Takeaway brother upgrade: from "bronze" to "king" to send orders against the clock

  Lane 41, Sanyuan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai, is a commercial and residential building where the blue-and-white "Ele.me" logo hangs. He Shengsheng, 28, is the webmaster of the food delivery platform Ele.me in Shanghai.

  "In December 2014, I came to Shanghai to work hard and saw that Ele.me was recruiting a large number of riders, and the salary was not bad, so I came here." He Shengsheng told First Financial Reporter that in May 2015, due to his outstanding work performance, he was promoted to become a stationmaster, mainly responsible for helping riders solve problems encountered in daily work and life.

  Ele.me Hummingbird Delivery released the "2018 Takeaway Riders Group Insight Report" shows that there are more than 3 million registered riders in Hummingbird Delivery, of which 77% of Hummingbird riders are from rural areas, the average age is about 29 years old, and the proportion of post-95s has exceeded 20%. Riders deliver 48 orders per day on average, and travel nearly 150 kilometers.

  With the accelerated pace of life, people are increasingly concerned about the value of time, and instant delivery has come into being. Nowadays, instant logistics distribution platforms have entered the field of intra-city, small-scale, and takeaway, and gradually expanded to the field of fresh food, supermarket delivery, and even a wider range of express terminal areas.

  longest3.5kilometer

  As a young man who came to Shanghai from Lu’an, Anhui Province to work hard, making money is He Shengsheng’s top priority.

  "Joined Ele.me as a rider on December 22, 2014. At that time, the order volume was not very large. The overtime salary was more than 8,000 yuan, and the unit helped pay five insurances and one housing fund." He Shengsheng told reporters that there are now 65 riders (full-time + part-time) under his own management. Every month, the company will settle the salary according to its own control of the site and performance. Generally, if you do a good job, the monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan; if you do a little worse, 6,000 to 8,000 yuan.

  The reporter learned that almost all the instant delivery fields such as Ele.me, Meituan, and Dada use the agent model. Take Ele.me as an example. Ele.me has dozens of agents in Shanghai, each agent has multiple sites, and the maintenance of the site is jointly managed by the channel manager dispatched by Ele.me and the area manager dispatched by the agent. And He Shengsheng’s site belongs to Jiangxi Hummingbird Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.

  When He Shengsheng first took over the position of stationmaster, most of his time was occupied by manual orders, such as the same rider arranging several orders in the same direction for him. "At that time, it was still manual, and there was no intelligent order like now."

  The intelligent dispatching system He Shengsheng mentioned is the "Ark" of Ele.me intelligent dispatching system, which is the core link in the field of instant delivery of takeout. The system replaces most of the work of webmasters, reduces the degree of human intervention, and realizes automated and intelligent dispatching.

  The first financial reporter saw in the computer background of the Ele.me site that the Ark system can display the intelligent scheduling order link: user order, merchant order, intelligent scheduling (rider order/robot order), delivery to users, etc. Through big data and machine learning, user orders are matched with the optimal path under the optimal decision to ensure delivery efficiency.

  In addition, the system can also display the location of the rider in real time, as well as the number of orders in his hand and the number of orders to be completed. "The location is mainly based on the rider’s exclusive app loaded in the rider’s mobile phone. Generally, the rider who completes the order delivery task will return to the business district where he is located, which is convenient for the system to send orders. The longest straight line distance from the food pickup point to the customer is 3.5 kilometers." The business district He Shengsheng is in charge of is the Centennial Central Shopping Plaza and 118 Square in Putuo District. How far is 3.5 kilometers? If you use a 1 yuan coin (25mm diameter) to spread in a straight line, you need 140,000 pieces.

  In the current situation of intelligent ordering, He Shengsheng no longer dispatches orders manually, but also needs to manage the riders, such as the problems encountered by the riders need to be dealt with in a timely manner; in terms of orders, there are merchants who need to be solved, and riders who need to come to him to solve. In addition, it depends on whether the distribution of system orders is reasonable.

He Shengsheng is checking the working status of the rider.

  "The factors to judge whether an order is reasonable are based on a rider’s ability to carry orders in the past period of time, the timeliness of orders, the timeliness of riders’ delivery, etc. Only in this way can we determine the amount of riders’ orders and the shortest time he can deliver orders to customers." He Shengsheng revealed that under normal circumstances, riders with strong ability have no problem going out to receive 12 to 15 orders at a time. If they encounter peak delivery periods, such as going to the same office building for food delivery, they can also reach 18 orders at a time.

  The Ark system will combine nearby orders from the same street and the same building, and deliver them to one rider in a unified manner, which is called "chasing orders" in the industry. He Shengsheng said: "Although it doesn’t matter if the pickup point is different, as long as the customer is in the same building, the delivery efficiency is quite high. This is why so many orders are sent to capable riders, because he knows which restaurant is fast and which is slow, and he will go to the restaurant with the fast meal first."

  From "bronze" to "king"

  This is an industry where every second counts, and riders need to consider two factors: the speed of the restaurant’s delivery, and whether the customer is in the same location. They need a path plan.

  For a rider who has been in the job for a long time and has strong ability, after he receives the order, he has a plan, such as which restaurant to drop by, where to pick up the meal, the speed of the restaurant’s delivery, etc., and then deliver it to the customer. Which orders are delivered first or some customers urge orders to be delivered first, there is a reasonable plan.

  He Shengsheng said: "For a new rider, he doesn’t know where the restaurant is, so the Ele.me platform will tell him where the food pickup point is and where the delivery point is, and he can follow the prompts given to him by the system. In this case, it is more suitable for him to give one or two orders at a time."

  Ark learns the rider’s food delivery data, delineates the rider’s level, and ladders the rider’s target order quantity at all levels, so as to make a ability portrait for each rider, and assigns the waybill to the most suitable rider.

  During the midday and evening peaks of takeout, Ark will prioritize orders to high-level riders during peak periods based on waybill efficiency to improve delivery efficiency. According to data provided by Ele.me, the Ark system can process orders at a peak of more than 80 orders per second. During the peak period of takeout, Ark will emphasize fairness on the basis of considering efficiency. Through big data analytics, the order volume of riders is balanced to ensure that the order volume allocated by riders of the same level and team is roughly the same within a certain time span.

  The Ele.me platform divided Hummingbird’s riders into different levels, and the Honor of Kings game was divided into 6 levels, followed by bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and king. "The more orders a rider gives, the better, the higher the level will be."

  "Different agents may pay riders different salaries in different cities. The salary of riders on our site consists of three parts: 1. Performance commission, the standard is less than 600 orders, according to 7 yuan/order; more than 600 orders, according to 8 yuan/order. 2. Subsidies are made according to the weight, distance, weather, rider level, etc. of each order. 3. There are praise rewards and rush orders rewards every month." He Shengsheng said that the average monthly income of full-time riders at his site is 7,000-9,000 yuan, and the KPI assessment indicators for riders are similar, basically changing once a month. At present, the main assessment is the cancellation of riders’ delivery and T12 timeout.

  T12 timeout refers to a timeout of 12 minutes. For example, the assessment time of the rider’s order T is 10:30. If the rider arrives after 10:42, it has exceeded the time value of the rider’s order assessment.

  How to determine what time is the expectation of the booking customer? He Shengsheng said that under normal circumstances, it is divided into pre-orders and instant orders, and pre-orders can be booked to a certain time period; for instant orders, the system will determine the time expected by the customer of the order according to the timeliness of the restaurant, order memory and other factors, and then give a time.

  Not only Ele.me, but also its competitors Meituan and Dada have long integrated AI and big data into their business development.

  The reporter learned that there are many entrants in the field of instant delivery at present, mainly divided into three categories: one is established in 2014, flash delivery, Dada, UU errands and other established intra-city courier companies, the other is the instant delivery originating from the takeaway model, such as Ele.me’s Hummingbird delivery, Meituan’s Meituan special delivery team, Dada-JD Daojia’s new Dada, etc.; the third is SF Express, Yuantong, Yunda and other traditional logistics companies, SF Express’s instant delivery business, Yuantong’s timing, Yunda’s cloud delivery. The players on the track are gathered, all intending to get a share of this emerging market.

  For the future, He Shengsheng expressed the hope that he can seize the opportunity and grow with the takeaway platform. (Wang Hai)

我就先介绍这些。接下来,我和其他同志回答各位记者朋友的提问。谢谢大家!

王宜华:谢谢利秘书长的介绍!下面开始提问,提问前请举手,并通报一下所在新闻机构。

人民网记者(黎穗 摄)

人民网记者:习近平总书记视察江西时提出,要“向改革开放要动力”“推进改革开放走深走实”。请问江西省委是如何贯彻落实习近平总书记重要要求,谋划推进全面深化改革工作的?

利继忠:党的十八大以来,江西省委坚决扛起全面深化改革的政治责任,深入贯彻习近平总书记关于全面深化改革的重要论述,聚焦“作示范、勇争先”的目标要求,牢记嘱托、感恩奋进,推动全省上下形成思改革、谋改革、促改革的火热局面,不断为高质量跨越式发展开拓新空间、激发新动能、增创新优势,努力把习近平总书记为江西擘画的改革蓝图一步步变为美好现实。

一是坚持思想引领,增进改革共识。省委坚持把习近平总书记关于全面深化改革的重要论述和习近平总书记视察江西重要讲话精神一体学习、一体贯彻、一体落实,引导各地各部门增强推进改革的政治自觉、思想自觉、行动自觉。特别是省第十五次党代会以来,新一届省委坚定沿着习近平总书记指引方向前进,深刻把握新时代全面深化改革新形势新要求,将“改革攻坚”列入省委工作思路,把全面深化改革贯穿于经济社会发展和党的建设全过程各方面,引导广大干部群众鼓足“改革再出发”的昂扬斗志,树立“改革重实效”的鲜明导向,凝聚起全面深化改革的共识共为。

二是坚持重点突破,带动改革全局。省委坚持“观大势、谋全局、干实事”,对标对表党中央重大改革决策部署,把事关江西经济社会发展全局、涉及重大制度创新、有利于提升民生福祉的改革放在突出位置,特别是把习近平总书记对江西提出的“在生态文明体制改革、科技体制改革、农业农村改革、社会民生领域改革上抓创新、抓落实”作为重中之重,大力实施全面深化改革攻坚行动,强力推进营商环境优化升级“一号改革工程”,以重点领域改革攻坚突破,引领带动全省经济、政治、文化、社会、生态文明和党的建设制度等各方面改革全面深化,推动形成改革整体效应。

三是坚持依靠人民,凝聚改革力量。省委注重充分调动干部群众推动改革的积极性、主动性、创造性,凝聚方方面面的智慧和力量,不断把改革事业推向前进。旗帜鲜明鼓励、支持、引导全省各地各部门发扬敢闯敢试、敢为人先的改革精神,完善激励干部改革创新、担当作为制度,建立鼓励基层探索和推广改革经验制度,及时总结基层创造的鲜活经验,加大改革宣传推广力度,营造全省上下关注改革、参与改革、深化改革的浓厚氛围,涌现了一批具有江西特色、可复制推广的基层改革经验,汇聚起江西改革的磅礴力量。

Fourth, adhere to a sound mechanism and pay close attention to reform and implementation. The provincial party committee strengthened its leadership in comprehensively deepening the reform, set up the Committee for Deep Reform of the provincial party committee, and coordinated the comprehensive deepening of the reform in the whole province. Since 2014, the Provincial Committee for Deep Reform has held 47 meetings in a normal and high-quality manner, deliberated 325 topics, and formulated a "four beams and eight pillars" reform plan in major areas. Establish a system of leading major reform projects by members of the Provincial Committee for Deep Reform, and lead the implementation of 120 major reform tasks, forming a demonstration effect of grasping reform at the above rate. Give full play to the role of the "headquarters" of the Provincial Committee for Deep Reform, the "main force" of the reform leading department, the reform special group and the "general staff" of the reform office, build a pragmatic and efficient reform decision-making mechanism, a coordinated mechanism linked from top to bottom, and a strong and orderly supervision implementation mechanism, so as to form a reform implementation pattern with clear responsibilities, separate troops and full tracking, and promote Jiangxi’s comprehensive deepening reform to go deep and practical.

China News Service reporter: The 15th Provincial Party Congress proposed that we should vigorously implement comprehensive and deepening reform and tackling key problems. What progress has the province made in comprehensively deepening the reform and tackling key problems? What are you going to do next?

Chen Qiang, full-time deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Reform Office (photo by Li Sui)

Chen Qiang:Vigorously implementing the action of comprehensively deepening the reform is a major decision-making arrangement made by the provincial party Committee to profoundly grasp the need of comprehensively deepening the reform into a new stage of systematic, holistic and reconstructive reform, and to promote the deepening of the reform. It is the "main grasp" of the reform work in our province at present and in the future. Since the beginning of this year, under the strong leadership of the provincial party Committee, this work has been fully launched and is being vigorously and orderly promoted.

The first is to benchmark the central government and make overall plans. Accurately benchmark the requirements of the Central Committee for Deep Reform on "increasing breakthroughs in reforms in important areas and key links", formulate and issue the "Action Plan for Comprehensively Deepening Reform in Jiangxi Province (2022-2024)", and clearly put forward the overall goal of "one-year comprehensive roll-out, two-year key breakthroughs and three-year overall improvement". We studied and introduced ten implementation plans for tackling key problems such as optimizing the business environment reform, deepening the reform of science and technology system and mechanism, deepening the reform and innovation of state-owned and state-owned enterprises, deepening the reform of rural revitalization system and mechanism, creating a beautiful "Jiangxi model" reform in China, improving and perfecting the reform of people’s livelihood security system, deepening the modernization reform of municipal social governance, deepening the reform of talent development system and mechanism, deepening the reform of cultural system, and deepening the reform of "three noes" system and mechanism, and refined the specific targets, measures and measures for each action.

The second is careful organization and coordinated promotion. All the top ten reforms will be included in the list of major reform projects led by the members of the Provincial Committee for Deep Reform in 2022, and will be included as the core content in the Work Points of the Provincial Committee for Deep Reform in 2022, and a work account will be established. Every time the liaison meeting of the provincial party Committee reform special group will be specially scheduled and accurately guided. Up to now, a number of key reform projects, such as the "No.1 Reform Project" to optimize and upgrade the business environment, the reform of the scientific and technological innovation consortium of key industrial chains, the pilot reform of rural residential land in the province and standardized management actions, the deepening of the reform of ecological protection compensation system, the reform of provincial cultural enterprises, the "three mechanisms" reform of provincial talent policy, and the reform of home community pension services, have been vigorously promoted, progressed in an orderly manner, and achieved remarkable results.

The third is to improve the mechanism and pay close attention to landing. The "special supervision on comprehensively deepening the reform and tackling key problems" will be included in the supervision work plan of the provincial party Committee in 2022, and the completion of the top ten reform and tackling key problems will be taken as an important assessment content, which will be included in the newly revised "Assessment Measures for Comprehensively Deepening the Reform in Jiangxi Province". The Reform Office of the Provincial Party Committee has established a counterpart liaison service mechanism, with full docking, full tracking and comprehensive service to ensure the orderly progress of comprehensively deepening the reform and tackling key problems. According to the actual situation, all cities and counties have introduced the local overall plan and sub-item implementation plan for "tackling difficulties through reform", explored and implemented many pragmatic and effective promotion mechanisms, and formed a good situation and work pattern of linkage from top to bottom and joint efforts to tackle difficulties.

In the next step, we will carry forward the reform spirit of daring to be the first, try first, anchor "be the first to demonstrate", adhere to "dare to encounter difficulties and make breakthroughs", step up efforts to promote the comprehensive deepening of the reform and take effect, focus on solving a number of pain points, blocking points and difficult development problems, focus on forming a number of institutional, mechanism and institutional innovations, and focus on creating a number of original, fresh and distinctive reform experiences.

Jiangxi Daily reporter:It is an important method of reform to grasp the typical examples of reform and promote the reform from point to area. What innovative measures does Jiangxi province have to play a leading role in the typical demonstration of reform? What results have been achieved?

省委改革办专职副主任张晓勇(黎穗 摄)

张晓勇:习近平总书记强调:“要善于抓正面典型,及时发现总结基层的创新举措和鲜活经验,以点带面,推动改革落地。”我省认真贯彻落实习近平总书记重要要求,高度重视改革典型培育、宣传和改革经验推广工作,着力推动“点上探索”和“面上推广”同频共振、良性互动,有效发挥了改革典型对全省改革的示范引领作用。

一是大力培育改革典型。鼓励、支持、引导各地各部门坚持问题导向、目标导向、效果导向,积极探索可复制、可推广的改革经验。一方面,注重试点先行。出台《关于加强和规范改革试点工作的实施意见》,统筹实施220多项国家级、省级改革试点,涌现了余江宅改、萍乡海绵城市建设、分宜融媒体改革等一批从“试点”成为“示范”的全国改革典型。另一方面,激励担当作为。建立省委深改委会议听取基层改革创新典型做法汇报制度,树立了鼓励基层探索、培育改革典型的鲜明导向,健全容错纠错、澄清正名、及时奖励等机制,激发各地各部门大力开展原创性、差异化改革,涌现了新余“党建+颐养之家”、南昌“六多合一”工程项目审批模式、石城移风易俗改革等一批基层原创性特色改革亮点。

The second is to vigorously promote the reform of the brand. Intensify the propaganda of reform, create a strong atmosphere of striving for Excellence and catching up with learning in the whole province, and continuously expand the radiation and influence of reform. Improve the media publicity mechanism, tell the story of Jiangxi’s reform well, and publicize and report a number of "standing and screaming" reform models in the central and provincial major media every year. We will improve the information exchange mechanism, rely on the internal magazine of Jiangxi Reform Trends and the WeChat WeChat official account of Jiangxi Reform, publish new experiences and practices of reform exploration in various localities and departments in a timely manner, and create a platform of "learning from each other" to enlarge the coordinate system and identify the reference objects. A number of typical experiences and practices of reform in our province have been affirmed by the Central Reform Office and promoted to the whole country. Improve the case selection mechanism, and successively organize the selection of "40 typical cases of Jiangxi’s reform since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee" and "Top Ten Cases of Comprehensive Deepening Reform in 2021", showing a number of influential reform brands. The practice of selecting reform cases in our province has been fully affirmed by the Central Reform Office.

The third is to vigorously promote the reform experience. Constantly improve the replication and promotion mechanism of reform experience, and promote the expansion of typical reform experience from "one place and one domain" to "starting a prairie fire". Since the beginning of this year, combined with the implementation of the comprehensive deepening of the reform and tackling key problems, the provincial party Committee has clearly requested that each city, county (city, district) should explore a reform experience that can be used for reference by other cities and counties every year, and each provincial lead unit of the reform and tackling key problems should promote a reform practice that has been tested by practice and is worthy of promotion throughout the province every year. The Reform Office of the Provincial Party Committee has identified 112 reform exploration projects and 33 promotion projects this year, and issued a list of project implementation. We will strengthen overall planning and coordination, do a good job in supervision and implementation, strive to explore more achievements in the reform system and practice, create a number of "new business cards" and "golden business cards" for Jiangxi reform, and give better play to the typical demonstration and leading role of reform.

Phoenix Network reporter:Improving people’s livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development and the starting point and foothold of comprehensively deepening reform. What are the explorations and achievements of Xinyu City in the system integration reform in the field of people’s livelihood? What are your plans for the next step?

Zhong Shifu, Deputy Secretary of Xinyu Municipal Committee (photo by Li Sui)

Zhong Shifu:Over the past ten years, Xinyu has resolutely implemented the decision-making and deployment requirements of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, firmly established the people-centered development thought, took the lead in proposing the goal of building a socialist modern and happy city in an all-round way in the province, insisted on systematic integration and promoted the reform in the field of people’s livelihood, and was selected as one of the top 30 most happy cities in China with the warm image of "small city and great people’s livelihood". Not long ago, we held a high-level seminar on national livelihood system integration reform and "Xinyu Practice" with china society of economic reform, which received wide attention and good response.

First, we will do whatever the masses expect. Focusing on the people’s urgent difficulties and worries, we changed the government’s "problem" into the people’s "order", integrated more than 300 reform measures, and created 40 brands of people’s livelihood reform. We pioneered the "Party Building+Home for the Aged" model in China, and built a home for the aged by using idle houses in rural areas. As long as the elderly over 70 pay 200 yuan every month and the cities and counties support 150 yuan, they can enjoy three meals a day, daily care and leisure and entertainment services. We pay attention to the relevance of reform measures. When promoting the "Xiaokang Clinic" in rural areas, the location should be as close as possible to the home for the elderly, so that the elderly can see a doctor at their doorstep. At present, the city has built 736 homes for the aged in urban and rural areas, benefiting more than 12,000 elderly people. The brand of "Party Building+Home for the Aged" was selected as one of the top ten cases of China’s reform in 2019 and an excellent case of the pilot reform of home and community care services in China.

The second is to integrate idle capital resources and do more with less money. We strengthen the integration of funds, improve the efficiency of use, increase cost control, and promote the sustainable development of livelihood projects. Ten million yuan was integrated from the special surcharge for education to promote the Xiaohe project, so that more than 50,000 rural boarders could eat nutritious meals, take hot baths and put on clean clothes, and be selected as a typical case of basic education in China in 2020. Open a lotus garden in qualified schools, and realize self-sufficiency in vegetables while children receive labor education, saving millions of yuan every year. Our "Splash Action" adopts the methods of social purchase of services and resource integration, and has enabled more than 60,000 students in the city to master swimming skills without building a new gymnasium, a new swimming pool and a new teacher.

Third, the "four-level secretary" grasps people’s livelihood and forms a joint force for people’s livelihood reform. We have established a working mechanism of unified leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, with the "four-level secretaries" in cities, counties and villages taking their respective responsibilities, grasping the first level and implementing it at different levels, transforming the party’s political advantages into governance efficiency and converging into a powerful synergy to promote people’s livelihood reform. We pay attention to activating the grassroots "peripheral nerve" of the village party secretary, so that they can make a charge and show their talents in promoting the home for the elderly, tearing down three houses and building three parks. We also pay attention to mobilizing the forces of the society and other parties, actively guide the members of the Chamber of Commerce to participate in social governance, and donate nearly 900 million yuan for the establishment of a home for the elderly, poverty alleviation, and school aid.

People’s livelihood work has no end, only a continuous new starting point. In the next step, we will further deepen the "Xinyu practice" of people’s livelihood reform and promote the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security to be more substantial, secure and sustainable. First, adhere to the leadership of party building. Leading the reform in the field of people’s livelihood with party building, and promoting the tangible and project-oriented work of party building. The second is to adhere to integrated thinking. Adhere to the integration of policies, measures and methods, consolidate and upgrade the existing brands of people’s livelihood, speed up the filling of shortcomings and omissions in people’s livelihood, and promote the transformation and overall improvement of the reform system in the field of people’s livelihood. The third is to respect the grassroots initiative. Encourage the grassroots to try first, summarize, refine, copy and promote the good experiences and practices of people’s livelihood reform in a timely manner, and strive to provide more reform and innovation experience for the whole province and even the whole country.

Comments on the operation of the board of directors of Baiyin Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. in 2022

() The business review of the Board of Directors in the first half of 2022 is as follows:

  I. Description of the industry and main business of the company during the reporting period.

(A) the macroeconomic situation in the first half of 2022

1. The global economic situation in the first half of 2022

In the first quarter of 2022, affected by the recurrent COVID-19 epidemic and other factors, the global imbalance between supply and demand intensified, the growth rate of goods trade slowed down, the inflation level increased significantly, and the economic recovery process slowed down. In the second quarter of 2022, both the global supply side and the global demand side faced downward pressure. The growth rate of industrial production, enterprise investment, household consumption and international trade slowed down, the economic growth rate dropped significantly, and the inflation level rose in an all-round way. The international financial market continued to be turbulent, the Federal Reserve initiated a radical interest rate hike policy, the US dollar index rose strongly, major stock markets fluctuated and fell, and commodity prices continued to weaken.

2. Domestic economic situation in the first half of 2022

In the first half of 2022, China’s economy faced unprecedented challenges, especially since March, due to the unexpected factors such as the new round of COVID-19 epidemic in China, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and its sanctions, the downward pressure on China’s economy has obviously increased, which has a certain impact on the normal growth of the macro economy. With the easing of the epidemic, combined with the comprehensive efforts of macro-policies and the repair and adjustment of market players, China’s economy rebounded, with GDP growth of 2.5% in the first half of the year, and the economy stabilized and rebounded.

(II) Changes in the US dollar index and exchange rate

From January to June, 2022, the highest dollar index was 105.7913, the lowest was 94.6269, and the average value from January to June was 99.7205, which was 9.57% higher than the average value from January to June, 2021. At the end of June 2022, the closing index was 104.7057, which was 13.36% higher than the closing price at the end of June 2021. (Source:)

From January to June, 2022, the highest value of USD against RMB was 6.8150, and the lowest value was 6.3048. The average value from January to June was 6.4829, which was 128 basis points lower than the average value from January to June, 2021, with a depreciation rate of 0.20%. The closing price at the end of June 2022 was 6.6943, which was 2,331 basis points lower than that at the end of June 2021, with a depreciation rate of 3.61%.

(III) Market situation of nonferrous metals and precious metals where the company is located

In the first half of 2022, the price of non-ferrous metals rose first and then fell. From the beginning of the year to the end of April, driven by energy worries and the supply shortage caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war, non-ferrous metals rose strongly under the influence of inflation expectations and macro-emotions; Subsequently, the American hawkish action was expected to strengthen and the global economic growth rate was lowered. Since the end of April, non-ferrous prices have been under pressure. During this period, the US dollar dominated the rhythm of its volatility and retreated all the gains in the first half of the year.

1. Prices of nonferrous metals and precious metals products.

(1) Copper

From January to June, 2022, the highest price of LME-3M copper contract was $10,845/ton, and the lowest price was $8,123/ton. The average price from January to June was $9,755/ton, which was 7.35% higher than that from January to June, 2021. From January to June, 2022, the highest price of Shanghai copper main contract of Shanghai Futures Exchange was 77,270 yuan/ton, and the lowest price was 61,620 yuan/ton. The average price in January to June, 2022 was 71,536 yuan/ton, which was 7.11% higher than that in January to June, 2021.

In the first half of 2022, the overall copper price rose and fell. In the first half of the year, there were inflation expectations in the global economy. In February, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine caused the prices of crude oil, natural gas and other energy sources to rise sharply. At the same time, the extreme long-term crowding caused by the nickel incident in March further stimulated inflation speculation, so the copper price fluctuated sharply from January to April. In late April, the Federal Reserve started to raise interest rates in response to inflation, and constantly accelerated the pace of raising interest rates, which tightened the liquidity of funds. In addition, investors expected the economic recession in Europe and the United States, and copper prices entered a rapid downward trend.

(2) Zinc

From January to June 2022, the highest price of LME-3M zinc contract was USD 4,896/ton, and the lowest price was USD 3,136/ton. The average price in January to June 2022 was USD 3,799/ton, which was 33.36% higher than that in January to June 2021. From January to June, 2022, the highest price of the main contract of Shanghai Zinc in Shanghai Futures Exchange was 28,995 yuan/ton, and the lowest price was 25,525 yuan/ton. From January to June, 2022, the average price was 25,843 yuan/ton, which was 19.74% higher than that in January and June, 2021.

In the first half of 2022, the price of zinc rose first and then fell. Among them, Shanghai zinc reached a 15-year high of 28,995 yuan/ton, and fell sharply to a new low this year. Similarly, Lunzinc broke through a record high of 4,896 US dollars/ton in March and was under pressure.

(3) Lead

From January to June 2022, the highest price of LME-3M lead contract was $2,700/ton, and the lowest price was $1,883/ton. From January to June 2022, the average price was $2,265/ton, which was 8.72% higher than that in January to June 2021. From January to June, 2022, the highest price of Shanghai lead main contract in Shanghai Futures Exchange was 16,465 yuan/ton, and the lowest price was 14,680 yuan/ton. The average price in January-June, 2022 was 15,323 yuan/ton, which was 0.70% higher than that in January-June, 2021.

In the first half of 2022, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the European energy crisis, high inflation in overseas developed economies and the China epidemic led to limited economic activities in some areas, and the global financial market fluctuated violently. The major economies were "stock and debt bears", and commodities peaked and fell back after high shocks. The drag of the big environment led to the fall of colored high levels and the shock of lead prices. In the first half of 2022, the overall lead price showed a low volatility trend.

(4) Gold

From January to June, 2022, the highest price of COMEX gold was $2,079/ounce, and the lowest price was $1,781/ounce. From January to June, 2022, the average price was $1,877/ounce, which was 4.03% higher than the average price from January to June, 2021.

From January to June 2022, the highest price of spot gold 9999 in Shanghai Gold Exchange was 416.18 yuan/gram, and the lowest price was 368.42 yuan/gram. The average price from January to June 2022 was 391.94 yuan/gram, which was 3.59% higher than that from January to June 2021.

In the first quarter of 2022, due to the sudden escalation of geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, risk aversion rose sharply, and the sharp rise in energy prices once again ignited inflation expectations. With the double boost of safe-haven demand and inflation worries, the gold price, the US dollar index and the US bond yield rose simultaneously. Subsequently, due to the staged easing of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, the Federal Reserve started this round of interest rate hike cycle, and the price of gold fluctuated at a high level. Until mid-April, due to inflationary pressure from overseas economies, off the charts, the Federal Reserve turned completely into an eagle, and its determination to curb inflation was firm. As a result, the pace of interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve continued to exceed expectations, and the real interest rate in the United States began to rise, from negative to positive, thus suppressing the price of gold.

(5) Silver

From January to June 2022, the highest price of COMEX silver was $27/oz, and the lowest price was $20/oz. The average price from January to June 2022 was $23/oz, which was 11.79% lower than the average price from January to December 2020. From January to June 2022, the highest price of Huatong Platinum Silver 1# silver was 5313 yuan/kg, and the lowest price was 4490 yuan/kg. The average price from January to June 2022 was 4856 yuan/kg, which was 10.42% lower than that from January to June 2021. (Source: Huatong Baiyin Net)

In the first half of 2022, silver followed the trend of gold price as a whole, but the overall performance of silver was weaker than that of gold because of the double negative effects of financial and commodity attributes.

2. Output of nonferrous metals and precious metals products

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of 2022, the industrial added value of non-ferrous metals industry increased by 5% year-on-year. The output of ten kinds of non-ferrous metals was 32.83 million tons, up by 1% year-on-year. Among them, the output of copper, aluminum and lead increased by 2.5%, 0.7% and 3.1% respectively, and the output of zinc decreased by 1.7%.

Among them, 139.15 tons of gold minerals and 35.53 tons of non-ferrous by-product gold were completed.

3. Profits of non-ferrous metal mining, smelting and rolling processing industries

According to the data of National Bureau of Statistics, from January to May, 2022, the mining industry realized a total profit of 708.27 billion yuan, up 130.9% year-on-year, and the non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry realized a total profit of 29.77 billion yuan, up 54.2% year-on-year.

The sales network can not only directly face the market, grasp the local market demand, but also know the customer information in time and provide good after-sales service. The company adjusts the sales price and sales strategy daily according to market conditions at any time to effectively cope with market changes.

Second, the discussion and analysis of the business situation

(1) Production situation

In the first half of 2022, the company’s mining and dressing system produced 123,500 tons of copper, lead, zinc and molybdenum concentrate, an increase of 3,200 tons, or 2.66%, compared with the same period of last year, of which 30,800 tons of concentrate contained copper, or an increase of 6,300 tons, or 25.71%. The concentrate contains 80,100 tons of zinc, which is 5,500 tons less than that of the same period of last year, with a range of 6.43%. The concentrate contains 12,500 tons of lead, an increase of 24,000 tons over the same period of last year, with a range of 23.76%; The concentrate contains 92 tons of molybdenum, an increase of 15 tons over the same period of last year, with a range of 19.48%. The main reasons for the increase of copper, lead and zinc metal in the concentrate produced by the company’s mining and dressing system compared with the same period of last year are: the change of ore grade of Peru tailings and the improvement of mineral processing technology.

The smelting system produced 125,900 tons of cathode copper, an increase of 24,100 tons over the same period of last year, with a range of 23.67%; The production of electrical lead was 0.83 million tons, a decrease of 0.23 million tons compared with the same period of last year, with a range of 21.7%; The production of zinc products was 200,900 tons, an increase of 24,900 tons over the same period of last year, with a range of 14.15%; It produced 4,843 kilograms of gold (including 1,272 kilograms of gold produced by the first gold), an increase of 1,317 kilograms over the same period of last year, with a range of 37.35%; The production of silver was 96.1 tons, an increase of 9.6 tons or 11.1% over the same period of last year; The production of sulfuric acid was 737,800 tons, an increase of 53,500 tons or 7.82% over the same period of last year. The year-on-year increase of non-ferrous metal cathode copper and by-products of gold, silver and sulfuric acid was mainly due to the adjustment of production mode of copper smelting and electrolysis process, and the output of non-ferrous metal products and by-products increased compared with the same period of last year; The main reason for the year-on-year decrease of electric lead is that the production of electric lead decreased year-on-year due to the maintenance of production system; The main reason for the year-on-year increase of zinc products is that the effective production time in the first half of the year of Chengzhou Zinc Smelter under the company increased compared with the same period of last year, and the output increased year-on-year.

(II) Construction of key projects

Major changes in the company’s operation during the reporting period, as well as matters that have a significant impact on the company’s operation during the reporting period and are expected to have a significant impact in the future.

Third, possible risks

1. Market environmental risks. Non-ferrous metal industry is a basic raw material industry in the fields of national economy, people’s daily life and national defense industry. It belongs to a typical cyclical industry and is closely related to the macroeconomic operation. Macroeconomic fluctuations have a great impact on the prices of non-ferrous metal products. By strengthening the research and analysis of macro-economy, government policies and industry development, the company makes timely countermeasures for possible risks.

2. Industrial policy risks. With the deepening of domestic supply-side reform and the rising competition threshold, head enterprises will accelerate the integration of factor resources, focus on solving the key challenges faced by the industry in terms of resources, energy and technology, and store energy for future industrial development, which will accelerate the reorganization and integration of superior resources, promote the improvement of industry concentration and promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. The company will take advantage of the great opportunity of the state to promote the reform of state-owned capital, actively strive for the policy support of the state and Gansu Province, continuously optimize the industrial layout and improve the conditions for industrial development.

3. Political risks. South Africa and Peru, the main investment places of the company, have good political relations with the government of China, and both countries are countries with low political risks. With the deepening of economic cooperation between China and the two countries, the investment risks are controllable. At the same time, the company’s local management personnel actively pay attention to political trends and maintain a high degree of contact with the embassy, and report the relevant situation to the company in time to ensure that the risks are controllable.

4. Domestic and foreign legal risks. The legal risks faced by the company are mainly litigation and arbitration risks, and the laws of the countries where overseas investment is made are different, so it is necessary to face a large number of legal contracts and related legal issues cautiously. The company will do a good job in relevant legal work, continue to improve the legal risk prevention system at home and abroad, establish and improve the legal risk prevention system at home and abroad, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the company to the maximum extent, provide professional services and legal advice by hiring a professional team of lawyers, and participate in the transaction process, thus providing a strong guarantee for controlling legal risks.

5. Environmental risks. With the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements for comprehensive management of ecological environment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the goal and vision of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality put forward by the state, it has become an important task for mining and metallurgy enterprises to carry out green manufacturing at present. Facing the increasingly severe environmental pressure, the company will strengthen the analysis of industry policies, formulate reasonable production and management strategies, strengthen environmental protection, promote the application of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, and realize green development.

6. Product price risk. The prices of the company’s main products such as copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver are mainly determined with reference to domestic and international market prices. The domestic and international market prices of these metals are not only affected by changes in supply and demand, but also closely related to the development of macroeconomics and downstream related industries. Great changes in the global economic environment, market supply and demand, industry development policies, tariffs and exchange rates will have a great impact on product prices and aggravate the fluctuation range and frequency of non-ferrous product prices. By making full use of risk hedging means, the company standardizes hedging to minimize the adverse impact on the company’s operations.

7. Raw material procurement risk. The price of raw materials is closely related to the prices of basic metals such as copper, zinc and lead. The price of base metals is not only affected by changes in supply and demand, but also by the development of macro-economy and downstream related industries. In addition, the epidemic situation will also have an impact on the supply of non-ferrous materials and the price of non-ferrous metals. In the first half of 2022, the epidemic situation occurred repeatedly at home and abroad, which affected the procurement of raw materials at home and abroad to varying degrees. The transportation was blocked and the planned arrival was delayed, which had a certain impact on the production of enterprises. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to an increase in oil prices and freight rates, which led to an increase in procurement costs and production costs of enterprises. If the above factors lead to the continuous decline in the price of basic metals, it will reduce the selling price of the company’s products, which will adversely affect the company’s operating performance.

Measures to deal with the risk of raw material procurement: keep a close eye on the changing factors such as market price, exchange rate, demand, processing fee and supply, keep abreast of the production situation of smelters and mines at home and abroad, and formulate procurement strategies and modes according to market information, inventory situation and production situation; Increase the proportion of mine procurement at home and abroad, and sign long-term strategic cooperation agreements with mining enterprises to ensure long-term stable supply. Dig deep into the market potential, graft the trading platform of subsidiaries, give full play to the channels and advantages of subsidiaries, increase the market share, and enhance the market control ability and raw material guarantee ability. Fine management, standardize the procurement process, optimize the management mode of procurement funds, speed up capital turnover, and improve the level of risk prevention and control.

8. Trading risks of financial derivatives. The financial derivatives transactions conducted by the company are mainly hedging business. Hedging can help enterprises to transfer and avoid price risks, but at the same time, they have to face various risks brought by hedging transactions. The main risks are divided into compliance risk, market risk, cash flow risk, liquidity risk, basis risk, credit risk, operational risk and agreement legal risk. The company will strictly implement the business rules of the futures exchange and the relevant systems of the company’s hedging business to effectively prevent trading risks.

The "family" is amazing! You must have never seen the Wuxi version of Animal World …

"

For the first time, the activity trace of the Chinese gazelle, a national second-class key protected animal, was found in Zhuhai, Yixing. The fragile snake lizard, which requires extremely high living environment, has a stable breeding small population in Yixing. The bryophyte survey was carried out to fill in the gap and 11 new records were found in Wuxi …

The reporter learned from the Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning

Investigation on wildlife resources in our city

And the survey of wild plant resources achieved interim results.

Through a year’s field investigation and research analysis, it is shown that

????

There are 1409 species of higher plants in our city, and Wuxi is one of the areas with the most concentrated plant resources in Jiangsu. A total of 285 species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians were found in the city, accounting for 47.2% of the total number of Jiangsu Province, of which 235 species of birds were investigated, accounting for 52.5% of the total number of bird species in the province, and the biodiversity richness can be said to be in the forefront of the province.

Good habitat environment

Crispy snake lizard has a stable breeding small population.

Most wild animals are hidden in deep forests and rivers and springs wetlands, and some of them are not easy to be found by people, but they are important indicators of biodiversity. "The latest survey of terrestrial wildlife resources in Wuxi was conducted in 2011, and it has been more than ten years since then." Feng Yao, who is in charge of wildlife protection in the Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning, said that this survey is particularly meaningful from the perspective of finding out the "family background" of wildlife resources.

Bird survey

It is particularly worth mentioning that the survey covers not only mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and terrestrial vertebrates, but also insects, with a wider coverage.

Insect investigation

"There are many kinds of insects in the world. Although it is small, it is the species that best reflects biodiversity. Bird migration season and breeding season need to prey and accumulate energy, and the existence of insects plays an important role in the integrity of the biological chain. " Feng Yao introduced that the insect specimens collected in this survey identified 185 species in 12 orders. Among them, a species endemic to China and a national second-class protected animal, Cynomorium songaricum, was found in Yixing Forest Farm, which was recorded for the first time in Wuxi.

The beetle (left) and the tiger-spotted butterfly (right) discovered by insect investigation

At the same time, 40 species of butterflies belonging to 5 families were recorded, among which 4 species were newly recorded in Wuxi.

"The reptiles have extremely high requirements on water quality and habitat environment. The discovery of the brittle snake lizard has excited us for a long time." According to the investigators, 8 species of amphibians in 1 order, 3 families and 16 species of reptiles in 2 orders and 7 families were recorded, including 4 species of national second-class protected animals, namely tiger frog, turtle, flat-breasted turtle and brittle snake lizard.

In particular, the brittle snake lizard is a rare species in the mountain forest area of East China, its behavior is hidden and rarely known to the public, and its distribution and population number are relatively rare in East China. This survey found that there are stable small populations near Zhuhai and surrounding Yixing Forest Farm in Yixing City, indicating that the protection of local habitats is effective.

Infrared camera monitoring photos of some mammal species investigated.

There are also many new discoveries in mammals, including 6 orders, 14 families and 26 species. Among these animals, raccoon, leopard cat and Chinese gazelle are the second-class national key protected animals. Field infrared camera monitoring results show that Apodemus chinensis, Mus musculus, South China rabbit, wild boar, pig badger and Yellow weasel are common mammals in Wuxi.

Surprisingly, through fecal DNA identification technology, the investigators confirmed the existence of Chinese gazelle in Zhuhai, Yixing. Chinese gazelle is a large herbivore of Artiodactyla and Bovidae. "The appearance of this species shows that the environmental quality in Yixing mountain area has improved obviously in recent years, and the protection should be further strengthened to provide favorable conditions for the rejuvenation of the medium-sized carnivore population in the later period." Investigators said.

There are a group of regular birdwatchers in Wuxi, where the sky is blue and the water is clear. What is the "bird situation" in Wuxi? It is reported that a total of 235 species of birds were recorded in last year’s survey, including 6 species of national first-class protected animals such as oriental stork and Chinese merganser duck, and 42 species of national second-class protected animals such as white pelican.

"From the perspective of bird residence type, there are 86 species of winter migratory birds, accounting for 36.6%, followed by resident birds, summer migratory birds and tourist birds, accounting for 32.8%, 26.4% and 4.3% respectively." Feng Yao said that over the past 10 years, birdwatchers in our city have recorded about 370 species of birds, and the specific data need to be further verified and supplemented in the next investigation, so as to "draw a clear picture" of birds as much as possible and build a good database.

Fill the gap in plant investigation

There are more than 220 species of moss alone.

A Newly Recorded Species, Lepidoptera spinosa, in Wuxi City

"Moss is a primitive higher plant group that is extremely sensitive to environmental changes. It is a large plant category in East China. It is the home for insects, microorganisms and so on, and it is of great significance to the study of biodiversity." Feng Yao introduced that in order to reflect the biodiversity of our city more comprehensively, a special survey was conducted on bryophytes, which also filled the gap in the field of wild plant survey in Wuxi.

According to the consulting data and field survey, there are 221 species of bryophytes belonging to 94 genera and 44 families in our city, among which 11 species of bryophytes such as deciduous feather moss, spiny leaf feather moss and dense leaf calyx moss were discovered for the first time in Wuxi.

In terms of vascular plants, gratifying achievements have been made in the protection of biodiversity. A total of 1188 species of vascular plants belonging to 567 genera in 155 families have been investigated, including 47 species of pteridophytes belonging to 28 genera in 19 families, 11 species of gymnosperms belonging to 10 genera in 6 families and 1130 species of angiosperms belonging to 529 genera in 130 families.

Specimens of wax leaves of some plants

"Through the analysis of the geographical elements of plants, it can be seen that the flora of Wuxi has certain antiquity, such as Lycopodium, Selaginella and Equisetum of ferns, Dictyophora of gymnosperms, Magnoliaceae and Hamamelidaceae of angiosperms." According to the researchers, 11 kinds of national protected plants (above Grade II) have been found in Wuxi, namely, Plum, Ginkgo biloba, Dictyophora bungeana, Pistacia crassipes, Zelkova schneideriana, Tenjikukatsura, wild soybean, wild water chestnut, fragrant fruit tree and buckwheat, and many of them are "longevity stars" in the plant kingdom.

The national protected plant Anemone spicata.

Wild soybean, a national protected plant.

For example, in addition to the plum, gingko and money pine that Wuxi people are familiar with, the fragrant fruit tree also has an "ancient" temperament. It is an ancient relict plant, a deciduous tree with a height of 25 meters and a DBH of 1 meter. It is mainly distributed in Xiaoheigou, Longchi Mountain and other places in Yixing in Wuxi. Investigators also found more than ten wild species of rare and endangered plant Cabernet Sauvignon in Xiangyang broad-leaved forest at an altitude of 300-600 meters in Yixing, which shows that the protection of the germplasm resources of Cabernet Sauvignon in our city has achieved initial results.

Torreya grandis, a national protected plant.

Finding out the "family background" is for more targeted protection. On the basis of a comprehensive investigation of the status quo of wildlife resources and habitats, experts put forward suggestions on biodiversity protection. For example, in the Zhuhai area of Yixing, some rare plants such as torreya grandis and Pinus bungeana grow in the Phyllostachys pubescens forest. Because of the extremely fast propagation speed of Phyllostachys pubescens, interspecific competition and interference pose some threats to the habitats of these rare trees. We can create forest gaps and protect the living environment of rare plants by means of appropriate logging.

Yixing National Forest Park is the mountain with the richest wildlife resources and the best natural forest protection in Wuxi at present. However, in the core area of the reserve, it is found that there are signs of collective mountaineering and hiking hanging by donkey friends. It is suggested that mountaineering and hiking activities should be eliminated in the core area to create a better environment for wildlife survival.
