Blockchain "capital plate" scam: MLM-style head-pulling, betting on who runs fast

Official website, Hunan Provincial Local Financial Supervision Administration, showed that as early as March this year, Wenyuan Police Station in Tianxin District of Changsha City had investigated and dealt with the local "PlusToken Blockchain Wallet" propaganda dens. The police said that the "PlusToken blockchain wallet" has the typical characteristics of pyramid schemes by charging threshold fees, developing offline and rewarding at different levels in the name of blockchain.And a platform called "Bitter Dog" packages the pyramid scheme into a blockchain entertainment pet platform. According to the platform, "Bitdog" is a blockchain entertainment pet platform jointly developed by dogecoin development team, game development company and American Bitdog Games Foundation. According to the platform data, the "Bitter Dog" experience version has exceeded 20,000 participants in less than one month since it was launched on June 5, adding more than 2,000 people every day.Its operation mode is also inseparable from "pulling people’s heads". The "Pit Dog" platform stipulates that participants need to be recommended by referees to register as ordinary members. Ordinary members who want to make money by feeding pit bulls need to set up a pit bull account through referees and pay 99 yuan to adopt a pit bull. Then buy a feeding package to feed Bitter Dog. In the process of feeding, Bitter Dog can generate BTGS virtual currency by mining every day.The reporter found that the most striking feature of many platforms is to encourage players to develop offline through layers of reward mechanisms."Because there is no actual business in this kind of project, if you want to make the plate bigger, you must constantly circle money. Part of the money coming in is used to pay the high rebate in the early stage, in order to attract more people to enter the game, and the other part is cashed out by the’ owner’. Once the treasury board doesn’t have enough funds to pay for cash withdrawal, it will basically collapse, "Zhang Lei said.Lawyer Wang Deyi said that in the course of business operation, some capital plates promote their business by developing offline and double-entry payment, but these capital plates are not supported by real projects or products.Xiao Lei, a financial commentator, believes that the capital plate is actually a variant of pyramid scheme. Because many targets are standardized and convenient to trade, the capital plate can attract more funds in a short time, which is more harmful than the previous way of raising funds by attracting people. There are many legal definitions of pyramid schemes, such as more than three-level rebate system, etc. But at present, the capital plate is often more concealed, but it can achieve the effect of pyramid schemes. Because of the pulling of the plate, people who entered in the early stage are more likely to make profits. In order to attract more people, these people will use the way of pulling people’s heads to conduct pyramid marketing, which is consistent with the essential logic of pyramid schemes."Do you know that these projects are pyramid schemes?" In the face of a reporter’s question, Zhang Lei didn’t seem to mind. "At present, many blockchain funds are like this. You can think that it is a pyramid scheme, but I think there will be projects that are really doing things, and I can make money.""In fact, this kind of project, like pass the parcel, you never know when it will collapse. However, the only thing that is certain is that the later you enter the game, the greater the risk, "Wang Bo said.Hundreds of thousands can design a gold plate, and who can run fast?Qian Hao (pseudonym) is a bitcoin OTC trader, who was swept away by more than 2 million in a previous "non-smoking case". Recently, he told reporters that he began to consider participating in the fund plate, and pulled a WeChat group of 100 people to prepare for the promotion project."I have known a person who intends to be a’ disc owner’ to operate the fund disc. I intend to invest as an early participant and help him get ahead." Qian Hao said.According to him, the release of a virtual digital currency means sitting in the village. At present, some "outsourcers" provide mining machines, which can produce coins every day. At the same time, they also provide services for the development of the gold plate APP, which can help dealers design trading systems. The system can rent a foreign server and store both the APP and the website abroad."In fact, it’s very simple. Generally, about 100,000 yuan can be used by an outsourcer to help you design a wealth management disk, which is generally packaged into wealth management products. Recently, there are many such (wealth management)," Qian Hao said.Qian Hao said that when the owner can not only charge transaction fees, he can also hoard coins in the early stage and sell them to earn the difference after the price rises. And early investors like them will also hoard money with the bookmakers and then take the initiative to promote the group. In response to how to raise the price of virtual currency, he said, "It is still necessary to give people a feeling that the project is very promising and the supply is in short supply, and the price will rise."Will you worry about the project running away? Qian Hao said that even if the project ran away later, he would not lose money. In his view, he is an early member of "playing the world" with the dealer, and he has to hoard coins with the dealer until the high point is sold. Therefore, the interests are the same in the short term. "The dealer feels that he has earned enough, and the project may indeed go offline, but at that time I had already quit. This kind of project is gambling, and it is to compete with the owner to run faster," he said.When the reporter asked about the name of the project, he said he didn’t want to disclose it, but he had prepared a white paper and was about to go online.Simomo (a pseudonym), an investor in blockchain, said that the operation routines of the capital market are actually very similar. In the early stage of launching a new market, they will not only sell a high amount of virtual currency to the market, but also give investors in the early stage dozens of times of returns, so that they can "taste the sweetness". In this way, more people will invest in the market and circle more funds. However, when the owner feels that he has earned enough, this fund will become a "dead plate" and investors will not be able to withdraw cash and will be locked up."What’s more, the owner may open a new offer, so that some of the funds of the investors who were’ locked in’ by the previous investment offer can be invested in the new offer and then start operation. At this time, some investors may even be overjoyed because the money is’ alive again’, and may invest again with the mentality of recovering losses, "Simomo said.According to the reporter’s investigation, there are still many projects with pyramid schemes in operation.It is difficult for investors to defend their rights.Introduced by friends and relatives, in a dilemma.The reporter observed in a number of rights groups in PlusToken and Bochang Super Community that, similar to most pyramid schemes, many participants were introduced by relatives and friends. As a result, when the project was running, many people said that if they called the police, they "felt sorry for their relatives and friends, fearing that they would be fined and even face jail." However, if you don’t call the police and want to recover the principal, you are in a dilemma.Some players will also publicly advise in the group: "Have you ever thought about the difference between taking the initiative to report a case to assist in the investigation and covering up a crime, and that reporting a case can recover your own funds through pyramid schemes and illegal fund-raising? Report the case early, recover it early and control the team leader. " Some investors decided to report the case.In fact, as early as September 2017, seven departments, including the Central Bank, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, issued the Announcement on Preventing the Financing Risks of Token Issuance. The announcement clearly stated that any token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and token and virtual currency, and shall not buy or sell, and shall not provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or virtual currency.The announcement also pointed out that tokens are essentially an unauthorized illegal public financing act, which is suspected of illegal selling of tokens, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal and criminal activities.Xiao Sa, a partner of a well-known law firm, publicly suggested that investors should collect evidence. For the follow-up road of rights protection, the most realistic thing is to collect all the relationships between yourself and the platform, such as platform recharge, screenshots of investment details, and bank running water with official seals. Secondly, because this kind of case belongs to the case of stakeholders, the problems encountered by a single investor may not represent anything, but if many people have similar situations, then a rights group can be established to exchange information and share information, and it is also convenient to go to the public security bureau to handle cases and attract attention.In view of what charges such cases will be filed, Wang Deyi, a lawyer of Xunzhen Law Firm, said that according to the provisions of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security on the standards for filing and prosecuting criminal cases under the jurisdiction of public security organs (II), [fund-raising fraud (Article 192 of the Criminal Law)] for the purpose of illegal possession, if it is suspected of one of the following circumstances, it should be filed for prosecution: (1) individual fund-raising fraud with an amount of more than 100,000 yuan. (two) unit fund-raising fraud, the amount of more than five hundred thousand yuan.According to the network of judgment documents, there are 139 judgment documents concerning the criminal cause of "capital plate", among which the crime of organizing and leading pyramid schemes generally involves the largest number of cases, reaching 86; There are 12 crimes of illegally absorbing public deposits and fund-raising fraud, and the rest are other types of crimes.Wang Deyi said that at present, many projects that use blockchain technology to make capital plates have collapsed and run away, and it is difficult for investors to recover losses. In this case, it is difficult for investors to safeguard their rights and interests through civil litigation, and they can only request the public security organs to file a criminal case. The "victims" of such cases are distributed all over the world, and the behind-the-scenes controllers of these funds may be overseas or hide their true identities. The funds or tokens invested by investors are likely to be transferred by the other party through technical means. Therefore, even if the public security organs file a case for investigation, the handling of related cases is likely to be very long.Beijing News reporter Zhang Shuxin Chen Peng editor Li Weijia proofreads Fan Jinchun.

Awkward! Why does the three-meter height limit gate cross the national highway and violate the two regulations

       CCTV News:National Highway 228 from Dandong, Liaoning to Dongxing, Guangxi is the National Highway Network Planning (2013 — One of the 47 north-south vertical lines identified in 2030 runs through dozens of cities in ten provinces. However, recently, some people reported that this national road was blocked by a 3-meter height limit door in Panjin City, Liaoning Province. The height limit of 3 meters means that all large trucks will be impassable. Why is there a height limit gate on the national highway? Our reporter went to the local area to investigate.

       Go from Jinzhou, Liaoning Province to Panjin along National Highway 228, pass the Dalinghe Bridge with a total length of more than 2,800 meters, turn left at the bridge head, and a door with a height limit of 3 meters crosses the road. The big trucks passing through here have to make a detour in advance.

one

       The reporter consulted the transportation departments of Panjin and Jinzhou. In fact, there are signposts for height limit doors in both places, but the signposts are about 30 kilometers away from the height limit doors.

one

       The height limit of 3 meters does not hinder ordinary vehicles, but the height of large trucks is generally 3 to 4 meters, which means that all large vehicles must bypass here. The reporter followed the big truck that needed to send the blood from the car to Jinzhou before 10 o’clock that night, and it took more than an hour to detour. Plus the delivery time on the Jingha Expressway, this big truck walked for two and a half hours because of this height limit door.

       The 5 km section of the national highway is located in the buffer zone of the national nature reserve.

       In 2019, the Ministry of Transport emphasized in the special action to clean up the height and width limit points that it is not allowed to "set up height and width limit facilities on national highways and provincial highways without legal and administrative regulations". In the interview, the reporter learned that the sudden appearance of this 3-meter height limit gate on National Highway 228 is related to the fact that this national highway is located in the local Liaohekou National Nature Reserve.

one

       When the National Highway 228 runs from the height limit gate to Panjin, it enters the Liaohekou National Nature Reserve. The total length of the National Highway in the reserve is 37.7 kilometers, of which about 5.4 kilometers pass through the buffer zone of the reserve.

       Hou Jun, deputy director of Panjin Forestry and Wetland Protection Administration: "According to the Regulations on Nature Reserves, generally speaking, except for scientific research, no one can enter the buffer zone."

one

       The reporter learned that this road was built in 1971; In 1988, Liaohekou National Nature Reserve was established; In 1994, the Regulations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Nature Reserve was promulgated. In other words, there were no relevant regulations when building this section of road; However, after the entry into force of the Regulations on Nature Reserves, vehicles that are not performing scientific research tasks should not enter the buffer zone, otherwise it will violate the Regulations on Nature Reserves.

       Hou Jun, deputy director of Panjin Forestry and Wetland Protection Administration, said: "The roads are particularly narrow, and it is very difficult for large trucks to meet each other. If there is a traffic accident, especially if dangerous chemicals vehicles are leaked, it will have a great impact on the biodiversity of the reserve, including key protected animals, such as red-crowned cranes and black-billed gulls."

       However, when the site of National Highway 228 was selected in 2015, the local government declared this road passing through Liaohekou National Nature Reserve as a recommended route. Subsequently, this section of the road was incorporated into National Highway 228.

       Without EIA procedures, a national highway violates two regulations.

       Then, knowing that it violated the Regulations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Nature Reserve, how did this road get into the national highway through the EIA procedure? Continue to look at the reporter’s investigation.

one

       During the reporter’s investigation, Panjin Municipal Transportation Bureau, Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau and Municipal Forestry and Wetland Protection Administration jointly provided a "Description of the Situation" for this matter, saying: In 2015, when the local site was selected for National Highway 228, there was no other better choice, so this road through the reserve was chosen. The relevant departments told reporters that they could not provide the EIA procedures for this section of the road.

       In fact, as early as 2018, in view of the problems existing in this road, Panjin City issued a rectification plan, which promised: "Before the end of 2018, the 5.4-kilometer section of the buffer zone will be restricted first, and large trucks and hazardous chemicals vehicles will be prohibited from passing." This is the 3-meter height limit gate on this national road. However, this practice violates relevant laws and regulations.

one

       At the same time, it is mentioned in the "Description of the Situation" jointly provided by three relevant departments in Panjin City that "at present, the transportation department has begun to promote the relevant work of adjusting the route of National Highway 228." It is planned to come up with an adjustment plan in the near future and report it. After examination and approval, the 228 national highway line will be changed to fundamentally solve this problem. However, there is no clear timetable yet.

       Yao Yuan, deputy director of Panjin Transportation Service Center, said: "It is definitely necessary to avoid protected areas in the future and finally achieve long-term stability of highways. Environmental protection is the red line, and safety and smoothness are also the lifeline of our highways."

The hidden rules of "rice circle": krypton gold, making data, moving "no money is not real powder"

The list is still being extended.


Zheng Shuang and Zhao Wei have been added to the list of Wu Yifan, Henry, Zhang Zhehan and Weibo.


These once-hot top streams were able to shut down the servers in Weibo on their own, but when the superstars disappeared, the film and television dramas were pulled off the shelves and the Weibo list was cancelled, it seemed that the evidence of their existence never happened.


The faster the collapse of the stars, the more questions need to be asked. Who and how did they shape these idols that once seemed perfect but were actually inferior?


Undeniably, the controversial "rice circle culture" is an extremely important link in the "star-making" movement.


Phoenix. com’s "Eye of the Storm" first got to know the auspicious office workers in idolize through the recommendation of surrounding relatives and friends; After that, through Weibo’s search for "anti-black", "control review" and other terms, I found the official Weibo, who was specifically responsible for calling for data. When pretending to be a newcomer fan who just came to into the pit to ask how to do data, I met a senior "data worker" who was attending college. Xiaomi; And search for terms such as "starting school" and "senior high school entrance examination" in the super-talk, and communicate with related posting fans about how to do homework. After idolize, he met Beibei, an underage fan who is still in the third grade.


During the 15 days of getting along, Phoenix. com’s Eye of the Storm learned to forward Weibo who praised the celebrity endorsement brand with them, post comments on water points in Chaohua, and buy the cp around the star station … and observe in real time how the "data women workers", office workers, minors and other groups who were accused of evaluation were in idolize.


In the information cocoon room built for fans, it is not easy for foreign people to break through it. Here, everyone has only one belief, and for this belief, they need to know the stars in every detail.


In order to further observe this group of fans, Phoenix. com’s Eye of the Storm located the Tianfu Youth League on Weibo, trying to join their fan base. However, when joining the group, it didn’t answer "How old is Xi Haifeng?" When is the birthday? " These two questions were rejected.


In the 15 days of going deep into the undercover rice circle, Phoenix’s Eye of the Storm found that in the era of efficient data, "idolize" has long since evolved into a refined industrial chain with clear division of labor and strict organization."Krypton gold", "moving" and "doing data" are interlocking; Fans, pink heads, and standing sisters all perform their duties, and everything is in order.


However, this orderly order has created more chaos-fans scolding each other, circling money, and lacking supervision, which makes every business-related link full of parasites who are interested in interests.


It is in this flawed business that stars are produced quickly, and stars disappear quickly, leaving only a "god-making" assembly line roaring in the virtual factory, which is noisy.


top up money; Khorium


Fans spend money on their favorite idols.


"Now the brand can be a chicken thief, and there is always a way for fans to save money."


Auspicious listed clothes, shoes, shampoo, lipstick and other items one by one. Roughly speaking, there are thousands of dollars. These are all endorsed by her love beans, which is her medal on idolize Road.


She may not know that the brand is cutting the leeks of fans, but she can’t help it.


Jixiang began to powder the Korean men’s team at the age of 13. At first, she only used pocket money to buy some pirated items such as celebrity headshots, half-length posters, music discs, etc., but under the pressure of her parents who regarded idolize as fierce as a tiger, she could only gradually press this throb. By the time he became financially independent in his work, Auspicious picked up idolize who had given up halfway.


"I actually reflect on myself and reflect on myself. I interpret this as compensation for my mediocre girlhood."


Jixiang’s first pursuit after growing up was a men’s team that debuted for more than 20 years. Under the background that Korean groups generally disbanded or went solo in 5-10 years, integrity is already a rare and valuable attribute.


During the more than a year of chasing the Korean delegation, Jixiang gradually developed the habit of gold-throwing. "Han Yu is really good at circling money. Now the whole set of money-circling in entertainment is copied back. Everything depends on sales, that is, data. The earliest company in China should be the rise of TF Boys."


After the influence of Han Ling and the epidemic, auspiciousness turned to internal entertainment. This time, Aidou is still a group star, and the relationship within the team is not harmonious. Fans often tear each other for position, so the stage is so big, and those who stand in the middle and in front can naturally get more exposure and resources.


The group itself is a kind of list.


"For example, for the sale of a group album, the team will open a special link for each love bean. On the first day, if the link of Love Bean A sells 400,000, the fans of B will definitely not let their love beans score below this number the next day, so it will get more and more rolled up."


According to the Research Report on Internet Use of Minors in China in 2020, the proportion of underage netizens participating in fan support in China has reached 8%, and nearly 15% of "post-00" fans spend more than 5,000 yuan for idolize every month.


In the eyes of rice circle girls, krypton is the standard of idolize."It’s not idolize without spending money, is it?"In their view, if they don’t spend money, they are at most "friendly passers-by", not "fans".


In addition to the comparison of sales within the team, the brand is also good at the drama of carrot hanging donkey. They will set several goals. Every time they reach a goal, they will unlock a benefit, which may be the surrounding of Aidou, the purchase of an app to promote Aidou, or the lottery for the offline meeting of Aidou.


Among all the benefits, Jixiang likes all kinds of apps or big screens in shopping malls to love beans. "I like the way he shines in the crowd, even though I know it’s only in my eyes."


In addition, the Douban panel will count the sales of celebrity endorsements, albums, etc. "There are a lot of professional powders mixed with rhythm, and they will diss your love beans in public, saying that you are so rubbish, can you bear it?"


Although krypton gold, but auspicious does not support the behavior of fund-raising by the support club, "After all, this kind of fund-raising lacks effective supervision.I’ve been in idolize for so long, and I’ve seen too many fans involved in fund-raising and running away. Unless the amount is extremely huge, the general police can’t get it back. Even if you don’t run away, there is a lot of room for operation, and there is no way for fans to verify whether the cost price of the aid items bought by the support club is different from the actual announcement. "


Not only can the security of funds not be guaranteed, but in the auspicious view, the flow of funds after the fund-raising for internal entertainment is also meaningless. Many times, the money raised is used to give gifts to the program group that Aidou participates in activities, and what gold, jade and massage chairs are not a problem.


"But it’s quite helpless to think about it. Other families send it, only you don’t send it. What if I give you love beans?"


Do data


Chaohua hits the list, and Weibo makes comments and praises.


At 8: 45 on Thursday morning, the sound of the alarm clock pulled Xiaomi out of his sleep. As a freshman, she doesn’t have many classes this semester. When there is no class on Thursday morning, she will sleep until noon.


The reason why it will be uncharacteristic is that at 9 o’clock, my love bean will send a new song. The host of Aidou’s super talk has already determined several sets of copywriting for fans to choose from. As soon as 9 o’clock arrives, fans will flock to various music apps to copy and paste the copywriting into the comment area. It’s not enough to comment, but also like the comments related to Aidou and comment below other comments.


Xiaomi’s love beans are considered as the third line in the entertainment circle, and Xiaomi calls them "small paste beans". The "small paste beans" on the powder made her feel very involved. "There is no shortage of me in the top stream, and the paste beans are only me."


"What do you do now depends on the data. Can there be a more intuitive expression of love beans popularity on the Internet than data? The gold master’s father also knows that the data is mixed with water, but he doesn’t even have the heart to work hard for love beans. Who will believe that fans can make gold for love beans? "


Xiaomi’s love beans have an official control group. Generally, it is not easy for such an official group to get in. Xiaomi revealed to Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" that the initial group review was to prevent family rape, and later it became more and more "rolled up".Even if you are a simple "data worker", you have to pass many standards if you want to join the group..


Although the requirements of the official groups of stars are not exactly the same, they are also quite different, including the requirements for the number of days to sign in for overseas calls, the number of Weibo related to the stars published on the Weibo homepage, and some even require the amount of krypton. Even if these are all passed, they may eventually fall on the issue of the audit of joining the group.


"When I first applied to join the group, there was a question that I loved the airport private service of a certain day, which directly puzzled me. I heard that other people were asked which program I said a word about loving beans. This is not the details of the famous scene, even if we are true love fans, it is difficult to notice."


When there is a monitoring task, the management will broadcast the link in turn in the group. Whenever this happens, Xiaomi will click on the link and praise the comments related to love beans in the front row, so that others will love beans at first sight when they click on Weibo, which naturally plays a propaganda role.


"Like is also exquisite, first of all, we must pay attention to this blogger in Weibo, and then give priority to comments with pictures. This is not finished. Praise is also divided into external praise and internal praise. Praise is external praise, praise is internal praise, and praise is external praise. "



Xiaomi has a total of 17 Weibo’s, except for a large one for his own use, all the others are bought small ones, some are expensive and some are cheap, depending on the available functions of Weibo.


When there is a review task, Xiaomi will turn off the Wi-Fi usage traffic, turn on the flight mode for 15 seconds after the large number is praised, and then turn off the flight mode. After that, cut the small number to praise, and go through this process when each number is praised, mainly to switch the ip address and prevent Weibo from blowing up the number.


After proficiency, it takes only five or six minutes for Xiaomi to operate 17 accounts.


Today, the order of rice circles is becoming clearer and clearer, and the objects of control and evaluation also have a general scope. Xiaomi introduced the yogurt products endorsed by Aidou. First of all, it was the brand spokesperson and the program group that participated in the performance. "Let the financial owner’s father see that I love beans, and there are thousands of me standing behind him in Qian Qian, which directly proves the carrying capacity and popularity of Aidou."


Then there is everything related to the entertainment circle, such as various fashion magazines, video apps, music apps and so on.



As a qualified data worker, Xiaomi not only struggles in Weibo, but also platforms such as Douban, bilibili, Post Bar and Zhihu are her positions. Purifying all platforms is one of Xiaomi’s daily tasks. Generally, it is to post keywords about love beans, and cover negative news with positive news, so that the square presented after searching for the love beans becomes "clean".


In addition, it is not easy to master so many accounts. Once the operation is improper, it will make the trumpet useless, so Xiaomi has to keep the number.


Weibo keeps a number. Every day, he should insist on publishing blog posts of more than 15 words with photos of Jiugongge, pay attention to and actively interact with positive energy official blogs such as the Communist Youth League and People’s Daily, and do public welfare tasks on the Weibo.


In order to make Aidou’s super-talk ranking high, some trumpets who can make super-talk have to sign in and post comments every day to earn points, and then save them to a certain extent to increase their influence and improve their super-talk ranking. Some time ago, Weibo announced the off-line over-the-line integral system, but Xiaomi didn’t give up the heart of making data, and began to actively explore how to help himself love beans under the new system.


In the rounds of data, Xiaomi’s time slipped away. "College students’ time is worthless."


move


Idol moved from the new star list to the mainland list.


Moving is a master of krypton and doing data.


"It’s like a war, and I’m a hero." Recalling the days when I worked hard for Aidou last summer, Rodin, who has worked for five years, was surprised that he still had a gesture called "high morale".


After graduation, he entered the big factory. Rodin, the "screw", is considered to be the most up-to-standard "Buddhist" youth in the department. He works hard and does not fight for it. Even the supervisor who has been airborne for more than two months can’t recognize Rodin’s face.


However, a frenzied summer idolize completely awakened Rodin’s small universe.


In Rodin’s words, for the first time in her life, she deeply realized the real existence of the word "forgetting to eat and sleep".


"I don’t eat, I don’t drink, I don’t sleep, I’m not hungry, I’m not sleepy, and I haven’t done so well in the college entrance examination." Rodin told Phoenix.com’s Eye of the Storm about the days when she "lived" for loving beans, and all this came from the "moving" trend of loving beans that debuted through talent shows.


What is "moving"?


In short, it is a huge fan movement to give stars a "long face"-Let Aidou live in a big house.


Rodin told Phoenix.com "Eye of the Storm" that Fanhuan pays special attention to the "Weibo Star Power List", and this list is often subdivided into mainland list, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan list, Asia-Pacific list, Europe-America list and new star list according to the comprehensive value of stars.


For the new idols who debut in the draft, they will enter the "new star list" at first, "but they can’t always be freshmen and lose face," Rodin said. "So as fans, we should’ move’ Aidou in time and smoothly to help them settle in other lists."


In order to prove the idol’s popularity, fans’ support clubs often choose an optimal time to announce "moving" according to the competitive situation of Aidou and their own conditions, and then start to invest wildly.



"This is a battle that can only succeed but not fail." In the eyes of fans like Rodin, the success of Aidou’s move is the obligation of fans. If it fails, it will discredit Aidou and even affect its star path.


Back in August, 2020, while the love beans were sweating on the stage, there was a strange phenomenon-crazy Weibo and crazy comments.


According to incomplete statistics, throughout August, the number of blogs and thousands of comments made by Aidou reached an all-time high. Even, in order to "sprint" at the end of the month, a certain Aidou left 2,574 comments in his Weibo in one day.


Love beans have changed their low-key and mystery in the past, and they have taken the initiative to put great energy into bringing fans closer, which is very abnormal.


According to Rodin’s memory, it has long been a recognized rule for fans to "move" for idols, but this is the first time that idols have personally cooperated.



And the reason, Rodin explained to Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" that "showstopper" appeared.


"In August, there were only three Aidou competing for moving seats, but suddenly the fourth one appeared, so the situation became fierce in an instant."


If the enemy is imminent, "Rodins" dare not be vigilant. "No way, the manpower and financial resources in the early stage are all there, and giving up all the previous efforts means that all the fans’ investment has hit Shui Piao".


There is no turning arrow before opening the bow. Rodin began a month of "sleepless nights":


"Wake up every day, touch the phone before you open your eyes, then open the familiar platform, start assembly line operation, sign in, like, comment, forward, etc. After one account completes this whole process in one go, switch to another account to repeat. Basically, a fan will be assigned dozens of accounts to ensure that the final rating data of Weibo’s praise for love beans can reach one million. "


At the same time, due to the rules, the stars will take the initiative to publish original Weibo and comment on their own Weibo with positive energy topics, which will be actively counted in the score.


Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on fans, Aidou had to become a data worker and join the battle together, even sighing "being driven crazy" and shouting "so happy".



In addition to the data, the support club will organize several rounds of fund-raising. Fans will send money to the support club through Taoba or Owhat, and the support club will then use the money to buy flowers from Weibo for the stars, so as to increase the admiration value of Aidou and improve its points in the new star list. Since each account can send up to 500 flowers every day, how to make more accounts send flowers has become a problem.


Generally speaking, whenever "moving", the support club subsidizes ordinary users with the money raised, such as Weibo members whose original price is more than 100 yuan, and the support club subsidizes 80 yuan. Ordinary users only need to pay 20 or 30 yuan to open the annual fee themselves. In exchange, users need to give flowers to the stars to which the support club belongs.


Are these rankings really a symbol of the strength of love beans?


Some netizens in Zhihu commented that some of them may really have gold content, and some may just be meaningless lists filled with water, but as long as there are rankings, there is the possibility of mobilizing fans to act. "Because everything that fans pursue is rooted in a spiritual victory".


The theory of "spiritual victory" was also recognized by Rodin.


"At that stage,’ moving’ can really show the popularity of the stars intuitively, giving people a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. But after the successful move? In the entire entertainment circle, my love bean is still a small paste bean, but every time I move, I feel that he is one step closer to the final victory. "


But the fans still enjoy it. In Rodin’s words, "Although it felt like a month was kidnapped by data, this is what a qualified fan should do. If you love him, you should give him the best. This is a belief."


In addition to Rodin, a fan who participated in a draft idol’s "moving" in the early stage of the rice circle’s "moving" trend once said in an interview with the media that moving was both expensive and costly. "At that time, the amount of flowers was large, which was not our main direction. We praised the interactive amount and built a Weibo group to brush the reading amount through a large number of trumpets. The whole moving down cost 410,000 yuan, and it cost 320,000 yuan to buy a trumpet."


In order to make fans aware of the importance of "moving", Xiao Huang said that some people gave a live explanation at the support club, mainly about moving from the new star list to the mainland list, so that idols can be seen by more people (gold owners) and have the opportunity to get more resources, cultivate the atmosphere and habits of making data in the pink circle, and how to make data.


Using star information to make money


Vivi is a junior station sister (who runs and manages idol’s online fan station), so she says this because she hasn’t made ends meet.


I think of being a station sister, which comes from her experience of retouching a station for a Korean women’s group.


Station is an important node in the spread of star image, which can dig and amplify the charm of stars in all directions and spread it to fans. Some "God Stations" in circles can tell stories with pictures, making the beautiful image of stars more vivid.


Generally, star stations are established and operated before the star debuts, that is, betting on whether the star has a chance to become popular. At that time, there were people who took photos of fans in front of the station. After the photos were taken in front, they were sent back to the station. Vivi and others were responsible for the P-picture, and then the station released it on the Weibo to absorb powder.


After hearing that the cp station of a certain two stars made a profit of one million yuan, Vivi wanted to try to be her own station sister. Because she just started, she often went to the front to take photos in person. The cost included paying for professional photographic equipment, air tickets, front-row tickets for hotels and various activities, and a foreign activity would cost thousands.


In the process of being a station elder sister, she gradually discovered many gray areas in idolize.


"There is often a thin line between standing sister, taking photos instead of taking photos of stars, and illegitimate students (fans who like to follow and peek and affect the private lives of stars)."


Conscious station sisters and substitute photographers will decide their own itinerary according to the star’s public itinerary, but some people will buy the star’s private itinerary from the scalper for profit. Just pack a star’s ID number and you can find the star’s itinerary through the ID number.


Vivi pulled Phoenix’s Eye of the Storm into some cattle herds, which were full of code words such as "sfz, sjh, hz, hj".



These seemingly ordinary abbreviations represent the pinyin initials of ID card, mobile phone number, passport and household registration respectively. On the network platform, these abbreviations are the "common language" for reselling the "industry" of celebrity privacy and personal information.


The scalper clearly marks the star’s private information, providing fans with illegal business such as entering the airport restricted area idolize., forming a whole interest chain.


Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" added one of the scalpers who sold the ID number. After asking if there was an ID card package, the other party said "yes" and the price was "depending on it".



So, after Phoenix’s Eye of the Storm paid 5 yuan money, the scalper sent a document, including the ID card information of more than 500 stars and the passport information of more than 100 stars, which were listed in alphabetical order.



Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" found that all the information was true by checking the location and birthday of the star’s permanent residence.


As the most important private information, the star’s ID card information is not only transparent, but also extremely cheap, and the person who buys the information can resell the information without restriction.


Around the ID card, the scalper can also provide the service of finding the mobile phone number of the star. The code word for the scalper is "can pull", which means that after the customer provides the ID card, the scalper will look for someone to check, and the general price is 50-200 yuan.



What is even more unexpected is that for the convenience of idolize, a fan, scalpers can even provide the service of buying and selling cases. Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" learned that the price of this service only needs double digits, and it is nationwide.



In addition, Vivi also revealed to Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" that it is not a secret that the organizers of the performance actively cooperated with scalpers.


Vivi, for example, a few years ago, the venue of a men’s team concert was small, even in the position with the worst view, idols could be clearly seen. At that time, the organizers only took out about 20% of the tickets and sold them on the regular platform, and the rest were handed over to scalpers. The two sides raised the ticket prices according to the time node.


Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" learned that when an artist contracts a performance to the organizer, in order to maintain the artist’s image, the price will be stipulated in the contract, and the highest infield price of the first-line star is only about 2,000 yuan. According to the face price, the organizer will not have too high profit after excluding the cost. In order to maximize the interests, it has become an open secret to choose to cooperate with the scalper.


At the same time, this kind of behavior is equivalent to transferring some risks to the scalper. If the artist has a major negative exposure and other special circumstances on the eve of the performance, the organizer will not fail.


"If you don’t spend money, it’s not real powder."


"There is light on my body" is not necessary for idolize, an adult. In the children’s world, idolize is not a pastime for them, but a "nourishment".


Beibei, who is about to be promoted to Grade Three at the beginning of school, is not yet 15 years old this year, but in the case of idolize, she is already a "senior".


Since the third grade of primary school, she has been infatuated with an idol group in the mainland.


In Beibei’s self-report, we can clearly feel the great spiritual strength brought by idols in the world of underage boys and girls.


"I liked them at the beginning because of their cleanliness, sunshine and sense of youth, as if I could see the end at a glance. After learning more, I have more envy. I envy the feeling of several people working together and struggling. The light brought by idols makes me want to get closer to them and make my own efforts better. "


This sentiment can also be witnessed in Xiao Xia, who is about to enter the university.


"From primary school to now, in seven years, I like their sense of youth and the realism of their efforts for their dreams. They are a group of people who are illuminated by light and will also be a group of people who accompany my whole youth."


Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" learned that for many underage fans, "progress with idols" is their creed in idolize. It is for this reason that they tend to be obsessed with the idols of the "cultivation department". "Seeing a big child from an early age is just like raising a child, witnessing their growth from youth to maturity and witnessing their own growth."


"Happiness" and "strength" are the most common descriptions of idolize by these adolescent boys and girls. They simply "like someone", which is the healthiest idolize, but in the eyes of some people who are good at using it, it has become a "fatal weakness".


Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" found in the interview that,There are indeed a large number of phenomena in the "rice circle" that induce minors to help raise funds, spend a lot of money, and vote for the list.





According to an earlier survey of teenager idolize by China Youth Daily,73.4% of the teenagers surveyed pointed out that fan groups would kidnap morally and force fans to "get gold".; 52.8% of the teenagers surveyed spend more on idolize than 100 yuan every month, but only 20.7% of the teenagers surveyed said that their parents knew and supported it.


Sasha, 15, is one of them.


"Last year, when I was chasing a talent show, I raised money for Aidou crazily." When talking about the situation at that time, Sasha said, "No way, I have to spend this money."


Sasha revealed to Phoenix. com "Eye of the Storm" that at that time, her own love beans were in the white-hot stage of debut competition, and there would be a group of fans posting intensively in Chaohua, calling on everyone to raise funds to hit the list.


"It seems that you are not a real powder if you don’t spend money."


In Sasha’s view, the decisive factor for Aidou’s debut lies in money and brokerage companies. "The more money, the easier it is to debut; Brokerage companies are also very important, but in the end, the most important thing is money. " According to Sasha, among the idol groups she paid attention to, among the last few people who debuted, "singing and dancing can’t do anything, but fans are willing to spend money."


The money that Sasha spent on idols depends on her own province, "I dare not tell my parents." "There are classmates around me who only eat one meal a day in order to save money, but I think it is a bit too much."


According to Sasha, some fans in Chaohua are good at "moral kidnapping". "They are so fanatical that they do a lot of irrational behaviors, such as scolding other fans in the group because they didn’t donate money; I will also scold fans of other idols because there is competition. And they are all very ugly words. "


Sasha admits that in the current atmosphere, she is really "rhythmic". But looking back now, she thinks that is not desirable. "If the idol himself knows, I think people with a little conscience will feel ashamed."


According to the "Research Report on Internet Use of Minors in China in 2020", the proportion of underage netizens participating in fan support in China reached 8%. Another data shows that nearly 15% of "post-00" fans spend more than 5,000 yuan for idolize every month.


Behind these figures is the promotion of the commercial value of artists, the rich money of investors, star-making companies and platforms, and the cruel truth that young fans are regarded as "chess pieces" when the three views are still sound.


What is even more frightening is that a new type of fraud targeting underage groupies is also quietly staged.


According to "Daily 315", the economic voice of China Central Radio and Television General Station, a 12-year-old child, while browsing Weibo with his parents’ mobile phones, saw that there were some favorite star fans who were collecting autographed photos. After the child added the owner’s WeChat, the other party asked him to pay 100 yuan.


A trap of telecom fraud was launched to children.


The child’s mother said, "The other party told him to charge 100 yuan, but the child recharged it without much thought. He felt that the child was very easy to talk to and added WeChat. What E-card to buy for children? I bought 12 for the first time and one for 800 yuan, and spent 9600 yuan. He said that he would return it to the children. "


Subsequently, the child bought 24 electronic payment cards of an e-commerce platform, spending a total of 19,200 yuan. Not only that, the liar also instigated the child to take his mother’s mobile phone to a place where there was no one, and follow his requirements step by step.


Later, the parents found that the child’s face was wrong, and he was scared to hide in the corner and huddled up, so he immediately took the child to the local police station to report the case.


This is the "fish killing plate"-a scam to get money under the banner of stars. And the "magic grasp" extended to, mostly underage children in idolize who haven’t discerned yet.


But fortunately, Qing Su has arrived.


On July 13th, the Internet Information Office issued a notice, saying that it would strictly control the harmful information and behaviors that induce minors to have no bottom line, such as idolize, worshipping money and showing off wealth, which have value-oriented problems.



Postscript:


Rice circles are like a huge net.


In this network, "traffic is king, data speaks" becomes more and more logical and self-consistent.


Love beans have become puppets of traffic, fans have become slaves of data, and capital is the ultimate destination of traffic and data.


However, after the negative events of Wu Yifan and others were exposed, a stone stirred up a thousand waves. Not only was the dark corner of the entertainment circle uncovered, but the rice circle culture symbiotic with the stars was also pushed into the storm of public opinion.


All kinds of wonders make the voice of "society has been suffering for a long time" endless.


Just recently, in response to the online news that Zhao Liying and YiBo will cooperate in the new drama, some fans in Zhao Liying made comments to boycott it, saying that they did not want the two to play a drama together for the second time.


It is normal for stars to cooperate as partners, but some fans use this as a reason to set off a "rice circle" chaos on the Internet.


A large number of Zhao Liying fans’ accounts have been replaced with avatars with the words "All fans refuse" and "Reject any form of two-ride" to show their protest.


Subsequently, the official account of Zhao Liying Global Fans Support Association, which has 2.59 million fans, sent a long article with four opinions, saying that "rejecting two matches is the core appeal of all fans and resolutely resists all forms of cooperation". "Regarding the online drama, if the rumors are true, we will resolutely cut it and refuse all work related to this drama, including but not limited to: Amway, anti-gang, control and evaluation". At the same time, some marketing numbers make use of the topic, create topics, and carry the content of the war for malicious speculation, which has a bad influence.


In response to this incident, Weibo Platform quickly handled it. By the evening of August 26th, the station had banned 2,448 illegal accounts, including 665 permanently banned accounts and 2,643 closed accounts. This is the first fan group that has been banned on a large scale because of "tearing each other" since the Central Network Information Office launched the special campaign of "Clearing the Chaos of Rice Circles" in June this year.


On August 27th, the Central Network Information Office just issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of the Chaos in the "Rice Circles".


Among them, ten measures are put forward, such as canceling the list of star artists, optimizing and adjusting the ranking rules, strictly controlling star brokerage companies, not inducing fans to consume, and consolidating the platform responsibility.


An unprecedented change is taking place.


For a long time, the "rice circle culture" and the value that flow is king in the entertainment circle have led to the "bad money driving out good money" in the entertainment circle. The capital that has mastered the flow has long occupied an important voice in the entertainment circle, and the "small fresh meat" artists and minors have been used as profit-making tools. Can this chaotic governance force the entertainment circle to return to its true nature and usher in the dawn of good works?


More than a hundred years ago, Chen Duxiu wrote "On Idol Destruction". Now, regardless of the position and right or wrong of this article, it is quite interesting to look at the words that describe idols.


"If you don’t do it, your eyes will be dull, you won’t eat three meals, your limbs will be weak, your facial features will be incomplete, your six relatives will be helpless, you will know nothing, you will be imposing on all sides, you will be unable to sit still for nine (with the same sound), and ten (with the same sound) will be useless."

The frequency of mobile payment will increase again! Safety risk behavior needs attention.

       CCTV News:Statistics show that the number of mobile payment users in China has exceeded 800 million, and the scale of mobile payment market ranks first in the world for three consecutive years. So, who liked mobile payment best in the past year? How many times will I use mobile payment every day? A survey report released by China UnionPay today (February 1st) reveals how popular mobile payment is.

       Through the investigation and analysis of more than 170,000 people in China, China UnionPay released the "2020 Mobile Payment Security Survey Report" today. According to the report, 98% of the respondents chose mobile payment as the most commonly used payment method.

       According to the survey, in 2020, the average person will use mobile payment three times a day, and the proportion of people who use it five times a day will also reach a quarter of the total number of people surveyed. Who likes mobile payment best? The answer is men born after 1995, who use mobile payment four times a day on average. In addition, QR code payment has become the most commonly used mobile payment method, with users accounting for more than 85%. So, where do people like to use mobile payment most?

       Wang Yu, senior director of the risk control department of China UnionPay, said that online, credit card repayment, online shopping, virtual goods, take-out and other related scenarios are frequently used. Offline, it is mainly used by small and micro businesses. People over the age of 50 use mobile payment for offline shopping, mainly in vegetable markets, supermarkets and some physical retail stores.

       Bad habits affect the security of mobile payment.

       Mobile payment is becoming more and more popular in our life, so is it safe? According to the survey of China UnionPay, 98% of the respondents think that mobile payment is safe. However, further investigation also shows that people still have many unsafe habits when using mobile payment.

       The survey shows that when using mobile payment, about 70% of users have had bad habits that affect payment security, with an average of 2.4 bad habits per user. Wang Yu said that there are three aspects that are relatively advanced. First, all payments use the same payment password. Second, pay in the public wi-fi environment during use. Third, when changing the mobile phone, the bank card binding in the APP was not released in time.

       Wang Yu said that these three bad habits were repeatedly reminded by financial institutions and the media, but many people still paid insufficient attention to them. In addition, it is also a common bad habit to try to scan the code when you see the QR code of the promotion, and choose to remember the login password in the website or APP. These bad habits are also the important factors that lead to the risk of mobile payment. The survey also shows that in 2020, 8% of the respondents suffered from online fraud and incurred actual economic losses, among which, the post-00 age group suffered the highest proportion of losses, reaching 19%.

       Participating in online gambling suffered the most.

       The survey report of China UnionPay also shows that the overall loss of people who suffered online fraud in 2020 decreased by 4 percentage points compared with 2019. However, new forms of fraud such as online gambling and running points need to be more vigilant. Among the respondents, nearly 60% of those who have participated in online gambling have suffered economic losses.

       The survey shows that criminals’ precise fraud against different groups of people needs the public’s key prevention. In July last year, Ms. Gao from Wujiang, Jiangsu and others downloaded a mobile phone APP called "Animal World". By purchasing virtual animals in the software, players can download them in 1— Within 15 days, there will be 5% & mdash; 30% of the proceeds.

       It was easy to make money, so Ms. Gao and others began to increase their chips. The animals snapped up changed from a white swan with a yield of 5% of 1,000 yuan to a loong with a yield of 30% that needed tens of thousands to buy. At the end of last year, the platform system suddenly collapsed and animals could not be sold. At this time, Ms. Gao and others realized that they had been cheated.

       Not long ago, Guangdong and Shanghai police jointly cracked a case of fraud in the name of online gambling. Criminals set up a platform called "Happy Valley" on the Internet to lure others to gamble. Players can make money at first, but after a while, they will find that they can’t get the money out. After the police dug up this criminal gang, they found that their gambling platform was as high as 12 million yuan in just one month. In the investigation report, China UnionPay pointed out that many online gambling are essentially telecom fraud, and the so-called "steady profit without loss" and "insider" are all pre-edited words.

       Expert advice: develop safety habits and keep personal information.

       Sweep and touch to complete the payment, and the convenience of mobile payment makes it more and more popular. So, what risks do we need to guard against during use? China unionpay experts put forward preventive suggestions.

       The first is to manage personal accounts and QR codes, cancel sleep bank cards and accounts in time, and do not lend or rent personal bank cards and payment codes. If the lending account is used for illegal fund transfer, the provider will be prosecuted and cannot use mobile payment for 5 years; Secondly, protect personal sensitive information, and do not casually fill in payment information such as card number, expiration date and password on the website; Prevent criminals from using gimmicks such as "high-interest financial management" and "virtual currency" to lure "interests" to commit fraud; Third, resolutely resist illegal platform activities such as online gambling and "running points", and don’t believe in so-called quick ways to make money such as "brushing the bill" and "part-time job".

       In addition, when paying, you should also pay attention to not connecting to public wi-fi for payment, especially when replacing the mobile phone, you must pay attention to unbinding the APP from the bank card, uninstalling the APP, and restoring the mobile phone to the factory settings.

       Wang Yu also reminded that once the mobile phone is lost, it is necessary to report the loss of the mobile phone card to the operator at the first time, report the loss of the bank card to the bank, and freeze account transactions. If there are payment software such as WeChat and Alipay in your mobile phone, you should also report the loss or freeze your account at the first time to avoid possible losses.

The Chinese ambassador to Japan lodged a solemn protest with the Japanese government over the discharge of nuclear polluted water from Fukushima.

  Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, August 24th-China’s ambassador to Japan, Wu Jianghao, lodged a solemn protest with Japan’s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Masayoshi Okano on the 24th, regarding Japan’s launching of the Fukushima nuclear polluted water discharge into the sea.

  Wu Jianghao said that today, Japan ignored strong doubts and opposition at home and abroad, shifted the risk of nuclear pollution to neighboring countries including China and the international community, put its own self-interest above the long-term well-being of people in the region and around the world, put the global marine environment and the health of all mankind as a dangerous bet, and insisted on officially launching the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge. China resolutely opposed this and once again lodged a solemn protest with Japan, demanding that Japan immediately stop this extremely selfish and irresponsible behavior.

  Wu Jianghao pointed out that the Fukushima nuclear accident is one of the most serious nuclear accidents in the world so far, causing a large amount of radioactive materials to leak. There is no precedent in the world to deal with it by discharging the sea, and there is still a lack of technology that has been tested by science and practice and proved to be "safe and harmless". Without fully demonstrating the long-term safety and reliability of the existing sea-discharging technology, gaining extensive understanding from all stakeholders, and establishing a complete international supervision and compensation mechanism, Japan insists on forcibly starting sea-discharging, which contains huge risks and unpredictable hazards.

  Wu Jianghao emphasized that the ocean is the blue home on which all mankind depends, and all countries have the obligation of international law to protect and preserve the marine environment. Japan has no right to decide to dump nuclear polluted water into the sea without authorization, and must bear full responsibility for the consequences caused by it. China seriously urges Japan to immediately stop discharging the sea, communicate honestly with its neighboring countries in a responsible manner, accept strict supervision by the international community, and effectively dispose of nuclear polluted water in a scientific, safe and transparent way. If Japan insists on doing it, it will bear long-term moral and legal responsibilities.

  Wu Jianghao pointed out that’s exclusion from the sea has aroused strong concerns of Japanese consumers about food safety. China government has always adhered to the people first, and must resolutely respond to people’s concerns and safeguard the marine environment, food safety and public health. It is natural and necessary for the China government to announce a total suspension of the import of Japanese aquatic products. The responsibility for this situation lies entirely with the Japanese side, which should reflect on itself.

Major e-commerce companies have become a platform for "exporting to domestic sales"

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 17 (Reporter Wang Libin) As the global epidemic continues, foreign trade enterprises have joined hands with e-commerce platforms to accelerate their offline expansion by "exporting to domestic sales".

On the 17th, the reporter learned from COFCO, China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Light Industrial Crafts, China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Food, Livestock and Animals, etc. that as the global epidemic continues, foreign trade orders stagnate, and a large number of commodities pile up, foreign trade enterprises have joined hands with e-commerce platforms such as COFCO Wobuynet, Pinduoduo, JD.COM, Suning and Ali to reduce the pressure of capital backflow and seek self-help development through "export to domestic sales". COFCO Womaiwang joined hands with the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Food, Livestock and Animals to launch the public welfare activity "Fight the epidemic, you and I will do it" to help domestic food and agricultural products import and export enterprises solve the problem of export obstruction. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Light Industrial Crafts and the China Grain Industry Association also cooperated with COFCO Womai. com to carry out the public welfare activities of "fighting epidemic and helping grain" and create a "public welfare area for fighting epidemic and helping grain" to provide online sales, display and publicity services for member enterprises.

It is reported that JD.COM has launched a special policy to support businesses that export to domestic market, launched the "Factory Price Sold Out Foreign Trade Goods" meeting place and the "New National Product Plan" to support small and medium-sized enterprises and protect domestic foreign trade brands. Suning launched the "Helping Export Enterprises to Transform" zone to support foreign trade merchants and provide subsidies and interest-free assistance for large commodities. Alibaba launched the digital foreign trade zone in 1688, which launched a new round of support for foreign trade enterprises to expand the domestic market. It plans to help 500,000 foreign trade enterprises conduct domestic online wholesale transactions during the year. Pinduoduo cooperates with Shanghai, Dongguan, Yantai and other places to build a domestic sales platform for export-oriented enterprises. Among them, the project of "Going to Sea for Excellent Products and Buying Shanghai" covers more than 300 foreign trade enterprises in Shanghai and promotes more than 1,000 boutique foreign trade enterprises to settle in.

According to reports, the current "export to domestic sales" is showing a new situation of online and offline cooperation between government and enterprises. On July 17th, 2020 Zhejiang Foreign Trade Excellent Products Entering the Shopping Mall and Foreign Trade Enterprises Entering the Business Circle in Xiacheng District was launched, with the participation of online and offline well-known brand enterprises. The exhibits covered clothing, electronic products, luggage and shoes, furniture, daily necessities, light industry, home textiles, industry and trade, food and so on. The industry believes that, driven by the e-commerce platform, the combination of online and offline, government enterprises, strengthening the integration of domestic and foreign trade enterprises and promoting the international and domestic double cycle will expand the strategic maneuver space of China’s export-oriented economy.

Blizzard is about to return to the system of misinformation: Weibo will automatically give a month VVIP.

Recently, the player community discovered that several games owned by Blizzard had started the VVIP membership service, and the view that Blizzard was about to return to China was quickly fermented.

Wandering stars

However, at present, the official of Weibo has given a reply. In 2024, Weibo launched a new support policy for the accounts that "reach a certain amount of iron powder" in the non-enterprise blue V, and the accounts that meet the requirements will be automatically given a one-month VVIP in the near future. Therefore, the VVIP of multiple Blizzard game accounts is actually given by the system automatically, rather than being opened for operation. Netease and Blizzard China officials have not yet made a public response to matters related to the return of the national service.

Behind the skyrocketing retail price of commonly used drugs: the supply chain of APIs is monopolized

  ● From 1996 to 2015, the pharmaceutical industry in China experienced more than 30 overall forced price reductions in the past 20 years. Since then, the state has made efforts from all aspects of drug production, circulation and sales, and frequently introduced relevant policies to reduce drug prices.

  China’s pharmaceutical market is divided into policy market and non-policy market. The former mainly includes public hospitals, and drugs are purchased by the government through unified bidding, which is greatly affected by the policy of reducing drug prices; The latter mainly includes pharmacies, clinics and private hospitals. Drug circulation is market-oriented and enterprises can set their own prices.

  ● The approval documents for the production of some APIs were monopolized by some enterprises, which led to the skyrocketing price of APIs. To solve this problem fundamentally, we should not only intensify the crackdown on the monopoly of APIs, but also improve the related approval system of APIs.

  □ Our reporter Wen Lijuan

  The retail price of a box of papaverine needles soared from 45 yuan to 399 yuan, a box of vitamin K1 needles rose from 99 yuan to 259 yuan, a box of tramadol tablets rose from 13.15 yuan to 30.3 yuan, a box of adrenaline needles rose from 29.1 yuan to 60.15 yuan, and a bottle of shark liver alcohol tablets rose from 33.75 yuan to 68.25 yuan … …

  Recently, the "Legal Daily" reporter learned exclusively from a hospital in Hunan Province that many commonly used drugs for rescue, hemostasis and leukocytosis have increased their prices several times or even dozens of times since last year. At the same time, the prices of many commonly used drugs in the retail of pharmacies in the market have also risen sharply.

  In recent years, China has successively introduced a series of measures such as canceling drug addition and "4+7" quantity procurement to promote drug price reduction. However, in the context of these measures, why do some commonly used drugs still have price increases or even supply cuts? What other aspects should we do to really let the people eat cheap drugs and rest assured drugs? The reporter conducted an investigation into this.

  The purchase price of drugs has risen sharply.

  The market price is climbing all the way.

  Because of the rising drug price, Wang Yu (pseudonym), a native of Hunan Province, recently frequently asked people to buy cefixime from other places — — Her 4-year-old child often has respiratory infections, and this medicine has become a regular medicine at home. In the pharmacies near her home, the retail price of cefixime is around 15 yuan, while other city and county pharmacies only need three or four yuan.

  Years of experience in buying medicines for children, and working in a hospital, Wang Yu found that the price increase of some commonly used drugs in clinic in recent two years was outrageous.

  She gave the reporter a list of price increases: protamine, dexmedetomidine hydrochloride, cedilanid, allopurinol, dobutamine injection, calcium gluconate injection, rifampicin and some gout drugs. From last year to this year, there have been different price increases.

  Take a box of dobutamine needles as an example. From August 2018 to December 2018, the retail price was 97.55 yuan; In January 2019, the retail price rose to 266 yuan; In April 2019, it rose to 460 yuan again.

  Behind the rising retail price of drugs, the purchase price is also rising: since last year, the purchase price of a box of vitamin K1 needles has risen from 99 yuan to 259 yuan, a box of tramadol tablets has risen from 13.15 yuan to 25 yuan, a box of adrenaline needles has risen from 24 yuan to 51 yuan, and a bottle of shark liver alcohol tablets has risen from 28 yuan to 58 yuan.

  In addition to the price increase of some commonly used drugs in clinic, there are also many categories of commonly used drugs in pharmacy retail.

  "Baking soda tablets for treating hyperacidity, the price of 100 tablets in the first two years was only one or two dollars. These days, I was already in 11 yuan when I bought it again. " In this regard, Zhang Li (pseudonym), a practitioner in the pharmaceutical industry, feels incredible.

  The reporter inquired about the drug price of 315.com and found that at present, the lowest price of baking soda tablets in 20 pharmacies in China is a bottle from 9.9 yuan, and the highest price is 17.8 yuan.

  Li Hao (pseudonym), who is engaged in drug sales in Beijing, also has many feelings. Because the child’s body resistance is weak, he often goes to the drugstore to buy Icoxin (vitamin AD drops). However, in the second half of last year, this medicine was suddenly out of stock, and after the supply resumed in April this year, it actually rose by nearly 20 yuan. "In the past, a box cost more than 20 yuan, but now it costs 39.8 yuan." Li Hao said.

  In addition to the price increase, what makes Li Hao feel helpless is that "it is often not available".

  The reporter’s investigation found that, in fact, the drug out-of-stock mode mentioned by Li Hao is actually a common tactic used by many pharmaceutical companies to raise prices.

  "If they want to raise prices, they usually announce that they are out of stock first, and then resume supply at intervals, so that they can raise prices." In the interview, the person in charge of a pharmacy named Chen in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province told the reporter, "If they raise prices, I can only follow them, because everyone is rising."

  According to the person in charge, since 2014, some drugs have experienced abnormal price increases. In the past year, more and more commonly used drugs have increased their prices, and they have become more and more crazy. "This year, nitroglycerin is the most prominent. The prices of nitroglycerin tablets (0.5 mg *100 tablets) and injections (10 ml) have risen from 4 yuan and 20 yuan last year to 55 yuan and 110 yuan respectively."

  From May 24 to 26, the reporter visited nearly 20 pharmacies in Chaoyang District and Haidian District, and found that vitamin B complex rose from 1.5 yuan to 10 yuan, with an increase of 600%. Yan Teling rose from 3 yuan in 2015 to 9 yuan at the end of 2018, with an increase of 200%; Pain-relieving tablets rose from 2.5 yuan to 9 yuan, with an increase of 260%. Compared with the previous two years, the prices of chlorpheniramine, roxithromycin, Jiangya No.0, norfloxacin capsules, nasal drops, etc. all increased in different degrees.

  In addition, Angong Niuhuang Pills, Chuanbei Pipa Syrup, Yunnan Baiyao Aerosol, Sangju Yinqiao Powder, Compound Berberine Tablets, Qingfei Huatan Pills, 999 Ganmaoling, Sanjiu Weitai, Huanglian Shangqing Tablets and other Chinese patent medicines also have price increases. However, the prices of some Chinese patent medicines have declined slightly in the near future.

  Price reduction policies are frequently introduced.

  Some drug prices have risen instead of falling.

  What puzzles many patients is that on the one hand, the national policy of reducing drug prices is constantly introduced, on the other hand, the prices of many commonly used drugs are rising.

  The reporter found out that in 1996, the State Planning Commission (later renamed as the National Development and Reform Commission) promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of Drug Prices, and regained the pricing power of drugs. By 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Health Planning Commission, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other seven departments jointly issued the Opinions on Promoting Drug Price Reform, stipulating that the original drug prices set by the government should be cancelled except narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs of the first category. In the past 20 years, the pharmaceutical industry in China has experienced more than 30 times as a whole.

  Since then, the state has made efforts from all aspects of drug production, circulation and sales, and frequently introduced relevant policies to reduce drug prices. In 2018 alone, a number of policies were introduced: in April, drugs that passed the consistency evaluation of generic drugs were required to be included in the procurement catalogue in time; In August, it was required to increase doctors’ medical treatment fees and medical service fees and reduce drug prices; At the end of 2018, the "4+7" quantity procurement was implemented, and the average price of 25 drugs that successfully entered the tender was reduced by 52%, with the highest drop of 96%.

  Since various measures to reduce drug prices have been implemented one after another, why are some commonly used drugs still increasing in price or even cutting off supply?

  Shi Lichen, founder of Beijing Dingchen Management Consulting Co., Ltd., a medical consulting organization, explained to reporters that China’s pharmaceutical market is divided into policy market and non-policy market. The former mainly includes public hospitals, and drugs are purchased by the government through unified bidding, which is greatly affected by the policy of reducing drug prices; The latter mainly includes pharmacies, clinics and private hospitals. Drug circulation is market-oriented and enterprises can set their own prices.

  "The reasons for the price increase of some commonly used drugs need to be specifically analyzed from these two markets." Shi Lichen said: in the policy market, even if purchasing in quantity, there are still three factors affecting the process of reducing drug prices in the field of drug bidding. First, after the government bidding, it is difficult for some hospitals to guarantee the purchase quantity with pharmaceutical companies; Second, it is difficult to get the payment back in time, which affects the operation of pharmaceutical companies; Third, some local authorities are easy to "kick the ball", which makes it difficult for pharmaceutical companies to complain when they encounter the first two problems.

  In the non-policy market, Shi Lichen believes that most of the time, the policy of reducing drug prices is difficult to produce obvious price-oriented effect, and eventually the prices of some commonly used drugs in this market rise due to comprehensive factors. Among them, the price increase of upstream APIs is an important reason.

  Game between parties behind price increase

  Raw materials are artificially monopolized.

  The so-called raw material medicine is the effective component of medicine. After adding some auxiliary materials to the raw material medicine, it becomes the medicine bought by patients.

  In Shi Lichen’s view, if the increase of APIs exceeds five times, it may be caused by artificial monopoly. "Monopoly is mostly due to problems in the circulation of APIs."

  Shi Lichen’s judgment was verified by a person in charge of a pharmaceutical company in Anhui Province.

  The head of this pharmaceutical company has been deeply involved in the field of pharmaceutical circulation for many years, and he knows the ropes well. He also bought out drugs from large pharmaceutical companies on behalf of the company.

  He told reporters that many times, API merchants will collude with monopoly, hoard and sell to pharmaceutical factories at high prices. Even if API manufacturers are punished by the government for monopoly, they can’t fundamentally curb their monopoly behavior, because most of the raw materials are in the hands of a few raw material manufacturers. "The government’s crackdown has curbed their behavior of driving up drug prices, but it can’t control the number of their shipments. If a pharmaceutical factory needs 10 kilograms of raw materials, the raw material supplier deliberately supplies only 1 kilogram to it, resulting in a serious shortage of production in the pharmaceutical factory, and the finished drugs on the market will be scarce. "

  In another case, a third-party commercial company signed a sales agreement with an API company to buy out all the raw materials and then sell them to several preparation factories, and the API company could not participate in the pricing. This behavior is called "underwriting" or "controlling sales" in the industry. Once it is "controlled", other pharmaceutical factories can’t buy raw materials, or they can only buy them at high prices, resulting in drug supply interruption or rising costs.

  Wu Huifang, general manager of Beijing Dongfang Bite Technology Co., Ltd., once said in an interview with Caijing magazine that some API companies are willing to cooperate with underwriting companies in consideration of profits. For example, if the annual demand for a certain raw material medicine is 100 kilograms, the underwriting company will give an order of 80 kilograms to a raw material pharmaceutical factory, and all the raw materials of this factory will be sold to it, which can guarantee the profit, that is, the fixed sales and fixed production. Whether an API will be controlled or not depends on the output. Subject to the financial strength of the underwriting company, underwriting mainly occurs in small varieties of APIs. The raw materials that are underwritten are rare, with an annual output of hundreds of tons, generally below 50 tons or 60 tons, or even 10 tons or 20 tons, and few manufacturers can produce them normally.

  The monopoly of API production will seriously restrict the preparation market. According to the sampling survey results of the corresponding proportion of APIs to preparation manufacturers, one API enterprise corresponds to 169 preparation enterprises at most.

  According to Li Qing, deputy director of the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, among the 1,500 chemical APIs in China, only one enterprise can produce 50 APIs, only two enterprises can produce 44 APIs and only three APIs can produce 40 APIs.

  "Once the price of APIs rises or the supply is cut off, it will affect the production of downstream enterprises, resulting in a substantial increase in the production cost of drugs, which will be reflected in the price increase when it is transmitted to consumer terminals." Li Yong, an associate professor of the shortage drug research group of China Pharmaceutical University, told reporters.

  In addition to the artificial monopoly leading to the increase in the price of APIs, the tightening of environmental protection policies and the normalization of drug quality and management control supervision are also the reasons.

  The production of APIs belongs to manufacturing industry, and the upstream is chemical products, which will pollute water and air. The environmental protection control of such products is getting tighter. In order to meet the requirements of environmental protection, many pharmaceutical companies have invested in transformation, and some pharmaceutical companies are facing the situation of closure or merger.

  The reporter inquired about the annual report of drug supervision statistics released by National Medical Products Administration in 2018 and 2015, and found that as of the end of November 2018, there were 4,441 manufacturers of raw materials and preparations nationwide; As of the end of November 2015, this figure was 5065.

  The annual report explained that during the license renewal period of production enterprises, some enterprises did not pass GMP (good manufacturing practice) certification and temporarily did not have the conditions to renew their licenses. The direct consequence of the decrease in the number of pharmaceutical factories is that the fierce competition in the drug market has decreased, which has pushed up the price of drugs.

  In addition, the new version of GSP (Good Quality Management Practice for Pharmaceutical Trading) requires strict verification of pharmaceutical production processes and strengthened supervision, which has increased the ticket-passing cost of commercial companies. "As an upstream manufacturer, we can only guarantee the interests of all links and ensure the smooth flow of product channels through a certain price increase." The relevant person in charge of a pharmaceutical factory in Hunan Province told the reporter.

  Solve the skyrocketing drug prices

  Urgent need to improve the examination and approval system

  On April 3rd, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China emphasized at the the State Council executive meeting that it is normal for drug prices to fluctuate within a reasonable range, but if there is a sharp price increase, we must attach great importance to it. Especially for the commonly used first-aid drugs and rescue drugs that are urgently needed in clinic, once the supply is not guaranteed, it will threaten people’s lives and health, and patients’ lives will never be allowed to be traded. This kind of incipient problem must be resolutely curbed.

  Tracing back to the source, in order to curb the price increase of some commonly used drugs, the monopoly of APIs can not be ignored. People in the industry interviewed by reporters generally believe that the transformation of APIs from approval system to filing system is imminent.

  Zhang Buyong, general manager of Minenet, a medical data service platform, believes that this is actually the fact that the production approval documents of some APIs are monopolized by some enterprises, which leads to the skyrocketing price of APIs. To solve this problem fundamentally, we should not only intensify the crackdown on the monopoly of APIs, but also improve the related approval system of APIs.

  Shi Lichen also told reporters that at the moment when the monopoly of raw materials is more serious, the system of filing raw materials, approval of raw materials and pharmaceutical excipients is particularly important.

  "First, let go of the API filing system; Second, intensify efforts to crack down on monopoly. By comparing the purchase invoices at different stages, it is clear at a glance whether there is monopoly; Third, it is also beneficial for pharmaceutical companies to implement product pilots and turn the regional drug market into a national market. " Shi Lichen said, "Once these three points are implemented, the drug prices in the non-policy market will come down."

  Li Yong also suggested that from a legal perspective, the focus should be on strengthening law enforcement, especially on the investigation and punishment of artificial monopoly of pharmaceutical raw materials, so as to eliminate the driving force for the abnormal rise of drugs from the source; In addition, relax the access threshold for the supply of pharmaceutical raw materials and introduce market competition mechanism; Reduce the intermediate circulation links from pharmaceutical raw materials to consumer terminals and reduce unnecessary costs; At the same time, establish an effective mechanism for the storage, monitoring, early warning and emergency response of commonly used drugs.

  Cartography/Gao Yue  

He once believed that he was "incapable of making money", and how did he achieve the counterattack?

  They are dolls born and raised in the village, and their parents’ persistent and tenacious blood runs through their veins. They are a new generation of vigorous young people, and their characters are imbued with the background of youth struggle.

  On the road of getting rid of poverty, they dare to fight hard, and together with their parents, they will jointly protect this hot land where they were born. It is because of their persistence and hard work that our countryside is more energetic and hopeful.

  Voice of China launched the specially planned Young People in Our Village — — On the Gua Tian of Hope.

  This is him in the eyes of the villagers:

  Uncle Huang Xulin: "Huang Yousheng in my eyes, he was honest since he was a child, and his family was poor. In order to change his life at home, he went to plant melons in greenhouses, and now life is getting better."

  Brother Huang Shunsheng: "I work hard and eat hard, and I am quite filial to my parents."

  Zhong Pinggen, the branch secretary of Lanpan Village, said: "He is not tall, thin and small. By planting watermelons in recent years, he made some money, and now he is more confident than before. "

  Huang Yousheng: My name is Huang Yousheng, and I am 38 years old. Now I have a 45-mu watermelon field in Fenyi County. It’s hard to grow watermelons, and fertilization can’t be done until the sun goes down. I go fishing by the river and take a nap under the tree when I am free during the day. This is my rare rest time.

  Huang Yousheng shook the soil on his shoes, put the watermelon branches together and put them in the laundry basket, and rolled up the plastic film of the melon shed. The work that started at five o’clock in the morning came to an end at noon.

  There is a small river not far from the watermelon field. Huang Yousheng likes to put his fishing rod in the ground obliquely and take a nap in the shade of the shore. When he wakes up, he can see the fish take the bait. This is his only leisure time in a day.

  In the evening, Huang Yousheng got into the melon shed again. This time, he will be busy until midnight.

  In his spare time, Huang Yousheng likes fishing by the river.

  When I was young, I became the pillar of my family.

  He once said that he was "incapable of making money"

  Lanpan Village, Gaolan Township, Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province, is located in a remote place, and few outsiders visit it all the year round. It was once a poverty-stricken village at the provincial level during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.

  Here, Huang Yousheng, who lives by farming, has a family, and his life is not comfortable. His parents had difficulty walking because of illness, and his brother went out to work and was injured, which made Huang Yousheng become the main labor force at home when he was young.

  Huang Yousheng: I don’t have enough to eat every day, I don’t plant the land well, and I have no money to buy fertilizer. Going out to work is also unskilled, earning two or three thousand yuan a month. I can’t do it even if I want to, so it’s getting worse.

  Huang Yousheng tried many ways to make money. He went to Zhejiang paint factory to do odd jobs and went back to the village to raise chickens, grow watermelons and grow rice. Every time he tried to prove himself, he ended in failure. At that time, Huang Yousheng often said that he was "incapable of making money".

  Huang Yousheng: I want to do something, groping while doing it, but I can’t. First, I don’t have much money; Second, I have no skills. The idea is good, and it is good to dare to do it, but it is bad if you don’t make it.

  Huang Yousheng’s home is in Lanpan Village, Gaolan Township, Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province, which was once a poverty-stricken village at the provincial level during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.

  Pieces of work are intermittent, and all the year round, Huang Yousheng earns only enough money to feed and clothe his family.

  In 2014, Huang Yousheng’s family was included in the first batch of poverty-stricken households in the village. Zhong Pinggen, the branch secretary of Lanpan Village, observed that although Huang Yousheng sometimes lacks tenacity in doing things, he is not lazy. What he needs is someone to enlighten and lead the way.

  Zhong Pinggen: Actually, he can’t grasp the ideological and financial aspects, and he can’t find a good direction. However, he is still honest in speaking and has this kind of honesty in doing things. This is the main thing I see.

  Recommended by the village party secretary to grow watermelons in partnership

  This time he felt "better than working"

  In Fenyi County, watermelon planting is the main poverty alleviation industry, and the county’s watermelon planting area exceeds 62,000 mu. Zhong Pinggen found out that the big growers in the village were looking for someone to grow watermelons in partnership, which was a good opportunity to learn. He recommended Huang Yousheng to help at the first time.

  Zhong Pinggen: The soil here is loess. Watermelon planted in this loess is sweeter than ordinary. Huang Yousheng has two years’ experience in growing watermelons, and it is even more difficult for him to accept it if he is recommended from a newer field.

  Getting the trust from outside the family and being recommended to do things is a shock to Huang Yousheng’s heart.

  Huang Yousheng: I think it’s ok to grow watermelons in partnership, which is better than working. If it is better than working, then I definitely want to stay, earn more money and make my life better.

  In the first year, Huang Yousheng took 20% of the shares in a 120-mu watermelon field and made a net profit of several thousand dollars. This joy didn’t last long. In the third year, Huang Yousheng thoroughly understood that if he wanted to benefit, he had to have scale.

  Zhong Pinggen, the village party secretary, soon heard about Huang Yousheng’s concerns.

  Huang Yousheng: The secretary told me very seriously, did you make any money? I said, I just have no money. The secretary said, don’t give up, the funds can be discussed.

  Zhong Pinggen: At that time, several people in our village committee found him. I said that we could find a way to help solve some of the problems through the policy of poverty alleviation microfinance.

  Get rid of poverty smoothly in 2018!

  The annual sales of watermelons he planted are nearly 120,000 yuan.

  In 2017, poverty alleviation cadres used the financial poverty alleviation policy to win a loan for Huang Yousheng, and at the same time helped him find a piece of land for circulation and expand the planting scale.

  Huang Yousheng breathed a sigh of relief. He got a driver’s license, spent several thousand yuan to buy a second-hand van and stayed in the watermelon field 24 hours a day.

  Huang Yousheng: I want to pick melons at night and load cars during the day. Pick the melons one by one at night, put them there, and then ask the coolie to help me move them out. I’ll sleep in the car at night, and I’ll guard that place. You should watch the watermelon grow.

  During the watermelon planting season, Huang Yousheng often sleeps in this van.

  It is not enough to work hard, and the planting technology should be continuously improved. Learn from agricultural science and technology extension workers how to increase watermelon production and exchange experiences with other growers. As long as it is related to watermelon, Huang Yousheng can be interested.

  Huang Yousheng: The key is to explore the technology. You have to learn while doing it. If there is no "top", the more you learn, the better. Make yourself stronger, so that the products will be competitive in the market.

  In 2018, Huang Yousheng’s life ushered in an inflection point.

  He planted more than 30 acres of watermelons, and the output of two seasons a year made his sales reach nearly 120,000 yuan. Huang Yousheng, who tasted the fruits for the first time, got rid of poverty smoothly that year.

  Now, my brother Huang Shunsheng (left), driven by Huang Yousheng (right), has also started to grow watermelons.

  From foolhardy to expert in growing melons

  Next, he has a "small goal"

  The lush seedlings in the watermelon shed are dotted with yellow watermelon flowers. Huang Yousheng skillfully tidies up the second-season melon seedlings that have just been planted. If all goes well, watermelons will be harvested in late October.

  Huang Yousheng is checking the growth of watermelon seedlings and introducing the experience and skills of growing melons to reporters.

  In the cold and summer, Huang Yousheng’s watermelon planting industry is finally on the right track.

  Through continuous learning and exploration, he has changed from a previous foolhardy to an expert in growing melons, and has also mastered a little knowledge of management and sales. Now, Huang Yousheng is more willing to take the initiative to talk to Zhong Pinggen about the plan of planting melons and his own experience.

  Zhong Pinggen: He is getting more and more diligent, and he has also driven the surrounding villagers to earn some money. Our villagers go to work in his melon land, which costs about 70-80 yuan a day, and they need 7-8 people every day, and sometimes more than 10 people, which will nearly reach 80,000 yuan to pay for labor.

  Huang Yousheng hired local villagers to take care of the watermelon field together.

  Today, Huang Yousheng is inseparable from the help of the villagers. Similarly, Huang Yousheng is not only willing to share his rich experience and planting techniques with other poor households and drive everyone to grow melons together. He also hopes that the more people, the better.

  Huang Yousheng: I just want to find a few more poor households, bring them together, and let’s make a joint venture and plant 300 acres of watermelons to make some money. That’s what I think in the next few years.

  At the end of last year, with the help of village cadres, Huang Yousheng applied for a loan of 50 thousand yuan through the financial microfinance poverty alleviation policy. All of this money, Huang Yousheng, was invested in the expanded production and operation of watermelon.

  Now, his watermelon planting area has reached 45 mu. In the days that accompanied watermelon day and night, Huang Yousheng realized some truth.

  Huang Yousheng: My impatience will wear off. I am not as impatient as before. Just like planting a watermelon, it will grow slowly, so you have to wait patiently for it. It can’t be rushed by you. It’s useless to rush.

  Huang Yousheng introduced that there are five melon sheds in an acre of watermelon field, and when the year is good, the yield per acre is about six or seven hundred kilograms.

  Like a seed buried deep in the ground, Huang Yousheng survived the difficult winter. He is full of longing for the future.

  Huang Yousheng: I didn’t have a direction at first, but now I have a direction, and my mood is much better. I will work hard towards this goal and have a good start. Now I have two children, the older one is Zhiwen, and the younger one is Zhichao. I hope they will study hard and come back with some knowledge. If they want to grow watermelons, they may grow them better than me.

  For the future, Huang Yousheng is full of longing.

  To myself after 20 years.

  Huang yousheng

  Huang Yousheng, I was you 20 years ago.

  Now that I am a grandfather, Zhiwen and Zhichao should be very filial.

  Although you are in your sixties, I know you will be busy.

  Has my wish to set myself 300 mu of unicorn melon come true this year?

  I hope everything is all right in my house!
