            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Apple insider, the apple pioneer place retail store in Portland may soon dismantle the steel fence erected after riots and robberies and replace it with transparent polycarbonate panels.</p><p>Since February 2021, the apple store in Portland, Oregon has been protected by a steel fence. At that time, it had been closed for nine months, partly due to the blockade of coronavirus.</p><p>However, after the riots in George Floyd in May 2020, the retail store was also robbed and damaged. Subsequently, during the protest, a fire broke out in the retail store.</p><p>According to Oregon live, apple now plans to replace its tall metal barrier with a “storefront security shell” made of transparent polycarbonate panels. On May 3, 2022, representatives of apple and an unnamed construction company held an online meeting with the downtown Community Association.</p><p>“We were very impressed with this project,” said Walter weller, President of the association. “We are very satisfied with its concept.”</p><p>“We are happy that Apple will stay in that position,” Weyler continued. “And they will expand their investment in that part of our city.”</p><p>It is reported that the proposed polycarbonate structure will surround the store and be placed about 30 inches from the existing glass facade.</p><p>Apple reportedly asked participants not to take photos of the meeting. However, an unnamed participant did take a rendering of apple to show the security appearance after the transformation.</p><p>In addition, apple donated a black lives matter mural painted on the store barricade to the non-profit organization don \’t shoot PDX in 2021.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the saying goes, rare things are more expensive, but shampoo, block floor drains, comb your hair and wrap a broom, and take it off from post-90s to post-60s A good hairline is high. Do you still think it’s “expensive”? A few days ago, there was a hot topic: a hair of 10-25 yuan, a person’s hair is actually worth a house! 2019 is about to pass. How much “money” have you lost in the past year?</p><p>On December 8, the “your hair is worth millions” charity activity jointly organized by Sina Guangxi and Zhenhan hair planting has officially started, and the whole city recruits people with hair loss problems. As soon as the activity went online, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole city, and online and offline registration was popular. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 1000 people have signed up to participate.</p><p>On December 16, an interview about “millions of big orders” was held in Sina Guangxi live studio. Hao Shuai, President of Guangxi hair Association / President of Zhenhan hair planting, gave us an in-depth answer to the “your hair is worth millions” love hair public welfare activity. 930 cousin and Zhenhan Fayou also joined the interview to popularize science and answer questions about hair loss and hair planting.</p><p>Don’t panic when you lose your hair, Zhen Han Zhifa, Dean Hao will give you a move</p><p>In recent years, hair loss has become a hot spot. The population of hair loss in China is very large, more than 250 million, with an average of one in six people losing hair. According to President Hao Shuai, there are many reasons for hair loss, including heredity, high mental pressure, often staying up late and working overtime, postpartum hair loss These are all possible causes of hair loss.</p><p>So how do we judge whether we have hair loss? Dean Hao, let’s focus! If you lose more than 100 hairs every day for three consecutive months, go to the hospital for hair follicle testing. You are already a suspect of hair loss!</p><p>President Hao also answered our misunderstanding about hair loss, “ginger can grow hair”, “wearing a hat for a long time can protect hair”, “drinking milk tea will lose hair” These statements are wrong!!! But on the whole, because the individual’s bad living habits lead to abnormal androgen secretion, or heredity is an important reason for hair loss. As the saying goes, “a mother is bald and a father is bald”. You must see his hair when looking for a boyfriend in the future!</p><p>How much impact does hair transplantation have on people? Just look at this case. In 2016, Zhenhan Zhifa helped Zhikang, a young post-90s painter. When he was a child, he lost an arm due to high-voltage electric shock and left a 5cm scar on his head. In fact, it is very difficult to operate on Zhikang, because the survival rate of scar hair transplantation has always been a difficult problem in the medical community. The hair transplantation operation done by the expert team to Zhikang is very successful, which has greatly exceeded the industry standard for the survival rate of scar hair transplantation. Now Zhikang not only has thick hair, but also has a girlfriend.</p><p>My hair has been saved since I met Dean Hao</p><p>As a well-known radio host, the eldest cousin not only accompanies everyone with voice and humor, but also often takes over some activities and hosts them on site. However, he also has the problem of hair loss in his 30s.</p><p>“Ten years ago, I never thought I would lose my hair, but when I was middle-aged, my hair became less and less and my hairline became higher and higher. Since I met Dean Hao Shuai, my hair has been saved!” Said the eldest cousin.</p><p>Hair planting can not only make your hair thick, but also change your face shape. Through the change of hairline, you can have a better face shape. How do you judge whether your hairline is high? Director Hao said, “generally speaking, the hairline to the center of the eyebrow, the center of the eyebrow to the lower wing of the nose and the lower wing to the tip of the chin should be almost the same, accounting for one-third each. If this condition is met, the hairline is not high”.</p><p>This year, Zhenhan’s new “fue-ns non shaving and hair transplantation” technology is very suitable for people who often attend special occasions such as big cousin. This technology does not shave or cut short. It meets the aesthetic needs of modern people. It can plant thick hair in just a few hours. It is no problem to plant hair in the morning and attend activities in the afternoon!</p><p>The side effects of hair transplantation are delaying retirement</p><p>In fact, many people in Nanning have improved their self-confidence and quality of life through hair transplantation. A very inspirational example, Mr. Wu Wenli, senior engineer of Guangxi construction engineering group, a well-known enterprise in Guangxi, was invited to the live studio.</p><p>Mr. Wu worked in Africa before. The hot living environment caused his scalp injury. After returning home, he faced the problem of hair loss. Hair loss and baldness made him look ten years old, making him more and more anxious about hair loss.</p><p>In the live studio, Mr. Wu also showed you photos before hair transplantation. Compared with those after hair transplantation, netizens in the live studio shouted: “I can’t believe it”. Many people asked whether there would be side effects of hair transplantation. Mr. Wu joked that the side effect of hair transplantation might be that the retirement time would be postponed.</p><p>President Hao has a wish: I hope there is no baldness in the world and everyone is so handsome! In this winter, Zhenhan Zhifa and Sina Guangxi jointly launched the “your hair is worth millions” love hair public welfare activity to find the people troubled by hair loss in the whole city and solve your problem of hair loss and baldness!

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What answer can the national football team hand over this time?</p><p>“At present, the Chinese team has accumulated 4 points in group B. they urgently need 3 points to maintain their weak hope of World Cup promotion.”</p><p>This is a paragraph written by the Australian national team’s official website “Socceroos” in the prospect of tonight’s game.</p><p>At 23 p.m. Beijing time on the 16th, the Chinese national team will enter the second round of the top 12 Asian Games of the 2022 World Cup and face Australia again.</p><p>“The last time we played against China, Australia made a perfect start with a score of 3-0 in September. Although it pushed China aside on its way forward, history shows that this game is still full of tension,” Socceroos said</p><p>“In the past 18 exchanges between the two sides, Australia and China have won 8 games each and drawn 2 times.”</p><p>eureka? Can’t find!</p><p>The first round of the Asian top 12 competition, which makes people feel dissatisfied, is over.</p><p>In fact, looking back, we can find that the Chinese men’s football team got 4 points in five games, which is a result in line with expectations and their own strength.</p><p>We have little chance in the confrontation with powerful opponents.</p><p>Australia, which has entered the world cup for many times, was defeated by the opponent’s better experience and stronger self adaptability.</p><p>In the face of the top Asian overlord Japan team in the past 20 years, the Chinese men’s football team has hardly played any chance and digested 90 minutes in a muddled defense.</p><p>In the face of Vietnam, which clamored to usurp the upper position, although it was tangled and worried, it finally rolled down with its own strength.</p><p>The eagle was stunned by the rabbit for a few minutes, and the rabbit’s chin couldn’t eat the eagle. The Raptor will wake up and eat the meat.</p><p>After drinking the soup from Vietnam, China, with a little confidence, played 2-3 with Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.</p><p>This is the best prepared, best played and most powerful team in group B so far.</p><p>Desert Lord lost only three goals in five games in the first round, two of which were scored by China, which is considered to be weak in attack, but Japan and Australia were all blocked.</p><p>Finally, China ranked 75th in the world and Oman ranked 77th in the world played 1-1. Although there are regrets, considering the objective data, we can only accept it reluctantly.</p><p>4 points is the concrete embodiment of the strength of Chinese football in recent years, and it is also the real positioning of our strength in group B.</p><p>Of course, specific to each game, there is experience worth summing up. When you think about it afterwards, it is indeed clear.</p><p>For example, in the face of Australia, should we attack out regardless of the head and tail and the real gap?</p><p>In the face of low morale and great pressure, should Japan’s Mori Baoyi shrink back so cautiously?</p><p>Li Tie used two games to find that Zhang Yuning is more effective than Exxon as the center; It took three games to find that Luo Guofu, a magical warrior without physical fitness, provides the spiritual attribute that the Chinese team lacks most at present.</p><p>After four games, it was found that Alan might be more suitable to distribute the ball as an offensive fulcrum; It took five games to find out that Xu Xin is the best partner of Wu Xi, the pillar of the midfield team.</p><p>It seems that we have used the five games in the first round to find all our weaknesses and summarize all the advantages of our opponents, so we can play targeted games.</p><p>Anyway, every game is an earthquake on social media for the national team.</p><p>According to Tieshuai, the real earthquake has “experienced several times, and there is nothing terrible.”</p><p>So can we give the kangaroo Legion a shock?</p><p>Yes! Can you do it?</p><p>Australia’s dual national centre back Harry suttar suffered a serious knee injury, so coach Arnold recruited Ryan McGowan, who plays in Kuwait, and Bailey Wright, who plays in Sunderland.</p><p>In contrast, the current lineup of the Chinese team is quite neat.</p><p>After the draw with Oman, Tieshuai said he slept well. He not only praised Xu Xin, but also talked to Alan and Luo Guofu.</p><p>It seems that after the match with Oman, he finally found a password and found the right person for each position.</p><p>“Set a small goal, at least play better than the first game, and fight for every ball in the game to make it difficult for the opponent.”</p><p>This is Li Tie’s original words at the pre match press conference, which is very practical.</p><p>Arnold’s statement is: “I hope the evening of the 16th can end 2021 with excellent performance, so that we can go back and have a happy Christmas.”</p><p>In the past, many coaches who led the team were willing to take the team members to relax, watch movies or drink coffee to adjust the tension in the team.</p><p>When the Chinese men’s football team returned home, I didn’t know whether to watch Changjin lake.</p><p>Just 10 hours before the Australian coach’s press conference, “Changjin Lake” just broke China’s film history record with a box office of 5.6 billion.</p><p>Despite the confusion in the screenwriting of the film, it did not fully show the tenacious will of the people’s volunteers 70 years ago. After spending so much money and accumulating great directors, the excitement of the film is greater than the depth.</p><p>But the blood and sacrifice of everyone shown on the screen are meaningful.</p><p>At that time, marshal MacArthur, the Japanese emperor, also encouraged Almond’s tenth army before the war, “after this war, you can go home for Christmas.”</p><p>The Chinese men’s football team, which normally played all its mistakes in the international arena, played badly and was not looked down upon by others; Just like the Asian peasant army that has not been looked down upon for more than 100 years.</p><p>Why did the volunteer army become an excellent army that frustrated the enemy in North Korea?</p><p>Firm faith and willpower can sometimes make up for the lack of strength.</p><p>With 10 hours to go into the game, lamenting that there is no good youth training is like lamenting that there is no turkey and you can only eat frozen potatoes.</p><p>What conditions, what war.</p><p>The foundation of football is so thin. When the whistle rings, forget to worry about gain and loss - charge without hesitation.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What can a sanitary ware enterprise do to help China’s environmental protection -- on the work done by toto water fund in cooperation between Dongtao (China) Co., Ltd. and China Environmental Protection Foundation in the past ten years</p><p>When it comes to Zhangjiajie, you may have a lush scene in your mind. It’s hard to imagine that there will be a serious water shortage in the local area. Three years ago, personnel from China Environmental Protection Foundation and Dongtao (China) Co., Ltd. went to Zhangjiajie for field investigation. The investigation found that due to the influence of local karst landform, especially in the mountains, the surface is not easy to store water, and some local residents are facing the dilemma of serious water shortage.</p><p>In the water shortage season, the affected residents can only rely on the sprinkler to provide drinking water, which not only consumes human and material resources, but also cannot ensure the clean water quality.</p><p>After the introduction of “toto water fund drinking water project” in Xuanshui village, Zhangjiajie, local mountain residents can receive clean and sanitary tap water as long as they turn on the tap</p><p>After several inspections, Toto China introduced the “toto water fund drinking water project” to Xuanshui village, Zhangjiajie through the toto water environment special fund (hereinafter referred to as “toto water fund”) established in the China Environmental Protection Foundation: to build reservoirs, sedimentation tanks and disinfect rainwater locally. After the completion of the project, local mountain residents can receive clean and sanitary tap water as long as they turn on the tap.</p><p>So far, Toto water fund has assisted 10 natural villages and safe drinking water projects, including five schools, in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Jiangsu, Guizhou and other provinces, benefiting more than 12000 people.</p><p>General manager Ono told us about toto China’s unremitting efforts for China’s environmental protection as a multinational bathroom enterprise rooted in the Chinese market</p><p>Recently, we interviewed Katsuya Ono, vice chairman and general manager of Dongtao China in toto China’s office in Beijing. He told us about toto China’s unremitting efforts for China’s environmental protection as a multinational bathroom enterprise rooted in the Chinese market.</p><p>Implement safe drinking water project</p><p>In addition to solving the problem of safe drinking water for vulnerable groups in remote areas, Toto water fund also carried out water conservation publicity around the protection of water environment</p><p>General manager Ono first introduced the original intention of toto water fund to implement the safe drinking water project. Toto China hopes that through the implementation of the project, it will help the population in China’s low-income areas improve their production and living conditions, solve the drinking water safety problems of farmers, herdsmen and children, disseminate environmental protection science popularization knowledge, and make more people fully realize the significance of cherishing limited water resources for protecting the earth’s environment and human survival.</p><p>When it comes to how to implement, general manager Ono said that for the implementation of each drinking water project, Toto water fund will “investigate in advance, communicate with the local people, go to at least two or three places, and select at least one place to carry out the project according to the urgency of the beneficiary groups. After the completion of the project, strict acceptance will be carried out.”</p><p>After the project is put into use, Toto water fund will also pay a return visit to previous projects to understand whether the projects implemented in that year are still in use and the response of local residents, so as to decide whether further improvement is needed.</p><p>Toto water fund has been inherited for a long time</p><p>Toto water fund was established in 2008. It has been 15 years since its establishment, with a total investment of more than 18 million yuan.</p><p>Over the past 15 years, Toto water fund has never forgotten its original intention and projects, and has solved the problem of safe drinking water for vulnerable groups in remote areas with various projects and activities. Focusing on the protection of water environment, we have carried out water conservation publicity, popularized water environment protection and water-saving knowledge and technology, cultivated environmental awareness and improved the ability to protect water environment resources at all levels of society, and improved the water environment in small areas. The project affects millions of people.</p><p>When asked about the reasons for the establishment of toto water fund, general manager Ono replied: at the beginning of starting a business, Toto’s ancestors held the belief of making citizens have a healthy and comfortable life and improving their lives. Today, Toto, as a well-known bathroom brand, should take root in the local area and make certain contributions to local residents. This is the consistent concept of toto.</p><p>In 2005, Toto group established a global “toto water environment fund” in Japan to provide support for creating an environment-friendly, hygienic and comfortable living environment, and contribute to solving regional social problems and sustainable development. According to toto’s operation and business development around the world, enterprises feel it is necessary to establish a special water fund in the Chinese market.</p><p>Therefore, in 2008, Toto China established toto China water environment fund with the help of China Environmental Protection Foundation. Around the world, Toto group hopes to make use of its own advantages to make more effective use of water resources, develop more water-saving and environmental protection products, provide a healthier life for local residents, and make its own efforts to protect the local water environment.</p><p>Integration of operation and responsibility</p><p>Toto has been adhering to the concept of integrating the company’s business activities and corporate social responsibility activities</p><p>When asked about toto’s concept of public welfare undertakings, general manager Ono said, “whether in Japan or elsewhere, Toto hopes to focus on the sustainable development of local society while carrying out business undertakings. Toto has always adhered to the concept that the company’s business activities are integrated with the corporate social responsibility activities.”</p><p>For example, Toto continuously develops water-saving products in the business process. In the 1990s, the national standard for the pumping capacity of domestic toilet was 15 liters, while the minimum pumping capacity of toto’s intelligent toilet is only 3.3 liters. “The advent of this kind of water-saving products is also an important link for toto to realize the value of corporate social responsibility.” General manager Ono said.</p><p>In various social contribution activities carried out by toto, the concept of environmental protection is transmitted to consumers through communication, cooperation and coordination. It is hoped that through social public welfare activities, customers and employees can understand the company’s concept and improve the environmental protection awareness of the whole society.</p><p>In addition, Toto group launched the new common value creation strategy toto will 2030 in 2021, aiming to achieve “a sustainable society” and “a clean, comfortable and healthy life” by 2030.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, we can trace the big bang 13.8 billion years ago and observe that the volume of the universe extends to 461 light-years. However, time units such as “year” and “light-year” are not only completely arbitrary and centered on the earth, but also have no consistent definition in the history of the earth. There may be better ways to measure time, especially for the universe, but each method has disadvantages.</p><p>We can ask many macro questions about the universe, but this is one of the most puzzling mysteries in human history. For example, “what is the universe? How big is the universe? Is it eternal or suddenly formed? If so, when was it born?” These questions were once one of the philosophical mysteries, but the past 100 years have provided firm scientific answers. Today, based on advanced astronomical survey equipment, we know what the universe is, but so far we have observed only a small part of the universe with a diameter of 92.2 billion light-years; We know that the big bang, a landmark event at the beginning of the universe, occurred about 13.8 billion years ago, but the exact time of occurrence is still 1% uncertain.</p><p>However, why do all our methods of measuring time and distance in the universe use earth centered units? For example, “year” and “light year”, is there not a better, more objective and more universal way to achieve it? The answer is yes, at least according to the scientist Jerry bear.</p><p>Bell pointed out that why should cosmological calculations, such as the age and size of the universe, widely use narrow parameters related to “years”? Objectively speaking, it is narrow to take the time concept of one year of the earth as a cosmic measurement standard, and the concept of light year is only related to the measurement of the cosmic region.</p><p>The above measurement standards are good points of view, but we need to further expand and think and find some alternative standards. Let’s take a look at the science behind the measurement of cosmic time!</p><p>On earth, there are only two ways to understand the concept of the passage of time. Both methods use regularly recurring phenomena. These phenomena are crucial not only to human activities, but also to all biological activities. On a shorter time scale, we have the concept of “day”, which is very important for the following reasons:</p><p>One day marks sunrise and sunset, roughly corresponding to a complete rotation cycle of the earth around the earth’s axis. At the same time, the time of the day corresponds to the time when most plants and animals experience diurnal activity and dormancy. All these phenomena repeat in the next day. In the next few days, there may be substantial differences. If we wait long enough, these differences will repeat, During a year, the days will change in various ways, including the advance and delay of sunrise and sunset, the increase and decrease of daytime time, the maximum and minimum height of the sun above the horizon, as well as the seasonal change cycle, plant and animal life cycle, etc. However, from the perspective of one year’s time, there is little change, and it appears repeatedly in a few years.</p><p>Based on the above analysis, we can easily understand why people put forward some timing systems based on the concepts of “day” and “year”, because our activities on this planet are closely related to these periodic cycles. But through careful observation, for various reasons, the concept of days and years we experience on earth can not be well transformed into a set of general formulas to mark the passage of time.</p><p>First of all, in the history of the earth, the duration of a day has changed greatly. When the moon, the earth and the sun interact, tidal friction will lead to a longer day, and the moon will gradually move away from the earth in a spiral way. About 4 billion years ago, the “one day” of the Earth lasted only 6-8 hours, with more than 1000 days a year.</p><p>However, there are only a few changes in the change of a year, or the time required for the earth to revolve around the sun. The earth’s orbit has changed a little longer than that of the solar system, which has been pushed by Saturn for about two years, which has caused it to change its mass a little longer than that of the solar system so far, The time of a year is extended by about two hours.</p><p>But why should we extend the earth’s timing concept to the entire universe and link the arbitrary movement of planets in other galaxies around their host stars? This is neither objective nor absolute, and it is of no use except for the earth centered timing standard. Neither day nor year is a universal time measure of the universe, and neither light year nor second gap (or related units, such as kilosecond gap, million second gap or megasecond gap) is a universal distance measure.</p><p>Interestingly, there are some methods that can define time more objectively and physically, and they will not have defects like the earth centered definition, but we also have some good reasons not to use these time measures, because each measure has its advantages and disadvantages. If you want to demonstrate the use of a certain method, here are some options to consider, People can analyze from the perspective of solar system history to judge whether these methods are better or worse than the current year based timing system (actually the earth centered timing standard).</p><p>Even if the solar system has undergone complex astrophysical changes, the duration of the earth’s year may still be an effective and stable measure. We can use this timing standard to determine the time count related to the earth. Since the speed of light is a known and measurable constant, “light year” appears as a derived distance unit, and the timing standard of light year changes only slightly with time. In the past billions of years, the accuracy has been maintained at about 99.98%.</p><p>Sometimes, we will use another important definition of timing. Although it is indirect, it is also based on the definition of the earth orbiting the sun for one year - the second gap. It is not only based on time, but also based on astronomical angle and trigonometry. When the earth revolves around the sun, the phase changes</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Li Hualin / economic daily</p><p>Recently, a series of new share breaks have affected the nerves of investors. The breaking of new shares is the embodiment that the market-oriented value discovery function gradually plays a role. However, there are also problems that need to be paid attention to and reflected behind the repeated breaking of new shares. In the future, with the comprehensive promotion of the registration system, the breaking of new shares may become the norm. Investors need to change the thinking pattern of “blindfolded lying and winning”, and pay more attention to the fundamentals of enterprises in the selection of new shares.</p><p>Recently, a series of new share breaks have affected the nerves of investors. According to statistics, since this year, more than half of the new shares have broken, and individual shares that fell below 20% and 30% of the issue price on the first day of listing have appeared frequently. Investors have repeatedly called “winning the lot is like being shot”, and individual new shares have become “hot potato”, resulting in the phenomenon that up to one-third of the winners abandon the purchase.</p><p>Why do IPO breaks occur frequently? There are two main reasons.</p><p>First, the impact of market conditions. This year, covid-19 market adjustment has increased, geopolitical conflicts, Fed rate hikes and new crowns pneumonia epidemic spread, and so on. The market sentiment is slightly depressed, and the performance of new shares has also been affected.</p><p>Second, it is related to the “three high” issuance of new shares. A number of new shares were issued at high prices, high price earnings ratio and high fund-raising amount, and valuation return was imminent after listing. Among them, many stocks issued at high prices, but the enterprise performance is at a loss. In the face of issuing pricing divorced from the fundamentals, investors chose to “vote with their feet”.</p><p>The breaking of new shares is the embodiment of the gradual function of market-oriented value discovery. Over the past period of time, the A-share market has frequently seen “three low” new shares with low issuance price, low P / E ratio and low fund-raising amount, and the phenomena of “centralized quotation” and “holding together to lower the price” of institutions have been prominent. In order to make the IPO pricing more reasonable, the implementation of the new inquiry regulations in September last year strengthened the market-oriented pricing of new shares, strengthened the quotation game, made it more difficult and reduced the space for intermediate arbitrage, broke the myth of “unbeaten new shares” and promoted the return of new shares to rationality. In other words, the breaking of a certain proportion of new shares is the only way for a shares to move towards a mature market.</p><p>However, there have been frequent breaking of new shares in recent times, and there are also problems that need to be paid attention to and reflected on. After all, the break of new shares, especially the sharp break, has brought real losses to investors. The frequent breaking and large-scale abandonment of purchases caused by the “three highs” issuance also undermine the function of the capital market to provide direct financing for enterprises and serve the real economy.</p><p>I’m afraid there’s a question mark about the pricing power of some inquiry institutions. The frequent issuance of “three highs” of new shares is closely related to the high prices quoted by some inquiry institutions. In order to obtain a higher proportion of underwriting and recommendation fees, in the process of corporate IPO, some inquiry institutions tend to set high prices, objectively promoting the rising price of new shares and increasing the probability of breaking new shares.</p><p>The registration system emphasizes the marketization of issuance pricing. How to set the price of new shares more reasonably tests the research ability and professional ability of inquiry institutions, and it is also an important embodiment of the competitiveness of institutions in the future. Inquiry institutions need to change the previous behavior path of emphasizing game and neglecting research, effectively improve their own research and investment ability, balance the interest demands of enterprises and investors, make an objective and rational quotation in combination with the company’s fundamentals, improve the marketability of stocks and enhance their own market influence.</p><p>After the implementation of the new regulations on inquiry, the “three highs” are issued frequently, which reflects that there are still some shortcomings in the inquiry mechanism, which needs to be further improved. For example, it can be considered to moderately increase the high price exclusion ratio from the current “no more than 3% and no less than 1%, so as to promote a more balanced inquiry game and set a more appropriate price for new shares.</p><p>In addition, listed companies also need to be vigilant against high issuance pricing that is divorced from fundamentals. The occurrence of large-scale breaking and large-scale abandonment of purchases is undoubtedly harmful to the reputation of listed companies, and some companies even lack of fund-raising. Listed companies should not blindly pursue high premium issuance, but should be down-to-earth to seek listing and wholeheartedly seek development. Only by effectively improving its own value, the growth of enterprise market value will be natural and the internal value can be more reasonably reflected.</p><p>In any case, in the future, with the comprehensive promotion of the registration system, the breaking of new shares may become the norm. The myth of “new shares will not fail” is a thing of the past, and “innovation” has also become a kind of venture capital. Investors need to change the mindset of “lying blindfolded and winning”. In the selection of new shares, they need to shift from “playing every new game” to selecting individual stocks, and pay more attention to the fundamentals of enterprises.</p><p>Massive information and accurate interpretation are all in Sina Finance app</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On March 2, car rental in China was officially opened for car rental reservation during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday in 2022. From now on, users can log in to Shenzhou car rental app to book car rental services from April 2, 2022 to April 5, 2022, without lease term restrictions and special prepayment rules on holidays.</p><p>Qingming Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, gets its name from the “Qingming” in the 24 solar terms. It is a time of beautiful spring and green vegetation. During this period, the public’s travel enthusiasm often rises gradually with the warmer temperature. In addition to tomb sweeping and ancestor worship, relaxing in outing and flower appreciation is also one of the travel activities. In particular, this year, the five national parks of Sanjiangyuan, giant panda, Amur tiger and leopard, Hainan tropical rain forest and Wuyishan will also usher in the first “small and long holiday in spring” after being selected as the first batch of national parks. It is expected that many tourists will go sightseeing and play.</p><p>With high travel enthusiasm, the car rental market will also usher in the first peak after the Spring Festival. According to the data of previous years, families and friends will form the mainstream group of Qingming travel, or take the whole family home to visit relatives and experience folk culture, or make a short self driving trip with three or two friends in the suburbs of the city.</p><p>Based on the differences of different travel scenes, Shenzhou car rental has also launched new models suitable for different travel scenes, from popular Volkswagen Langyi and Nissan Xuanyi, comfortable and fuel-efficient Volkswagen Passat and Chevrolet Malibu, green and environmentally friendly new energy vehicles Xiaopeng G3 and Dazhong id.4x, MPV representative Buick GL8 suitable for multi person travel, Volvo S90 and other high-end luxury cars, Various models are available on the platform to fully meet users’ travel scenes such as spring travel, family visits and ancestor worship.</p><p>At the same time, Shenzhou car rental also attaches great importance to improving the convenience of users’ travel and constantly getting close to users’ demand for cars anytime and anywhere. On the one hand, Shenzhou car rental has iteratively upgraded 850 24-hour service points across the country, covering key areas such as urban transportation hubs, core business districts and popular scenic spots, such as Shuangliu airport service points and Chunxi Road service points in Chengdu, providing users with round the clock travel services; On the other hand, when users go to the service point to pick up and return the car, they can also enjoy the full self-service pick-up and return service, which can greatly simplify the pick-up and return process, reduce personnel contact and improve the travel safety factor.</p><p>“Bing dwen dwen” the weather has picked up to more than ten degrees recently. Our four families have also talked about going south and scattering their hearts to go to Chengdu, Sichuan. First, children can see the prototype panda of “ice pier pier”. Secondly, we can also admire the “thirty-six peaks into the picturesque scene, and the Qingchengshan scenery.” Qingming car rental booking has just been opened. Mr. Lu from Tianjin booked a Buick GL8 on the platform. “A family of four has more luggage. When they are ready to arrive at Shuangliu Airport, it is more convenient to rent a car and drive by themselves. Moreover, it is more reassuring to take their children out.”</p><p>In addition to the above Chengdu characteristics mentioned by Mr. Lu, “land of abundance” Chengdu also has scenic spots with a long history and culture, such as Du Fu thatched cottage, Manjusri courtyard, Wuhou Temple and Jinli ancient street. You can also go to Kuanzhai alley, taste a bowl of tea, eat Sichuan food, visit people’s Park and immerse yourself in the local customs of Old Chengdu.</p><p>Industry insiders warned that during the peak travel period, the car rental industry adopts a dynamic pricing strategy similar to that of airlines and hotels. For users with travel needs, it is recommended to make plans in advance and book their favorite models as soon as possible, so as to save more worry and money.</p>]]></content:encoded>
