  Encounter cold

  In the first half of the year, national lottery sales fell first.

  Lottery sales were cold this year. From January to June, the national lottery sales totaled 212.596 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 32.602 billion yuan or 13.3%. Among them, the sales of welfare lottery institutions was 97.757 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.838 billion yuan or 11.6%; The sales of sports lottery institutions reached 114.839 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.764 billion yuan or 14.7%.

  The reporter combed 2010 — The lottery sales data in the first half of the decade in 2019 found that this was the first time that there was a year-on-year decline.

  Judging from the monthly data, in June this year, the country sold a total of 34.767 billion yuan of lottery tickets, down 40.7% from the same period of last year. The year-on-year decline was mainly due to the large sales of quiz lottery games in the World Cup in June 2018, with a high base in the same period last year. In the first half of 2018, lottery sales increased by as much as 19.6%.

  Looking back on the lottery market in the past ten years, from 2010 to 2012, it experienced a double-digit rapid growth period, and then the growth rate gradually decreased to single digits, and negative growth occurred for the first time in the first half of 2019.

  The data shows that from 2010 to the first half of 2012, the national lottery sales maintained a rapid growth of more than 20%, which was a period of rapid growth of China’s lottery market; In 2013 and 2014, the growth rate of national lottery sales fell below 20%; From 2015 to the first half of 2017, the growth rate of national lottery sales dropped significantly, only 5.2%, 3.5% and 5.5% respectively.

  Where do people prefer to buy lottery tickets when lottery sales are relatively low? Geographically, data from the Ministry of Finance show that in June, compared with the same period of last year, lottery sales in 31 provinces all declined. However, from the cumulative data in the first half of the year, compared with the same period of last year, lottery sales in five provinces increased, namely Sichuan, Shanghai, Henan, Anhui and Beijing, with year-on-year increases of 1.681 billion yuan, 234 million yuan, 190 million yuan, 172 million yuan and 45 million yuan respectively. As far as the overall sales volume in the first half of the year is concerned, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang and Henan rank among the top five in the country.

  cause

  Strengthen the supervision of high-frequency fast-opening games

  Why did lottery sales decline in the first half of this year? An expert in the lottery industry told reporters that at the beginning of this year, in order to regulate the lottery market, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments strengthened the supervision of high-frequency quick-opening games and quiz games, extended the sales time of high-frequency quick-opening games and reduced the number of lottery games.

  High-frequency fast-opening games mainly complete the process from sales to lottery every few minutes or ten minutes through electronic equipment.

  The data shows that in 2017, the share of Fucai quick-opening games in the total sales of Fucai reached 40%. In that year, the total sales volume of national welfare lottery was 216.977 billion yuan, of which the sales of quick-opening games was 87.522 billion yuan.

  A lottery player told reporters: "The number of high-frequency fast-opening games is small, there are many awards, and the lottery is frequent. Many domestic lottery buyers are speculative when buying high-frequency fast-opening games, and some lottery buyers can play all day and easily lose their minds."

  The reporter noted that in January this year, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General Administration of Sports issued a notice to adjust the rules of high-frequency fast-opening lottery games and quiz lottery games, and strengthen the supervision of the lottery market. According to the notice, in recent years, China’s lottery industry has generally shown a sustained and healthy development trend. At the same time, there are still irrational lottery buying phenomena in the lottery market, such as unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets and large bets. In particular, the market supervision of welfare lottery quick-opening games, sports lottery high-frequency games and sports lottery national online single-game quiz games needs to be strengthened. The notice is clear. From February 11th, if the sales time of high-frequency quick-start games is shorter than 20 minutes, it will be adjusted to 20 minutes.

  Since 2019, the number of contests and events for the annual quiz game shall not be higher than 70% of the number of contests and events for sale in 2018. The aforementioned experts also pointed out to reporters that the main reason is that there was a World Cup in June 2018. At that time, the sales volume of lottery was particularly large, and the sales volume of sports lottery was also particularly large. However, there were no important sports events in June this year. The sharp decline in sports lottery sales in June was an important factor in the decline in lottery sales in the first half of the year.

  Ban on sale

  Internet lottery is banned.

  The ban on selling lottery tickets on the Internet has also had an impact on lottery sales. The reporter noted that in August 2018, the Ministry of Finance and other 12 departments jointly issued a document resolutely prohibiting the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets.

  Internet lottery had previously shown a blowout growth trend in 2014. The huge sales volume of nearly 100 billion yuan makes internet lottery purchase an important force to promote the development of lottery market.

  In 2014, Internet lottery experienced a glorious period. Major sports events, including the World Cup in Brazil, boosted the sales of Internet lottery by 102% from 42 billion yuan in 2013 to 85 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total lottery sales. According to the Analysis Report of Internet Lottery Market in 2014, there were more than 100 million users in China who bought lottery tickets through Internet channels, and the Internet became an important betting platform and channel for users.

  Since then, since 2015, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have repeatedly issued a document to prohibit the sale of lottery tickets through Internet channels. However, during the 2018 World Cup, a large number of mobile apps illegally sold lottery tickets through the Internet.

  At that time, there were many fish that escaped from the net without being investigated. According to media reports, some apps have stopped selling lottery tickets through the search of "lottery tickets" in Android and Apple mobile phone stores, but there are still many softwares that can buy lottery tickets. In the early days of the World Cup last year, many companies launched online lottery platforms again. Finally, many online football lottery platforms such as "Winning the lottery every day" and "Everyone Winning the lottery" stopped selling on June 20 last year.

  reform

  Standardize the management of welfare lottery issuance

  The corruption case of Fucai Center exposed last year aroused social concern. On November 9, 2018, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published a heavy article: "Pay equal attention to reduction and suppression, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, rebuild the credibility of Fucai, and the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the Ministry of Civil Affairs will promote the formation of a good political ecology from typical cases", with more than 4,000 words, and released confession videos of four former leaders of China Welfare Lottery Issuance Management Center.

  Statistics show that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at least 14 people in the civil affairs system have been held accountable for issues related to welfare lottery. Fucai’s anti-corruption has a long time span and a wide range, and has become a case of systematic corruption. In addition to the four leading characters in the confession video published on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, four members of the party group, including Li Liguo, former Minister of Civil Affairs, Dou Yupei, former head of the discipline inspection team in the Ministry, Qu Shuhui and Chen Chuanshu, former president of the China Aging Association, were held accountable.

  After the corruption case of Welfare Lottery, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has improved the management system of welfare lottery issuance, sales, distribution and use of public welfare funds, such as changes in the internal institutions in charge of welfare lottery management.

  According to the Regulations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Functional Allocation, Internal Organizations and Staffing, before the reform, the management of welfare lottery was in charge of the Department of Social Welfare and Charity Promotion; After the reform, the welfare lottery management has been refined, and the planning and finance department and the newly established charity promotion and social work department are in charge.

  On July 29, the Ministry of Civil Affairs held a press conference, and the relevant person in charge introduced that there are three main reform directions in regulating the issuance and management of welfare lottery tickets. First, cooperate with the Ministry of Finance, comprehensively rectify the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell welfare lottery tickets, and comprehensively carry out self-examination and inspection of national welfare lottery institutions and consignment agents. Second, vigorously adjust the rules of the quick opening game of welfare lottery to resolve the market risks of welfare lottery. The third is to improve the welfare lottery issuance management system.

Extreme krypton delisting is just around the corner, turn around and hug Geely’s thigh.

Produce a tiger sniffing car group

Author Xiao Man

Toutu, vision china

From brand release to IPO, it took 37 months; It takes less than 12 months from listing to planned delisting.

 

On May 7th, Geely Automobile Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Geely Automobile") announced that it planned to acquire all the issued shares of Extreme Krypton Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Extreme Krypton"), and the suggested purchase price was $2.57 per extreme Krypton share or $25.66 per American Depositary Share.

 

Geely Automobile currently holds about 65.7% of the shares of Extreme Krypton. If the transaction is completed, Extreme Krypton will be completely merged with Geely Automobile, and Extreme Krypton will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely Automobile, privatize and delist from the NYSE.

 

Quitting from the market and returning to Geely is the strategic need to implement "One Geely" and the key to help Kykrypton with blood transfusion.

"One Geely" is imperative.

The acquisition of Krypton is a continuation of Geely’s strategic integration.

 

Geely explained that Geely Automobile’s acquisition of Krypton is "an important step to further implement the Taizhou Declaration, focus on the main automobile industry, improve the efficiency of resource utilization and deepen brand collaboration", which can promote the deep integration and efficient collaboration of internal resources, eliminate repeated investment, reduce costs and improve the competitiveness of enterprises.

 

Since the publication of Taizhou Declaration, Geely has carried out a number of business integration adjustments. In November 2024, it adjusted and optimized the shareholding structure of Krypton and Lectra-Krypton invested 9 billion yuan to acquire 50% equity of Lectra, and Krypton invested 367 million yuan to subscribe for the newly-increased registered capital of Lectra, making Lectra a non-wholly-owned subsidiary. The equity delivery took only three months. In February this year, Extreme Krypton Technology Group was established, forming a business positioning division of "extreme Krypton is upward, and the leader is wide".

 

The planned acquisition of Kykrypton will further promote Kykrypton Technology Group to gather in Geely as the center and deepen the strategic focus of "One Geely".

 

This integration focuses more on the focus of the business layer. On the technical level, "one Geely" is already very obvious. In March of this year, Geely announced that it would unify the all-brand line intelligent driving scheme into a "thousands of miles" system, and unified the intelligent driving scheme and technical route.

 

Geely has tasted the advantages and sweetness of integration. An Conghui once said that after the merger of Link and Krypton brand, R&D investment is expected to decrease by 10%-20%, supply chain cost will decrease by 5%-8% due to scale effect, and capacity utilization will increase by 3%-5%.

Help krypton transfusion

There are quite realistic considerations behind Krypton’s plan to withdraw from the US stock market.

 

A market analyst told Tiger Smell Automobile: "It is extremely short of money. At present, the market value is low and the liquidity is poor. It is difficult to further dilute the financing. Geely privatized it, and it is extremely difficult to continue to cope with market competition."

 

Krypton has been mired in the whirlpool of losses. From 2021 to 2024, the net loss of krypton was 4.514 billion yuan, 7.655 billion yuan, 8.264 billion yuan and 5.79 billion yuan respectively, which has reached 26.223 billion yuan.

 

In order to finance and maintain operations, the valuation of Krypton was almost halved when it went public-the valuation of Krypton in the previous round of listing had reached 13 billion US dollars, while the market value at IPO was only 5.2 billion US dollars, shrinking by nearly 60%.

 

The shareholders of Krypton are unwilling to sell too many shares at a discount of 60%, which leads to the limited number of tradable shares that Krypton can issue when it goes public and does not raise enough money. Krypton originally planned to raise $1 billion, but in the end it only raised less than $500 million.

 

After the listing, the market value of Krypton did not rise back to the level of A-round financing, which means that if Krypton wants to continue financing, its shareholders must accept the discount.

 

There are only two solutions to this situation. One is to make the market value of krypton rise to a price that shareholders can make money. The other is that Geely will pay for privatization. Geely chose the latter to be able to transfuse blood for krypton more quickly.

 

Under the dual-brand strategy of "Extreme Krypton Car+Link Car", extreme Krypton needs to increase investment. According to the plan, Lectra will launch two brand-new models this year (one of which is the six-seat SUV Lectra 900) and three brand-new models will be launched in the second, third and fourth quarters of this year. Among them, the luxury hunting wagon 007GT was released in the second quarter, the full-size flagship SUV was released in the third quarter, and the large luxury SUV was released in the fourth quarter.

 

The overseas market is also in the expansion stage. Linksys and Krypton plan to build more than 200 stores overseas. Linksys 08 EM-P and Krypton’s first "800-volt global car" will be officially launched overseas.

 

Extreme Krypton Technology Group plans to sell 710,000 vehicles this year. To achieve this goal, these measures and inputs are necessary conditions. However, in the face of continuous losses and the dilemma of capital market financing, Extreme Krypton will only have enough bullets to cope with market competition if it returns to Geely’s system.

Eat less three kinds of food and eat more four kinds of food after the sun rises!

  When infected with COVID-19, we should pay attention to light diet and avoid eating properly, especially the following three kinds of food. When infected with COVID-19, it is best to eat less or not.

  1. High-salt food

  High concentration of salt can inhibit the activity of respiratory cells, inhibit their disease resistance, at the same time, it can also reduce saliva, reduce lysozyme in the mouth, and increase the chance of virus and bacteria infection in the upper respiratory tract.

  When infected with COVID-19, you should eat less salt, and the average adult without diarrhea or profuse sweating should be controlled within 5g every day, which will help to increase the content of lysozyme in saliva and help the body to secrete more immunoglobulin A and interferon to deal with Covid-19.

  2. Spicy food

  During illness, many people’s digestive function will weaken. At this time, too spicy and irritating food will make the already messy gastrointestinal function more disordered, and even cause the risk of nausea and vomiting.

  In addition, COVID-19 is often accompanied by sore throat. For people who are intolerant of spicy food, spicy food will also stimulate the pharynx and aggravate the discomfort of the pharynx.

  3. indigestible food

  After being infected with COVID-19, many people have weak gastric motility. Eating too much food with high dietary fiber content will increase the burden on the stomach and even cause vomiting. At this time, you should eat less foods such as konjac, celery, leek, chrysanthemum, sweet potato, etc. In addition, you should eat as little or not as much as possible, such as uncooked miscellaneous beans and chewy beef and mutton pieces.

  So, during the period of COVID-19 infection, which diets are helpful to relieve the illness?

  1. 2000 ml of water every day

  The World Health Organization suggested that COVID-19 should be replenished with enough water during the positive period, and a small amount of water should be injected several times throughout the day.

  Usually, the average adult can drink 1500-1700 ml of water every day. If there are no special drinking taboos (such as heart and kidney problems), for the average adult, when infected with COVID-19, the amount of water should be more than usual, reaching 2000 ml per day. Ordinary-sized disposable paper cups contain about 200 ml of water.

  Drink more water and urinate more, so that the waste produced by metabolism in the body can be excreted in time, which also helps to dissipate heat. Be careful to drink warm water, not too cold water.

  2. Light soup and porridge

  When sick, people’s gastrointestinal function deteriorates, and light soup and porridge are relatively easy to digest. At the same time, hot soup and porridge can play the role of sweating and accelerate the process of "self-healing". After sweating, we should pay more attention to the supplement of water.

  3. Steamed chicken and fish

  The World Health Organization suggests choosing foods rich in protein, such as beans, fish, eggs and lean meat. When the human body is relatively weak in COVID-19, properly supplementing high-quality protein will help the body recover.

  Chicken and fish contain many kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, and its protein is easy to digest and absorb. Steaming is light and not so greasy, so it is suitable for eating in COVID-19. Be careful not to swallow the fishbone when eating fish.

  4. honey

  Half an hour before going to bed, eat a small spoonful of honey (about 10 grams) in moderation, which will help relieve cough discomfort at night. Pay attention to the fact that babies under one year old can’t eat honey.

Don’t let the blind road become a "busy" road

Blind road is a road traffic infrastructure to help visually impaired people walk. However, in real life, the phenomenon that blind roads are occupied is common, so people with visual impairment often encounter it is hard to go.

What is the crux of it is hard to go’s pain caused by the occupation of blind roads and visually impaired people? How to break the game?

(1)

Blind roads have a history of more than 200 years. The world’s first blind road can be traced back to the early 19th century, designed by a French designer, and it is a kind of pavement that is convenient for the blind to walk.

The first blind road in China was born in Beijing in 1991, with an area of 1,600 square meters. At that time, it was for the convenience of more than 200 blind workers in Haidian Rubber Hardware Factory. Before this, there was an accident that caused quite a stir: because there was no one to lead the way and there was no blind road to "navigate", a blind masseur accidentally fell into a sewage well being excavated on his way home and almost died.

After more than 30 years of development, the blind road has become a necessary item in urban road traffic construction in China. Generally, whenever there is a sidewalk, there is a blind road, but it is obvious to all that it is rarely used by visually impaired people. Is it because there are few visually impaired people? According to the data of the seventh national census, the number of blind people in China has exceeded 17.3 million. According to the latest statistics of Huizhou Disabled Persons’ Federation, there are currently 4,334 people with visual disabilities in the city.

There are almost no visually impaired people on the road, and the blind roads are basically idle all the year round. Cao Yang, chairman of the Municipal Association for the Blind, gave the answer: A considerable number of visually impaired people in Huizhou don’t go out at ordinary times, not because they are unwilling, but because they dare not. One of the main reasons is that the blind roads are occupied and they are worried that they will be knocked or tripped when they go out.

(2)

At the end of last year, Huizhou Daily’s video number "People’s Livelihood Eye" reported the problem of "enclosing and occupying blind roads" at a construction site in Jiangbei, which aroused widespread concern and brought the topic of "occupied blind roads" into public view again.

In cities, similar blind roads are frequently occupied, and the ways of occupation are varied: for example, the blind roads are occupied by motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, some construction fences occupy the blind roads, and some facilities are directly built on the blind roads. In addition, the out-of-store business, mobile vendors and other "empty nests" make the blind roads "busy", which affects the image of urban civilization and makes it more difficult for visually impaired people to travel.

In September 2023, the results of the "Satisfaction Survey on Barrier-free Environment Construction" conducted by the Municipal Disabled Persons’ Federation showed that 77.71% of the respondents thought that the blind road was seriously occupied, 17.08% thought that the blind road was partially occupied, and only 5.21% thought that the blind road was not occupied.

For visually impaired people, the blind road is a "navigator" and a "life road" to guide them to travel safely, and it is also an important bridge for them to integrate into society and live a normal life. No one or unit can illegally occupy it.

The Law on the Construction of Barrier-free Environment in People’s Republic of China (PRC), which came into effect on September 1, 2023, clearly stipulates: "No unit or individual may arbitrarily change the use of barrier-free facilities or illegally occupy or damage barrier-free facilities."

Although there are laws, blind roads are still frequently occupied. The reason is that on the one hand, the utilization rate of blind roads is low, which leads some people to think that blind roads are unnecessary, so occupying blind roads has become the norm; On the other hand, many people lack the awareness of respecting the blind road, covet convenience, place vehicles or occupy the road. In addition, the design of some blind roads is unreasonable, which leads to the blind road not playing its due role; Relevant departments lack supervision and law enforcement, and lack effective punishment and punishment for occupying blind roads.

(3)

The occupation of blind roads reflects the blind spots of urban civilization. Changing the phenomenon that blind roads are occupied requires concerted efforts.

First of all, blind roads should be set up according to law and maintained regularly. Relevant government departments should plan, design and build barrier-free facilities for blind roads in strict accordance with national regulations and standards. Remind and advocate citizens to jointly protect blind roads. While laying blind roads, you can also spray signs such as "No Occupation" at regular intervals and maintain them regularly.

Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and law enforcement. Blind roads are frequently occupied, and a big factor lies in the low cost of violation. Relevant functional departments should earnestly shoulder their supervisory responsibilities, strengthen law enforcement inspections, intensify investigation and exposure of malicious occupation of blind roads, and stop uncivilized behaviors, so as to realize a virtuous circle of dare not occupy, can not occupy and are unwilling to occupy.

At the same time, it is necessary to increase publicity and education on popular science. Relevant functional departments should carry out publicity and education through various channels, improve people’s attention to visually impaired groups and awareness of blind roads, eliminate cognitive "blind areas", and enhance citizens’ consciousness of eliminating the occupation of blind roads.

In addition, we should also be good at using the power of science and technology to solve the problem of blind roads. Relevant functional departments can increase the investment in intelligent blind road facilities, such as blind navigation system and electronic guide blind road, to provide more convenience for visually impaired people to travel; You can also use intelligent monitoring and other technologies to monitor the occupation of blind roads in real time, and deal with the occupation problem as soon as possible, and also provide a smooth and safe blind road for visually impaired people.

I hope that through a multi-pronged approach, blind roads will no longer be crowded out, and visually impaired people will no longer "hinder" travel.
