　　2. The development of linen industry

　　Compared with other textile industries, hemp textiles have unique product characteristics, small overall scale, high industrial concentration and strong enterprise innovation, and still have certain industrial competitive advantages. In 2023, China’s hemp textile industry overcame difficulties such as high fluctuation of raw materials and rising labor costs, showed resilience and vitality, advanced in recovery and stabilized under pressure, and achieved good results, becoming one of the highlights of the textile industry. However, the industry is still facing severe situations such as insufficient demand and market fluctuation, especially the flax industry, which accounts for the largest proportion, is facing challenges such as shortage of raw materials, skyrocketing prices and unstable quality. In recent years, hemp textile industry has developed rapidly. Under the complicated external economic environment, the prices of ramie raw materials, yarns and fabrics will be relatively stable in 2023, and there will be no shortage of raw materials.

　　3. Development of printing and dyeing industry

　　In 2023, due to factors such as insufficient market demand and intensified market competition, the operating efficiency of printing and dyeing enterprises was obviously under pressure. However, with the gradual recovery of the domestic demand market and the active expansion of the international market, the efficiency level of the printing and dyeing industry improved steadily. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to December 2023, the output of printed and dyed fabrics of enterprises above designated size in the printing and dyeing industry was 55.882 billion meters, up by 1.30% year-on-year; Operating income was 298.615 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.44%; The total profit was 13.915 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.26%. The growth rate of operating income and total profit turned from negative to positive, the profit rate of sales steadily increased, the operating efficiency of enterprises continued to improve, and the economic operation of printing and dyeing industry showed a sustained recovery trend.

　　4. Development of textile and garment export industry

　　In 2023, the global economy is in a downward cycle, and the global trade is "de-globalized" and fragmented. China’s textile and garment export enterprises are faced with the dual pressures of order reduction and order transfer. Facing the challenge, the central and local governments at all levels have continuously introduced and implemented the policy of "stabilizing foreign trade". Although the annual textile and garment trade volume has decreased compared with the previous year, it has still achieved good results, with exports reaching US$ 293.6 billion, down 8.1% from the previous year. Among them, it stopped falling and rebounded in December, with exports reaching US$ 25.3 billion, up 2.6% year-on-year, and resumed positive growth in a single month.

　　5. Development of clothing retail industry

　　In 2023, China’s economy as a whole showed a trend of low, high and stable, with GDP increasing by 5.2% year-on-year. The textile and garment industry is active, and the retail sales have achieved double-digit growth. The retail sales of clothing, shoes, hats, needles and textiles in the whole year reached 1.4 trillion yuan, up 12.9% year-on-year. Online retail sales also maintained a strong growth trend, and online retail sales of physical goods increased by 8.4% year-on-year. Residents’ consumption expenditure increased steadily, and the per capita clothing consumption expenditure increased by 8.4%. Because the newly published laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules and industrial policies have a significant positive impact on the industry. Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and other 9 departments and bureaus issued "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Textile and Apparel Industry", Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued "Measures for Cultivating Key Brands of Textile and Apparel Industry in Hunan Province", and the strengthening of the support and cultivation of Huxiang brand clothing by the provincial party committee and government will promote our company to continuously improve the pace of high-quality development of textile and apparel brands.

The company has continuously increased its investment in research and development of hemp products, mainly including ramie, flax, hemp yarn, fabrics and clothing, professional clothing containing hemp, and so on.

　　(II) Main products of the company

　　Step 1: Fabric

　　The company’s fabric is mainly ramie, which is a unique ramie resource in China, and is called "China Grass". China is the main ramie producer in the world, and its ramie output accounts for more than 90% of the world’s total output. Ramie fiber belongs to natural green ecological fiber, which has excellent properties such as moisture absorption, air permeability, bacteriostasis, mildew resistance, ultraviolet resistance and static electricity. The planting process of hemp crops has green ecological characteristics. Hemp fiber is regarded as a symbol of high grade and high quality in developed countries and regions. Ramie textiles are breathable, cool, antibacterial and antiseptic, and are ideal high-grade fabrics. With the deepening understanding of hemp fiber, the domestic market potential of hemp spinning products is huge. The company will continue to innovate and develop new fabrics, adapt to market changes, further optimize the whole industrial chain, and vigorously expand the consumption market space of hemp textiles. At present, the company’s main products are pure hemp and hemp blended yarns (including ramie, flax and hemp) and hemp fabrics.

　　Step 2 dress

　　Based on its own linen fabrics, the company has developed its own brands and ODM/OEM business together. It owns domestic clothing brands such as Huasheng Nature-Family, overseas e-commerce brands such as IseBayLinens and ROSS&FRECKLE. In the future, the company will improve its own brand matrix and create multi-brand differentiated development.

　　

　　Iv. analysis of core competitiveness during the reporting period

　　1. Brand advantage

　　The company owns well-known brands in textile and garment industry such as Cedar, Dongting, Jinshuang and Huasheng-Natural Family. Among them, "Cedar" is a well-known trademark in China, "DT ramie yarn" is a famous export brand, and "Jinshuang", "Cedar" and "Dongting" are all rated as famous products in Hunan Province in 2009.

　　VI. The Company’s Discussion and Analysis on the Company’s Future Development

　　(A) the industry pattern and trends

　　Due to the severity and complexity of the external environment, the global geopolitical pattern will continue to be impacted. The momentum of world economic growth is insufficient. It is predicted that the global economy will only grow by 2.9% in 2024, facing the risk of "stagflation", the foundation of American economic recovery is still not stable, and the prospect of EU economic recovery is hardly optimistic. Under this new situation, the "de-globalization" and fragmentation of global trade will intensify. However, China’s textile and garment foreign trade industry will still face the challenge of insufficient external demand and falling orders in 2024. However, as China’s economy continues to stabilize and improve, based on the advantages of China’s textile and garment industry chain and stable supply chain, we are looking for opportunities in times of crisis. Internally, through improving quality and efficiency, we will promote digital intelligence, green and low-carbon transformation and achieve high-quality development; We will continue to increase efforts to explore emerging markets, and maintain our sustained, healthy and stable development by innovating trade methods, expanding the export scale of intermediate products, and accelerating cross-border e-commerce to go to sea.

　　It is estimated that in 2024, textile and garment exports will gradually stabilize and resume growth. We will continue to pay close attention to the development and changes of the global situation and take effective measures to ensure that 2024 is the target of the company to drive the development of the industrial chain with hemp clothing and home. We will anchor the beautiful blueprint of the three-year action plan, strengthen our confidence and maintain our strength, seize all favorable opportunities and use all favorable conditions to cope with the changes in the situation.

　　Linen textile, as an important industry in linen textile industry, is a manufacturing industry with comparative advantages in China. At present, more than 70% of the world’s flax fibers are processed in China, and the finished products cover the whole world. China flax fiber is mainly imported, accounting for more than 90% of the annual processing capacity. In recent ten years, the annual import of flax raw materials is about 120,000-140,000 tons, and about 30% of flax yarns produced in China are directly exported to all parts of the world. However, in recent years, due to the influence of many factors, the export volume has generally shown a slight decline. In 2023, the main flax producing areas in Europe were affected by the climate. The flax plants grew poorly, the maturity was not enough, the length was much shorter than in previous years, and the quality was uneven, and the decline was obvious. This influence will be more obvious in 2024.

　　Due to the rising price of flax raw materials, many spinning mills seek for other hemp raw materials to replace them, and they have set their eyes on hemp and ramie, thus stimulating the use of hemp and ramie. At present, the prices of ramie raw materials, yarns and fabrics are relatively stable, and there is no shortage of raw materials. At present, the price difference between ramie and flax and hemp products has been widened, which has great value space.

　　(II) Company development strategy

　　Guided by Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, we will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, fully and accurately implement the new development concept, focus on the manufacturing industry of hemp products with the theme of enhancing the core competitiveness of products and realizing the high-quality development of enterprises, adhere to the development direction of high-end, intelligent and green, improve the supply chain of industrial chain, move towards the middle and high end of the value chain, enhance the ability of scientific and technological innovation, and strengthen the construction of Huasheng’s own brand and marketing. Improve product competitiveness, scientific and technological innovation and brand influence, help the revival of Hunan ramie industry with characteristics of people’s livelihood, and meet the people’s demand for high-quality hemp products.

　　(3) Business plan

　　2024 is a crucial year to promote the development of industrial chain with hemp clothing and home furnishing. We will anchor the beautiful blueprint of the three-year action plan, strengthen our confidence and maintain our strength, seize all favorable opportunities and use all favorable conditions to cope with the changes in the situation.

　　(1) Strengthen the main business, increase confidence and go all out to achieve high-quality development.

　　Accelerate the layout of the industrial chain, realize that all enterprises can grasp their fingers and fight together, and the back-end clothing plate will drive the front-end textile plate to upgrade. Increase research and development efforts in fabrics and styles to achieve a breakthrough in single products. Based on the existing platform, create a new platform, and work together to create a Huasheng product matrix on the basis of the differentiated development of apparel companies, industry and trade companies and wholly-owned subsidiaries, so as to become a new profit growth pole and realize the overall brand output.

　　(2) Forging long boards and making up short boards, and going all out to improve the level of scientific and technological innovation.

　　Unswervingly regard scientific and technological innovation as a powerful engine to cultivate new quality productivity, and promote the construction of original technology source of ramie products to take a more solid step. The first is to increase technology research and development. Around the end products of business men’s wear, outdoor leisure and high-grade bedding, we will develop high-end hemp blended composite new fabrics and form clothing end products to market. The second is to accelerate the construction of an innovation platform system. Lead or participate in the construction of ramie material laboratory, and constantly improve the quality standards and scientific and technological content of Huasheng products. The third is to improve the level of intelligent manufacturing. Huasheng Industry & Trade increased the product payment rate by more than 20%, and the automation coverage of textile technology company increased from 30% to more than 50%.

　　(3) Inventory and incremental control, and make every effort to speed up the disposal and revitalization of important assets.

　　Focus on two plots, adhere to the principle of marketization and legalization, advance steadily and orderly according to laws and regulations, and avoid all kinds of risks in the process of asset disposal. Effectively turn asset resources into valuable capital, provide financial guarantee for the development of industrial chain enterprises, and help the development of main business.

　　(4) the blade is inward, and it is really hard to move, and go all out to make good use of the key measure of reform.

　　First, deepen the reform around giving play to the three roles of scientific and technological innovation, industrial foundation and safety support, and provide strong support for the development of the main business. The second is to achieve job promotion, personnel entry and exit, and income increase and decrease. Promote the pilot project of professional managers and the tenure system and contractual management of managers as a whole. Continue to implement the system of competition for posts, final adjustment and incompetent withdrawal. The third is to adhere to the "two consistency" and integrate the party’s leadership into all aspects and fields of corporate governance. Build a professional, responsible, standardized and efficient board of directors to ensure the management autonomy of managers. Continuously improve the modernization level of corporate governance system and governance capacity.

　　(5) Strengthen party building, promote integration, and go all out to lead the high-quality development of the main business with high-quality party building.

　　Put the party’s political construction in the first place, integrate the party’s leadership into all aspects of corporate governance, and promote the development of various undertakings. Hold firmly the main responsibility of ideological work and hold firmly the main position of propaganda and ideological work. Deepen the reform of the system and mechanism of talent development and optimize the professional structure of the team. Adhere to the construction of party building and United front organizations and strengthen the construction of trade unions. Continue to promote the construction of "clean and honest", strengthen supervision and inspection, and strictly enforce discipline and accountability. Compaction of production safety responsibility, careful investigation of all kinds of problems and hidden dangers, to ensure overall stability.

　　(4) Possible risks

　　1. Macro risks

　　The new round of geopolitical conflicts continues to deepen, the demand is sluggish, the "scar effect" of energy crisis, debt risk and epidemic situation has not subsided, anti-globalization trends such as unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, global production and logistics are hindered, the growth momentum of the international market is weakening, and domestic demand is sluggish, so the development of textile industry is facing more obstacles. The complexity, instability and uncertainty of the external situation still exist in 2024, but China’s economy has strong resilience, great potential and sufficient vitality. On the whole, there are more favorable conditions than unfavorable ones, and there are still many factors supporting the stable and healthy development of China’s economy.

　　Due to the multiple influences of macroeconomic environment and import and export policies, the company will continue to enhance its ability to resist risks through effective management means, try its best to overcome possible difficulties and challenges, and keep the overall operation smooth and orderly.

　　2. Risk of exchange rate fluctuation

　　The functional currency of the company’s consolidated statements is RMB, and the main import and export business is mainly foreign currency settlement such as US dollars. Exchange rate fluctuations may bring certain exchange losses to the operation. The company will continue to strengthen risk awareness, study financial instruments, and control exchange rate risk within a sustainable range.

　　3, labor cost risk

　　The company belongs to a completely competitive enterprise, a labor-intensive traditional industry and a heavy-asset production enterprise. The rising labor cost, rising raw material prices, large investment in the upgrading of fixed assets and equipment, low scientific and technological content, and low degree of marketization have caused sustained losses in its main business for many years. The company will continue to explore intelligent industrial upgrading and continuously reduce labor costs.

　　4. Risk of talent shortage

　　The company is relatively short of high-quality managers, leading project R&D leaders, professional production technicians and sales staff, which may restrict the company’s product R&D upgrading and market development in the future and bring risks to the company’s operation. The company will increase the introduction of all kinds of talents.

He said that Liaoning is an important industrial base and an opening frontier in China. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always attached great importance to Liaoning, and is full of expectations, encouraging us to show greater responsibility and achievements in the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era. At present, Liaoning is fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, thoroughly implementing the important speech and instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the revitalization and development of Northeast China and Liaoning, firmly grasping the primary task of high-quality development, and vigorously implementing the three-year action of comprehensive revitalization and new breakthrough. It is hoped that the three joint ventures will work in the same direction, intensify their work, speed up the progress of the project, and strive for early completion, production and efficiency. Relevant departments directly under the provincial government and Panjin City should establish a "fast track" for serving enterprises and a "green track" for solving problems, strive to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international first-class business environment, create a strong atmosphere of pro-business, valuing business, respecting business and being safe, make every effort to ensure the smooth implementation of the project and ensure that the project takes root and bears fruit on the land of Liaoning.

　　Liu Shiquan extended a warm welcome to all the guests attending the groundbreaking ceremony, and expressed heartfelt thanks to the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, the provincial government and Saudi Aramco for their strong support and great efforts.

Building and operating this project well is of great significance for North China Industrial Group to achieve high-quality development and build a world-class group company with global competitiveness. Today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks that the fine chemicals and raw materials project has officially entered a new stage of comprehensive construction. I believe that with the strong support and help of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government and the Panjin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, through the hard work and hard work of all parties to the joint venture, the project will definitely achieve the goals of one-time design, one-time construction success and one-time start-up success, realize the win-win development of all parties to the joint venture, and turn the project into a landmark project of "Belt and Road" construction and a model project of comprehensive strategic cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia.

　　Hallerby said that Saudi-Chinese relations have developed rapidly in recent years, and bilateral cooperation in economic and trade exchanges and other fields has yielded fruitful results and broad prospects. The fine chemicals and raw materials engineering project is an example of pioneering cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China, a key link in China’s future petrochemical industry planning and industrial value chain development, and will also help the northeast of China to fully revitalize. As the world’s leading comprehensive energy company, Saudi Aramco plays a special role in the relations between Saudi Arabia and China. Through the cooperation with Saudi Aramco, the project will provide strong support for the safe, efficient and sustainable development of petrochemical industry and energy in China.

　　Katani thanked all colleagues who played a role in promoting today’s groundbreaking ceremony and thanked Liaoning for its warm reception. He said that today is a historic day to celebrate. With the joint efforts of all parties, fine chemical and raw material engineering projects have reached a new starting point and reached a new height. At present, Saudi Aramco is expanding oil production capacity, continuously reducing carbon intensity and promoting energy transformation. This project is in perfect harmony with the downstream strategy of Saudi Aramco, and will become a model for the development of modern petrochemical industry in China. Based on this project, we will promote all parties to carry out in-depth cooperation, ensure the safe and reliable operation of business, create more employment opportunities and better create social value, and contribute to the long-term energy security and high-quality development of China and the revitalization and development of Liaoning.

　　Hao Peng and Li Lecheng, on behalf of the provincial party committee and government, welcomed the arrival of Qatani and his party and thanked Saudi Aramco for its efforts to promote the project construction. Hao Peng said that under the strategic guidance of the Supreme Leader Chairman and Saudi King Salman, China-Saudi Arabia relations have made great progress, which not only benefited the two peoples, but also laid a foundation for promoting economic and trade cooperation. The fine chemical and raw material engineering projects started this time are the landmark achievements of China-Saudi Arabia strategic cooperation. Saudi Aramco is a world-famous petrochemical enterprise, which has created extraordinary business performance. Liaoning is an important industrial base in China, with a solid industrial base, obvious location advantages and a strong sense of openness. It has good economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges with many countries and regions in the world, and there is a broad foundation for further deepening cooperation with Saudi Arabia. At present, Liaoning has thoroughly implemented the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader and Chairman, accelerated the new breakthrough of all-round revitalization, worked hard all over the province, and all undertakings are thriving, which is welcoming great opportunities for great development and rapid development. Fine chemical and raw material engineering projects are the "highlights" of Liaoning’s accelerated project construction this year, which will surely promote and support the revitalization and development of Northeast China and Liaoning and better benefit the people of China and Saudi Arabia. It is hoped that the three parties will make joint efforts to build fine chemical and raw material engineering projects into high-standard and high-quality demonstration projects. As the host, Liaoning will vigorously create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international business environment to provide a strong guarantee for the construction and operation of the project.I hope that we can take this cooperation as an opportunity to continuously create a new situation of deepening cooperation, and hope that Saudi Aramco will introduce Liaoning to the world more and drive more enterprises to develop in Liaoning.

　　Katani said that today, we are witnessing the start of the construction of the landmark project of fine chemicals and raw materials engineering. I believe that with the close cooperation of the three parties, we will be able to build a world-class petrochemical integrated device, build and operate the project well, bring benefits to all parties and contribute to the revitalization of the Northeast.

Xiamen International Conference Center renderings

People’s Daily Online, Beijing, September 6 (Reporter Jia Xingpeng) "Xiamen is home to five continents, and Menna is a vast expanse of water". On September 4th, the ninth meeting of BRICS leaders attracted worldwide attention was held in "Ludao" Xiamen, which brought new development opportunities to China. At the same time, Xiamen International Conference Center, the main venue of the meeting, also entered the world’s sight.

Everyone is amazed at the "high value" of the venue. No one would have thought that this finely crafted project was built by the original team of G20 Hangzhou International Expo Center, and the reconstruction time was only six months …

The original team of G20 Hangzhou main venue was built.

Back to last year, the G20 Hangzhou Summit just ended perfectly. A group of builders of the Hangzhou International Expo Center, the main venue of the G20 Hangzhou Summit, are preparing to "have a good rest for a while" and have received the renovation project of Xiamen International Conference Center, the main venue of the BRICS meeting.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the original team immediately went south and traveled from Hangzhou to Xiamen. With the help of the general contracting management experience successfully applied in the construction of the main venue of the G20 Hangzhou Summit, six months later, they transformed the Xiamen International Conference Center.

"We are tired and happy to lay a’ golden brick’ for Xiamen, a strategic fulcrum city of the Maritime Silk Road." Zhang Xiaoyong, deputy general manager of the General Contracting Company of China Construction Eighth Bureau and deputy commander of the BRICS site project, said.

BRICS leaders meet in Xiamen main meeting room

The International Conference Center, located on Xiamen Island Road, has been built for nearly 8 years, with a total construction area of 143,000 square meters and a renovation area of 30,000 square meters. "This is the hardest 30,000 square meters I have ever done." Mao Dengwen, the general contractor project manager of the BRICS site project of the China Construction Eighth Bureau General Contracting Company, said.

At the end of January this year, the design scheme was finally finalized, which means that in a very short time, they have to complete the new construction of the East Corridor, the Welcome Corridor, the Welcome Hall and the West Gate Hall of the conference room of the Fifth National Congress on the first floor, as well as the transformation of the business forum, bilateral talks, small conference hall and the main venue and state banquet hall on the second floor.

"All work can only be done in a cross way, which is the only way to ensure the construction period." However, difficulties followed. The conference hall of the Five National Congress, located in the southwest corner of the conference center, is a three-story new conference hall. It is not really a new one, but a new one after the three-story building in the original area was demolished and opened, and the sea viewing platform and tea lounge area were added to the new part, which is equivalent to twice the original area.

"It is equivalent to embedding a bigger cake on a cake with a corner cut off," Mao Dengwen described. According to the construction site, the project department extended outward and completed the three-storey main structure, which ensured the overall coordination of the exhibition center building and made it possible to "embed" the large volume.

"The difficulty of reconstruction is really much higher than that of new construction." However, the original drawings that the project department finally got are quite different from the situation on the spot. When dismantling and renovating, the water pipes are easily broken, and then a series of prescribed actions such as climbing pipes, finding water valves and solving water leakage are followed.

"Water pipe is to say, wire? This is a matter involving life safety. " Next, the project department scans the original building in three dimensions, generates a model, and uses the point cloud file to make the floor plan of each floor to guide the reconstruction construction. Bao Zhiwei, the project leader of the General Contracting Company of the Eighth Bureau, introduced it.

Welcome corridor of "Danguan Feiyu"

Use ingenuity in every corner.

"This is a window for China to show its elegance to the world, and we know that it is a great responsibility," said Chai Daoqi, the decoration project manager of the BRICS site project of China Construction Eighth Bureau. "In the decoration process, we apply ingenuity to every corner."

There is a welcoming corridor on the east and west sides of Xiamen International Conference Center, which is the "facade" of the whole venue and the place where leaders from all countries step into the venue. The promenade is named "Danguan Feiyu" and is composed of 48 zigzag copper beams. It is unique in shape and magnificent in momentum.

The "Ji" shape has a steel frame structure inside, and the copper plate is wrapped outside. "In order to ensure the accurate positioning and welding of the copper plate, the project department has carried out numerous pay-off measurements to correct the deviation, and the final structural deviation is controlled within 2 mm, which is much higher than the design standard." Chai Daoqi said.

The historical Maritime Silk Road has created a unique Haisi culture in Fujian. After passing through the welcome corridor and entering the entrance lobby, six special-shaped stone pillars come into view. The hyperbolic shape of cylindrical stone and the curved carved aluminum plate of bamboo joint on the ceiling extend each other, demonstrating the openness and tolerance of China under the "Belt and Road" initiative.

However, due to the complicated connection between special-shaped and stone materials, the project will weld the special-shaped steel frame according to the construction nodes, and continuously check the construction accuracy in the process. At the same time, in order to pursue the most perfect visual effect, they have made fine adjustments from material types, color matching, texture effect to grain direction.

We must not only ensure the grain of the cylinder, but also ensure the harmony and unity with the grain of the ground. "At that time, like obsessive-compulsive disorder, we laid 342 arc-shaped boards on the ground for pre-typesetting, but there were no flaws, no lines, and no color difference." Material engineer Wang Yufeng said. However, it is also their "obsessive-compulsive disorder" that has made the amazing scene of the integration of sea and sky in the entrance lobby.

Five-petal ceiling lantern with a diameter of 9.3m in the main conference room.

The large-scale conference room of the five countries is the most important place of the BRICS Summit. The five-petal ceiling lantern directly above is very eye-catching, with a diameter of 9.3 meters and a weight of only 180 kilograms. Sun Yinbo, a decoration engineer, explained, "The lampshade uses a new type of high-light-transmittance lightweight nano-carbon fiber board, which is very light and developed by beijing university of chemical technology, and has been applied to lamps for the first time in China."

Dehua porcelain, as one of the famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, has been made into works of art or daily necessities such as bottles, cans, cups and plates for thousands of years. On the main background wall of the conference room of the five countries, Dehua porcelain was made into the shape of the national flower of the BRICS countries and "pasted" on the wall. "We regard the famous porcelain of the Song Dynasty as’ tiles’ and we are the first people to eat crabs." Chai Daoqi said.

Since this is the first time, the project department is particularly cautious, sending special personnel to Dehua porcelain production site to inspect the local soil quality, inspect the manufacturer’s technology, and strictly stipulate the location and depth of Dehua porcelain mining soil. "The most important thing is that Dehua porcelain will shrink during the firing process. If it is not well controlled, it will be scrapped."

The decoration team of the First Company of China Construction Eighth Bureau conducted several firing tests. By controlling the temperature, humidity and temperature, the shrinkage rate of Dehua porcelain was determined, and the output rate and splicing accuracy of porcelain products were ensured.

"Dehua porcelain" on the wall

On the upper part of the wall around the conference room, there is a "colorful" copper plate. Red, blue, green, orange and yellow represent China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa and India respectively. In addition to color, this circle of copper plates has different patterns, creating a rich sense of hierarchy.

The project department repeatedly compared, confirmed and adjusted the "painted color, pattern and etched area of copper plate", and finally achieved the effect of "carving beams and painting buildings".

Even the slightest mistake can’t occur.

If the decoration project is compared to "clothes", then the installation is "blood vessels and nerves". "Now we can’t see the results of our work, but everything we do determines the function of the conference center."

Zhang Tao, the project electromechanical manager of the General Contracting Company of the Eighth Bureau of Construction, said, "The most important thing is that the complicated installation work has also encountered reconstruction projects."

The scene of sea-sky integration in the welcome hall

The pipelines of fire fighting, electric power and drainage systems in the old site need to be replaced because of the progress of the times. It is a headache to install pipelines with thick arms where one finger is thick. In addition, the installation space is too small to accommodate large equipment, so the project installation team can only manually explore the pipeline layout, measure and draw again and again, and the pipelines are finally arranged in an orderly way, laying a foundation for the normal operation of the whole building.

Zhang Tao knows that the reasonable arrangement of pipelines is only the first step. In this national conference project, the national normal installation standards are no longer applicable. If there is any-even the smallest mistake during the conference, the consequences will be "unbearable" for all participants.

In order to ensure the air, they adopt an air purification system with double purification functions of electrostatic dust removal and ultraviolet disinfection, and stand in the building without any peculiar smell.

In order to ensure power supply, they are equipped with high voltage from three substations and mobile diesel generators. Even if there is a power outage in Xiamen, the International Conference Center will operate normally.

In order to ensure the sound, according to the sound insulation requirements calculated by the acoustics experts, they have made a number of deepening treatments for sound insulation and sound absorption on the wall, and at the same time installed "silencers"-silencing sound boxes in the air-conditioning machine room and air-conditioning outlet, creating a real "pin drop sound" space.

After more than 180 days of day and night, the reconstruction project of Xiamen International Conference Center finally ended perfectly. Listening to the participants’ praise for the main venue building, Mao Dengwen, as the representative of the builder, was sweeter than drinking honey.

"What’s the next plan?" Without thinking, Mao Dengwen blurted out, "Go home and have a good sleep, and continue the new journey …"

　　Yesterday, a message that "Ali programmers were fired for taking advantage of loopholes to grab mooncakes" sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. It is understood that on September 12, Alibaba sold surplus moon cakes to employees at cost price through the intranet, and temporarily developed an internal booking page. Subsequently, four employees of the company’s security department wrote a program to "swipe the bill" and brushed 124 boxes of moon cakes, which was why they were dismissed.

　　Yesterday, regarding the dismissal of four people, Alibaba responded that the four employees’ actions "violated their job responsibilities and used tools to cheat" touched the red line of integrity. At present, all four employees involved have left their jobs.

　　After the incident, a self-proclaimed employee’s account posted that he was somewhat "blind" after experiencing this incident. The employee said that after the "spike" mooncake activity started on the afternoon of the 12th, he clicked on the page and found that he couldn’t grab it, so he "wrote a js (scripting language running on the browser)" to participate in the "brushing".

　　The employee explained in the post that the function of this code is: if the button becomes "spike", it will be crazy, and then (use the program) to process the verification code. In the end, the employee used the program to rob 16 items, but he found that these items were not paid. Subsequently, the employee called the company’s administrative department in the hope of returning the order. But what made him "unprepared" was that in the afternoon, the relevant departments of the company "interviewed" several employees involved and proposed to cancel the contract.

　　After the incident was exposed, many netizens discussed it. Some people say that it is inappropriate for the employees involved to use the procedure to "swipe the bill", while others think that whether the company dismisses employees in this way violates the relevant provisions of the labor law.

　　On the afternoon of the 13th, Alibaba Company responded to the "moon cake spike incident in the intranet", saying that due to welfare considerations, the company’s administrative department decided to sell a few surplus moon cakes to employees at cost price through the intranet, and temporarily developed an internal reservation page.

　　According to the response, during the domestic sales of moon cakes, the company found that four staff members "cheated by technical means and brushed 124 boxes of moon cakes in total", and then the company made a "decision to ask them (the employees involved) to leave the company".

　　Regarding the reasons for dismissal, the response stated that "the employees of the Ministry of Security, as defenders of the platform rules, violated their job responsibilities and used tools to cheat, which touched the red line of integrity."

　　In this regard, lawyer Han Xiao of Beijing Kangda Law Firm said, "Honesty or not is not the basis for the employer to unilaterally terminate the labor contract as stipulated in the relevant laws and regulations of the labor law." Han Xiao added that Article 39 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that if a worker seriously violates the rules and regulations of the employer, the employer may terminate the labor contract. But in this case, whether the programmer’s behavior is a serious violation of the rules and regulations of the employer depends on how the company’s internal rules and regulations are stipulated.

　　"If the employee’s breach of integrity is clearly defined as a serious violation of discipline, the company can dismiss several employees involved according to internal regulations and relevant provisions of the labor law. On the other hand, if the company does not stipulate whether the employee’s breach of integrity is a serious violation of discipline, the company’s unilateral termination of the labor contract violates the relevant provisions of the labor law and is an illegal termination of the labor contract. " Han Xiao added.

　　It is understood that the four employees currently involved have terminated their labor contracts with the company, and the resignation procedures have been completed.
