Generative AI is only a transition, AI will be free in the future, and interactive AI will change mankind.

Editor: Run

Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind and founder of Influence AI, accepted an online interview with him by MIT Technology Review. In the interview, he threw out his views:

At present, the generative AI is only a technical stage, and then it will enter the era of interactive AI: AI will become a robot that can call other software and people to complete the work according to the different task requirements of each user.

The goal of the company he founded, Influence AI, is not only a chat assistant, but also to make the vast majority of people in the world get more equal resources and information through AI.

Finally, he also called on the government to actively supervise AI, and believed that it was not difficult to supervise AI under the existing system.

There may not be many people who have similar views with Suleyman, but unlike most people, he is the leader of Influence AI, a company with a valuation of billions of dollars.

This company has top talents from DeepMind, Meta and OpenAI, and has the largest professional AI hardware computing power reserve in the world through cooperation with NVIDIA.

We are in the second wave of three waves of AI technology.

In Sulyman’s view, the first wave of AI was about Classification. Deep learning shows that humans can train computers to classify various types of input data: images, videos, audio and languages.

Now in the second wave, generative AI, input data and generate new data.

The third wave will be interactive AI. He always thinks that dialogue is the future interactive interface. Users not only click buttons and type words, but also have a direct dialogue with AI.

These AIs will be able to take action on their own. Just give it a general and final goal, and AI will use all tools to achieve this goal.

They will talk to others and talk to other AI. This is what he will achieve with Pi.

This is a huge upgrade of technical ability. This is a very, very far-reaching moment in the history of technology. He thinks that many people underestimate the potential of technology.

AI technology is still static. It basically does things the way you tell it.

But technology will become alive. If the user gives AI full freedom, AI can use this freedom to take action.

This is indeed a qualitative leap in human history, and we are creating tools with this agent ability.

Humans will always be the dominant players. Humans need to make sure that AI can’t cross the boundaries, and ensure that these boundaries can provide provable security from the actual code to the interaction with other AI or humans, to the motivation and incentives of the companies that create technology.

Influence of Early Experiences on Their Values and Entrepreneurship

When asked about his unique professional experience, which is completely different from the traditional "Silicon Valley Style", and what impact these experiences have on his business in Silicon Valley, Suleyma replied:

He has always been interested in power and politics. He thinks that the basic principles of human beings are the product of compromise. It depends on a dynamic balance that can be achieved through continuous consultations between different and conflicting forces.

Although human beings are constantly solving problems-but human beings will still be limited by their own prejudices and cognitive blind spots.

Non-governmental organizations, local governments, central governments, international organizations, etc.-will all be limited by themselves and cannot operate efficiently and without mistakes.

Imagine what would happen if human beings didn’t make mistakes.

He feels that it is possible for human beings to build an AI that truly reflects their own interests, and ultimately make better trade-offs on behalf of all people more consistently and fairly.

(In 1984, Sulyman was born in North London to a Syrian father and an English mother. He grew up in poverty. At the age of 16, his parents separated and both of them moved abroad, leaving him and his brother to fend for themselves.

Sulyman went to Queen Elizabeth School (Barnet’s grammar school for boys). Around that time, he met Demis Hassabis, the co-founder of DeepMind, through his best friend. Sulyman said that he and Demis Hassabis often discuss how they will influence the world.

Later, he was admitted to Oxford University to study philosophy and theology, but dropped out a year later.

Later, together with his college friend Mohammed Mamdani, he founded the Muslim Youth Helpline, which is a telephone consultation service. The organization later became the largest Muslim mental health support service in Britain.

Subsequently, Sulyman worked as a human rights policy officer under Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, and later founded Reos Partners, a consulting firm of "systematic change", which used conflict resolution to solve social problems.

As a negotiator and mediator, Suleyman has worked for a series of clients such as the United Nations, the Dutch government and the World Wide Fund for Nature. )

Suleyma said that after leaving DeepMind, he was financially free. You don’t need to start a business or write a book to make money to support yourself.

Money has never been the motivation for work. Money is a by-product of work.

For him, the goal of his work has never changed, that is, how to make the world better and how to push the world forward in a healthy and satisfactory way.

Even in 2009, when he began to consider entering the technology industry, he saw that AI technology represented a fair and accurate way to provide services in the world.

(Suleyman and Hasabiss co-founded DeepMind Technologies, an artificial intelligence company, as the chief product officer. DeepMind was acquired by Google in 2014, and he became the head of DeepMind’s application of artificial intelligence.

In January 2022, Suleyman left Google and joined Greylock Partners as a venture partner.

In March 2022, Suleyman and Reid Hoffman of Greylock co-founded the AI laboratory Influence AI.

The company was founded with the goal of "using artificial intelligence to help people talk to computers", recruited former employees from companies such as Google and Meta, and raised $225 million in the first round of financing.

Then in July this year, it received $1.5 billion investment from Microsoft, NVIDIA, Bill Gates and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman.

Immediately after Influence AI got the financing, it purchased NVIDIA H100 GPU worth $1.3 billion and built one of the largest GPU clusters in the world.

Earlier this year, he released a ChatGPT competition called Pi. He also co-authored a book about the future of AI with writer and researcher Michael Bhaskar, entitled The Coming Wave: Technology, Power and the Biggest Dilemma in the 21st Century. )

How to treat the negative effects of technology

He thinks it doesn’t make much sense to dwell too much on who is optimistic or pessimistic. This is a biased way of looking at things. He just wants to calmly analyze the interests and challenges.

From his standpoint, it is very clear that with the further increase of the scale of large language models, they become more controllable.

So two years ago, the view at that time-he thought it was wrong at that time-was "Oh, they will only produce toxic, ruminant, biased and racist content. 」

But these situations are only temporary. People ignore the continuous progress of technology and don’t really understand the track of its development.

Now a model like Pi is very controllable. Influence AI can prevent Pi from producing racism, homosexual discrimination and sexism-any form of toxic content.

It can make it refuse to teach users to make biological or chemical weapons, or encourage users to smash neighbors’ windows.

As for how to realize it, Suleyma didn’t want to disclose too many technical details, but he said, please feel free to experiment boldly! Pi is online, and users can try all possible attacks.

Any jailbreak, prompt hacker attack or anything against Pi will not work. This is an objective fact.

Influence AI has the most powerful team in the world and has created all the largest language models in the past three or four years.

This is an excellent team, working in a very efficient environment and having a lot of computing resources.

They made safety their first priority from the beginning, so Pi was not as "hot" as other companies’ models.

Look at Character.ai (Character is a chat robot, users can design different "characters" for it and share them with others online. Its function is mainly used to create unconstrained characters, but Influence AI thought it was not a good direction from the beginning-they wouldn’t do such a function.

Pi will respect you very much. If you start complaining that immigrants in your community have robbed you of your job, Pi will not accuse you or tell you what to do.

Pi will ask with concern and provide you with language and psychological support. It will try to understand where users’ emotions come from and gently encourage you to sympathize with others. These are the values that I have been thinking about for 20 years.

But I was asked why not open source if these technologies can make the world a better place.

Sulyman stressed that after all, he was running a company and had to earn money to support everyone. Before he bought a 1.3 billion GPU from NVIDIA, he had to earn money to meet investors’ demands for returns.

Now the open source ecosystem is booming and doing quite well, and the open source community has also found similar methods. Suleyman only assumes that they are six months ahead at most.

How to effectively supervise AI?

For him, the technology of developing AI recursive self-improvement needs to be supervised. It is dangerous for a small AI to update its code without your supervision. Perhaps this should even be an act that requires permission.

It may be necessary to have a special mechanism to supervise this behavior, just like anthrax or nuclear materials.

He also believes that the fear of AI is completely unnecessary. AI supervision can completely settle within the current regulatory framework. AI is just another component of the governance system.

Humans have done a very good job in regulating ultra-complex things. Take the Federal Aviation Administration as an example: We are all used to flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet in these aluminum pipes, which is one of the safest modes of transportation in history. This is an example of successful supervision.

Or a car: every component has undergone extreme stress tests, and users must have a driver’s license to drive it.

Some industries, such as airlines, regulate themselves well from the beginning. Because they know that if they don’t do a good job in safety, everyone will be afraid and they will lose their business.

Ali’s life service turmoil has started again: Box Horse started the supplier’s "knockout", and small and medium-sized players complained that it was difficult to enter the game.

  Ali’s life service business has been somewhat unsettled recently.

  On August 12th, it was reported in 36Kr that Li Yonghe, CEO of Alibaba’s local life company, resigned because his subordinates were involved in the "sexual assault scandal", and Yu Yongfu, the general manager of the local life service section, took over the post urgently. This is the third time that the local life company has changed coaches in the past two months.

  The aftermath of the "807 incident" was not smooth, and the new retail format of Alibaba’s reconstruction of offline supermarkets-Box Ma Xiansheng was also involved in another storm. On the evening of August 11th, the blogger "Beijing-Zhao Yong", who claimed to be the supplier of "Beijing Box Horse" owned by Ali, issued a document in Weibo, accusing Box Horse of "bullying customers". It said that since the cooperation with Box Horse in 2017, it has supplied more than 8 million yuan to Box Horse in four years. Not only did it not make money, but it lost more than 600,000 yuan due to various overlord clauses of Box Horse.

  On August 13th, Box Horse told Time Finance that the problems reflected by the supplier were still being handled, and it was communicating with the supplier and verifying some details in order to give a proper solution. Box Horse Club takes the incident seriously, and is also optimizing the contract terms and supplier feedback mechanism to prevent similar phenomena from happening again.

The supplier accused Box Horse of "store bullying", and the insider said that the payment had been settled.

  Previously, the supplier issued a document saying that the loss of more than 600,000 yuan was not a normal business loss, but was "pitted" by the box horse. He said that during the supply period, the supplier orders placed by Boxma must be supplied in full according to the quantity they require, and if the quantity is less than 95%, a fine will be imposed.

  According to the information provided by this person, the operating pressure mainly comes from fines and platform returns. He said that he had negotiated with Boxma and reminded that there was a problem of excessive cargo, but Boxma required sufficient supply as required, which led suppliers to borrow money and loan to supply Boxma. However, some of the goods with large purchases were not sold in time, and Box Horse forcibly returned the goods to the supplier, who could only bear it. "After all, there are still a lot of payment in the hands of Box Horse."

  This situation lasted for more than 4 years, which eventually led to a total loss of more than 600,000 yuan from the supplier’s return plus fines.

  In addition, the blogger also mentioned another "overlord clause" of Box Horse: after the supplier delivered the box horse to Tianjin warehouse, the warehouse refused to allow the supplier to unload the goods himself, and forced the warehouse loading and unloading team to unload and deliver the goods. Each party (intended to refer to the unloading and delivery party) charged 18 yuan’s fees and paid 200 yuan another bill for delivery.

  Original text of supplier Weibo

  The blogger said that when he chose not to renew the contract when the contract expired in 2021 for the above reasons, Box Horse did not have the personnel to handle the account clearing process, did not give the final payment and could not find a docking person. He also said that under the epidemic, dealers are already struggling, and I hope that Box Horse will not "bully customers" and leave a way for suppliers.

  On August 12th, Time Finance contacted the supplier, and the other party refused the interview, and said that it was being negotiated with Box Horse.

  "Suppliers are not willing to ferment this matter. After all, there are affiliated companies in this circle. Today, the box horse paid the other party, and this matter is over. " An insider told Time Finance on August 13th.

  The above-mentioned insiders said frankly that the attitude of the supplier also represents the current situation of most suppliers in the fresh retail industry. "They are not willing to make a big deal, fearing that they will have a bad influence in the industry and break the future business."

Suppliers who bow to the platform: the living space is compressed, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized players to enter the game.

  Time Finance learned from an interview that many suppliers have complaints about box horses.

  Huang Tao (pseudonym) has been a box horse supplier for more than one year, and can maintain a gross profit margin of 10%-15%. Its supply scope is mainly for more than 20 fresh box horse stores in a second-tier city. "The supply volume is relatively fixed, with an average daily supply of more than 10,000 kilograms on weekdays, 20,000 kilograms on weekends, and delivery to the central warehouse three times a week."

  However, Huang Tao also felt that the supplier’s living space was gradually compressed. "We can only provide small-scale seafood, and the categories of large-scale seafood have been taken back by the box horse for collection. For example, the explosion of seafood single product Portunus crab has become a box horse."

  "The leading enterprises in every city have basically been signed away by the platform, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to squeeze in. The right to speak on the platform is still very large, and suppliers can only be selected." The national supplier of another box of horses told Time Finance.

  On May 31, 2021, Box Horse announced the establishment of a new brand incubation center-"Box Horse X Accelerator" to open up internal and external resources such as investment and financing, product research and development, supply chain support, marketing and promotion, and to incubate and accelerate potential new brands, product lines and commodities and make strategic investments.

  Hou Yi, CEO of Box Horse Fresh Life, even put down the swear words: "If you are willing to go, go with Box Horse. If it is unreasonable, even the number one supplier in the world will be eliminated."

  In fact, the elimination of Box Horse has long been hidden in the supplier assessment mechanism. According to Huang Tao, once the performance rate is unqualified for three consecutive months, the supplier qualification will be cancelled. "Seafood suppliers need to pay special attention to specifications, box temperature and activity. If you can do a good job in performance and product quality control, you can maintain a relatively stable income. "

  "It is a chore to supply box horses." Some insiders in the retail industry told Time Finance that "the long account period, the suppression of ultra-low commodity prices, and the inspection loss after the transportation of goods are all paid by themselves. If you value product marketing, you can enter the market. If you want to make money, the box horse is not a good choice."

  However, some analysts believe that the problem reflected by "Beijing-Zhao Yong" is a case and does not represent the current situation of suppliers in China. Qiang Ge, founder of New Gradient Alliance, told Time Finance on August 13th: "In front of the platform, suppliers are always weak. If the supplier can’t meet the strict regulations of the platform, there will still be a steady stream of substitutes after the exit. "

  Behind the rising threshold of suppliers, Box Horse is also building its own brand. According to public reports, among the 1,500 SKUs of Box Horse X member stores, self-owned goods account for more than 40%, of which self-owned brand "Box Horse MAX" accounts for more than 20%.

  "On the one hand, Box Horse can directly connect with the place of origin, control the quality of products and the stability of supply, on the other hand, it can also reduce costs and help Box Horse control the pricing of some goods in the platform." Qiang Ge said.

Emotional Value of Addiction "Soul Gas Station" (190)

Liu Lixuan and Deng Yaying Our Space

Today is the No.2183 issue of space with you.

Emotional value of "addiction"

In our daily life, the exchange of emotions is everywhere. It is like an invisible bond that connects everyone’s heart. It is often lamented that in an intimate relationship, the other party cannot "provide emotional value" to himself. What exactly is "emotional value" and how important is it?

Emotional value: the ability to influence others’ emotions

The concept of emotional value, originally from the field of economics, refers to the emotional experience value brought by products and services to consumers, and its calculation formula is: emotional value = emotional income (positive emotional experience)-emotional cost (negative emotional experience).

Later, psychological and sociological researchers introduced this concept to describe a person’s ability to influence others’ emotions in interpersonal relationships. Simply put, when we can make others feel comfortable and happy, our emotional value is high; On the other hand, if we make people feel unhappy, our emotional value is low. The expression of emotional value is multidimensional, not only in the support and encouragement given at critical moments, but also in every interaction and understanding of interpersonal communication.

Emotional value plays an important role in shaping and deepening interpersonal relationships, which can not only enhance understanding and support, but also profoundly affect individual psychology and development.

● In intimate relationships, a simple compliment and an understanding word can change people’s mood in an instant, make people feel cherished and understood, and improve their life satisfaction and happiness.

● In the parent-child relationship, parents’ encouragement and support will help improve children’s self-esteem and self-confidence; High-quality parent-child emotional experience is very important for creating a warm and harmonious family atmosphere.

● In friends’ communication, sharing a sad experience, shared laughter and sympathetic tears can provide high emotional value for friends, which can reduce loneliness and increase mutual trust and dependence.

● In the working relationship, the positive exchange of emotional values can improve the cohesion and efficiency of the team; Open discussion and constructive criticism can also help members grow and stimulate their potential.

Improve "emotional gain" = increase "pleasant experience"

People often say, "If you are near Zhu Zhechi, you will be black if you are near Mexico." Life is what you choose to be with. With people with positive energy, you will be full of hope and positive energy for life; Being with people with negative energy will make people have negative mentality and emotions. Contacts with "people with high emotional values" are easy to make people "addicted", and the pleasant experiences in those contacts often make people want to get close to them.

How to improve your interpersonal skills and provide higher emotional value for others? We can adopt the following strategies:

1. The art of active listening. Being an active listener means not only listening to what the other person is saying, but also showing your participation and understanding through eye contact, nodding your head or short sentences (such as "I see"). This kind of behavior will make the other party feel that their thoughts and feelings are valued, thus deepening the emotional connection between you.

2. Provide specific help. When you want to show concern, don’t stop at "Can I help you?" The level, but put forward specific help suggestions. For example, "I can help you finish this task, or we can discuss that problem together." Specific promises of help can convey your concern and support more than vague kindness.

3. Share positive experiences. Sharing your success, happy event or gratitude can encourage others to share their positive experiences with you, thus establishing a stronger cycle of emotional resonance and positive energy between you.

4. Show empathy. Try to see things from each other’s perspective, even if you disagree. Express your understanding and sympathy through words, such as "It sounds like you are really upset/frustrated/happy." Showing your empathy can not only deepen mutual understanding, but also enhance emotional connection.

Reducing "emotional cost" = reducing "emotional consumption"

In the maintenance and development of interpersonal relationships, the high emotional cost is an unavoidable challenge. If there is an imbalance between giving and receiving emotions, it will lead to a decrease in the overall emotional value. Another way to enhance the emotional value is to reduce the emotional cost and reduce the negative emotional experience brought to others. When your emotional value is "insufficient", try this:

1. Sincerely apologize and reflect on the reasons. Sincerely apologize to the other party, admit that you have brought negative emotions to the other party, and find out the problem.

2. Pay attention to needs and express feelings. Give each other a chance to express their views, try to meet each other’s reasonable needs, express your feelings and thoughts about things, and pay attention to our way and tone.

3. Give time and keep communication. Calm analysis and thinking, respect for the other party may take time to deal with emotions, and keep open and honest communication to ensure that the problem can be completely solved.

Psychologist Carl Rogers once said: "What we need, more important than any material help, is to feel the understanding, acceptance and care of others." I hope you can also become a "high emotional value person" and gain a happy experience in the process of emotional exchange.

Original title: Emotional Value of Addiction "Spiritual Gas Station" (190) "

The sweetness exceeds the standard! "I’ve always liked you" exposed a positive clip.


1905 movie network news On July 27th, directed by Zhang Zhihong and co-directed, starring,,, and specially starring in the youth love movie, a feature clip of "Love Bumper Car" was released. Tong Zhi (Zhou Yiran) dressed up to meet his beloved, and collided with Gu Bin (Wu Nianxuan) in a bumper car game, which became a famous scene with excessive sugar content in the film, attracting many viewers. Since the film was released, it has attracted much attention. It not only achieved a score of 20,000 in a single day before its release, but also became a leader in the same period. After its release, it gained a full reputation and aroused the resonance of countless audiences. The film is showing. Meet someone you like and come to the cinema to unlock this summer’s limited heart.


Sugar exceeds the standard, and Wu Nianxuan still "touches" sparks after a summer week.


In the exposed feature clip of "Love Bumper Car", Tong Zhi and Gu Bin started a "one-day date" in the playground with the assistance of friends. Tong Zhi dressed up and dressed up to attend, which not only surprised everyone present, but also made Gu Bin look at it for ten thousand years. The two people with mutual intentions "sweetened up" during the "date" and "touched" sparks and "sprinkled sugar crazily" in the bumper car session afterwards. Many viewers said that they "touched my heart". In addition, Gu Bin’s sentence "You are a little different today" made Tong know that the heart that was already throbbing suddenly bumped into the deer, and the ambiguous atmosphere was pulled to full at this moment. When the audience saw this sugar-sprinkling bridge, they were all moved by this romantic atmosphere and recalled the youth and innocence of their youth.


The film tells the story that Tong Zhi, a senior girl, liked Gu Bin, an alumnus from Taipei for four years. She broke into his world, and he took her to feel the wantonness and enthusiasm in her youth, which surprised her whole youth. The true youthful atmosphere and the sweet love that belongs to youth conveyed by the film have deeply resonated with many viewers, saying, "It’s too real, this is my youth", "Those little thoughts when I secretly love are exactly the same as when I was young, and when I watched this movie, I felt like I was eighteen years old", and everyone who experienced youth can gain their own feelings from it.




Word-of-mouth praise, rising popularity, and love film titles have triggered a "confession tide" for the audience.


The reason why the movie "I’ve always liked you" attracted widespread attention was not unrelated to the strong confession meaning brought by its title, which attracted many viewers to watch the movie spontaneously, and even boys bravely confessed in public after the film ended, making the whole audience witness each other’s love. At the same time, the film also prepared a surprise egg for the audience at the end of the film.

The ambulance service is controversial again. Who is responsible for "moving patients"?

  BEIJING, Beijing, July 14 (Lv Chunrong) A few days ago, a news that "Beijing emergency personnel refused to lift elderly patients" caused public concern. In fact, in recent years, there have been frequent disputes about pre-hospital emergency services, such as unreasonable ambulance charges and who should carry patients. So, do emergency personnel have the obligation to help patients carry stretchers? What are the job functions of the ambulance? What behaviors of ambulances are illegal?

  The emergency personnel refused to lift the 81-year-old patient and said that he could not lift it? 120 response: I did not refuse to lift it.

  On July 13, some media reported that Ms. Cao in Beijing reported that her father had a sudden cerebral thrombosis in the early morning of July 9, and 120 emergency doctors asked her family members to find someone to carry the patient downstairs. It takes family members about 20 minutes to find neighbors to help. The family said that after being sent to the hospital, the doctor said that the patient missed the best rescue time. The family members questioned that the emergency personnel asked them to find someone to help lift the patient, which delayed the rescue time and caused harm to the patient.

  Regarding the specific process of the incident, Ms. Ding, the mother of Ms. Cao, said in an interview with the media that at about 5 am on the 9 th, the 81-year-old wife suddenly had symptoms such as crooked mouth, unclear speech and stiff legs and feet. "He had cerebral thrombosis in 2013. I suspected that it was a recurrence of the old disease, so I dialed 120."

  Ms. Ding said that about 20 minutes later, two medical staff came home to check and measure their blood pressure for their wives. The medical staff asked them to find someone to carry the patient downstairs. "They said they couldn’t lift it."

  This matter caused public concern after being reported by the media. Then, did the 120 emergency personnel violate the rules at that time?

  A person in charge of the propaganda department of Beijing 120 Emergency Center surnamed Zhao told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that after verification, first of all, their staff did not refuse to lift, and both doctors and stretcher bearers finally lifted the patient. Furthermore, because the patient was older and lived on an old-fashioned floor, where there were no elevators and many corners, for the safety of the patient, at that time, the staff hoped to find some people to help the old man during the transshipment.

  "Our doctor and stretcher bearer are two men, both of whom have gone to carry patients, and the other female nurse has to take a diagnosis box and an oxygen bottle." The person in charge said, "It’s not that nurses can’t lift it. It’s really because the old man is too old and afraid of danger in the process of lifting the stretcher, so I hope to find more people to help."

  Are emergency personnel obliged to carry stretchers? 120 Response: The relevant regulations are not clear.

  In the eyes of many people, it is the duty of emergency personnel to carry patients, and it should be the obligation of emergency personnel, because this service should be included in the final expenses paid by family members.

  In this regard, the above-mentioned person in charge told reporters that in the relevant regulations, doctors have no obligation to carry stretchers, but as a doctor or an ordinary person, it is a matter of course to give a hand and help others when they need it.

  "The main duty of emergency personnel is to be a doctor, that is, to treat and transport patients." The person in charge said that all emergency personnel have doctor qualification certificates, and some are deputy chief physicians. Like doctors in hospitals, their main duties are to rescue patients on the spot and make a preliminary judgment on their condition. In the process of transshipment, they are carefully monitored and safely sent to the hospital. The stretcher bearers are mainly responsible for carrying the stretcher, but in fact, not every car is equipped with relevant personnel.

  According to statistics, at present, there are 580 ambulances in 120 and 999 pre-hospital institutions in Beijing. The person in charge explained that they are not unwilling to deploy stretcher bearers in each car, but it is not easy to deploy stretcher bearers in all ambulances at present because of the treatment of personnel, the legal system and the relevant regulatory requirements for stretcher bearers themselves.

  Beijing plans to legislate to carry services or provide them by pre-hospital emergency agencies.

  In fact, there has been a long-standing dispute about who should bear the "lifting service" in first aid. Last November, the "China Southern Emergency Incident" triggered a strong discussion on this issue. At that time, a passenger reported that he suddenly fell ill on a flight of China Southern Airlines, but the crew of Beijing Capital and the ambulance personnel at the airport passed the buck on who would carry the stretcher.

  In response to the controversy, in May this year, the 27th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th Beijing Municipal People’s Congress deliberated the draft of the Regulations on Pre-hospital Medical Emergency Services in Beijing for the fourth time, and revised the third draft of the deliberated draft to stipulate the norms and standards of first aid.

  According to the provisions of the draft, pre-hospital medical emergency institutions should provide lifting services for urgent and critical patients in need. If the patient needs the lifting service, he can ask for it when he calls. Each pre-hospital ambulance shall be equipped with 1 doctor and 1 driver, and 2 emergency personnel such as nurses, medical ambulance personnel or stretcher bearers as required.

  For pre-hospital medical emergency institutions that are not equipped with emergency personnel in accordance with the regulations, the third draft of the revised draft clearly stipulates that the Beijing or district health and family planning administrative department shall order it to make corrections and may impose a fine of less than 5,000 yuan; Causing serious consequences, the relevant persons directly responsible shall be punished according to law.

  What other controversial topics are there about ambulances?

  In addition to frequent disputes over who will bear the lifting service, the question of whether ambulance charges are reasonable has also attracted much public attention. In this regard, the above draft also stipulates that pre-hospital ambulances should be equipped with a meter, and a price notice should be posted in an obvious position, indicating the name, standard and price reporting telephone number of the charging item.

  Since May 1st this year, the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Price of Pre-hospital Emergency Care Projects in Beijing has been officially implemented, which regulates the current price policy related to ambulance use and unifies the "ambulance use fee".

  According to the notice, the ambulance on-board visit fee in Beijing is standardized as pre-hospital emergency rescue fee, and the price remains the same every time in 40 yuan. The pricing method of ambulance use fee is changed from "pricing the whole round trip of vehicles" to "pricing according to the actual passenger mileage". The pricing mileage shall be subject to the meter, and there shall be no charge for ambulance vehicles without the meter.

  The specific price standard is: within 3 kilometers (inclusive) in 50 yuan, over 3 kilometers per kilometer in 7 yuan, and less than 1 kilometer is calculated as 1 kilometer. The mileage is calculated according to the actual mileage from the patient to the destination, and no charge is allowed without the meter. This also means that within 3 kilometers, the cost of ambulances in Beijing is only 90 yuan, not more than 100 yuan.

  In addition, refitting and borrowing ambulances is another focus of public opinion in recent years.

  In this regard, as early as 2013, the "Measures for the Administration of Ambulances in Beijing", which came into effect on February 1 of that year, made it clear that medical and health institutions in this city must use ambulances in accordance with the relevant regulations of the state and this city, and may not modify, lend, borrow, resell, transfer, allocate ambulances or use them for other purposes, and may not use ambulances with cancelled institutions or ambulances with non-local licenses to engage in medical services in this city.

Producer Zhang Yan: The Ideal City is a challenge to the audience | Interview with the producer

Dark colors, unkempt makeup, and the result of the relationship was confirmed in the 23rd episode, but it broke up in the 31st episode … The Ideal City is out of tune with the previous domestic workplace dramas in terms of both the picture and the plot.

But it is these special features that highlight its authenticity and solve the key problems that have been plaguing the word-of-mouth of workplace dramas:Suspended weight.

 

Anyone who has lived in the workplace knows that in the workplace, especially in large groups, there will be no overbearing presidents who are wholeheartedly in love, only leaders who know how to weigh the pros and cons and strategize, and there are no employees who are promoted and raised just because they are simple and kind, only migrant workers who wear plaid shirts and work overtime every day.

 

"Ideal City" shows the truest side of the workplace to the fullest.

When talking about why this drama focuses on the group image of the workplace rather than the love line, Zhang Yan, the producer and the head of iQiyi Qiai Studio, asked:"In real life, how much does love account for the young people’s workplace life?"

 

Many people understand this situation, but it is an adventure that the creator needs to persist in filming the "Ideal City" in the end.

 What kind of domestic workplace drama does the audience need?

 

As the mainstream of the screen in recent years, realistic themes also occupy a major share in the film list of major platforms. After making its own drama, iQiyi has been looking for high-quality projects in this field and hopes to make a breakthrough.

 

As early as the autumn fair in 2018, the original work "Su Xiao’s War" of "The Ideal City" was officially announced to be made into a TV series, and iQiyi was also contacted, but for various reasons, it was not finally launched until two years later.

"At the end of the 19th century, General Manager Xiaohui (Chief Content Officer of Aiqiyi Wang Xiaohui) and General Manager Dai Ying (Senior Vice President of Aiqiyi) actually decided the play very decisively on the premise that the director and starring role had not been decided, and only the script was clear." Zhang Yan recalled.

 

Next, the producer, director, screenwriter and the team together refined the plot structure, characters, stories and other aspects of the script on the original basis, especially the creation of the group drama in the workplace. "This workplace is no longer a workplace covered with a love coat, it is aA very solid workplace. "

 

This is the breakthrough point they are looking for, and it is also the place that makes Zhang Yan feel the most challenging and confident.

In their common understanding, the characters in "Ideal City" must be plump, and they must not be masked. "It has no absolute good guys or bad guys,Everyone is rich and vivid.. "

 

Even Chen Simin, who "went offline" early with less scenes, will have something to sigh and sigh.

As a Bole who promoted Su Xiao, Wang Yang, like others, will write to let Su Xiao step down when Tiancheng’s core interests are damaged.

Even Xia Ming, who is in love with Su Xiao, has repeatedly stood on her opposite side in the matter of "making Tianke independent from the group".

 

In the workplace of "Ideal City", everyone has his own complete behavioral logic and persuasiveness, and the characters are plump and distinct, which is very touching to Zhang Yan.

"We always say to do Chinese’s workplace drama, because China’s workplace is special. It is not like the workplace in American dramas and Japanese dramas we watch. The way of the world is inevitable, so there is still" Ideal City ".Show China’s worldly wisdomOn the other side. "

 

At the same time, The Ideal City also showsThe collision of two generations’ workplace concepts.

The older generation of people in the workplace, mainly the founding team of Yinghai Group, pay attention to relationships and circuitous strategies, while the new generation of people in the workplace, mainly Su Xiao, Xia Ming, Wu Hongmei and He Congrong, pay more attention to professional ability in their work and will break the routine and be flexible.

 

Zhang Yan believes that the intergenerational relationship in the workplace is what young people are experiencing now, and the design of the script at this level will resonate with young people.

These are two completely different workplace values or two generations’ outlook on life, which are different times.The collision between idealism and realism.

 

"The editor once thought of a slogan, that is,’ We all become mediocre in giving up again and again’. Su Shi is precisely this negative example. She realized her ideal in every persistence. "

The ultimate goal of "Ideal City" is how young people with ideals can realize their ambitions in the real environment.

 

Artistic expression needs innovation.

 

The fast food era has been long, and the audience will gradually adapt to the cool drama mode. Each episode solves a story, and the development of the protagonist is more like an upgrade in the game.

However, the complex plot of the characters, the restraint of the expression of the characters and the obscurity of the lines in "Ideal City" can’t meet the needs of some audiences to see the drama at a glance, and it is also not suitable for double-speed viewing and as a "magic drama".

 

When deciding to do this project, Zhang Yan was also worried about the feedback from the market, because there were many successful projects that made workplace dramas into love dramas in the past.

Even in the process of watching a film after she is familiar with the script, if she leaves for a short time halfway, she will miss some important details when she comes back to watch it.

 

However, in fact, it is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan has more reflections. "The previous workplace drama practice has achieved good influence, but should it be done?" Did we?More realistic, more realA way to realize the expression of workplace drama? "

 

In "The Ideal City"Not all characters have glamorous appearances..

In the early stage, Su Xiao was always ashamed, wearing cheap and unfashionable clothes and carrying a backpack with the same color as the construction site.

The same is true of her best friend Wu Hongmei, who always has only one hairstyle and wears the same black-rimmed glasses.

 

Sometimes they joke that the director is the most fashionable one on the set. "Since we are doing realistic themes and dramas in the construction industry, we should at least make everyone look like a person coming out of this industry.

If Su Xiao dresses up very fashionably in this environment, and she is famous all over, as many urban dramas do, it is actually a very disobedient thing. How can she wear this dress to the construction site and work in a closed environment like Tiancheng? "

 

Plus the dark colors in the office and the complete roles.No makeup, no peeling, no brightening face.As well as the plot that pays more attention to all beings in the workplace under this atmosphere, many innovations in this drama challenge the audience’s existing aesthetics and viewing methods.

 

"For example, the audience may be accustomed to the emotional line of chasing women and men, but now there are more than 30 episodes, and the emotional line does not occupy a lot of space. This may be a challenge for the audience. "

 

However, after many weighing, the creators still want to try it in the workplace drama.More than falling in loveAll right.

"Judging from the life scenes of real people in the workplace, the proportion of love carried by a workplace drama may just be the normal proportion now."

 

Zhang Yan believes that "artistic expression must not be unified. If everyone copies the original practice, there will be no innovation, and the audience will be aesthetically tired after a long time."

 Do the "T" project by industrialized means.

 

"Ideal City" is not Zhang Yan’s first masterpiece, while "Chess Soul" and "Bones Are Not Begonia Red" are all high-quality projects of Qi Ai Studio, and earlier there was a ceiling called Youth Campus Drama.The best of us.

 

During her long time as a producer, she gradually explored a set of methodology for doing word-of-mouth dramas. Just as human resources look for outstanding talents according to the "T" knowledge structure, she will intentionally use this as a guide to make outstanding projects.

 

"T" type knowledge structurePersonnel are required to have not only extensive knowledge in the horizontal direction, but also deep expertise in the vertical direction.

In the film and television industry, Zhang Yan believes that a good project should have a solid foundation in all aspects, as well asUniqueness and innovation.

 

The horizontal character "T" means "If a drama is a so-called head drama, then every link must reach the level of the head before it can become a head." And a vertical, just like a diffuse change to the soul of chess, Beijing opera to the temples, and workplace group images to the ideal city, are innovative points on the basis.

 

Innovation is actually an inheritance and challenge to the inherent things.It may or may not be accepted, but we need to find its differentiated advantages. "

 

At the same time,Development of science and technologyThe progress of film and television industrialization has also changed many inherent laws of the industry and put forward many new requirements for producers.

"We who do content may be a little more inclined to the thinking of liberal arts students, but now we are more and more aware of the benefits that the thinking of science students, that is, the part of science and technology, brings us."

 

When "The Best of Us" is launched, Zhang Yan and her colleagues will think about the publicity points and predict the future data trends from the perspective of content and their own experience.

Since 2010, iQiyi has launched a big data business, and gradually built a producer-orientedProfessional data service system PBIS, through IP evaluation, traffic prediction and other pre-judgment project prospects, to assist project decision-making.

 

 "Now the accurate prediction rate of our system can even predict a value very close to its final broadcast on the first day and the second day of the content online."

 

The addition of intelligent production means makes the project quality control visual, which greatly improves the work efficiency of the project team. In addition to the publicity and operation in the later stage, big data can also help them to do forward management in the early stage of development and production.

 

"For example, such a theme, such a group of people, what is the space bottom line and high line of market share, and in what range, such as the scale of our investment and the ratio of production costs of each part of different themes. What is the interval value? It can make our artistic creation more controllable and reasonable. "

 

In addition to big data, the filming of "Ideal City" also used different high-tech methods, such as the use of LED screens.

"All the locations you see, such as Tianke, Yinghai Group and even Su Xiao’s balcony, are not real scenes, but LED screens. It turned out that the old way was green cloth, and then special effects were made. Now all the shooting materials are cast on the LED screen. "

 

The addition of these innovative means not only increases the sense of substitution of actors in the performance process, but also is part of the ingenuity that the whole creative team wants to present to the audience the sense of reality of workplace drama.

 

After the broadcast of "Ideal City", Zhang Yan and the team saw many professionals in the workplace and construction industry spontaneously launching the Amway drama, which was their most fulfilling time. "It can be seen that all the efforts of this drama can make him feel this sincerity and truth, and this sense of reality is what we are pursuing."

At present, the professional score of "Ideal City" in the "Phoenix Net Index-Comprehensive List of Movies" applet is 7.4, and the public score is 7.9. Welcome to scan the code and enter the applet to comment ~

Why do tornadoes frequently hit China cities recently? Chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory explained

  [Global Times Comprehensive Report] Recently, strong convective weather occurred in many places in China, and Suzhou and Wuhan were hit by tornadoes. Up to now, 12 people were killed, hundreds were injured and a large number of houses collapsed. In many people’s minds, tornadoes should be a very rare natural phenomenon. Why have the serious consequences of hurting people occurred frequently recently?

  Zhang Tao, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, explained that tornado is a local, small-scale and sudden strong convective weather, and it is a strong and small-scale air vortex caused by air convection movement under extremely unstable weather conditions. The space-time scale of tornadoes is very small, the diameter is generally less than 100 meters, and the time from occurrence to dissipation is several minutes to dozens of minutes.

  From this point of view, strong convective weather is the basic condition for tornado. At present, China has entered a period of high incidence of strong convection, and the types are complex and mixed, mainly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Zhang Tao said that at the beginning of this year, the severe convective weather in China was less and late, but now it has developed to a stage of more and stronger, which is exactly different from previous years. In addition to the conditions of strong convection, the strong low-level jet will greatly increase the probability of tornado. In addition, the plain area is a relatively high incidence area of tornadoes. For China, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Pearl River Delta, the Northeast Plain and the North China Plain are all areas where tornadoes occur frequently. Plain areas are often densely populated areas, so special attention should be paid to prevention and response.

  At present, it is very difficult to monitor tornadoes at home and abroad, and it is difficult to directly monitor tornadoes with existing meteorological observation equipment. Because the scale of tornadoes is very small, this means that the probability of tornadoes being captured by meteorological observation stations is small, and there is almost no direct observation data. Therefore, the direct identification of tornadoes depends on witness. If there is no witness, the occurrence of tornadoes can only be indirectly determined through disaster investigation and radar telemetry data.

  When preventing tornadoes, we should first pay attention to the early warning information of tornado background, that is, the possibility of strong convective weather; When the meteorological department issued an approaching forecast and warning minutes to hours ago, it is necessary to reduce going out and avoid strong convective weather and possible tornadoes in safe places; When faced with the threat of tornado, observe the tornado dynamics outdoors and avoid its path in time. If indoors, stay away from doors, windows and the outer walls of houses. The safest place is the basement or semi-basement. When you go out by car and encounter a tornado, you must never drive to avoid it, nor do you avoid it in the car. You should leave the car immediately and take refuge in low-lying areas. (Ma Jun)

The article on dividends and delisting understands the nine business rules issued by the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

On April 30th, the Shanghai Stock Exchange officially issued nine supporting business rules, including the Rules for the Examination of Stock Issuance and Listing. The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange answered the reporter’s questions on the formulation and revision of the rules. The main contents are as follows:

1. Please introduce the general situation of the business rules issued this time.

A: The Shanghai Stock Exchange has revised and issued nine business rules, including five major business rules, such as the Rules for the Examination of Stock Issuance and Listing, and four supporting business rules and guidelines. Specifically, it includes three categories: first, six rules for review of issuance and listing, second, one rule for underwriting of issuance, and third, two rules for continuous supervision, namely, the Main Board and science and technology innovation board Stock Listing Rules.

In addition, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is formulating other business rules to revise and implement the new "National Nine Articles" and will release them to the market as soon as possible.

II. What are the considerations for the revision of the Interim Provisions on the Declaration and Recommendation of the Issuance and Listing of Enterprises in science and technology innovation board?

A: In order to better support and encourage "hard-tech" enterprises to issue and list in science and technology innovation board, strengthen the requirements of science and technology attributes, and further highlight the characteristics of "hard-tech" in science and technology innovation board, the China Securities Regulatory Commission recently revised the "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Science and Technology Attributes (Trial)", and the Shanghai Stock Exchange simultaneously revised the "Interim Provisions on the Reporting and Recommendation of the Issuance and Listing of Enterprises in science and technology innovation board".

First, improve the evaluation criteria of science and technology innovation board science and technology innovation attributes, and strengthen the key indicators to measure scientific research investment, scientific research achievements and growth. Adjust the amount of R&D investment in the last three years from "accumulated above 60 million yuan" to "accumulated above 80 million yuan", adjust "more than 5 invention patents applied to the company’s main business" to "more than 7 invention patents applied to the company’s main business and able to be industrialized", and adjust the compound growth rate of operating income in the last three years from "reaching 20%" to "reaching 25%" In the exception clause, "there are more than 50 invention patents (including national defense patents) that form core technologies and are applied to the main business", and the requirement of "industrialization" of invention patents is simultaneously increased.

The second is to focus on promoting the needs of scientific and technological innovation and compact the recommendation responsibility of sponsors. Sponsors are required to conform to the national strategy and industrial policy orientation, base themselves on promoting the development of new-quality productive forces, implement the concept of high-quality development, accurately grasp the positioning of science and technology innovation board, and recommend "hard-tech" enterprises with key core technologies, outstanding scientific and technological innovation ability, outstanding transformation and application ability of scientific research achievements, prominent industry position or high market recognition, and strong growth to apply for science and technology innovation board.

3. What amendments have been made to the Guidelines for the Acceptance of Application Documents?

A: The new "National Nine Articles" clearly points out that the sudden "clearance dividend" before listing should be included in the negative list of issuance and listing, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s Application Guide No.1 — — The Acceptance of Application Documents has been revised, and a negative list of issuance and listing has been added to clarify the requirements of relevant application documents. The sponsor shall issue special verification opinions on whether the issuer, its actual controller and the "key minority" such as Dong Jiangao have a significant negative reputation, and whether the issuer has a surprise "clearance" dividend, and include the verification opinions in the scope of the declaration documents.

The aforementioned "Assault ‘ Clearance type ’ The standard of "dividend" is: the cumulative dividend amount in the three years of the reporting period accounts for more than 80% of the net profit in the same period; Or during the reporting period, the cumulative dividend amount in the three years accounts for more than 50% of the net profit in the same period and the cumulative dividend amount exceeds 300 million yuan. At the same time, the total proportion of replenishment and repayment of loans in the raised funds is higher than 20%.

4. What arrangements have been made for the revision of the Guidelines for On-site Supervision in order to further compact the "gatekeeper" responsibility of intermediaries?

A: Shanghai Stock Exchange’s Guidelines for the Application of the Rules for the Examination of Issuance and Listing No.3 — — On-site supervision has been revised, focusing on the following three aspects.

The first is to clarify the principle of "one supervisor to the end". In order to strengthen the warning and shock of strict supervision, it is clear that the withdrawal of the application by the issuer or the withdrawal of the sponsorship by the sponsor will not affect the implementation of the supervision work, nor will it affect the handling of the problems found by the supervision according to the regulations.

The second is to broaden the coverage of on-site supervision. Increase the "random sampling" on-site supervision mode, randomly select the accepted projects according to the evaluation results of the practice quality of the sponsors oriented by the quality of listed companies, and start on-site supervision for sponsors. It is clear that after the deliberation at the meeting of the Listing Audit Committee and before the listing of stocks or depositary receipts, if there are any matters that have a significant impact on the issuer’s compliance with the issuance conditions, listing conditions or information disclosure requirements, the Exchange may start on-site supervision as needed.

The third is to strengthen self-discipline supervision in on-site supervision. Strengthen the self-discipline and punishment of illegal intermediaries and practitioners, urge them to better perform the responsibility of verification and check, clarify the heavier handling situation, and emphasize that sponsors, securities service institutions and their related personnel refuse, hinder or evade the on-site supervision of the Exchange, and falsely report, conceal or destroy relevant evidence, and the Exchange may give disciplinary punishment to the application documents and information disclosure documents submitted or signed by them within a certain period of time.

5. Please briefly introduce the situation that the Stock Listing Rules set up strong restraint measures for dividend failure?

A: This revision of the rules introduces the "other risk warning" (ST) measures for cash dividends that are not up to standard, with the aim of urging companies to return investors with stronger constraints. Unlike "delisting risk warning" (*ST), listed companies will not be delisted just because dividends are not up to standard.

Dividends are not up to standard, and the ST situation is implemented. For the companies that have made profits in the last year and the undistributed profits at the end of the parent company’s statements are positive, the overall dividend situation in the past three years is evaluated. When the accumulated dividend ratio and dividend amount in the last three years do not meet the requirements (that is, the company whose net profit in the last fiscal year is positive and the undistributed profits at the end of the parent company’s statements are positive, the total accumulated cash dividends in the last three fiscal years are lower than 30% of the average annual net profit in the last three fiscal years, and the accumulated cash dividends in the last three fiscal years are lower than 5,00 The repurchase cancellation amount is included in the above cash dividend amount. The index design takes into account the investor’s return demand and the company’s sustainable development needs. The company can independently make dividend plans according to the company’s profit and cash flow during the three-year evaluation period. In addition, the rules fully consider the large R&D investment of science and technology innovation board enterprises and make differentiated arrangements.

When setting specific indicators this time, various factors that affect the dividends of listed companies, such as undistributed profits and profitability, are comprehensively considered. It is expected that a large number of companies will not be implemented ST because the cash dividends are not up to standard. Based on the data of 2022, the number of companies involved in Shanghai stock market is about 30. The rule will be officially implemented on January 1, 2025. The first "last three fiscal years" refers to the year from 2022 to 2024, and the companies involved still have time to improve their dividends. After the formal implementation of the rules, it will promote more companies to return investors with real money.

6. What arrangements does the Shanghai Stock Exchange have for the implementation of the new delisting rules?

A: Based on the feedback from the market, the Shanghai Stock Exchange further explained the formulation and subsequent implementation of the rules:

The first is to clear out accurately and advance steadily. In the case of financial delisting, the operating income index has been tightened, and the market situation and sector differences have been comprehensively considered; Adjust the delisting index of the main board market value category, and fully evaluate the current market situation; Revising the delisting situation of normative and major illegal categories reflects the scientific setting and the orientation of cracking down on fraud. Judging from the overall impact assessment, this revision of delisting rules is aimed at "empty-shell zombies" and "black sheep" as a whole, reflecting "all should be retired" and highlighting the quality and value of listed companies, not at "small-cap stocks". At the same time, the implementation of the rules has set up a new and old cut-off arrangement to ensure a smooth transition, severely crack down on companies that have been faking for many years and companies that have occupied the funds of controlling shareholders and will not be rectified, clarify the investor expectations of delisting risk companies, and strengthen risk disclosure.

The second is to increase efforts and be strict according to law. The revision of delisting rules focuses on cracking down on vicious violations of laws and regulations such as financial fraud and capital occupation. For major illegal delisting, a multi-level and three-dimensional delisting situation has been formed. On the basis of initial public offering fraud, reorganization of fraudulent public offering, fraud to avoid financial delisting and serious damage to the interests of the state and the public, this revision tightens the two-year fraud, adds one-year serious fraud and three-year continuous fraud, scientifically sets the scope of application of major illegal delisting, and further increases the crackdown on serious financial fraud. In addition, this time, companies with ineffective internal control and funds occupied by controlling shareholders will also be strictly delisted. In particular, those who refuse to rectify after repeated occupation and reoccupy after rectification will be resolutely cleared.

The third is to strictly pursue responsibility and strengthen relief. Continue to promote the strengthening of accountability and the protection of investors’ interests. On the one hand, we will resolutely take disciplinary action against delisting companies that violate laws and regulations, and promote the strengthening of administrative, civil and criminal accountability. On the other hand, strengthen the risk disclosure of delisting risk companies, and promote the comprehensive use of representative litigation and advance payment to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of investors if there are false records and other behaviors that infringe on the interests of investors.

In the follow-up, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will earnestly shoulder the main responsibility of delisting implementation, conscientiously perform important duties such as delisting decision-making, information disclosure supervision and transaction monitoring, strengthen delisting supervision, and promote the formation of a normalized delisting pattern that should be retired and cleared in time.

7. What specific measures will the Shanghai Stock Exchange take to strengthen restructuring supervision and reduce the value of "shell" resources?

A: In order to prevent the "empty shell zombies" and "black sheep" who should be cleared out from cashing out, avoiding delisting, disrupting market order and harming the interests of small and medium-sized investors by means of "flickering" restructuring, "three highs" mergers and acquisitions, and blind cross-border acquisitions, the new "National Nine Articles" clearly require strengthening the supervision of mergers and acquisitions and further reducing the value of "shell" resources. In the next step, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will carefully supervise the major asset restructuring of "shell" companies, and strictly supervise companies that have been "delisting risk warning" (*ST) due to lack of sustainable operation ability, and companies that are on the verge of trading delisting indicators to plan major asset restructuring and prevent illegal "shell protection" and "shell speculation"; Improve the coverage of on-site inspection for major asset restructuring of other *ST, ST and other companies, and effectively control the quality of the underlying assets.

While strengthening the supervision of the restructuring of "shell" companies, policy measures such as improving the "small and fast" audit mechanism, appropriately improving the valuation inclusiveness of M&A targets, and encouraging listed companies to absorb mergers have been implemented one after another, and the market policy environment for M&A and restructuring has been continuously optimized. In order to support leading enterprises in the industry to efficiently acquire high-quality assets, listed companies with high quality and large market value will be quickly reviewed according to the provisions of Article 43 of the Audit Rules for Major Asset Restructuring, so as to give full play to the market function of mergers and acquisitions to optimize resource allocation. In the next step, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will continue to support listed companies to implement standardized restructuring transactions, and promote companies to inject high-quality assets and enhance investment value.

8. What arrangements has the Shanghai Stock Exchange made for the implementation time of the new rules?

A: In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the newly formulated revised rules, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will make the following arrangements according to the characteristics of the rules and regulations and with reference to market opinions and suggestions:

First, the audit rules will be implemented as of the date of promulgation. The provisions of the original audit rules shall apply to the first project that has passed the deliberation of the Shanghai Municipal Committee; The first project that fails to pass the deliberation of the Shanghai Municipal Committee shall meet the requirements of the new main board listing conditions and science and technology attributes.

Second, underwriting rules will come into force as of the date of promulgation. The lead underwriter and other investment value research report writing institutions shall write and provide investment value research reports in accordance with the requirements of the Guidelines on Matters Concerned in Investment Value Research Reports.

The third is the continuous supervision rules, which will be implemented as of the date of promulgation. In order to realize the smooth implementation of new regulations such as dividend distribution and delisting to the greatest extent and better protect the rights and interests of investors, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has made specific arrangements for the implementation time of dividend distribution and delisting (including four types of mandatory delisting) in the notice issued by the main board and science and technology innovation board, which has drawn the attention and knowledge of listed companies and investors.
