Learning the history of the party and providing excellent service： the tax department can easily make out invoices to solve problems

Recently, local tax authorities, based on the reality, have combined the study and education of the party history with the "I do practical things for taxpayers and facilitate the spring breeze of tax collection", constantly optimized the measures to facilitate tax payment, focused on details, paid attention to practical results, solved practical problems such as invoice issuance for taxpayers, and promoted the study and education of the party history to go deeper and deeper.

Online application for offline ticket collection

It is smarter and more efficient to collect and open invoices on behalf of others.

"This month’s invoices are almost used up. I called the Inland Revenue Department to inquire about the receipt of invoices. The comrades of the Inland Revenue Department told us that the free delivery service period of invoices was extended to the end of this year, so I applied for 27 ordinary VAT invoices online with a try attitude. I really didn’t expect that the tickets I applied for in the morning would arrive in the afternoon!" Ma Tingchang, a tax official of Guilin Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Co., Ltd., said happily.

It is understood that this year, Guilin Taxation Bureau of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China introduced the self-service machine for mailing VAT invoices. After the taxpayer’s online application for invoices has been approved, it will be pushed through the Guangxi tax invoice delivery management platform. The self-service machine for mailing VAT invoices can automatically receive data and print out the corresponding invoices and mailing lists. At present, enterprises in Guilin city can apply for invoices online, which can realize the delivery of invoices in the same city, and the earliest application can be delivered in the morning and afternoon.

Not only that, the tax authorities also continue to make efforts in the process of invoicing. In view of the special situation that migrant workers have many services to invoice for services and the time of invoicing for housing rental is concentrated, the tax authorities in Guilin vigorously promote the "fingertip convenience" mode of invoicing to alleviate the congestion of invoicing.

"It’s really convenient to invoice now. You can brush your ID card on the spot and receive the invoice directly by simply clicking on WeChat at home, which greatly saves the time for invoicing. I want to praise the new convenience measures launched by the tax department!" Mr. Xu Jianhua, who has just received the invoice, said that he is a migrant worker. In order to let his children enter school smoothly, he needs to issue rental invoices on his behalf every year. In the past, he had to queue up with materials to handle the invoices. In recent years, not only the materials needed have been greatly reduced, but also the whole process can be handled online.

It is understood that at the beginning of this year, a number of tax halls of Guilin tax department tested and launched self-service ordinary invoice terminals. Taxpayers can apply and pay on WeChat, and self-service machines can receive invoices. Through online application for offline ticket collection, not only do taxpayers not need to submit paper materials, but also reduce the waiting time for taxpayers to invoice, which greatly improves the convenience of taxpayers to invoice.

In the next step, the taxation department of Guilin will continue to implement the requirements of "learning the history of the Party, understanding thoughts, doing practical things and opening up a new bureau", constantly expand the ways and means of "non-contact" tax payment, measure the effect of learning and education on the history of the Party with the actual results of the work, and further promote the learning and education on the history of the Party.

Self-service tax terminal upgrade

You don’t need a tax control panel to receive invoices.

"It is very simple to invoice and receive invoices now! You don’t need a tax control panel, you can do it with your ID card. In the past, you always forgot to bring a tax control panel. If you want to get an invoice, you have to run again. It’s still so simple. " Recently, Yu Xiansheng, who is going to receive this month’s invoice by the way, said after completing the social security business in the tax hall of the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic and Technological Development Zone in State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China.

In order to reduce the tax burden of taxpayers, the Tax Service Department of the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic Development Zone has upgraded all kinds of self-service tax terminals in a unified way. Self-service receipt of invoices does not need to be connected to the tax control panel. Legal representatives, financial leaders and tax collectors can pass the ID card identification or WeChat scanning QR code for real-name authentication, and after the authentication, they can receive invoices, which greatly simplifies the "materials" required by taxpayers to handle business on the premise of ensuring safety.

Since the party history study and education was carried out, the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic Development Zone has actively turned the effect of party history study and education into work motivation, effectively solved practical problems for the masses, continuously improved the intelligent tax service level and optimized the tax experience.

"People like us who live in villages and towns are also very convenient! I haven’t been to the window for a long time, and my business can be done online. Moreover, we also have a self-service tax machine in Lushan Town. We don’t have to come over to collect the invoice. Occasionally, we can get the invoice near the service hall, even on weekends. " Mr. Zhang, who lives in Gushan Town, Economic Development Zone, praised the convenient self-service tax service.

It is reported that in order to clear the "blind area" of tax service time and shorten the distance of self-service tax service, the Taxation Bureau of Weihai Economic Development Zone not only set up a 24-hour self-service tax service hall to meet taxpayers’ holiday tax demand, but also cooperated with towns and villages to set up various self-service tax terminals in Gushan Town and Park Town, so as to facilitate residents of the two towns to handle their own business nearby, expand the "convenient tax service circle" of towns and villages, and effectively provide convenience for taxpayers.

Invoice approval quick office

Enterprises seek development with peace of mind

"I didn’t expect you to come so soon." Seeing the tax cadres who came to the company early in the morning, Zuo Yuru, a financial officer of Tianjin Ouka Toyota Automobile Sales & Service Co., Ltd., said with surprise.

It is understood that Tianjin Ouka Toyota Sales & Service Co., Ltd. is an automobile sales and maintenance company that has been operating in wuqing district for 12 years. It mainly sells FAW Toyota cars, involving a variety of models, and the car price ranges from tens of thousands of yuan to nearly one million yuan.

Recently, the company signed more than 60 car purchase orders, but because the original invoice was 100,000 yuan, it could not meet the existing demand. In desperation, the company’s accountants immediately contacted the XiaZhu Zhuang Taxation Office of wuqing district Taxation Bureau in Tianjin, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, hoping to adjust the billing limit from 100,000 yuan to one million yuan. After receiving the application, XiaZhu Zhuang Taxation Office started the acceptance work at the first time. Early the next morning, two tax officials from XiaZhu Zhuang Taxation Office came to the company to conduct on-the-spot inspection, and instructed financial personnel to submit application materials and submit them to wuqing district Taxation Bureau in time. Subsequently, it took only one day for the tax department to complete the examination and approval procedures and send the million-dollar invoice to the company to help it complete the invoice issuance of the order in time.

"Let’s tax service is really have no words. Over the years, after the new policy, tax cadres will always come to the door in time to explain, organize business counseling and training, and solve many difficulties and problems for us. We need such a good business environment to be bigger and stronger. " Ms. Zhao, general manager of the company, said.

Since the Party History Learning and Education was launched, wuqing district Taxation Bureau has insisted on combining the achievements of Party History Learning and Education with taxation work, constantly improving and optimizing service measures from the perspective of details, timely dealing with the difficulties and blocking points that enterprises urgently need to solve, and earnestly doing a good job in benefiting the people.

The license plate is a reheating license plate. Although it is a new license plate received at the vehicle management office, the previous owner has already applied for an ETC card.

3. Do 3.ETC devices need to be charged?

There are two devices for installing ETC: OBU and tag. OBU is a solar panel, which will automatically charge when there is a certain light, so there is no need to charge it specially.

4. what if 4.ETC can’t be used normally?

When passing through the ETC toll lane, if the electronic tag can’t be used normally, it needs to be transferred to the manual lane to swipe the card, and then go to the relevant outlets for consultation. If the vehicle has already entered the ETC lane and there are many cars waiting in line behind, please ask the toll booth staff for help immediately.

5. How to issue ETC pass invoices?

Interim ＂report card＂ highlights economic resilience

　　Editor’s note:

　　In 2018, China’s economy will hit the water again.

　　With the release of major economic data in the first half of the year, the market’s attention to the current economic situation continues to heat up. How to grasp the current macroeconomic trend? What changes do the latest data with ups and downs represent? What impact does Sino-US economic and trade friction have on economic trends? Can the main goals of economic development be achieved as scheduled this year? Starting from today, the overseas edition of People’s Daily’s "Rui Caijing" column launched a series of reports on "Mid-year Economic Observation" to analyze the economic situation and respond to economic hotspots.

　　In 2018, the semi-annual economic report of China was released. Mao Shengyong, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, introduced at the press conference on the national economic operation in the first half of the year held by the State Council Office on July 16 that the GDP growth rate in the first half of the year was 6.8%, the economic operation continued to develop steadily, and the economy was moving towards high-quality development. Analysts pointed out that under the background of increasing uncertainty in the external environment and solid progress in domestic structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, China’s economy has handed over a bright interim "report card", which fully shows that China’s economy has strong resilience in the process of coping with shocks and challenges, and also adds confidence and confidence for China’s economy to face the complicated and severe domestic and international environment in the next stage.

　　Steady growth, stable employment and stable prices.

　　"In the first half of the year, China’s economy continued its overall stable and stable development trend." Mao Shengyong introduced.

　　How to understand "stability"?

　　Mao Shengyong pointed out that from the perspective of growth rate, the GDP growth rate in the first half of the year was 6.8%, and it operated stably in the middle and high speed range of 6.7% to 6.9% for 12 consecutive quarters; From the perspective of employment, the national urban survey unemployment rate has been below 5% for three consecutive months; From the price point of view, consumer price CPI rose by 2% in the first half of the year, showing a moderate upward trend.

　　How to understand "good"?

　　The structure is more reasonable — — According to reports, in the first half of the year, the added value of the tertiary industry accounted for 54.3% of GDP, an increase of 0.3 percentage points over the same period of last year; The contribution of service industry to economic growth was 60.5%, 1.4 percentage points higher than the same period of last year. In terms of demand, the contribution rate of consumption to economic growth reached 78.5% in the first half of the year, an increase of 14.2 percentage points over the same period of last year.

　　Innovation is stronger — — "Since this year ‘ Streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services ’ Reform continues to deepen, and entrepreneurial innovation continues to develop, ‘ Shuangchuang ’ The upgraded version is constantly being built. " Mao Shengyong said that in the first half of the year, there were 18,100 newly registered market entities per day, representing the rapid growth of related industries and products with technological progress, transformation and upgrading and high technology content, and the accelerated growth of service consumption.

　　Better quality — — In the first half of the year, the proportion of clean energy consumption in the whole energy consumption increased by 1.5 percentage points over the same period of the previous year; Energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 3.2% year-on-year. The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents nationwide actually increased by 6.6%, which was the same as that in the first quarter; General public budget revenue exceeded 10 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.6%.

　　How does the trade war affect us?

　　Zhang Liqun, a researcher in the Macroeconomic Research Department of the State Council Development Research Center, analyzed this reporter’s analysis. The good economic performance of China in the first half of the year fully shows that China’s economy has strong resilience in the process of coping with shocks and challenges. With China vigorously promoting high-quality development, intensifying reform and opening up, innovating and improving macro-control, the resilience of development will be further enhanced, which will add confidence and confidence to China’s economy in the face of complex and severe domestic and international environment.

　　On July 16, when asked by the media about the impact of Sino-US trade friction on economy and prices, Mao Shengyong said, "The main indicators of China’s economic operation in the first half of this year were generally stable. If there is any impact from Sino-US trade friction, I think if there is, it is relatively limited. In the second half of the year, we need to further observe the impact of Sino-US trade friction. But on the whole, the Sino-US trade friction unilaterally provoked by the United States will have an impact on the economies of China and the United States, and because the world economy is generally deeply integrated, the industrial chain is in a global layout, and many related countries will also be affected. Therefore, it will also affect the recovery of the global economy and the sustained growth of world trade. "

　　As for the impact of Sino-US trade friction on prices, Mao Shengyong said that from the current situation, the price operation is still relatively stable. Mainly the price of imported soybeans may rise to some extent, which will bring some changes in the prices of bean products and related products. Generally speaking, first, the weight of soybeans and bean-related products in CPI is relatively small. Secondly, the downstream products of beans, mainly soybean meal feed, may push up the price of pork or eggs, and beans will affect edible oil. However, from the first half of this year, the prices of pork and edible oil in China are still at a relatively low level. The price of pork decreased by 12.5% year-on-year, and the price of edible oil decreased by 1%. Even if the price rises a little, the impact on the whole CPI is very limited. Moreover, from the trend in the second half of the year, consumer prices are expected to continue the trend of moderate increase.

　　The steady and positive trend will not change.

　　"Overall, in the first half of the year, the fundamentals of China’s stable economy were consolidated, and the short-term downward pressure did not cause obvious troubles to China’s economy. In the second half of the year, there are still many variables in the external environment, and the internal economic development is still unbalanced and unstable. However, considering the solid foundation of China’s steady economic growth, the continuous efforts of a series of regulatory measures, the in-depth promotion of supply-side structural reforms and the high growth in the medium and long term, China’s stable and positive economic development trend will continue, and a more beautiful answer sheet should be handed over throughout the year. " Zhang Liqun said.

　　Mao Shengyong said that from the main data in the first half of this year, in the pattern of economic growth, domestic demand is the decisive force, and consumption in domestic demand is the pillar. From the second half of the year, consumption itself has the basis and conditions for rigid growth, residents’ income has maintained rapid growth, the pace of upgrading the consumption structure has accelerated, and increasing imports has promoted the activity and supply of market sales, so consumption still has the conditions to continue the steady and rapid growth trend.

　　From the perspective of investment, the Bureau of Statistics introduced that first, the growth rate of manufacturing investment has accelerated for three consecutive months, and this momentum is expected to continue in the second half of the year; Second, real estate investment increased by 9.7% in the first half of the year, and leading indicators show that real estate investment is still expected to maintain rapid growth in the second half of the year; Third, infrastructure investment declined in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, with the completion of project cleaning, compliance projects accelerated, and infrastructure investment is expected to remain basically stable in the second half of the year. So investment in the second half of the year should be a basically stable trend.

　　"To say that domestic demand is the decisive factor does not mean that external demand is not important, but external demand is still a very important variable. In the first half of this year, foreign trade generally continued a good development trend. Foreign trade does face some challenges in the second half of the year, but there are also many favorable factors, and overall it is expected to maintain steady and rapid growth. " Mao Shengyong said that considering several factors, the stable and positive economic situation in the second half of the year will not change.

Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS Heavy Upgrade Opens a New Era of Parking Spaces to Parking Spaces.

　　On December 29th, Jin Yuzhi, CEO of BU, Huawei’s smart car solution, joined hands with Chen Zhuo, president of technology, to start the smart driving live broadcast and experienced the latest "parking space to parking space" smart driving function of Huawei Gankun Smart Driving ADS. Jin Yuzhi announced in the live broadcast that Huawei Gankun Smart Driving ADS 3.0 ushered in a heavy upgrade. With the help of smart driving, Huawei Gankun Smart Driving ADS truly realized the end-to-end experience of "getting on the bus and driving yourself, getting off the bus and stopping yourself".

Automatic parking gives way to non-motor vehicles in front.

　　As can be seen from the live broadcast, Huawei’s performance in driving ADS 3.0 is very good. Without protection, it turns left and right to automatically avoid pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and vehicles, and automatically stops the vehicles in front of it, which is very silky. When turning around and bypassing the island, the route selection is reasonable and smooth, and the overall performance is very similar to an "old driver".

　　Huawei has redefined the "parking space to parking space" intelligent driving experience standard.

　　In 2024, the end-to-end technology route became the mainstream of the smart driving industry. As the most intuitive value display of end-to-end technology in the experience end, the "parking space to parking space" smart driving function triggered industry competition and became a key dimension to measure the level of smart driving.

　　As the first person in the industry to put forward the concept of "parking space to parking space", Huawei Gankun has always led the industry in the landing speed and actual performance of end-to-end technology. At the beginning of 2024, Huawei Gankun was the first city NCA； in the industry to be commercialized. In April, ADS 3.0 with end-to-end architecture was released, and the industry first proposed "parking space to parking space"; In August, with the release, ADS 3.0 was the first in the industry to realize mass production and commercialization, realizing a more human-like and safer intelligent driving experience. This time, with the release of ADS version 3.2, Huawei Gankun officially upgraded the two functions of "parking space to parking space" and "VPD parking and driving", and has started to push them one after another.

　　Compared with the "parking space to parking space" that has been launched in the industry at present, Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS redefines the new standard of "parking space to parking space" intelligent driving experience in the following three aspects. First of all, you don’t need to remember in advance, you can use it on the first trip. At present, the "parking space to parking space" in the industry is generally "from fixed parking space to fixed parking space", which requires users to run the parking space and route before using this function, so that the system can remember that it can only be used the second time, which is a waste of time. Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS can be used when driving into a strange parking lot for the first time, which can meet the flexible travel needs of users.

　　Secondly, you can stop if you have a seat, regardless of the parking space. The "parking space to parking space" in the industry is memory parking. When the parking space is occupied, you can’t roam, so you need to take over the parking manually, which is not practical. Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS doesn’t need fixed parking spaces at the starting and ending parking lots. Even if the parking spaces are occupied, it can intelligently roam to find new parking spaces, allowing users to realize parking freedom.

　　Third, independent learning and evolution, the more open, the better. The industry is generally a simple patchwork of the function of "smart driving and navigation+memory parking", and the usage scenarios are limited. Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS relies on advanced "autonomous learning" technology to continuously expand the scope of parks and parking lots it supports. With the continuous expansion of the scale of intelligent driving, the number of parking lots covered will be more and more, and the experience will be better.

　　Jin Yuzhi said in the live broadcast: "Real parking spaces to parking spaces must support from any parking space to any parking space, without the need for users to spend time memorizing routes, memorizing by rote, and fixing parking spaces. You can stop if you have one, and the more you open it, the easier it is to use."

　　Intelligent market space has been opened.

　　2024 is the first year of large-scale commercialization of smart driving. According to the data, in 2024, the penetration rate of the intelligent networked automobile market has exceeded 20%, and it is expected to be close to 80% by 2030. With high-speed pilot as the core, the allocation rate of L2+ new energy vehicles above 200,000 has reached 65%, which has gradually become the standard. The penetration rate of advanced intelligent driving represented by urban NCA is also increasing rapidly, and it is estimated that the carrying capacity will reach 20 million in five years.

　　Jin Yuzhi said in the live broadcast that the intelligent market space has been opened. At the industry level, the most direct performance is that all car companies have begun to promote smart driving, and the smart driving function has changed from optional to standard. At the user level, the knowledge and experience of intelligent driving has changed from "fear of using" to "dare to use" and from "common use" to "love to use", and intelligent driving is becoming a new mode of travel.

　　With the rapid development of the industry, Huawei BU also entered a period of rapid growth in 2024. At present, the cumulative shipment of Huawei Gankun Zhijia ADS has exceeded 500,000 sets, and the cooperative models cover sub-tracks such as cars, SUVs, MPVs and off-road, including extended range, pure electric and hybrid power modes. According to statistics from the third party, Huawei ranks first in the sales list of NCA vehicles in urban areas in China. In the sales ranking of more than 300,000 luxury brands equipped with NCA models in urban areas, Huawei’s sales of Gankun Zhijia cooperative models ranked first; Both exceed the sum of the second and third places.

　　In the live broadcast, Jin Yuzhi also revealed the development plan of Huawei Gankun in 2025 for the first time. He said that in 2025, dozens of new cars equipped with Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS will be listed one after another; In research and development, Huawei Gankun will continue to invest in research and development of the next generation of ADS under pressure, and cooperate with relevant organizations such as national standards, policies and regulations to jointly promote the commercial and urban L3 pilot of high-speed L3; In addition, the pre-function of VPD parking and driving is expected to be piloted at Shenzhen Airport in January 2025, which will be the first commercial benchmark in the field of intelligent driving in the world. At the same time, Huawei Gankun will also launch the "worry-free parking" right to ensure the convenience and safety of users when using this function from multiple dimensions.

　　The "parking space to parking space" intelligent driving function released by Huawei Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a key step towards L3. Driven by technological innovation, Huawei Gankun is pressing the acceleration button to lead intelligent driving into the next brand-new era.

How can infectious diseases spread？

　　The route that causes the epidemic and spread of infectious diseases is called the route of transmission, that is, the route through which pathogenic microorganisms are discharged and invade another susceptible organism. Common routes of transmission are: (1) airborne transmission, including (1) droplet transmission. Pathogens existing on the surface of respiratory mucosa can be ejected with the patient exhaling, talking loudly, coughing, sneezing, etc. These mucus droplets containing a large number of pathogens are small in size and suspended in the air for a short time (usually no more than a few seconds), so the spread of droplets is limited to close contacts around patients or carriers. Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, influenza and whooping cough can be spread in this way. Crowded public places, such as cabins with many passengers and waiting rooms at stations, are common places where this kind of spread occurs. ② It is spread by dust. Secretions containing pathogens are scattered on the ground, clothes or sheets in large droplets and become dust after drying. When tidying clothes or sweeping the ground, dust with pathogens flies and causes respiratory transmission. All dry-tolerant pathogens can be spread in this way, such as mycobacterium tuberculosis and anthrax spores.

　　Most airborne infectious diseases have seasonal characteristics, which are generally more common in winter and spring. There are many factors affecting air transmission, which are related to population density, living conditions and the proportion of susceptible people in the population. (2) Water transmission includes two modes of transmission. One is diseases caused by drinking water polluted by feces, such as cholera, typhoid fever, bacillary dysentery and hepatitis A; The other is diseases caused by contact with "epidemic water" (infected water), such as schistosomiasis and leptospirosis, and its pathogens mainly invade the body through skin and mucosa. (3) Through food transmission, all intestinal infectious diseases, some parasitic diseases and individual respiratory diseases (such as tuberculosis and diphtheria) can be transmitted through food. (4) Contact transmission, including two modes of transmission: ① Direct contact transmission refers to the transmission caused by the contact between the source of infection and the susceptible person without any external factors, such as sexually transmitted diseases, rabies, rat bite fever, etc. (2) indirect contact transmission, also known as daily contact transmission, refers to the transmission caused by the contact of susceptible persons with daily necessities contaminated by excreta or secretions from infectious sources. Contaminated hands play a particularly important role in indirect contact transmission.

　　Sexually transmitted diseases include any diseases transmitted through sexual behavior, which belongs to contact infection. (5) Transmission by vector arthropods refers to infectious diseases transmitted by arthropods biting and sucking blood or polluting food. For example, flies and cockroaches can carry pathogens of intestinal infectious diseases, and mosquitoes can spread Japanese encephalitis. (6) Spreading through soil. There are many opportunities for soil pollution. For example, human manure fertilization pollutes the soil with intestinal pathogens or parasitic eggs, such as hookworm eggs and ascaris eggs. Spores of some bacteria can survive in the soil for a long time, such as tetanus, anthrax, gas gangrene, etc. If the skin is damaged, it can cause infection through the soil; Children playing in the soil are susceptible to ascariasis. (7) Vertical transmission is the transmission between the pregnant woman and the fetus, which can include transmission through the placenta and transmission caused by childbirth.

Health declaration and inquiry system for migrant workers in our province goes online.

On February 16th, the reporter learned from the Provincial Big Data Center that the health declaration and inquiry system for migrant workers in Sichuan has been officially launched. The platform, jointly developed by Sichuan Big Data Center and Provincial Health and Wellness Committee, can provide health certificates for migrant workers in the province and facilitate their return to work. The platform can fill in personal information anytime and anywhere, inquire about health status, and obtain and use the QR code of health certificate. Online reporting can not only reduce the time spent outside, but also reduce close contact and reduce the risk of cross-infection.

It is understood that the health declaration and inquiry system for migrant workers in Sichuan is an online service platform tailored for the convenience of migrant workers. The health certificate can be declared and checked through the provincial government website, Sichuan government service network, Tianfu Tongban APP, Sichuan Group Defense Express, WeChat applet, WeChat, Alipay and other channels. With the launch of the system, the reporter interviewed relevant R&D personnel to reveal the features and highlights of the system for you.

Why launch this online service system? "One is for the convenience of the masses. Basically, everyone has a mobile phone, through which you can fill in personal information, check health status and use health certificates anytime and anywhere. " The R&D staff told the reporter that migrant workers can fill it out on their mobile phones in advance, and only need to carry out necessary epidemiological history investigation and temperature measurement at hospitals or community health service centers. After passing the examination, they can automatically generate health certificates online, which is very convenient. "At the same time, using this system can ensure safety. Online reporting can reduce the stay time in hospitals or community health service centers, reduce close contact between personnel, and minimize the risk of cross-infection. "

"This system mainly introduces three service functions for migrant workers, inspection doctors, employers, etc." The R&D personnel introduced that the first is the declaration function. Migrant workers can fill in personal basic information, health status and contact history online through the system, and complete the declaration of health certificates independently. The second is the confirmation function. The doctor knows the applicant’s information in advance through the system, measures the body temperature on the spot, asks about the contact history and health status, and confirms the results online and offline. The third is the inquiry function. Employers and destination villages (communities) can scan the health QR code of migrant workers and conduct health check at any time.

It is reported that the system was developed under the authorization of emergency headquarters in Sichuan Province to deal with the novel coronavirus epidemic, and the generated electronic health certificate has the same effect as the paper health certificate. Electronic health certificate can be confirmed with one click, generated immediately, valid within 3 days, and can be used directly online. "Therefore, this system is authoritative, extensive and timely."(Reporter &ensp; Chen Song &ensp; Liu Wenzao)

Gree pursues beauty, with a difference of 100 billion in half a year.

　　In terms of scale, Gree Electric lags behind Midea Group in air conditioning, small household appliances and diversified businesses, with a total revenue difference of 98 billion yuan in the first half of 2023. However, judging from many data, Gree still has its own advantages, such as abundant cash on the account and high gross profit margin of air-conditioning business.

　　author　|Lin Xia Xi

　　source　| City boundary

　　Revenue reached a new high in the first half of the year, and net profit did not return to a high point.

　　If one sentence is used to describe the semi-annual report of 2023 released by Gree Electric on the last day of August, it is that "all aspects are recovering, but many data are hidden".

　　Let’s look at the overall revenue and net profit performance-99.79 billion yuan and 12.35 billion yuan in the first half of the year, respectively. The former hit a record high, but the year-on-year growth rate was small, only 4.16%, while the latter maintained a growth rate of 14%, but it still did not reach the level of 2018 and 2019.

　　Such growth has not kept pace with the market.

　　Under the influence of El Ni? o phenomenon, there was a rare high temperature in the first half of 2023. Stimulated by this, although the real estate industry remained sluggish, the sales and retail sales of domestic household air conditioners increased by 12.72% and 16% respectively, which was much higher than Gree’s overall income and air conditioning income.

　　On a larger scale, Gree Electric, which lags behind the market, is also gradually falling behind in the world. According to the latest data, the threshold for entering the Fortune 500 in 2023 is 225.165 billion yuan, while Gree’s annual income in 2022 is 190.151 billion yuan, and there is still a certain gap. From 2019 to 2022, Gree Electric’s ranking in the Fortune 500 has also dropped from 414 to 487.

　　In terms of revenue composition, Gree Electric’s revenue of 99.79 billion yuan in the first half of this year accounted for more than 1% of the business, including air-conditioning business that contributed 70% of the revenue, eco-agriculture and green energy services that contributed 2.92% of the revenue (mainly including buses and energy storage equipment under Gree Titanium), and small household appliances that contributed 2.18%.

　　In addition, industrial products and other businesses contribute a total of 23.6% of revenue, which is actually quite eye-catching.

　　A small number of industrial products mainly include compressors, motors, molds, etc., which belong to To B business, while other businesses mainly focus on purchasing upstream raw materials, mainly to play the role of bulk purchasing and lowering prices. After purchasing, they are sold to upstream processing enterprises, with a gross profit margin of only about 2%, which mainly plays a role in expanding income scale from a financial point of view.

　　It is worth noting that although the overall income of Gree Electric reached a new high in the first half of 2023, if the "other businesses" that hardly make money are deducted, the total remaining income has not actually returned to the level of the first half of 2019, and the income from air conditioning business alone is even worse than that in 2018 and 2019.

　　In addition to self-comparison, we can better understand what such data means by horizontally comparing Gree Electric with its old rival Midea Group. In the first half of 2023, Gree lost 98.006 billion yuan compared with Midea Group’s total revenue of 197.796 billion yuan.

　　Fairer, if the "other income" of the two companies is deducted, Gree has fallen behind the United States by 100.969 billion yuan, which is the biggest gap in the main income of the two companies in history.

　　So where is the difference between the 100 billion yuan?

　　In terms of air-conditioning business, Gree has been at a disadvantage since 2020, and the gap has been widening in the past three years. The gap in the semi-annual report has expanded to 22 billion yuan; In the field of small household appliances, in the first half of 2023, Gree Electric’s income was only 2.177 billion yuan, while Midea Group’s income was 30 times higher than that of 68.136 billion yuan.

　　In addition to home appliances, Gree Electric’s industrial products, green energy and smart equipment businesses generated a total revenue of 8.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2023, which is about half of the revenue of Midea Group’s robots and automation systems.

　　It is worth noting that both companies are making efforts in the automation and intelligent production of To B, but the paths are different.

　　Judging from the semi-annual report, Gree Electric emphasized the technology and quality of core components such as compressors (core devices of air conditioners) and motors (power sources of electrical appliances), but Midea Group emphasized the complete solutions for different scenarios in the fields of medical care, entertainment and consumption.

　　If we distinguish between domestic and foreign income, after deducting "other business", Gree Electric’s domestic income actually lagged behind that of the United States 10 years ago, but the gap was small. Until 2023, the gap in the semi-annual report has expanded to 47.5 billion yuan, the highest in the past years, equivalent to 59% of Gree’s only beauty.

　　The bigger gap is overseas income. The gap between the two has expanded from 18.5 billion yuan in the first half of 2014 to 67.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2023. Gree’s current overseas income is only equivalent to 16% of Midea Group.

　　At least in terms of scale, Gree Electric has indeed fallen behind Midea Group in terms of air conditioning, small household appliances and diversified businesses, and the gap has also reached a new height.

　　"Sequela" of Dealer’s Rebellion

　　In addition to the overall performance, a series of subtle changes can be seen in the semi-annual report in 2023, which may be related to the "rebellion" of some dealers in Gree Electric last year.

　　In the first half of 2023, the sales expenses in Gree Electric increased by 71.01% year-on-year. The semi-annual report showed that it was mainly due to the increase in product installation and maintenance fees, but the air-conditioning revenue in the current period only increased by 1.82% year-on-year, which was in sharp contrast.

　　Although in absolute terms, the sales expenses of 8.41 billion yuan in the first half of the year are not the highest in the semi-annual reports over the years, it is the first time to look through the financial reports over the years, like in the first half of 2023, because of the installation and maintenance costs, the sales expenses have risen sharply.

　　As a leader in the field of air conditioning, the probability of a sudden surge in maintenance costs due to quality problems in the first half of the year is not great, so it is more likely that the installation costs have increased substantially. But why did the air conditioner sell less than 2% more, and the sales cost rose by 71% because of the installation cost?

　　In fact, the after-sales business of air conditioners has always been the responsibility of distributors all over the country. They also manage the air conditioner sales business and after-sales business including installation and maintenance in the corresponding areas. When installation services occur, the distributors will charge certain fees from the air conditioner manufacturers, and they will also charge customers aerial work fees, material fees and so on according to the situation.

　　In September, 2022, Gree fell out with dealers in Hebei, who published a Notice, describing a series of inside information that Zhuhai Gree headquarters shut down the after-sales service management authority of Hebei Gree Company, and after Gree Zhuhai Hengge took over the after-sales service in this area, it proposed sales performance tasks for maintenance points, changed the preferential policies that Hebei Gree used to provide such as free overhead fees and free punching fees, and so on.

　　After the two parties parted ways, the new distributor that Gree Electric was looking for in Hebei surfaced-Eye-searching showed that Gree Zhuhai Hengge Digital Technology Co., Ltd. mentioned in the Notice was previously owned by Zhuhai Hengge Trading and Jiangsu Saifu Green Food Development Co., Ltd., but the latter withdrew in May this year and Xiamen Saifu Trading Co., Ltd. became the new shareholder.

　　It is noteworthy that Liu Qiangdong and ZhangZetian once appeared among the shareholders of Jiangsu Saif Green Food, but they withdrew from the shareholders in 2020. The legal representative of Xiamen Saif Trade, the new shareholder, is Zuo Yujie, just like Jiangsu Saif Green Food.

　　According to the public information, Zuo Yujie has a close relationship with JD.COM. He used to work in JD.COM and still serves as the chairman of Runjing Information Technology Co., Ltd., which is the operator of JD.COM Wine World, and JD.COM Wine World is an omni-channel wine retail enterprise invested by JD.COM.

　　In addition to the 71% increase in sales expenses, the contractual liabilities of Gree Electric (that is, the advance payment paid by dealers) rose by 79.7% to 28.972 billion yuan at the end of June 2023, while the operating cash inflow increased by 40% to 127.9 billion yuan year-on-year. It can be considered that the changes in important distribution channels have brought a series of effects, that is, new dealers have large-scale purchase demand, which brings considerable cash flow and contractual liabilities, and at the same time corresponds to the regional after-sales service system.

　　In addition, considering the above indicators comprehensively, there is another possibility, that is, delaying the recognition of income and recognizing expenses in advance.

　　In this case, a considerable part of the goods have been sent to the dealers, and the payment has been received, and the installation has been completed after the sales by the dealers. However, Gree Electric did not settle this part of the payment with the dealers for some reason, which led to the fact that it is still reflected in the books as contract liabilities rather than income. However, the installation expenses that have occurred have already been reflected in the sales expenses because they need to be included in the corresponding period, which leads to a huge difference between the increase of income and sales expenses.

　　In either case, the high probability is related to the change of dealers, and it can also be regarded as the sequela of the "rebellion" of important dealers in Gree Electric in 2022.

　　Gree still has its own advantages.

　　Even if the overall performance lags behind Midea Group, many indicators in the 2023 semi-annual report are affected by changes in dealers, but from many data, Gree still has its own advantages.

　　The first is ample cash in the account.

　　At the end of June, 2023, Gree’s book cash and wealth management reached about 200 billion yuan, more than all the cash and wealth management on the books of Midea and Haier combined, but it should also be noted that 64.219 billion yuan of them were restricted funds.

　　At the same time, the gross profit margin of Gree Electric’s air-conditioning business returned to a high level of 35.69% in the first half of 2023. In the same period, Midea Group’s air-conditioning gross profit margin was only 23.29%, while Haier Zhijia’s was 28.62%, which was related to Gree’s greater focus on air-conditioning, which led to higher overall asset operation efficiency, as well as a certain cost advantage gained by centralized procurement of raw materials, which was of course a direct manifestation of its brand premium.

　　If we compare the per capita income and per capita profit, Gree Electric will be the highest in 2022. Because of this, although the total revenue of Gree Electric and Midea Group in the first half of the year is nearly 100 billion yuan, the difference in net profit is only about 6 billion yuan. Haier Zhijia, whose income is 32% higher than that of Gree Electric, has a net profit of only 73% of that of Gree Electric.

　　These all point to one of Gree Electric’s greatest advantages-that is, it can earn more money with higher efficiency in the established field of air-conditioning business.

　　However, the capital market of "voting with your feet" only gives Gree Electric about half of the current market value of Midea Group, which shows that it is not enough to have a strong ability to make money in one field, and the scale of revenue is also very important.

　　In contrast, Midea Group seems to have chosen another path.

　　Ten years ago, Midea Group began to lay out multi-category household appliances and overseas business. Although at a certain stage, the product lines were messy and redundant, it could be improved through necessary simplification and transformation. The longer-term significance lies in broadening the possibilities and having a greater first-Mover advantage in related tracks. Especially when the external environment changes, such advantages may bring subversive development.

　　It’s not that Gree Electric doesn’t want to embrace diversity and look for the second or even third curve, but the exploration in these years has not been smooth. Compared with the traditional thinking, the early smart phone project was flooded, but the unreliable Yinlong was chosen for the new energy grand track, and the small household appliances business was slow to progress because it entered too late, not to mention the overseas market that could not open the situation by adopting conservative strategies.

　　Interestingly, just like Midea Group, which has developed a number of business segments as the driving force for subsequent growth, He Xiangjian also retired early and chose Fang Hongbo as his successor. On the other hand, in Gree Electric, the issue of successor has been unresolved, and 69-year-old Dong Mingzhu is still closely bound with brand IP and active in front of the stage.

　　The difference between the two can also be seen from the age of management. The average age of 16 Dong Jiangao in Gree Electric (one of whom has no information) is 57 years old, and only one of them, Dong Mingzhu, has an annual salary of more than 5 million yuan, with a salary of 11.42 million yuan in 2022.

　　In contrast, the average age of the 22 directors of Midea Group is 50 years old, and 8 of them earn more than 5 million yuan a year. Among them, the chairman Fang Hongbo earned 11.3 million yuan in 2022, while the average age of the 21 directors of Haier Zhijia is 52 years old, and no one earns more than 5 million yuan a year.

　　Even if we only consider the air-conditioning business, it is not difficult for Gree Electric to maintain single-digit growth, and it is understandable to describe it as a relatively stable and solid manufacturing industry. However, in order to break through the existing situation and catch up with the rhythm of the times again, Gree obviously has to continue to look for its own possibilities.
