　　[Global Times special correspondent Liu Haoran] The United States will use Rhode Island as a "pilot" to open a legal drug injection center, which has recently triggered a heated debate in that country. Many critics say that this move is tantamount to "doing the wrong thing" and making the problem of drug crimes more serious.

　　According to media reports such as The Wall Street Journal, in July this year, Rhode Island passed a bill to allow local "addicts" to use illegal drugs and drugs under the guidance of designated places and medical staff, which pushed the legalization of drug abuse in the United States to a new height.

　　Not only that, the state recently launched a two-year pilot program to set up the first legal "drug injection center" in the state, and the relevant management regulations and site selection of the center are expected to be completed in March 2022.

　　At present, American officials refer to such places as "Safe Injection Center" (SCS), and some media also refer to them as "Drug Injection Guidance Center" or "Drug Overdose Prevention Center". Addicts who patronize such places can bring their own drugs and drugs and inject them under the guidance of on-site staff.

　　In addition to "drug abuse guidance", such places can also provide "patients" with physical examinations to detect whether they are infected with AIDS or other diseases due to drug abuse.

　　During the COVID-19 outbreak, as many as 96,000 people in the United States died of drug overdose. Members who proposed this pilot program said that the son of a good friend died of drug overdose during the epidemic, prompting him to realize the necessity of setting up SCS. "This reflects the humanitarian spirit." At present, Massachusetts and California are also considering "follow-up".

　　The American news website "Marijuana Moment" said that Biden’s government is "open-minded" to SCS. The website quoted Becerra, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, as saying that the federal government departments will not prevent States from opening so-called "safe injection centers". He also said: "Even if we can’t stop a person from becoming an addict, at least we can save them before they take drugs."

　　In the American media, Rhode Island’s move has caused fierce controversy. Supporters believe that the establishment of SCS can effectively prevent accidental death caused by drug overdose. Opponents say that such institutions will lead to a soaring crime rate. It is understood that heroin and other drugs are contraband in Rhode Island, but the "Drug Injection Center" openly encourages addicts to take such drugs, which is tantamount to providing a "shelter" for drug criminals. On social media, many netizens said that the ultimate destination of addicts should be drug rehabilitation centers or prisons, rather than using taxpayers’ money to make them "take drugs healthily".

　　As one of the key groups to increase income, skilled talents ushered in the first wave of "salary increase" in the beginning of the year!

　　The reporter learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently issued the Guidelines for the Salary Distribution of Skilled Talents. The Guidelines guide enterprises to highlight the recognition of innovative labor of skilled elements and skilled personnel, and put forward specific suggestions on salary system, post salary, performance salary, allowance unit, medium and long-term incentive design, etc.

　　How to define skilled talents? What is the change in salary distribution? The official interpretation is coming!

　　Concern 1: How to define skilled talents?

　　"Skilled talents" as mentioned in these Guidelines refers to those who are engaged in skill operation in the front line of production or service.

　　According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, there are more than 200 million skilled workers in China, accounting for 26% of the total employment from 20% in previous years, of which more than 50 million are highly skilled, accounting for 28% of the total skilled personnel.

　　Concern 2: What are the guiding objectives and positioning?

　　In order to better serve China manufacturing and China creation, we will further implement the strategy of strengthening the country through talents and driving development through innovation, and promote enterprises to establish and improve the wage distribution system that conforms to the characteristics of skilled talents.

　　The Guidelines adhere to the principle of distribution according to work and participation in distribution according to factor contribution, reflect the value distribution orientation of those who work more and those with high skills get more, and reasonably evaluate the contribution of skill factors.

　　The "Guidelines" are not mandatory, but instructive. It highlights the policy orientation that the salary and treatment of skilled personnel are consistent with the interests of enterprises, and will not increase the burden on enterprises. It is a concrete measure for the government to provide guidance services for wage income distribution. Perfecting the enterprise wage distribution system that conforms to the characteristics of skilled talents is helpful to mobilize the enthusiasm of skilled talents, realize the best use of talents and promote the healthy development of enterprises.

　　Concern 3: What is the specific wage structure?

　　According to the factors of paying for post, ability and performance, the salary structure of skilled talents can be composed of post salary unit, ability salary unit and performance salary unit which reflect the value of post.

　　The person in charge of the Labor Relations Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that in terms of the design of post salary units, the Guidelines follow the general principles of post evaluation and propose that the evaluation elements and their weight arrangements should reflect the characteristics of skill operation posts. At the same time, guiding enterprises to implement broadband salary will help skilled talents with better performance to achieve reasonable wage growth.

　　In the aspect of performance pay unit design, it provides operational suggestions that meet the performance characteristics of skilled talents for performance appraisal cycle, individual piece work and team work. The Guidelines guide enterprises to establish a linkage mechanism with enterprise benefits, departmental performance and performance appraisal results of skilled personnel themselves.

　　The Guidelines also point out that, according to the needs, multi-functional allowance or post allowance can be set to encourage people to learn more skills and develop into compound talents.

　　Concern 4: How does salary distribution encourage skilled talents?

　　The person in charge of the Labor Relations Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that in terms of the salary distribution system, enterprises should be guided to highlight the recognition of innovative labor of skill elements and skilled talents.

　　The Guidelines suggest that for skilled talents, a post performance salary system based on post value, ability and quality, and performance contribution can be established to strengthen the incentive orientation of skill value. At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to implement annual salary system, agreed salary system and special incentives for skilled talents, especially high-skilled leading talents, and explore the implementation of medium and long-term incentives.

　　Concern 5: What career development channels are there for skilled talents?

　　The Guidelines adhere to the matching of career development design and salary distribution, implement the parallel setting and mutual connection of post growth and rank channels, and put forward suggestions on the operation of growth channels in career cycle in combination with the law of talent growth, so as to promote the formation of stable expectations that skilled talents can also develop professionally and grow into experts within enterprises.

　　According to the Guidelines, for those who master key operation skills, represent a high level of professional skills, and can organize technical renovation projects, their salary level can reach the higher salary level of engineering and technical personnel, or equivalent to the salary level of middle-level management positions, and the salary of industry leaders can be comparable to that of high-level experts in engineering and technology and senior management posts in enterprises.

The National Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a non-profit organization in the United States, recently released a statistical report jointly with Ecos Consulting, which summarized the power consumption of major game consoles in detail for the first time, and called on manufacturers to strengthen the energy-saving design of products, and players should also try their best to put the game consoles into standby state when leaving.

According to the report,More than 40% of households in the United States have at least one game machine, which consumes about 16 billion kWh of electricity every year, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of San Diego. If the principle technology of electric tube is fully turned on, it can save about 11 billion kWh of electricity every year, that is, 1 billion US dollars, and at the same time reduce more than 7 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Among the three new generation hosts, PS3 and X360 are big power consumers. If they are turned on all day, the power consumption in one year is equivalent to two new refrigerators.If users can turn off PS3 or X360 when they leave, the annual electricity bill can be reduced from $10.3-16 billion to $1.1-1.5 billion.(It varies according to the model and version of the game machine). In addition, the Wii itself consumes little power, but it can reduce the electricity bill from $1 billion to $300 million without shutting down immediately.

If manufacturers can use some simple power management techniques, such as automatically entering the standby energy-saving state after being idle for one or three hours, the electricity and electricity bills saved throughout the year will be considerable.

In order to illustrate the huge energy-saving potential of the game machine market, the report also makes special statistics on the sales volume of game machines in the United States and the installation volume and share of major game machines from 2002 to 2007.

There are 11 game consoles (including different versions) participating in the test, and their power consumption is very low in standby state. For example, GC is only 0.7W, and X360 in 2007 is only 3.1W, while it consumes a lot of power in idle state. For example, PS3 in 2006 is as high as 181W, and X360 in 2005 is also 162W W. Fortunately, Sony and Microsoft have updated their products many times, and these two data entered 2007.

However, compared with the old generation products such as Xbox, PS2 and PS, the power consumption of the new console has increased significantly, especially for Sony, which quadrupled from PS to PS2 and soared five or six times from PS2 to PS3.

In terms of power consumption alone, Nintendo is undoubtedly the best performer.The latest Wii idle power consumption is only 10.5W, far lower than that of PS3 and X360, and less than half of that of the predecessor GC.

As for the power consumption in the running state, it is similar to that in the idle state.The most obvious version of X360 in 2005 is only 10W, and the PS2 is not bad at all, both idle and fully loaded are 24.2W. This once again proves how important it is to enable power management technology.

　　Editor’s note:

　　Some people think that Covid-19 will be like seasonal flu, and it will gradually disappear after the weather gets warmer, but some experts say it is too early to expect the weather to get warmer and curb the spread of coronavirus.

　　From an authoritative point of view, Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s health emergency project, said,Can’t count onCovid-19 will be like the flu virus.Disappear on its own in summer. Ceng Guang, an epidemiologist, also stressed that whether it was SARS 17 years ago or the current novel coronavirus, theirDisappearing depends on prevention and control, not climate.

　　With the warmer weather, will Covid-19 "die down"? How to judge the fate of Covid-19? Can climatic conditions affect the survival of Covid-19? Invited by China Association for Science and TechnologyShu Yuelong, Chairman of Virology Branch of Chinese Medical Association and Dean of School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University (Shenzhen)Answer for everyone.

▲ Covid-19 images taken by scanning and transmission electron microscope.

　　Shu Yuelong saidThe main reason why the virus will disappear in summer is based on the understanding of the superficial phenomenon of SARS epidemic in 2003, because SARS in 2003 was announced by the World Health Organization in July of that year, and the SARS virus did not appear again. However, we should not forget that when the SARS epidemic broke out that year, the whole world, especially China, also took strong prevention and control measures, including quickly finding cases for isolation, tracking the close crowd of each case for isolation and medical observation, etc., before the epidemic was successfully prevented and controlled.

　　The rising temperature may have a certain impact on the survival of the virus under natural conditions.For example, in temperate regions every summer, the low influenza activity is proof. Therefore, it is speculated that the rising temperature in summer mayReduce the epidemic intensity of the epidemic, butIt is unlikely to disappear naturally..

　　Novel coronavirus, which caused the epidemic, belongs to the same kind of virus as SARS virus, with some similarities, and the gene homology is about 80%. Using the same cell receptor ACE2, its original natural hosts may be bats.

　　However, there are many differences between them. For example, novel coronavirus is different from SARS virus in clinical manifestations, and SARS patients are mainly severe, so we can easily find SARS patients. However, patients in COVID-19 range from asymptomatic infection, mild pneumonia, pneumonia to severe pneumonia, and critically ill patients also show various clinical manifestations such as systemic multiple organ injury, and asymptomatic infection may also become the source of infection, which increases the difficulty for us to find the source of infection. The SARS epidemic is mainly caused by hospital infection and some super communicators, so it is easy to implement containment strategy; However, the COVID-19 epidemic has spread widely in communities around the world, which makes it more difficult to implement containment strategies.

　　At present, the economic, cultural and political systems of different countries are different, so it is difficult to reach a unified prevention and control strategy, and it is difficult to avoid the global epidemic of the virus.

　　Shu Yuelong judged that there are several possibilities for the fate of the virus:

　　First, the virus is only prevalent in the population, but its virulence is weakened, which only causes common cold symptoms in the population, similar to coronaviruses such as 229E and OC43 that are prevalent in the population.

　　Second, this winter has come back, and its pathogenicity and transmission have not changed significantly. However, with the improvement of the immune level of the population, the epidemic situation has gradually weakened, and the threat to people’s health has become less and less. It is expected that the vaccine will be successfully developed before the arrival of this winter, and the disease burden will be reduced and even its epidemic will be controlled by vaccination.

　　Third, the virus is not only popular among people, but also can spread to other animals across species. According to the distribution of ACE2 receptors, many animals can express ACE2 receptors, including nonhuman primates, ferrets, pigs and cats. It is not excluded that the virus will spread to other animals, thus evolving into a new zoonotic disease that will exist in nature for a long time. Therefore, the monitoring of Covid-19 in animals should be strengthened.

　　In short, the whole world should unite and adopt various prevention and control measures to contain and slow down the epidemic.Delay the epidemic of the virus, reduce the epidemic peak, thus reducing the impact on the medical system and buying time for the research and development of vaccine drugs.At the same time, it’s important to promote international technical cooperation,Accelerate the research and development of vaccines and drugsSo as to provide more technical means for epidemic prevention and control.

Erich Eric Voegelin (1901.1.3-1985.1.19) was an American political philosopher.

four

In voegelin’s eyes, although there are differences in symbol types and differences between them, the two types of experience, the wilderness and the city-state, are both witnesses of the "leap of existence", and they both disintegrated the cosmological order in different ways. What exists as the hidden line of this narrative is the tension between the individual who has grasped the transcendental order and the community that is still in secular existence. In the era of cosmological order, this problem has not been reflected because of the lack of historical materials; In the early stage of enlightenment and philosophy, prophets and philosophers were rejected by the community that was still in the cosmological order; With the prosperity of secular existence, all propositions about order are reduced to secondary. We can use these diagrams to show the cosmological order and enlightenment or the way in which philosophy constructs the transcendental order and secular existence:

However, since both cosmology, enlightenment and philosophical order symbols convey the experience of the relationship between social order and existential order, this structure itself cannot be cancelled by the "leap of existence". If the "leap of existence" can be closer to the truth, then this is nothing more than saying that enlightenment or philosophy reveals the transcendence of the order of existence. After this incident, social order became a secular existence under transcendental order. In the first three volumes, voegelin never combed the relationship between secular existence and transcendental order as a bright line, and this work will begin in the fourth volume. Once he does, he will find such a structure:

Through the "leap of existence", human beings realize the transcendental order as the source of the significance of secular existence. On the one hand, this kind of consciousness itself is only the construction type of secular existence to its meaning source; On the other hand, this type of construction was recognized by voegelin as the order of human history itself. In this way, the symbols of transcendental type of revelation or philosophy have become a more universal analysis mode, which is suitable for the symbolic order between secular existence and transcendental order.

Therefore, in the first three volumes, enlightenment and philosophy, two symbol types, both of which reveal transcendental order and realize two different ways of constructing order almost independently, have become the paradigm to understand all the symbols of constructing order between secular existence and transcendental order. All this, including the myth of cosmology order and the distortion of enlightenment and philosophy in modern times, even together with Gnosticism and purely secular greed and power, can be placed in the "community of existence" marked by the two landmarks of wilderness and polis. Just as Elijah went to the wilderness from Israel, Plato disappeared into the city-state. In voegelin’s place, enlightenment and philosophy were purified into a pure method and perspective, and the specific history itself was also included in the scope of investigation. The result, as shown in the first three volumes, is the second division between the wilderness and the polis: whether in Israel or ancient Greece, the prophets and philosophers are in the tension of secular existence and transcendental order. Before going to the wilderness, the prophets also fought for the right to live within the city walls, and the philosophers in the polis also yearned for the wasteland outside the law at some time.

In the writing of the first three volumes, the two landmarks "wilderness" and "city-state" occupy the center of their corresponding texts. In the fourth volume "The Times of the World", as its name suggests, voegelin is concerned about the "world", which is surrounded by the unreachable horizon and revealed as an endless sphere-shaped space in modern times. In the era of the world, various symbols will compete with greedy powers in this space for continuous cooperation, compromise and struggle. This is indeed a new historical space provided by voegelin after continuing the wilderness and polis. However, for the following reasons, this historical space needs to be replaced by another structure that may be more appropriate: The fourth volume not only provides such an analysis of the world times including Hellenistic and Roman periods, but more importantly, in 1974, 17 years after the publication of the third volume, this volume appeared in the form of a turn, in which voegelin did not follow the plan at the beginning of the first volume step by step, but first expressed his critical farewell to this plan. Therefore, the era of the world is not the era in the first volume of the research plan, but it belongs to another sequence-this new sequence also includes the wilderness and the city-state, but the meaning they provide is very different from the beginning.

Of course, no one forced us to find a landmark. In "Order and History", we can’t find voegelin’s tendency of trying to find the "synthesis" of two kinds of experiences-to some extent, this attempt is silently reflected in all aspects of his analysis of concrete society, experience and symbols. It needs to be clarified that the so-called third landmark is completely cheap, and the second half of the masterpiece Order and History will be better understood with this landmark. Furthermore, the "setting" of this landmark will help us to better understand voegelin’s attempt to express the course of seeking order in his historical existence in all five volumes of Order and History.

The concept that is more suitable as the landmark of the fourth and fifth volumes than "the world" needs to be obtained through the investigation of the wilderness and the city-state. As mentioned above, voegelin in the first three volumes has realized the internal second division between the Israeli wilderness and the ancient Greek city-state, that is, the search for the transcendental order of existence and the response through symbolization, as well as the realization of the fact of living in a concrete secular community. In a figurative sense, we can call the former "wilderness" and the latter "city state"; Or, call the former "enlightening" and the latter "philosophical". With the adjustment of methodology, wilderness and polis are no longer just the spatial structure of a certain stage in history, but they are intertwined into a truly universal thing in a more essential way. We can say that these two words no longer belong exclusively to Israel and ancient Greece; As universal things, they are no longer a link in the new historical sequence, but constitute themselves; Under the interweaving of the experience symbolized by the wilderness and the city-state, different order symbols, including Israel, ancient Greece and the era of the world, were bred.

At the beginning of the fourth volume, voegelin directly pointed out that this volume deviated from his plan in the preface of the first volume, and voegelin pointed out that he "failed to fully consider those important, non-chronological and historical significance routes". (Volume 4, page 49) Although the program of Order and History, that is, "the historical order comes from the history of order", is still insisted by voegelin, he has adjusted the method of deriving the "historical order" from the "history of order". In voegelin’s view, the original plan will make the length of the study extremely large: he needs to trace all kinds of experiences and symbol types of order arranged in chronological order in history, and this sequence will become a historical order. However, it may be difficult to achieve this plan even in a long space. In the fourth volume, Vogelin found that this sort will be declared invalid because of some normal experience and symbol types. In other words, history is difficult to be put into a single-line narrative. Aware of this, voegelin bluntly pointed out his own fault: this single-line narrative is also a specific symbol type, and voegelin named it "the theory of historical creation". As a speculation about the origin and causes of social order, it is still within the scope of cosmology myth. In the first three volumes, Vogelin was vaguely aware of the connection between the "leap of existence" of enlightenment and philosophy and the myth of cosmology. Now this point has been made clear: this theory of historical creation belongs to the normal state in history, and it has continued to the present age since its emergence-it even influenced voegelin before the fourth volume.Lure him to talk about transcending myth in a mode that belongs to myth in essence. With the gradual clarity of this consciousness, that is, "the myth about the origin of the universe will never disappear like the universe." Any attempt to overcome or abandon this myth is like magic, driven by some apocalyptic desire to destroy the universe itself "(Volume 4, page 57). voegelin stopped using the term" leap of existence "because this leap has never happened decisively, and it can’t happen decisively. Therefore, in the fourth volume, Vogelin emphasized the significance of myth, and supplemented Plato in the third volume: Plato resisted the disorder brought by the old myth, but the work of philosophers still needed the supplement of the insight of divine reality embodied in myth. For Plato, myth is not just a convenient rhetoric used by philosophers to descend, it also has extraordinary and rich truth.

At the same time, the enlightenment and philosophy in the first three volumes, which are regarded as epoch-making events in human history, need to be more strictly limited in their respective historical situations at this time, and cannot be regarded as milestones on a single historical route. However, this only means that voegelin deepens the universality of his thesis: it is true that no unique historical event once and for all endows history with meaning, but through the study of "meaning in history", we find that the empirical consciousness derived from each meaning construction has the same structure. This structure therefore transcends different social types and makes it possible for "human beings" to transcend the boundaries of time and space. As a result, history is spread out, and no matter which time and space human beings are in, they do not have the authority to reveal the truth alone. They are in the same wilderness or city-state, and they cannot get a way to solve the disorder of their own situation from ancient people or future people, natives or foreigners. The universality of human beings is possible because of the ultimate impossibility of divine reality. All people are equally oriented towards the ultimate divine reality, equally living in the unavoidable secular community, and equally in a state of tension:

History is not a stream composed of people and their activities in time, but a process in which people participate in a stream of divine manifestation oriented towards the end. Therefore, the puzzling symbolic expression of "human history" reveals people’s understanding that although these insights come from specific events and appear in the consciousness of specific individuals, they are effective for everyone.

The historical process and the order that can be recognized in it are not a story, but a story that can be told from the beginning to its happy or unfortunate ending; It is a mystery, in the process of enlightenment. (Volume IV, pages 53-54)

Therefore, in the fourth volume, the experience represented by the wilderness and the polis and its symbolic expression, that is, enlightenment and philosophy, have been purified from their specific society and history into a universal analytical model. What the third landmark wants to express is nothing more than the interweaving of these two "enlightening" and "philosophical" essential experiences. It is not the exclusive enjoyment of Israel or Greece in a certain time and space, but the experience of human historical existence in a universal sense. On the other hand, as mentioned above, this kind of interweaving occurred not only in various stages of history and became the empirical basis of symbols, but also in voegelin’s own thoughts. In the end, he went far beyond the comparative study of Greek-Hebrew traditions, but embodied the spirit of the two traditions in his research methods and historical views.

We can call this landmark "maze". This is not a random word. We use the word "maze" to call this spatial configuration, and the purpose is not to dismiss it as an "unsolved mystery" by emphasizing the complexity of its interweaving. Maze, or the encounter between man and maze, means two different levels of experience: for the man who enters the maze, he experiences the cycle of the maze itself at the same time, but it is not completely lost, as long as he remembers that he is in the maze, and getting out of the maze is his ultimate mission; At the same time, this man in the maze finds that he is not alone. He is in the pedigree of countless seekers throughout the ages. This maze is in the consciousness of all people in all history, and because of its absolute universality, no one in this pedigree can help anyone. "They also have to face the same reality with the same consciousness as we do; In their pursuit of truth, when they write their words on whatever materials, they have to ask and deal with the same problems we face when writing our words. " (Volume V, page 36)

"Although man has fallen, he is destined to play serious games." (Volume III, page 281) This game bears and responds to the truth about transcendental order conveyed by divine reality in a symbolic way. This kind of game takes place in consciousness, "but it is not’ one’s concept of reality’, but an event in the middle, where people share the divine nature of the process with everyone to" talk ". Due to the presence of divinity in the dialogue between elf-like people, the event has social and historical dimensions. " (Volume 4, page 269) Consciousness is always the consciousness of something. In voegelin’s view, this phenomenological conclusion can and must be extended to a kind of transcendental experience, and it must be historicized-human beings must have such a consciousness structure in their historical existence: what he realizes is not only an objective "thing-reality", but also "it-reality" as a transcendental order. Correspondingly, consciousness not only has intentionality to the object-reality, but also has enlightenment to it-reality, which makes human consciousness itself the initiator of transcendental order. With the help of this analysis, especially the exposition of the enlightening structure of consciousness, voegelin regards this serious game as an essential action of human existence.

This is a maze game, and everyone who exists in the name of "human" will find himself in this maze. This maze is a common construction of enlightenment and philosophy. The long and closed maze has become a city-state in which people live. They metaphorically feel that its center will be a wilderness. People walk in the disorder of secular existence and seek order in the process of constantly getting lost-this is the divine reality that he has realized when he is in the maze, and it is this existence that interprets his stable existence as a maze that needs to be regulated. While traveling through the secular maze, the exit he wants to finally reach is the center of the maze, but the specific location of the exit has not been given, and the scene behind this exit is in a mystery. Due to the characteristics of the maze, many times people are only one step away from the ultimate divinity, but this may mean a farther distance than the original position-the symbols that convey experience are different in compactness and difference, but they have not become closer to the truth. The residents of this "city-state" cover all the members of the community on this planet from ancient times to the present, and their respective pursuit trajectories add up to form what we call human history.

In the maze, a new landmark, we can re-identify the series of symbols in the first three volumes. We have captured the image of the wilderness from Israel’s existence, and the image of the city-state from ancient Greece, respectively, to compare the mysterious and central divine reality of the maze and the secular existence as a long and tortuous maze full of danger of being lost. In this maze, we find that the Israeli prophet and the ancient Greek philosophers are both on the road of seeking from the city-state to the wilderness, although they are in different positions. The cosmological order, which was regarded as an obstacle in the first three volumes, is now summarized as the theory of historical creation, which is an attempt to put secular existence into an inevitable historical narrative sequence. It has been continuously existing in human history since the end of the third Millennium BC, and of course it also exists with Israel and ancient Greece. People captured by this theory of historical creation have never forgotten their maze situation, that is, the present situation of their secular existence and the purpose of divine reality, but they believe that they are moving forward along a path that will surely arrive. In the 19th century, this theory of historical creation manifested itself as various "historical philosophies". Nevertheless, they are still a type with the experience of the tension between divine reality and secular existence as the core.

However, all types of consciousness may be obscured, and this maze as a serious game may be completely abandoned. At those moments, people either completely forget the divine reality or cut off its connection with secular existence. As a result, secular existence loses the touch of divine reality and goes further and further in the disorder caused by greed and power. In the process of analyzing all kinds of experiences and symbol types in the era of the world, voegelin always reveals this point. The attempt to cancel the maze is as old as the existence of the maze itself, and this is exactly what the order seekers of today’s era should be alert to. "If people realize that we are still struggling with the problems set by various ideological divisions in the world today, and have not yet won the final victory, then they may feel that not much has happened in the past 2,500 years." (Volume 4, page 443) In this sense, the era of the world does not mean a certain historical stage, but a special stage that lasts until today, and its end period cannot be predicted.

The time range of the world era began from the Hellenistic era and continued to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. There is no doubt that this era means the breaking of the previously relatively closed community boundaries, and the establishment of a world-oriented empire has continuously expanded the scope of secular existence, tending to bring the whole world under the rule of political order. Imperial theorists try to replace the universal concept of spiritual transcendental order with the universal concept representing the scope of realistic rule. Therefore, this expansion also means the escape from divine reality. "In the end, when enough people living in the same era were driven into an empire and did not provide support for the fictional narrative of a world, the assembled human beings finally showed that they were not good enough for human beings unless their universal status as human beings under God was recognized." (Volume 4, page 251) It means that greed and power have become the only motif of all mankind, and lead to uncontrolled wars and massacres. This expansion will not stop. The greedy and powerful army pursues the horizon to launch a strategy, but it finally finds that the world is in the shape of a sphere, and it will never reach the end of the horizon. At the same time, people have discovered the infinity of the universe in modern times.

In the era of the world, Gnosticism corresponds to the greedy power of secular existence. If greed for power means ignoring order and seeking, then the purpose of Gnosticism is to cancel the process of seeking and declare the possession of divine reality directly. When the enlightening feature of human consciousness is completely concealed by the intentional feature, a kind of egoism, that is, what voegelin said replaced the "self-manifestation" of divine manifestation, makes people mistakenly think that they can completely symbolize the divine reality and master it in this way. There are two different types of Gnosticism: ancient Gnostics denied the legitimacy of secular existence, and even tried to cancel secular existence itself and escape into the transcendental order that belongs to individual souls; Modern Gnostics, represented by Hegel, are all the links of secular existence and are brought under the order of divine reality that is said to have been revealed by him. Both kinds of Gnosticism mean canceling the maze by canceling the search process; And no matter what kind of gnosis, they can easily form an alliance with greedy powers because they give up secular existence:

Gnosticism, whether ancient or modern, is a dead end. Of course, this is also its attraction. Magic spiritual thinking makes people who are addicted to it have a sense of superiority in the face of reality that does not meet the spiritual requirements. Whether this addiction takes the form of libertarianism and asceticism, which are common in ancient times, or takes the form of modern times, people who are addicted to it are exempted from the responsibility of living in the universe. Because Gnosticism surrounds people’s desire for power with a halo woven by spiritualism or idealism, and it can always nourish its legitimacy by pointing out the evils in the world, once magical spiritual thinking enters history as a survival mode, it is difficult to predict what attractive historical outcome it will lead to. However, it is a dead end as far as it rejects the spiritual and rational life under various conditions of the universe. (Volume IV, page 79)

seven

In the final analysis, the core experience conveyed by the landmark maze is balance: "Only when people accept the incorruptibility as an indefinite burden can they be immortal. The balance of consciousness between height and depth, reason and uncertainty has become a balance between immortality and decay in theoretical life, that is, in the rational life of this world. " (Volume 4, page 330) It also means the balance between the wilderness of revelation and the polis of philosophy. This corrects the "belief" color that is too conspicuous in the first three volumes. In the end, voegelin became an excellent integrator of Greek-Hebrew traditions, just like his spiritual peers Strauss, Benjamin and even Wittgenstein.

At the end of every discussion, we will habitually ask: "What does this mean to us?" The wilderness and the polis finally converge into the landmark maze, which spans time and space, consciousness and reality, and becomes the intermediary field for universal human beings rooted in secular existence and heading for divine reality. We are among them, and voegelin himself is among them. He is just one of many seekers of order. Back to the first sentence, "the historical order comes from the history of order", and the "historical order" finally revealed by voegelin is presented in the form of a maze, in which everyone will look for suitable symbols according to the mission entrusted by their respective time and space, and resolve the disorder of secular existence by symbolizing the divine reality they have experienced. Voegelin’s maze trapped us in a kind of silent isolation, but it also gave every thinker and actor the possibility of real events, which the once-and-for-all single-line narrative inevitability could not give. The isolation brought by this means a complete empowerment. Therefore, it means the fact that we are still searching for order empty-handed, but no one can say that we have nothing.

　　On October 24th, at the 18th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "The integrated application of blockchain technology plays an important role in new technological innovation and industrial transformation. We must take blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies, clarify the main direction, increase investment, focus on overcoming a number of key core technologies, and accelerate the development of blockchain technology and industrial innovation. " The foresight and high attention of the highest level have made the "blockchain" enter the public’s field of vision and become the focus of attention and hot discussion from all walks of life.

　　Since the 24th, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized the blockchain technology in the 18th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the topic of "blockchain" has been rapidly fermented. On the 28th, the stock market saw the daily limit of "blockchain" concept stocks, and the topic of "blockchain" triggered a heated discussion among the whole people, and the popularity of related topics quickly reached its peak. Since then, the heat of related topics has cooled down.

　　Media focus

　　According to the monitoring results of "Zhongyun Big Data Platform", People’s Daily Online Public Opinion Data Center found that the key words concerned by the media mainly include blockchain, blockchain technology, market and company.

Media pays attention to the word cloud (Source: Zhongyun Big Data Platform)

　　The blockchain industry form is taking shape.

　　Wechat WeChat official account "Spicy Finance" posted that some experts said that the blockchain technology has been developed for about 10 years, and the relatively large-scale application is in the financial field represented by cryptocurrency. In fact, the blockchain can be used in many scenarios, including finance, logistics, education, employment, medical health, food safety, social assistance and other fields. Taking the financial field as an example, there are many concepts related to blockchain finance, such as blockchain payment and settlement, virtual digital currency, digital currency trading platform, bitcoin and so on.

　　At present, some areas in China have tried to apply blockchain technology in multiple scenarios. People’s Daily reported that a large number of government affairs systems in xiong’an new area, Hebei Province were based on blockchain technology, Shanghai started to build a blockchain technology innovation and industrialization base in 2018, and Hangzhou Internet Court issued a smart contract judicial application based on judicial blockchain technology.

　　Domestic Internet companies are also widely involved in the application of blockchain technology. China discipline inspection and supervision newspaper pays attention to "Alibaba pays attention to product traceability, cross-border settlement and other fields, Tencent focuses on the application of electronic invoices and other financial fields, and JD.COM focuses on transparent supply chain system to crack down on counterfeit and shoddy products". The observation network issued a document saying that in August 2018, Shenzhen Taxation Bureau and Tencent jointly issued the country’s first blockchain invoice. After a year, blockchain invoices have covered more than 100 industries, with more than 5,300 access enterprises, and accumulated invoices have exceeded 8 million.

　　It is worth mentioning that WeChat WeChat official account’s "Media Tea Party" issued a document saying that while doing a good job in guiding public opinion, People’s Daily also focused on the dynamic development of blockchain. It is understood that People’s Daily has launched the "People’s Copyright" blockchain to protect the intellectual property rights of digital works.

　　China’s blockchain industry continues to grow at a high speed, and the competition will be fierce in the future. Guangming Daily reported, "According to the statistics of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the scale of China’s blockchain industry was 2.1 billion US dollars in 2017 and 2.9 billion US dollars in 2018. It is expected to reach about 4.2 billion US dollars in 2019, with an average annual growth rate of over 65% from 2013 to 2019." With the increasing demand for blockchain application and transformation in the fields of digital bills, asset custody, logistics and shipping, food and drug safety traceability, and digital content copyright, many blockchain solution providers will launch fierce competition.

　　Blockchain technology needs to be continuously improved.

　　Blockchain technology is considered as the next generation subversive core technology after steam engine, electric power and Internet. Guangming Daily reported that Ling Xia, deputy director of the Digital Economy Research Office of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, said that the concept of "blockchain" was put forward as early as 2008. As a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies, blockchain has the characteristics of disintermediation, good traceability and difficult tampering.

　　The technical framework of blockchain itself is still not mature enough and needs to be continuously improved. Wechat WeChat official account’s People’s Daily Commentary pointed out that the blockchain is still in the early stage of development, and it needs to be further developed and improved in terms of safety, standards and supervision. Li Xiang, director of the Research and Consulting Center of the Chinese Institute of Electronics and secretary general of the blockchain branch, pointed out in the article "Opportunities and Challenges of Blockchain Innovation and Development" that the blockchain was born only nine years ago. Compared with most technologies, it is still in the "infant" stage, and there are practical problems such as weak scalability, low efficiency, high handling fee and unreasonable economic model design, which can not well meet the large-scale commercialization of multi-domain distributed applications (DAPP). At the same time, due to key technologies such as private key encryption, smart contract, fragmentation, cross-chain and side chain, consensus mechanisms such as DAG and DPOS and economic incentive models are still in the trial or trial stage, and there are still loopholes in procedures and codes in blockchain.

　　Call for rational investment to avoid potential risks

　　Industry insiders call for a rational view of the investment phenomenon related to the "blockchain". China securities journal reported that Sun Tianqi, chief accountant of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, suggested: First, don’t speculate on the concept of blockchain; Second, illegal financial activities cannot be carried out in the cloak of blockchain; Third, in order to truly gain market space, blockchain technology must find its own market from the pain point of current economy and finance and from the process of serving the real economy.

　　In the program of CCTV Financial Review on October 26th, Ma Guangyuan, a financial commentator, and Liu Xiaolei, director of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University, said that the application of blockchain is not speculation. This time, the signal conveyed by the Politburo is that it hopes to support the real economy through blockchain technology, rather than short-term speculation. On this cusp, we should be more alert to enterprises and individuals who violate the law and regulations under the guise of blockchain. The Beijing News reported that people in the industry have said that blockchain and currency circle cannot be equated, and we should be more alert to the financing and currency speculation activities of pyramid schemes and frauds in the name of blockchain in recent years.

　　Investors suggest that investors rationally look at the phenomenon of the recent stagnation of blockchain concept stocks. Yu Rui, chief analyst of Chain Tower Think Tank, told Securities Daily that in the face of important positive news, the stock market surge is a normal performance of the market, which also reflects that investors have a high degree of recognition of blockchain-related concepts and are confident in the future development of the industry. However, it should be pointed out that at present, not all enterprises in the blockchain sector have actual blockchain business and revenue, and they will not be reflected in their performance in the short term. Investors should treat it rationally and pay more attention to the long-term healthy development of the blockchain field.

　　Promoting the healthy development of blockchain needs more efforts.

　　While developing blockchain technology, we should also pay attention to the potential risks it may cause and strengthen normative guidance. China securities journal reported that analysts have suggested that new technology is a "double-edged sword", which brings about changes, but at the same time, possible risks can not be ignored. It is necessary to be alert to the security loopholes of new technologies and strengthen the guidance and standardization of new technologies. Among them, Professor Cai Liang, executive deputy director of the Blockchain Research Center of Zhejiang University, said in an interview with Xinhuanet, "How to solve the efficiency and security problems of the alliance blockchain, how to solve the problem of data collaboration between the chain and the chain, and how to solve the supervision of the blockchain is an important direction for future development."

　　In view of the legal gaps in the application of blockchain, Song Mofei, a special researcher at Suning Financial Research Institute, said in an interview with The Beijing News that the technical characteristics of blockchain need corresponding regulatory measures. At present, the state has not issued special laws and regulations on this, and there is also a lack of laws to clarify the legal status and corresponding problems of blockchain. For example, once a smart contract reaches the blockchain, where is the arbitration right, and whether the implementation of the whole contract has the same legal effect as a paper contract. These also need to be solved by the government’s policies and regulations.

　　How to treat the relationship between the development of blockchain and risk prevention? Ye Zhenzhen, Party Secretary, Chairman and President of People’s Daily Online, pointed out in the article "Reading Blockchain Today and Tomorrow from Three Perspectives" that "the development of information technology frontiers such as blockchain is closely related to the future international competition pattern. If we don’t develop blockchain, we may fall into the danger of long-term backwardness. Therefore, the establishment of the supervision system must respect the law of technological development, focus on the world and future competition, and organically combine risk prevention with development promotion. "

　　Call on relevant departments to actively accept the blockchain and clarify that "the blockchain is not used for speculation". The Beijing News Network commented that without rules, it is not a Fiona Fang. The administrative and judicial departments should actively embrace the blockchain, transform and even reshape the e-government system through the mechanism design idea of the blockchain, so that the public power decision-making and execution process can be traced back and cannot be tampered with. At the same time, we will increase the protection of the market and social order, establish a public order and good law environment for blockchain "no speculation", and purify the impetuousness of the market.

　　People in the industry call for paying attention to the research and application of basic technology theory, ecological cultivation and improving infrastructure. The People’s Daily article "Blockchain, how much do you know (new economic orientation)" said that on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the research on relevant basic technology theories, such as consensus algorithms related to blockchain performance and security, and zero-knowledge proof related to data privacy. Cryptographic algorithms; On the other hand, it is necessary to speed up the construction of basic supporting facilities, such as blockchain industry public network and distributed digital identity system.

　　Guangming Daily reported that Li Xiang, director of the Research and Consulting Center of the Chinese Institute of Electronics and secretary-general of the blockchain branch, said that to promote the development of blockchain and economic and social integration, we should strengthen basic theory and technology research, focus on supporting the research and development of key technologies such as blockchain storage, encryption, consensus and cross-chain, and strive to promote interdisciplinary common basic research and interdisciplinary application research of related blockchain technology. In addition, we must attach great importance to the cultivation of technological ecology, integrate the resource advantages of the government, universities, enterprises and industry organizations, and build and improve the blockchain innovation ecology. Accelerate the integration and development of 5G and blockchain, give full play to the characteristics of low latency, high speed and low cost of 5G, and improve the efficiency of blockchain system.

　　Public opinion comment

　　Recently, the topic of "blockchain" has continued to arouse heated discussion among the whole people, boosting the popularity of public opinion and forming a "phenomenal" public opinion topic. In fact, as early as many years ago, the topic of "blockchain" has attracted attention many times. At that time, the research and application of blockchain had just started, and the related technical safety and risks were uncertain, and the related discussion was professional, and the discussion heat and scope were restricted to some extent. At the same time, in the past, there were many chaos such as speculation on "virtual currency", which left some negative impressions on public opinion, such as many problems and great risks. Subject to the above multiple factors, the discussion on related topics has not yet formed a strong public opinion momentum. However, after the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech on the development status and trend of blockchain technology, the development and application of blockchain technology is gradually gaining popularity. In particular, the application results of some blockchain technologies have attracted much attention from public opinion, which has created a positive public opinion ecology for the next promotion and application of blockchain technology.

　　Han Chao, a public opinion analyst at People’s Daily Public Opinion Data Center, believes that there are two tendencies worthy of attention in the discussion of netizens. First, in terms of investment concept, some netizens are blindly optimistic and have high expectations for the development prospects of blockchain technology, so that they ignore the potential risks, equate "blockchain" with "bitcoin", blindly follow the trend to invest in "virtual currency", or speculate on blockchain concept stocks. Second, in terms of technical risks, some netizens pay one-sided attention to technical risks, stir up the negative impact of the chaos of "virtual currency" in the past, ignore the positive significance of technological innovation, and even mistakenly believe that the high transparency of information on the blockchain will not protect personal privacy. Of course, some netizens expressed their expectations for the application advantages and risks of popular interpretation and publicity blockchain technology. The above situation reflects that there is still room for the promotion and guidance of blockchain technology. On the one hand, some popular science propaganda is professional and in-depth, which needs to be further popularized and popularized to facilitate the audience’s understanding. On the other hand, some misconceptions of netizens need to be cleared up in time to avoid the continuous spread of irrational views. In addition, it is necessary to actively spread financial management concepts such as "investment is risky" to the public to help individual investors improve their risk identification and prevention capabilities.

　　Treating the problems in the development of blockchain should be like caring for newborns. It is necessary to avoid pampering and make them grow wildly, but also to overcome malnutrition and help them grow healthily. I believe that with the concerted efforts of the government, enterprises, academic circles, media and even all walks of life, and with the efforts of Qi Xin, the "winding" will "fly into the homes of ordinary people" just like surfing the Internet in the near future. (People’s Daily Public Opinion Data Center public opinion analyst Han Chao intern Wang Juan, Zhang Shuai finishing)

CCTV News:Wuzhai County, Shanxi Province, which is located in the hilly area of the Loess Plateau in northwest Shanxi Province, has a tradition of planting potatoes, and the local people have increased their income and become rich by introducing agricultural projects and improving planting varieties.

These days, during the potato planting season, the 30,000 mu modern processing potato demonstration base project in Wuzhai County, Shanxi Province is in full swing. By transferring the land of 1683 farmers in two towns, the local government has realized the transformation from small-scale farming to large-scale and specialization.

Su Guoping, Captain of Wuzhai County Project Team:The whole project has three large reservoirs and 80 small reservoirs with 100 cubic meters. The water problem in the whole planting process is solved by diverting water from Nanfeng Reservoir.

It is understood that the climate and soil conditions in Wuzhai County are very suitable for potato growth, and the potato planting area in the county is stable at more than 100,000 mu every year. However, the traditional extensive planting method has problems such as single planting variety, low average yield and low processing conversion rate, which has become a bottleneck restricting the development of the whole industry. The demonstration base under construction can increase the local potato yield from 2000 kg to 4000 kg, and the output value will more than double.

With the gradual progress of the project, 100,000 mu of modern processing potato planting base will be built in the local area during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and potato production and processing projects will be built to extend the industrial chain, and a modern agricultural industrial system of "enterprise+base+farmers" will be gradually established, which integrates education, multiplication, promotion, planting, processing, marketing and tourism, so that small potatoes can truly incite the big market to become a big industry.

　　Both revenue and profit achieved 6% growth, and the growth rate of performance ranked first in the world’s large household appliance enterprises for 15 consecutive years; The competition in the home appliance market has already turned white-hot, but with an explosive product, it has achieved a leap in the market share of 4% to 19% in the American big drum washing machine market; Under the general environment of shrinking investment, we have invested more than 10 billion yuan to continue to exert our physical layout … Turning to the newly released 2023 report card of Haier Group (hereinafter referred to as "Haier"), three groups of data that "go against the wind" suddenly appear in the dense data.

　　In the context of the downturn in the real estate market, how can the performance of home appliance leaders increase instead of falling? How to quickly grow from a non-mainstream brand to a mainstream brand when entering overseas markets? Where does the confidence and confidence come from with the countercyclical investment of 10 billion yuan?

　　With the above questions, shanghai securities news interviewed many people and brand experts of Haier Group, trying to decode Haier’s innovative development in 2023 and look forward to the new future of high-quality development of China enterprises.

　　Both revenue and profit achieved 6% growth.

　　On January 27th, Haier revealed its market performance in 2023 at its 2023 annual summary and commendation meeting: global revenue was 371.8 billion yuan, global profit was 26.7 billion yuan, and both revenue and profit achieved 6% growth.

　　How to achieve a contrarian rise? In this regard, Haier has given several sets of more detailed data: in China, the market share of Haier household appliances will reach 28.1% in 2023; In North America, Haier’s general household appliances have become the fastest growing household appliance company for seven consecutive years; In Japan, the annual share of refrigerators and washing machines has become the first in the industry; In Europe, Haier has achieved contrarian growth in the context of the continuous decline of the home appliance market, and has become the fastest growing home appliance brand in the region for eight consecutive years.

　　While building a smart residence base, Haier’s layout in other fields has also achieved steady development. On the industrial Internet track, Haier kaos ranked first in the double-span platform of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for five consecutive years, linking more than 900,000 enterprises and empowering 160,000 enterprises. By building the "work-giving model" of empowering cities with urban brains and industrial cloud brains, it has been replicated in 20 cities across the country, such as Jinan, Zibo and Linyi. Taking "work-giving Qingdao" as an example, in 2023, there were 5,000 service enterprises, with an added industrial output value of 35 billion yuan. In the big health track, Haier pioneered the low-temperature automation solution of smart pharmacy, realizing the leap of single scene value from one million to ten million; Haier Biomedical provides infrastructure solutions for vaccination in Uganda, Madagascar and other countries, which is highly recognized by the local authorities. On the track of urban governance, Qingdao’s urban emergency solution is taken as a model, and it continues to be replicated in Qihe, Jinan, Hefei and other cities.

　　"The steady development of market performance is inseparable from the layout of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation." Zhou Yunjie, Chairman and CEO of Haier Group, told the reporter that in 2023, he continued to focus on scientific and technological innovation, and broke through industrial scientific and technological problems such as magnetic control cooling and fresh air conditioning variable shunt. The ultra-high-speed centrifuges that tackled the problem broke through the core technologies to fill the domestic gap, and independently developed key technologies of digital technology industry such as BaaS digital industrial operating system and HomeGPT, the industry’s first smart home vertical domain model. The core algorithm technologies such as high-frequency PFC, press driver and fan driver reached the international leading level.

　　"In 2024, Haier should maintain its strength, continue to focus on the two major tracks of smart residence and industrial Internet, and become an industry leader in each track." Zhou Yunjie said.

　　From 4% to 19%, smart living is still the biggest grasp.

　　In the past 40 years, Haier Group has developed into a global leading brand from a small collective factory on the verge of bankruptcy. In Haier’s view, the most important thing for enterprises to develop is to innovate to meet the needs of users, and there are many stories that people relish. From the earliest washing machine that can wash sweet potatoes to self-cleaning air conditioners and ultra-thin refrigerators in overseas markets, behind every innovative product is the satisfaction of different user groups. In 2023, a similar story was once again staged in overseas markets.

　　"The washing and drying machine in the American market takes 5-6 hours to wash and dry at a time, and it is still not completely baked. Users complain a lot. In our research, users want to shorten the time by at least half. So we locked in the leading goal of 2 hours of washing and drying. " Gao Yawu, a member of Haier’s North American washing machine team and a post-90 s maker, shared such a story with reporters. After determining the user’s needs, Haier’s R&D centers in Europe, America, New Zealand and China realized collaborative research and development, completely subverting the structure and technology of the existing washing and drying machine in the United States, and creating a brand-new user experience, which not only greatly shortened the drying time, but also made the clothes drying more thorough and uniform.

　　After the final product was put on the market, even though the price was as high as $2,899, it quickly became a local high-end explosive, and more than 100,000 units were sold in seven months. Before the product was launched, Haier’s share in the local large drum washing machine market was only 4%, but now Haier’s market share has suddenly risen to 19%.

　　The global expansion of China’s home appliance enterprises has entered the fierce stage of brand output, and it is obvious that Haier has mastered the magic weapon to win. Zhou Yunjie said recently that the smart living track is still the biggest starting point for Haier to become a world-class enterprise. This means that Haier Group will not only be strong and smart, but also deepen the track, and it is particularly important to achieve scientific and technological breakthroughs in the original and key areas of the industry.

　　According to reports, in 2023, Haier’s global smart home invention patents increased by 6,152, with a total of 29,486, leading the world for 10 consecutive times; In 2023, more than 15,000 new public patents were added, ranking first in the industry; Nine new international standards have been issued, 106 international standards have been issued, 770 national and industrial standards have been issued, and there are more than 100 global standards experts, with the largest number of industries. At the basic research level, Haier has also broken through the core technology of ultra-high-speed centrifuges, filling the domestic gap; At the level of platform technology, Haier has broken through the common scientific and technological problems of air conditioning variable shunt and other industries. All the above results have laid a foundation for Haier to continue to stay ahead in the smart residence track.

　　"Large enterprises can effectively cope with the impact of economic cycle fluctuations through continuous innovation." Luo Qingqi, a brand expert and senior director of Paler Consulting, said in an interview with shanghai securities news, "As a leading enterprise in the industry, Haier is constantly leading the development trend of the industry. At present, it is no longer simply focusing on home appliances, but upgrading through technology and scenes, providing users with diversified smart life scene solutions, transforming from providing users with home appliances to creating smart life, thus driving the demand of the stock market, which is also the key for Haier to maintain sustained and steady growth in this track."

　　Zhou Yunjie made it clear that Haier should seize the opportunity of the times to become an eco-smart enterprise with the first brand, the first scale and the first market value in the world, and continue to improve its ecology and strengthen its competitiveness.

　　Counter-cyclical investment seeking deterministic growth

　　In addition to accelerating the strategic layout in the field of smart housing, Haier has also accelerated the expansion of the industrial Internet track. Zhou Yunjie proposed at the 2023 annual summary and commendation meeting that Haier should strengthen three platforms and deepen four vertical industries.

　　The three platforms are kaos Industrial Internet Platform, Haichuanghui Entrepreneurship Acceleration Platform and Haiyongshun Cross-border Service Platform, and the four vertical industries are Big Health Industry Internet, Urban Governance Industry Internet, Automobile Industry Internet and New Energy Industry Internet.

　　Haier’s ecological forces have already rushed out of the well-known "home appliances" boundary, and continue to cultivate new growth points by continuously cracking the layout.

　　In January this year, () announced that Haier Group planned to acquire 20% of the shares held by Clifford, with a total transfer price of 12.5 billion yuan. For a time, this incident became the focus of the industry, and this was just the tip of the iceberg for Haier to continue to strengthen the layout of the real economy.

　　On December 14th, 2023, a subsidiary of Haier Group () announced that it planned to acquire the commercial refrigeration business of Carrier Group for about US$ 640 million (about RMB 4.559 billion) in cash. Also in December, Haier kaos Industrial Internet Ecological Park refrigerator intelligent manufacturing (Phase I) project was officially put into operation, which means that the industrial park built by Haier with a domestic investment of 13 billion yuan is gradually being delivered. According to public information, Haier kaos Industrial Internet Ecological Park has a total planned production capacity of 26 million units, which is the largest among all home appliance parks in the world.

　　At the commissioning ceremony of the refrigerator intelligent manufacturing (Phase I) project, relevant parties promoted the signing of 10 key projects in the supply chain of smart home appliances industry chain in kaos Xincheng. It includes 3 industrial Internet projects and 7 upstream and downstream supporting projects in the industrial chain, covering the whole chain of sheet materials, precision molds, heat-conducting accessories, sensors, industrial gases, equipment and materials, and packaging materials in the smart home appliance industry, with a planned total investment of 15 billion yuan. In addition, Haier plans to lay out "Top Ten Factories" in the whole industrial chain, such as refrigerators, washing, air conditioners and recycling, in the Haier kaos Industrial Internet Ecological Park project where the factory is located within five years, with an annual output value exceeding 40 billion yuan.

　　In addition, in June 2023, BWT Haier Intelligent Water Purification Plant was put into operation, with an annual production capacity of 2 million units and an output value of about 200 million euros. In September of the same year, Haier led the Qingdao factory project of Deao Group in Germany, with a total investment of 40 million US dollars, and planned to build five high-end electronic control panel production lines.

　　Zhou Yunjie told reporters that under the strategic layout of the two racetracks, Haier will continue to promote the industry to be bigger, deeper and more practical, accelerate the construction progress of Haier Central Air Conditioning (Jiaozhou) Intelligent Manufacturing Base, Haier Da Health (Yingkang Yisheng) Digital Intelligence Industrial Park for Medical Devices, Haier Egyptian Industrial Park and other projects, and build new advantages for high-quality development of the industry. At the same time, based on scientific and technological innovation, we will give full play to the platform role of kaos Industrial Internet, and inject surging new kinetic energy into grasping the new development of digital economy.

　　Luo Qingqi believes that the whole economic circle often says "countercyclical layout", which is actually Buffett’s most famous investment motto: I am greedy when others are afraid. Because this strategic layout often requires less investment, but it will bring greater return on investment. Firmly focusing on the real economy and continuously accelerating the industrial layout is what Haier is doing now and in the future.
