  Nanning, Guangxi: Launching Level 3 Emergency Response to Rainstorm

  China Meteorological News correspondent Zhang Wei reports. From 20: 00 on July 1 to 08: 00 on July 3, there was a heavy rainfall process in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. There were 1 heavy rainstorm, 25 heavy rainstorms, 100 heavy rainstorms, 96 heavy rainstorms and 38 moderate rainstorms in the city. The maximum rainfall occurred in Juqun Village, Liangjiang Town, Wuming District, and the heavy rainstorms mainly occurred in Wuming, Mashan, Qingxiu District of Nanning and the southeast of Hengxian County.

Five questions about mixed transportation of tank cars: where did the oil go? Is it common? How to check? Who is in charge? How to prevent it?

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:Economic observer (id: eeo-com-cn), Author: Aruhan, Xing Qixin, Zhang Ying, Source: vision china.

On July 2nd, The Beijing News published an investigation report entitled "Investigation on chaos in tanker transportation: unloading coal-to-liquids and directly shipping edible soybean oil". The report found that some tankers directly loaded edible oil in two oil companies in Tianjin and Hebei after transporting coal-to-liquids from Ningxia to Tianjin, and shipped them to other places without cleaning the tanks.

The whole incident involved many large enterprises such as China Grain Storage, Huifu Grain and Oil, Arowana and so on, which aroused the concern of the whole society. Although the scope, nature and responsibility of the incident are still inconclusive, the "mixed transport" report that appeared as early as 2005 and 2015 made the society aware that this was not an isolated case, which further aggravated people’s concerns about food safety.

On July 9, the State Council Food Safety Office organized the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, the General Administration of Market Supervision, the State Grain and Reserve Bureau and other departments to hold a special meeting to study, and set up a joint investigation team to thoroughly investigate the problems related to the transportation of edible oil tankers. For illegal enterprises and related responsible persons, they will be severely punished according to law and will not be tolerated. At the same time, we will organize a special investigation of hidden dangers of edible oil. The results of investigation and disposal will be announced in time.

Although the investigation has just begun, layers of stripping incidents, we have to ask:

First, where did the oil involved in the report go? The implicit question is: in which channels may mixed oil appear?

Second, to what extent does this mixed transportation exist? Is it common? This question means whether it is possible for people to avoid mixed transportation of oil.

Third, is there a standard? Is there a loophole in supervision in this field? Is the so-called "lack of mandatory standards" a fact?

The fourth is how to be accountable? Who should be punished, according to what law, and how strong the punishment is.

The fifth is how to avoid it? Punishment is the first step.Some researchers suggest that a "whistleblower system" should be established, so that grass-roots workers can form a game relationship with managers who command illegal activities, and drivers can play this role.

Where did the tanker go?

The trajectory of the fuel tanker Ji E5476W-this car appeared in the video report of The Beijing News-involved more enterprises, including Yihai Kerry Arowana Food Group Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as "Arowana").

The track of the oil tanker circulating on the Internet shows that Ji E5476W was loaded from Hebei Hongrun Oil Industry Co., Ltd. in xinji city, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province on March 22nd.(vegetable oil)After that, it was unloaded at Yihai Kerry in Dongxihu District, Wuhan on March 24th.(Wuhan)Grain and oil industry co., ltd. On June 1, the vehicle was again in Dongguan Fuzhiyuan Feed Protein Development Company, China Textile Grain and Oil Company.(Dongguan)After loading vegetable oil, the company unloaded the goods at Arowana Factory in Xianxing Road, Xianyang on June 4th. Later, on June 5th, the vehicle came to the logistics center of Ningxia Coal Industry Coal-to-Liquid Chemical Sales Branch of ningdong town National Energy Group in Yinchuan to load coal-to-liquid oil.

Arowana confirmed the trip to the Economic Observer Network and explained that the trip to the Wuhan factory was the first transportation after the car was registered, that is, it was in a new car state at the time of shipment; During the trip to Shaanxi factory, before shipment and when loading the factory, the company verified the edible oil mark on its tank body and the pre-loaded written seal certificate in accordance with the requirements of relevant systems, and cleaned and inspected the tank. After passing the inspection, the oil was loaded and sealed before shipment. After the oil products arrived at the factory, the receiving factory verified the lead seal and tested the food safety and quality indicators stipulated by the national standards. The product quality test results all met the relevant national requirements. From loading to unloading, the company formed a complete closed loop, the product indicators fully met the national standards, and the company fully fulfilled its regulatory responsibilities.

butAs of press time, Arowana has not responded to questions such as where the unloaded oil products are used and whether other uses of vehicles are monitored..

Yihai Kerry was introduced in a report released by Wuhan Dongxihu District Media Center and the Foreign Affairs Office of the District Committee in November 2023.(Wuhan)Cereals and Oils Industry Co., Ltd. was established in 2002. The company’s sales in 2022 were nearly 9.7 billion yuan, and from a single oil-squeezing production line, it squeezed 100,000 tons of rapeseed every year. Now its products have covered many fields such as packaging edible oil, rice, flour, feed raw materials, grease technology and so on.

The driving track of Hebei E5476W from March 22nd to July 6th also includes COFCO.(Dongguan)Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. Fangchenggang Aojia Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd., Yuanda Grease(Dongguan)Ltd., Langfang Hongxin Feed Technology Co., Ltd., Hebei Kunpeng Feed Group Cangzhou Co., Ltd., Angel Yeast(Yichang)Co., Ltd. and many other companies, in addition to vegetable oil, coal-to-liquid oil, there are feed particles, fertilizers, suspected hazardous chemicals and so on.

The reporters of Economic Observer Network also called the above-mentioned companies respectively, among which Angel Yeast Co., Ltd. said that the details would be announced after verification with relevant departments. Other companies have not been able to get through.

According to a receipt in the video report of The Beijing News, the receiving unit of the first-grade soybean oil pulled from Huifu Grain and Oil Group is Hebei Logistics Group Metal Materials Co., Ltd.. Official website shows that the company is mainly engaged in the wholesale, retail and import and export of steel, coal, pig iron, coke, mineral products, iron concentrate and other products.

After the incident of unloading kerosene and loading edible oil was reported, Huifu Cereals and Oils Group, which was involved in it, responded that it had nothing to do with its own edible oil brand, but involved bulk customers. According to the information published by WeChat official account of Huifu Cereals and Oils Group quoted by China Business News, Huifu Cereals and Oils Group published a list of some individual customers, including Sanhe Yawang Food, Shanghai Puyao Agricultural Products, Shanghai Kaiye Cereals and Oils, Beijing Century Yuefu, Zhonghe Yufeng Cereals and Oils, Tianjin Huake Technology, Baoding Honghai Cereals and Oils, Fangshun United Cereals and Oils, Shenyang Midtown Supply Chain and other enterprises. It is worth noting that the WeChat official account content has been deleted.

After the oil of Huifu Cereals and Oils Group is transported away by bulk customers, where may it flow and for what purpose?

According to Tianyancha information, Sanhe Yawang Food Co., Ltd. was established in 2017 with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. Its products include edible plant blended oil, sunflower seed oil, finished soybean oil, etc. The specifications include 10 liters, 5 liters/barrel, 1.8L/ bottle, etc. The manufacturer of "Happy Family Edible Oil" sold on some e-commerce platforms is the company.

In addition, there is a public information of the first quarter of 2024 in Wuji County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.(National Standard)It shows that Southwest Feng School in Zhangduangu Town, Wuji County uses 20L/ barrel of finished soybean oil produced by this company.

Another Beijing Century Yuefu Food Co., Ltd. is located in Fangshan District, Beijing, which is mainly engaged in agricultural and sideline food processing industry. The company has convenient food trademarks such as Xiangxiang, Jingxi Yuefu, Mu Ning Huichen and Huisheng.

A "2024 Beijing University Joint Procurement of Food Raw Materials Suppliers (Commodities) Shortlisted and School Winning Candidate Bidding Project Shortlisted Results" released by Beijing University Joint Procurement Center of Food Raw Materials shows that in higher education schools in Beijing,(college)In the tender for rice, flour and edible oil, Beijing Century Yuefu Food Co., Ltd. was among them.

Regarding the use of oil trucks, the final destination and use of the problem oil, the market supervision departments in Tianjin and Langfang all said that they were still under investigation, and the final investigation results were not released as of press time.

Is mixed transportation common?

A carrier who stores grain and oil told Economic Observer that this phenomenon is "a mouse excrement spoils a pot of porridge". The carrier said that large oil companies put great pressure on Party B as its carrier, and set up a strict punishment system at the same time, which reduced the occurrence of large-scale mixed transportation to some extent. However, when oil companies are sellers, it is difficult to restrain the trucks of downstream buyers.

The carrier has seen the way of tank inspection of stored grain oil-the staff will wear white gloves, wipe the joint and the two tank mouths on the tank, smell the pungent smell, and then take pictures to leave marks.

An industry insider in charge of tanker dispatching told Economic Observer that the phenomenon of mixed transportation of chemicals and edible oil had appeared as early as 2000. At that time, some teams or individuals who had run long distances and could not receive orders and did not want to come back empty would do so.

The person in charge of dispatching said that the normal tank inspection process requires the driver to provide the video, receipt and payment screenshot of tank cleaning, and the person in charge of tank inspection will bring the equipment to the scene and go directly to the tank for inspection. However, in order to control the cost, some edible oil companies will acquiesce in the mixed transportation incident. "The company will not be unaware of it, because the coalified oil has a pungent taste, and no matter how it is washed, it may not be completely removed, let alone washed. Moreover, edible oil companies often do not test, and tens of thousands of tons of large storage tanks are directly unloaded when they arrive. "

A person who used to be engaged in the transportation of hazardous chemicals pointed out the reason why drivers used to carry edible oil back home: "Compared with other kinds of chemicals, edible oil is not easy to react with the chemicals left in the tank, which is safer and more convenient for downstream acceptance."

Almost all interviewers mentioned the impact of the downward freight rate on the industry. In recent years, the freight rate of tank cars has been falling, which has approached the cost price. Especially after the implementation of "zero down payment", a large number of new cars poured in, which further intensified market competition and led to further lower freight rates.These vehicles with zero down payment generally bear a higher loan amount, and the monthly repayment amount is generally between 17,000 and 18,000 yuan.

According to what standard?

The Beijing News reported that the GB/T30354-2013 Code for Bulk Transportation of Edible Vegetable Oils, which was implemented in China in 2014, stipulated that special vehicles should be used for bulk transportation of edible vegetable oils. However, this code is only a recommended national standard, not a mandatory national standard, and has limited binding force on edible oil manufacturers.

According to the inquiry of Economic Observer Network, the Food Safety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) has a specific definition of "food safety standards", which refers to "mandatory standards". The national standards for food safety shall be formulated and promulgated by the health administrative department of the State Council in conjunction with the food safety supervision and administration department of the State Council, and the standardization administrative department of the State Council shall provide the national standard number.

Therefore, by Henan University of Technology, Wuhan Institute of Technology, National Grain Bureau Standard Quality Center, Yihai Kerry Grain and Oil(Tianjin)Co., Ltd., COFCO Beihai Grain and Oil Industry(Tianjin)GB/T30354-2013 Code for Bulk Transportation of Edible Vegetable Oil, which was drafted by Shandong Lu Hua Group Co., Ltd. and Shandong Co., Ltd., is not a food safety standard.

At present, the national standards for food safety include National Standards for Food Safety and General Hygienic Standards for Food Production.(GB14881-2013), the national standard for food safety, hygienic standard for food business process.(GB 31621-2014)Hygienic standard for production of edible vegetable oil and its products(GB 8955-2016). These mandatory standards have clearly defined the hygienic requirements related to the storage and transportation of edible oil, for example, special transportation tools should be used to transport food; Means of transport and containers, tools and equipment for loading and unloading food should be kept clean and disinfected regularly; Food transport vehicles shall not transport toxic and harmful substances to prevent food pollution.

Another official of the national food safety standard-setting department told Economic Observer that his department had made a preliminary study on this issue, and believed that the relevant issues were related to the suspected illegal activities of relevant enterprises, and the supervision was not in place. It should be investigated and dealt with in strict accordance with the law and regulations, and supervision should be strengthened.It does not involve the establishment of temporary limit values of pollutants, supplementary inspection methods and no mandatory standards.

According to the detailed rules for the implementation of food safety supervision and sampling inspection(2023 edition)",edible vegetable oil needs to be sampled and tested in production, circulation, catering and other links. Among them, the spot check of bulk edible vegetable oil is specially stipulated. "For bulk edible vegetable oil, the uniformity and representativeness of the sampled products should be considered, and samples should be taken from different parts of the top, middle and bottom of the oil storage tank or tanker and mixed evenly."

After sampling, the inspection agency will issue the inspection results. Whether the edible vegetable oil meets the standard should refer to GB 2762 National Standard for Food Safety, Limit of Pollutants in Food and other standards. However, the types of pollutants listed in GB 2762 National Standard for Food Safety "Limits of Pollutants in Foods" do not include the related ingredients of coal-to-liquid involved in this incident, that is, whether it contains coal-to-liquid is not within the scope of supervision and sampling of edible vegetable oil.

Some people have suggested whether we should consider expanding the types of sampling inspection of edible oil pollutants. In this regard, on July 10, the Economic Observer Network asked the relevant officials of the national food safety standards formulation department, and an official replied: "Normal edible oil should not have mineral oil, and the prevention of edible oil pollution is not to increase testing items, but to prevent pollution caused by illegal transportation. Otherwise, all kinds of vehicles are mixed for illegal transportation, and hundreds of substances may be polluted, so it is impossible to include them in the test.”。

He asked, even if some testing items are added, once the amount of testing is small or the pollutants beyond these testing items can’t be found, can they be considered qualified?

How to be accountable?

How should the behavior of "tanker unloading coal-to-liquid and directly loading edible oil" be held accountable according to laws and regulations?

In this regard, Xu Hao, a lawyer of Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, said that the relevant personnel may bear criminal responsibility for the behavior of "the tanker unloading coal-to-liquid and directly loading edible oil". The law can hold the perpetrator criminally responsible for "producing and selling toxic and harmful food". He said that drivers who use tankers with coal-to-liquid residues to transport edible oil(carrier), the shipper, the receiver and the seller are suspected of constituting the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC).(hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Law)Article 144 "Whoever adulterates toxic and harmful non-food raw materials into the food produced or sold, or sells food knowingly adulterated with toxic and harmful non-food raw materials".

According to Article 144 of the Criminal Law and the Supplementary Provisions of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security on the Standards for Filing and Prosecution of Criminal Cases under the Jurisdiction of Public Security Organs, "producing and selling toxic and harmful food" refers to the act of "mixing toxic and harmful non-food raw materials into food produced and sold, or selling food that is knowingly mixed with toxic and harmful non-food raw materials".

Xu Hao said that in this incident, the cooking oil was mixed with coal-to-liquids that could not be used as food raw materials, which belonged to the mixing of toxic and harmful non-food raw materials into food; Transporters did not clean the storage tanks after unloading coal-to-liquid oil, but directly loaded edible soybean oil to continue transportation, which was subjective and intentional. Therefore, transporters can be held criminally responsible for "producing and selling toxic and harmful food".

How to define "knowing"? Xu Hao introduced that Article 10 of the Judicial Interpretation of Criminal Cases Endangering Food Safety stipulates: "The’ knowing’ stipulated in Article 144 of the Criminal Law should be determined by integrating subjective and objective factors such as the cognitive ability of the actor, the quality of food, the channels for purchasing or selling goods and the price. Under any of the following circumstances, it can be regarded as’ knowing’ as stipulated in Article 144 of the Criminal Law, except that there is evidence to the contrary and it is verified: (1) Having been engaged in the production, planting, breeding, sales, transportation and storage of related foods and edible agricultural products for a long time and failing to fulfill the obligation of ensuring food safety according to law … "

Xu Hao said that the Code for Bulk Transportation of Edible Vegetable Oil GB/T30354-2013 stipulated specific standards for transporting edible vegetable oil. Sellers and buyers who have been operating in this field for a long time(including the transporter), should be aware of the relevant food safety obligations, should know that the transportation of edible oil to ensure the cleanliness of the tank. If it fails to fulfill its relevant obligations, it constitutes "knowing" as mentioned in the judicial interpretation, and it constitutes "producing and selling toxic and harmful food".

According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, those who constitute this crime shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined not less than 50% but not more than two times the sales amount; Whoever causes serious food poisoning accidents or other serious food-borne diseases and causes serious harm to human health shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined not less than 50% but not more than two times the sales amount; Whoever causes death or especially serious harm to human health shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of Article 141 of this Law on the crime of producing and selling counterfeit drugs.

In addition to criminal responsibility, Xu Hao also said that according to the investigation results, the administrative responsibility of relevant personnel should be investigated. The behavior of "tanker unloading coal-to-liquid and directly loading edible oil" violates the Food Safety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC).(hereinafter referred to as "Food Safety Law"), administrative punishment should be imposed.

According to Article 125 of the Food Safety Law, in case of "production and operation of food and food additives contaminated by packaging materials, containers and means of transport", the food safety supervision and administration department of the people’s government at or above the county level shall confiscate the illegal income and food and food additives produced and operated illegally, and may also confiscate tools, equipment, raw materials and other items used for illegal production and operation; If the value of food and food additives illegally produced and operated is less than 10,000 yuan, a fine of 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan shall be imposed; If the value of the goods is more than 10,000 yuan, a fine of more than five times and less than ten times the value of the goods shall be imposed; If the circumstances are serious, it shall be ordered to suspend production or business until the license is revoked.

How to avoid it?

Wang Yue, a professor at the Department of Medical Ethics and Law in Peking University,The key to the implementation of any system is not the intensity of punishment, but the non-immunity, that is, organizations and people who violate the system must be severely punished.. Over time, we can avoid luck and form a belief in the system.

He said that to promote the effective operation of the system, in addition to increasing the supervision of the judicial organs over the power of the administrative organs, the media and the public should also increase the supervision of the administrative power. "Why haven’t you seen such supervision reports for a long time? The supervision of the media should be the woodpecker of society. We need to have the determination of the blade inward, and we should have the confidence of self-reflection and criticism. "

In addition, he also suggested that the whistleblower reward system should be actively established. Illegal acts are often carried out by grass-roots personnel. If the whistle-blower system is established in all supervision fields, the current discovery mechanism will be changed, and the grass-roots personnel will form a game relationship with the managers who command illegal acts.

Wang Yue believes that,In this incident, the driver is the best whistler, and if a reward is set for whistlers, managers will feel scared when directing illegal activities..

Wang Yong, deputy director of the Key Research Center of Service Science and Engineering of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, director and special researcher of China Logistics Society, said that there is no current general specification in the world that explicitly prohibits "transporting edible vegetable oil in mixed tanks", but strict requirements are put forward for the cleaning of oil tanks. In addition, the European Union, the United States, Japan and other advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence are widely used in logistics supervision, which significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of supervision, establishes a comprehensive food traceability system, and realizes the whole process of recording and tracking from the source of production to the final sales, providing a rapid response mechanism for dealing with food safety issues.

He said that although the use of special tanks to transport edible oil may lead to an increase in transportation costs, food safety is the first priority, and circulation costs cannot give way to food safety. From the perspective of food safety, special tank transportation can effectively avoid cross-contamination between different types of oil products, and also help to enhance the overall image of the logistics industry and enhance consumers’ confidence in food safety.

He suggested that government departments should strengthen the supervision of edible oil transportation, severely investigate and deal with violations, and ensure the effective implementation of various standards and requirements.

  "I am a staff member of Xihu Yilianbao, and you have a paper policy to collect." Recently, Qianbao Hour News Client received many readers’ reports in the background, and they all received such "insurance policy" calls.

  Who’s calling? If "Xihu Yilianbao" has an electronic policy, do you still need to get a paper policy? With many questions, Qianbao Hour reporter and a reader, Ms. Li, went to get the insurance policy.

  When it comes to West Lake Yilianbao, people in Hangzhou are familiar with it. It is an inclusive commercial supplementary medical insurance. According to the official introduction, it relays the basic medical insurance in Hangzhou to reimburse serious and serious diseases, especially hospitalization medical expenses, and partially breaks through the restrictions of medical insurance catalogue to provide medical security with a wider scope of responsibility. Spend 150 yuan, you can get a maximum of 3.15 million yuan, and the West Lake benefit guarantee is affordable for everyone, which is a beneficial practical exploration.

  A few days ago, Ms. Li, who lives in Xiasha, Hangzhou, suddenly received a phone call. The other party claimed to be Xiaoyou (a pseudonym), a staff member of "West Lake Yilianbao".

  "You have a paper policy to collect." Xiaoyou said.

  Ms. Li asked: "Can you express it?"

  Xiaoyou replied that it can’t be delivered by express, in order to prevent privacy leakage.

  Ms. Li asked again: "Where can I get it?"

  Ms. Li wondered: "Why did someone ask me to get an insurance policy? Is it a liar?" How did the other party know my name and I bought it ‘ West Lake Yilianbao ’ Even the place where we agreed to meet is in Xiasha? "

  The day before the appointed time, Xiaoyou sent another message, saying that there would be a lucky draw on the day of collection, suggesting that Ms. Li bring her ID card and bank card, so that she could have another lucky draw opportunity. So, the reporter went to the appointed place with Ms. Li.

  Ms. Li spent nearly two hours in the process of getting the insurance policy, of which it only took about twenty minutes to explain "West Lake Yilianbao" and get the insurance policy … …

The difference between long-term, comfortable and easy-going

In the car series of Chang ‘an, Chang ‘an Yida and Yidong PLUS have their own advantages and unique charms:

First of all, let’s take a look at Chang ‘an Yida. Its design is more novel, emphasizing the improvement of grade sense. At the same time, its price is relatively close to the people, which is an ideal choice for consumers who pursue cost performance. In terms of performance, Chang ‘an Yida is equipped with 5T turbocharged engine and matched with 7-speed powershift, which is enough to meet daily household needs, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under WLTC is only 99L, which is quite outstanding.

However, Yidong PLUS is more prominent in space and practicality. As a home choice, it shows a more mature positioning. Although Yida may be a little radical in design, its intelligent concept, such as Changan Automobile’s latest smart collar era design in the world, pays attention to fashion and simplicity, creating a unique visual enjoyment. The front face adopts a brand-new family-style design language, and the fog-gray horizontal air intake grille and chrome-plated decorative strips are embellished, which undoubtedly adds to the texture and taste of the whole vehicle.

逸达

Generally speaking, Chang ‘an Yida and Yidong PLUS are the products of Changan Automobile in different market positioning. Consumers should weigh design, performance and price according to their own needs and budgets to make the most suitable choice for them. Whether pursuing novel design or practicality and cost performance, these two models can provide a satisfying experience.

Fourth, the clinical manifestations of most cases are typical, mainly for fever, herpes, lymphadenopathy and other symptoms.

Standing at the forefront for forty years, Shenzhen’s meteorology has injected surging power into the construction of smart cities.

   China Meteorological News reporter Ding Jiwu correspondent Tang Li Cai Ran 

  "At 14 o’clock on the 17th, the center of tropical depression is located on the ocean surface about 790 kilometers southeast of Shenzhen, and our station has issued a white warning signal for typhoon …" At 16: 30 on August 17th, Shenzhen Meteorological Observatory released tropical depression information.

  On the 18th, the tropical depression in the South China Sea was strengthened into the No.7 typhoon "Haigaosi" this year. At 11: 00 that day, the Shenzhen Meteorological Early Warning and Forecasting Center issued a typhoon risk warning message to the whole city.

  Heavy rain poured down, including subway line 6 and "north-south artery" line 10 with 15 elevated stations and 12 underground stations. Two subway lines, which can be called "science and technology lines" of the city, were opened to traffic on this day.

  "The operation is stable and has not been affected by the typhoon." Xunsheng Chen, director of Dispatching Room 2 of Shenzhen Metro Dispatching Center, told the reporter. "The weather warning reaches the subway operation command center in seconds, so that we can calmly cope with every weather test."

  

  Special Meteorological Service System of Shenzhen Metro

  As early as 2010, Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau established a real-time online subway intelligent meteorological station with the subway industry as a pilot. After 10 years of operation, Shenzhen has not only built the online subway intelligent meteorological observatory into a benchmark for domestic peers, but also achieved full coverage of meteorological support services in eight lifeline industries, including transportation, water supply, power supply, gas supply and sea area. The coverage rate of urban meteorological safety special services in key units is 100%.

  Smart city, guarded by wisdom. Today, the public safety information distribution chain in Shenzhen has achieved vertical connection with the national and provincial levels, and connected 22 categories and 39 items of information such as natural disasters, public health and accidents in 10 (new) districts and 15 departments of the city, which can complete the information distribution operation of 12 types of channels within 3 minutes with one click.

  Integrate into smart cities and make early warning information run faster.

  On the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Pioneer Demonstration Zone in Shenzhen were rolled out in an all-round way and advanced in depth. Accelerate the in-depth application of digital technology and speed up the running under the digital wave. Shenzhen is sketching out the map of "smart city" with scientific and technological brushstrokes, and the first demonstration is full of enthusiasm.

  The improvement of the intelligent level of urban modernization promotes the integration of meteorology into urban development, and also injects new kinetic energy into meteorological reform and development. In the past 40 years, Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau has implemented the requirements of the municipal party committee and municipal government that "the new era is at the forefront, and the new recruits are brave to be the leading soldiers", and has always adhered to the central task of integrating into the overall large-scale network of China Meteorological Bureau to ensure the economic and social development of the SAR and the safety of the city. With the spirit of reform, innovation, opening up and sharing, Shenzhen has continuously optimized its system and mechanism and explored the meteorological development path with Shenzhen characteristics. In recent years, around the requirements of "two-zone" construction, 74 refined service products in seven categories have been launched, which are fully integrated into the construction of smart cities, and the data of urban lifeline industries and meteorological sensitive industries have been introduced, so that meteorological services can be managed by cities and industries. Go out safely.

  

    Meteorological data is integrated with the data of urban lifeline industry and meteorological sensitive industry, and the ability of refined meteorological service is improved.

  Around 2012, the population of Shenzhen exceeded 20 million. How to improve the timeliness of meteorological disaster early warning information and expand the information coverage has become a necessary question. It is not easy to answer this question well: as one of the regions with the highest degree of openness and the strongest economic vitality in China, with high-density passenger flow and high-efficiency economic and social activities, the climate effect caused by urbanization is likely to cause frequent extreme weather in Shenzhen, which directly affects the safe development of the city; On the other hand, the urban expansion and population explosion have given birth to new demands for meteorological services in public safety, economic development and environmental protection.

  Develop difficult problems and innovate to make a fuss. Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau reconstructed the early warning short message publishing system based on the concept of "internet plus" and big data, which can cover 22 million users including roaming users within one and a half hours, and the public coverage rate of early warning information has also increased from 80% in 2012 to 100% in 2019.

  

  Shenzhen’s "two micro-ends" intelligent meteorological service

  

  Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau provides diversified meteorological service products for the public.

  Practice the pioneering spirit and coordinate with the pace of urban development

  From 2012 to 2019, Shenzhen maintained the "double first" in Guangdong Province for eight consecutive years in terms of meteorological modernization evaluation and public meteorological service satisfaction evaluation.

  Let the people living in this land enjoy the best meteorological service, which is the clear goal of the high-quality development of Shenzhen’s meteorological cause-people-centered, ensuring urban disaster prevention and mitigation, management and governance, and meeting the needs of citizens for personalized meteorological services. Adhering to this initial intention, in the past 40 years, meteorological workers in Shenzhen have demonstrated their pioneering spirit to the fullest.

  History will never forget the changes caused by two heavy rains in 1993.

  From June 16 to 17, 1993, the continuous heavy rain caused waterlogging in many places in Shenzhen, and the city stopped for a time; On the evening of September 25th, the rainstorm didn’t stop all night, with 130,000 people affected by the disaster and a direct economic loss of 764 million yuan.

  Two consecutive rainstorms in a year have had a great impact on Shenzhen. At that time, there were no cities in China that issued meteorological disaster warning signals, except for some coastal ports that hung coastal typhoon signals to defend against typhoons and strong winds at sea (mainly used by shipping and fishermen).

  Make compensation for disasters with greater progress. In the second year, Shenzhen took the lead in launching the meteorological disaster early warning signal in China, and the first meteorological disaster early warning signal system in China was born. In 2005, the Emergency Plan for Meteorological Disasters in Shenzhen was issued, and it began to be integrated into the social governance system in 2010. The "Shenzhen Model" of meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation with four levels of linkage of city, district, street and community gradually took shape.

  

  In 1994, Shenzhen first issued a rainstorm warning signal.

  On July 18, 2007, Shenzhen launched the early warning of meteorological disasters, which is a brand-new attempt at home and abroad. Shenzhen is long and narrow from east to west, and the weather in different regions is very different. The practice of "unified forecasting, early warning in different regions, key tips and point-to-point broadcasting" has effectively improved the accuracy and coverage of early warning and forecasting, and has been included in the national meteorological modernization index reference project.

  

  Zoning early warning system of meteorological disasters independently developed by Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau

  In 2010, taking the opportunity of the guarantee of meteorological services for the Universiade, Shenzhen launched the 0-to 3-hour rainfall and temperature forecast in all streets of the city, and launched the first pilot project of standardization of meteorological services in China. This innovative attempt once again radiated the power of generate, and was named by China Meteorological Bureau as "Shenzhen Model of Fine Forecast Service for Big Cities", which was popularized throughout the country.

  In 2019, the short-term extreme rainfall of "4.11" exposed the meteorological vulnerability of short-term defense boards and high-density cities. Drawing lessons from a bitter experience, the Municipal Meteorological Bureau and the Municipal Emergency Management Bureau jointly issued the Risk Warning of Major Meteorological Disasters in Shenzhen, which was updated year by year, marking the change from meteorological warning to risk warning. The Regulations on Issuing Meteorological Disaster Warning Signals in Shenzhen, which is planned to be revised in 2020, will further consolidate the linkage mechanism of grass-roots defense and the "four stops" mechanism of high-level early warning.

  Construction schedule of meteorological detection equipment in Shenzhen

  Shenzhen has actively integrated into the overall layout of the national meteorological industry and formed a "4+N" meteorological science and technology innovation model: Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Meteorological Monitoring and Early Warning Center, National Climate Observatory, Shenzhen Southern Key Laboratory of Strong Weather Research, CNAS Lightning Laboratory, and four scientific and technological engines support the high-quality development of meteorological undertakings in Shenzhen in the future; Establish strategic cooperative relations with "n" national business units and local high-tech enterprises, and draw wisdom and leverage to jointly integrate the latest scientific and technological achievements into meteorological applications.

  

  On November 30th, 2009, Xiyong Observatory, one of the top ten livelihood projects in the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, was completed and put into use.

  

  In June 1987, a corner of the observation field and garage of Shenzhen Meteorological Observatory.

  From the three louver boxes at the beginning of the station to the modern meteorological monitoring system with more and more "magic weapons", a network fully senses the weather changes; From early rough recording and manual collection to real-time sharing of weather and climate integrated intelligent platform with data as the main line, including automatic weather tracking, grading tips, human-computer interaction, rapid production and climate prediction and evaluation, intelligent meteorology is deeply integrated into the city; From "shouting wheat" in the streets, to one-click release of emergency warning information covering 12 categories and 33 distribution channels of traditional media and new media, the public coverage of early warning information has increased to 100%. Over the years, Shenzhen meteorological industry has adhered to quality leadership and innovation drive, and made great achievements in meteorological modernization.

  

  Shenzhen Emergency Warning Information Release System   

  In order to let the people enjoy better service, it is necessary to further refine the forecast level. In order to solve the key technical problems of forecasting, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Meteorological Monitoring, Early Warning and Forecasting Center was established in due course. Shenzhen can be said to be the place with the densest radar and the densest automatic stations in China. However, the more data, the more difficult it is to process after entering the mode. "In the huge system of numerical forecasting, data assimilation is the most difficult bone. The goal of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Meteorological Monitoring and Early Warning Center is very clear, that is, to come up with the best data assimilation system in numerical forecasting." Mao Xia, deputy director of Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau, said.

  The Outline of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan puts forward that we should make full use of modern information technology to realize the intelligent management of urban agglomerations; It is necessary to build an efficient and scientific meteorological disaster prevention and control system, improve the ability of the whole society to prevent and control natural disasters, and ensure the construction of smart urban agglomerations in Greater Bay Area. The construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Meteorological Data Center will provide better meteorological support services for the joint defense of meteorological disasters, road traffic, sea routes and air travel of Greater Bay Area world-class urban agglomerations.

  "We have been climbing the hill." Wang Yanqing, director of the Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau, said that the fundamental purpose of smart weather service smart city construction is not to make the city "tall", but to make technology truly serve the general public, serve the high-quality development of the city, make urban governance more refined, and make people’s lives better.

In the TV series Nothing But Thirty, there is such a "famous scene".

In order to pay for his son’s high equestrian tuition, Gu Jiayi gritted his teeth and took out a limited edition Hermes bracelet and sold it to a Chinese and ancient luxury store. In a blink of an eye, this bracelet appeared on another lady’s wrist.

One is Gu Jia, a new member of the wife circle who is eager to open up the situation and sell luxury goods, and the other is Yu, an old member of the wife circle who buys second-hand luxury goods with limited living expenses. The truth and hypocrisy unknown in the wealth circle are staged in this store.

The medieval luxury store in the play is a benchmark medieval store Vintage Musevie in China. Liu Yi, who founded the brand, witnessed too many hidden rich stories in nine years.

At the beginning of the epidemic, Liu Yi was also quite flustered. Under the control of epidemic prevention, her store could not open for almost a month and a half. In order not to lose contact with customers, Liu Yi stepped into the live broadcast and showed everyone around the store, and then he started the live broadcast with goods.After counting last year’s accounts, the performance has increased fivefold.

When the reporter of national business daily met Liu Yi, she was inspecting Chengdu and selecting a new store. In just one year, online and offline stores with the concept of medieval and second-hand luxury (referring to "second-hand luxury") have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.This niche industry, which has been hidden under the iceberg for a long time, has entered a period of blowout growth under the catalysis of the epidemic.

Explosive out of the circle

After studying in Japan and returning to Shanghai to start a business for nine years, Liu Yi was deeply touched by the changes in the warmth and coldness of the domestic medieval market. When she made the store bigger and moved to a new store for the first time, in order to expand her influence, she invited some fashionable kols to visit the store. "It was still very difficult at that time. At that time, people didn’t quite understand what the Middle Ages were, saying that it was just selling junk?"

In the process, there are also a group of customers or KOL who know very well. Coupled with the help of Little Red Book, Tik Tok Live and TV series, Liu Yi’s shop became the punching place in online celebrity.

In fact, the medieval industry has been sprouting in China for more than ten years. Especially since 2016, with the promotion of social media, young consumers in China have learned more about second-hand luxury goods.In 2020, the epidemic situation and live e-commerce will become the key variables to stimulate the industry to go out of the circle.

Off-line, on the street just a few hundred meters outside the Taikooli business circle in Chengdu, you can see the middle-aged shops and second-class luxury shops that are clustered together.

According to Qixinbao’s data, in China, the number of enterprises with the key words of medieval/second-hand luxury goods/medieval luggage/luxury goods recycling and consignment increased by 1,912 in 2020, the highest number in a decade. The fiery momentum continued until 2021, with 1,211 new ones in just half a year. As of August 3rd, there were 9,758 related enterprises in China in the Middle Ages.

Online, open a short video or e-commerce platform, enter the words "Medieval" and "Second-hand Luxury", and a wide variety of live broadcasts and anchor accounts of "XX Medieval Warehouse", "XX Medieval Japan" and "XX Luxury Goods" will be quickly available.With the help of e-commerce platform and short video platform, a large number of purchasing companies have launched live purchasing of second-hand luxury goods overseas.

During the epidemic, Brandear, a 17-year-old online platform in Japan, has further expanded its user scale. The CEO of the company, Kenichi Xiantou, said in an interview with every reporter: "The epidemic has accelerated the development of second-hand luxury e-commerce, especially offline auctions, which have greatly affected many enterprises, so the auctions for industry enterprises are gradually becoming Internet-oriented."

Every reporter learned in an interview that most of these purchases have no physical goods, and they often sell through cooperation with Japanese medieval stores and get commissions.

 

"We have lived in Japan for 17 years. At first, my wife and I used our leisure time to go to some local medieval shops or auctions to find second-hand luxury goods and sell them to customers in China. In 2015, we tried to broadcast live on the e-commerce platform in China, first at home, but not only did we have to hoard goods, but there were not many kinds of choices for fans. Therefore, since 2018, we have reached cooperation with several medieval stores in Tokyo to broadcast live in physical stores at a fixed time. " Lv Mo, a well-known anchor of second-hand luxury goods purchasing, told every reporter that now, he and his wife are working full-time on live purchasing in the Middle Ages, and they have also recruited four or five China students.

Lu Mo’s three live accounts have accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans. Among them, the number of fans and viewing activity of the medieval package account is the highest, which can attract tens of thousands of people to watch even on weekdays. "Our team is just like going to work, and we have to broadcast live for at least 6 hours almost every day." Lu Mo said,"Last year’s epidemic, a fan bought more than 20 bags, and the most expensive one was more than 170,000."

Where does the bag come from?

“‘ Medieval ’ The word originated in Japan. At the peak of Japan’s economy in the 1980s, the purchase of luxury goods became a national trend. The number of LV bags held was as high as 14 per capita, which ensured the prosperity of Japan’s second-class luxury industry on the supply side, and a number of industry famous stores emerged. " Zeng Meijia, former international minister of Japan Luxury Association, told every reporter.

Auction house is an important channel for Japanese second-hand luxury stores to trade goods. Zeng Meijia noticed that about five years ago, it was basically Chinese who went in and out of the auction house. Many China merchants who do medieval purchasing take goods from Japanese auction houses or Japanese medieval shops and then sell them to China consumers; There are also some merchants in China medieval shops who regularly purchase goods from Japanese auction houses.Japan was the main source of the supply side of China’s medieval market.

Even on weekdays, there is a long queue at the entrance of the medieval store.

At present, the goods channels in China’s medieval market have increasingly come from China, and the rapid development of China’s economy has precipitated a huge amount of luxury goods among the people.

"I think the amount of luxury goods is absolutely enough. As long as you go to tap the customers around you, everyone will always buy brand-name bags. Even if they haven’t bought bags, they will always buy rings and necklaces." Liu Yi said, "And some people have bought a room full of designer bags.This is the luxury consumption ‘ 28 principle ’ Eighty percent of luxury goods were bought by twenty percent of customers."

Not long ago, Liu Yi’s team came to collect the goods, and a lady had a special clothes and bags store in Lujiazui.house. "After going in, I found that the house was full of Chanel suits. On that day, just Hermes Birkin bags, we took back thirty or forty. "

One end is connected to the buyer, and the other end is connected to the seller. Liu Yi made her medieval store realize "self-circulation". She doesn’t have to go to the Japanese medieval store or other peers to receive the goods. The goods sold in the store come from the consignment or recycling of individual customers.

Different from other medieval stores’ marketing ideas of encouraging buyers to come and spend,Liu Yi thinks that the seller is the group that should be instigated and maintained."I think there is no shortage of buyers and customers. As long as it is good in color and good in price, there must be no shortage of people to buy it. But how to motivate people to sell their own things does have a ‘ Education ’ The process. "

"I often tell them that the bag is lying idle, so it’s better to sell it, realize it, and exchange it for something you like better ‘ Break away ’ It is also an arrangement of your own heart. " Liu Yi said, "But they won’t trust you until they have established a bond with them. Therefore, some of the details described in the circle of Chinese wives in Nothing But Thirty are very real. Perhaps one of the wives came into contact with the Middle Ages because of a certain thing, and then brought the whole circle of wives to this industry. "

Who is buying two luxuries?

1840928216165609472.png

Things are rare and precious, and feelings are kinder because of old age. In today’s China, on the demand side, it is no longer just for the sake of economic conditions to buy luxury goods.

When interviewing the chairman of BRAND OFF, a medieval company with the most complete Hermè s inventory in Japan, he told every reporter: "In recent years, thanks to the upsurge of traveling to China, we have had the consumption of overseas tourists in a single month. When the proportion exceeds 50% of the overall turnover, many Japanese tourists come to buy our goods every day."

In Yamauchi’s view, the consumption trend and demand of second-hand luxury goods in China in the past were relatively simple, such as the feeling of "starting with high-end luxury goods at low prices". In recent years, consumer demand has changed to "want to start with the unique fashion items in the world that can reflect personality".

"In recent years, the development of China’s consumer market has been very good, GDP has maintained a high growth rate, CPI has steadily increased without skyrocketing, and it has been controlled very healthily. The main force of social consumption is younger, which has also greatly changed the original consumption habits and life concepts. All kinds of specific data changes are favorable conclusions for the growth of the medieval market. Through analysis, we have gradually formed our confidence in the China market and have already felt the charm of the China market. " Hong Xu, president of RECLO Medieval District, the largest online trading platform for luxury goods in Japan, told every reporter.

"Since the opening of the business in China in 2016, the proportion of sales in China is not the highest in RECLO’s overall business, but the development is the fastest." Hong Xu added, "The China market will definitely become the largest medieval market in the world."

From the perspective of regional distribution of consumers, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Chongqing are the four popular cities to buy second luxury goods.

Further analysis of consumer portraits, Liu Yi believes that consumers who buy medieval are mainly divided into three categories, one is white-collar workers or students who are aiming at the price advantage of luxury, the other is lovers who like to collect classic medieval styles, and the third is demanders of scarce high-end goods. "As seen in Nothing But Thirty, for example, she just wants to buy a rare Hermes platinum bag, which costs millions in the specialty store, and she still needs to wait for half a year, and she has to meet very strict distribution conditions before she can buy it. Come to us and help them find a way to help them ask our customers. It is also fast and the price may be appropriate. These have been realized many times. "

The price of premium

Many interviewees admitted to every reporter that when they first entered the medieval circle, most of them held the mentality of "spending the price of a luxury brand and buying a big-name bag", but in the continuous purchase, many people discovered the investment value of medieval goods.

"There was a pit in the Middle Ages, where junior players bought bags and advanced players bought watches and out-of-print ornaments." After more than five years, Xiaoying has achieved "advanced". "When I bought more, I found that the Middle Ages were highly collectible.At the beginning of 2020, I spent 3600 yuan to buy a Chanel medieval brooch, but just yesterday, I saw the same one (brooch) sold for 9800 yuan when I was visiting a Chinese antique shop."After a year and a half, a small brooch has nearly tripled, which makes Xiaoying a little excited.

"LV is a 1940 box, just 80 years ago, but the value is as high as about 300,000 yuan." Zeng Meijia gave an example to every reporter. Over the years, Zeng Meijia has searched for limited edition or out-of-print medieval goods for many celebrities and star assistants. "For example, alma’s oversized presbyopia has almost no trace on the market because of its extremely short release time and nearly 10 years since its release. The only rare one or two, the price is also rising, and the newer color is hard to find. "

"Sometimes you can’t save money as fast as it goes up in price." Zeng Meijia told every reporter that scarcity makes old luxury goods more precious. "A wooden box handbag on the runway show of CHANEL Fashion Week in 1996 was about five or six thousand RMB a few years ago, but now the market price is as high as 60 thousand, and it will be even rarer in the future."

The high premium brought by speculation is also a double-edged sword for the medieval industry.

"The price of the Middle Ages in China has risen a bit." Lei Zhao, a buyer of medieval luxury goods, told every reporter that the price increase of second-hand luxury goods was particularly obvious this year. "Take the Chanel glazed ear clip worn by Angel in" Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 2 ".Although it was expensive before, it basically remained at 6,000 ~ 8,000 yuan. Now, after being caught on fire by Angel, the price has soared, and a very small one will cost more than 20,000."

The same is true of medieval Bao. "In late 2016, I bought a Kelly bag from LV for 3,300 yuan. In April this year, I saw the same bag in a medieval shop in online celebrity. The color was not as good as the new one I bought. My expectation was more than 6,000 yuan, but the clerk told me to ask for 9,900 yuan … … And this price was quickly dropped by seconds. " Lei Zhao sighed, "God! The premium in the Middle Ages was really too high, and the pricing standards of each store were different. Everyone thinks that fun is going to follow suit and the price is too high. "

A senior salesman of a medieval store in Chengdu admitted to every reporter that the increasingly expensive medieval store is definitely not what the seller wants to see. "If you continue to be expensive, the business in the Middle Ages will be hard to do. Everyone will think that this price can be bought new, so I really hope that the market price will not rise again. "

Big capital strikes

In addition to premium and pricing issues, every time a reporter visited the site, he also found that some shops in the Middle Ages were selling big-name unpacked goods (unpacking, that is, the bags of brands such as LV were split and made into small bags or ornaments). "Strictly speaking, unpacking is not a second-hand luxury. As long as you have touched a nail on it, it is not genuine." Zeng Meijia told every reporter, but it is not easy for ordinary consumers to distinguish.

"We think the challenge is to make consumers trust and buy without worry. Because the value of commodities is high, and it is also a commodity group with concentrated intellectual property rights. At present, this industry is an emerging industry in China, and disorderly competition, market chaos or objective existence will all affect the long-term healthy development of this industry. " Xu Hong also told every reporter,The medieval difficulty in operating online is that,"How to reassure consumers, buy and sell with confidence, and establish honest business standards".

In every fast-growing industry, opportunities and risks coexist, which is the moment when big capital races around.

Kering, the leader of luxury brands, has already seen the potential of the second-hand market in the past two years. In 2020, it will directly acquire a 5% stake in Vestiaire Collective, the largest second-hand luxury website in Europe. According to Reuters, kering’s acquisition has valued Vestiaire Collective at more than $1 billion. Kering CEO said: "Today’s second-hand luxury goods are a potential and stable future trend, especially for young consumers."

In the field of second-hand luxury e-commerce, in the past two years, domestic second-hand luxury trading platforms such as Hongbulin, Pang Hu.com, Jueer and Feiyu have obtained financing of over 100 million yuan.

Domestic e-commerce giants seized their track in the medieval market by cooperating with famous shops in the Middle Ages. In this year’s "618" shopping season, the old Japanese medieval luxury store "Daikokuya Daikokuya" settled in Koala, and three famous Japanese medieval stores, RECLO, Brandear and BRAND OFF, successively settled in Tmall International.

"Overseas brands have laid out the second-hand luxury goods market in China through Tmall International, because for many brands, we are the ones who entered the China market ‘ Touchstone ’ 。” Dong Wen, general manager of Tmall International Fashion, told every reporter.

It is estimated that by 2025, China is expected to become the largest luxury market in the world.We are very optimistic about the development potential of the medieval luxury goods industry, and believe that the medieval market will be a new growth point of the domestic luxury goods market in the future. "Dong Wen said. According to the industry data, the China Second-hand Luxury Market Development Research Report 2020 shows that the scale of the second-hand luxury market in China accounts for only 5% of the whole industry. Compared with the proportion of 20% or even 30% in developed countries, the domestic second-hand luxury market has great development potential.

Reporter’s Notes |

Not just buying secondhand goods.

It is also the story behind buying old things.

Medieval luxury stores are a good place to meet stars. Yang Mi once visited a medieval shop and "stayed for almost half a day". Elaine Zhong is also a fan of antique earrings collection. She once shared on social media: "You never know who the last owner of antique earrings is and what kind of story they have."

Different from similar brand stores, a series of characteristic medieval stores carefully created by shopkeepers are accompanied by irreplaceable "aesthetic output" attributes. Chanel bag is lying in the bathtub at the corner of the spiral staircase, and when the drawer is opened, it is full of antique necklaces … … These ingenious designs make medieval luxury stores the punching places in online celebrity. For young consumers, visiting these stores is like visiting a fashionable grandmother’s private closet.

The bosses of medieval luxury stores said, "What you buy in medieval times is not only the cost performance, but also the story behind it." Now think about it, this sentence is not only the marketing words of merchants, but also a widely accepted consumption concept — — Pay for the culture behind the material.

The "Middle Ages Fever" is not a simple social phenomenon, but the change of social consumption demand point after China’s economic development reached a certain level. In this era, it is not simple commodities that make people pay the bill, but the spiritual and cultural values contained in the depths of commodities.
