Investigation Report on Prepaid Consumption of Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee

　　Prepaid consumption refers to a kind of consumption mode in which consumers enjoy preferential activities of merchants in accordance with the agreed way after paying a certain fee to the operators in advance, and purchase goods or receive services in stages, that is, consumers usually encounter "card first, recharge first and then consume". In life, prepaid consumption generally exists in beauty salons, fitness, health care, laundry, retail and other industries. On the one hand, operators provide convenience for consumers, and consumers can enjoy preferential prices from merchants; On the other hand, operators can quickly increase the number of stable customers and quickly gather funds.

　　In recent years, prepaid consumer disputes have gradually increased and become a hot spot of consumer disputes. In 2018, the province’s Consumer Protection Committee system accepted a total of 130,505 complaints, including 16,976 complaints about prepaid consumption, accounting for 13.01% of the total complaints. Jiangsu(Province)In 2018, the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee supported a total of 5 consumer lawsuits, all of which were prepaid consumer disputes, accounting for 100%.Some operators have hidden traps when providing goods or services, and the way of paying first and then consuming often puts consumers in a passive position, and it is impossible to predict the consistency and consistency of providing standard services. Even some operators run away after receiving the advance payment, which leads to mass incidents and affects social stability.

　　The Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, which came into effect on July 1, 2017, clearly stipulates the scope of prepaid cards and the setting of time limit, and gives consumers the right to regret on the 15th. However, over the past year or so, disputes over prepaid cards still occur frequently.

　　In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, such as the right to know, the right to property safety, the right to claim compensation, and promote the healthy development of prepaid consumption mode, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee conducted a survey on prepaid consumption in Jiangsu Province around the theme of "Credit makes consumption more secure", deeply understood the current situation of prepaid consumption, analyzed the crux of the problem and put forward reasonable suggestions.

　　First, the basic situation of investigation work

　　(1) Time of investigation

　　February 2019 — Mar.

　　(II) Respondents

　　The prepaid cards mentioned in this survey are all single-purpose prepaid cards, which are prepaid vouchers for operators to provide goods or services in advance, including physical cards with magnetic stripe cards, chip cards and paper coupons as carriers and virtual cards with passwords, serial codes, graphics and biometric information as carriers. Divided into registered cards and bearer cards.

　　(3) Survey method and sample size

　　This survey adopts the combination of online questionnaire survey and offline observation survey, and obtains a total of 17,546 valid samples.

　　Online: With the help of the official WeChat platform of Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee "Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee" and Litchi News,WeChat Official AccountOnline media such as "xici" homepage conducted a questionnaire survey on prepaid card consumption. A total of 17,476 valid samples were obtained from the online questionnaire survey.

　　Offline: An investigation team composed of volunteers made an investigation on 70 samples in Jiangsu Province, covering six cities in Jiangsu Province, including Nanjing, Changzhou, Nantong, Yancheng, Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and involving six industries, including beauty salons, fitness, health care, comprehensive retail, education and training, and laundry, where prepaid consumer disputes are frequent. A total of 70 valid samples were obtained from offline field experience, including 61 registered cards and 9 unregistered cards.

　　Second, analysis of the survey results of prepaid card processing

　　(1) Investigation on the basic situation of consumers: 85% of consumers have done prepaid cards, and the most involved fields are beauty salons, comprehensive retail and fitness industries.The online questionnaire survey shows that the proportion of male and female consumers participating in the survey is 60.8% and 39.2% respectively. 7.2% of consumers are under 18, 74.2% are between 18 and 40 years old, 17.9% are between 41 and 65 years old, and only 0.7% of consumers are over 65 years old. From the perspective of age distribution, the consumer groups are mainly young and middle-aged.

　　Among online participants, 70.2% of consumers have handled it, 14.6% of consumers often handle it, 15.2% of consumers have never handled it, and nearly 85% of consumers have handled prepaid cards.

　　Among them, 41.3% of consumers apply for a card because of the strong preferential treatment of merchants, 37.8% think it is convenient to settle accounts, 13% are embarrassed to refuse the promotion of merchants, and 7.8% of consumers choose to apply for a card for other reasons.

　　From the point of view of the industries selected to handle the card, beauty salons (including beauty, manicure and haircut) and comprehensive retail (including department stores, supermarkets, grocery stores and convenience stores) are the most, followed by fitness, catering and education and training.

　　(two) in the field experience, more than half of the operators’ advance payment exceeds the limit.

　　According to the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, if an operator issues a single-purpose prepaid card (including other advance receipts), the limit of a single registered card shall not exceed 5,000 yuan, and the limit of a single bearer card shall not exceed 1,000 yuan. Among them, individual industrial and commercial households need to issue single-use prepaid cards, and the single-page limit shall not exceed 1,000 yuan.

　　However, the results of this survey show that many prepaid cards issued by operators have exceeded the limit. According to the online questionnaire survey data, after July 1, 2017, 42.2% of consumers said that they had paid less than 1000 yuan, 39.4% had paid 1,000-5,000 yuan, 14.3% had paid 5,001-10,000 yuan, and 4.1% had paid more than 10,000 yuan. 18.5% of consumers spend more than 5,000 yuan on prepaid card services.

　　Among the prepaid cards with a single amount exceeding that of 1000 yuan, 74.1% of consumers said that the prepaid card was a registered card, and 25.9% of consumers were unregistered cards. That is to say, 25.9% of the consumption of bearer cards has exceeded the limit.

　　In the off-line physical survey, 57.1% of the samples have the situation that the amount of advance payment exceeds the limit, among which the excess situation in beauty salons, health care and education and training industries is more serious, accounting for 32.5%, 22.5% and 17.5% respectively.

　　The advance payment of some registered card samples far exceeds the legal limit of 5,000 yuan, such as Nantong Yongqi Beauty Salon.A shopNanjing Taihe sealcertainThe store leaflet page says that the maximum recharge amount is 50,000 yuan, in Wang Yu, Changzhou.certainIn the introduction of the stored-value card hanging behind the cashier, the maximum amount is 60,000 yuan. In the survey, some companies did not directly display the amount of advance payment through leaflets and other forms, but they learned that there was also excess by asking the staff, and even some businesses said that "the recharge amount is not capped".

　　Example diagram of excessive advance payment amount of some registered cards

　　44.4% of the bearer card samples are in excess, among which Changzhou is happy.certainThe highest amount of cash card advertised by the store is 500 yuan. However, when the experiencer asks if it is ok to handle a bearer card with a face value of 2000 yuan, the staff can, but they say that there is no cash card, so they need to go to the Finance Department to make a card with this face value and deliver it the next day after receiving cash in advance.

　　Example diagram of excessive advance payment amount of bearer card

　　(3) When handling prepaid cards, most operators will not take the initiative to sign consumption contracts with consumers.

　　According to the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, when an operator provides goods or services in the form of advance payment, it shall clearly agree with consumers on the quantity and quality, price or expenses, time limit and method of performance, safety precautions and risk warning, after-sales service, civil liability and other contents.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, only 38.6% of the operators signed the consumption contract voluntarily when handling prepaid cards for consumers, 24% of the consumers asked to sign the contract voluntarily, and 37.4% did not sign the contract.

　　In the field survey, when handling prepaid cards, only 20% of the samples signed contracts at the initiative of the operators and consumers, and 30% of the experience samples did not sign formal contracts, but registered the personal information of consumers.remain50% of the experience samples have not signed a contract.Agreement, also did not register consumer information..

　　Sample diagram of some contracts

　　(4) The validity period of some prepaid cards is set.

　　According to the Regulations on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, the validity period of prepaid cards shall not be set.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, 50.3% of consumers have set the expiration date for prepaid cards, while 35.8% have not set the expiration date.

　　According to the offline survey results, 27.1% of prepaid cards have a valid period, 60% of prepaid cards have no valid period, and 12.9% of them have a valid period, but the merchants verbally promise that consumers will not have a valid period when using them.

　　Sample Diagram of Setting Validity Period for Some Samples

　　(5) No one in the survey publicized the total amount and usage of prepaid cards.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, 63.5% of consumers said that the operators did not regularly publicize the total amount and usage of prepaid cards in their business premises, and 36.5% of consumers said that the operators regularly publicized the total amount and usage of prepaid cards in their business premises.

　　However, in the offline investigation, all the samples did not disclose the total amount and use of prepaid cards in the business premises. At the request of the inspectors, some merchants’ computer background systems can check the funds of prepaid cards.

　　Sample Diagram of Backstage Inquiry of Prepaid Card Funds for Some Samples

　　In addition, the field experience survey results show that 50% of the samples have the problem that the business license is not publicized on the wall; After the prepaid card is recharged, 14.3% of the merchants have no recharge credentials such as invoices or receipts.;After spending the card, 58.6% of the samples have paper or electronic receipts with the balance indicated, 5.7% have paper or electronic receipts without the balance indicated, and 35.7% have no consumption vouchers.

　　Third, analysis of the investigation results of prepaid card withdrawal

　　In 2018, the complaint data of prepaid consumption accepted by the Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee system showed that the top three complaints about prepaid cards were that consumers were dissatisfied and asked to return their cards, businesses ran away, and consumers returned their cards for personal reasons.

　　(1) Consumers’ requests for card refund are frequently rejected.The results of online questionnaire survey show that 15.9% of consumers were rejected because the merchants did not provide goods or services as agreed and asked the merchants to refund; 13% of consumers were rejected because the merchants closed down, closed down or changed their business premises and asked for a refund; 9.6% of consumers’ requests for unreasonable refund within 15 days of card application were rejected.

　　In addition, in the process of prepaid card consumption, 21.9% consumers were not informed of the precautions when they applied for the card, 18.3% thought that the goods or services were inconsistent with the publicity, and 9.2% did not encounter any consumption disputes; 8% cannot be reissued because the card is lost.

　　In the field experience survey, 57.1% of the merchantsWhen the experiencer asks for a refund, he saidDo not agree to refund,butamongpartMerchants are observing personnel "arguing" or even "arguing fiercely"barge"After the consent.. finallyThere are still 25.7% businesses insisting.No refund will be given.Only 42.9% of the merchants agreed to refund after the inspectors first proposed the refund. In addition, three of the non-refundable samples were bearer cards, accounting for 33.3% of all bearer card samples in this survey.

　　(2) The merchant agrees to return the card but fails to refund the money according to the agreed time or the refund process takes too long.Although some merchants promised a refund and promised in writing the latest time for the refund to arrive, they did not honor their promises on time. For example, a store in Nanjing Xiaomeihui promised a refund on March 1 at the latest, but when the inspector contacted the other store manager on the 4th, he found that the other party had deleted the WeChat friend. After calling the customer service number, the customer service said that there was no mobile phone number of the store manager and the store manager could not be contacted. finallyAfter many negotiations,The other party completed the refund on March 8.

　　It takes a long time for some merchants to receive the rest of the money after returning their cards. According to the investigation, it is a regular time to receive the money within one week, and a little longer is about one month, but Changzhou Sakura JapaneseTraining institutionsIt means that the card refund process takes 3 months.

　　(three) fees are non-refundable,Shall not terminate the contract… … It is difficult to withdraw the card from the "overlord clause" in the fitness industry

　　In the sample of the fitness industry in this survey, 90% of the merchants said that they could not return their cards, and suggested that the inspectors transfer the cards. But each family needs 300— 500 yuan’s card transfer fee varies, including 480 yuan (monthly card) for the store of Nanjing Yingpaisi National Fitness Center, but 400 yuan is needed for the card transfer fee.

　　The common types of overlord clauses include: (1) agreeing that the final interpretation right belongs to the merchants, such as a store in Nanjing Branch Laundry, a store in Yancheng Nasdaq English, a store in Yangzhou Meg Image Design Salon and Changzhou Muqing Health Club; (2) It is agreed that the prepaid card will not enjoy other benefits at the same time, such as a store in Wang Yu, Nantong Huaxia Liangzi, Yangzhou UCC International Laundry, Xuzhou Lanxi Modeling, etc. (3) Prepaid cards are non-refundable, such as a store in Yancheng Pandora Modeling, a store in Xuzhou Pengzu Driving, a store in Nanjing Taihe Xi, a store in Yancheng Hanbang Fitness, etc. (4) If the prepaid card is lost, it will not be replenished or the card replacement procedure is complicated, such as a store in king of the children, Changzhou Jieji Fruit Store, Yancheng Golden Eagle International, Changzhou Daxilai Store, etc.

　　At present, there is a general overlord clause in prepaid consumer contracts, mainly because these contracts are unilaterally drawn up standard contracts, and consumers can only express their full agreement or disagreement, so there is no room for negotiation on the terms. According to the provisions of Article 40 of the Contract Law, if the party providing the format clause exempts its liability, aggravates the other party’s liability or excludes the other party’s main rights, the clause is invalid. Therefore, clauses such as "the final interpretation right belongs to the merchant", "the prepaid card is non-refundable, lost and not replenished" and "the contract cannot be terminated" are of course invalid, even if the consumer agrees, they will not be effective.

　　(fourMerchants don’t refund money when they run, and consumers have no way to refund their cards.

　　In the questionnaire "Did you receive the operator’s notice one month in advance when the operator closed down, closed down or changed its business premises", 38.4% of consumers did not receive the notice, 32.8% received the notice one month in advance, and 28.8% did not encounter the operator’s closure, closed down or changed its business premises.

　　According to the complaint data of prepaid consumption accepted by the Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee system in 2018,Complaints received due to "merchants running away"5417 cases, accounting for the annual prepaid consumer complaints.total capacity32%.In this physical investigation, no sample ran away, but the sample of a store in Nanjing Jaeger-LeCoultre was changed to Platinum Meiye at the time of investigation, and the other party said that it had changed its boss. The original Jaeger-LeCoultre membership card could be recycled after a certain reduction rate, but the specific reduction rate was not provided by the other party.

　　Although some businesses have not terminated their services, they frequently change their business entities, which seriously affects consumer confidence. In 2016, Ms. Miao applied for a 50,000-yuan prepaid card at Kafan Yincheng Dongyuan Store. In 2018, the store was transferred to Jaeger-LeCoultre, which is still a beauty salon. Ms. Miao contacted Kafan Head Office and the store manager, and the other party said that if the card needs to be returned, the 30,000-yuan spent item will be deducted according to the original price, and the original price of the 30,000-yuan spent item has exceeded 50,000 yuan. The operator said that the card can continue to be used in the new store, so Ms However, the store was renamed Amy soon. In February this year, the store was under renovation and its name was changed. After each store name change, when Ms. Miao asks for a card transfer, the newly opened store will ask for a recharge before continuing to enjoy the original discount. The same address is a beauty salon,butDecoration and store nameFrequent replacementThe prepaid card purchased by consumers will be recharged repeatedly.Otherwise, you can’t activate the helplessness..

　　Fourth, consumers suggest improving laws and regulations

　　The results of online questionnaire survey show that if consumers are not satisfied with the consumption of prepaid services, 33% of them will seek the coordination of merchants, 21.2% will seek the mediation of Consumer Protection Committee, 16.7% will be afraid of trouble, 13.3% will complain to the competent authorities, 12.7% will seek media exposure, and 3.1% will file a court lawsuit.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, 80.6% of consumers think it is very necessary to strengthen the management of prepaid card issuance, fund supervision and risk monitoring by improving laws and regulations, 13.8% of consumers think it is unnecessary, and 5.6% think it doesn’t matter. This result reflects that more than 80% of consumers hope to strengthen the market supervision of prepaid card consumption through the improvement of laws and regulations.

　　Consumer protection Committee suggested

　　The lack of laws and administrative regulations on single-use prepaid cards in China is far from solving the practical contradictions caused by single-use prepaid cards. At present, the management of single-use prepaid cards in Jiangsu is mainly based on the Administrative Measures for Single-use Commercial Prepaid Cards (Trial) issued by the Ministry of Commerce in 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the Administrative Measures) and the Jiangsu Consumer Protection Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the Consumer Protection Regulations) which came into effect on July 1, 2017.

　　In terms of supervision of prepaid card issuing enterprises, Article 64 of the Consumer Protection Regulations stipulates that if an operator issues a prepaid card exceeding the prescribed limit in violation of the second paragraph of Article 27 of these regulations, or fails to fulfill the refund obligation in violation of the second and third paragraphs of Article 28, the commercial department shall order it to make corrections within a time limit; If no correction is made within the time limit, a fine of not less than ten thousand yuan but not more than thirty thousand yuan shall be imposed. However, Article 2 of the Administrative Measures stipulates that its applicable subject is an enterprise legal person engaged in retail, accommodation and catering, and residential service. This will lead to more concentrated complaints about prepaid card consumption disputes and more individuals running away.industry and commerceSupervision of householdsIs still a big problem.

　　(1)Fill the lawRegulatoryblind zone.It is still difficult to legislate at the national level. In view of the persistent problems of single-use prepaid card operators running away and lack of supervision of funds, it is suggested to introduce local regulations and legislation for single-use prepaid card management in Jiangsu Province as soon as possible with reference to the practice of Shanghai.Focus on solving the following aspects:

　　Incorporate individual industrial and commercial households into the scope of supervision. nowAdministrative measuresYes, there are a lot oflaunchIndividuals with prepaid business activitiesIndustrial and commercial householdsThere is no restriction,As long as a set of so-called membership management system is formulated, merchants can recruit members and absorb funds. The conditions for issuing prepaid cards, the amount of funds received in advance, the issuance and redemption of consumer cards, and the preservation of transaction records are all their own decisions. It is suggested to learn from the supervision experience of issuing prepaid cards by enterprise legal persons, bring the prepaid card business activities of individual industrial and commercial households into the scope of administrative supervision, and clarify the qualifications of issuers, access conditions, filing management and capital risk monitoring. The competent authorities of the industry should determine the supervision objects based on the business behavior of market entities, rather than distinguishing the attributes of businesses.The Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Management of Single-use Prepaid Consumer Cards was formally implemented on January 1, 2019, in which Article 2 included the business activities of single-use prepaid consumer cards and their supervision and management within the administrative area of Shanghai into the scope of the regulations.

　　Clarify the administrative supervision of various industriesdepartment.The issuance of single-use prepaid cards involves many industries, especially after a large number of self-employed individuals are brought into supervision.In order to avoid unclear responsibilities between administrative departments, it should be further clarified.Business, education, tourism culture, etc.The subject and scope of industry supervision of single-use prepaid cardsAnd responsibilities.At the same time,Market supervision, taxation, public security, People’s Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission and other departments to assist.Supervision, strengthen the joint.renovate, the implementation of the whole process supervision of its business access, trading behavior, business behavior, etc.. The Consumer Protection Committee (Consumers Association) and the administrative organ should give full play to their respective advantages. The consumer protection system should strengthen the publicity and education of consumers and consumer guide, and pay attention to the docking of complaints and referrals. The administrative organ should establish a list of serious untrustworthy subjects, aiming at major typical cases found.Business departmentYing LianMarket supervision and other departmentsCarry out joint rectification, shock the industry and purify the market,Strengthen the standardization of card issuing operatorschangemanage, increase the intensity of illegal punishment.

　　Establish marginsystemOr a third-party payment management system.Merchants issue a large number of prepaid cards and reserve a large amount of funds in a short time. Once it appears later,If the funds are used for other purposes, the investment fails or the funds cannot be withdrawn in time, it will lead to a refund redemption crisis involving many consumers. suggestionIntroduce banks as the third-party supervision of prepaid card funds and establish a deposit system.Restrain merchants and improve the "single insurance" mode of prepaid card funds only relying on merchants’ own credit.. The deposit is the same as the amount received in advanceshould doMaintain a certain proportion, and the margin account shall not be misappropriated.Once it appears,Consumer rights and interests are damagedSituation, butPay compensation in advance from this account.At the same time, you canImplement the payment management system of third-party payment, such as Alipay, WeChat, bank escrow, etc., to prevent operators from suddenly rolling up money and fleeing.Consumer property suffers losses,Safeguard consumers’ right to property safetyAnd the right of claim.

　　(2)Prepaid consumption concentration industrybuildModel text of contract.

　　The survey found that most prepaid consumers have no formal contracts and do not issue invoices.Provide a card or only keep the mobile phone number of the consumer, even if the contract is signed, it will stipulate the overlord clauses such as "our store has the right to modify and terminate the use right of the consumer card" or "the prepaid service fee for applying for card refund will not be refunded". Even if it recharges tens of thousands of dollars, even the operators who say "the top is not capped" do not have a complete contract to protect consumers’ legitimate rights and interests such as the right to know, the right to safety, the right to fair trade and the right to claim compensation.

　　The Provincial Consumer Protection Committee suggested to establish a model contract text for industries with concentrated prepaid consumption. In the model contract text, the merchants are required to list the performance period, scope of use, detailed address of the merchants, the amount and payment method of the prepaid consumer card, the way of performance guarantee responsibility, and the liability for breach of contract. explicitIf the consumer card is terminated or changed due to the reasons of the merchant, the consent of the consumer shall be obtained. If the consumer disagrees, the merchant shall refund the balance of the card in full according to the expenses paid by the consumer when actually purchasing, after deducting the consumption after enjoying the preferential margin.Aiming at the problem of overlord clause, it can be excluded by enumeration.

　　In view of the businesses found in this survey that have many problems involving overlord clauses and refuse to apply for prepaid card refunds without reason or obstacles, the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee will ask the operators to rectify within a time limit by means of interviews, etc., and those that are illegal will be handed over to relevant departments.

　　Consumer tips

　　Can impulse consumption be refunded?

　　In June 2018, Ms. Ren spent 6,000 yuan under the strong marketing of a beauty and body business.

　　Yuan purchaseoneA membership card. After returning home, Ms. Ren regretted it and asked the merchant for a refund of the card, which was decisively rejected by the merchant.

　　Case analysis: This case is a typical dispute caused by impulsive consumption. According to Article 28 of the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province: "If an operator provides goods or services by issuing a single-use prepaid card, the consumer has the right to ask for a refund within 15 days from the date of payment without reason, and the operator can deduct the reasonable expenses it has incurred for providing goods or services." This clause clearly gives the consumer the right to return the card for 15 days without reason. Ms. Ren enjoys a 15-day cooling-off period when purchasing a prepaid card, and the merchant should make a refund request within the cooling-off period.

　　Consumer Tips: Consumers must be rational before choosing a card, and handle it rationally according to their own needs. Don’t be tempted by the sales promotion of merchants, try to choose a prepaid card with a small amount and use it as soon as possible.

　　When the swimming card expires, do you have to pay before activating it?

　　Yu Xiansheng handled a swimming card in 2017, with a balance of more than 1,000 yuan. In July, 2018, Yu Xiansheng was told that the card had expired, and if he wanted to continue to use it, he needed to recharge it again.

　　Case analysis: This case is a typical prepaid consumption dispute caused by setting the validity period. Paragraph 2 of Article 27 of the Regulations on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province stipulates: "… … Prepaid cards may not have a valid period. " Article 19 of the Measures for the Administration of Single-use Commercial Prepaid Cards stipulates: "A registered card shall not have a valid period; The validity period of bearer cards shall not be less than 3 years. Card issuing enterprises or card selling enterprises should provide supporting services such as activation and card replacement for bearer cards with a balance of funds beyond the validity period. " Therefore, when there is still a balance in the card, it is illegal for the operator to refuse to use it on the grounds of expiration, which is suspected of unjust enrichment.

　　Consumer Tips: According to Consumer Protection Regulations, the validity period of prepaid cards may not be set. Even if the validity period of bearer cards is set according to Administrative Measures, operators are obliged to provide services such as extension and activation for bearer prepaid cards of consumers to ensure their normal use.

　　Can I refund the "No Termination of Contract"?

　　In September 2017, Ms. Liu registered 60 private fitness classes for her children in a center in Nanjing, and paid 15,840 yuan after the discount. After six classes, I want to cancel the contract and return the card because my child is busy with school work. However, the center refused to apply for a refund for consumers on the grounds that the agreement stipulated that "the contract shall not be terminated".

　　Case analysis: According to Article 40 of China’s Contract Law: "If the party providing the standard clause exempts its responsibility, aggravates the other party’s responsibility and excludes the other party’s main rights, the clause is invalid." Article 26 of China’s Consumer Protection Law also stipulates: "… … Operators shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions to consumers, such as excluding or restricting consumers’ rights, lightening or exempting operators’ responsibilities, and aggravating consumers’ responsibilities, by means of format clauses, notices, life notices, store notices, etc. … … Format clauses, notices, statements, store notices, etc. contain the contents listed in the preceding paragraph, and their contents are invalid. " The fitness center deprives consumers of the right to terminate the contract in the form of standard clauses and overlord clauses, which obviously infringes on consumers’ fair trade rights and should be considered invalid.

　　Consumer tip: "No termination of the contract" is the overlord clause, and consumers still have the right to terminate the contract. However, in the case of consumer default, the operator will charge a certain amount of liquidated damages and refund the card for the consumer.

　　What if the merchant runs away?

　　Since February 2018, consumers have continuously reported that a restaurant located in Sucheng District, Suqian City closed down without notifying the relevant cardholders to deal with the aftermath, resulting in consumers’ stored-value cards being unable to continue to be used, and consumers have no way to refund.

　　Case analysis: The business operator in this case can’t fulfill the obligation of providing catering services as agreed, which infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, such as fair trading rights. According to Article 53 of China’s Consumer Protection Law, "If the business operator provides goods or services in advance, it shall provide them as agreed. If it is not provided in accordance with the agreement, it shall fulfill the agreement or refund the advance payment according to the requirements of the consumer. " The business operator shall refund the remaining money that has not been consumed according to the requirements of consumers.

　　Consumer tips: when consumers find that businesses violate laws and regulations or have abnormal business conditions, they should consult or report to relevant departments in time; If the business suddenly closes down and cannot be contacted, and fraud is involved, it should be reported to the public security department in time.

Depth Holography： The Encounter of Holography and Depth Neural Network

Written by | Zheng Shanshan and Zhang Xiangyu

Description | This article is submitted by the author (research group).

With the rapid development of mathematical optimization and computing hardware, deep neural network（Deep Neural Networks, DNN）(noun explanation >) has become a powerful tool to solve many challenging problems in various fields, including decision-making, computational imaging, holographic technology and so on.

Since its development in 1947, holography（holography）(noun explanation >) has become an important and extensive technology, and has applications in various fields of optical engineering, including optical imaging, microscopy, metrology, three-dimensional (3D) display and so on. Holography means containing all information of light waves, which is physically divided into two processes: recording and reconstruction of wavefront, both of which can be realized by optical or digital methods.

At present, the two different fields of holography and deep learning have merged with each other, forming a new interdisciplinary field-depth holography.

Recently, from Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of SciencesSitu guohaiResearcher with　Deep holography　For the topic of　Light: Advanced Manufacturing　In this paper, a review article was published, and the progress of depth holography was comprehensively reviewed.holographic(holography)andDeep neural network(DNN)The mutual promotion relationship between them.

Dnn has been proved in holographic reconstruction and computer generated holography.（computer-generated Holography, CGH）Almost all aspects of the application;

● Holography has the ability of interconnection and parallel processing of light speed, which is an optical realization of DNN, that is, optical neural network.（optical neural networks, ONN）(noun explanation >).

In this paper, the basic theory and architecture of DNN are briefly introduced, then some important progress and research trends of depth holography are discussed, and finally its future prospect is prospected. I hope this review can promote the further development of this field.

Deep Neural Networks: A Concise Introduction

The conceptual framework of DNN is shown in Figure 1. Feedforward neural network, or multilayer perceptron.（MLP）There is an input layer, an output layer, and one or more hidden layers. Each layer can have a different number of neurons, called perceptron; And each unit receives the weighted sum of its inputs from the upper layer.(Except for the first layer, its input is the original image to be processed by NN). The goal of feedforward neural network is to optimize an NN model to approximate a continuous function.trainAft learning that network parameter,The mapping from the input space x to the output space y can be realized.

Compared with the traditional holographic technology based on physics, DNN method has been proved to have unique advantages. As long as there is enough data, DNN can learn features from the higher-level structure composed of lower-level features, but it can’t clearly express the exact physics of the system, which leads to great challenges to the generalization and interpretability of the method.

Therefore, we very much hope that we canGive full play to the advantages of DNN and physical model at the same time, develop DNN based on physical information.（Physics-informed DNN）.

● Physical integration（physical fusion）, or a single physical DNN.

It directly inputs the solution of physical model as DNN model.(part).

● Residual physics（residual 　physics）, or recursive physical information DNN

Add physical solutions to the output of DNN, so that DNN model only needs to learn the mismatch between model-based solutions and the real situation.

● Regularized physics（physical 　regularization）, or concatenated physical information DNN.

The regularization term in a set of physical constraints is used to punish the network solution. The regularization term can be used as part of the loss function or through the physical reconstruction process.　　

● Embedded physics（embedded　physics）DNN

As shown in Figure 2, the central idea is to bring the physical model into the network optimization cycle.

● Network approximate physics

As the name implies, the physical model is approximated by using DNN.

Holographic reconstruction

Hologram can be regarded as the superposition of object light and reference beam. The intuitive method of holographic reconstruction is based on the physical model of diffraction, that is, the numerical calculation of wave diffraction process. Off-axis holography can be solved by spatial filtering, but spatial filtering will bring the loss of high-frequency components, which greatly hinders the quality of reconstructed images. For coaxial holography, the removal of zero order is relatively simple, so most of the research on coaxial holography reconstruction is to deal with twins.

Physically, twin images are actually out-of-focus copies of reconstructed object images, which can be eliminated by subtracting out-of-focus images. At present, the most widely used strategy is to adjust some physical parameters of the optical system and obtain the corresponding holograms, so as to establish a small linear equation set, and to link the recorded holograms with the tuning parameters, and then solve the object wavefront.

Mathematically, the twin image artifact is caused by the lack of phase when the hologram is recorded. This shows that if the missing phase of the hologram can be solved, the twin image artifacts can be solved.

Holography inspired by DNN

1) The most direct method: "end to end" DNN

EHoloNet developed by ResNet and U-Net: receiving the original digital hologram as input, and generating the phase object wavefront without artifacts;

Y-network architecture: simultaneously reconstruct intensity and phase from a single digital hologram;

It is also possible to generate a countermeasure network（GAN）Implementation, training data does not need to be paired.

2) Physical fusion, or DNN of single physics.

The traditional numerical free space is used to propagate back to the target plane, and then the amplitude and phase of the reconstructed wavefront are sent to DNN respectively, and all these artifacts are removed by training.

3) physically embedded DNN

As shown in Figure 3, this strategy has two obvious advantages by incorporating the physical imaging model into the traditional DNN:First of all, it does not need any data for pre-training; Secondly, the reconstructed image satisfies the constraints imposed by the physical model, which is interpretable.

DNN model in PhysenNet can be replaced by other neural networks, depending on the task at hand. For example, researchers have successfully incorporated the phase imaging model into the GAN network.

Figure 3. Schematic diagram of DNN incorporating physical model: phase imaging (Source: Light: Science & Applications, 9: 77 (2020).)

In addition, DNN method can also be used to solve various problems related to holography.Such as phase unwrapping, autofocus, phase distortion compensation, speckle suppression, computer generated holography (CGH).

DNN inspired by holographic technology

Holographic technology is to realize optical neural network.（ONN）One of the important ways.

The early research includes the optical realization of fully connected neural network and Hopfield model, which is a cyclic neural network.（RNN）The foundation of. Holographic neural network does not use logical neurons like digital neural network, but relies on the interconnection of hologram itself. In a fully connected holographic neural network, the weights are stored in the pixels of the hologram.(neuron)Medium. a layer or deck(hologram)Each neuron simply modulates the light shining on it from the upstream layer and then illuminates the downstream layer. Holographic neural network can be realized by photorefractive crystal, which is a three-dimensional device in itself and may store billions of weight data. Therefore, it is hopeful to solve large-scale reverse problems in principle.

Figure 4. Schematic diagram of diffraction depth neural network

(a) DNN contains a plurality of transmission (or reflection) layers, in which each point on the layers acts as a neuron with a complex transmission (or reflection) coefficient, and the transmission or reflection coefficient of each layer can be trained using deep learning, thereby performing a function between the input and output planes of the network. After the learning stage, the design of D2NN is fixed; Once it is manufactured or printed in 3D, it can perform the learned functions at the speed of light. Different types of diffraction depth neural networks: (b) classification and (c) imaging. (Source: Science,361(2018))

The modern realization of holographic neural network takes advantage of diffraction, so it is named diffraction depth neural network.（D2NN）, as shown in Figure 4. In hardware implementation, the hologram in D2NN is actually a diffractive optical element.（DOE）It can be realized by 3D printing, nanotechnology, or electrically addressable digital micromirror devices.（DMD）Get. Like many other optical neural networks, the original D2NN was trained offline. In order to implement better training strategies, researchers have made a lot of efforts, such as back propagation technology to update unit weights through gradient transformation from Euclidean space to Riemannian space, and methods to realize optical grouping. People have also studied the applications of D2NN in logic operation, optical information processing, holographic reconstruction, pulse shaping, single pixel machine vision of spectral coding and so on.

Summary and prospect

The integration of holography and neurocomputing has greatly promoted each other’s development, and also provided us with a wonderful field to explore.

For holography inspired by DNN, this paper discusses five different ways to incorporate physical information, and shows their applications in solving various problems related to holography.

● In addition to trying different DNN architectures,An important trend is to incorporate physical models into DNN models.. This idea has been paid close attention by researchers in different fields.

● PhysenNet embedded in physical model has obvious advantages, but its optimization speed is slow.For lightweight network structure and more effective training algorithmMade a request.

●　Comprehensive utilization of the advantages of physical prior and traditional data-driven methodsIt can make the training more effective, improve generalization and increase interpretability.

For DNN inspired by holographic technology, most of the research published so far focuses on optical reasoning. The parallel processing ability of the holographic neural network at the speed of light does guarantee powerful reasoning ability, even surpassing the performance of Tesla V100 tensor core GPU, the top product of Nvidia, in some tasks.

In order to give full play to the advantages of optics, it is necessary toOn-line training of network by optical means.There are many possibilities to effectively implement most basic functions in DNN.　

●　Relying on the development of new optical materials and equipmentThe wave can be modulated at high speed at sub-wavelength scale to improve the performance of D2NN.

●　The rapid development of neural computing provides us with more powerful algorithms., such as spike neural synaptic network (SNN), can simulate the behavior and learning potential of the brain. The applicability and potential of these new algorithms in holographic technology need to be tapped.

　　"Go, go to the canteen!" At mealtime, Duan Feng greeted several old partners and walked into the community canteen.

　　"There are many people here every day. Sometimes if you don’t want to cook at home, you will come and buy some. Old people like us still enjoy discounts." Duan Feng, 70, is a migrant from Nanwenying Community in Rongdong District, xiong’an new area. Since the opening of the community canteen, he has also become an "old customer".

　　“红烧鲫鱼、肉片豆腐、西红柿炒鸡蛋、清炒菜花，4小份菜外加4个馒头，算上七五折的优惠，我们付14块钱就行。”一边说着，段峰一边把餐盘放到了桌子上，“这儿做的花样多，口味也不赖，挺好！”

　　2023年5月10日，最高领袖总书记赴河北雄安新区容东片区南文营社区考察。他先后来到社区党群服务中心和社区食堂，同社区工作人员、现场办事群众、就餐的社区老人等亲切交流，仔细查看民情台账，对社区开展的便民养老服务等表示肯定。

　　最高领袖强调，我一直牵挂着回迁群众，看到大家生活好，我很欣慰。建设好雄安新区，重要的是衔接好安居和乐业，让群众住得稳、过得安、有奔头。要同步推进城市治理现代化，从一开始就下好“绣花”功夫，积极推进基本公共服务均等化，构筑新时代宜业宜居的“人民之城”。

　　Care about the old age and care about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Before leaving Nanwenying Community in Rongdong District, the Supreme Leader said to the gathered people with deep affection: "I have worked in Hebei and have a nostalgia for Hebei. I am very happy to see that the people here have a good life! "

　　For the people, rely on the people and benefit the people. The "Xiong ‘an Chapter" of Chinese-style modernization focuses on the people and explores a new path to build a modern city with new development concepts. Over the past six years since the establishment of xiong’an new area, the background color of the people depicted in this "city of the future" has become increasingly rich.

　　Stay stable: a happy life is within reach.

　　More than 5,000 people from Anxin and Rongcheng counties have been resettled in Nanwenying Community in Rongdong District, xiong’an new area. There are 8 communities including Suntech Garden, Lixian Garden and Juxian Garden.

　　Duan Feng’s family was originally a villager in Hu Village, Dahe Town, Rongcheng County. At the end of 2021, they moved back to Rongdong District and lived with their wife in a 100-square-meter three-bedroom apartment.

　　"The houses are all hardcover, and the elevators go up and down the stairs. At that time, the bags were directly checked in, and even the electric water heaters were installed for us. Now I live in a spacious and bright house every day. Compared with the original life, the days are more beautiful! " Duan Feng said.

　　Talking about the feeling of living in a new home, Duan Feng happily introduced: "Every day, you can go to the community pension station to play cards. When the weather is fine, you can go out and walk around, and the community often organizes some activities to respect the elderly. My wife and I can get a pension every month, and we don’t have to worry about spending enough money and living. The children are also filial and the days are very happy. "

　　Nanwen Community Pension Station, with a total area of 886 square meters, mainly serves nearly 3,000 elderly people in Nanwenying and Nanwen communities. It is equipped with free activity spaces such as painting and calligraphy room, activity room, multi-function hall, health cabin and lounge, where services such as cultural entertainment, psychological comfort and health guidance are provided for the elderly to meet the diversified needs of different elderly people and open up the "last mile" of pension services, so that the elderly can enjoy a happy old age.

　　Here, the reporter saw Hou Dongqi, a migrant who was leading a dozen old people to sing. "When I used to live in the village, there weren’t so many entertainment items, but now I can’t pick them, such as singing, calligraphy, table tennis, clapping and dancing, and fan dancing … … Everyone can be happy! " Hou Dongqi said.

　　Wang Weixiao, secretary of the Party branch of Nanwenying Community, said that the community party-mass service center can provide 45 government services and convenience services for residents, and through the joint construction of party building, it has built a number of neighborhood-level public service facilities such as community canteens, community museums, neighborhood stations, pension stations, sports activity rooms, and red e-commerce business incubation bases. Together with kindergartens, health service stations, and convenience business points, it has built a number of neighborhood-level public service facilities with perfect service functions, diversified service subjects, higher service quality and higher service efficiency.

　　Nanwenying Community Dining Hall officially opened on February 1st this year, adopting the operation mode of "marketization+public welfare", opening to community residents and tourists, and offering exclusive discounts for the elderly: 60.～70-year-olds can enjoy a 25% discount, 71～80-year-olds can enjoy a 50% discount, and 81-year-olds and above can enjoy a 25% discount. The elderly have completed the real-name authentication and can eat when they brush their faces in the canteen. At present, Nanwenying Community has carried out real-name authentication for more than 1,000 elderly people.

　　"In fact, we are still in the exploratory stage of the community canteen project, but we feel very worthwhile to see the happy smiles of the old people when they come to the canteen to eat, and we will continue to make this project bigger and stronger." Chen Churong, deputy stationmaster of the convenience service station of Nanwenying Community Party Group Service Center, said, "We will also provide food delivery services for special elderly groups such as the elderly, living alone and empty nests in conjunction with the community volunteer service team to further meet the personalized, diversified and popular home care service needs of the elderly in the jurisdiction."

　　Live a safe life: "one call and one response" to promote the modernization of urban governance

　　There are "aborigines" in xiong’an new area who turn farmers into citizens, as well as builders, relocated people and entrepreneurs. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out: "We are not building a beautiful new city, but just building a new city for the people to live a better life."

　　Governing the city, under the "embroidery" effort. "It is necessary to promptly perceive the worries, worries and worries of community residents and solve them one by one." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader explained the "greatest achievement" of "benefiting the people" in this way.

　　"At the beginning of the relocation of the relocated people, the Rongdong area faced problems such as the relocated people not adapting to urban life and the poor coordination and linkage of various construction and operation entities." Yang Shuo, director of the Community Construction Division of Rongdong Management Committee, said that responding to people’s demands in time and solving people’s urgent difficulties and worries have become the top priority of all work.

　　To this end, Rongdong Management Committee actively explored a new model of community governance, launched a "one call and one response" working mechanism under the guidance of party building, and relied on "community — Community — The three-level grid of "Loumen", active service and all-round arrangement, forms two accounts and three lists, and builds a grassroots governance system with multi-channel appeal expression, multi-agent participation and multi-department linkage.

　　“‘ One-call response ’ The working mechanism was first implemented in Nanwenying Community in Rongdong District, and 292 residents’ needs and demands were coordinated and solved, so that small things did not leave the community and major events did not leave the area. " Wang Weixiao said, "The general party branch of Nanwenying Community consists of 8 temporary grid party branches, 1 temporary community property party branch, 1 temporary community canteen party branch and 25 loumen party groups, forming a party building pattern of linkage from top to bottom and co-construction."

　　At the same time, combined with the actual situation, Nanwenying Community, district construction units and resident units jointly carry out activities such as theme education and volunteer service to realize information exchange and resource sharing and jointly solve the needs and demands of the masses.

　　In August last year, some people in Nanwenying community reported that the construction of the gas station project on the east side of their residential area caused noise to disturb the people, and there were security risks. Some people also showed excitement during the exchange of WeChat groups. Community cadres immediately contacted the district construction unit to coordinate the construction unit to stop construction at night, and directly contacted the planning department to understand the standardization of gas station site selection, and organized the floor chief and residents’ representatives to hold a residents’ forum and make policy explanations..At this point, the residents untied their hearts and the "contradictions" were successfully resolved.

　　Under the guidance of the community, the residents’ sense of ownership in participating in community governance is gradually awakened. At present, Nanwenying Community has set up seven volunteer service teams, including "Firefly" and "Red women soldiers", which have played an active role in policy theory propaganda, human settlement environment improvement, contradiction and dispute mediation, and security risks investigation.

　　In 2023, Rongdong District has held several joint meetings on community governance. Up to now, 373 issues such as mass disputes, house maintenance, structural transformation, community environmental sanitation, public facilities maintenance and electric vehicle charging and parking have been solved.

　　Have a head start: a stable employment "rice bowl" at home.

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to give priority to employment, improve the guiding policies for employment and entrepreneurship, and strengthen the re-employment training for the labor force in the new district.

　　In Nanwenying Community Party and Mass Service Center, there is a "people’s sentiment account". Although the account book is small, it records the major events, minor events and trivial matters of community residents.

　　"Hello, do you have any unemployed college students at home who need employment registration service?" At 9 o’clock in the morning, Chen Churong began a day-long home visit to find out the situation of unemployed college graduates in the community and registered them in the "People’s Account".

　　"We will regularly check the situation of fresh graduates and unemployed college students in the community. According to the job information provided by Rongdong Employment Service Center, we will accurately push them every two weeks, and everyone will push them at least three times." Chen Churong introduced that in addition to employment assistance for college students, the community has also set up odd jobs stations to summarize the information of nearby enterprises and post them on the bulletin board of the community to provide more intuitive information for community residents to apply for jobs and take part-time jobs.

　　"Does our fast food restaurant still recruit people?" "What are the specific requirements for the post?" … … In Nanwenying community odd jobs station, staff often receive consultation calls from the masses.

　　Flexible employment is an important channel to increase people’s employment and income. Compared with the traditional fixed working mode, odd jobs are more flexible and independent, and "odd jobs" play an important role in promoting the employment and income of older and difficult people. Since the establishment of odd jobs post, fewer and fewer residents are unemployed at home, and more and more residents are employed at home.

　　Jing Dongying, 45, found a job as a "cook" in the canteen through the community. "8 hours a day, walk to and from work for 5 minutes, and pay monthly." Jing Dongying said.

　　In order to ensure the high-quality and full employment of the relocated residents, xiong’an new area Rongdong Management Committee has established a "1+N" employment service system, set up Rongdong Employment Service Center and odd jobs post station, built a docking platform between supply and demand, and fully tapped jobs. Through special activities such as large-scale visits and policies to find people to serve at home, we can learn more about the employment status, skills, employment intentions and training needs of each household, record the "public sentiment account" in detail and upload the data to the smart community platform.

　　In addition, Nanwenying Community also relies on the red e-commerce business incubation base in Rongdong District to train the relocated people for free. Combine the original local traditional industries such as clothing, plush toys, furniture and bags, develop new formats such as e-commerce sales, and encourage young people in the community to increase their income and get rich through live broadcast. The community red e-commerce business incubator base has carried out 14 training courses such as "network entrepreneurship training course" and "beautician and makeup artist", training 448 students and helping 294 people to find jobs.

　　Since the beginning of this year, xiong’an new area has organized more than 80 recruitment activities of various types, providing more than 70,000 jobs for college graduates, migrants and rural laborers.

　　Xiong’an new area has entered the stage of paying equal attention to large-scale construction and undertaking Beijing’s non-capital function relief, and the focus of its work has shifted to high-quality construction, high-level management and high-quality relief development.

　　The hoof moves forward steadily, and the "city of the future" is growing day by day. Xiong’an new area’s construction is a Millennium project, and it will take a long time to make achievements. We can neither be impetuous nor wait for the important, but we must work hard and diligently. On the new journey, we must strengthen our confidence, maintain our determination, be steady and steady, do good deeds, adhere to a blueprint to the end, and work one after another, truly turn a high-standard urban planning blueprint into a high-quality realistic picture of urban development, and constantly write a new chapter in high-quality development.

Dialogue with Kung Fu Panda 3： How Hollywood Plays Chinese Style

　 　 Special feature of 1905 film network Compared with many Hollywood film companies that have only recently begun to lay out the China market, DreamWorks animation is undoubtedly in the forefront. Relying on the power of "Meng Shen" Po, the Kung Fu Panda series has been a great success in China, and the first two episodes have successively won the box office champion of the inland film history animated film. The recognition of China fans gave DreamWorks great encouragement and confidence, and filmmakers from Hollywood began to explore and study the strange and distant China culture more seriously.

　

　 　 The good foundation laid by the previous work has given DreamWorks the best opportunity to start in-depth cooperation with China. It is natural to establish Oriental DreamWorks and work together to create Kung Fu Panda 3. On January 29th, the film officially landed in the mainland cinema to meet the audience. What kind of cultural exploration has Kung Fu Panda 3 gone through from the Hollywood animation to the Sino-American co-production? To this end, we talked with Jennifer Yuh and Alessandro, directors of the film, Jeffrey Kasenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, and Jack Black and kate hudson, who voiced the protagonists "Po" and "Meimei", and listened to them tell us their feelings about participating in the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3 from the perspective of Hollywood filmmakers.

　

Director: Creating Kung Fu Panda 3 has a stressful culture that depends on good story expression.

　

　 　 Director Jennifer Yuh has made great contributions to the Kung Fu Panda series today. From participating in animation production to acting as a film director, she has obviously become the soul behind the role of Po and the whole story. During the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3, Jennifer also invited her former partner Alessandro to continue another adventure of Po with her.

　

　 　 With the great success of Kung Fu Panda series in the world, Po and his friends are getting more and more attention and love from fans, which makes the two directors feel invisible pressure slowly. However, as the "people who know Po and Kung Fu Panda best" in the world, they still have unlimited imagination when creating. Through a deeper understanding of China, Jennifer and Alessandro also showed more elements of China culture to audiences all over the world in Kung Fu Panda 3.

　

　 　 Many people have expressed their curiosity to them: As Hollywood filmmakers, how did you successfully integrate the eastern and western cultures into your works? Naturally, it took nearly 10 years for the Kung Fu Panda series to gradually mature. However, Jennifer and Alessandro always believe that in order for fans from different countries and regions to accept and understand the culture in the film, it is not necessary for the creator to forcibly add any elements or symbols. As long as the character and his experience are attractive enough, the audience will naturally find resonance with the film.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: After so many years, is it easier or more challenging for you to create Kung Fu Panda now?

　

　 　 Jennifer: It must be more difficult. Because the audience who like Kung Fu Panda series now have their own ideas about the characters, we must create more and more exciting and interesting stories to meet their expectations. It is natural for creators to feel some pressure.

　

　 　 Alessandro: That’s it. Because at the beginning of the Kung Fu Panda project, all we need to consider is how to create a character like Po, but now he is a beloved character, so the creator must be more cautious and not act rashly to influence the character itself.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: So now you will definitely have a deeper consideration when creating the whole story of Po and Kung Fu Panda.

　

　 　 Alessandro: Yes, you can say that. In the first episode of Kung Fu Panda, Jennifer and I conceived the image of Po together, and then Jennifer finished Kung Fu Panda 2 as a director. This time, she invited me back to participate in the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3, precisely because we both know Po best.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Did you expect Kung Fu Panda to be very popular in China? Have you ever thought about the reason?

　

　 　 Jennifer: I think Po played a big role in this. China audiences like the role of Po, not only because he will have many funny and pleasing performances in the film, but also because he brings a cultural resonance, which enables the cultural and historical elements in Kung Fu Panda to be better expressed. We try our best to make all the cultural details authentic in our creation. I think this is also the reason why China audiences have a sense of identity with Kung Fu Panda.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Will the success of the previous work make the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3 stressful this time?

　

　 　 Alessandro: There will definitely be pressure, but compared with the previous two Kung Fu Panda movies, when all the lessons about China’s history and culture needed to be explored by ourselves, this time we finally found a local team in China as a partner. So we don’t have to worry about whether the content in our works is true enough, because our partners in China have already told us the exact answer, which has greatly helped us to further improve our works and make the Kung Fu Panda series even better.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: You were also invited to visit the panda base in Sichuan. What influence did this have on your creation?

　

　 　 Alessandro: She even hugged the panda herself!

　

　 　 Jennifer: I hugged the baby panda myself, about this big. I must say it’s a great honor. The panda babies are really as cute as you think! However, in the process, I also paid attention to and felt their hair. In fact, it was not as soft as I thought, and it was a bit tied. In addition, I also observed their habits. They really love to sleep, and they like to roll around like balls. This visit brought us a lot of inspiration in the creation of Kung Fu Panda 3, which is why we added the role of panda baby in the film. Moreover, we also observed many aspects of their daily life and play, for example, they like to roll down the hillside. We added all these findings to the film.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Kung Fu Panda 3 has more elements of China traditional culture, such as Qi and Fairy World. Are these concepts easy for you to understand? How do you use these in your creation? )

　

　 　 Jennifer: We really did a lot of homework and conducted a lot of research on history and culture with many professionals. It is also because Kung Fu Panda 3 is a real co-production film, and we have the opportunity to really talk face to face with the Qigong master and listen to him talk about what "Qi" and "Qigong" are and how one person steals this Qi from another. So these inspirations helped us conceive such a story, and finally the choice made by Po ensured that the story of Kung Fu Panda 3 would be unique and interesting. In addition, there are many details in the film that are based on the legend of "Fairyland" in China. For example, we specially went to Qingcheng Mountain, photographed every scene and used them in the scene of Panda Village. In this way, when the audience sees the Panda Village, they will naturally feel the feeling of being on cloud nine.

　

　 　 Alessandro: Many people in China will ask me, the cultural concept in Kung Fu Panda 3 is unique to China. How can you understand it as a foreigner? But in fact, I think if you follow the characters into the story, in fact, these concepts become common. For example, the concept of "Qi" is not very easy to understand, but it is easy to be accepted if you use kung fu and show it by two characters fighting for each other. The China culture added in Kung Fu Panda 3 is not a simple and direct concept to the audience, but something unique to China is integrated into the story to explain it to the audience. Therefore, even foreign audiences can easily find resonance in the Kung Fu Panda series.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: For example, Master Tortoise wrote the word "Qi" on the screen at the beginning of the movie. Can foreign audiences Get this point?

　

　 　 Jennifer: Some points in the film are specially designed for the audience in China, and there are many connotations that only the audience in China can understand. But I believe these will make the film more interesting. For example, the word "Qi" seems to have written a beautiful and meaningful pattern for foreign audiences, and China audiences will recognize the meaning of the word after seeing it. A similar example is the resurrected zombie, which was inspired by China’s ink painting. For the audience in China, they can know what kind of history and culture it contains, while the foreign audience will find it really very oriental. So we can say that these contents are extra surprises for the audience in China.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Kung Fu Panda, as a Hollywood film, has been very successful in integrating Chinese and Western cultures. Do you have any experience to share?

　

　 　 Alessandro: As I said before, all the elements in Kung Fu Panda are displayed with the characters’ every move. We try to avoid making a film that simply mixes Chinese and Western styles, but focus on shaping the characters. Kung Fu Panda is an experience and a journey for Po. Everything becomes very simple from his point of view, because the world he lives in in the film is a unique world that has integrated Chinese and western cultures, and what we need to show is Po’s living state.

　

　 　 Jennifer: Besides, I think animated film is also a very unique art, because in the animated world, everything is possible, which can help the audience realize anything that is impossible in reality. For example, we have created a panda who can play kung fu, and animated film is a product of fantasy. For example, if we see the cultural elements with aesthetic feeling, we can join in our works, so that the audience can get in touch with some things that they can’t experience personally. I also think that animated films are a very good way to spread different cultures to audiences everywhere.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Many China animators find it difficult to tell a story that resonates all over the world. Do you have similar feelings in your creation?

　

　 　 Jennifer: The process of creating Kung Fu Panda is very difficult. Every step is very difficult (laughs). But I think if you have a story clue that is suitable for everyone, such as the story about family and the story about family members helping each other succeed, then I believe that no matter where you go, everyone can understand the meaning you want to express. Or you can write a story about exploring and finding personal value and discussing the meaning of life, which is also a theme that everyone can understand. Then you add the elements needed for animation with these story clues as the core, and the audience will naturally be attracted to them. Maybe they don’t fully understand the unique time and space where the story is located, but they can understand what the characters want to express. Therefore, in fact, the setting of the story is only the setting, not the most important core. What the audience needs to see and understand is what the character itself wants to express.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: There are many new characters in Kung Fu Panda 3. Will they play a greater role in future new stories?

　

　 　 Alessandro: We have no plans for Kung fu panda 4 yet! Once again, we only focus on the creation of the previous trilogy, and we hope to make everyone very satisfied with the quality and effect of the work as much as possible. In the process, we were also inspired by many viewers. For example, after the first episode, someone asked: What kind of story is there between Po and his biological parents? So Jennifer designed a story to answer this question when she created the sequel. At the end, we also left a foreshadowing to tell everyone that Po is not the only panda left in the world. So fans began to guess again: Wow, so Po is going to find his real father, and will they meet again? In this way, the story of Kung Fu Panda 3 appeared again. Throughout the process, we just want to bring you a complete story and make fans happy. Maybe after this episode is released, everyone will put forward new ideas, and then we can see how to create stories to answer your doubts.

C16 listed, zero run reinvestment ＂cost-effective＂

Text |connected mobility　Xiong Chaoge

Editing | Pony

Walking on the road of cost performance, the zero-run car is "full of determination".

On June 28th, Zero Run C16 was officially launched. This model is positioned as a medium and large SUV within 200,000 yuan, and is equipped with many configurations that are not lost to high-end models, which has triggered heated discussions in the industry.

After tasting the sales sweetness brought by the 2023 C11, Zero Run no longer adheres to the slogan of "exceeding Tesla", but positions itself as the "Uniqlo" of the automotive industry.

On the other hand, the gross profit margin of Zero Run in 2023 has just turned positive, and it has fallen back to negative figures in the fierce price war competition in the first quarter. NIO MONA, Xiaopeng Ledao and other sub-brands have joined the battlefield, and BYD in the mid- and low-end market is still pushing the price to roll in, and the pressure of Zero Run is not small.

Recently, it has been reported that Zhang Weili, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Zero Run Auto, will leave. In the past six months, Zeng Lintang, Wu Baojun and other senior executives of Zero Run Auto have left. With the reform of Zero Run’s marketing system, Zero Run adjusts its combat effectiveness in the midst of market changes.

At present, Zero Run is focusing on "large rolls and special rolls" at the price of 150,000 yuan, and has released 4 series models and product layout plans for the next 3 years in one breath.

What will this help Zero Run achieve in 2024?

1. With more than 100,000 cars, the investment in zero running is very large?

Looking back at the Zero Run C16 that has not been listed for a long time. This smart 6-seat medium and large SUV includes two power modes of pure electricity and range extension, three versions of smart enjoyment, exclusive enjoyment and smart driving, a total of 6 models, and the listing guide price is 15.68~ 185,800 yuan, that is, the top match does not exceed 200,000.

Zero Run C16 price chart, picture source Zero Run Car official website

Combined with the price range, Zero Run’s investment in this model is considerable.

In terms of spatial layout, the C16’s body size is 4915 * 1905 * 1770mm, which is up to the standard line of medium and large SUVs. In the 2 + 2 + 2 seat layout, it is equipped with a 14.6-inch central control screen, a 15.6-inch rear entertainment screen, a 21-speaker stereo, and a three-temperature zone independent air conditioner.

On the smart cockpit, the C16 uses a smart cockpit based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295P chip, with AI computing power reaching 30 TOPS.

On the power battery, the C16 pure electric version uses a global 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform, with 800V fast charging from 30% to 80% for the fastest 15 minutes. It also provides a 215kW drive motor, equipped with a 67.7kWh battery, and the CLTC pure electric battery life reaches 520km. The C16 extended range version uses a new generation of range extender, equipped with a 28.4kWh battery. The CLTC pure electric battery life is 200km, and the CLTC comprehensive operating conditions range reaches 1095km.

Intelligent driving configuration, C16 is equipped with NVIDIA Orin-X chip, Hesai laser radar, and 8 million pixel camera and other 30 sensing hardware, the vehicle computing power reaches 2048TOPS, to achieve urban NAC navigation auxiliary cruise, high-speed, urban expressway intelligent pilot NAP;

In addition, in the car purchase rights and interests, zero run also gives the vehicle lifetime quality assurance, three electricity lifetime quality assurance, 5,000 yuan optional package voucher, 5,000 yuan subsidy, 5,000 yuan discount, 3680 yuan worth of charging pile installation and other discounts.

In other words, the price of 161,800 C16 Smart Enjoy pure electric version, for the pre-order activities of 1,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan before the listing, and the zero-run owners who have replacement needs, only 157,800 yuan can complete the selection and landing.

From the price to the configuration, to the promotion activities, the Zero Run C16 feels like a "price butcher". From the market feedback, this model does show the same signs of explosion as the Zero Run C11. Within 48 hours of listing, the Zero Run C16 has been ordered to be 5,208 units. Previously, Zero Run officials had expected that the C16 will be delivered in July about 2,000 units, and in August more than 5,000 units will be delivered in batches.

With so much investment in a 100,000-plus model, what is Zero Running up to?

"C16 selects top BBA suppliers, which not only sets the price down, but also provides better materials and experience." Zhu Jiangming, founder, chairperson and CEO of Zero Run, said at the C16 launch that Zero Run’s goal is to become the "Uniqlo" of the automotive industry and adhere to the route of low price and high matching.

In 2021, when Zero Run opened the "2.0 era", Zhu Jiangming had set ambitious goals such as "surpassing Tesla in three years" and "the top three in new power car manufacturing", but in recent years it has become more and more realistic – starting from the best-selling of the C series models in 2023, low-cost and high-end models have become the main label of Zero Run.

In 2023, the previous sales force of the Zero Run T03 gradually declined in the fierce competition of the minicar, while the sales share of the Zero Run C series jumped from 44.3% in 2022 to over 73%.

Compared with tens of thousands of yuan of T03, C11, which opens the 15 yuan market, will send Zero Run to a stage with more room to play, and Zero Run has the opportunity to implement more high-end technologies in the product, thus completing the Uniqlo-style "flat replacement".

In March this year, Zero Run released the "2024 New Product Family Bucket", launching the first C10 and 2024 versions of T03, C11, and C01.

Zero Run "2024 New Product Family Bucket" tweet, picture source Zero Run Car official WeChat official account

Taking the main sales model C11 as an example, the 2024 new C11 is equipped with leaf 3.0 vehicle architecture, Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295P cockpit, FSD variable damping shock absorber, NVIDIA Orin-X chip and many other upgrades, which are placed on the new C11 model with the whole series instead of the top, and the starting price is only 148,800 yuan. Compared with the new C16, it is not difficult to see that the zero-run is a strategy to achieve low-cost and high-end, and basically takes out "all the belongings".

However, in the red sea of price wars, the road to low prices and high matching requires great determination and investment.

2. To break through the encirclement, it still depends on "cost performance"

On the road to "cost performance" of Zero Run, Zero Run C11 is an indispensable product.

At the market end, the main sales model of Zero Run completed the "succession" from T03 to C11, and with the help of this model, the delivery volume of Zero Run in 2023 reached a record high of 144,155 vehicles, ranking among the top three sales of new forces, and achieving a positive gross profit margin of 1.2% in the third quarter of 2023, and then a positive gross profit margin of 0.5% for the whole year.

Zero Run 2024 T11, picture source Zero Run Car official website

The Zero Run C11 once sold more than 10,000 yuan, becoming the sales champion of medium-sized new energy SUVs in the range of 15-200,000 yuan in 2023, accounting for 56% of Zero Run’s sales that year. In the annual report, Zhu Jiangming concluded: "We redefine the selection criteria for new energy vehicles in the RMB 150,000-200,000 yuan level."

Previously, Zhu Jiangming said that in the future, Zero Run will deeply cultivate models of more than 150,000 yuan, and strive to sell 30,000 vehicles per month. In 2025, the first product of the A series with a price of 100,000 yuan will be listed, and 3 B series models in the range of 100,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan will be listed. In 2026, Zero Run will launch 3 models of the D series 200,000 yuan.

From the product layout, the 150,000 yuan is the "anchor point" of the zero-run car in the low-end market. The first stop is the current C series focusing on the price segment of 150,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, while the A, B, and D series models are respectively arranged at both ends of the price segment.

At present, from the layout of the model, with the C11 as the stepping stone, the main strategy of Zero Run has been fully transferred to "cost performance", challenging the product positioning of high-end models.

In addition to the intelligent pure electric minicar T03 and the intelligent sedan C01, Zero Run’s main sales products are concentrated in the SUV, a new energy must-compete model, including two medium-sized SUV products C10 and C11, and a medium-sized and large SUV product C16, which are mostly similar to the ideal L6, L7, L8, and Qjie M7 and M9.

In the face of netizens’ ridicule of C16 "ideal flat replacement" and "half-price ideal L8", Zhu Jiangming responded to the media that Zero Run did not mind this statement. "Users who are used to buying Chanel occasionally buy Uniqlo and buy products like C16. After using it, they find that it is the same, and they may become loyal fans of Zero Run."

In the first quarter of this year, Zero Run Auto recorded revenue of 3.486 billion yuan, an increase of 141.7% year-on-year, and net loss narrowed to 1.013 billion yuan, a decrease of 10.59% year-on-year. In addition, as of the end of the first quarter, Zero Run cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, financial assets at fair value into profit and loss and bank time deposits totaled 17.584 billion yuan.

But in the fierce price war of the industry, Zero Run launched many promotional activities, and the gross profit margin fell back to negative -1.4% again. This means that Zero Run, which has accumulated sales of 33,400 vehicles in the first three months, lost an average of 1,460 yuan for each one sold, and accidentally slipped off the "wire" and returned to the situation of "selling more and losing more".

But for the price war, Zero Run is already mentally prepared. Zhu Jiangming said that "the market is mature, and it is unrealistic for everyone not to fight a price war." He believes that the price war will continue for three years, the competition will remain fierce, and the process of new energy vehicles will be completed in three years. At that time, pure fuel vehicles will account for less than 10%. During this period, new energy vehicle companies will fully compete and seize positions.

In the red ocean of price involution, cost performance is the main focus, which means that how to balance costs will be a long-term proposition for zero runs.

3. Cost control will be a long-term problem for zero running

After 2023, when the strategy is gradually clear, Zero Run gradually focuses on "cost control".

In 2024, Zero Run officially proposed a sales target of 250,000 to 300,000, and it is expected to achieve profitability by the end of 2025 and early 2026. Before that, around the cost, Zero Run cars need to continue to withstand two tests.

First, increase sales. In 2023, Zero Run failed to meet 200,000 sales target. In the first half of 2024, Zero Run accumulated sales of 66,500 vehicles in the first five months, and in June it ushered in the outbreak, delivering 20116 vehicles, breaking through 20,000 sales for the first time, but overall, Zero Run sold 86,696 units in the first half of the year, only completing the annual sales target of about 35%. Zero Run’s sales volume is not low among its peers, but the strategy of focusing on small profits but quick turnover makes it particularly need sales scale.

Second, to further reduce costs. To achieve the route of low price and high matching, Zero Run must allow its own products to have cost advantages while benchmarking with competitors in exchange for price and configuration. At present, Zero Run relies on global self-research, making the product self-made rate exceed 70%, of which more than 60% of the core parts of the vehicle cost are self-developed. Zhu Jiangming previously said that the three rounds of technical cost reduction that Zero Run has completed will reach 40% in 2023, and it is entering the fourth round of cost reduction cycle.

In fact, the increase in the scale of sales, zero running can get more in the production and manufacturing has the voice over, and reducing costs means directly improving the competitiveness of products.

In an interview with Late Auto, Zhu Jiangming said of sales and costs, "At this stage, the annual sales 500,000 can survive, 1 million have stronger vitality, and the best way to live is more than 3 million". When the scale is large enough, the advantages of refined management will appear. He said that Zero Run paid attention to the cost issue when it launched the C11, and used cost optimization to set more convincing prices for all models in March last year, which promoted sales to rise all the way.

Zero Run Auto’s financial summary in the past five years, picture source Zero Run Auto’s 2023 financial report

In the past five years, Zero Run has lost more than 14 billion yuan. Under the background that the stock price of Hong Kong stocks has been declining and has not yet risen back to the issue price, Zero Run Auto must face the next challenges cautiously. Now, in addition to products, Zero Run is also constantly seeking reforms and opportunities.

On the one hand, Zero Run is reforming its marketing system and further deploying the lower-tier market. In May, Zero Run merged its three original sales departments into a "sales department", and plans to increase the number of lower-tier market outlets from more than 500 to 800. It will open a 4S store in the Motor City, using the "1 + N" model of many display stores in the surrounding area of the 4S store to cover cities without outlets.

On the other hand, Zero Run’s overseas cooperation with Stellantis is progressing steadily. In May this year, Zero Run and Stellantis joint venture Zero Run International were officially established. It plans to land in 9 European countries in September. It will enter India and Asia Pacific (excluding Greater China), the Middle East and Africa, and South America from the Q4 quarter. It will cover major markets outside North America within a year. In the asset-light model that is not responsible for marketing and production, Zero Run is expected to obtain a healthy cash flow.

On the one hand, it covers the product layout planning for the next three years, and on the other hand, it strives to reduce costs and seek to go overseas. The ambition of Zero Run is fully demonstrated. Low price and high matching is a sharp blade with pressure. How effective it can be depends on the specific operation of Zero Run this year.
