　　People’s Daily Online, November 21st-Louis Koo and Rene Liu collaborated on the film Happy Birthday earlier, and now they are co-shooting the film Black Dad directed by Zhang Aijia again. Yesterday, a press conference was held. In addition to Gu Zi, Rene Liu and Zhang Aijia, a six-year-old and two-and-a-half-year-old actor in the play also attended. Although Gu Zi had a lot of experience in filming with children before, yesterday he tried to hug a two-and-a-half-year-old actor for a photo, but he also behaved like a chicken and a duck. On the contrary, as soon as director Zhang Aijia came out, he easily embraced the little actor and successfully took a group photo.

　　Play from young to old

　　According to the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, Zhang Aijia, Louis Koo and Rene Liu all attended the press conference yesterday, and talked about their feelings about filming. Zhang Aijia pointed out that this film was adapted from Li Chunen’s novel. I had been hoping to find a suitable actor to play, but when I saw Happy Birthday, I felt that the role of "Black Dad" belonged to an antique, and he and Rene Liu played a couple very much alike.

　　In the drama of Gu Zi and Rene Liu, it is necessary to play from youth to old age. Rene Liu said that the most difficult thing to master is to play when you are young, and it has passed all the time. He joked that middle age and old age are closer to yourself and can be played by imagination. As for playing old age, she said with a smile that she could look to her master Zhang Aijia for reference. Gu Zi also thinks it is difficult to play young, and it is the most difficult to master the irrational and impulsive mentality when he was young. On the contrary, he can do it in style. He said that he was never impulsive when he was young.

　　When talking about cooperation with young actors, Gu Zi said that the young actors who participated in this performance were so smart. He laughed and said that he wondered if the milk powder today was too nutritious, and everyone was so smart that he could easily remember a few pages of dialogue. Rene Liu also said with a smile that if she could give birth to such a lovely daughter as in the play, she wouldn’t mind giving birth immediately.

　　I don’t want to be a father

　　Afterwards, the reporter laughed at Gu Zi’s embarrassment when he picked up the little actor, but Zhang Aijia quickly got it. Gu Zi laughed and pointed out that Zhang Aijia was a mother, but he was not a father himself. I asked if Gu Zi wanted to be a father because he filmed with children many times. He said that he hadn’t thought about it, but it made him realize that being a parent is really a great responsibility. If he is a father, I believe he must reduce production and spend more time on his children. This time, Gu Zi wants to wear old makeup in the play. He said that he spends seven hours every day on makeup and tattoos. He said that after filming the old makeup scene for a week, his skin became so dry.

　　If English doesn’t respond

　　Rene Liu thinks that the most difficult thing to make this film is to dress young and speak Cantonese. In addition, Gu Zi often makes fun of her Cantonese, and sometimes he accidentally makes vulgar remarks. But she pointed out that Gu Zi’s Mandarin has improved a lot. Did she think she was married to Gu Zi? Rene Liu smiled and said, "He is so black." However, she feels that there is a tacit understanding with Gu Zi, which can play a chemical role, but it doesn’t match at all. She also pointed out that it was particularly stressful to shoot the film of master Zhang Aijia this time. Earlier, Rene Liu and Chen Huiyang were photographed dating in Taiwan Province and asked if she was dating. She shook her head. After that, she said she didn’t respond.

On May 20, Wanda Group’s official website released an official statement: The news of Wanda’s large-scale layoffs on the Internet is untrue.

Although the rumors have been cleared up, Wanda’s lack of money and its status as an old man have once again attracted attention from the outside world.

On April 13 this year, Wanda Real Estate underwent an industrial and commercial change, and the legal representative was changed from Zhang Lin to Huang Guobin.

According to the China Execution Information Open Network, on April 20, Wanda Real Estate was twice listed by the court as a dishonest person to be executed, and was forced to execute 841 million yuan and 246 million yuan respectively, totaling 1.087 billion yuan.

On April 4 this year, due to the application of the applicant China Fuxing Co., Ltd., the court officially filed a case, mainly because Wanda Real Estate failed to perform the payment obligations determined by the effective legal documents within the period specified in the notice in the domestic arbitration award case. Subsequently, Wanda Real Estate, Heyuan Fuxin Construction Co., Ltd., and Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. became the executors.

On April 20, the above-mentioned three companies became dishonest and were restricted from high consumption. The specific circumstances were all "having the ability to perform and refusing to perform the obligations confirmed by effective legal documents."

In addition to the three companies, Zhang Lin, the original legal representative of Wanda Real Estate, was also restricted from high consumption, that is, when taking transportation, he could not choose aircraft, train soft sleeper, steamer second class or above, and could not make high consumption in hotels, hotels, nightclubs, golf courses and other places above the star rating.

According to the data, Zhang Lin is a "veteran" of Wanda Group. He joined Wanda Group in March 2000 and has served as the president of Wanda Culture Group, the vice president of Wanda Group, and the CFO of Wanda Group. He also served as the director and general manager of Wanda Real Estate.

In June 2022, Zhang Lin served as the chairperson of Wanda Real Estate. In April 2023, Wanda Real Estate underwent industrial and commercial changes, and the legal representative was changed from Zhang Lin to Huang Guobin.

According to the Tianyancha APP information, Wanda Real Estate has become "Lao Lai" this time, and the real estate project planted in Heyuan, Guangdong has been sued by its former partners.

In addition to Wanda Real Estate, which was listed as the person subject to execution by the court, there were also Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Heyuan Fuxin Construction Co., Ltd. Among them, Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. was a 100% owned subsidiary of Wanda Real Estate, while Heyuan Fuxin Construction Co., Ltd. was Heyuan Yuhai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Zhonghua Fuxing Co., Ltd. held 90% and 10% respectively. This time, Wanda Real Estate was sued by Zhonghua Fuxing Co., Ltd.

On May 16, some media publicly reported that Wanda Group was negotiating with domestic banks to try to extend the maturity of some project loans of Wanda Real Estate. It currently wants to postpone the repayment of the principal of the loan due this year, but the interest payment is not postponed and is still willing to pay the interest.

The situation of delayed loan repayment reflects the debt pressure Wanda is currently facing. DM check debt pass data shows that only one domestic bond, Wanda Group and the same actual controller to be repaid during the year will reach 4.163 billion yuan, and the interest to be repaid is about 714 million yuan.

Jing Shi Law Firm lawyer Zhai Yalong believes that the extension of the principal, but the repayment of interest belongs to the loan extension, generally refers to the borrower’s cash flow problems, can not repay the loan principal on time, can not perform the loan contract, which is a breach of contract; there are also some loan extensions that change the loan period after negotiation between the two parties before the loan expires, and other conditions remain unchanged. This is a normal business conduct, not a breach of contract.

According to previous reports, recently, Wanda Group and some major creditor banks of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and other groups began to discuss the renewal of loans without repayment, but it is only an initial negotiation, and no specific plan has been formed yet.

A person familiar with the bank’s credit business said that just "deferring the principal but repaying the interest" itself is a change in the loan contract, and it is very difficult to obtain the consent of the bank in practice. But if it is "renewal of loans without repayment of principal", this practice is still more common in practice.

He explained that "renewal of loans without principal repayment" usually applies to loan customers applying to the bank for renewal of loans before the loan expires, and the bank conducts loan investigation and review according to the requirements of new loans in advance. If the bank agrees to renew the loan, it will sign a new loan contract with the loan customer before the original loan expires, and settle the original loan through new loans, allowing the customer to continue to use the loan funds. In form, it is equivalent to "deferring the repayment of the principal but repaying the interest."

A person from the Financial Institutions Group with a background in central enterprises said that the bank is definitely unwilling to agree to the request for a loan extension, but there is no way. If it does not agree, it will definitely lead the situation to a more unfavorable situation for itself. But for companies that have done this, even if the loan is successfully postponed, its credit will be reduced, which will affect its subsequent issuance of bonds.

"We have encountered a similar situation before. Some developers have delayed loan repayment. Although the deadline for loan repayment has not yet been reached, for the sake of safety, within our company, this behavior has been regarded as a material breach of contract and losses have been included in the statement," he said.

　　After asking about the types of work and salary, Zhang Yujie, a 40-year-old man from Zhaotong Town, Yunnan Province, picked up the registration form for the recruitment of takeaway riders and filled it out carefully. In the previous ten years, he had worked in many coastal areas. "Working outside is not as good as working at home. You earn about the same, and now you are close to home."

　　Every day in Yunnan, tens of thousands of takeaway brothers ride electric bicycles on the road with hundreds of thousands of people’s rations. With the rapid development of the takeaway industry, a large number of migrant workers return to their hometowns to deliver takeout, forming a wave of takeaway riders returning to their hometowns for employment.

　　Kunming Ele.me returnee rider Su Junbo said that he used to be a factory welder with a monthly income of 4,000 yuan, and he also went to Thailand and Japan to work. After a long journey in the outside world, he decided to return to his hometown to be a takeaway rider. He is now very satisfied with his job. His monthly income of about 7,000 yuan is very stable, and he can take care of his parents and family close to home.

　　Like Su Junbo, Hongtao has been busy during the Qingming holiday. As a food delivery staff, he earns 4.5 yuan for every order he takes. On average, he can receive more than 60 orders a day and earn more than 8,000 yuan a month. Hongtao, who was born in 1989, is 30 years old and his hometown is Luquan. In 2016, he also squeezed into a 50-square-meter rental house with his wife and children and his parents. In 2017, Hongtao paid a down payment for the purchase of a house. At the end of last year, the whole family moved into a 110-square-meter commercial house in Anning City. Hongtao said that returning to his hometown for employment has allowed him to live a stable life.

　　With the continuous growth of online market players, the scale of online transactions in Yunnan Province continued to expand steadily. Last year, the province’s online retail sales reached 77.941 billion yuan, an increase of more than 40% year-on-year. It is thanks to the rapid development of the takeaway industry that the demand for takeaway riders is growing.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of Ele.me Kunming, 85% of the food delivery riders in Yunnan Province currently on the platform are from the local area; the relevant survey results for riders returning to their hometowns for employment show that 93% of the riders said the most important factor is: closer to home.

　　"New economic formats like the takeaway industry are generating more job opportunities." The person in charge said that the platform actively carries out induction training for new riders and promotes "hand-holding". At the same time, it actively provides riders with subsidies for phone bills and vehicles, and there are additional rewards for business volume reaching certain standards. In addition, in order to allow more people to enter the industry voluntarily, since 2017, the company has allowed job seekers between the ages of 30 and 45 to apply for takeaway riders only need to bring their own motorcycles. Not only that, the company has also arranged staff dormitories for free, provided two meals a day for free, and purchased accident insurance for employees. The motorcycles ridden by employees are equipped with accident insurance, and the company will cover the bottom line in case of accidents. " In this way, the employment cost of job seekers is reduced, the employment rate is increased, and employees have no worries when working. "The person in charge said.

　　With word-of-mouth, Ele.me is fully empowered online and offline, some merchants in Kunming, Dali, Yuxi and other places have tasted the sweetness, some local brands are being reborn, and more and more citizens are enjoying the "3-kilometer happy life circle". Consumers have more choices for dining, and the income of takeaway riders has generally increased by 30-40%, which has led more migrant workers who used to go out to work to return to their hometowns as takeaway riders.

　　Former Yongsheng, a professor at Kunming University of Science and Technology, said that under the development of the new economic format, employment opportunities in rural areas such as counties have increased, and the rapid development of emerging markets has also provided them with an income level equivalent to working outside the country. Some manual workers no longer return to large and medium-sized cities to work, but choose to stay in their hometowns.

20.27 billion yuan

In the first eight months of this year, Chongqing’s automobile exports 232,000, an increase of 23.2%, worth 20.27 billion yuan, an increase of 49.4%. Among them, new energy vehicles exported 8674, an increase of 1.3 times, the value of 1.25 billion yuan, an increase of 2.1 times.

Top 3

From January to July this year, Changan Automobile ranked among the top three Chinese auto exporters. Changan has established a global R & D layout of "six countries and ten places", bringing together engineering and technical teams of more than 17,000 in nearly 30 countries around the world.

195%

SAIC Hongyan’s overall overseas sales from January to August this year increased by 195% year-on-year, and some regions even increased by 255% year-on-year.

More than 70

Sailis automotive products have been exported to South America, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Europe and other more than 70 countries and regions around the world.

On October 15, the head of Cyrus Automobile’s overseas business unit received another urging from King Garment Textile, a dealer in Uzbekistan. "Let’s reach a cooperation as soon as possible." The dealer recently took a fancy to the Cyrus Blue Electric E5 model and is eager to sell it in Uzbekistan. Cyrus Automobile has recently received a lot of orders for overseas business like this.

Coincidentally, just a few days ago, Changan Automobile signed a contract with dozens of Mexican dealers, officially launched the Changan automobile channel network in Mexico, and the scale of the network channel exceeded 50,000 units/year.

"Made in Chongqing" cars are increasingly popular in overseas markets.

Statistics from Chongqing Customs show that in the first eight months of this year, Chongqing exported 232,000 cars, an increase of 23.2% year-on-year. In 2020, Chongqing exported only 91,000 cars. In less than three years, sales have doubled.

Most of these additions come from countries that have jointly built the "Belt and Road Initiative".

Take advantage of the opportunity to go to sea

Show excellent product strength

On October 12, Tanzania, thousands of miles away.

At the SAIC Hongyan KD plant, Hongyan tractors are being assembled, commissioned and rolled off the assembly line. These vehicles are not only sold locally in Tanzania, but also in the surrounding African countries.

"Customers choose our automotive products first because of the growth in demand," said a person in charge of SAIC Hongyan’s overseas division. At present, the construction of infrastructure, logistics, social services and other fields in the "Belt and Road Initiative" countries is accelerating, and the demand for related commercial vehicles and professional vehicles has increased significantly.

In addition to Africa, SAIC Hongyan recently exported 100 smart heavy trucks and 500 SAIC Hongyan fire engines to Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries and regions.

Cars are high-value products, and customers will definitely shop around when buying. Why is "made in Chongqing" favored?

In King Garment Textile’s opinion, Chongqing’s automotive products are of good quality and performance, and have strong market competitiveness. In addition, Chongqing’s new energy automotive products are also excellent in appearance and intelligence.

Take the blue electric E5 model he "likes" as an example. This is an electric hybrid medium-sized SUV, using the Sailis DE-i super electric drive intelligent platform, with a comprehensive cruising range of 1150 kilometers and equipped with HUAWEI Hicar 3.0 intelligence system. Whether it is power, space, configuration, or cost performance, it has great advantages in the Uzbek market.

"It can be said that’made in Chongqing ‘cars are becoming more and more famous in the market of countries where the Belt and Road Initiative is jointly built." PT. PTYUNINA, the Indonesian dealer of Sailis Automobile, said that the quality of these cars is stable, and the factory also uses intelligent technology, which greatly guarantees the production capacity and drives the employment of local workers.

From ASEAN to South America, from Central Asia, the Middle East to Africa to Europe, Chongqing’s auto industry focuses on the construction and improvement of a win-win ecosystem in the framework of the "Belt and Road Initiative", and has gained wide recognition and further established a brand effect. Some countries even came here and took the initiative to invite Chongqing car companies to settle down.

Previously, in order to attract Chang’an to build factories in the local area, Thailand has introduced a series of industrial policies including tax relief, consumer cash subsidies, and investment support.

Changan’s layout in Thailand also has many benefits: not only can it further expand its share in the Thai automobile market, but also it can play a leading role in South East Asia and enhance its international competitiveness.

The head of Changan Automobile’s overseas business said that at present, the tariff and non-tariff barriers of key products such as the joint construction of national automobiles have been further reduced, the circulation cost of auto parts has been reduced, the industrial chain and supply chain have been integrated, and the digital economy and green economy cooperation have promoted the application of intelligent networked new energy vehicles. These have opened up a broad space for Chongqing’s auto industry to "go overseas".

According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to July this year, domestic automobile exports 2.533 million, and Changan Automobile ranks among the top three Chinese automobile export enterprises. Russia, Saudi Arabia and Peru are the top three markets for Changan exports, reaching the export level of 40,000, 20,000 and 10,000 vehicles respectively.

The results of other Chongqing automakers are also very impressive. SAIC Hongyan’s overall overseas sales from January to August increased by 195% year-on-year, and some regions even increased by 255% year-on-year; Sailis Automobile exported cars through the new western land-sea channel, from 200 boxes in 2019 to 5,000 boxes in 2022, an increase of 25 times; Ruilan Automobile also exported more than 3,000 cars to the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road Initiative" in the first half of this year.

Relying on hard power

Support overseas strategy

It is not easy for "made in Chongqing" cars to come this far overseas.

From being unknown in overseas markets to gaining market recognition, Changan Automobile has undergone seven or eight years of difficult progress.

At the end of 2015, Changan Automobile’s entry into the Saudi market was met with a "blow": due to the lack of full-chain sales experience in the early stage, the lack of after-sales management capabilities, and the lack of dealer experience, Changan’s business in Saudi Arabia was once difficult, and local users once looked down on Chinese brands.

After learning from the pain, Changan Automobile aimed at the localized needs of the Middle East market and worked hard to "fight a big battle".

For example, in order to better adapt to the local climate and road conditions, Changan technicians drove into the desert to conduct localized extreme heat tests. Over the course of several years, they "lost countless layers of skin", greatly improving the reliability of the product.

At the same time, based on the consumption characteristics of the local population and culture, Changan has personalized the products to make the cars more practical and intelligent.

The preparation is in place. Changan promised to provide a 5-year 150,000-kilometer long quality assurance policy for automobiles, and later the UNI series provided a 6-year 200,000-kilometer long quality assurance policy. Changan’s image as a "trusted Chinese brand" began to be established in Saudi Arabia.

Today, Changan’s users in the Saudi market have exceeded 60,000, and the annual sales volume has increased from several hundred to more than 30,000. Changan has also become the first Chinese brand to enter the top ten sales in the Saudi automotive market.

Changan won the Saudi market, ultimately relying on industrial accumulation and core technology. Through hard work, Changan has built a global R & D layout of "six countries and ten places", with 16 technology and Product Research & Development centers, 17 technology companies, and an engineering and technical team of more than 17,000 people from nearly 30 countries around the world. Whether it is the whole vehicle, chassis, engine, transmission, Changan can fully develop independently.

It invests 5% of its sales revenue in research and development every year, allowing Changan Automobile to give industry people a thumbs up in its capabilities in new energy, intelligence, styling design, and intelligent manufacturing. At present, Changan’s footprint has spread to more than 70 countries and regions around the world, forming a number of key 10,000-level core regional markets including the Middle East, North Africa, Central and South America, and Asia Pacific.

Sailis Automobile’s "going to sea" experience is similar to that of Changan. Since 2016, the company has laid out the research and development of high-end electric vehicles, investing more than 10 billion yuan in the past six years, and has nearly 3,000 core technology patents in the fields of chassis, power, body, safety, etc. It has realized lean, flexible, digital, intelligent, customized and ecological production of multiple models.

At present, Sailis automotive products have been exported to more than 70 countries and regions around the world such as South America, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Europe, and have gradually established more than 1,000 marketing service networks, 3 marketing service centers, and 8 KD assembly plants overseas.

SAIC Hongyan relies on the three core technologies of battery, electronic control and electric drive to build two product matrices of hydrogen energy heavy trucks and pure electric heavy trucks and a one-stop new energy solution of "high performance, high efficiency and zero pollution". At present, the company’s overseas market has expanded from the traditional South East Asia and Africa to South America, Central Asia and the Middle East.

Behind the success of car companies lies the overall international competitiveness of Chongqing’s automotive industry.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Economic and Information Commission said that at present, Chongqing has formed a "1 + 10 + 1000" advantageous automobile industry cluster supported by more than ten vehicle enterprises and thousands of supporting enterprises, and the development of the intelligent networked new energy automobile industry is generally at the leading level in the west.

Compared with other international automobile brands, intelligent networked new energy vehicles have become the biggest advantage for Chinese brands and "made in Chongqing" to participate in international competition.

Speed up the layout

Build a world-class

Overseas development is in full swing, but Chongqing’s automakers are level-headed and looking to the farther future.

The relevant person in charge of Changan Automobile said that under the current trade model of Chongqing and even Chinese automobiles, overseas dealers are mainly responsible for brand promotion, and the path of brand internationalization is still unclear. A unified overseas brand value system and operation management system have not been formed, and the global brand power is still weak.

"The industrial chain layout depth of Chongqing Automobile’s’new track ‘is not enough." Qu Yunchao, a market observer, said that for example, the core technology of battery cells is not well mastered, the layout of high-tech barrier components such as power semiconductors is insufficient, and battery raw materials are not involved. There are certain risks in cost control ability and supply chain stability.

In response to the above problems, what solutions does Chongqing’s automobile industry plan?

In April 2023, Changan Automobile released the "All Rivers of the Sea" plan, which caught the attention of industry insiders.

In the future, Changan will focus on accelerating the product and production capacity layout, launching no less than 60 global products by 2030; continue to build smart, low-carbon, design and other brand labels, and strengthen the overseas construction of the dark blue brand and Avita brand.

In addition, Changan plans to establish more than 20 localized marketing organizations in overseas markets by 2030, with the number of overseas outlets exceeding 3,000, and accelerate the layout of five regional markets in Europe, America, the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

With leading car companies at the vanguard, "Made in Chongqing" Automobile is fully committed to exploring overseas markets, deploying overseas production capacity, and building a world-class.

In the future, Sailis Automobile will take advantage of the product advantages of SERES electric vehicles and Dongfeng Scenic passenger cars to establish a marketing company in Europe and a sales and service center in Africa and America. The company will also rely on the Indonesian production base to give full play to the advantages of localized manufacturing and the customs union of ASEAN countries, and radiate South East Asia and surrounding markets with Indonesia as the center, laying a solid foundation for internationalization.

In the future, SAIC Hongyan will be guided by meeting market demand and establishing a global brand, and steadily promote the transformation from single trade to production localization, from traditional energy to "traditional energy + new energy" two-wheel drive transformation, and from localized trade to localized operation.

In fact, many car companies in Chongqing also share a common desire – to leverage overseas markets to optimize their product mix and make their cars more profitable.

"We need to use overseas markets to support the transformation of the’new track ‘." The relevant person in charge of Cyrus Automobile said that at present, the company’s export models have jumped from low-end micro-commercial vehicles to high-end smart electric vehicles, and the export unit price has increased from 5,000 US dollars to a maximum of more than 40,000 US dollars (the retail price of Cyrus 5 end point exported to Europe is more than 60,000 US dollars).

The reporter learned from relevant municipal departments that, under the impetus of the "Belt and Road Initiative" initiative, our city is formulating plans to promote the international development of the "Made in Chongqing" brand, and will promote the exchange of product access policies and mutual recognition of standards and regulations with key overseas countries or regions in the future.

At the same time, Chongqing will also strengthen overseas financial service support, expand financial support services in key export markets, and help international automobile logistics enterprises improve their competitiveness, so that "Chongqing-made" vehicles can gain a firm foothold and make great strides in the joint construction of the country.

　　With the ding dong sound of mobile phone orders, the back kitchen of the restaurant a few kilometers away began to get busy. Quickly dress up, seal and pack, follow the takeaway "knight" through the city streets, and in a few minutes, the food can reach the consumer. According to relevant agency data, the number of takeaway users in China has exceeded 300 million. The industry surrounding takeout has benefited many people, including unprecedented convenience, huge employment, and more lucrative profits, but at the same time, it has also spawned unimaginable takeaway waste – lunch boxes, tableware, paper towels, plastic film, outer packaging bags… How much is this? We have calculated with consumers in different cities.

　　Look at the quantity:

　　National takeaway user growth to 358 million, each takeaway has multiple disposable lunch boxes, tableware

　　Gao Yang, a "post-90s generation" living in Beijing, is a loyal user of takeout and orders almost every day. At less than 10 am this morning, Gao Yang opened his mobile APP and ordered a roujiamo and a bowl of wontons for 24 yuan. Because it is still the breakfast time of this store before 10 am, the price is cheaper, Gao Yang specially placed an order early. The regular customer already knows how to save money.

　　About half an hour later, the takeaway was delivered smoothly, and the food was unfolded in front of them, along with various packages: the outer package was a paper bag designed by the merchant. When the bag was opened, a bowl of wontons was packed in a paper bowl with a plastic sealing lid; Roujiamo was a paper package with a plastic film inside; there was also a paper-sealed tableware containing wooden chopsticks, log paper towels, plastic white spoons, toothpicks, and sugar-free mints.

　　After eating all the food, Gao Yang paid special attention to it. Although the food was simple Roujiamo and wontons, the amount of garbage was not small: wooden chopsticks, toothpicks; paper packaging, lunch boxes, paper towels; plastic lids, spoons, some even unused, such as toothpicks and excess paper towels, but all went into the trash can.

　　Gao Yang has seen a variety of packaging, and the difference is mainly in the lunch box. "Generally, according to the type of food, different merchants will use different packaging methods." Gao Yang said that for example, rice will be wrapped in a tinfoil box with a layer of cardboard on the outside; dumplings are afraid of sticking, and there will be many plastic compartments in the packaging box, which are also divided into upper and lower layers; liquid foods such as porridge have a high temperature and will use waterproof paper materials; and drinks such as milk tea will also send milk saucers in addition to beverage boxes. Plastic and paper materials are different…

　　Lunch boxes, tableware, and outer packaging bags, along with every takeaway order, will generate such a bag of garbage. Considering the huge takeaway user base, the scale cannot be underestimated.

　　According to iiMedia Consulting’s report, as of 2018, the number of takeaway users across the country has grown to 358 million, and the entire takeaway market has exceeded 240 billion yuan. Previously, data from several major takeaway platforms showed that the average unit price of takeaway customers has exceeded 40 yuan. If this is roughly estimated, in 2018, the country will send out more than 10 million takeaways every day, and the number of packages such as lunch boxes delivered to consumers every day is also 10 million.

　　Zheng Yixing, founder of Beijing Box Lihuo Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., said that according to the field statistics of his company, there are at least three disposable plastic lunch boxes in each takeaway. His company once worked with scavengers under an office building in Beijing to sort the garbage collected from the property every day. It was found that the weight proportion of takeaway garbage generated by the office building was at least 40%, and some even reached 50%, and the volume proportion could reach 60% to 70%.

　　Look at the material:

　　Casseroles, porcelain plates and other materials are increasingly being packaged, but consumers have doubts about multiple uses

　　With the development of the takeaway industry, merchants have begun to make improvements in the packaging of lunch boxes.

　　Luo Maolin, a white-collar worker working in Shanghai, recently ordered a rice pot. The unit price was less than 30 yuan. After delivery, he found that it was packaged in casserole. Check the store that specializes in food supplements and rice on the takeaway platform, and the page details the reasons for choosing casserole packaging. The merchant said that on the one hand, the soil-fired container can be harmless and degraded, which is more environmentally friendly; on the other hand, it avoids the food insecurity that may be caused by pouring boiling soup made at high temperature into plastic packaging. At the same time, the merchant also specially marked that "the goods do not charge additional packaging fees".

　　When ordering food, the store’s packaging fee displayed on the takeaway platform is indeed only 2 yuan. But as a consumer, Luo Maolin has a different opinion: "The wool comes from the sheep, and the price of the casserole has to be discounted from the meal fee." According to industry insiders, when merchants enter the platform to confirm the packaging price, they need to take pictures of the meal, and then choose whether they need a separate lunch box. If necessary, the platform system will display different price options. At present, the price of a package is mostly 1-2 yuan. If the value of the package selected by the merchant exceeds the price displayed by the platform, it will not be displayed on the client, but "the merchant will never do business at a loss".

　　In interviews, many consumers said they had received takeout packages made of casseroles, porcelain plates, glass bottles, and other materials because they seemed more valuable and were recycled containers. Some also confirmed with the merchant whether they needed to recycle them, while others considered it a pity to discard them, but they were not assured of long-term use.

　　Shen Qihui, who works at a law firm in Beijing, found that the degree of "luxury" of the packaging is directly related to the price of takeaway. If it is relatively expensive food such as sea cucumber and abalone, it is generally used in casseroles or glass containers. The tableware is also made of iron, which looks better texture. But because these tableware is easy to break, it will be added shock-proof packaging or tightly wrapped with hard cardboard on the outside, which will add additional packaging materials. Many consumers say that these tableware is wasteful to use once, but even if they are left for secondary use at that time, they are often thrown away after a long time. "After all, I didn’t buy it myself, so I don’t worry."

　　It is true that there are takeaways who visit the recycled tableware again, but they are in the minority. Qian Hazel, a white-collar worker in Guangzhou, once ordered takeout from a hot pot restaurant of a certain brand, and welcomed a takeaway brother who delivered a full set of services. I saw that the takeaway brother carried a large box to the door, which contained not only lunch boxes and tableware containing hot pot ingredients, but also pots, induction cookers, sockets and plastic tablecloths. "As soon as you enter the door, the takeaway brother will help spread the plastic tablecloth. After eating the hot pot, you only need to put the pots, induction cookers, lunch boxes and other things into the box and put them at the door. The takeaway brother will recycle according to the time reserved in advance." For such a takeaway service, all goods are marked with "no additional packaging fee", but the pots and stoves provided to customers will be charged 50 yuan for use, recycling and cleaning.

　　Look at the disposal:

　　Lunch boxes, tableware, and outer packaging need to be reduced, and platforms and merchants can do more. Garbage classification brings benefits

　　How can we help reduce the amount of takeaway waste? For tableware such as chopsticks and spoons, many platforms have launched the option of automatically checking whether tableware is required, but in actual use, there are common problems.

　　"The tableware can be prepared by yourself and used repeatedly, which is very easy to achieve." Zhang Tian, who is an intern in Shanghai, said that there are often cases where tableware is ticked off on the takeaway platform and finally delivered. Depending on the total amount of food, several sets of tableware are sometimes sent, and the unused ones are finally thrown away.

　　In different places such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., consumers generally report the existence of this problem. According to industry insiders, in many merchant stores, takeaway packaging is prepared in advance, especially during lunch time, which may take three or four hundred takeaways within two hours. In order to catch up with orders, merchants often do not distinguish between which tableware is needed and which is not. "Although one or two copies does not seem to take time, it adds up to a lot. When the orders arrive in a centralized manner, the merchants simply do not care about these." This also leads to in many places, whether to tick the tableware option is useless.

　　In terms of lunch boxes, many consumers say that because food has to be transported over several kilometers, containers and outer packaging such as lunch boxes are essential, but merchants can try to avoid excessive packaging. "For example, sometimes in order to prevent leakage, merchants will wrap many layers of plastic wrap around the outside of the lunch box, which cannot be unwrapped, which not only wastes materials and causes environmental pollution, but also brings great inconvenience," Gao Yang said. In addition, there are some disposable plastic lunch boxes and tableware packaging similar to waist seals, which are too thick, and the ornamental function is also greater than the use value.

　　In Zheng Yixing’s opinion, there is no good alternative and solution to the large amount of takeaway waste currently generated, especially lunch boxes, but there is still room for efforts by all parties in the industrial chain. On the one hand, the platform can carry out stricter environmental control, including providing users with feedback channels on the performance of merchants in environmental protection, such as whether they do not send tableware on demand, etc., and can also use the environmental evaluation of merchants as a ranking indicator to guide merchants and consumers to choose more environmentally friendly dining methods; on the other hand, merchants should exercise stricter self-restraint, including providing customers with safer food packaging.

　　Specialized institutions and companies have emerged in the market for how to further recycle a large amount of takeaway waste. In the past, during the recycling process, the food waste, moisture, grease and other recyclables in the takeaway lunch box were easily polluted, which made it lose the value of recycling or brought excessive disposal costs. However, since Shanghai first implemented garbage sorting in the country, the recycling and reuse of takeaway waste is also considered to have ignited "new hope".
