On June 11, Tang Dong fed chickens on his farm in Tujia, Renshou County, Meishan City.

　　"It’s time to say goodbye, my chicken farm, guessed the beginning, but didn’t guess the end … …” After typing this sentence on WeChat, Tang Dong began to deal with the chicken farm he founded for two years. On June 12, he told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter, "I will go back to the city to find a job in a few days."

　　Two years ago, Tang Donghuai, who worked in central enterprises and foreign enterprises, with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, returned to his hometown to start a business with an idyllic dream. His idea represents the voice of many office workers: quit his unchanging job, return to the countryside or his hometown in the countryside, raise fish and chickens, and build his own career in a leisurely manner and spend the rest of his life.

　　However, after a circle, Tang Dong returned to the original point, but what he paid behind was two years, hundreds of thousands of funds, and even family differences … …

　　resign (office/one’s job/post)

　　"Running a farm is a career, and if you do it well, you earn more than going to work."

　　June 11th, Yin.

　　The whole mountain behind Tang Dongjia’s house is his farm, and the chickens in the forest fly everywhere when they see people coming. During walking, you have to be careful at every step, because chickens are free-range and may lay eggs in any corner. Sure enough, after walking for five minutes, I found several nests of eggs laid in the grass. Tang Dong walked over and picked it up skillfully.

　　I was busy all morning. At 13 o’clock, the sky was as lead and the rain was as heavy as beans. Tang Dong couldn’t attend to lunch. The chickens and eggs delivered to the customers had to be sent to the post office in the town before 13: 30. He had to carry boxes of eggs to the car in the lane outside the house, and his feet were covered with mud after several trips. Sitting in the car, Tang Dong sighed: Look, this is life now.

　　In the house a few meters away, there are still photos of Tang Dong when he was studying. Born in 1980, he was white and gentle. After graduating from a petroleum university in Sichuan in 2004, he successfully entered the Urumqi branch of PetroChina.

　　Four years later, he left his job and returned to Sichuan for the simple reason that he always felt lonely and wandering outside. After job changes, in 2011, he joined a foreign company with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. When a colleague resigned under pressure, the idea of going home sprouted in Tang Dong’s heart.

　　Tang Dong’s hometown is Tujia Town, Renshou County, Meishan City. There are two big ponds in front of his home, and the mountain behind the house is his childhood "playground".

　　Nowadays, although he earns money by going to work, Tang Dong feels that he is a bit ruined. The future seems to be going to work, getting paid and getting old … … He can’t see the future, and he always feels that there is something missing in life, and the idea of going back to his hometown to start a business is getting stronger. But at first, Tang Dong didn’t convince himself. In 2014, he bought a suite in Huayang and wanted to accept the life of working in the city. He also fantasized about selling this house in the future, going back to his hometown to build a small building to live with his parents, opening a farm and raising some chickens and fish … …

　　Dreams are the greatest motivation. In 2016, Tang Dong persuaded his wife on the grounds of "this is a career, earning more than going to work for two years", resigned and returned to his hometown to start organizing a farm.

　　start a business

　　Opening up the market and operating e-commerce, everything starts from scratch.

　　The village has not changed much, and it is still familiar with mountains and water. However, the pressure soon came. I heard that Tang Dong had resigned and was going back to his hometown to raise chickens. My mother was so angry that her eyes almost turned black. My sister, who works in a financial institution, is also very puzzled: Is it difficult for your parents to work hard for your college education just to go back to the countryside to raise chickens? Friends and relatives also went into battle to persuade him. But no matter how his mother and sister objected, Tang Dong still insisted. In his view, this is the place where his career starts again and the beginning of life change.

　　In desperation, the family was divided into two camps. My mother and sister who lived in the city protested by not talking to him. Although my father didn’t say support, he stood by him.

　　The only thing that makes Tang Dong feel a little comforted is that the neighbors are watching themselves grow up, and it didn’t take much effort. More than 50 acres of land behind the house quickly moved into place. Tang Dong gave the farm a name: Liangshuijing Ecological Farm. He hopes that his family and future generations will not forget his hometown, a small place called Liangshuijing. According to his plan, the farm is prepared to invest more than 200,000 yuan to feed 1,000 chickens that are rare in rural areas, such as silky fowl, guinea fowl and imperial concubine chicken, and then gradually expand the scale, and feed some traditional fish such as carp and crucian carp.

　　Personnel, hire one or two people, plus the father who is over 60 years old, take charge of the overall situation, market, etc., and the employees and father are responsible for feeding and picking eggs. In the way of feeding, we insist on original ecological feeding, and there are many insects and grasses on the mountain. Sales methods rely on e-commerce to locate high-end markets.

　　With this in mind, Tang Dong is full of energy, charging chicken knowledge, opening up markets and operating e-commerce, and everything starts from scratch.

　　difficulty

　　When you say you get off work at 5: 30, do employees really get off work at 5: 30?

　　Difficulties, as expected, are unexpected in Tang Dong.

　　Although the hometown is good, employees are hard to find. Almost all young and middle-aged people go out to work, and almost all people who stay in their hometown are over 50 years old. Raising chickens and picking eggs are ok, but it is almost impossible to fill out express orders and check monitoring. Tang Dong can only "choose the young from the old", and a 50-year-old neighbor became his employee. His job is to help pick up eggs in the morning, pack them, then clean the henhouse and feed them. At first, my father also actively helped Tang Dong to do something, but he could only take care of chickens at home. My hometown is only more than 10 kilometers away from the town post office where express delivery can be made, but my father and employees can’t drive and it is difficult to ride a bike. I want to go to town to buy something. I took a ride at 9 am and came back in the afternoon.

　　There are obviously more unexpected difficulties.

　　Tang Dong wants to hire one more employee, but his father doesn’t understand: one employee earns more than 2,000 yuan, and two employees earn four or five thousand yuan a month. The money earned in one month is not enough to pay wages, so why hire someone?

　　When Tang Dong hired employees, he agreed to get off work at 5: 30, and when he arrived, the employees hurried home from work. This made my father very dissatisfied: get off work at 5: 30? People who go to work in the city get off work earlier than those who go to work in the city, and they go to work in the countryside. They can’t leave immediately when it’s time. At least they should do more things before leaving.

　　After being left behind by Tang’s father several times, the employee simply resigned from Tang Dong. Angry and anxious, Tang Dong wanted his father to live in the city and stay out of the farm, but his father came back after less than ten days in the city. After searching hard, Tang Dong finally found an employee who can write. After numerous explanations, he finally learned to fill in the express delivery form and send the express delivery.

　　Due to the shortage of manpower, Tang Dong can only be on the top. Originally, he wanted to expand the scale of raising chickens on the farm, but he could only postpone it. However, if he could not expand the scale, his output would be limited. With limited output, he could not expand the market and bring more profits. Without more profits, he could not support the salary of staff and the confidence of his family.

　　The budget was quickly spent, and trivial matters made Tang Dong tired of coping. In developing the market, in addition to lack of energy, the market also lacks trust in his original ecological products, which makes Tang Dong a little surprised. From chicken seedlings to slaughter, Tang Dong completely adhered to the original ecological feeding, without any feed and antibiotics. Although many people were full of praise, some people still did not believe that it was an original ecological product.

　　The market expansion is not enough, and the farm can’t expand its scale. The monthly turnover is about 5,000 yuan. Excluding labor, costs, etc., the farm will lose two or three thousand yuan a month.

　　The farm was slow to make a profit, but Tang Dong insisted on investing, which made his father unacceptable. After several arguments, my father’s attitude changed, and he stopped talking to Tang Dong, becoming a stranger.

　　have a deficit

　　I can earn more than 200 thousand when I go to work, but I lost nearly 500 thousand when I came and went

　　In addition to the father, the family has also quietly changed. My wife took her son to visit Tang Dong on weekends and holidays. At first, the open fields in the countryside and chickens all over the mountains made his son excited and had a good time. After several times, the novelty passed, and his wife and children didn’t want to come again.

　　Tang Dong is both a boss and an employee. Every day, when his eyes are open, he is busy turning off the lights. He has to teach employees about big and small things, and when it rains, his feet are muddy … … In fact, for the difficulty of starting a business, Tang Dong said that he had made full mental preparations. But now, he regrets: even if you have made sufficient mental preparation before, many things will still be beyond your psychological endurance. The most important thing is that Tang Dong believes that it is normal to be engaged in aquaculture, and it is not profitable in the first two years. The market and brand building of ecological aquaculture need a process, which may be two or three years, or three or five years, but the family feels that this process is too long and even does not believe it.

　　The most uncomfortable thing about Tang Dong is that he doesn’t agree with his ideas and doesn’t let himself do it, but he gives a deadline without support. When a person’s spirit weakens, everything goes wrong. The father also began to clearly oppose it with his mother and sister. The wife said that the two-year deadline had arrived and the 4-year-old son needed more company. In 2018, Tang Dong wrote this helplessness on WeChat: It’s time to say goodbye, my chicken farm guessed the beginning, but didn’t guess the end … …

　　On June 12th, in the face of Chengdu Business Daily reporter, Tang Dongxin was unwilling, but exhausted: In a few days, I will go to the city to find a job, so I will leave a worker to look after the farm for the time being, and slowly digest the chicken and eggs. He said that after two years of starting a business, he could have earned more than 200,000 yuan from going to work. Now he resigned and invested more than 200,000 yuan, and he lost about 500,000 yuan.

　　However, returning to his hometown to run a farm also made Tang Dong gain a lot of happiness: after raising chickens, snakes and eagles that had disappeared for many years came back and brought back many childhood memories; Picking up eggs in the morning always has a sense of freshness. "With birds singing and chickens crowing in your ears, you will never know where the next egg is?"

　　Family members’ questions and looking back.

　　Do you have to resign and start a business if you have a car and a house with a monthly salary of over 10 thousand? "I have no regrets."

　　Regarding Tang Dong’s resignation and returning to his hometown to run a farm, his family’s attitude can be summarized by three rhetorical questions — —

　　Engaged in work related to one’s major in a foreign company, owning a car and a house in Chengdu, with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, do you have to resign and start a business?

　　A science man, who has been working in chemical engineering for more than 10 years, does it have to choose irrelevant pastoral farming to start a business?

　　Repeated losses, the direction of the farm is unknown, is it necessary to persist? "

　　In Tang Dong’s younger sister’s view, my brother is biased in looking at problems. Life in his hometown is certainly worth remembering, but now he can’t go back to the past, and working in the city will also give people happiness. She said that when it comes to having a job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands in the city, I believe most people still have some pride in their hearts. In a city like Chengdu, there are countless job opportunities, better commercial, medical and educational resources, and a group of elites of similar age.

　　"What is the most important thing for a young man in his thirties? In addition to the family, there must be a vision. " She believes that how to have a broader vision, you must stay in a big city when you are young. It can give you a variety of values and tell you that there is not only one way to live in life, which directly determines your tolerance, the way you treat people and your ambition. Only when you have seen everything can you choose. Only those who have worked hard are entitled to enjoy the inner calm.

　　My sister’s opinion basically represents the opinion of my family, but Tang Dong doesn’t fully agree: Is it hard work only in the city? I go back to my hometown to start a business, so it’s not hard work? However, for the three rhetorical questions of his family, apart from the first one, Tang Dong himself could not give the answers to the latter two questions.

　　Tang Dong also stressed that starting a business is not as simple as expected. Even if you are fully prepared, you have paid a lot, overcome many difficulties and solved many problems, but the pay is not necessarily rewarding. Things are still much more cruel than expected, and the market is even more cruel. "For example, the chickens I raise are all ecologically farmed, but some people just don’t believe that this is a market environment." Tang Dong said, of course, the most important thing is that the distrust of his family makes him feel deeply powerless.

　　For failure, Tang Dong did not regret it. He said that he had gained a lot, and these two years were almost the days he wanted. "If people are not a little aggressive at this age, how boring is that life?"

　　Asking about rural entrepreneurial dreams

　　Entrepreneurial mentor:

　　To realize the dream of rural entrepreneurship requires adequate preparation.

　　Cross-industry entrepreneurship requires more preparation. The problem of Tang Dong’s entrepreneurship lies in his lack of understanding of the long-term nature of the agricultural cycle and his lack of estimation of the market. In addition, the support of family members is particularly important.

　　Li Peining, chairman of Sichuan Weimu Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd., is the first batch of Chengdu science and technology entrepreneurship instructors. After hearing the story of Tang Dong, Li Peining believes that Tang Dong and his family have reasons for this. First of all, they have insufficient understanding of the long-term nature of the agricultural cycle. Many people have the dream of rural entrepreneurship, but how to realize it requires adequate preparation, such as systematic planning and how to carry out ecological farming in light assets, which requires technology and experience. And Tang Dong’s cross-industry entrepreneurship needs more preparation.

　　Li Peining said that there are also factors that underestimate the market. To gain the trust of the market, unless the products are very good, it takes time to accumulate, especially to open up the market. It is not that the people don’t trust ecological products, but that they don’t trust his ecological products. Ecological products are generally expensive. Why should others pay for higher prices? This also needs to convince others.

　　The support of family members is also particularly important. Li Peining believes that to start a farm like Tang Dong, it is necessary to have enough mental preparation and financial preparation. It is normal to not make money for a year or two, and family members cannot not support it without making money for a short time.

　　Employment sector:

　　Treat failure well, see failure clearly and take failure.

　　When starting a business, entrepreneurs should first ask themselves: Is there any preliminary research? Is there a common team? Is there anyone who works together in Qi Xin to build a fist product with himself?

　　For an entrepreneur like Tang Dong, Zhu Shuji, director of Meishan Employment Bureau, while affirming his entrepreneurial spirit, gave three key words: be kind to failure, see failure clearly and take failure.

　　Zhu Shuji introduced that the current low success rate of entrepreneurship is a relatively common phenomenon. In the entrepreneurial army, there are many entrepreneurs like Tang Dong, and the society should give more tolerance; Secondly, the tolerance of family members, relatives should give more care and support, in order to bring sustained motivation to entrepreneurs. Another tolerance is that entrepreneurial teams and individuals should be tolerant of themselves, strive for entrepreneurial success, and be prepared for failure.

　　Zhu Shuji’s second point is to recognize failure. He believes that interlacing is like a mountain. If a person gives up his strengths and chooses a strange industry to start a business, he may succeed. However, if you don’t understand the industries you are involved in, you will easily fall behind in the competition, especially in industries with long cycle, high risk and low return rate. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct early research. In the process of market research, we also need to find like-minded teams. In modern agriculture, entrepreneurship can’t be just passionate, and it is easy to run aground according to the traditional model, and the homogenization of agricultural products is very serious. In the Internet age, it is necessary to stand out from others, to have a modern management mode, to have a production team, a marketing team, a planning team, a publicity team, and even an art team and a packaging team.

　　When starting a business, entrepreneurs should first ask themselves: Is there any preliminary research? Is there a common team? Is there anyone who works together in Qi Xin to build a fist product with himself?

　　Zhu Shuji said that in terms of failure, this is also a topic that Meishan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are studying. While encouraging everyone to start a business, we are studying how to minimize the risk of starting a business. Is it possible to introduce a third party organization? For example, guarantee companies, insurance companies or some venture capital institutions, it is also a kind of risk sharing to evaluate first and then inject capital. With the entry of the third party, we can better supervise the entrepreneurial process and risk, correct the deviation in time, and reduce the risk of failure to a smaller extent. This is what we are thinking about and the direction of our efforts.

　　Some analysts pointed out that the unlimited package has gone through some adjustments since it went on the market, such as suspending the network after the initial huge traffic. At present, there is no such description in many products. At the same time, speed limit has become a means for operators to balance the differences between different packages, and it has also become a common practice in the market at present, with the aim of avoiding excessive occupation of base station resources by a single user.

　　The tariff price of unlimited traffic package is falling all the way. From the initial price of 398 yuan in 2017, the first domestic unlimited package product came out, to 199 yuan /188 yuan, which became a common price in the market. Recently, the three operators have successively launched similar products around 98 yuan, lowering the main tariff price of "unlimited" to less than 100 yuan.

　　status

　　The price of unlimited package has been reduced to less than 100 yuan.

　　At the beginning of 2017, China Unicom took the lead in releasing the "Ice Cream Package" with 398 yuan and 198 yuan super traffic packages in China. Subsequently, in May 2017, China Mobile announced the launch of the "Let Me Use" package. For new users, there are two charges of 188 yuan and 288 yuan, including 12GB and 20GB of unlimited traffic respectively, while old customers can provide 15GB of unlimited traffic package at 238 yuan/month. China Telecom also followed the pace and launched Tianyi unlimited package. The package fee was 199 yuan/month. After the domestic traffic reached 40GB in that month, the internet access rate would drop to 3GB. After the cumulative traffic usage reached 100GB in that month, the internet access rate would drop to 128Kbps, and it would resume the next month.

　　Recently, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter noticed that the three major operators have successively launched unlimited products with a price of about 100 yuan. Among them, Beijing Mobile’s unlimited package is 98 yuan/month. In a business hall of Beijing Mobile, the poster shows that the new promotion price of this product is 98 yuan/month, including unlimited local traffic, 3GB national traffic and 500 minutes national voice. At the same time, mobile optical broadband +4K TV box can be given according to the coverage and specific package stalls.

　　"99 yuan (during the preferential period) has unlimited traffic, which is shared by the whole family". In a cooperative business office of Beijing Unicom, a poster newly posted by the staff shows that the local version of the recently listed "Ice Cream Package" costs 129 yuan, which is deposited in 100 yuan in advance, and paid to 99 yuan every month. In addition to free local traffic, the package includes 500 minutes of calling, 4GB of domestic traffic and 10 yuan/month/piece (up to two) of supplementary cards, so that calls and traffic in the package can be shared.

　　At the same time, China Unicom recently launched the "Ice God Card" series of Internet packages, the biggest feature of which is that the national traffic is unlimited, and the 199 yuan version also includes unlimited calls. Among them, the small ice card in 99 yuan is 99 yuan monthly fee, and the domestic traffic is unlimited, including 300 minutes of domestic voice; The monthly fee of the Big Ice God Card is 199 yuan, and the national traffic voice is unlimited.

　　According to information from Beijing Telecom, the company has recently launched a promotional price, and the monthly cost of products with unlimited national traffic is less than 100 yuan on a regular basis. According to reports, the company offered a limited-time discount in April and May, and Tianyi "unlimited" the national premium version of 99 yuan/month of 129 yuan, and then sent 30 yuan phone bill every month in the first year of limited-time promotion. The contents of the package show that during the preferential period, this unlimited premium version of the monthly package fee is 129 yuan, and the phone bill is given to 60 yuan/month from January to December, and the phone bill is given to 30 yuan every month from 13th to 24th. The package includes "unlimited national traffic" and 500 minutes of national calls, which are free for national answering. At the same time, you can also handle up to two supplementary cards and share the package.

　　pay close attention

　　Unlimited packages still have a speed limit.

　　In a recent interview, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that these newly launched unlimited packages, although with favorable prices, are the same as the earlier products, and will be limited in Internet access speed after the usage exceeds a certain limit.

　　When asked whether the unlimited traffic package in 98 yuan still has a speed limit, a staff member of the mobile business hall clearly stated: "The local traffic is unlimited, and after exceeding 40 G, the speed limit will become a 3G network speed." The staff then introduced a "national use" mobile traffic package product to the reporter of Beiqing Daily. According to reports, after the opening of this package, domestic (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) traffic will be used at will, and before December 31, 2018, the package fee will be discounted. 100 yuan package currently has a minimum 10 yuan/month according to different discounts. The traffic packet for my use is not restricted by 500 yuan and 15GB capping. However, the package tip also pointed out that when the domestic traffic in the package exceeds the limit, it will be limited to a maximum of 1 Mbps; When it exceeds 100GB, users can continue to use the Internet without charge, but the Internet access will be limited to a maximum of 128Kbps.

　　As for China Unicom, the tariff description of the local version of its "Ice Cream Package" in 99 yuan pointed out that after the cumulative usage in the current month exceeded 40GB, the local traffic was limited to 3Mbps (domestic roaming traffic was not affected by the speed limit), and after the cumulative usage in the current month exceeded 100GB, the Internet service was automatically turned off (the cap could be opened after the user applied), and the speed limit and cap were automatically restored to normal at the beginning of the next month.

　　Unicom’s latest big and small ice cards also have speed limit tips after super-large traffic. It is understood that the Internet access rate will drop to a maximum of 1Mbps when the total data of Little Ice God Card reaches 20GB, and to a maximum of 7.2Mbps when Big Ice God Card reaches 40GB. After the total traffic exceeds 100GB, the Internet access rate will drop to no more than 256Kbps.

　　In addition, the tariff description of China Telecom Tianyi’s 129-yuan national premium version also pointed out that after the domestic mobile Internet traffic reached 20GB in the current month, the Internet access rate dropped to 1Mbps and resumed the next month.

　　What will be the impact on users once the speed is limited after the super-large flow? For example, insiders pointed out that the download speed of normal 4G can theoretically reach up to 100M, which is equivalent to a download speed of 12.5M/s, which means that it only takes 84 seconds to download a 1G HD movie in the ideal situation. Relatively speaking, if the download speed is 128 K/s after the speed limit, it may take more than 2 hours to download a 1G movie. "If you are used to using the normal rate of 4G, you will feel very different." The above-mentioned person said.

　　analyse

　　Should there be a speed limit for unlimited packages?

　　Why should operators set a speed limit for unlimited packages? Some people in the communication industry pointed out that this is actually a measure for operators to protect themselves and also a measure to protect other users. According to reports, when the American 4G just came out, a local operator giant launched unlimited packages in order to compete for customers. As a result, the network once collapsed, and it was difficult for non-package users to open web pages during peak hours. Finally, it was found that a small number of users had been hanging their mobile phones as hot spots on the Internet for downloading.

　　Well-known digital blogger "Communication Laoliu" also believes that speed limit is not a domestic patent, which is a common practice in the world, and operators all over the world do it. The main reason is that wireless network resources are limited, and unlimited speed will lead to great unfairness among users.

　　In this regard, professionals told Beiqing Daily that due to the limited bandwidth resources that a base station can carry, at present, the bandwidth of a single base station ranges from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, so in a certain area, the number of users who can support normal Internet access is also limited. If more and more people engage in high-traffic operations for a long time, such as watching high-definition videos online, downloading them continuously, and using them as WiFi hotspots for other people or computers to surf the Internet, it will greatly increase the bandwidth load of the base station. When the accumulation exceeds the capacity, it will cause others to get online. Suppose there are more than a dozen or twenty users downloading continuously for a long time, and each user has to divide the bandwidth of 5M, so it will be difficult for other users to get online, and they may not even be able to get online or QQ.

　　"In fact, the internet access rate after the speed limit is 128 K/s, and under normal circumstances, the speed of downloading by 200 people at the same time is also around 100 K/s, and the operator does not have ‘ Deduct ’ The user’s Internet access rate is to let the excess users return to a fair state for all users. " The above-mentioned person said.

　　focus

　　Unlimited package will be the future trend.

　　Fu Liang, an independent telecom analyst, pointed out that since the unlimited package was launched, it has undergone some adjustments, such as suspending the network after the initial huge traffic. At present, such a description has not been seen in many products. For the "unlimited" packages expected by the public, Fu Liang believes that speed limit has become a means for operators to balance the differences between different packages, and it has also become a common practice in the current market, with the aim of avoiding excessive occupation of base station resources by a single user.

　　Is it possible to realize unlimited and unlimited traffic packages in the future? If possible, when will it be realized? Fu Liang believes that there is no limit or speed limit, and it is not realistic under the current network bandwidth conditions. The load of base stations in 5G networks is greatly increased, which is possible on the whole.

　　Fu Liang said that on the whole, unlimited and unlimited speed is definitely one of the future trends. However, he also believes that no restrictions at all do not necessarily mean the "unification" of packages. More likely, there will still be package demand at different price points in the market, and packages with different thresholds and conditions at different price points will still have demand and existence.

　　In the future, with the further improvement of network conditions and the further increase of traffic supply capacity, people’s attention to traffic may be weakened. Fu Liang believes that by then, for the packages provided by operators, the traffic scale may no longer be the main concern of users. Therefore, the package design and billing model may also evolve and divide into different content, different functions and services.

Historical nihilism is one of the erroneous ideological trends with great influence in China. Its main manifestation is to deny history, especially to distort and deny the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the history of New China, and then to deny the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leading position and China’s socialist system. Opposing historical nihilism is an important manifestation of the current ideological struggle. It is worth noting that with the deepening of the struggle, a new trend has emerged recently. Some people took over the slogan of opposing historical nihilism and accused Marxism of "historical nihilism", showing an intention to muddy the water and turn the debate around historical nihilism into a melee. To "nihilist" Marxism in the name of opposing historical nihilism, and then to deny the history of the Party and New China in a more thorough form, is a new variant of historical nihilism, which we have to be vigilant about.

First, how was Marxism labeled as "historical nihilism"?

In his southern talk in the spring of 1992, Deng Xiaoping briefly summarized the law of social development revealed by historical materialism. He said: "Feudal society replaces slave society, capitalism replaces feudalism, and socialism will inevitably replace capitalism after a long process of development. This is the irreversible general trend of social and historical development, but the road is tortuous. " (Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping, Volume 3, People’s Publishing House, 1993, pp. 382-383) He also said: "We people have communist ideals and beliefs in our minds. To educate our next generation and two generations in particular, we must establish the lofty ideal of communism. " (Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping, Volume 3, People’s Publishing House, 1993).

It is such a scientific social and historical viewpoint, but now it has been labeled as "historical nihilism"

Some commentators described what he called "Marx’s historical schema" as follows: As people know, Marx has a theory of five historical stages, namely, primitive communist society-slave society-feudal society-capitalist society-communist society; He also has a three-stage theory, that is, primitive communist society-class society-communist society. The three-stage theory is consistent with the five-stage theory. It should be said that such a statement, although not accurate, is generally in line with the Marxist theory of social formation, and is not contradictory to the above-mentioned generalization by Deng Xiaoping. However, how to evaluate these ideas, there have been fundamental differences and oppositions. In making the above summary, Deng Xiaoping firmly stated: "I firmly believe that there will be more people in favor of Marxism in the world, because Marxism is a science." ("Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping", Volume 3, People’s Publishing House, 1993, p. 382) However, the above viewpoint holds that Marx ended history in the future communist stage, and such a historical diagram … negates the middle with two ends and ends history in an imaginary future stage. The so-called "denying the middle with two ends" and "ending history in an imaginary future stage" here are what this view calls "historical nihilism" This view holds that Marx’s historical diagram is indeed very similar to that of Christianity. Although he affirmed the achievements of capitalism and thought that capitalism was the peak of world civilization at present, he finally denied the history of capitalism with an envisaged future life stage. In his view of history,From slave society, feudal society to capitalist society, it is a "class society" and a degeneration of human nature; Capitalism is alienated no matter what achievements it has made, and its political system, economic system, social system and moral concept will be completely abandoned. This is obviously out of the ideological line of enlightenment and into historical nihilism.

From this point of view, this view can be summarized as three main points: first, history is going to end, and all historical views are the final conclusion of history. The only difference is that the end of history is in the future or now; Second, the bourgeois enlightenment scholars "end history in the present", "The illustration of enlightenment history without the future stage is tantamount to setting a realistic standard principle, which points out that beautiful things exist in the real world in front of people", and the significance of this "final conclusion of enlightenment history lies in establishing a modern way of thinking and a new view of history"; Third, Marx’s view of history regards the envisaged future communism as the end point of history, denies the history of capitalism, feudal society and slave society, and falls into historical nihilism.

It is not difficult to see that the theoretical premise of this set of statements is the conclusion of the end of history, and based on this, we comment on Marx’s view of history and deduce two conclusions. One is that it "ends history in an imaginary future stage", the other is that it denies the history of capitalism and all classes of society, and then based on this, it is labeled as "historical nihilism". From this point of view, Marxism believes that human society will go beyond capitalism to a higher historical stage, and realizing communism will deny all the past history and "end" history in the envisaged "future stage", thus it is "historical nihilism".

Second, Marxism is the ideological weapon to analyze historical nihilism.

Marxism is certainly not historical nihilism. On the contrary, it is our ideological weapon to analyze historical nihilism, including its new varieties.

1. About the final conclusion of history

Among the new varieties of historical nihilism mentioned above, "the final conclusion of history" appears as a theoretical premise, and it is a hypothesis that has been applied without argument. This view holds that all kinds of traditional historical views in the world are basically the final conclusion of history. However, we know that any kind of historical view is just a reflection of the objective historical process in one way or another. It is not history itself, nor is it the decider of history, and it cannot specify the direction and path of history. History goes its own way, regardless of how this or that historical view declares its "end". What the whole history shows us is that since human beings appeared on the earth, the society has never stopped moving forward faster or slower on the tortuous and uneven road.

From the perspective of world outlook or cosmology, the final conclusion of history is a metaphysical static view, which denies that everything will inevitably perish and will inevitably be transformed into other things. In the view of materialist dialectics, "everything that comes out is doomed to perish." "There is nothing eternal except the ever-changing and ever-moving matter and the laws of its movement and change." (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 9, People’s Publishing House, 2009, pp. 422 and 426) Mao Zedong said: "Metabolism is a universal and irresistible law in the universe." "In the world, it is always like this to replace the old with the new, and it is always like this to metabolize, remove the old cloth or introduce the new." (Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Volume 1, People’s Publishing House, 1991, pp. 323 and 324) On the basic theoretical premise, Marxism is completely opposite to the new variety of historical nihilism that advocates the final conclusion of history.

2. About "Ending History in an Imagined Future Stage"

Marxism applies materialism and dialectics to all fields, including human society, and reflects it according to the original features of social history. Therefore, in the view of Marxism, history is an endless development process and will never "end" in a "future stage". Engels expressed the view that history has no end point with thorough and clear words. He said: "History, like cognition, will never end in a perfect ideal state of mankind; A perfect society and a perfect’ country’ are things that can only exist in fantasy; On the contrary, all the historical States that have been replaced in turn are only temporary stages in the infinite development process of human society from low to high. " He elaborated on the temporality of all stages in the historical process: "Every stage is inevitable, so there is a reason for its existence in the era when it happened and those conditions;" But for the new and higher conditions gradually developed within itself, it becomes outdated and has no reason to exist; It has to give way to a higher stage, and this higher stage is also going to decline and perish. " (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 4, People’s Publishing House, 2009, p. 270) It is clear enough here that history will never reach a perfect ideal state and will eventually end, and all societies are in the process of emergence, development, decline and extinction. China Marxism also adheres to this materialistic and dialectical view of history. Mao Zedong’s view that the development of history "will never end"His exposition is very famous. He said: "The history of mankind is a history of continuous development from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. This history will never end. " He also specifically talked about the future development: "In a society where there is no class, the struggle between new and old, right and wrong will never end." Therefore, he stressed: "Human beings must constantly sum up experience, make discoveries, invent, create and make progress. The arguments of stopping, pessimism, inaction and complacency are all wrong. " (Selected Readings of Mao Zedong’s Works (Volume II), People’s Publishing House, 1986, p. 845) However, didn’t communist party regard communism as the "ultimate goal"? Yes, our party constitution clearly stipulates: "The highest ideal and ultimate goal of the party is to realize communism." But don’t forget that we have never regarded the realization of the Party’s ultimate goal as the end of the history of human society, but as the beginning of a more advanced human society. As early as the eve of People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s birth in 1949, on the occasion of commemorating the 28th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s founding, Mao Zedong showed people this "prospect of human progress" with great interest, and announced that the Party would also decline one day. He said that we are working hard to "create conditions for the class, state power and political parties to be naturally eliminated and for mankind to enter the realm of great harmony." ("Selected Works of Mao Zedong", Volume 4, People’s Publishing House, 1991, p. 1469) Mao Zedong also said: "Even at the stage of communism,It still needs to be developed. It may go through tens of thousands of stages. When it comes to communism, nothing will change and everything will be "completely consolidated"? "("Collected Works of Mao Zedong ",Volume 8, People’s Publishing House, 1999, p. 108), it can be seen that the final conclusion of idealism and metaphysics is completely incompatible with the materialistic and dialectical Marxist view of history. The so-called "Marx ended history in the future communist stage" and "ended in an imaginary future stage" are completely fabricated and imposed by new varieties of historical nihilism.

Making up the "final conclusion of history" is not only to discredit Marxism, but also to beautify the bourgeois view of history and the capitalist system. In this view, as long as it is mandatory to stipulate that "all historical views are the final conclusion of history", then all historical views have no choice but to end history in the present or in the future; Since Marx’s view of history thinks that the capitalist society in reality will be surpassed, it means "ending history in the future", which denies the past and the present, so it is historical nihilism; The bourgeois historical view ("Enlightenment Historical Diagram") regards capitalism as eternal, which means "removing the future stage", "ending history" in "modern (present)" and "pointing out that beautiful things exist in the real world before people", so only it can be regarded as a "modern way of thinking and a new historical view". In a word, according to the theoretical premise and logical rules stipulated in this view, the only way out is to declare that history has ended in the capitalist mode of production and social system.

The bourgeois view of history is an ideology that comes from and serves the capitalist mode of production and social system. Describing the capitalist system as eternal is the concentrated expression of this ideology serving its own economic base and political system. The new variety of historical nihilism is not shy about this. This view takes Fukuyama’s "end of history" as the basis, and describes the disintegration of the Soviet Union as a sign of "end of history" and a proof of the permanence of the capitalist system: in short, in the long-term competition and comparison, the liberal democratic system has shown its advantages and won and become the last system of mankind, and this trend has continued, which means that human history has ended and entered an era called "post-history". It can be seen that the so-called "ending history in the present" is to declare the capitalist system as "the last system of mankind" and solidify and sanctify it, thus fundamentally denying the historical inevitability of the establishment and development of the socialist system. The final conclusion of history is just the expression form of capitalist eternity theory at the level of historical view; The theory of capitalist eternity is a realistic political conclusion wrapped in the final conclusion of history. It is here that we see the essence of the new variety of historical nihilism.

3. "Denying the history of capitalism" and "Class society is the depravity of human nature"

It is groundless to attack Marx’s criticism of capitalism as "historical nihilism". Marx’s study of capitalism is based on the materialistic view of history rather than "human nature". When Marx first published his achievements in political economy in the first volume of Critique of Political Economy in 1859, he made a classic statement on the main points of historical materialism in the preface. When the first volume of Das Kapital was published in 1867, Marx stated in the preface: "My view is to understand the development of economic social form as a process of natural history." (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 5, People’s Publishing House, 2009, page 10) Marx fundamentally abandoned the idealistic historical view of criticizing capitalist society with "human nature" from fantasy. He "used the method of dividing the economic field from various fields of social life, and dividing the relations of production from all social relations, that is, the basic primitive relations that determine all other relations." (Selected Works of Lenin on Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism, People’s Publishing House, 2009, pp. 158-159) He "attributed social relations to production relations, and attributed production relations to the level of productivity", (ibid., p. 161) analyzed social phenomena with a strict scientific attitude, and pointed out with the accuracy of natural science "what happened in the economic conditions of production.Reveal the movement law of capitalist society. As Lenin pointed out, when Marx revealed the development law of capitalism, his analysis was "limited to the relations of production among members of society. Marx never used any factors other than these relations of production to explain the problem. " (Selected Works of Lenin on Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism, People’s Publishing House, 2009, p. 162) Because of this, Marx comprehensively and scientifically evaluated the historical position of capitalism. He regards the bourgeoisie itself as the product of a long-term development process and a series of changes in the mode of production and exchange. Marx and Engels clearly pointed out that "the bourgeoisie once played a very revolutionary role in history", which constantly revolutionized the old social relations and blew up the old shackles that bound the productive forces. "The productive forces created by the bourgeoisie in its less than one hundred years of class rule are more than all the productive forces created by all previous generations." (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 2, People’s Publishing House, 2009, pp. 33 and 36) On the other hand, they also pointed out that with the further development of productive forces, the bourgeoisie forged weapons that killed itself and people who would use such weapons, that is, proletarians. As Lenin pointed out, Marx "proved the inevitability of the capitalist system becoming a socialist system by this objective analysis of the capitalist system." (Selected Works of Lenin on Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism),People’s Publishing House, 2009, p. 178) What is the relevance of this scientific attitude of comprehensively evaluating the historical position of capitalism with a developmental perspective?

For other exploitation systems in history, Marxism also gives scientific historical evaluation. Marx regarded human beings from primitive barbarism to civilization and from ancient slavery to modern bourgeois society as historical progress. He regards the history of civilization as the history of progress in confrontation, and reveals the law of civilization development: "Without confrontation, there will be no progress. This is the law that civilization has followed until today. " (The Complete Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 4, People’s Publishing House, 1958, p. 104) While exposing and condemning the contradictions, confrontations and evils in the process of civilization progress, he affirmed and praised the progress and achievements made by civilization in confrontation. In Anti-Turin, Engels said: "Without slavery, there would be no Greek state, and there would be no Greek art and science; Without slavery, there would be no Roman empire Without the foundation laid by Greek culture and the Roman Empire, there would be no modern Europe. " "All our economic, political and intellectual development is based on the premise that slavery is both necessary and recognized." "Without slavery in ancient Greece and Rome, there would be no modern socialism." He clearly pointed out: "Under the circumstances at that time, the adoption of slavery was a great progress." (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 9, People’s Publishing House, 2009, p. 188) Engels also criticized the non-historical view that he could not see the progress of the Middle Ages, and he said:"The struggle against the remnants of the Middle Ages limited people’s horizons. The Middle Ages were regarded as a simple interruption of history caused by the general barbarism of the Millennium. The great progress in the Middle Ages-the expansion of the European cultural field, the vital big nations formed one after another there, and the great technological progress in the 14th and 15th centuries, all of which have not been seen. " (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 4, People’s Publishing House, 2009, p. 283) If someone ignores these explicit expositions of the founders of Marxism, it is hard for people to understand this attitude according to the thinking logic followed by normal academic research.

Some statements of those who hold the above-mentioned new varieties of historical nihilism provide us with enlightenment to understand this attitude. For example, "historical nihilism is a kind of political behavior in many cases" and "almost all behaviors that nihilise history have special political purposes". "It is impossible for people to provide an academic and scientific discussion of history to obtain a consistent and accurate understanding, because the nature of the debate is political rather than academic." It should be admitted that these statements do reflect the close relationship between historical nihilism and real politics, and state the nature and political purpose of promoting historical nihilism as a "political act". Marxism regards history as an endless and rising process, and gives a comprehensive evaluation of the historical status of all previous stages of development. This has already become common knowledge that people generally know and does not need special "careful discussion". Therefore, only by paying attention to the political nature and "special political purpose" of his behavior can we understand why some theorists completely ignore the facts and make such arbitrary conclusions as Marx’s view of history "ending history in the future" and "denying the long human history of slave society, feudal society and capitalist society".

The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the product of the combination of Marxism and the workers’ movement in China. Since its birth, the Party has established Marxism as its guiding ideology. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s history of more than 90 years and People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s history of more than 60 years under the leadership of the Party are the history of increasingly integrating Marxism with China’s reality. Therefore, to declare Marxism as "historical nihilism" and completely "nihilism" it is undoubtedly a radical method and the most convenient way to deny the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and People’s Republic of China (PRC). It can be seen that it is indeed a new variant of historical nihilism to take over the slogan of opposing historical nihilism and put the hat of historical nihilism on Marxism to "nihilism".

CCTV News:This week, the New York Mercantile Exchange’s main gold futures price rose four times in only four trading days, and closed at a record high for two consecutive days. As of the close of 28th, the New York Mercantile Exchange’s main gold futures price closed at $2,238.40 per ounce. Throughout March, the new york gold futures price rose by nearly 8%, the biggest monthly increase since November 2022.

The price of domestic jewelry gold is rising by 12 yuan/gram every day, approaching 700 yuan/gram.

The international gold price surged strongly, and the price of the domestic gold retail market also rose. On March 30th, the listing price of jewelry gold in many domestic brand gold shops reached 686 yuan/gram, approaching 700 yuan/gram. How do consumers choose at high prices? Come and see the reporters’ field visits in several gold shops in Beijing.

On the morning of March 30th, when the reporter visited several gold stores in Beijing, he found that the listed prices of Chow Tai Fook and China Gold had reached 686 yuan/gram. Although the price of gold has risen, there are still many consumers who come to buy gold, but they generally feel that the price of gold has risen too fast recently.

With the soaring price of gold, the trend of gold consumption and investment has also diverged. Some consumers are more cautious and decide to wait and see or choose some products with lower grams, but some consumers have the psychology of "buying more and more" in the face of crazy gold prices.

The rise in the price of gold has made the gold repurchase business hot. The reporter met a "post-00" consumer who is still in high school. He told reporters that he came to realize gold today and earned a total of more than 1,000 yuan.

Yang Li, a senior gold investment analyst of a gold jewelry company in Beijing, said: "Since March this year, the highest increase in international gold prices has reached 9.3%. From the domestic price point of view, the increase in March has been nearly 50 yuan, and the increase has reached 10%. On Thursday and Friday, especially on Friday (March 29th), domestic prices rose by 11-mdash; 12 yuan per gram. "

Shenzhen Shuibei Market: Hot sale of rigid wedding gold ornaments reduces the number of investors.　

There is still one month before the May Day wedding season, and many new couples begin to buy "three golds" for the wedding. Will the rising price of gold affect the enthusiasm of newcomers to buy gold? Look at the reporter’s visit to Shuibei Gold Market in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

On Saturday, Shenzhen Shuibei Gold Market was crowded. On March 30th, Ms. Yu and her husband came here specially from Guizhou to buy the "three gold" for marriage.

Customers who come to buy gold go wave after wave, mainly young couples, and the types of purchases are mostly wedding accessories such as dragon and phoenix bracelets and necklaces.

Merchants told reporters that the number of investors who came to their stores to buy gold bars has decreased recently, and most of the buyers are married people, which is just a need to buy gold.

With gold prices hitting record highs, wholesalers are cautious and reduce stocking and inventory.

The exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar hit a 34-year low, and the Japanese gold price exceeded 12,000 yen/gram.

On March 30th, the retail price of gold counters announced by Tanaka Precious Metals in Japan reached 12,086 yen per gram, which was about 579 yuan, hitting a record high for the third consecutive day. Against the background that the exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar has fallen to a 34-year low, the enthusiasm of Japanese people to trade gold is high. Let’s watch the report sent back from Tokyo by the special correspondent of the financial channel.

This is a jewelry store located in Ginza, Tokyo. In addition to brand jewelry, it is also engaged in the acquisition and sale of precious metals such as second-hand gold jewelry and gold coins. Affected by the continuous rise in the price of gold in Japan, the recovery price of gold has also been pushed up.

According to the person in charge of the store, some patients in the nearby dental clinic will go to the store to sell the newly replaced gold teeth. Although there is only a thin piece of gold, it can be sold for about 10,000 yen at the current recycling price. According to the person in charge, driven by the rising price of gold, the total sales and purchases of gold in the store increased by 30% year-on-year.

In addition to the daily gold jewelry, some Japanese consumers will also protect their assets by buying 24K gold coins to counter rising prices. Analysts pointed out that the recent high international gold price has driven the Japanese gold price to rise. In addition, the yen once again showed an accelerated depreciation trend. On March 27th, the exchange rate of the yen fell below 1 US dollar to 151.94 yen, the lowest level since July 1990, which became another important factor to boost the current round of Japanese gold prices to record highs.

Analysis: The short-term or long-term correction of gold prices is easy to rise and difficult to fall.

The price of gold has been rising all the way, so what is the future trend of gold price? What should investors pay attention to? Keep looking.

The World Gold Council pointed out in the "Global Gold Demand Trend Report" released a few days ago that the changes in the inflow and outflow of global gold ETF funds reflect investors’ attitude towards gold. In 2023, the inflow of gold ETF in China market was about 5 billion yuan, and the total scale increased to 29 billion yuan, a record high.

Liu Yuxuan, a senior researcher of precious metals in Guotai Junan Futures, said: "In the past 20 years, the international gold price has shown a steady upward trend. From $428 an ounce 20 years ago to the latest March 28th, the international gold price hit a historical high of $2,254 an ounce. In the past 20 years, the price of gold has increased by more than 400%. Compared with other commodities such as copper, crude oil and iron ore, gold has shown a steady upward trend for a long time. "

For the performance of the gold price in the market, many insiders believe that there are still many uncertainties in the short term, which may lead to a short-term correction of the gold price.

Wang Yanqing, chief researcher of precious metals in CITIC Jiantou Futures, said: "The Fed has not confirmed the timing of interest rate cuts, which also brings uncertainty to the future interest rate cuts, but the market is very strong in the expected interest rate cuts, which has brought strong support to gold. At the same time, excessive early trading expectations may also accumulate some risks, which may trigger a short-term correction of gold. "

Liu Yuxuan, a senior researcher of precious metals in Guotai Junan Futures, once again said: "Before the official start of interest rate cuts, the bullish atmosphere of the market for gold was often strong, so we can see that the price of gold has shown an accelerated upward trend recently."

Industry insiders also told reporters that although there is a certain risk of callback in the short term, in the long run, the probability of gold prices continuing to fluctuate and rise is greater.

Wang Yanqing, chief researcher of CITIC Jiantou Futures Precious Metals, said: "In the long run, it is the general trend for the US monetary policy to change from tight to loose, and the superimposed geopolitical risks are increasing. Central banks are continuing to increase their holdings of gold, and the gold market will still be easy to rise and fall."

　　Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission published "Several Opinions on Strictly Implementing the Bidding Laws and Regulations to Further Standardize the Behavior of Bidding Subjects (Draft for Comment)" (hereinafter referred to as "Draft for Comment"). In view of the problems existing in the current bidding market, especially in the field of engineering construction bidding, such as the lack of the tenderer’s main responsibility, various unreasonable restrictions in the bidding market and the fact that market barriers has not been completely eliminated, the Exposure Draft puts forward relevant measures from the aspects of standardizing the performance management and implementing the supervision and management responsibilities. In particular, the opinion draft puts forward that the bidding administrative supervision department should actively rely on the electronic bidding system and use big data and other technical means to focus on cracking down on illegal acts such as suspected manipulation of bidding or lending qualifications, which lead to an abnormally high winning rate.

　　Shall not dismember the contract to avoid bidding.

　　At the end of December 2017, since the revised bidding law was officially promulgated, the overall bidding work in China has been greatly developed in terms of volume and efficiency. However, there are still many problems in the current bidding market, especially in the field of engineering construction bidding. This is manifested in the following aspects: the main responsibility of the tenderee is missing, and all kinds of unreasonable restrictions and market barriers in the bidding market have not been completely eliminated; Avoiding bidding, false bidding, collusive bidding and other illegal situations still exist.

　　To this end, the "Draft for Comment" will focus on strengthening the regulation of the main behavior of bidding and tendering, and emphasize the implementation of the main responsibility of the tenderer.

　　The "Draft for Comment" proposes that the bidding autonomy should be implemented in strict accordance with the law and the compulsory bidding system should be strictly implemented. It is not allowed to evade bidding in any form, such as dismembering the contract, breaking it into parts, recruiting small ones and sending large ones, or fictional classified projects, emergency projects, and using patented technology; It is not allowed to engage in false bidding on the grounds of strategic cooperation, investment attraction, etc., such as "open bidding and secret bidding" and "build first and then recruit"; Not through collective decision-making, meeting minutes, reply opinions, memos and other forms will be legally required to tender the project into negotiation, comparison or direct contracting and other non-tendering methods; It is not allowed to illegally adopt invitation bidding for projects that should be open for bidding; It is forbidden to change the bidding procedures at will, and it is forbidden to directly determine potential bidders, winning candidates or winning bidders by drawing lots, shaking numbers and drawing lots.

　　In order to prevent the problem of "default of the winning bidder" in the bidding process, the Draft for Comment also emphasizes the need to do a good job in reviewing and evaluating the bid evaluation report. The tenderer shall carefully review the written bid evaluation report submitted by the bid evaluation committee, focusing on whether the selection, withdrawal, personnel composition and professional structure of the members of the bid evaluation committee meet the requirements; Whether the bid evaluation committee conducts bid evaluation in accordance with the bid evaluation methods and standards specified in the tender documents; Whether there are random scoring, willful scoring or obvious tendency scoring phenomena such as "human feelings score" and "relationship score"; Whether there is inconsistency in objective index scores or significant difference in subjective index scores; Whether to conduct a detailed review of abnormally low-priced bids or seriously unbalanced quotations; Whether to ask the bidder for clarification, explanation and correction according to law; Whether there is any random rejection of bids.

　　Focus on monitoring professional households accompanying bids

　　The bidding market is an important part of the high-standard market system, and the bidding work is of great significance for giving play to the decisive role of the market in allocating resources, improving the quality and efficiency of resource allocation, improving the efficiency of the use of state-owned funds and preventing corruption. To this end, the "Draft for Comment" proposes to resolutely curb illegal bidding behavior and strictly regulate the behavior of bidders.

　　The "Draft for Comment" stipulates that it is not allowed to lend, borrow or link the qualification bidding; Shall not forge or alter qualifications, qualification certificates or other licenses to defraud the bid; Shall not collude with the tenderee, tendering agency or other bidders in bidding; After winning the bid, the bidder may not give up the bid without justifiable reasons, and the tenderer may not return the bid bond if the bid documents are revoked after the deadline for bidding or the bidder gives up the bid without justifiable reasons.

　　At the same time, it is necessary to use new technologies to accurately target key regulatory targets. The bidding administrative supervision departments at all levels should actively rely on the electronic bidding system and use big data and other technical means to analyze and judge the local bidding market, focusing on "bidding professionals" who have abnormally low bid winning rate, do not bid for the purpose of winning the bid, and are suspected of colluding with bids, and focus on cracking down on "bidding kings" who are suspected of manipulating bids or lending qualifications and other illegal acts that lead to abnormally high bid winning rate.

　　In terms of intensifying the crackdown on illegal activities, the "Draft for Comment" requires administrative supervision departments at all levels to implement "zero tolerance" for illegal activities in bidding and tendering; Strict implementation of the administrative punishment decision must be made public within seven working days, and timely pushed to the public resource trading platform, synchronous publicity to the "credit China" website.

　　The reporter also noted that the "Draft for Comment" intends to squeeze the space of power rent-seeking in the bidding process by promoting the whole process of electronic bidding.

　　Improve trustworthiness, encourage dishonesty and punish.

　　In terms of the implementation of supervision and management responsibilities, the Draft for Comment requires that the professional quality of the bidding industry team should be greatly improved, and that tenderers, bidders, bid evaluation experts, bidding agencies and their employees should correctly establish the value concept of fair competition and merit-based, and enhance professional ethics, professional ability and integrity and self-discipline awareness. Accelerate the construction of a market integrity system that combines administrative supervision, social supervision and industry self-discipline, give full play to the role of industry self-discipline mechanism, and promote the integrity and law-abiding of bidding subjects.

　　At the same time, it is necessary to speed up the construction of credit system in the field of bidding, build a new supervision mechanism based on credit, which runs through the whole life cycle of market participants’ bidding and connects all stages before, during and after, and give full play to the basic role of credit in improving supervision ability and level. Scientifically establish credit evaluation indicators and standards, increase the application of credit evaluation results in bidding evaluation, and further improve the incentive mechanism for bidding and trustworthiness and disciplinary mechanism for dishonesty, so as to provide a strong guarantee for establishing a fair and orderly bidding market and creating a good business environment.

　　In addition, in terms of strengthening the management of agencies and employees, the Draft for Comment clarifies that bidding administrative supervision departments at all levels should strengthen the dynamic supervision of bidding agencies and employees, take the bidding agency behavior as the main content of the "double random and one open" inspection and bring it into the normal management, impose administrative penalties on behaviors that disrupt the market order, such as bid rigging and bid rigging, and punish them for dishonesty according to law. The investigation results should be announced in time and made public according to regulations, and the evaluation results can be used as a tenderer to choose a bidding agency. Encourage the credit evaluation of bidding agencies and the evaluation of professional technical ability of employees, and improve the service ability of bidding agencies.

　　Xiong Wenzhao, a professor at the Law School of Minzu University of China, believes that all kinds of violations of laws and regulations in the bidding activities in the engineering field have extremely adverse effects on the bidding work of construction projects. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to strengthen the relevant responsibilities of bidding subjects and strengthen the management of agencies and employees. An important reason for the endless corruption in the bidding field is unclear responsibility and poor supervision. Therefore, it is very effective to urge the responsible units to establish a list of responsibilities, and clearly define the responsibilities from the weak links such as the preparation of bidding documents, contract performance management, post-bid supervision and inspection, and joint punishment for dishonesty.

On April 17th, CCTV Finance "Economic Half-hour" reported "Three-dimensional Group in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province illegally dumped industrial waste residue to pollute farmland, and the production wastewater was discharged directly into Fenhe River, and CCTV reporters were detained unannounced". In this regard, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment stated in the announcement issued on April 18th that measures have been taken:

First, the joint supervision of the Shanxi Provincial People’s Government requires the Linfen Municipal People’s Government to strictly investigate the illegal sewage discharge behavior of enterprises, the performance of government and regulatory authorities and other issues in accordance with the law, and make them public in a timely manner.

Second, it will jointly punish the listed companies of Sanwei Group with the CSRC. Our department has informed the CSRC of the environmental violation information of Sanwei Group for the first time, and conducted joint investigation and punishment according to the memorandum of cooperation on joint punishment of environmental violations of listed companies.

The announcement also stated that Shanxi Province also attached great importance to this and responded at the first time. The Environmental Protection Department of Shanxi Province set up the "4.17 Report on the Environmental Problems of Shanxi Sanwei Group" and rushed to the scene on the night of the report to supervise, organize forces to conduct on-the-spot investigation on the contaminated site, monitor the waste water and industrial waste residue, and administratively detain two village cadres according to law. At present, various investigations are under way.

Then, why can such a big polluter pollute the environment for a long time and unscrupulously? What is the real problem behind it? Who is acting as their "black protection"?

Cctv review

Shanxi Sanwei Group has been illegally dumping industrial waste residue, polluting a lot of farmland and discharging industrial wastewater directly into Fenhe River, which has brought serious threats to the lives of people in villages along the way. The news media even used "evil deeds" to describe this shocking incident of stealing platoon.

Here, we must ask a few more why!

Do the three-dimensional group leaders, especially the group leaders, know what they are doing?

Sanwei Group is an enterprise that produces hundreds of chemical products such as polyvinyl alcohol, adhesive, benzene and coke. As a listed company with 4.5 billion assets, do you know how to treat the wastewater, carbide slag and fly ash produced by the enterprise?

Calcium carbide slag and fly ash need to be stored in a special yard and managed strictly, and industrial wastewater must be treated in compliance before it can be discharged. However, the three-dimensional group has been dumping industrial waste into the pit without impervious layer for a long time, and the wastewater is also directly discharged into Fenhe River, the mother river of Shanxi Province. Business leaders don’t know whether it is dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty? It is even more terrible if you know it, whether it is directly directed or not.

Why do local governments and environmental protection departments turn a blind eye to sewage discharge?

The media has long noticed that the three-dimensional group has seriously polluted the environment by illegally discharging pollutants.

As early as 2014, China Youth Network reported the fact that "Shanxi Three-dimensional Pollution has been confirmed by the Environmental Protection Bureau for nearly 40 years";

In 2016, national business daily also exposed the news that "Shanxi Sanweicheng environmental protection boss was investigated every year";

In 2017, a survey by China Legal Reporting Network found that Shanxi illegally dumped industrial waste residue to pollute farmland;

In 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection sent eight inspectors to inspect 13 cities, and Sanwei Group was one of the inspected objects.

With such intensive media attention and under the supervision of the Inspector Group of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, how did the local government and environmental protection departments respond and solve the problem? Don’t you turn a blind eye to the media reports and the inspectors of the competent departments? Why do local government departments turn a blind eye to sewage discharge?

Why are village cadres at the grassroots level willing to guard the door for polluting enterprises?

In the interview, the reporter found that the people around him had long complained, but they dared not speak out. The villagers said, there is no need to reflect, which one of the cadres in the village doesn’t know? The real situation is that in the face of the lawless and unscrupulous environmental pollution behavior of enterprises, local village cadres have acted as thugs for polluting enterprises to guard their homes. Villagers and journalists have said a few words and are worried that they will be retaliated.

It can be said that this scene in Hongtong County has reached the point of absurdity. Listed companies are lawless in discharging pollutants, village cadres pay money to guard the hospital, and the Environmental Protection Bureau ignores corporate pollution. Reports from local villagers range from verbal warnings to suffering from skin and flesh. When they talk to reporters, they must worry about retaliation. After repeated media exposure, environmental protection special inspectors, pollution has become increasingly serious. There are too many reasons to answer and too many questions to explain.

Polluting enterprises should be investigated and punished, and the umbrella behind them should be destroyed. At present, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has cooperated with the Shanxi provincial government to supervise the environmental violations of the three-dimensional group, and the local joint investigation team has also been formed. We will be interesting to see who makes the people dare to speak out, who makes the central government’s policies unable to be implemented here, and who makes the national laws unable to be enforced here.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Chongqing, January 28th: The driver of the China-Europe train gantry crane caught a 30-ton "doll" in 1.8 minutes.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Qingbing

　　Zheng Yushuang, 32, is clutching two black control handles with his hands, his back slightly bent, his head and eyes facing downwards, just like an eagle preparing to dive, looking for a suitable point and opportunity. Dozens of seconds later, as he pressed a button forcefully, a huge yellow "paw" slowly fell from the sky. Finally, when the "paw" successfully caught the target in the center of his pupil, he completely relaxed.

　　On January 26th, Zheng Yushuang operated the gantry crane to lift the container in the driver’s cab. Xinhua News Agency reporter Tang Yushe

　　This scene that can’t be distracted for a second will be staged hundreds of times a day in Zheng Yushuang’s work. As a gantry crane driver at China Railway Lianji Chongqing Central Station, Zheng Yushuang described his work as a hardcore version of "catching dolls". However, his goal is not a plush toy, but a container weighing 30 tons.

　　In addition, Zheng Yushuang’s "game room" is only 2 square meters, 16 meters from the ground. He needs to climb six revolving steps to get there. Because the environment around the station is open and uncovered, he sometimes needs to go up against the wind and rain.

　　On January 26th, Zheng Yu climbed the cab of a 16-meter-high gantry crane in both directions. Xinhua News Agency reporter Tang Yushe

　　Although the work is quite challenging, Zheng Yushuang has been the "best player" of this "game" since he first came to work here in 2010. Tuanjie Village Station, where he works, is the starting station of the China-Europe train in Chongqing. Every day, a large number of goods gather here, waiting to be sent to all parts of Europe.

　　Zheng Yushuang works 8 hours a day and can load and unload more than 2,000 containers in a month. It takes about 2 to 3 minutes for others to load and unload a container, while Zheng Yushuang only takes about 1.8 minutes.

　　On January 26th, Zheng Yushuang was on the gantry crane. Xinhua News Agency reporter Tang Yushe

　　"I attended a six-month training course in Dalian before I officially operated the gantry crane. In recent years, with the increase of containers in China and Europe, my technology is also improving. " Zheng Yushuang said that when he first started this job, he often felt bored sitting in this small room because there were not many goods to load and unload at that time. But later, his daily workload increased from 60 containers to 250, and at most 350 containers were loaded and unloaded in one night.

　　In addition to the increase in quantity, Zheng Yushuang also witnessed the changes in the category of goods. At first, the only goods exported from here were printers, laptops and other electronic products. Now toys, clothes, milk powder and other commodities are common. After the COVID-19 outbreak, containers containing medical supplies such as masks and gloves were also shipped to European countries.

　　In 2021, as the first inter-provincial and inter-city cooperation brand of China-Europe Train, China-Europe Train (Chengdu-Chongqing) had a total of over 4,800 converted trains, accounting for about 30% of the national total. The container capacity of CEIBS (Chengdu-Chongqing) exceeds 400,000 TEUs, of which the return journey accounts for more than 50%, and the route has reached hundreds of cities in Europe.

　　Zheng Yushuang was very proud to see the report card of the China-Europe class. "Thinking that these goods will be shipped to Europe, I feel that this job is very meaningful and I feel very fulfilled. During the Spring Festival holiday, I also chose to stick to my job and contribute my meager strength to the smooth operation of the China-Europe train. " Zheng Yushuang said.
