It is very important to take early prevention when the flu season comes.

  People’s Daily Online, Beijing, November 19 (Reporter Cui Yuanyuan) According to the National Health and Wellness Commission, experts predict that the flu activity will gradually increase in the middle and late November, and then China will gradually enter the flu season from north to south.

  On the 13th, the General Office of the National Health and Wellness Commission and the Office of state administration of traditional chinese medicine jointly issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in Influenza Medical Care this winter and next spring. The "Notice" clearly stated that in the medical treatment of influenza, we should give full play to the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, treat according to syndrome differentiation, scientifically apply traditional Chinese medicine technology and methods to carry out treatment, and strive to improve clinical efficacy.

  "Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience in the prevention and treatment of influenza, and there are many effective prescriptions. It is safer to use drugs, and there will be no disadvantages such as flora imbalance and drug resistance." Liu Qingquan, president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to Capital Medical University, said.

  The flu is not a cold, so we should distinguish it correctly.

  According to state administration of traditional chinese medicine’s official WeChat popular science, the flu is called influenza. In life, people often confuse influenza with cold. In fact, they are not the same. Influenza may cause life-threatening complications, which need timely treatment and cannot be neglected.

  Miao Qing, director of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases, Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that flu and cold can be distinguished from each other by symptoms. Influenza patients often have high fever and chills of 39 to 40 degrees Celsius, with obvious body pain and often severe cough, while the common cold has no fever or mild to moderate fever without chills, and often has symptoms such as stuffy nose and sore throat.

  Liu Qingquan introduced that influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by human infection with influenza virus, which is different from the common cold. Moreover, influenza virus is changeable and highly contagious, so attention should be paid to prevention and early treatment.

  "In traditional Chinese medicine, there is no ‘ Influenza ’ A word, but as early as in the "rites of rites" put forward ‘ Epidemic disease ’ The concept recognizes that it is different from common colds and colds, and it is a disease that is contagious, easy to cause epidemics, and fever and headache are the main manifestations. " Liu Qingquan said.

  Liu Qingquan reminded that even the common cold should be paid attention to and treated in time, otherwise it will easily lead to the occurrence of influenza. If you have symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, you must seek medical attention immediately.

  Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of preventing and treating influenza and does have advantages.

  The "Guiding Opinions of Experts on Prevention and Treatment of Influenza in Winter of 2019 in Beijing" issued by Beijing Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests that Chinese medicine should be the first choice for the treatment of influenza, and the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is recommended for high-risk groups, severe and critical cases prone to severe illness after illness.

  Liu Qingquan believes that the prevention and treatment of influenza with Chinese medicine has a long history in China and has played an important role in safeguarding people’s health.

  It is understood that as early as the period of Huangdi Neijing, influenza was diagnosed as "typhoid fever". Fifty-eight Difficult Classics puts forward five classification methods of typhoid fever, namely, apoplexy, typhoid fever, damp-warm disease, fever disease and epidemic febrile disease. In the Qing Dynasty, Ye Tianshi established the syndrome differentiation of defending qi and nourishing blood, and Yinqiao Powder, which was created by Wu Jutong, was still widely used, and their research on influenza reached a peak.

  In recent years, the research on the prevention and treatment of influenza by traditional Chinese medicine has deepened. In 2009, A (H1N1) broke out all over the world. Based on Maxing Shigan Decoction for treating typhoid and Yinqiao Powder for treating epidemic febrile diseases, after more than six months of clinical research, experts optimized the effective prescription Jinhua Qinggan Formula, which was recognized by Chinese and western medicine experts at home and abroad.

  TCM treatment of influenza should be based on syndrome differentiation, and Chinese patent medicine should not be abused.

  Li Guangxi, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Guang ‘anmen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that due to different seasons and different climates, Chinese medicine has different diagnoses of influenza, such as typhoid fever, wet temperature, spring temperature and winter temperature, and the methods and drugs for preventing and treating influenza are also different. All of these need to be combined with syndrome differentiation, and doctors can accurately judge the condition before using it. People should not abuse proprietary Chinese medicines with heat-clearing and detoxification functions.

  "The key to treating influenza with traditional Chinese medicine is to pay attention to the treatment of initial and severe diseases." Liu Qingquan pointed out that the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is not only aimed at the etiology, but also at the internal factors of human body. Instead, it grasps the law of the interaction between the etiology and the body, and accordingly formulates corresponding treatment principles and methods. For example, "typhoid fever" is caused by cold pathogen hurting yang, so it is necessary to use pungent warming method at first and then return to yang later, while "epidemic febrile disease" is caused by heat pathogen hurting yin, so it is necessary to use pungent cooling at first and save yin later.

  Liu Qingquan reminded that if you have fever symptoms, you must not blindly cover your sweat and sweat. Because, Chinese medicine believes that "healthy qi exists in the interior, and evil can’t be done", the occurrence of influenza is directly related to healthy qi deficiency. Protecting healthy qi can better resist diseases, and the method of covering sweat is likely to damage healthy qi.

  It is very important for high-risk groups to prevent influenza and do early prevention.

  According to the official WeChat account of state administration of traditional chinese medicine, children and the elderly are susceptible to influenza. For children, the main harm of influenza comes from complicated pneumonia, bronchitis, meningitis, etc. In general, the younger the child, the more serious the illness, and the greater the health risk. However, the resistance of the elderly is weak, and it is easy to cause complications such as myocarditis after getting the flu, which will also aggravate the original chronic diseases. These two groups of people should pay special attention to the prevention of influenza.

  "Children are different from the elderly in their physical constitution, and the internal causes of their illness mainly lie in food stagnation, internal heat, excessive internal heat, etc. Therefore, for children, the focus of preventing and treating influenza is to do early prevention work." Yan Huimin, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine at Beijing Children’s Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, suggested that children should adjust their diet structure in time in winter, eat more light and digestible food, and at the same time strengthen exercise, work and rest regularly, and get the flu vaccine.

  If you have fever symptoms, you should give priority to physical cooling. If you can use traditional Chinese medicine to reduce fever, you should try not to use western medicine to reduce fever. The Work Plan for Influenza Prevention and Control in Epidemic Season 2019-2020 also emphasizes that Chinese patent medicines without indications for children should not be used by children.

  Liu Qingquan suggested that the elderly should pay attention to the rules of life in the prevention and control of influenza, keep enough sleep, and should not stay up too much and eat spicy food. When exercising in the morning, don’t overdo it, don’t sweat too much, and take the slight sweating on your body as the criterion. After entering the winter, the elderly generally pay more attention to keep warm, but they should not wear too much clothes, which will cause internal heat and lead to flu more easily. At the same time, the elderly often have chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, so we must pay attention to the control of chronic diseases during the influenza epidemic to keep our bodies in good condition.

  In addition, Li Guangxi said that for the elderly and patients with lung diseases in the past, a flu may mean a painful process that lasts for more than a month, especially in the respiratory symptoms such as cough and expectoration, and the medication effect is not good. In this case, you can try to further treat it with external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Traditional Chinese medicine replacing tea can recuperate physique and enhance resistance.

  Jiang Liangduo, chief physician of Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, believes that the prevention of influenza can also achieve the purpose of enhancing one’s own resistance by taking traditional Chinese medicine instead of tea and gently recuperating one’s physique.

  "Chinese medicine for tea also needs to be applied in a dialectical way. It is necessary to distinguish between qi deficiency, yin deficiency, phlegm dampness and heat accumulation and use different tea-making prescriptions." Jiang Liangduo has prescribed four anti-influenza traditional Chinese medicine teas:

  1. For people with qi deficiency who are short of breath, prone to sweating and fatigue, 3 grams of Codonopsis pilosula and 3 grams of Folium Perillae can be used to make tea, and tea can be added appropriately. It is recommended to add a little Pogostemon in the southern region; Second, people with yin deficiency who are prone to dry lips, fatigue and colds can choose 6 grams of lily, 3 grams of mulberry leaves and 3 grams of chrysanthemum (not wild chrysanthemum or bitter chrysanthemum); 3. For people with phlegm and dampness who don’t like to drink, feel sleepy all over, and often feel chest and abdominal distension, you can choose 3 grams of Pogostemon, 3 grams of Eupatorium odoratum and 1 gram of mint. 4. For people with accumulated heat who are prone to sores and excessive internal heat, 3 grams of Trollius chinensis, 2 grams of Folium Isatidis and 6 grams of Rhizoma Phragmitis can be used as the tea-making prescription.

In June, the national vegetable prices maintained a seasonal downward trend, and many measures were taken to ensure residents to stabilize the "vegetable basket"

CCTV News:Pay attention to the price of "vegetable basket". According to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in June, the national vegetable basket index was 112.79, down 6.52 points from the previous month and 10.02 points from the same period last year. Among them, vegetable prices kept a seasonal decline.

In June, the national average wholesale price of 28 kinds of vegetables monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was 4.37 yuan per kilogram, down 7% from the previous month and 12.2% from the same period last year. In terms of varieties, the chain price dropped by 21 kinds and increased by 7 kinds, among which the prices of tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, beans and eggplant dropped greatly.

Zhang Jing, an associate researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Information, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that the national vegetable prices maintained a seasonal downward trend in June, mainly because a large number of storage-resistant vegetables and solanaceous vegetables were listed in summer, and the decline in the prices of these bulk vegetables significantly boosted the overall price of vegetables. Among them, the expansion of onion and potato is more common this year, and the price has dropped significantly. However, the summer output of solanaceous vegetables was significantly higher than that of the same period of last year, and the price of tomatoes decreased by 50% and that of cucumbers by 35%.

Experts said that the frequent occurrence of extreme weather such as heavy rainfall and high temperature in summer can easily lead to poor connection of vegetable stubble replacement, high temperature and high humidity can also easily lead to perishable vegetables and increase the cost of transportation and preservation. In the last week of June, the average weekly price of vegetables in China has turned from falling to rising.

Zhang Jing said: "It is expected that the downward space of vegetable prices will be limited in the later period, and the prices of some varieties may rise rapidly."

Beijing: The weather affects the production and supply of vegetables, and the price is polarized.

In Beijing, the supply of vegetables has entered the summer mode, and the change of weather has affected the supply of vegetables, and the price has also shown a trend of differentiation. Let’s go to the largest wholesale market of agricultural products in Beijing to find out. 

The reporter learned in Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market that the overall price of vegetables in the market in June was about 10% lower than that in May. Among them, the first half of June was running at a low level, while the second half fluctuated, and different varieties showed a trend of differentiation. For example, bean vegetables were mainly warm-loving. The temperature rose relatively early and quickly this summer, and the output was significantly higher than that of the same period last year, and the price continued to decline.

In addition, cucumber, eggplant, tomato and other solanaceous vegetables also grow rapidly, the supply increases, and the price drops greatly. However, due to the influence of high temperature, some fresh leafy vegetables have yellow leaves and heartburn, and their quality has decreased, supply has decreased and prices have increased.

Liu Tong, a market analyst in Beijing Xinfadi, said: "Some vegetables are warm and some vegetables are cold, so the price is polarized. Similarly, because it is more difficult to keep vegetables fresh in a high temperature environment, merchants now cover vegetables with an ice pack, so the cost has increased. "

The data shows that the weighted average price of vegetables in Beijing Xinfadi market was 2.83 yuan per kilogram on July 1, up 6.8% from June 24.

Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: Responding to Extreme Weather to Ensure Vegetable Production and Supply in Summer

The reporter learned that the overall deviation of China’s climate situation this summer, in order to effectively prevent and reduce the adverse effects of extreme weather such as high temperature, drought and heavy rainfall on vegetable production, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued guidance on summer vegetable production to ensure vegetable production and supply.

In this vegetable planting base in Wucheng County, Shandong Province, the grower Zhao Jianjie collects 2,000 Jin of cucumbers every day and sells them to the local farmers’ market. According to reports, in recent days, in order to cope with the high temperature weather, eight groups of local agricultural experts have been organized to provide technical services to growers.

In Renzhao Town, pingdu city City, Shandong Province, contiguous onions entered the harvest season, and the grower Leng Desheng organized manpower and machinery to start harvesting 3 mu of onions. He told reporters that due to the proper management of onion cultivation, one-third of the single onion weighs more than two kilograms.

The reporter learned that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued the "Technical Guidance Opinions on Summer Vegetable Production". For vegetables such as cucumber, pepper and cauliflower in the open field, it is recommended to use water and fertilizer integration technology to strengthen plant management and prevent pests and diseases. For radish, cabbage and Chinese cabbage planted in high altitude areas in summer, scientifically arrange sowing dates and varieties, focus on preventing sudden hail hazards, and achieve high and stable yield.

How determined is the 4S Group to close 5 4S stores and build more than 20 car body panel and spray centers?

Under the general trend of falling vehicle sales and prices, the logic of making money in 4S stores has changed: 4S Group is no longer centered on the brand of the agent, but on customer service, and its autonomy will grow.

What does the author mean?

Please add WeChat to contribute: 18001896570.

Please indicate the source: AC car (ID: ACQICHE).

"Selling one car loses another" is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

AC Auto recently took stock of the 2023 annual report of 9 major dealer groups.The gross profit of new cars has declined to varying degrees year on year, without exception.

This is enough to see the power of the "price war" in the auto market, which not only devours the profits of dealers, but also accelerates the reshuffle of the dealer system. Many 4S stores’ hopes for survival are pinned on the rebates of manufacturers.

This year’s "oil-electricity dispute" is even more fierce. New energy vehicles not only disrupt the price system of traditional cars, but also impact the joint venture brand camp that 4S stores rely on most.

In 2024, the overall situation of automobile dealers in China is not optimistic. Under the difficult situation, it is better than the listed automobile dealer group to adjust actively.

Zhongsheng Group has always been in the forefront of the industry in terms of revenue and net profit, and was once called by the media."the last light in the 4S era"Its two core financial data in 2023 are not optimistic year-on-year, which reflects the operational difficulty of the automobile circulation market.

But zhongsheng group’sAfter-sales business is still the most eye-catching "background color" in the annual report.In particular, the strong control of the accident car business is also considered by the industry to be the key to keeping the last light in the 4S era.

After-sales "background color": the after-sales gross profit of a single store is as high as 22 million.

In 2023, luxury car dealers had to jump into the deep pit of "price for quantity" under the atmosphere of "price drops and then falls".

As the largest distributor of Lexus and the second largest distributor of Mercedes-Benz in China, Zhongsheng Group had 420 dealerships by December 31, 2023, including 269 luxury brands and 151 mid-to high-end brands.

Even with such a strong brand, Zhongsheng Group’s net profit fell by 24% in 2023 when its revenue decreased slightly year-on-year.

In terms of the split structure, Zhongsheng Group’s main income is still obtained from the sales of new cars. In 2023, the revenue scale was about 140.2 billion yuan, a slight decrease year-on-year; However, the gross profit of new cars was only 1.058 billion yuan, down 74% year-on-year.

The gross profit margin of the new car is even bleak.From 2.7% to 0.8% in 2023.. This is also the first time since 2016 that the gross profit margin of Zhongsheng New Car has fallen below 1%.

It is becoming more and more difficult to make money from new cars, and the after-sales business has become the ballast stone of 4 S. This is also the "background color" of Zhongsheng Group.

There are two sets of data to prove it:

First, in 2023, Zhongsheng Group contributed 20.1 billion yuan in after-sales revenue (maintenance, repair and painting) and 9.3 billion yuan in after-sales gross profit, up by 15% and 24% respectively. The number of incoming plants increased from 6.72 million to 7.47 million.

Based on this data, Zhongsheng GroupThe after-sales gross profit of a single 4S shop is as high as 22 million yuan/year, and the output value of bicycles is 2691 yuan.

Second, from 2020 to 2023, Zhongsheng Group’s absorption rate of spare parts exceeded 100%, which is enough to show that Zhongsheng’s after-sales gross profit can cover the operating costs and reduce the operating risks of 4S stores under the background that new cars are difficult to make money.

In terms of revenue contribution alone, the gross profit contribution of Zhongsheng’s spare parts, maintenance packages and after-sales service,From 54.2% in 2017 to 65.7% in 2023.It is enough to see the importance of after-sales business in Zhongsheng Group.

Strong control of accident car business: building 100 car body panel and painting centers.

In the annual report of Zhongsheng Group, it was emphasized again."Three One Goals"

That is, to build 100 brand car body panel and spray service centers; Double the output value of accident car maintenance business; Achieve a sales ratio of used cars to new cars of 1.0.

As of March this year, Zhongsheng Group has operated 20 Zhongsheng brand maintenance service centers in 15 cities, another 14 are under construction, and an additional 12 have been planned.

It is worth mentioning that Zhongsheng Group has optimized its weak brand 4S store.Five Nissan 4S stores have been converted into car body panel and painting centers.

AC Auto once explained in the article that Zhongsheng Group will build the largest accident car maintenance chain in China if the goal of 100 cars is achieved.

Generally speaking, the gross profit contribution of after-sales business of a 4S shop is close to 50%, and the accident car business can account for 60-70% of the gross profit pool of after-sales business.

In 2023, Zhongsheng Group’s after-sales (maintenance, repair and painting) gross profit was 9.3 billion yuan, accounting for more than 65.7% of the contribution. Based on the above data,The accident vehicle maintenance output value of Zhongsheng Group may exceed 5.4 billion yuan.. The annual report also revealed that the output value of accident vehicle maintenance increased by 14% year-on-year.

Under the hidden rule of premium for resources, accident car business has become one of the few strong businesses in 4 S. Behind Zhongsheng Group’s tightening of accident car business,There are two necessary conditions:

AC automobile columnist weiran made an inventory of the after-sales situation of Zhongsheng Group in his article:

As can be seen from the table, from 2019 to 2023, the number of factory returns of Zhongsheng Group increased slightly, the after-sales gross profit margin was relatively stable, and the average output value decreased, but the number of retained customers increased to 3.79 million; After-sales gross profit increased from 8.6 billion to 11.766 billion yuan.

Where does the growth source come from?

There is an answer in the financial report:In 2023, the number of new car customers of Zhongsheng Group was 501,500 units, down 3.6% year-on-year, while the number of retained customers increased by 7.1%, which means that most of the increase came from the increase in the number of customers who returned to the factory after sale.

In other words, the "customer unit price" is decreasing, and the number of incoming plants is increasing, indicating that Zhongsheng Group’s after-sales customer locking and customer recall capabilities are getting stronger.

In the annual report, Zhongsheng Group put forward that the ultimate goal is to become a localized automobile service brand, and non-Zhongsheng system owners can also renew their insurance, repair accident cars and wash beauty stickers through Zhongsheng.

To achieve this goal, "100 car body panel and spray centers" is a key link, which will become the main contact point for car owners of non-medium-rise systems and deeply bind insurance companies and customers.

It is certain that similar Zhongsheng Group will strengthen the management and control of the accident car business, or bring greater pressure to the repair shop.

Hold the last light of the 4S shop era?

Some people think that the prosperity of China’s automobile market is the prosperity of consumption, not the prosperity of capital.

Judging from the market value of the dealer group alone, Zhongsheng’s share price has turned sharply from the high point in mid-2021 to now.Lost 82% of its market value..

Obviously, the logic of making money for dealers has changed, and the core of business may have shifted from vehicle sales to after-sales service.

The adjustment made by Zhongsheng around the after-sales business also reflects the new trend of the dealer industry:4S Group no longer takes the brand of the agent as the center, but takes the customer service as the center, and holds the customer firmly in its hands, so its autonomy will grow.

With China’s automobile market entering the stock market from the incremental market, 4S Group has a large number of customers, and customer operation has become the key to its future success, for example, increasing the number of after-sales tickets and the output value of bicycles.

Moreover, Zhongsheng’s customers are mostly luxury car owners, who are able and willing to pay for high-value services. Based on this, Zhongsheng’s strategy in the after-sales field should be more radical.

It can be said,It will become the base for Zhongsheng Group to resist the decline of dealer industry by mainly operating luxury cars, holding the basic after-sales market and controlling the accident car business.

It is an indisputable fact that in the tide of electrification transformation, fuel vehicles are being subverted, and the four functions of 4S stores, including vehicle Sale, Spare part, after-sales Service and information Survey, are being dismantled by OEMs and independent after-sales enterprises. Reflected in the data, from 2020 to 2023, more than 8,000 4S stores withdrew from the network.

Whether Zhongsheng can keep the last light of the 4S shop era remains to be answered. To be sure, this will be a thorny road.

Experts analyze the whole process of influenza. If you have persistent high fever or severe cough, you need to seek medical advice in time.

It’s too difficult for children this year. Mycoplasma pneumonia hasn’t gone yet, and the flu is coming again. Some netizens complained: "When I went out in the morning, I started to have a fever and feel unwell in the afternoon, and I was infected with the flu, and the onset was quite fast." What are the symptoms of being infected with influenza virus? What medicine should I take? What situation needs to go to the hospital for treatment? The reporter interviewed relevant experts to understand the incidence of influenza and asked them to give corresponding countermeasures.

Emergency use of antiviral drugs within 48 hours of infection.

Influenza virus is mainly spread by respiratory droplets such as sneezing and coughing. Influenza spreads strongly and quickly, and people are generally susceptible, and the risk of infection in children is higher.

"On the first day of infection with the flu virus, the body temperature will rise rapidly, and the muscles of the whole body will be sore, tired and have a headache." Mai Huachao, an attending physician in the Department of Internal Medicine of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said, "The antiviral drug oseltamivir can be used under the guidance of a doctor. It is prime time to use it within 48 hours, which can shorten the course of disease and prevent the occurrence of severe diseases."

With the prevalence of various pathogens in the lower respiratory tract, Cen Zhenghui, deputy chief physician of Pediatrics of the Eighth Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, pointed out that the general symptoms of influenza patients are more severe, with high fever obvious in the early stage of the disease, atypical respiratory symptoms, accompanied by fatigue, headache, muscle aches and other manifestations. Patients infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae, unlike influenza, are accompanied by typical symptoms of dry cough in addition to fever. In addition, influenza antigen, mycoplasma pneumoniae serum antibody detection, nucleic acid detection and other tests can help doctors make identification and diagnosis.

If the fever persists for more than 3 days or the cough is severe, you need to see a doctor.

On the second or third day of influenza infection, the immune cells in the body fight the virus with all their strength, and the human body may have repeated symptoms such as fever, headache, sore throat and runny nose. Mai Huachao suggested that at this time, you should rest at home and drink plenty of water to give your body the energy to fight the virus.

Generally, on the 4th day after infection, the body temperature gradually returns to normal, and symptoms such as sore throat, headache and runny nose begin to ease, but the cough will get worse. Mai Huachao pointed out: "When infants, especially those within three months, continue to have high fever for more than three days or cough is serious enough to affect rest, it is recommended to seek medical advice immediately."

After the fever has gone down, quite a few children will have cough symptoms. Mai Huachao said that if you have a dry cough, you can take some cough medicine. If you have a serious cough with phlegm, or have fever symptoms, you should seek medical advice in time. Most symptoms of influenza will be relieved within 3-7 days, but cough and physical recovery often take more than 1-2 weeks.

You can still get the flu vaccine after you get the flu.

Both influenza and mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause pneumonia. Cen Zhenghui pointed out that if the child has a fever for more than 3-5 days repeatedly, the high fever does not go away, or there is a severe cough, the doctor auscultates the rales in the lungs, and the chest film and other imaging findings suggest that the lungs are oozing, which may be pneumonia. The specific situation needs the doctor’s judgment.

Is it necessary to get a flu vaccine after being infected with the flu? Experts say that after the flu patients are cured, it is still necessary to vaccinate against different types of influenza virus infection. Although the protection of vaccine against influenza virus can not reach 100%, it can effectively reduce infection symptoms and improve recovery speed after vaccination. It is recommended to vaccinate after the fever is gone and the flu symptoms are basically relieved.

Hu Dandan, director of vaccination clinic for people with special needs in Guangdong Province of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center, said that usually, after 2-4 weeks of influenza vaccination, antibodies with protective level can be produced. Therefore, vaccination can have a protective effect when the peak of influenza comes in winter, and people aged 6 months and above can be vaccinated without vaccination contraindications.

Background information: previous ministerial conferences of the World Trade Organization.

  Xinhua News Agency, Mexico City, December 9th Background information: previous ministerial conferences of the World Trade Organization.

  The 11th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO) will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the 10th. Argentina will become the first South American country to hold a ministerial meeting after the establishment of WTO.

  The ministerial meeting of the WTO is the highest decision-making authority of the WTO and is generally held every two years. The following are the basic information of previous WTO ministerial meetings:

  The first ministerial conference: held in Singapore in December 1996. The meeting mainly reviewed the work since the establishment of the WTO and the implementation of the last round of multilateral trade negotiations, that is, the Uruguay Round agreement, and decided to set up three working groups, namely, trade and investment, trade and competition policy, and transparency of government procurement. At the same time, trade facilitation was included in the responsibilities of the Council for Goods. The meeting finally adopted the Singapore Ministerial Declaration.

  Second Ministerial Conference: held in Geneva in May 1998. The meeting mainly discussed the implementation of the trade agreements reached, the established agenda and the future negotiation agenda, as well as the time and place of the third ministerial meeting.

  The Third Ministerial Conference: held in Seattle, USA in November 1999. The meeting failed to start the proposed new round of multilateral trade negotiations due to the pressure of demonstrations and interference by non-governmental organizations and the differences of views among members on a series of major issues.

  Fourth Ministerial Conference: held in Doha, Qatar in November 2001. The meeting launched a new round of multilateral trade negotiations of the Doha Round. Another important result of the meeting was the approval of China’s accession to the WTO. The meeting finally adopted three documents, including the Ministerial Declaration.

  Fifth Ministerial Conference: held in Cancun, Mexico in September 2003. Because developed countries refused to make substantial concessions on reducing agricultural subsidies and tariffs on agricultural products, the meeting ended without results. The meeting only adopted the Statement of the Council of Ministers.

  Sixth Ministerial Conference: held in Hong Kong, China in December 2005. After six days of negotiations on the Doha Round, the participants issued the Ministerial Declaration, and made progress in eliminating export subsidies for cotton and agricultural products and opening the market to the least developed countries. However, the Doha Round negotiations have not been fully completed.

  Seventh Ministerial Conference: held in Geneva, Switzerland from November 30th to December 2nd, 2009. The meeting failed to make significant progress in promoting the Doha Round negotiations, but continued to promise to conclude the Doha Round negotiations in 2010.

  Eighth Ministerial Conference: held in Geneva in December 2011. The meeting formally approved Russia’s accession to the WTO. Due to the great differences among members in some negotiation fields, the Doha Round negotiations are in trouble.

  Ninth Ministerial Conference: It was held in Bali, Indonesia in December 2013. The conference reached the first multilateral trade agreement "Bali Package Agreement" since the establishment of the organization, among which trade facilitation has the most obvious impact on global trade.

  Tenth Ministerial Conference: held in Nairobi, Kenya in December 2015. The meeting finally adopted the Nairobi Ministerial Declaration, in which 162 members pledged for the first time to completely eliminate export subsidies for agricultural products. The meeting reached the first tariff concession agreement of the WTO in the past 20 years — — Expansion agreement of the information technology agreement; The meeting also formally approved Liberia and Afghanistan to join the WTO.

Aauto Quicker music copyright settlement new regulations: usage is the core indicator, and live scenes are included.

"The statistics of music usage (frequency) is not particularly difficult. The real pain point is that we have counted these data, but there is no way to confirm which copyright party these music come from, because the whole music industry is too opaque for us."

On March 22nd, at the Aauto Quicker Music Copyright Ecology Conference, Yuan Shuai, the director of Aauto Quicker Music, told about the confusion of the short video platform in dealing with music copyright.

Compared with the record industry, which lasted for hundreds of years, the rise of short video and live broadcast platform is only in the last five years, but it has brought great influence on the creation and distribution of music. The industry is still groping for the settlement rules of music copyright and how to protect the rights and interests of creators, such as background music used in live broadcast and short video clips covering songs, which have caused a large number of copyright lawsuits.

The Paper reporter noticed that short video platforms, including Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, are exploring their own modes of music copyright cooperation. In 2020, Tik Tok reached a copyright cooperation scheme with China Audiovisual Copyright Collective Management Association (Audio Collection Association), while Aauto Quicker, with new music copyright settlement rules, hoped to get tickets for direct dialogue with the industry.

How to settle the music copyright fee? Usage is the core indicator.

At the event site, a person from a record company revealed to a reporter from The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the company’s music copyright income still mainly comes from the traditional music playing platform, but it is optimistic about the future realization potential of the short video platform, so it came to know the new settlement rules in Aauto Quicker.

It is understood that this is the first time before the implementation of the new Copyright Law on June 1 this year that an Internet platform has proposed a music copyright settlement standard suitable for short video and live broadcast. Yuan Shuai, head of Aauto Quicker Music, said that the core indicator of the copyright settlement policy of Aauto Quicker Music is the usage of songs.

"We will publish data regularly, go online on the open platform of Aauto Quicker musicians, settle all fees in a periodic way, and distribute the fees to copyright owners and musicians." Yuan Shuai said that the information of Aauto Quicker Music Open Platform will include the usage data and settlement amount of music content, which can be directly used for confirmation and settlement. There is no upper limit on the amount of copyright settlement, and there is no arbitrary deduction except legal tax payment.

In the past, there was a copyright settlement scheme for short videos in Aauto Quicker. This new policy also included the copyright settlement of live scenes and songs, and increased the settlement channel for independent musicians. The usage index will be adopted in the copyright settlement of lyrics and songs, and a special bonus plan for lyrics and songs will be set up. The live broadcast scene will be based on the effective times of music playing.

Yuan Shuai told the reporter of The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that this made the new settlement rules more complete in settlement scenarios and coverage of obligees than in the past.

In addition, Aauto Quicker’s settlement rules do not require the copyright owner to give exclusive authorization to Aauto Quicker. Prior to this, according to the person from the record company mentioned above, The Paper reporter revealed that the cooperation mode between Aauto Quicker and it includes both exclusive authorization and non-exclusive authorization.

Yuan Shuai said that the details of these music copyright policies will be adjusted according to the market reflection on the basis of stability.

The background of Aauto Quicker’s announcement of the new music copyright settlement scheme is that the newly revised Copyright Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) will be implemented on June 1st.

Meng Jie, vice president of legal affairs of Aauto Quicker, said that settling the usage fees in the live broadcast scene with the producers of recordings not only meets the requirements of the new Copyright Law, but also can better popularize the new rules and trends of the new Copyright Law to the public.

Regarding the settlement of the copyright of lyrics and songs, Meng Jie explained that in the past, the operation in the industry was to uniformly settle the money to the producers of recordings, and then the producers of recordings settled the money to the rights holders of lyrics and songs. "However, it is possible that the producers of sound recordings do not own the rights of songs and lyrics. On the one hand, it can ease the pressure on the producers of sound recordings to give authorization, on the other hand, it also opens the way for the copyright owners of songs and lyrics to get paid."

Breaking the gap between short video platform and recording industry

How does the music industry accept the exploration of short video platform in music copyright cooperation?

Everyone loves culture media company, which mainly produces music based on short video platform. At the event site, Zhang Zhiyuan, the founder of the company, appealed that short video platform should be compared with music platform in revenue and settlement, so as to realize transparent settlement. "The daily income of the cinema can be seen at the real-time box office. Our music industry can also refer to the film industry, and data transparency and rules are crucial. "

At this time, indicators such as music usage are very important, which requires the platform to be more transparent in data.

For the short video platform, the problem of tracing the copyright of music is the difficulty. Yuan Shuai mentioned that the difficulty of cooperation between Aauto Quicker and the industry is that "the industry won’t tell us who the copyright of this music belongs to", which simply means "I don’t know who to pay the money to", so more copyright owners need to enter the platform cooperation sequence.

Yuan Shuai said that with the release of the copyright cooperation policy and the establishment of deeper cooperation with the industry, it is expected that the "information opacity problem" between the two parties can be solved.

According to Yuan Shuai, up to now, Aauto Quicker has established cooperative relations with hundreds of copyright companies and Aauto Quicker musicians who have taken the initiative to enter the platform, and will continue to expand the scope and scale of cooperation in the future. It is noteworthy that Aauto Quicker’s action bypassed the China Audio-visual Copyright Collective Management Association. Previously, the Audio Collection Association had accused Aauto Quicker of infringement, and the lawsuit between the two parties was under way in the Beijing Internet Court.

"We hope to give the industry a signal that we are willing to pay for genuine music and are willing to cooperate deeply with the industry." Yuan Shuai said that music copyright is the foundation of short video. Apart from copyright cooperation, short video platform will explore more ways of cooperation in song promotion to help musicians accumulate commercial value, increase income and expand exposure.
