Describing the structure of the Milky Way in several steps

  The picture shows the Milky Way observed in the infrared band. The picture is from the 2MASS Sky Survey project. The pictures are all stitched together from multiple observations. Due to the interstellar extinction in the optical band, it can be seen that the image of the Milky Way in the optical band is light and dark.

  The Milky Way is like humanity’s "most familiar stranger". After more than 200 years of hard work, we still haven’t fully seen its face. A new study has brought us one step closer to the true appearance of the Milky Way.

  On a clear night, looking up at the stars, you will see a milky white bright band running through the night sky, which is the home of hundreds of billions of stars, including the sun – the Milky Way.

  Since more than 200 years ago, people have been trying to understand the structure of the Milky Way.

  This is not simple, not only because we are in it, but also because various interstellar media interfere with people’s vision and obscure the true appearance of the Milky Way.

  Recently, researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory have measured the latest hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio in the Milky Way. This work will help to understand the interstellar medium and is a crucial step in the journey to understanding the structure of the Milky Way.

  The sun is not the center of the galaxy

  In the 17th century, Galileo pointed his telescope at the milky band of light in the sky and found that it was a dense region of stars. In the mid-18th century, the Englishman Wright proposed the Milky Way Conjecture, which believed that the Milky Way is like a flat lens, and the sun is only one of the stars in it.

  The first person to paint a portrait of the Milky Way was the Englishman William Herschel. The 18th-century astronomer built the largest telescope of his time and discovered Uranus. He also focused on the stellar world. After many years of observation, he drew a map of the structure of the Milky Way in 1785, based on the number of stars in all directions in the sky. Unable to determine the distances of distant stars, Herschel assumed that all stars in the sky had the same luminous ability and estimated their distances to Earth based on the actual observed brightness of the stars. His "portrait" of the Milky Way was flat, with an irregular profile, and the sun was located in the center of the Milky Way. Herschel used statistical methods to confirm the hypothesis that the Milky Way is a flat disk for the first time, thus establishing the concept of the Milky Way for the first time.

  In 1906, the Dutch astronomer Kaptan proposed a "selection plan" to re-examine the structure of the Milky Way. His model of the Milky Way was similar to that of Herschel: the sun was centered, the stars in the center were dense, and the edges were sparse.

  Almost at the same time as Captan, the American astronomer Shapley also began to study the structure of the Milky Way. The discovery of Cepheid variables made it possible for scientists to accurately determine the distances of celestial bodies. Shapley determined the distances of Cepheid variables in globular clusters to Earth based on their light change periods, and then studied the structure and size of the Milky Way from the distribution of globular clusters. In 1918, Shapley proposed that the Milky Way is a lenticular star system with its center located in the direction of Sagittarius, rather than the solar system. Later observations gradually proved that Shapley’s model was closer to the real Milky Way, so it is still used today.

  Interstellar Dust is a "central figure"

  Obtaining the true structure of the Milky Way is not easy. According to Shapley’s estimate, the size of the Milky Way is 300,000 light-years. According to the state of the art at the time, this was a very accurate estimate. However, this figure is three times the size of the Milky Way in modern measurements. The reason is that Shapley ignored the extinction effect of the interstellar medium on starlight.

  Space is filled with the interstellar medium. The light emitted by celestial bodies is absorbed or scattered by the interstellar medium before reaching the earth, causing the brightness of the celestial bodies we observe to be dimmer than expected. This process is often called interstellar extinction. The hazy image of the Milky Way in the optical band is the key evidence for the existence of extinction. Therefore, studying interstellar extinction is an important step in obtaining the structure of the Milky Way. Since different components have different extinction values for starlight, extinction research can also help us gain a deeper understanding of the components of the interstellar medium.

  To understand the structure of the Milky Way is to study the distribution of various substances in the Milky Way. The interstellar medium plays a crucial role in the study of the structure of the Milky Way. In the optical band, extinction is mainly produced by dust in the interstellar medium, and the size of the extinction is affected by the total mass, composition and size of the dust. In the X-ray band, heavy elements that are not fully ionized absorb some of the radiation.

  Therefore, extinction in the optical band (characterized by extinction in the V-band) can be used to reveal the dust composition in the interstellar medium. The distribution of heavy elements in the interstellar medium can be known from X-ray absorption (expressed by hydrogen column density), and then the total amount of hydrogen in the three states of atoms, molecules and ionization can be obtained according to the specific proportional relationship between heavy elements and hydrogen in the interstellar medium. Through observations in these two bands, scientists can not only know the corresponding structure of the Milky Way, but also study the relationship between dust composition and gas composition. This is why the parameter of hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio in the Milky Way has attracted much attention.

  A new understanding of the "most familiar stranger"

  As early as the 1980s, it was recognized that the hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio were important for understanding the Milky Way. The current widely used value is still obtained by American scientist Bohlin in 1978. For many years, people have been working to obtain more accurate and reliable results.

  There are generally three ways to measure this parameter. Usually the measurement of optical extinction is easier, and different methods mainly use different methods to measure the hydrogen column density.

  The so-called hydrogen column density is assumed to have a column with a fixed cross-sectional area in the line of sight direction, and the amount of hydrogen contained in this column is the hydrogen column density. Bohlin’s method is to estimate the hydrogen column density based on the absorption of neutral hydrogen and molecular hydrogen in the interstellar medium on the spectral lines of stars in the ultraviolet band. The other two methods are to measure the hydrogen column density according to the neutral hydrogen atom and carbon monoxide radiation, and to measure the hydrogen column density according to the absorption of the interstellar medium on the stellar spectrum in the X-ray band. However, due to the complex composition of the interstellar medium and the small and unreliable sample size, the previous measurement results are not satisfactory.

  The author’s latest work adopts the above third method, that is, the abundance of heavy elements is measured according to the absorption of the X-ray band, and then the hydrogen column density is obtained according to the proportion relationship between heavy elements and gas components. As early as the 1970s, scientists have used this method to study the structure of the Milky Way. However, due to the difficulty of data acquisition, when scientists conducted this study in the past, the sample size was only about 20 at most. In order to expand the sample size, the author’s study for the first time includes the X-ray radiation of supernova remnants, planetary nebulae, and X-ray binaries at the same time. The sample size is expanded to about 100, and the hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio of the Milky Way are recalculated.

  The final results show that this ratio does not vary with the spatial location of the interstellar medium, and the mass ratio of gas to dust in the Milky Way obtained by this ratio is about 140. This means that there is more gas in the Milky Way than expected.

  The Milky Way is a disk with a certain thickness. The latest work also calculated the distribution of hydrogen between two kiloseconds (about 3.26 light-years) and 10 kiloseconds from the center of the galaxy. The research suggests that the disk is denser and decays faster than previously realized. This means that the disk is thinner than previously thought, but denser.

  The Milky Way is like the "most familiar stranger" to humans – although it is close by, it has been unable to see its face clearly. After more than 200 years of efforts by scientists, the outline of the Milky Way’s structure is becoming clearer and clearer. However, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the Milky Way, and we are still on our way.

Chinese tourists were stolen from a taxi in Paris, and French Chinese lawmakers urged the police to pay attention to the case

  China Overseas Chinese Network, May 23rd, according to the French "European Times" reported that recently, Chinese tourists in Paris by taxi was asked to swipe the card after the credit card was stolen brush 140,000 RMB news by the media report, caused the French National Assembly members, France-China Friendship Group Chairperson Chen Wenxiong’s attention and attention, he immediately instructed the team members and the party @Mr. Jiliang, get in touch, detailed understanding of the stolen brush situation.

  On May 21, after learning the full story of the incident, Congressman Chen Wenxiong immediately wrote to the Paris police chief, Didier Lallement, to draw the director’s attention to this case and such cases against tourists, especially Asian tourists, and to improve the security situation. Afterwards, Congressman Chen Wenxiong also wrote to the State Secretary for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, as well as the Paris Tourism Bureau, Shapira, and the Deputy Mayor in charge of tourism in Paris, demanding that tourism safety be taken seriously and the tourism environment in Paris and France be protected.

  In the letter, Congressman Chen Wenxiong detailed the experience of Chinese tourists to the police chief, and handed over the photos of the suspected driver and the suspected license plate number to the La Le Mans commissioner. He hoped that the police would solve the case as soon as possible to ensure the safety of tourism in Paris. For many years, due to prejudice against Asians and other reasons, Asians in France have often been the target of criminals, and violent crimes have also occurred from time to time, he wrote in the letter. Recently, illegal activities against Asians are still very rampant, and the cases of Chinese tourists have triggered discussions on social media, once again confirming the universality and seriousness of this situation. Public security issues involve the daily lives of every citizen, including Asians, and the experience of tourists in France has also greatly affected the international image of France. Chen Wenxiong drew the police chief’s attention to the law and order situation, especially illegal crimes against Asians, and said he would continue to pay attention.

  Chinese tourists stolen 140,000 yuan

  On May 19, Mr. Jiliang, a Chinese tourist, sent a message on his Weibo to remind his friends in France that he took a taxi from Galeries Lafayette general merchandise mall to the airport. After being asked by the driver to swipe his card, the card was stolen. He said: "I just got off the plane and received the credit card consumption information, and the total amount of continuous consumption is about 140,000 (RMB). I was on the plane at the time of consumption, and the card was also at hand, so there is no doubt that it was stolen. If you think about it carefully, it should have been in Paris yesterday. The driver kept saying that he had no cash on him and insisted on swiping the card, so he stole my credit card information. And he deliberately chatted with me on the car and found out about my approximate flight time, so he stole it when the bank called but I couldn’t answer. At that time, the driver asked me to change the card to pay on the grounds that I failed to swipe the card for the first time. And this’China Merchants Bank Card ‘locked the card for me at the first time because the transaction was unsuccessful, so I avoided greater losses. "He said that he also felt that this person was a little strange, so he took a photo of this person. According to his experience, he only used these two cards in taxis. He thought it was the taxi driver at that time.

  After the Weibo of @Mr. Kira, many netizens with the same experience complained that they were also stolen and swiped, and everyone recognized from the photos that they were stolen and swiped by the same driver. The experience is similar: taking a taxi near Lafayette, the driver said he had no money to change, asked to swipe the card, and then was asked when he would return to China, when he would take the plane, etc. During the flight, he stole the credit card. It’s just that some were stolen and swiped, and some were not successfully stolen due to bank security measures.

  After Mr. Kira’s Weibo was sent to WeChat Moments such as French tour guides, it also caused friends living in France to complain, saying that they had similar experiences.

  Theft is crazy, the Chinese Embassy in France has issued a reminder

  Credit card theft is nothing new in France. According to the National Observatory of Crime and Criminal Punishment (ONDRP), the crime of bank card theft in France has been on the rise in recent years. From 2010 to 2013, the number of bank card theft crimes in France rose by 67% in the four years. By 2014, the number of victims reached 451,000, with more than 905,000 bank cards stolen at least once, with an average amount of 112 euros. In 2016, the data reached 1.20 million, and in 2018, the rate of bank card theft in France was the highest in Europe. 69 out of 1,000 cards were stolen. The losses are huge. Figures show that in 2014, the total cost of stolen credit card user information in France amounted to more than 500 million euros.

  As early as August 23, 2017, the Chinese Embassy in France issued a reminder on its website to prevent the theft of French credit cards. This reminder has been hanging on the website of the Chinese Embassy in France to this day. It is reminded that recently, when a number of Chinese tourists were paying for a taxi in Paris, the driver falsely claimed that his company only accepted bank cards for payment, and used the bank card replicator to copy the passenger’s bank card information during the card swiping process, and then used the consumption or withdrawal method to steal the credit card, causing the victim to suffer economic losses ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

  Reminder that France expressly stipulates that taxi drivers must accept passengers to pay the fare in cash or bank cards, and provide machine-printed invoices. As a precaution, the embassy advises Chinese tourists to use small denominations of cash to pay the fare as much as possible. If you really need to use a card to pay, you should avoid letting the taxi driver operate the card swipe, and remember to ask the driver for a ticket. Once you find that the bank card has been stolen, immediately contact the card issuer to report the loss and go to the local police station to report the case.

  In fact, taking a taxi and swiping the card is only a small part of the stolen credit card. And most of them are because of the stolen credit card information, spending on the Internet or Uber. A reader told reporters that he suddenly found in his bank statement that there were many more consumption that he did not know, one is shopping on the Joom.com.GB website, the other is using Uber, each time the cost is not high, but it is used frequently, more than a dozen times, stealing more than 400 euros.

  The Chinese Embassy in France said in its repeated security warnings that Chinese tourists visiting France must carefully read the security reminders issued by the website of the Chinese Embassy in France and the Chinese Consular Service Network before their trip, understand the situation in France, pay close attention to the social security situation in France, and be vigilant. Pay attention to personal and property safety, properly keep personal belongings and identity documents, and enhance self-security awareness. The reporter believes that travelers should do their homework before coming. In fact, such theft crimes have been reminded by the embassy and there are many reports in the media. These are all valid for a long time. With a little attention, tragedies may be avoided.

  France is the top destination for Chinese tourists, spending 4 billion euros a year

  A recent French government announcement said that France received 89.40 million foreign tourists in 2018, an increase of 3% over 2017, setting a new record. Asian tourists were the most prominent in terms of growth, with an increase of 7.4%. Tourism, one of the key sectors supporting the development of the French economy, generated 56.20 billion euros in foreign tourists in 2018, an increase of nearly 5% over the previous year. The French government has set a goal of attracting 100 million foreign tourists by 2020.

  Chinese tourists are the largest group of Asian tourists and contribute a lot to French tourism. In 2018, a total of 2.20 million Chinese tourists arrived in France for tourism, a record high, with an average stay of 6 days. Last year, Chinese tourists spent a total of more than 4 billion euros in France. Among them, 3.75% of Chinese tourists came to France for shopping. The French government has set a goal of attracting 5 million Chinese tourists by 2020. However, France’s tourism safety has been fiercely criticized by Chinese tourists: using cash, being robbed; swiping cards, being stolen and swiped, where do you let tourists go?

  Recently, French Secretary of State Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne announced the establishment of a working group on sustainable tourism, composed of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Solidarity, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, and the French Tourism Development Agency. It will be responsible for providing strategic and specific recommendations for the sustainable development of French tourism to meet environmental, economic and social challenges. He asked France to strengthen the quantitative and qualitative analysis of international tourists, and to study their travel patterns, economic benefits and jobs, so that the government can formulate guiding policies to enhance the diversity of French tourism destinations. The reporter believes that the Ministry of the Interior should also be included. After all, for tourists, safety is a top priority. Without personal safety, other improvements are nothing but water and trees.

  Chen Wenxiong, taking the case of Chinese tourists being victimized as an example, wrote to Lemoyne to pay special attention to tourism safety issues. Only by continuously paying attention to and improving French safety issues can we maintain the sustainable development of French tourism and achieve France’s ambitious goals.

  Mr. Chan Man-hung has long been concerned about law and order issues in France, especially racial crimes such as robberies against Asians. He also suggested the establishment of a working group on law and order and anti-racial discrimination to assist the government and the police in finding effective solutions to racial crimes against Asians.

Can’t buy it at all! Nearly 200 million shares on the ST Daji daily limit are queuing up to buy, and the concept of supply and marketing cooperatives is on fire

  In early trading today, class A shares continued to fluctuate and adjust, and the transactions of the two cities showed a trend of further shrinking, indicating a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the market.

  On the disk, supply and marketing cooperatives, Huawei Hongmeng, ST, controllable nuclear fusion and other plates are leading the way, PEEK materials,Electrical equipment, winemaking, and other sectors led the decline.

  Contrary to the trend

  Stocks bucked the trend and opened higher in the morning, with the sector index rising by more than 3% at one point, and the half-day transaction exceeded yesterday’s full-day transaction.,Wait for multiple straight lines to pull the daily limit;Boundless one-word daily limit, and there are up to nearly 200 million shares on the daily limit waiting in line.

  A few days ago, the Ministry of Transport, MIIT, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Rural Passenger and Freight Mail" to further promote the integrated development of rural passenger transportation, freight logistics, and postal express delivery, so as to better meet the needs of rural people for travel, freight logistics, and delivery services.

  The most typical role of supply and marketing cooperatives is to provide a distribution channel for the crops produced by farmers. In this process, supply and marketing cooperatives participate in the whole process of crops from production to processing, cold chain storage, and circulation to urban wholesale and retail markets. The goods sold by supply and marketing cooperatives include crops, agricultural materials, and at the same time, they also provide a series of services such as waste recycling, financial leasing, catering and accommodation. Therefore, supply and marketing cooperatives involve many industries. These industries are mainly industries that revolve around rural economic development and are strongly related to agriculture.

  The All-China Supply and Marketing Cooperative has said that by 2025, the whole system will build an agricultural socialization service system from top to bottom, the land trust area will reach 150 million mu, the scale of agricultural socialization services in each link will reach 300 million mu, and the service will drive small farmers to 50 million households or more.

  According to the China Research Institute of Industry’s "2023-2028 China’s supply and marketing cooperatives industry development status analysis and investment strategic planning consultation report" data, the modern distribution service network of supply and marketing cooperatives has been continuously improved. At present, the supply of chemical fertilizers accounts for 70% of the social fertilizer consumption, undertakes 70% of the national light storage task, and the recycling of renewable resources accounts for nearly 50% of the whole society. It has initially formed a connection between the origin and the consumption end pointThe market network plays an active role in ensuring the supply of "vegetable baskets", smoothing the domestic circulation, and promoting domestic demand.

  Said that supply and marketing cooperatives, as one of the important distribution channels in rural areas of our country, can provide relatively flat sales channels for agricultural products, thereby reducing the cost of farmers to purchase agricultural materials. In addition, the participation of supply and marketing cooperatives in the agricultural materials sales link is also conducive to the integration of agricultural materials enterprises in our country, thereby driving the industry concentration. Enterprises that belong to the supply and marketing cooperative system or can cut into the agricultural materials sales system of supply and marketing cooperatives are expected to benefit.

  "Pure Blood Hongmeng" is coming soon

  According to the news, Huawei will hold an important event on January 18. Previously, Yu Chengdong revealed that the new HarmonyOS NEXT developer preview will be open to all developers in Quarter 1 this year. Therefore, the market generally anticipates that HarmonyOS NEXT will be officially announced at this event.

  In his 2024 New Year’s letter, Yu Chengdong proposed to open a new decade of Huawei’s end point future development. He specifically mentioned that to build a strong Hongmeng ecosystem in the future, 2024 is a key year for the original Hongmeng, and will accelerate the development of various Hongmeng native applications.

  In his New Year’s speech, Hu Houqian, chairperson of Huawei, also revealed that Huawei is expected to achieve sales revenue of more than 700 billion yuan in 2023, end point business is higher than expected, and the competitiveness of smart car solutions has been significantly improved.

  HarmonyOS NEXT is known as the "pure blood version" Hongmeng system, which will remove the Linux kernel and AOSP code, and completely use the Hongmeng kernel and Hongmeng code. This means that HarmonyOS NEXT will no longer provide Android system compatibility, and APK installation files cannot be opened in the new version of the system.

  Research firm TechInsights recently released its latest forecast for Android and Android in 2024iOS will continue to maintain its global dominance, but its share in the Chinese market will be cannibalized by Huawei Harmony OS. From 2024, Harmony OS will become the second largest smartphone operating system in the Chinese market.

  IDC data also shows that as of November 2023, Huawei’s mobile phone market share in the domestic mobile phone market reached 14%. IDC forecasts that in 2026 ChinaThe number of devices connected reached 10.25 billion, and it is conservatively estimated that Huawei’s OpenHarmony + HarmonyOS market share will reach 16% in 2026.

  It is believed that Hongmeng C-end is expected to be fully rolled out, and "pure blood Hongmeng" PCs and mobile phones are expected to be released. Mobile end, Huawei has fully cooperated with partners and developers in 18 fields to fully promote the development of Hongmeng native applications. PC end, if Hongmeng PC has a new product release, it will initially be oriented towards government affairs,And other related industries are expected to increase their volume.

Apple iPhone 16 standard A18 processor: TSMC second generation 3nm process

  iPhone 14, iPhone 15 series use two processors at the same time, the Pro series is "superior", but in next year’s iPhone 16 series, this situation may change.

Apple iPhone 16 standard A18 processor: TSMC second generation 3nm process

  Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu learned from the supply chain that the A17 Pro is a transitional design, and the iPhone 16 series will be equipped with A18 processors as standard, and they are all manufactured by TSMC N3E process.

  However, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus uses the standard version of A18, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max uses the more advanced A18 Pro, but the specific difference between the two is temporarily unknown.

  If so, the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus upgrade will be a leap.

  Apple A17 Pro is currently the only 3nm process chip, using TSMC’s first-generation N3B, while the next A18 uses N3E, which is TSMC’s second-generation 3nm, with lower cost and higher yield, but also lower performance.

  Of course, iPhone 16 is still a year away, anything is possible.

  However, Jeff Pu has repeatedly revealed new changes to the iPhone, such as the iPhone 15 Pro series will give up silent picks, the memory will be increased to 8GB, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will increase in price, and so on.

The 3 new products are: glass bottles of high-end mineral water, natural drinking water (suitable for infants and young children), and natural mineral water for students. It is expected to meet consumers before the Spring Festival.

  Zhong said that the Moya spring in Changbai Mountain is a low-sodium light mineral spring, which is more suitable for Chinese people to drink for a long time than ordinary mineral water. In addition to repeatedly emphasizing the rarity of low-sodium light mineral springs, Zhong also gave examples: water that meets such conditions is usually used to produce the highest-end water, such as natural rock water in Norway, glacier mineral water in Canada, and volcanic mineral water in Italy.

  According to reports, the price of glass bottles of high-end mineral water is about 35 yuan to 45 yuan/bottle, 1 liter of infant drinking water is about 10 yuan/bottle, and student mineral water is about 4 yuan per bottle. I think that the small partners who buy glass bottles of high-end mineral water are not drinking water, but willful…

  Also, a farmer who is unwilling to be "mediocre" sells a bottle of water for 45 yuan, Hengda Bingquan, can you bear it?

Because of 18.87 million, Wanda Real Estate has become a "dishonest person"!

  After a lapse of three months, Wanda Real Estate Group has become a "dishonest person" again.

  Recently, according to the China Enforcement Information Disclosure Network, Wanda Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., and Heyuan Fuxin Construction Co., Ltd., refused to perform the obligation to determine the effective legal documents due to their ability to perform, and were listed as dishonest persons subject to enforcement by the Shanghai Second Intermediate People’s Court (hereinafter referred to as "dishonest persons"), involving a domestic non-foreign-related arbitration award. Not long ago, due to the arbitration case, the above companies have been forcibly executed for more than 18.87 million yuan.

  It is worth mentioning that in April this year, Wanda Real Estate Group and other non-foreign-related arbitration awards have been listed as dishonest persons subject to enforcement once.

  Dalian Wanda Group is in constant trouble. In addition to Wanda Real Estate, Wanda’s commercial management-related equity has also been frozen recently.

  Due to 18.87 million, Wanda Real Estate has once again become a "dishonest person"

  Tianyancha shows that recently, Wanda Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Wanda Real Estate") and its Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Heyuan Fuxin Construction Co., Ltd. added a new information on the person subject to execution, and the execution target 18.87 million Yu Yuan, which was listed as a dishonest person subject to execution by the Shanghai Second Intermediate People’s Court.

  Tianyancha App shows that Wanda Real Estate was established in February 2018 with a registered capital of about 4.05 billion yuan, and the legal representative is Qu Xiaodong, jointly held by Shenzhen Dixun Industrial Co., Ltd. and Futai (Hong Kong) Investment Co., Ltd. with a shareholding ratio of 98.7% and 1.3% respectively. Shenzhen Dixun Industrial Co., Ltd. is 100% owned by Wanda general merchandise. The predecessor of Wanda general merchandise group was registered in Hong Kong by Wang Jianlin in the early years. Dixun investment.

  It is worth mentioning that Wanda Real Estate in April due to non-fulfillment of 245 million has been listed as a dishonest person to be executed once, and was restricted from high consumption.

  According to the data, on April 4 this year, due to the application of the applicant China Fuxing Co., Ltd., the court officially filed the case, mainly because Wanda Real Estate failed to perform the payment obligations determined by the effective legal documents within the period specified in the notice of execution in the domestic arbitration award case. Subsequently, Wanda Real Estate Group, Heyuan Fuxin Construction Co., Ltd., and Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. became the executors.

  It is understood that the reason why Wanda Real Estate became a "dishonest person" was due to the real estate project planted in Heyuan, Guangdong, which was sued by its former partners. In April this year, the court listed as the person subject to execution, in addition to Wanda Real Estate, also includes Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Heyuan Fuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. are 100% owned by Wanda Real Estate. Among them, Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and China Fuxing Co., Ltd. hold 90% and 10% respectively. This time Wanda Real Estate is sued by China Fuxing Co., Ltd.

  On July 24, the Shanghai Second Intermediate People’s Court issued a consumption restriction order showing that the court filed a case on July 12, and the enforcement applicant was still China Fortune Star Co., Ltd., applying for the enforcement of Wanda Real Estate’s domestic non-foreign-related arbitration award. In the case of arbitration, the court issued a consumption restriction order because Wanda Real Estate failed to fulfill the payment obligations determined by the effective legal documents within the period specified in the execution notice.

  As of now, Tianyancha shows that Wanda Real Estate has multiple information on the person being executed, and the cumulative execution is about 265 million yuan.

  Wanda’s commercial management stake has also been frozen

  Tianyancha App shows that recently, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management Group joint stock company (referred to as "Wanda Commercial Management") added two equity freezing information, the executor is Dalian Wanda Commercial Management Group joint stock company, the amount of frozen equity is 5.072 billion and 100 million, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management is the main body of Wanda Hong Kong IPO, and Dalian Wanda Commercial Management is the largest shareholder of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management.

  According to public information, the above freezing period is from July 4, 2023 to July 3, 2026, and from July 5, 2023 to July 4, 2026, respectively. The enforcement courts are the Zhanjiang City Intermediate People’s Court of Guangdong Province and the Dezhou City Intermediate People’s Court of Shandong Province.

  It is worth mentioning that Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has submitted its IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the fourth time. Previously, in October 2021, April 2022 and October 2022, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management submitted listing application materials to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange three times, but ultimately failed to list.

  On July 20, Wanda Commercial Management announced that in terms of ratings, on July 18, China Chengxin International decided to maintain the credit rating of Wanda Commercial Management’s main body and related debt as AAA, and adjusted its main body and related debt outlook from stable to included in the credit rating watch list. The previous rating outlook was stable.

  In terms of overseas ratings, as of July 20, Fitch downgraded its long-term foreign currency issuer default rating to B, maintaining a negative outlook. Moody’s downgraded its long-term foreign currency issuer default rating to Caa1, maintaining a negative outlook; Standard & Poor’s downgraded its long-term issuer credit rating to CCC, maintaining a negative outlook.

  The reasons for the adjustment of the above rating agencies are mainly due to the fact that the refinancing channels of Wanda Commercial Management’s open market have not been restored, the continuous net repayment of maturing debts, the listing progress of its subsidiary Zhuhai Commercial Management is less than expected, and some of the equity held has been frozen, etc. Liquidity pressure has increased.

"Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang 2" Ren Xianqi took off for the first time, crazy like a Transformer

        Directed by the gold-medal director Li Li, the costume action comedy starring stars such as Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jingchu, Ren Xianqi, Chen Baixiang and Zhou Libo will be officially released nationwide on July 9. Among them, Xu Zhenqing, played by Ren Xianqi, is transformed into an ancient Einstein. All kinds of whimsical inventions make people laugh. In order to test the effect of his own inventions, Ren Xianqi is even more willing to go naked and test drugs.

Ren Xianqi incarnates as Optimus Prime

        Xu Zhenqing, played by Ren Xianqi, as a generation of Jiangnan talents, was transformed into an ancient Chinese version of Einstein in the movie. Invisible Pills, Transformers, etc. were all successfully tested by him. These inventions not only became sharp weapons against the enemy, but also became a "must-have magic weapon" to play tricks on friends around him. Zhu Zhishan, played by Chen Baixiang, mistakenly thought that he had taken the invisible pill he invented and made a fool of himself, and his body and psychology were destroyed. In the final Armageddon, Ren Xianqi, who was armed with a sharp weapon, went into battle naked, and the big Transformers Autobots logo on his chest also made him the embodiment of justice. I believe that how this ancient version of Optimus Prime breaks the enemy will definitely become a major attraction of this film.

Dedicated to the screen for the first time

        Unlike Chen Baixiang’s naked exit, Ren Xianqi’s body is stronger than the old talent Chen Baixiang’s round and jade figure, and Ren Xianqi’s perfect muscle lines are believed to make many female audiences feast their eyes and fantasize. According to Ren Xianqi himself, he made full preparations for this nude scene: "I have been practicing in the gym for a long time before coming to the cast, because this is the first time I have taken off so much, so I must give the audience a surprise, and I must not lose to Brother Baixiang." Compared with Ren Xianqi’s naked appearance this time, his inventions that travel through the future and his instant noodle hairstyle that is full of presence are no longer so important, and "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang 2", which brings together two male stars’ naked scenes, has also become a summer must-see film for female audiences.

The exposure draft proposes that if a network car-hailing platform company has violated laws and regulations, and after being jointly interviewed twice within 3 months, it still refuses to correct it. After collective discussion by the joint regulatory authorities, it can start the carrier processing process such as suspending the release and removing mobile Internet applications (APPs) from the shelves.

  authoritative release

  1. Strengthening supervision: including the removal of APP as a means of punishment

  According to the exposure draft, if a car-hailing platform company violates laws and regulations and refuses to correct it after being jointly interviewed twice within 3 months, after collective discussion by the joint regulatory authorities, it can start the carrier processing process such as suspending the release and delisting of mobile Internet applications (APPs). In addition, if the mobile Internet applications (APPs) and other carriers of the car-hailing platform company are suspended and delisted, and the above violations continue to occur, the joint regulatory authorities can start the disposition process of stopping internet service, stopping networking or downtime for rectification.

  So, under what circumstances will online car-hailing platform companies be interviewed? The exposure draft proposes that those who engage in online car-hailing business activities without obtaining an online car-hailing business license or engage in online car-hailing business activities in a disguised form shall be dealt with by the transportation authorities at or above the county level in accordance with laws and regulations. If an online car-hailing platform company that has obtained an online car-hailing business license violates laws and regulations, it shall be dealt with by the departments of transportation, development and reform, public security, economy and informatization, commerce, industry and commerce, quality supervision, human resources and social security, taxation, online information, and the People’s Bank of China within the scope of their respective duties. If the violations involve multiple departments, the relevant departments may conduct joint interviews.

  2 Security upgrade: APP should not have heterosexual social functions

  In the exposure draft, Foshan’s security management of online car-hailing continues to be upgraded, and proposes that "the client side application should not have heterosexual social functions, and should have the following safety service functions: the basic attribute information and location information of the vehicle and the driver Real-time sharing function, the third person confirmed by the driver or the passenger in writing can view the vehicle’s dynamic location information during the service process at any time; personal phone encryption function, the passenger and the driver communicate through technical means; ‘One-click call’ function, when the passenger is used in an emergency, the real-time dynamic information of the vehicle and the driver information can be automatically sent to the online car-hailing platform company."

  In addition, the exposure draft also proposes that the online car-hailing platform company should conduct real-time dynamic monitoring of vehicle operation and service process through the online car-hailing platform and in-vehicle service end point, and should collect personal characteristic data such as driver portraits in real time during operating hours. Compared with the personal identity information of the driver in the background; the in-vehicle service end point should adopt the mainstream operating system compatible with the supervision and service software, and ensure that the normal operation of the supervision and service software at the in-vehicle service end point is not disturbed.

  At the same time, the exposure draft emphasizes that platform operators should submit the information of drivers and vehicles connected to the network, including online car-hailing and private passenger car-sharing services, to the municipal public security organs at least once a quarter, and the municipal public security organs will conduct background checks in conjunction with the transportation department. For drivers and vehicles that fail the review, platform operators should be fully cleared. Platform operators who are also engaged in private passenger car-sharing information services should refer to the background verification of online car-hailing drivers and relevant regulatory requirements for network access management.

  3 Model standard adjustment: two types of new energy vehicles will be required from July next year

  According to the exposure draft, in addition to meeting the conditions stipulated in the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services, the vehicles to be engaged in online car-hailing should also meet the following conditions: 7-seat and below new energy vehicles, with a vehicle wheelbase of not less than 2650 mm. From July 1, 2019, the new energy vehicles applying for online car-hailing should be pure electric vehicles or fuel cell vehicles. Register in Foshan, obtain a vehicle driving license issued by the Foshan public security organ, and the date of initial registration and acquisition of the "Motor Vehicle Driving License" to the date of application for the "Online Booking Taxi Transportation License" is less than two years.

  At the same time, the valid period of the "Network Booking Taxi Transport Certificate" is linked to the service life of the vehicle, and the longest is no more than 8 years. When the mileage of the online car reaches 600,000 kilometers, it will be forcibly scrapped; when the mileage does not reach 600,000 kilometers but the service life reaches 8 years, it will withdraw from the online car-hailing operation, and the municipal transportation authority will cancel the corresponding "Network Booking Taxi Transport Certificate"; when the mileage of the vehicle that exits the online car-hailing operation reaches 600,000 kilometers, it will be forcibly scrapped.

  In terms of drivers, the exposure draft proposes that drivers who engage in online car-hailing services, in addition to meeting the conditions stipulated in the Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services, should also meet the following conditions: have Foshan household registration or Foshan "Residence Permit"; approved by the examination agency confirmed by the Foshan transportation authority, familiar with Foshan human geography, master passenger transportation services and safety emergency response skills; have obtained Foshan cruise car driver qualification and on-duty operation, serve in Foshan for 3 years without bad integrity records, and have a service quality reputation assessment of AAA or above in the past 3 years, can directly apply for the "Online Booking Taxi Driver’s License", and the driver’s license is valid for 3 years.

  Department interpretation

  If you fail the exam within 3 months, you need to resubmit your application

  Yesterday, the Foshan transportation department made a detailed interpretation of the background of this revision.

  In view of the fact that some drivers do not take the test at the agreed time, resulting in a waste of test resources, and if they do not take the test for a long time after the background check, the background information may change greatly, so the exposure draft increases the driver’s test time limit in Article 23, and clearly requires the driver to make an appointment for the test at the designated location within 7 working days after receiving the approval information, and complete the test within 3 months.

  In addition, the exposure draft also strengthened the security background review and public safety maintenance, clear public security organs should network about car drivers and vehicles for security background review, and public security organs in accordance with the law to carry out national security work, prevention and investigation of illegal and criminal activities, network about car platform companies must provide technical support and assistance, truthfully submit data information. Network about car platform companies refuse to perform, the public security organs shall be dealt with according to law; constitute a crime, criminal responsibility according to law.
