Light Media won the cumulative box office champion in the first half of the year with 1.356 billion yuan, followed by Bona’s four films with 890 million yuan, followed by Wanda Film and Television with 877 million yuan. Although Huayi has six films, the box office revenue is not ideal, and it has become the only company with an average box office of less than 100 million. In the TOP10 domestic box office, Wanda has 9 seats with 3 films, 2 Bona films, 2 Light films and 2 LeTV films.

TOP 1 light media 1.356 billion

　 　 In the first half of the year, Light Media has released six films, and the box office of 1.356 billion accounts for nearly 34% of the annual target of 4 billion. At the beginning of the year, Light Media released a plan, indicating that the number of films is expected to be 14-15 this year, and there are as many as five animated films in the plan. At present, only one film is released.

　 　 The first-quarter financial report released by the company shows that the cumulative output of three films in the first quarter was 715 million, and the final main business income of the film was 72.0255 million, down 49.89% compared with the same period in 2013. The box office conversion rate in the first quarter was only 10%, and the box office "gold content" needs to be improved.

　 　 In the second quarter, two love movies were released, and as of June 30th, the total achievement was 640 million, accounting for 47% of the total box office output in the first half of the year. According to the current information, only two movies were confirmed to be released in the second half of the year, and the previous movies only accounted for 50% of the plan announced at the beginning of the year.

TOP 2 Bona Film 890 million

　 　 In the first half of the year, Bona’s four films accumulated 890 million box office, rising to the second place of private film companies. In the first quarter, they became the main box office with over 500 million box office, contributing nearly 60% of the box office results. In the second quarter, the series of films received about 310 million box office, and the performance was remarkable.

　 　 The schedule has changed several times, and it is currently scheduled to be released in the third quarter. The release plan in the second half of the year will be a box office dark horse worth looking forward to; Although it is tentatively scheduled to be released in December, from the current progress, it may be difficult for the film to produce box office this year.

TOP 3 Wanda Movie and Television 877 million

　 　 In the first half of the year, four films of Wanda Film and Television ranked third with a cumulative box office of 877 million, and only released in the second quarter. As can be seen from the released films, Wanda films are diversified. At the beginning of April, Wanda Pictures released the "New Film Plan for 2014", announcing nine new film plans, including, big film version,, "We were lovelorn together in the year of graduation",, and other new works. The types of works span various fields such as suspense, action, love, adventure and animation, but the promotion of each project is unknown at present, and there is no clear information in the release plan for the second half of the year.

　 　 Its China adventure masterpiece "Ghost Blowing Lights O Seeking Dragons", which is combined with Huayi and Light, is clearly scheduled for December 18th, 2015, and Wanda’s film and television plan in the second half of this year remains a mystery.

TOP 4 LeTV Pictures 816 million

　 　 At the beginning of the year, LeTV announced its annual box office plan of 3 billion yuan. In the first quarter, it achieved a total box office of 380 million yuan, 13% of the annual box office target of 3 billion yuan. In the second quarter, after Zhang Yimou joined LeTV, China’s first 4K/IMAX literary blockbuster achieved about 300 million, ranking third in the box office of Zhang Yimou’s works. The word-of-mouth of the 3D giant system was not ideal, and it finally received 140 million box office, with a cumulative box office of 816 million in the first half of the year, achieving 27% of the annual target value.
　
　 　 After the series operation in the second half of the release plan, the box office output should be guaranteed; Whether the old boys movie can become a dark horse remains to be tested; John Woo’s blockbuster, which is scheduled to be released at the end of the year, may become the main box office output, but the final schedule has yet to be determined.

TOP 5 Huayi Brothers 541 million

　 　 In the first quarter, three films of Huayi Brothers made a total box office achievement of 340 million. According to its first quarter financial report, the film revenue was 95.3061 million, and the box office conversion rate was only 28%. During the reporting period, the company’s film and its derivative revenue decreased by 78.35% compared with the same period in 2013, mainly because the films released in the same period last year achieved good box office results. In the second quarter, films such as,, and so on were released, but the box office did not rebound significantly.

　 　 According to the company’s announcement, there will be more than 10 films released by Huayi Brothers this year, and other films are tentative except for the release date in the second half of the year. "Love Times of WeChat" and war blockbusters are being filmed, and the rest of the projects are in the early stage of preparation. It is still unknown whether the films will have box office output this year. The films planned to be released in the second half of the year have high gold content, and the box office may increase substantially.

　　Whether agriculture is strong or not, whether the countryside is beautiful or not, and whether farmers are rich or not determine the quality of a well-off society in an all-round way. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to implement the rural revitalization strategy. When the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attended the deliberation in the Shandong delegation during the two sessions, he delivered an important speech on the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, emphasizing the need to implement the rural revitalization strategy in a down-to-earth manner. Implementing the rural revitalization strategy is the general starting point for doing a good job in "agriculture, countryside and farmers" in the new era. Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said in an interview that the rural revitalization strategy conforms to the phased changes in urban-rural relations and follows the laws of agricultural and rural modernization. It is a major strategic deployment that is related to the overall situation, fundamental and long-term, and has opened a new era of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". With greater determination, clearer goals and more powerful measures, we should promote the all-round upgrading of agriculture, the all-round progress of rural areas and the all-round development of farmers, take the road of rural revitalization in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, make agriculture a promising industry, make farmers an attractive profession, and make rural areas a beautiful homeland that lives and works in peace.

　　Investing in real money and relying on hard work to promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.

　　At the Central Rural Work Conference, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned the "seven ways" of rural revitalization in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and in the Shandong delegation, he also talked about promoting the "five revitalization" of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology and organization, which is the direction, focus and overall deployment of rural revitalization strategy.

　　Han Changfu said that there is a lot of work to be done to implement the rural revitalization strategy. To sum up, we should grasp the "three major issues". The first is to make major plans. According to the requirements of "five in one", we should plan from the aspects of industrial development, rural layout, land use, infrastructure and public services, draw a blueprint and stick to it to the end. The second is to introduce major policies. It is necessary to study and introduce relevant policies, promote institutional innovation, and enhance the vitality of rural development. The third is to implement major actions. Rural revitalization requires real money and money, as well as real knives and guns. It is necessary to adhere to the problem orientation, adhere to the shortcomings, plan and implement the three-year action of rural human settlements improvement, the action of revitalizing villages and strengthening counties through industry, and lay a solid foundation for three years of precision poverty alleviation.

　　Among the "five revitalization" emphasized by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the first revitalization is the revitalization of rural industries. Industrial prosperity is the focus of rural revitalization. It is necessary to improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture and increase farmers’ income by developing modern agriculture. First, we should further adjust and optimize the agricultural structure, promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in agriculture, solve the problem of farmers’ transfer of employment and extend the industrial chain of agriculture. Second, it is necessary to promote quality to promote agriculture and green development, and realize the coordination and unity of ensuring supply, income and ecology. Third, we should expand the function of agriculture, link agriculture with rural society, culture and farming civilization, and also link urban and rural areas.

　　It is necessary to achieve rapid development, transformation and upgrading of agriculture through industrial revitalization and promote all-round progress in rural ecological environment, rural civilization and social governance under the general pattern of rural revitalization.

　　Respect the dominant position of farmers, and constantly improve the sense of acquisition, happiness and security of hundreds of millions of farmers.

　　Farmers are the main body to implement the rural revitalization strategy, and to promote rural revitalization, we must rely on farmers for the sake of farmers. This is one of the basic principles defined in the No.1 Document of the Central Committee.

　　Han Changfu said that on the one hand, we should give full consideration to the interests of farmers while adhering to their dominant position. It is necessary to take promoting farmers’ overall well-off and common prosperity as the starting point and the end result, so that hundreds of millions of farmers can share the fruits of reform and development.

　　On the other hand, farmers should be actively involved in rural construction. We should respect the initiative of farmers and give full play to their creative spirit. Now all kinds of investors come to participate in agricultural and rural construction, including industrial and commercial enterprises, migrant workers, college students, scientific and technological personnel, etc. We encourage and welcome them, but we must not forget that farmers are the most important subjects, and we must mobilize their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. The government should help plan, guide and support what to do and how to do rural revitalization, but it can’t replace farmers’ decision-making, let alone engage in coercive orders against their wishes.

　　The situation in rural areas of China is very different, and the basis of development varies from place to place. To implement the rural revitalization strategy, we should proceed from the rural reality, have historical patience, scientific planning, precise policy, pay attention to quality, follow the laws of rural development, and make urban and rural areas different and beautiful.

　　Promote the solution of the problems of good people, land and money, and implement the priority development of agriculture and rural areas.

　　When deploying and implementing the rural revitalization strategy, the 19th National Congress emphasized that priority should be given to the development of agriculture and rural areas. How to implement the priority development of agriculture and rural areas? The key is to implement institutional arrangements.

　　Han Changfu said that the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy should implement the "four priorities", that is, giving priority to cadre allocation, giving priority to factor allocation, giving priority to capital investment, and giving priority to public services. It is necessary to strengthen research in these aspects, which should be reflected in institutional mechanisms and specific policies. To implement the rural revitalization strategy, a large number of modern resource elements need to be put into agricultural and rural construction, and the key is to solve the three problems of "people, land and money".

　　Focusing on solving the problem of "people", we should cultivate and attract talents from all walks of life to participate in rural construction. It is necessary to cultivate new professional farmers and expand the main body of new agricultural management; Grasp "attracting talents to attract phoenix" and attract all kinds of talents to start businesses and innovate in rural areas.

　　Focus on solving the problem of "land" and strengthen the institutional supply of rural revitalization. It is necessary to innovate the land income distribution mechanism and solve the dilemma of "rural land can’t be used and used badly". The contracted land should keep the land contract relationship stable and unchanged for a long time, and implement the "separation of powers"; Homestead should explore relevant policies, revitalize idle farmhouses and homesteads, take the road of "separation of three powers", and moderately release the right to use on the basis of insisting that the ownership of homesteads belongs to farmers’ collectives and the qualification belongs to members of collective economic organizations; Collective construction land should explore direct access to the market to achieve the same land, the same rights and the same price.

　　Focus on solving the problem of "money" and strengthen investment support. Public finance should be tilted towards "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", gradually solve the problems of infrastructure, public services and other debts, and accelerate the filling of shortcomings in the field of poverty alleviation.

　　Han Changfu said that in recent years, private capital investment in rural areas has grown rapidly. For industrial and commercial capital to go to the countryside, we should encourage and welcome it, optimize the environment, protect its enthusiasm, and at the same time strengthen guidance and regulation.

　　Since June 2,Rainstorm warninglinkContinue to punch in for 32 days.Since June, three heavy rains have covered 60% of counties (cities) in southern China, with wide rainfall range, heavy rainfall and strong extremes. The rainfall in many places has broken historical records, with an average rainfall of 112.7 mm, which is 13.5% more than normal, and the ninth highest since 1961.

　　Rainfall in many places broke the historical record and entered Mei early.

　　In June 2020, the national average rainfall was 112.7 mm, which was 13.5% higher than the normal period (99.3 mm), the ninth highest since 1961 (the first highest in 1998).

　　In June 2020, the rainfall in many places was more than that in the same period of history and all the year round. The precipitation in north-central northeast, southeast northwest, Jianghuai, Jianghan, northern Jiangnan, eastern southwest, northeastern Guangxi and central Tibet is generally 50% to 1 times higher than normal, and it is 1-2 times higher in eastern Heilongjiang, most of Jiangsu, most of Anhui, central Hubei and northern Hunan. The precipitation in Hubei is the highest in the same period of history, and Jiangsu and Heilongjiang are the second highest in the same period of history, and Anhui is the third highest. ?

　　The south of the Yangtze River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jianghuai region in China entered the Meiyu period on June 1, 9 and 10 respectively, 7 days, 5 days and 11 days earlier than normal.

　　Three heavy rains covered 60% of counties (cities) in the south.

　　Since June, there have been three rainstorm processes in South China: from June 2 to 10, from June 12 to 25 and from June 27), with a wide coverage, long duration and heavy rainfall. Nearly 60% of counties (cities) in South China have experienced rainstorm. Although the rain belt swings greatly from north to south, there is a high degree of overlap between heavy rainfall areas. Heavy rains occur frequently in central Guangdong, eastern Guangxi, central Jiangxi, central Zhejiang and southern Anhui, and the accumulated rainfall is large. ?

　　Since June, the number of rainstorm days in most parts of southern China has been more than normal, and some areas in Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Guangxi and Guizhou have been more than 3 to 5 days. The extreme of heavy precipitation is prominent.

　　The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a rainstorm warning for 32 days.

　　Since June 2, the rainstorm warning has been punched for 32 days.

　　Should the subtropical high "back the pot"?

　　Since June this year, the western Pacific subtropical high (subtropical high) has been continuously strong, and the abnormal anticyclone wind field prevails in the lower troposphere of the northwest Pacific. The water vapor transport from the South China Sea and the western Pacific is obviously strong on the west side of the subtropical high, which provides abundant water vapor conditions for continuous precipitation in the southern region. In early June, the ridge line of the subtropical high was located in the north, and the water vapor convergence in South China and Jiangnan was strong, resulting in extreme precipitation in South China and Jiangnan in early June. After mid-June, the subtropical high obviously moved northward, and the position of the ridge line swung from north to south (the position of the ridge line is the key factor affecting the position of the rain belt). From the northern part of the south of the Yangtze River to Huanghuai area, the southwest wind prevailed and the water vapor transport was strong. At the same time, the cold air in the north frequently goes south, which makes the cold and warm air masses meet in the northern part of Jiangnan to Huanghuai area, forming persistent heavy precipitation, which is obviously more.

Soda futures continue to rise

The price of soda ash futures rose for the eighth consecutive trading day, with the main intraday increase exceeding 3%, reaching the highest point of 1964 yuan since March 7. This round of price increase is mainly influenced by the domestic macroeconomic data. The overall atmosphere of the chemical sector has warmed up, and some soda enterprises have closed orders or temporarily reduced production, which has promoted the continuous rise of the futures price. Market bulls actively followed up and market sentiment was boosted.

Huawen Futures Investment Research Team pointed out that the current price of soda ash futures is close to the cost line of high-cost ammonia-alkali method, which has formed a certain supporting role. Some soda production enterprises have planned to close orders or temporarily reduce production and adopt the strategy of price protection. Recently, maintenance and resumption of production coexist, supply disturbance is enhanced, and the price fluctuation of soda ash is intensified. In addition, the production and sales of downstream float glass rebounded, the demand for replenishment increased, the tentative price increase in Shahe area, the upward price of photovoltaic glass, and the commissioning of new production capacity all supported the spot and futures prices of soda ash.

In the spot market, the domestic price of soda ash fluctuated and adjusted, and some enterprises closed orders and raised prices at low prices. China National Salt Kunshan gradually resumed production, and the supply side fluctuated and adjusted, and the enterprise mainly delivered goods. The downstream demand fluctuates little, and the market sentiment is cautious. It is expected that the soda ash market will remain stable and volatile in the short term.

On the supply side, some soda plants have been overhauled recently, which has eased the supply pressure. The adjustment of the cost of soda ash and the price of raw materials led to the differentiation of profits of different methods. The profit of ammonia-alkali method increased by 9.48 yuan/ton, while the profit of combined alkali method decreased by 45 yuan/ton. Despite the suspension of maintenance of some units, the operating rate of domestic soda ash still fell to 83.50%, and the output decreased last week, and the overall supply pressure was eased.

On the demand side, the demand of soda ash market has been sluggish recently, new orders have slowed down, and the market has a strong wait-and-see mood. However, some downstream banks have replenishment plans, and the overall demand remains stable. Although the downstream quotation stabilized, the transaction performance was weak.

The data shows that as of April 7, 2024, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 916,800 tons, an increase of 41,800 tons from the previous month or 4.78%. Among them, the light inventory is 370,000 tons, and the heavy inventory is 546,800 tons. This state of accumulation has put pressure on the market mentality, and the market wait-and-see mood has intensified.

Analysts believe that the current soda ash futures price is supported near the cost line of high-cost ammonia-alkali method. Some production enterprises adopt the plan of sealing orders and temporarily reducing production, and have the strategy of insuring prices. The supply disturbance is enhanced, and the price fluctuation of soda ash is intensified.

Huawen Futures Investment and Research Team predicts that the soda ash signing is still dominated by light soda in the near future. After the replenishment in the early stage, with the new production capacity put into production, the soda ash market as a whole is weak and difficult to change. The contradiction between strong supply and weak demand is obvious, and the accumulated pressure increases. Even if there is a rebound, it may only be a short-term phenomenon, and it is difficult to form a trend reversal. The cost line of ammonia-alkali process will continue to support the current price of soda ash. In the near future, soda ash futures may fluctuate widely near the cost line of ammonia-alkali method, so investors should enter the market cautiously.

The market pays attention to the US inflation data and the minutes of the Fed meeting.

While evaluating the economic situation and interest rate prospects, investors are also paying close attention to the US inflation data in March. Recent non-farm payrolls data and comments from Fed officials have made investors doubt about the time and frequency of interest rate cuts this year.

The non-farm payrolls report released last Friday far exceeded expectations, showing the resilience of the labor market. Minneapolis Fed President Kashkali said that according to the economic development, interest rates may not be cut this year.

The consumer price index (CPI) of the United States in March will be released at 20:30 tonight. Economists expect the monthly rate of CPI to increase by 0.3% and the annual rate to increase by 3.7%. Higher-than-expected data may aggravate people’s concerns about long-term high interest rates and reduce the market’s expectation of the Fed’s interest rate cut.

If the inflation data is higher than expected, it may aggravate the market’s worries about inflation, and the pace of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve may be hindered. Precious metals such as gold and silver may maintain linkage with the US dollar, showing an upward trend. If the inflation data is lower than expected, it may accelerate the pace of the Fed’s easing policy. The expectation of interest rate cuts in June may heat up, the US dollar may be under pressure, and precious metals such as gold and silver may maintain an upward trend. Of course, investors are not excluded from selling safe-haven assets such as gold and turning to high-risk assets such as stocks. At that time, gold and silver may fall under pressure.

In addition, the minutes of the Fed’s latest monetary policy meeting will be released at 2:00 am Beijing time on Thursday. At the meeting in March, the Federal Reserve kept the interest rate in the target range of 5.25%-5.50% for five consecutive meetings. Economists believe that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell’s speech at the meeting is biased towards doves, and the bitmap shows that officials think that interest rates may be cut three times this year. Prior to this, economists expected the Fed to reduce its forecast of interest rate cuts this year to two.

The minutes of the upcoming meeting will reveal the Fed’s discussion on the table reduction plan. At the beginning of the epidemic, the Federal Reserve purchased a scale of 5 trillion US dollars.

　　From towering skyscrapers to small and exquisite chronograph watches, glass can be seen everywhere in life.

　　Peng Shou, deputy to the National People’s Congress, academician of China Academy of Engineering, chief engineer of China Building Materials Group and president of China Building Materials Research Institute of Glass New Materials, said in an interview that it is necessary to vigorously promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in the glass industry, so that the glass industry in China can "go green".

　　In fact, glass should not only "go green", but also be expected to "rejuvenate" — — With the increase of service time, glass will age, which is usually accompanied by the deterioration of physical and mechanical properties. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to how to "rejuvenate" aging glassy substances and restore their properties.

　　At the end of 2022, Jiang Minqiang, a researcher at the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed a new mechanism for the rejuvenation of severely aging metallic glass through research, which deepened the understanding of the rejuvenation of glass structure. Relevant research results were published in Fundamental Research, a multidisciplinary English journal headed and sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

　　Glass aging: a slow transition from disorder to order

　　To make glass "rejuvenate", we must first understand how glass "ages".

　　Jiang Minqiang introduced that from a microscopic point of view, glass is an amorphous solid with irregular structure. He gave an example to the reporter: in crystalline solids such as steel, atoms are arranged in an orderly manner like students sitting quietly in a classroom, showing a regular shape. In glass, an amorphous solid with irregular structure, atoms are just like students after class, running around the campus, showing a disorderly arrangement.

　　The phenomenon of glass aging, in essence, is the transition of glass from the disordered state when it was initially formed to the orderly state. "Generally speaking, the total energy of matter is higher in disorder state, while in order state, the total energy of matter is lower. As time goes on, glass will gradually change from a high-energy state to a low-energy state. This process is generally called glass aging. " Jiang Minqiang explained that if the aging time is long enough, or the aging is accelerated by heating up, the glass can even be transformed into a solid crystal with a regular structure.

　　Glass aging will affect many properties of glass, such as toughness, optical properties and electrical conductivity, which is a phenomenon that people want to delay or even avoid. Therefore, as a process of reversing glass aging, glass rejuvenation has long been widely concerned by researchers.

　　"The rejuvenation of glass is the reverse process of glass aging, that is, the glass that makes the atoms relatively orderly after aging slowly returns to the relatively disordered state of atoms." Jiang Minqiang said. In the previous research on glass rejuvenation, the researchers found that the younger glass will release some enthalpy when it is heated to a certain temperature, and the higher the younger the glass is, the more enthalpy will be released during heating. Enthalpy is an important state parameter to characterize the energy of material system. Generally speaking, enthalpy is the energy released by young glass during heating.

　　"Our research believes that the above views do not apply to severely aging glass. With the increase of the degree of youthfulness, the enthalpy release of severely aged glass has not changed, or even has no enthalpy release at all. " The research of Jiang Minqiang’s team shows that the previous views on glass aging mechanism are not applicable to severely aging glass, which updates people’s understanding of the mechanism of glass structure rejuvenation.

　　"Unintentionally inserted willow": The research result is unexpected.

　　"In fact, the breakthrough of this research stems from our research team ‘ Unintentionally inserted willow ’ An attempt. " Jiang Minqiang said that the initial purpose of this experiment was only to prepare experimental samples. "Our team originally prepared samples for another experiment. In order to strengthen the scientific nature of the experiment, it is necessary to eliminate the thermal history of the samples and ensure that their structures are consistent. We anneal the glass samples at low temperature — — Slowly heat the metallic glass to a certain temperature and keep it for enough time, and then cool it to room temperature at a certain speed. " Subsequently, the research team rejuvenated these glasses in a severely aging state through mechanical deformation. The result was unexpected — — "We obviously input energy into the glass through mechanical work. Why don’t these glasses release enthalpy and become younger?" This is contrary to the previous mainstream view.

　　This result puzzled the research team. In order to solve the mystery, in addition to measuring enthalpy, the research team also measured the high temperature of glass samples (450K— 750K) and low temperature (1.9K— 100K), and then the atomic vibration information and topological structure information of glass are investigated. "In the course of the experiment, the research team found that although the parameter of enthalpy release before glass transition remains unchanged in some cases, the effective enthalpy change during glass transition and the atomic vibration Bose peak reflected by low temperature specific heat will change accordingly." Jiang Minqiang further explained, "This shows that enthalpy release is not the only physical quantity reflecting the rejuvenation of glass."

　　When talking about why the enthalpy release remains unchanged, Jiang Minqiang once again explained with vivid examples: "If we put a ball in ‘ Concave ’ The concave part of the zigzag plane, this ball will naturally remain in place. This stable state is like severely aged glass. And if we put this ‘ Concave ’ The zigzag plane is inclined at some angles. Although the height of the recess, that is, the energy level of the glassy substance, remains almost unchanged, the glass state represented by the ball will become unstable, and then the phenomenon of glass rejuvenation will appear. "

　　The results show that, in addition to the previous mainstream point of view, the rejuvenation of glass can be directly reflected in the release of enthalpy, that is, the improvement of energy level, and can also be reflected in the inclination of energy plane, that is, the free volume can be redistributed in space through local structural rearrangement. "This is also the new mechanism of rejuvenation of severely aging glassy substances that we have discovered." Jiang Minqiang said.

　　Expand the scene: provide a broad application space

　　This study also found that with the glass entering a steady flow state, the above three physical parameters representing the rejuvenation will tend to saturation values, so it was first determined experimentally that the upper limit of the glass structure rejuvenation was a "frozen" steady flow state.

　　If water is used as an analogy, glass that forms liquid at high temperature is like water, while glass that solidifies at low temperature is like ice. "The limit of the rejuvenation of the glass structure is that the high-temperature glass liquid is suddenly frozen by rapid cooling, thus forming a similar ‘ Frozen running water ’ The material state. " Jiang Minqiang explained, "In this case, the glass will maintain almost the same material structure as the liquid state under the solid appearance, and its fluidity will reach the limit of current understanding."

　　The new mechanism of rejuvenation of glassy materials revealed in this study not only allows us to better understand the related causes and processes of glass aging in physical essence, but also has great potential application space in promoting the batch rejuvenation of aging glass. "The research team is currently communicating with companies engaged in glass production or research and development, trying to find a good combination point to promote technology to the market."

　　In addition, Jiang Minqiang also found that the new mechanism revealed in this study is also expected to be applied to the preparation of advanced metal materials.

　　"Generally speaking, the strength and toughness of metal materials cannot be both. With the increase of strength, toughness will decrease, and vice versa. " Jiang Minqiang said, "How to overcome this inherent inversion relationship is a problem that must be faced in preparing advanced metal materials with both strength and toughness."

　　The total energy level of high-strength metal materials at the microscopic level is generally very low. If energy is input by heating and other methods, it is almost impossible to try to improve the toughness of metal materials by raising the total energy level, which often requires extremely high energy input.

　　"If we can use the new mechanism discovered in this study to adjust the energy plane angle of metal materials when the total energy level is low, we can improve the disorder of atoms and enhance the toughness of metal materials while maintaining the macro strength unchanged. Through this method, we can effectively avoid huge energy input and greatly reduce the cost of preparing high-toughness metal materials. " Jiang Minqiang said that his team is constantly trying to make a decisive breakthrough and provide new ideas for solving the irreconcilable contradiction between the strength and toughness of metal materials for a long time.

　　The People’s Bank of China plans to set up a re-loan for affordable housing: the scale of 300 billion yuan can be extended for 4 times.

　　On May 17th, the People’s Bank of China announced that it planned to set up affordable housing refinancing. The refinancing scale is 300 billion yuan, the interest rate is 1.75%, the term is one year, and it can be extended for four times. The distribution targets include 21 national banks including China Development Bank, policy banks, state-owned commercial banks, Postal Savings Bank and joint-stock commercial banks. In accordance with the principle of independent decision-making and risk-bearing, banks issue loans to local state-owned enterprises selected by the city government and purchase completed unsold commercial houses for affordable housing. The People’s Bank of China will issue re-loans according to 60% of the loan principal, which can drive bank loans of 500 billion yuan. Tao Ling, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, said at the policy briefing in the State Council on May 17th that the decision was no longer to set the lower limit of interest rate policy for first-home and second-home loans at the national level. For first-tier cities and some hot cities, the city government can still decide the lower limit of local mortgage interest rate policy according to local conditions. If the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market changes greatly in the future, the People’s Bank of China will promptly resume the implementation of the policy lower limit or guide the city government to resume the policy lower limit to regulate supply and demand. After canceling the lower limit of the mortgage interest rate policy, commercial banks can decide the interest rate level independently according to the customer’s risk situation to realize the marketization of mortgage interest rate.

　　Economic Daily: Real estate credit policy is further optimized.

　　The Economic Daily article pointed out that the People’s Bank of China issued a number of notices, explicitly canceling the lower limit of mortgage interest rate at the national level, lowering the mortgage down payment ratio and provident fund loan interest rate, and launching the refinancing of affordable housing. Experts believe that the new round of support policy is the continuation and expansion of the previous real estate credit policy, further enhancing the financial support. The reporter learned from the central bank that by the end of April this year, 67 of the 343 cities in China had cancelled the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate. Financial institutions reported that after the lower limit of mortgage interest rate in these cities was abolished, the interest rate declined to some extent, but after full competition, the market formed a new and relatively stable equilibrium level, which played a driving role in the local new mortgage issuance. Market experts predict that after this policy adjustment, more cities will cancel the lower interest rate limit, and the independent pricing space of some hot cities that retain the local lower limit will also be significantly expanded. In the eyes of the industry, the future mortgage is still the best asset of the bank. It is expected that the implementation of the policy will lead to an increase in the new volume of bank mortgage, which can make up for the interest income from the decline in interest rates to some extent.

　　Tank 300 has been listed in China for some time. Although there have been several "hot searches" in cross-country circles, consumers’ enthusiasm for it remains undiminished. January was the first complete month after the listing of Tank 300, and its sales volume exceeded 6,000. This performance is even enviable. Some people say that this achievement has taken advantage of the withdrawal of foreign hard-core SUV models from the China market, but in my opinion, friends who play cross-country are often the people who know the most about cars. If there is no excellent product strength, Tank 300 will be "selling itself" again, and even no one will really place an order.

　　Why does Tank 300 become a fragrant bun in the hearts of off-road fans? Some people say that it has a girder, some say that it has a differential lock, and others say that it is a technological configuration. In my opinion, it is difficult for a single product to form the excellent off-road performance of Tank 300. Only by combining these can the final Tank 300 be formed. So what excellent off-road configurations does it have?

　　If you ask the older generation of off-road players what a car can be regarded as a hard-core SUV, it will definitely give you three criteria, first, the non-loaded body structure (that is, the beam structure), second, the front and rear integral bridge suspension structure, and finally, the four-wheel drive system with differential lock. Therefore, herdsman, Toyota LC70 (series) and Mercedes-Benz G (old models) will exist in the hearts of off-road players like totems.

　　With the development of consumer demand, the above three criteria are also changing. For example, the suspension structure has basically evolved into a front double wishbone rear integral bridge, which combines the dual needs of road and off-road, such as Toyota Prado, Land Cruiser and Mercedes-Benz G; The differential lock can also be added later; However, the non-load-bearing body structure remains unchanged, because it can ensure the strength of the body to the greatest extent when it is off-road, and the force is more dispersed when it is dragged.

　　There is no doubt that the tank 300 has all the three criteria mentioned above. First of all, the non-load-bearing body structure, after Haval H5 and Haval H9, the design of the tank 300 has become more mature. Ensuring a high-rigidity body structure is the main design feature of the tank 300. For this reason, the maximum cross-section of its longitudinal beam has reached 160mmx130mm, and there are 22 reinforcing plates for reinforcement, so there is no problem in meeting the conventional off-road requirements.

　　In terms of suspension, the tank 300 uses the integral bridge structure with front double wishbone and rear five links, which is also the structure widely used by other hard-core SUVs, including Mercedes-Benz G, Prado, Land Cruiser and other models, except herdsman/Jimny. Its advantage is that it gives consideration to comfort and off-road performance to the greatest extent, and it also has excellent passing performance while ensuring road handling.

　　Tank 300 adopts part-time 4wd system, which has the advantage of simple and reliable structure. Among them, 2H mode is high-speed rear drive, which is suitable for general paved roads. 4H high-speed four-wheel drive and 4L low-speed four-wheel drive are only suitable for unpaved roads because there is no central differential. In the 4L mode, the torque of the tank 300 will be amplified by 2.48 times.
