　　At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, 18 districts and counties in Beijing will set off fireworks together to record this historic moment, so that gorgeous Beijing and happy Beijing will go down in history forever. The fireworks feast at the closing ceremony and the Bird’s Nest will surely become the focus of world attention. To this end, Xinhuanet specially invited Zhao Weiping, the general commander of the Bird’s Nest fireworks display, to introduce the related situation of the Bird’s Nest fireworks display at the closing ceremony.

Zhao Weiping, the general commander of the 2008 Olympic Games Bird’s Nest fireworks display, was interviewed by this reporter.

　　Zhao Weiping: Everything is ready for the fireworks display at the closing ceremony.

　　Moderator: The expected closing ceremony is about to be staged. Apart from the rich programs prepared by ourselves and the 8-minute performance in London, the fireworks will bring the atmosphere of the audience to a climax. What is the preparation for the fireworks in the closing ceremony?　

　　Zhao Weiping: We have basically finished the preparations for the closing ceremony. There are 420 launching sites and 8,138 fireworks in the closing ceremony. It is necessary to rearrange the layout and rearrange the launcher. At present, the preparations include the installation of fireworks, the structural installation and wiring of the shelves. The rest of the time we will do some tests on them and check them a few more times to be foolproof.　

　　Moderator: Will some equipment at the opening ceremony continue to be used at the closing ceremony?

　　Zhao Weiping: The equipment that is exactly the same as the opening ceremony is gone. They have all been readjusted. Because each launcher actually involves different specifications and quantities, basically nothing used in the opening ceremony can be used in the closing ceremony. We hung many launchers again and rearranged them, because after all, the products are still very different. This is the difference between the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony.

　　Moderator: The Bird’s Nest has been in the competition all the time, and the performance place of the closing ceremony is also in the Bird’s Nest, which is bound to bring some difficulties to the preparation of fireworks. What difficulties have you encountered? How do we overcome it?

　　Zhao Weiping: The biggest problem encountered in the construction of the closing ceremony is that the construction is not allowed during the day, and the other is that it rained heavily two nights ago, which brought us some difficulties and increased the intensity of our work. Our team basically worked all night every day. In addition, there is no light on the bird’s nest at night, and we mainly rely on the peripheral auxiliary lights to illuminate the work, which also increases the difficulty of our work. But even under such circumstances, everyone made unremitting efforts, especially the encouragement brought by the success of the Olympic opening ceremony. It should be said that the whole team is United as one and has high morale, hoping to complete the closing ceremony successfully.

　　Moderator: Our staff is still in a very good state, without any slack?

　　Zhao Weiping: No. We also held a mobilization meeting yesterday, which was the last mobilization before the closing ceremony. I hope everyone can make a great effort to make the closing ceremony beautiful. After these mobilizations, everyone is still very active. Everyone performed very well, and I was very touched. I think it must be the fighting spirit of the Olympic Games that encouraged everyone. I am very satisfied with the performance of the team, as a person, as the leader of the enterprise or as the commander-in-chief of the fireworks display team.

　　Moderator: This time, the preparation is quite adequate, but the closing ceremony has not been rehearsed. Will you feel a little insecure?

　　Zhao Weiping: No, because as the closing ceremony itself, there is no substantive rehearsal, but every discharge in front of the Bird’s Nest can be said to be a rehearsal for the closing ceremony. Because each discharge and installation will bring more experience, more protection and more confidence to the next one.

The staff installed the Bird’s Nest fireworks in the daytime and at night (picture provided by Panda Fireworks Company).

　　The fireworks of "Xiangyun", the first appearance of the closing ceremony, will ignite the night of passion.

　　Moderator: Then can you tell us specifically what kind of fireworks will be displayed at the closing ceremony?

　　Zhao Weiping: There are still some differences between the closing ceremony and the opening ceremony. Everyone has seen the opening ceremony. There are five rings, footprints, some beautiful wings on the top of the bird’s nest, doves of peace, countdown in the stadium, waterfalls, lightning, thunder, including the peony flowers we talked about, and dynamic five-color rings, all of which have their own characteristics. We also used the chip bomb (which is the most advanced in the world at present) and used air launch for the first time. These are the results of our technological innovation.

　　Our main product innovation at the closing ceremony is an auspicious cloud. As we all know, Xiangyun has spread all over the world, and we also hope that the creativity of fireworks can be expressed by Xiangyun, which may be different from our Xiangyun torch. There will be spiral and dynamic fireworks at dozens of points on the top of the bird’s nest, which has never been seen before. Xiangyun has two colors, including a gold one. This is a relatively good product, and it took us about half a year to develop it after receiving the task book from the Olympic Organizing Committee.

　　Another highlight of the closing ceremony is that we have a colorful circle on the top of the Bird’s Nest. After typing, you will see a fireworks circle, which is quite beautiful, and it has been launched twice. We didn’t have such a variety in the last opening ceremony. It exploded in the sky after you hit it from below and saw the effect. The products we used at the opening ceremony last time did not explode in the sky, but this time there will be an explosion in the air, which will present a very beautiful scene and bright colors. At last, a round pattern made by a big fireworks will be formed on the periphery of the bowl at the top of the Bird’s Nest. I think this round pattern also indicates the complete success of the whole Olympic Games, which can also be said to be "round and full". Everyone is happy and safe. The Olympic Games shows her moral through these fireworks, so I think these will also bring you some aesthetic feeling and some new visual impact. The other difference between the closing ceremony and the opening ceremony is that we have more dynamic things running fast on the top of the bird’s nest in the closing ceremony.

　　Moderator: So what is the scale of the fireworks display at the closing ceremony?

　　Zhao Weiping: From the top of the Bird’s Nest, the whole scale of fireworks in the closing ceremony is smaller than that in the opening ceremony. This time, we don’t have bowl products, which means that there is nothing inside the Bird’s Nest, and the part outside the Bird’s Nest is basically the same as that in the opening ceremony.

　　Closing Ceremony The Beijing Municipal Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee hope that the whole city will have an opportunity to celebrate together and hold fireworks celebrations in 18 districts and counties in Beijing, because after all, it was almost seven years since we won the right to host the Olympic Games in 2001, and many people all over the country worked hard for it. On the whole, this scale is unprecedented in Beijing’s history, and it can be said that there is no such scale in the world. At that time, after the closing ceremony, fireworks will be lit in 18 districts and counties at the same time. I think this can be applied for Guinness Book of Records, which has never been seen in any city or at any time in the past.

　　The fireworks display at the closing ceremony is not affected by rain.

　　Moderator: If it rains on the closing day, will it affect the fireworks display?

　　Zhao Weiping: This is no problem. Because we have already installed the fireworks, it can be said that the problem of rain has been solved at this stage, and it will not be affected whether it rains or other circumstances. If it rains heavily, of course we will listen to the organizing Committee, but as far as I know, it won’t rain before the 24th.

　　The actions of actively bailing out real estate in various places are still going on. In addition to the deepening of urban policies, the actions of local governments to co-ordinate the deployment of Baojiao Building are gradually increasing.

　　On August 15th, Ma Yujun, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, investigated and inspected real estate projects and presided over a symposium on the stable and healthy development of the city’s real estate market. At least five real estate enterprises and two banks attended the meeting. Prior to this, Ningbo, Zhejiang, Hefei, Anhui, and Xianyang, Shaanxi also held similar forums for housing enterprises. One of the core contents of the meeting was "Baojiaolou".

　　Since July, some owners of "uncompleted residential flats" have cut off their supply and the data of the property market have continued to decline, and the market’s expectations for the real estate relief policy are getting stronger and stronger. After Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party explicitly proposed to guarantee the delivery of the flats at the end of July and stressed the responsibility of compacting local governments, the pace of active relief in various places has also accelerated.

　　What did the housing enterprise symposium "talk about"?

　　At 9 o’clock on the evening of the 15th, WeChat official account’s WeChat "Shijiazhuang Release" under the Propaganda Department of Shijiazhuang Municipal Committee pushed an important message, which may be of particular concern to local citizens who bought faster houses.

　　The article shows that Ma Yujun investigated and inspected a number of real estate projects on the same day, including Yunshufu, Gaoying International, Heshifu, Changyue House, Spruce Valley, Zhongmei Covered Bridge, etc. Some of these projects are under construction, some are being sold to the outside world, and some are at a standstill.

　　After understanding the basic situation and construction progress of the project, Ma Yujun had an exchange discussion with relevant district governments, municipal departments and real estate enterprises, covering the existing problems, solutions and future development.

　　On the same day, Ma Yujun also hosted a symposium for real estate enterprises. The real estate enterprises that attended the meeting and made speeches included China Shipping Real Estate, MCC Mingguan, Hebei Poly Development, Shijiazhuang Vanke, and Rong Sheng, Hebei Province. The speeches mainly focused on the actual situation of each family and constructive suggestions for the healthy and orderly development of the real estate industry. In addition, the two participating banks also made speeches on real estate financial policies and related measures to support the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in the next step.

　　This is not the first city to hold a symposium on housing enterprises. Since July, several cities including Ningbo, Zhejiang, Hefei, Anhui and Xianyang, Shaanxi have held similar meetings. A big background of this phenomenon is that since the end of June and the beginning of July, the owners of "uncompleted residential flats" in many places across the country have jointly launched the action of stopping supply, hoping that those properties that have been suspended for a long time or temporarily can resume work and hand over the house as soon as possible.

　　On July 28th, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party also explicitly mentioned "ensuring the delivery of buildings and stabilizing people’s livelihood". On the basis of insisting on housing and not speculating, it emphasized the responsibility of compacting local governments and encouraged local governments to make full use of the policy toolbox because of the city’s policy.

　　Specifically, the host of local symposiums is mainly the Housing and Construction Bureau, and the main line of content is Baojiaolou.

　　For example, on July 19th, Xianyang Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau organized a collective interview meeting for some housing enterprises to urge them to strengthen their management, shoulder their social responsibilities, try to resolve conflicts, do a good job in prevention and early warning, plan ahead, and speed up the construction progress and strive to deliver the house on schedule while ensuring the quality and quantity of the projects under construction. At the same time, the meeting stressed that housing enterprises should take the initiative, not wait and rely, and try their best to solve the urgent needs of the masses.

　　On July 18th, the previous day, the Ningbo Housing and Construction Bureau also announced that recently, the Real Estate Market Supervision Department of the Bureau and the Housing Management Center convened six new Ningbo housing enterprises, including Weixing and Changzhu, to hold a symposium on real estate policy exchange and publicize the real estate industry policy.

　　At the meeting, Ningbo Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, while interpreting and publicizing the relief policies such as pre-sale, full renovation, fund supervision and real estate regulation in the city, kept abreast of the investment plans and development progress of seven projects developed by six housing enterprises, and listened to the business conditions of various enterprises and suggestions for industry development.

　　Just recently, Hefei, Anhui received high attention because 17 real estate developers jointly wrote to the government, and then the government also held a special meeting, but the content was slightly "special".

　　In a Report on Solving Difficulties by Requesting to Maintain the Business Environment and Enhance the Investment Confidence of Housing Enterprises stamped with the official seals of 17 housing enterprises, 17 housing enterprises, including Longhu, Xuhui and Sunac, as well as Poly, Gezhouba and Greentown, collectively complained to the Hefei Municipal Government, saying that they were faced with some unreasonable group customer complaints and house troubles, and there may be professional house troubles behind them, so please ask the competent government departments to give them a hand.

　　On the morning of August 13th, Yu Aihua, member of the Standing Committee of Anhui Provincial Party Committee and secretary of Hefei Municipal Party Committee, presided over a special meeting on the governance of real estate problems in the whole city, stressing that we should not only attach great importance to the problems reflected by the masses, but also try our best to solve the problems encountered by enterprises and do everything possible to "ensure the delivery of buildings and stabilize people’s livelihood". For the unreasonable demands of a very small number of property buyers, it is necessary to strengthen communication, explanation, education and guidance. If there are violations of laws and regulations, they should also be dealt with according to the law. At the same time, it is said that developers, construction enterprises and supervision units should strengthen credit management and set up special classes to curb the occurrence of incremental problems.

　　Scheme: One-on-one guarantee of building delivery, strengthening supervision of pre-sale funds.

　　In the eyes of the industry, the discussion is only the first step to solve the problem, and a series of policies for Baojiaolou will be introduced in subsequent places. Especially when the macro-economy is under pressure and land revenue accounts for a large proportion of local finance, the pace of local government’s bail-out of housing enterprises will accelerate.

　　In fact, in addition to housing enterprises’ symposiums and real estate symposiums, a series of real estate-related documents have been published intensively in various places recently. From the content point of view, in addition to the 10 billion yuan special fund for real estate relief initiated by Zhengzhou, most policies focus on one-on-one supervision by government leaders and strengthening supervision of pre-sale funds.

　　"Stabilizing the economic market is the primary and urgent task of economic work at present and in the next stage. Among them, promoting the healthy, stable and orderly development of real estate is an important aspect. " Ma Yujun proposed at the latest symposium held in Shijiazhuang that the real estate policy should be further rationalized and improved according to the actual situation of the city, and housing enterprises should be promoted to speed up construction. In terms of specific requirements, relevant departments at all levels should continue to increase the promotion of uncompleted residential flats, compact the responsibility chain, increase coordination, and keep an eye on the time node; Properly handle the remaining problems and speed up the solution of problems such as "difficulty in obtaining a permit" and "difficulty in moving in"; Strengthen supervision and monitoring of development projects and strengthen source and process management. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of pre-sale funds of commercial housing, ensure the closed-loop management and use of funds, and keep the bottom line of systemic risks.

　　For the supervision work of relevant departments, there have been "one-on-one" requirements in many places. For example, at the symposium organized by Xianyang Housing and Construction Bureau, a one-on-one assistance policy was established, that is, a department helped an enterprise to promote the early solution of the problem; The Housing and Construction Bureau of Suining, Sichuan Province also instructed all jurisdictions to carry out the linkage work between housing enterprises and real estate projects. By combing and arranging, 83 real estate development projects under construction and to be built were included in the linkage scope, and each project was linked "one-on-one" by a county (city, district) and a county-level leader of a municipal park, and at the same time, a contact person in the jurisdiction was identified; Mianning County, Liangshan, Sichuan Province, in the Notice on Measures to Promote the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market, mentioned the mechanism of "one plate, one policy and one leadership" for the problems left over by real estate development projects (for problem buildings).

　　According to the news released by Huzhou, the Office of the Joint Conference on the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province issued the Notice on Continuously Promoting the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate in our City on August 15th, which mentioned that state-owned enterprises are encouraged to purchase the unsalable houses of difficult real estate enterprises as housing for resettlement.

　　In view of the storm of supply interruption since July and the phenomenon of "early repayment of mortgage" hotly discussed by buyers, many places have further strengthened the supervision system of pre-sale funds, and even held special bank symposiums on supervision of pre-sale funds, involving Cangzhou, Hebei, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Changsha, Hunan, Dongguan, Guangdong, Jiangmen, Jiangsu, etc.

　　Judging from the latest real estate data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the current situation is still not optimistic. From January to July this year, the national real estate development investment was 7,946.2 billion yuan, down 6.4% year-on-year; The sales area of commercial housing was 781.78 million square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 23.1%; The sales of commercial housing was 7,576.3 billion yuan, down 28.8% year-on-year; The land purchase area was 45.46 million square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 48.1%. Among them, the sales and investment scale of new houses in July decreased by 16% and 14% respectively compared with May, and the year-on-year decline also expanded.

　　Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that since the beginning of this year, the real estate market as a whole has shown a downward trend, and because of the large scale, long chain and wide coverage of the industry, it has a great impact on economic growth and social livelihood. However, since the beginning of this year, all localities have insisted on housing and housing, supported rigid and improved reasonable housing demand, and introduced a number of policies to stabilize the real estate market. The overall downward trend of the real estate market has slowed down.

　　Huang Hongwei, a macro analyst of Caixin Securities, believes that with the Zhengzhou municipal government promoting the landing of the bail-out fund and China Huarong and other financial institutions participating in the bail-out, relevant departments, financial institutions and local governments will follow up quickly, and Baojiaolou will also become an important policy direction for stabilizing the economy in the second half of the year.

　　Judging from recent market news, the supervision of liquidity support measures for high-quality private housing enterprises is also expected to be further deepened. At present, in addition to Longhu’s expected syndicated loan of HK$ 3.5 billion, the market also has higher expectations for the bond issuance method of "China Credit Increase+State-owned Enterprises".

　　Cctv newsAccording to the latest statistics of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, up to now, there are more than 1 million new energy vehicles in China. The Ministry of Public Security announced today that it will promote the application of special number plates for new energy vehicles nationwide.

New energy vehicle number plate "appearance"

　　Since December 1, 2016, five cities in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Jinan and Shenzhen have taken the lead in piloting the special number plates for new energy vehicles. At present, 76,000 special number plates for new energy vehicles have been issued in five pilot cities. According to the unified arrangement of the Ministry of Public Security, starting from November 2017, 10 cities in Baoding, Hebei, Changchun, Jilin, Fuzhou, Fujian, Qingdao, Henan, Zhengzhou, Zhongshan, Guangdong, Liuzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Sichuan and Kunming, Yunnan will be added with new license plates; In the first half of 2018, it was fully opened in all cities across the country.

　　All newly registered new energy vehicles are issued with new license plates.

　　After the new license plate is put into use, all new license plates will be issued to those who register and transfer new energy vehicles. Car owners can go directly to the public security traffic management department for registration, or pre-select the license plate number through the Internet traffic safety integrated service management platform or the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile APP, and then go to the public security traffic management department for registration. When selecting the number, you can choose one from 50 automatically by computer, or determine the number plate according to the coding rules.

　　Voluntary renewal of new license plates for new energy vehicles.

　　For new energy vehicles that have been registered before, the owner can choose to use the original number plate or renew a new number plate according to his own situation.

Wang Qiang, Deputy Director of Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security.

　　Wang Qiang, Deputy Director of Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security.We adopt the principle of voluntariness. You can choose to change the license plate, exchange it for a new license plate or get a license plate. You can go directly to the vehicle management office, or log on to our integrated Internet service platform. Here we provide an appointment network service. You can choose the online store to make an appointment and where to get the relevant renewal. However, those transferred from other places will be automatically given new energy license plates.

　　For those who choose to continue to use ordinary car number plates, the public security traffic management department will also conduct differentiated management through the information system, which will not affect the owners’ enjoyment of preferential policies for traffic management of new energy vehicles.

　　In order to facilitate the people to apply for and install new license plates, the public security traffic management department will add a green channel or special window for the registration of new energy vehicles, set up on-site production points for license plates, and provide free license plate installation services to meet the requirements of the people to the greatest extent. Local public security organs, together with relevant departments and units, have also done a good job in upgrading and adjusting related systems such as tax collection, insurance purchase, fine payment, vehicle inspection, highway charges and parking charges, and implemented differentiated convenience policies such as "unlimited access" for new energy vehicles.

　　Special license plate style for new energy vehicles

　　The special number plates for new energy vehicles are divided into small-scale new energy vehicles and large-scale new energy vehicles, in which the special number plates for small-scale new energy vehicles are gradually green and the special number plates for large-scale new energy vehicles are yellow-green double-color.

Special license plate style for new energy vehicles

　　Compared with the existing ordinary car number plate, the new energy car number plate is added with a special logo, and the overall logo is green, which means electric and new energy. The right side of the green circle is an electric plug pattern, and the color part on the left side is similar to the English letter "E".

　　In terms of the number of license plates, the number of special license plates for new energy vehicles has been upgraded from 5 to 6, and the capacity of license plates has increased after upgrading, which can meet the arrangement needs of "using fewer letters and using more numbers".

　　In order to better implement the national new energy vehicle industry development and differentiated management policy, the special number plates for new energy vehicles are managed in sections according to different vehicle types. Small new energy vehicles will use letters at the first place of the number plate, while the special number plate for large new energy vehicles will use letters at the last place. At present, the letters are D and F. D stands for pure electric new energy vehicles and F stands for non-pure electric new energy vehicles.

　　In order to improve the anti-counterfeiting performance, the special number plate for new energy vehicles also uses anti-counterfeiting technologies such as two-dimensional bar code, anti-counterfeiting shading and laser pattern.

　　According to 21st century business herald, the reporter noted that the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government issued the "Proposal on Further Promoting the Construction of Financial Innovation Operation Demonstration Zone" on January 8. The plan points out the overall goal of the future in three time periods: in the next three years, it will continue to maintain the leading position in the financial leasing and commercial factoring industries in China, and at the same time create a number of financial agglomeration symbol areas with themes and characteristics. In the next five years, the added value of the financial industry will account for about 15% of the regional GDP, and the overall asset scale of leasing will reach 2.7 trillion yuan. The scale of leasing and disposal of aircraft, international shipping vessels and offshore platforms will remain above 80% in the whole country, and the total assets and factoring financing balance of the commercial factoring industry will remain the first in the country. In 2035, a world-class national leasing innovation demonstration zone and a national commercial factoring capital will be built in an all-round way, which will provide a practical sample for China’s characteristic financial development.
