man, that is, ferdinand porsche, the founder of Porsche and Volkswagen. The founding of Volkswagen was also closely related to Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi organization in Germany at that time. It was Hitler’s idea of producing a Volkswagen that only sold 990 marks in 1936 that made the world’s leading car established today. At that time, ferdinand porsche was a famous German automobile designer. He was ordered to lead a group of laborers to start the production of this kind of cheap car, and in 1937, he established "Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutsches Volkswagen MBH" (Volkswagen Company).

  At this point, you may feel strange. Isn’t this ferdinand porsche the founder of Porsche? How did you get involved with the public again? Indeed, ferdinand porsche established the Porsche brand as early as 1931. At that time, Volkswagen was just a cheap car brand that he was "ordered to build" according to the requirements of Hitler’s Nazi government. It can be said that since the day Volkswagen was established, it was destined to be inextricably linked with Porsche.

  Let’s take a look at some genealogies of the Porsche family, and we will know how close Porsche is to the Volkswagen family. First of all, ferdinand porsche’s son Ferry Porsche and grandson Wolfgang Porsche have been running Porsche Automobile Company. Wolfgang Porsche is still the owner of Porsche Automobile, while his daughter Louis Piech and grandson ferdinand piech are in charge of Volkswagen. ferdinand porsche gave 62% of the shares of these two companies to his son Ferry Porsche before his death, and the remaining 38% was owned by his daughter Louis Piech. This is self-evident.

  It stands to reason that no matter how the equity is distributed, Porsche and Piech, who are both the heads of automobile companies and the same family, should have lived in peace. Moreover, the market positioning of Porsche and Volkswagen is quite different, and the direct competition relationship is very small. However, the aggressive personality of ferdinand porsche’s descendants determines that there will be a "blood shed" between Volkswagen and Porsche.

  In the early days of Volkswagen’s establishment, the two companies used to be "brother enterprises" of mutual benefit and exchange of needed goods. Porsche Model 64 produced in 1938 used many spare parts from Volkswagen. In 1969, Volkswagen and Porsche jointly launched VW-Porsche914 and 914-6 models, which were named 914 because this model was equipped with a four-cylinder from Volkswagen, while 914-6 was equipped with a six-cylinder engine from Porsche, showing the close relationship between Volkswagen and Porsche.

  However, the good times didn’t last long. With the death of ferdinand porsche and the continuous development of Volkswagen, Porsche has been completely surpassed by Volkswagen in terms of its share of the global automobile market and actual book revenue, and this momentum has quickly become a reality. Some "jealous" Wolfgang Porsche set his eyes on his "brothers" in the late 1990s.

  In 2004, the Porsche family, whose eyes were locked on Volkswagen, finally ushered in the best acquisition opportunity in theory. In this year, Volkswagen sold a large number of shares because of poor management and high production costs, and went to the brink of bankruptcy. According to statistics, the average wage of Volkswagen’s workers was the highest in Germany, but the production efficiency was the lowest. More than 40% of the factories closed down, and the economy was even more unable to make ends meet.

  Previously, the German government issued a law to prevent audi ag from being acquired by overseas investors, which expressly stipulated that when it comes to major issues such as company acquisition, it needs more than 80% of the support votes to pass, which means that Saxony will always have the veto power over public acquisition, and it is impossible for other companies to intervene in the public. This law is called "The Law of the People", and there are still many controversies today because of its strong local protectionism.

  Although the "Volkswagen Law" has blocked it, the Porsche family will never miss this excellent opportunity. First, they quietly acquired the shares of Volkswagen in the secondary market. By the first half of 2005, Porsche had held nearly 20% of the shares in audi ag. However, Porsche’s erosion of Volkswagen’s shares did not attract people’s attention during this period. Until October 7, 2005, Porsche suddenly announced that it would buy 8.27% of Volkswagen’s shares from institutional investors. At this time, Porsche has held 27.4% of Volkswagen’s shares, becoming the largest shareholder of Volkswagen in the world. Since then, Porsche has increased its shareholding in Volkswagen to 31% in March 2007. However, due to the existence of the Volkswagen Law, Porsche spokesman Bowman made it clear that this action is only a simple increase, and there is no intention of any acquisition.

  At this time, Porsche has become the heart of Si Mazhao, and everyone knows that the so-called "no acquisition intention" is just an excuse to hide the ear. In November 2007, the European Court of Justice proposed to abolish the Volkswagen Law. Porsche welcomed it and said that there was no plan to increase its shareholding. However, this duplicity only lasted for half a year. By 2009, the Porsche family had quietly increased its shareholding in Volkswagen to more than 50%.

  Subsequently, Porsche applied for anti-monopoly investigation. On July 23, 2008, the European Commission approved Porsche to acquire Volkswagen. By the beginning of 2009, Porsche announced at its headquarters in Stuttgart that it had held 50.76% of the ordinary shares of Volkswagen. At this point, I have to mention Porsche’s wishful thinking: if the acquisition is successful, Porsche can merge Volkswagen’s books, use Volkswagen’s funds or even sell Volkswagen’s assets by holding more than 50% of Volkswagen’s shares, and indirectly increase Porsche’s profits to pay off debts. Unfortunately, Porsche’s elaborate wishful thinking did not succeed. The acquisition was considered as a "hostile acquisition" by the German government and Volkswagen, and the Volkswagen Law still had a protective effect on Volkswagen. Therefore, Porsche’s acquisition of Volkswagen finally failed. However, this failure did not dispel Porsche’s idea of acquiring Volkswagen. The careerist is still eyeing Volkswagen.

  However, it didn’t take long for us to find out that this "beast" was actually a "paper tiger" that was weak in the outside. After April 2009, the impact of the world financial turmoil deepened. At this time, Porsche’s debt "high platform" built by the previous crazy acquisition was crumbling, with a total debt of 10 billion euros. Banks also tightened their money and ignored Porsche’s various "applications". At this time, Porsche not only failed in its wishful thinking, but also internally.

  While Porsche suffered the consequences of its aggressive acquisition, Volkswagen controlled its costs from 2007 to 2009, making a successful profit of more than 4 billion euros, and in 2009, it has quietly climbed to the second largest automobile manufacturer in the world.

  At this time, the Piech family thought it was time to implement their plan. In mid-2009, audi ag, led by the Piech family, decided to buy Porsche Automobile Company. Faced with the blow of "brothers", Porsche Company at this time seemed to be at a loss. On July 22 of that year, Volkswagen officially agreed to buy Porsche Automobile by investing 5 billion euros. However, it was not so easy to eat Porsche in one bite. In 2009, Volkswagen spent 3.9 billion euros to acquire 49.9% of Porsche’s shares in its holding company, and the remaining 50.1% of the shares had to be purchased from Porsche Europe joint-stock company before it could fully acquire Porsche cars.

  After being acquired by Volkswagen, Porsche’s business situation has been greatly reversed and it is booming. Volkswagen only provides financial support and does not interfere in the design, production and sales of its models, which makes Porsche cars like a duck to water, with frequent masterpieces, and quickly improves its market share. Volkswagen’s "Tai Ji Chuan" is really good.

Home of the car

  After nearly three years of close cooperation with Porsche, Volkswagen Group officially announced on July 4 this year that it will continue to invest 4.46 billion euros to acquire the remaining shares held by Porsche Europe AG. If the process goes smoothly, Volkswagen will own 100% shares of Porsche after this capital injection. However, this matter has not been implemented until now, and it seems that it will take time to completely solve the feud between Volkswagen and Porsche.

Summary:

  The 80-year feud between Volkswagen and Porsche came to an end with the overall victory of the Piech family. In the last 20 years, we have seen the hysteria of Porsche and the public’s fearlessness in times of crisis. Due to the various interventions of the Volkswagen Law, Porsche not only failed in its wishful thinking, but also ended up being "acquired". In addition, the intrigue and competition for interests among the wealthy families also left us a deep impression. The temptation of rights and the bursting of desires once made Porsche lose its direction, while the public was supercilious and tepid in the whole incident, which not only made them get away with it, but also "helped the brothers" at a critical moment to get Porsche out of trouble and get back on track. It must be said that this is what brothers should have.

My father died suddenly, and my grandmother broke unexpectedly. Female college students took my grandmother to college.

  Amazing decision

  "I was brought up by my grandmother, and now I should take care of her."

  Refuse funding

  "The pressure of the family can hold up for the time being and I don’t want to rely on others."

  There was no class on the afternoon of 16th, and Liu Lin stayed with her grandmother all afternoon. Near the meal, she first warmed up the vegetable egg soup and fish-flavored shredded pork cooked at noon. She was a 1.5-meter-tall girl, and reached out and picked up her grandmother. Grandma’s hands naturally surrounded her granddaughter and sat down beside the bed. Liu Lin served the food to the old man, and the two of them sat quietly eating. "I am strong, and I am directly in the wheelchair when I go downstairs." Liu Lin said with a smile. "How can I live not to spoil! I will follow you. " Grandma, who is a little hard of hearing, asked her granddaughter if she was used to living, and some answered loudly.

  In August this year, after his father died, Liu Lin, a sophomore in the School of Tourism and Economic Management of Chengdu University, made a bold decision to take her 93-year-old grandmother to school and take care of herself.

  Family changes

  She brought her 93-year-old grandmother to Chengdu.

  In April this year, Liu Lin experienced the darkest blow in his life. His father died of illness, and his mother could not bear the great mental pressure and could not take care of the elderly. Earlier in March, a 93-year-old grandmother accidentally fell and fractured her leg.

  "There is no way, no one in the family can take care of her." Liu Lin said that grandma had a hard life, and her three sons, including her father, had already passed away before her. Especially after her father’s death, the fragmented family could not take care of her elderly grandmother comprehensively, and Liu Lin was not at ease to leave the elderly who could not take care of themselves at home. At the beginning of August, Liu Lin made an amazing decision that she would take her grandmother to school and take care of her by herself.

  I’m not just saying. On August 3rd, Liu Lin, his younger brother and cousin rented a car, loaded grandma’s wheelchair and quilt luggage and went straight to Chengdu to rent a single room.

  A room, two beds, a wardrobe, a desk and a coffee table, this is Liu Lin’s "home" off campus with her grandmother. This single room rents 600 yuan every month. My younger brother who works in Chengdu will visit every month. Most of the salary of more than 2,000 yuan in January goes to grandma and sister for living.

  Childhood memories

  "When I was a child, I didn’t understand her."

  "I was brought up by my grandmother, and now I should take care of her." Liu Lin said.

  Liu Lin recalled that when he was a child, he and his younger brother went to school and walked home for more than 10 minutes at noon for dinner. However, his grandmother, who could not read or read clocks, was able to "magically" put the food on the table on time. At that time, her grandmother was over 80 years old. "When I was a child, I didn’t understand, but I had to contradict her." Liu Lin said with a smile, but his rebellious period is very short, probably because of family reasons, he was sensible early.

  A "schoolmaster" who refused funding.

  In addition to taking responsibility, there is also self-improvement

  In the eyes of teacher Zhang Na, Liu Lin is a student with excellent academic performance. When she entered the school, she was selected to Zhang Lan College because of her excellent grades. Considering Liu Lin’s special family situation, she also applied for a work-study post for her — — Go to the college office to be on duty and help the teacher. "She will take the initiative to help clean up, and she will do a good job if the teacher is too busy." Although it takes a lot of energy to take care of grandma, and Liu Lin, who has just finished the general course in Zhang Lan University, still has a lot of professional courses to make up, Liu Lin has never dropped out of the course and is still preparing for the English Singer Competition of the school.

  Knowing what happened to Liu Lins, someone offered to help her, but Liu Lin declined. "I always feel that I am getting something for nothing." Liu Lin said that his younger brother is earning money, and he can also work part-time, so he can support the pressure of his family temporarily and doesn’t want to rely on others.

  N ways to "spoil" grandma

  eat

  The rice should be cooked soft.

  It takes one and a half teeth to bite.

  At 7: 30 in the morning, the alarm clock rang, which was at least half an hour earlier than when I lived in school. Liu Lin has to get up, cook grandma’s favorite dumplings for breakfast, wash her face and brush her teeth, and then fly to school. "Sometimes I still have to oversleep." Liu Lin embarrassedly touched his head. It is simply happiness to sleep more in the morning when there is no class.

  After school at 12 noon, Liu Lin will come back to make lunch at once. I bought vegetables and meat in the vegetable market in the community. Liu Lin made the food soft and thin, which was convenient for grandma who had only one and a half teeth to swallow. Liu Lin said that grandma likes to eat cotton candy, ham sausage, and especially likes preserved eggs and lean porridge. With snacks, Liu Lin doesn’t have to worry about grandma being hungry.

  ramble

  Peers go shopping to buy clothes.

  She pushed her grandmother to watch the square dance in a wheelchair.

  Sometimes when the weather is fine, Liu Lin will use a wheelchair to push her grandmother to the square to watch others dance. Every time she is fascinated, her grandmother always says, "Watch for a while". Because of a broken leg, Liu Lin bought a special bed online in order to make grandma sleep more comfortably. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Lin had a hard time changing the bed to the outside near the bay window, so that grandma could see the lake outside and the light was better.

  "Girls, I like to go shopping in buy buy to buy it!" Speaking of which, Liu Lin, who had always been very calm, was a little excited, but after taking her grandmother, Liu Lin rarely went shopping with her classmates, but she would invite her classmates to dinner at home.

  accompany

  Afraid that the old man will be bored at home alone

  She bought a cat.

  I went to school by myself. How can Grandma live alone at home? Liu Lin downloaded a lot of grandma’s favorite war movies on the computer. "It may just look a little hot, but she may not understand." In order to make the home more lively, Liu Lin bought a kitten and named it "Dangdang", but grandma always vaguely called it "Dandan" and named another hairy bear at the bedside "Xiu Xiu". "It’s a lot more fun to have this cat."

  Liu Lin said that grandma gained some weight after coming to Chengdu, probably because she was in a good mood, and sometimes she would hum her own tune at night. I haven’t thought about the future in detail, but Liu Lin said that no matter where I am in the future, I should take my grandmother with me.

2020 Bugatti Veyron Car Quotation

Only one person can sit, and one tire is 160,000.

Bugai (||)ran Turio, referred to as Bugatti Vision GT, is the only one in the world and is currently in Los Angeles, USA. This car is not a production car, but a "super" for the track. Generally, a supercar can seat two people, but this car can only seat one person. Its body is made of carbon fiber, with exaggerated appearance, shark wings and the French flag on the detachable big tail. This car has many distinctive features, starting with the rearview mirror.

Mirrors are different. The rearview mirror of an ordinary car is lens-type, while the GT is camera-type, and the image is displayed on the center console. In fact, the rearview mirror of the future car should be like this, which can reduce blind spots. As we all know, the blind spot of the car is bigger than that of the car, and the blind spot of the truck is bigger than that of the SUV. If you use such a rearview mirror, you can eliminate literacy, but the cost is too high and it has not been popularized yet. I believe it will be possible in the future. Besides the rearview mirror, there are red things on the windshield and under the rearview mirror of the car. This is a quick-opening device for escape. If there is an accident on the track, the driver will not be trapped. In addition, there is a small window on the roof, which is also used to escape.

The steering wheel is unique and has the feeling of a spaceship. There are buttons on the steering wheel, such as start, wiper, flash, PN gear, and a Vion GT nameplate with Yamaguchi’s signature. This car was born for the track, so it uses a racing seat, a racing seat belt and the LOGO of Vision GT and Bugatti on the seat. These signs and signatures tell you.

A set of tires of Bugatti Veyron is about $40,000, which belongs to aviation grade like airplane tires. The tires were specially made by Michelin for Bugatti. The tires of Vision GT are Michelin, but the price is more expensive than Veyron. A set of tires costs 93,000 dollars, a tire costs more than 20,000 dollars, and a single tire is equivalent to 160,000 yuan. And there are only two sets in the world, and there is also one set at Bugatti headquarters. If the owner needs to replace the tire, he only needs to pay 80,000 euros, 20,000 euros for a tire, not including the wheel hub. The average family car is equivalent to the money of a tire. This car also needs maintenance from time to time. Basic maintenance includes: changing oil, cleaning car glass, adding glass water, checking tire pressure, etc. The cost is 20,000 US dollars. With a little maintenance, a family car will be gone.

This car has four independent remote controls. The height of the chassis can be directly operated by the remote control, and the track mode can be entered with one button. The low body can reduce the drag coefficient and make the car play its best performance. In track mode, the front bumper lip is about 4cm off the ground. Some people may think, how can such a low chassis drive on the road? Actually, this car is built for the track, so don’t worry.

The engine is the same as Bugatti, 8.0-liter W16 4 turbocharged, with a maximum horsepower of about 1,500 horses and a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. As for how much the car can accelerate in 100 kilometers and how fast it can run at the top speed, it has always been a mystery. The official didn’t really test it on the track, but only through a virtual simulator, with a top speed of 447 kilometers per hour. To get the real data, you have to go to the track and try several times. There is only one car in the world, and the owner has no intention of testing it to keep it mysterious.

A set of tires is worth $93,000 and a spare tire is worth  80,000. However, the car keys of this car are really ordinary, on the same level as ordinary (||)7 and (||). The biggest highlight of car keys is that they are too common.

How much is this car worth? The world’s only single-seat Bugatti Vision GT, worth $5.16 million to $18 million. What is this concept? It is equivalent to 20-70 (||) GTBs (US$ 256,550 per vehicle), equivalent to RMB 35.5-124 million. If sold to China, plus tariffs and miscellaneous fees is unthinkable.

Bugatti, you know, can only take one person, one tire is 160 thousand, and there are only two sets of tires. I hope this can help.
