  "Cloud Office", "Cloud Learning", "Cloud Shopping", "Cloud Appreciation of Spring" and "Cloud Variety" … … Recently, various online activities have enriched people’s home life, brought people new experiences and opened up more possibilities for future life. What "cloud life" projects have you experienced recently?

  Last week, the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Newspaper conducted a survey on 3,004 respondents, which showed that "working in the cloud", "learning in the cloud", "buying vegetables in the cloud" and "enjoying spring in the cloud" were several cloud life projects that people experienced more, and 86.8% of the respondents felt that their recent "cloud life" was more fulfilling than before. 68.1% of the respondents believe that "cloud life" has enhanced people’s confidence in fighting the epidemic, and 65.9% of the respondents believe that it will accelerate people’s consumption habits from offline to online.

  86.8% of the respondents feel that their recent "cloud life" is more fulfilling than before.

  Zhang Yuxuan (pseudonym) works in a public institution in Beijing. She usually likes to visit scenic spots, but she has not been able to go out to play since the outbreak. "Recently, many scenic spots have opened panoramic online tour services. Two days ago, I watched the live broadcast of Longmen Grottoes in Henan Province. I had a professional tour guide to explain it in detail, and I could also answer questions online. The experience was very good. "

  "At the worst of the epidemic, my husband and I were worried that there were too many people going to the supermarket to shop. Every night, we would place an order to buy ingredients on the e-commerce platform and deliver them early the next morning. Once we really wanted to eat hot pot, and the restaurant didn’t open, so we went from the bottom of the pot to fresh food, on the e-commerce platform ‘ One-stop ’ Buy everything. I ate it at noon the next day, full of happiness. " Zhang Yuxi said.

  23-year-old Cheng Yunyun (pseudonym) has just started working. Recently, he has been cooking and eating alone, and he feels a little bored. Since the outbreak, he has often "cloud cooking" and "cloud gathering" with his friends. "Everyone is chatting and eating at the same time, which is very lively."

  In the survey, 86.8% of the respondents felt that the recent "cloud life" was more substantial than before.

  Cloud Office (57.8%), Cloud Enjoying Spring (53.4%) and Cloud Learning (52.5%) are several cloud life projects that people experience more. Others include: Cloud Shopping (41.3%), Cloud Variety Show (38.2%), Cloud Travel (21.2%) and Cloud Party (20.8%).

  Benson Liu (pseudonym) is an employee of a private enterprise in Beijing. Recently, the whole family is in a "cloud" mode: his daughter is studying in the cloud, and he and his lover are working in the cloud. "The company opened several times ‘ Cloud conference ’ . For the first time, everyone was not skilled in the operation and did not adapt to the online scene. Now, after adapting, the effect is good. ‘ Cloud office ’ During this period, I have only been to the company three times to deal with things that must be done offline, such as sending documents, signing and stamping. "

  "I used to go to the gym twice a week, and I couldn’t go to the gym during the period before and after the Spring Festival, which made me very uncomfortable. Now I watch online fitness videos every day to exercise, have enough time to exercise, and feel that my physical condition is better than before. " Jiang Qiming (a pseudonym), an employee of a public institution in Beijing, said that he bought dumbbells, elastic ropes and other convenient fitness equipment online.

  68.1% of the respondents believe that "cloud life" has enhanced people’s confidence in fighting the epidemic.

  Zhang Yuxuan feels that "cloud life" is convenient, fast, efficient and time-saving, "‘ Cloud shopping ’ It saves me time to visit the supermarket and the road. Just make a list and buy it directly on the platform. Because it is purchased nearby, it is basically delivered within one hour, and the experience is very good. "

  "Working from home can avoid commuting pressure, which is low-carbon and environmentally friendly." Benson Liu believes that "cloud office" reduces the commuting cost of employees and improves the efficiency of time utilization, which is very humanized.

  Cheng Yunyun said that the "cloud gathering" and "cloud variety show" during this period allowed her to live a full life without feeling lonely, and also deepened her feelings with her friends.

  According to the survey, the respondents’ main evaluations of "cloud life" are convenience (68.4%) and intelligence (60.0%), and others are: low carbon (47.0%), high efficiency (46.2%), economical (40.1%), rich and diverse (39.3%) and so on.

  Zhang Yuxuan said that "cloud life" didn’t make her feel monotonous and boring during her stay at home. "Eating food, shopping and visiting scenic spots didn’t delay, and she could enjoy the scenery across regions with one click. It was very interesting to visit several scenic spots in one day."

  "I used to feel that online office couldn’t match my work. This time I experienced a telecommuting. " Benson Liu said that in the past, he often worked overtime and spent less time with his family, so he couldn’t help his family. He felt very guilty about his wife. "During this time, I often did housework and walked with my family in the community, and my life was full of fireworks."

  "When the epidemic just broke out, the situation was more serious, and my heart was actually quite scared. Later, various ‘ Cloud life ’ Let me live a colorful life every day. ‘ Cloud supervisor ’ ‘ Cloud gathering ’ Let me feel that I am not alone, and I feel that the people of the whole country are together, United as one, and fighting the epidemic. " Cheng Yunyun said.

  What does "cloud life" bring to people? 68.1% of the respondents believe that the enriched "cloud life" has enhanced people’s confidence in fighting the epidemic, 57.4% of the respondents believe that it has created a new mode for family members to get along with each other, 53.2% of the respondents feel that it has added color to home life, and 51.2% of the respondents believe that it has broken through the space limitation and enriched people’s various experiences.

  Schumann, executive vice president of the Institute of Psychological Quality Education of East China Jiaotong University, believes that, first of all, "cloud life" can play a psychological support role. "In this epidemic, our usual life order was broken, ‘ Cloud life ’ Let people avoid becoming an island and can produce the same frequency resonance. This has played a role in preventing and controlling the epidemic ‘ A shot in the arm ’ The role of ". Secondly, "cloud life" makes people feel emotionally in control. "When individuals realize various demands and wishes, they will have a sense of autonomy in the surrounding environment and living conditions, which is very important for stabilizing emotions. At the same time, because ‘ Cloud life ’ Make people communicate, study and work as usual, and this sense of stability will promote psychological security. "

  56.6% of the respondents said that they would continue to "live in the cloud" when the epidemic passed.

  "If merchants and platforms continue to provide ‘ Cloud service ’ I will continue to try. " Zhang Yuxuan believes that "cloud life" has brought great changes to people’s lifestyles and consumption patterns. "In the past, online consumption was more popular among young people. Recently, more people are accepting and trying online consumption. Moreover, with the improvement of science and technology, online services will get better and better. "

  "Online office is suitable for more and more industries and jobs. During this period, more enterprises have tried ‘ Cloud office ’ I think it can provide new ideas for business operations in terms of office model innovation and resource allocation. " Benson Liu believes that online education with "cloud classroom" as the main form has attracted much attention recently, which has also opened up a new way for education.

  Cheng Yunyun feels that "cloud life" is very interesting, which can not only meet people’s needs of buying food, traveling, seeing a doctor and exercising, but also solve social needs, and has great potential.

  Will people continue to "live in the cloud" after the epidemic? 56.6% of the respondents indicated that they would continue to live in the cloud, and 20.2% of the respondents would not. The interactive analysis shows that the post-80s generation (62.4%) shows higher interest in continuing the "cloud life" in the future, while the post-00s group has the highest proportion of "no", accounting for 35.2%.

Sogou hardware completely exits, and there is no "small but beautiful" intelligent hardware?

Recently, sogou announced that due to business adjustment, sogou hardware products will officially stop service at 23: 59 on May 30, 2024.This indicates that sogou’s hardware products such as Sugar Cat Watch, Sugar Cat at Home, Sugar Cat Dictionary Pen, sogou Translate Pen and sogou Recording Pen will no longer provide any online services, technical support or maintenance services.In order to ensure the safety of users’ personal information, sogou promised to delete all users’ data safely after the service stopped, and reminded users to back up relevant data in time.

Since it was incorporated by Tencent, at least ten businesses of sogou have been shut down one after another, including sogou, sogou Reading, sogou Lending, sogou search App, sogou Map, sogou Game Center, sogou Internet Alliance and so on. With the adjustment of various businesses, many former sogou people who merged into Tencent’s non-core business departments mostly left after several rounds of business adjustment.

Hardware exits, and everything has a warning.

Intelligent hardware was once regarded by Wang Xiaochuan, then Sogou CEO, as the second growth curve of sogou except the combination of search+input method+browser. In his plan, the proportion of intelligent hardware in sogou’s overall revenue will reach 10%, but it did not reach this standard until sogou was acquired by Tencent.

Sogou’s last financial report before delisting showed that in the second quarter of 2021, sogou’s total revenue was US$ 147.5 million, of which search and search-related business revenue was US$ 137.2 million, down 43% year-on-year, accounting for 92%; The non-search revenue, including intelligent hardware, was $10.3 million, accounting for less than 10% of the revenue.

Although this part of the decline in revenue is mainly due to the company’s strategy of shrinking non-core business, sogou’s intelligent hardware is not without struggle. In fact, sogou’s intelligent hardware business also had its own highlight moments.

On December 8, 2014, sogou officially launched the company’s first intelligent hardware device-children’s smart watch "Sugar Cat", announcing the exploration of opening intelligent hardware business.At that time, it was the time when the intelligent hardware industry flourished. Sugar Cat, which was established only one year ago, achieved quite good results in the 618 promotion in 2015 and became the double champion of sales and reputation of children’s smart watches.

After that, sogou successively released intelligent hardware products such as dictionary pens, recording pens, translation treasures and translation pens. In 2018, JD.COM, a travel translator named sogou, was first put on the shelves, with sales exceeding 10 million, winning the first place in the same category in JD.COM; In 2020, the sogou recording pen S1, which was priced at over 3,000 yuan, was put on the first show live room in Tik Tok, Luo Yonghao, and gained 48 million cumulative viewers.

The above list is one of the few highlights of sogou’s intelligent hardware business. Since its development in 2014, sogou’s intelligent hardware business has occasionally improved, but the competitors of each subdivision track are too strong. At the children’s smart watch track, there are manufacturers focusing on children’s watches such as Little Genius and Abachi, as well as digital manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which have developed from smart watches across the border. In hardware tracks such as translation pens, dictionary pens and recording pens, there are also giants such as Iflytek, Netease Youdao, Alibaba and Baidu competing for competition.

Source: sogou

Taking dictionary pens as an example, as an important part of intelligent education hardware, it is difficult for sogou to cross the two mountains of Iflytek and Netease Youdao. According to the online monitoring data of RUNTO, in 2023, the retail volume of the online open retail market of dictionaries and pens in China (excluding e-commerce companies with content such as vibrato) was 3.626 million, and the sales volume reached 1.78 billion yuan.

Among them, Iflytek’s Alpha Egg and Netease ranked first and second respectively, accounting for 54% of the domestic market, while the TOP10 brands such as Aifen, Little Genius, samtwos and BBK only occupied single-digit market share, and sogou was directly reduced to Others.

Dictionary pens are only the epitome of sogou’s smart hardware business. After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that most of the products launched by sogou after joining the smart hardware track are aimed at specific people and specific businesses.It’s not that there is something wrong with the idea of choosing the track, but that compared with competing products, the products don’t show the advantage of continuously attracting the target group, and multi-line operations all face the same problem, so it’s not surprising that sogou’s hardware business ended up like this.

Sogou is lonely, with little business left.

Looking back on the development of sogou in the past 20 years, it left its own trace in the Internet PC era in China, and it had a history with Internet giants such as Sohu, Alibaba and Tencent.

In 2003, sogou engine was hatched in Sohu, but at this time, Baidu was firmly at the top of domestic search engines, leaving little room for sogou to play. Subsequently, the sogou input method gained a good reputation from users because of its convenient and accurate pinyin input and rich related vocabulary. According to public information, around 2010, the user utilization rate of sogou input method reached 79.7%, far ahead of other input methods, and this advantage was not surpassed by Baidu until 2020.

In this process, Wang Xiaochuan, the former CEO of sogou, put forward a three-stage rocket traffic conduction model of "input method-browser-search", which was once regarded as a classic business model by the search industry. like thatWith the advent of the mobile Internet era, the traffic portal has shifted, and the cross-application jump obstacles have made the information collection and integration ability that search engines are proud of fail. Sogou has also been gradually marginalized in a new wave, and the original search engine and input method have also withdrawn from the core competition circle.

Source: sogou

It can be said that since sogou announced the completion of the merger with Tencent on September 24th, 2021 and became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent, sogou, as the afterglow of the PC Internet era, can already foresee what will happen next. That is to say, the core business is integrated into Tencent, and the marginal business is gradually retired, which is particularly obvious in the peak period of Internet companies’ cost reduction and efficiency increase, and the unprofitable business is ushered in a large-scale contraction.

After sogou shut down the intelligent hardware business across the board, there are not many business lines in sogou that we can see on the bright side. Maybe sogou Input Method will leave quietly one day.By then, we can only find traces of sogou’s existence in Tencent products that have been integrated into sogou business, such as WeChat Watch and Search.

The strong are always strong, and there is no "small but beautiful" in intelligent hardware.

While remembering, we still have to face up to the fact that sogou quit the hardware business, and what the rest of the players in the intelligent hardware track should do to live longer.

In sogou’s intelligent hardware subdivision track, Xiao Lei saw a common trend: the strong will always be strong.A small number of head brands occupy the vast majority of the market share. Only when emerging brands stand out in the brutal market competition can they survive on the track, which is more obvious in the fields of educational hardware such as children’s smart watches, dictionary pens and learning tablets.

 

Source: Counterpoint

However, the closure of sogou’s hardware business is attributed to many reasons. First of all, the smart hardware market is fiercely competitive, and emerging brands and new technologies are constantly emerging, which makes sogou’s smart hardware products face challenges in function and innovation. When innovation can’t keep up with the market demand, consumers will naturally choose products of other brands, which can be intuitively reflected from the sales situation.

Secondly, the functions of smart phones are becoming more and more powerful, and many functions that can only be enjoyed by hardware products are integrated into smart phones, which makes it difficult for a single function of hardware products to meet the market demand. Only when hardware products adapt to market changes and user needs in time and create more professional functions can they attract target groups.

In addition, the maintenance and update of hardware products need continuous investment. Most of sogou’s revenue comes from search business, so it is obviously unrealistic to ask it to invest in intelligent hardware business that doesn’t make much money regardless of the cost. Later, we also saw that sogou made business adjustments based on cost and strategic considerations.

In the intelligent hardware market, small brands often face more severe challenges than big manufacturers. The closure of hardware services in sogou reflects the shortage of small brands in technology, capital and market competitiveness.

In the rapidly developing science and technology industry, continuous technological innovation is the key to the survival and development of enterprises. Large factories usually have strong R&D teams and abundant technology accumulation, which can quickly respond to market changes and launch innovative products. In contrast, small brands have limited investment in technology research and development, and it is difficult to keep up with the technological progress of the industry, resulting in products gradually falling behind in function and performance.

Source: small degree

With the advantages of scale and good profitability, large factories can invest more resources in product development and market expansion. However, small brands often have limited funds and cannot afford high R&D and marketing expenses, which limits their development space to some extent.

However, this does not mean that small brands have no room for survival and development. In Xiaolei’s view, accurate market positioning and technological innovation with memory points are the few opportunities for small brands to find a foothold in the intelligent hardware market.

Specific to products, children’s smart watches do not have high requirements for entertainment functions. It is the real demand of parents for children’s smart watches to create various learning functions, more convenient instant messaging, similar positioning and other security functions around educational scenes. Dictionary pens need to be innovated in translation accuracy and ease of use. Supporting more languages and accurate translation are only entry standards, and what really separates the products is the use experience for different scenes. The recording pen may strengthen the integration with cloud services to provide more efficient recording and information management solutions.

Although many sub-tracks of intelligent hardware products have different development trends, from the general perspective, versatility, intelligence and scene are the directions that every track needs to pay attention to. Netease Youdao, Baidu Xiaodu, Iflytek and other brands have begun the deep integration of AI+ products/applications. The products and applications such as Xiaodu learning machine Z30 and AI general learning assistant "Youdao Xiaop" APP have derived new usage scenarios and capabilities with the help of AI technology, such as AI assistant with smarter interaction, AI learning and other functions.

Just as the mobile phone, computer, TV and other industries have experienced, the intelligent hardware industry will eventually usher in the AI process of each subdivided track. Lei believes that this is also the general trend of intelligent hardware development in the future.

From May 20th to June 30th, 2024, in the year of 618, the Great Promotion struck, and the six major e-commerce platforms, Taobao Tmall, JD.COM, Pinduoduo, Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and Xiaohongshu, collectively "listened to persuasion", canceled pre-sale and frantically bargained!

Popular AI hard technology categories such as mobile phone digital, AI PC, smart home appliances, TV, small household appliances and air ice washing are gearing up, and the situation is fierce.

Lei Technology 618 Reporting Group will pay attention to the latest situation of e-commerce platform, the latest trends of AI hard technology brands and the new trends of e-commerce industry, so stay tuned and look forward to it together.

Report on the layout of insurance enterprises and the development of pension industry in China

Author Wu Shixue

Edited by Wu Shixue and Michelle ChenMiao

Opening:

On December 4, 2019, the first "China Kangyang 30 People" Forum was held. Gao Jianguang, director of the Capital Utilization Supervision Department of the Insurance Company of the Ministry of Finance of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China, revealed that by the end of September this year, 10 insurance institutions including China Life Insurance, Taikang Life Insurance and Taiping Life Insurance had invested in 47 community projects for the aged, which were distributed in 20 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Anhui, with a total bed size.

At the same time, the total amount of insurance funds invested in private equity investment funds in the upstream and downstream medical and health industries of pension and pension industries has reached 234.782 billion yuan.

According to the Report on the Development Model and Practice of Long-term Care Insurance in China issued by CPIC Allianz, it is estimated that the market size of China’s pension real estate will reach 7.7 trillion yuan in 2020 and 22.3 trillion yuan in 2030.

Three large insurance companies: China Ping An, China Taiping and Taikang Insurance invested more than 41 billion yuan in the field of pension real estate. Insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Sunshine Life Insurance, Hezhong Life Insurance, Qianhai Life Insurance, Evergrande Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and Renhe Life Insurance have also announced or substantially intervened in the investment in the old-age community, and the total investment and planned investment has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

It can be seen that since 2006, insurance companies represented by Hezhong and Taikang entered the pension industry, the natural complementary gene of insurance+pension has been fully verified, and the insurance department has become one of the important forces participating in the investment+operation of the pension industry, and more innovative models will be born in the future.

This time, AgeLifePro will systematically review the motivation, participation mode, development process and future trend of insurance companies participating in the pension industry, hoping to bring some valuable reference to the pension industry.

Why do insurance companies have laid out their pensions one after another?

one

policy support

The policy has experienced a progressive process from caution, to liberalization, and then to rational regulation. In 2009, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Measures for Insurance Investment in Real Estate and the Measures for Insurance Investment in Equity, which allowed insurance companies to invest in real estate and corporate equity, thus opening the prelude to policies to encourage insurance companies to enter the pension industry.

On November 19th, 2009, with the support of policies, China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Notice on Filing Taikang-Pension Community Equity Investment Plan, and approved Taikang to set up a pension community. In 2010, Taikang House was established, which indicated that the policy of insurance investment for the aged really landed.

Figure: Measures for the Administration of the Use of Insurance Funds

After the insurance companies have invested heavily in assets, the policies have become more rational and perfect. On January 24, 2018, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Administrative Measures for the Use of Insurance Funds (the "Measures for the Use of New Insurance Funds"). The new measures have two new principles: First, the use of insurance funds must be aimed at serving the insurance industry (that is, the well-known "insurance surname"), and second, the use of insurance funds should adhere to independent operation and not be interfered by shareholders in violation of regulations.

In addition, the new measures for the use of insurance funds and the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Insurance Industry in China issued by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission also mentioned that insurance funds should be allowed to invest in asset securitization products, broaden the service fields of insurance funds, and innovate the use methods of insurance funds (encouraging the establishment of professional insurance asset management institutions such as real estate, infrastructure and pension, and allowing professional insurance asset management institutions to set up mezzanine funds, merger and acquisition funds, real estate funds, etc.).

Focus on the development of insurance companies themselves

1. Investing in heavy assets for the aged can improve the solvency of insurance companies.

In the early days of insurance companies entering the pension industry, the investment speed of insurance companies is very fast. By investing in the pension community, we can evaluate and increase the value, create income on the books and improve the solvency. However, it is worth mentioning that after 2017, due to the control of the proportion and solvency of large-scale assets by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the feast of evaluating and increasing the value of insurance companies’ investment in pension communities will no longer be available, and insurance companies will no longer be able to obtain solvency, but will be discounted accordingly.

2. It is conducive to alleviating the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

There are abundant insurance funds and a large number of investable assets, but at present, the funds mainly enter short-term investment channels such as bank deposits and government bonds, and the investment channels are relatively single, resulting in a mismatch in the maturity of assets and liabilities. As a comprehensive service industry, providing for the aged needs a certain amount of time to settle the service. Considering the long construction period of the old-age community and apartments for the elderly, it also needs a long-term and stable source of funds. Matching the two can alleviate the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

3. Promote policy sales.

Figure: Policy sales of listed companies docking with pension communities

The expiration and renewal of commercial insurance has always affected the stable operation of insurance companies. Insurance companies link insurance products with pension services and pension real estate membership, which can increase the attractiveness of insurance products, form differentiated competition, provide customers with more choices, improve customer stickiness and promote policy sales.

According to the survey of 21st century business herald, in 2019, CPIC issued 7,906 qualification letters for the elderly community; The occupancy qualification of Taiping Pension Community Project drove the initial premium of about HK$ 5.6 billion, and the contribution rate of the initial premium reached 18.8%, which became an important contribution force for Taiping’s life insurance companies to promote the growth of new orders.

4. Extend the industrial chain

The rapid development of the old-age care industry has spawned more and more formats. In addition to large-scale old-age care communities with heavy assets, there are also various lightweight service projects covering all aspects of the lives of the elderly. The distribution of insurance funds for the aged can deepen the existing life insurance customers, create services for the elderly around the whole life cycle, link up with engineering insurance, and link down with medical insurance, nursing insurance, endowment insurance, door-to-door service, etc., and then drive the overall development of the company and provide the comprehensive income of the company.

part2

Six innovative modes of insurance enterprises participating in pension industry

one

Real estate investment model based on old-age community

Since Taikang Home built a large-scale community for the aged (CCRC) on a large scale, this model has also become the "correct" idea for insurance companies to intervene in the elderly. This model is based on real estate, and only with the right to use or property rights of real estate can we get the corresponding pension services.

This investment model attaches great importance to asset layout, which can give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance companies and integrate development, investment and operation. At the initial stage of entering the pension industry, it was favored by some head insurance companies.

Under the old-age real estate model, the elderly can live in by paying a deposit and a monthly fee, or they can become members, or they can buy relevant insurance products to lock in the right to live in the old-age community in advance. Union Life’s insurance policy+physical endowment insurance plan, Taikang’s "Happiness with a Contract" insurance product innovatively links virtual insurance products with physical communities.

While Taikang, Taiping and China Life successively built large-scale old-age care communities and sold the right to use them, Ping An Real Estate Co., Ltd. also launched the first old-age care project that can sell property rights in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province.

In addition to the typical CCRC product types, everyone insurance cooperates with BTG to build an urban pension complex by means of light asset leasing; New China Life Insurance transformed its office building into an apartment for the elderly and a rehabilitation hospital, which means that insurance companies have begun to cover the "urban institutional pension scene".

2

The service mode of going deep into the scene of community home-based care for the aged.

This model mainly provides old-age services for the elderly at home in the community. Insurance companies take advantage of their abundant policy information to provide corresponding intermediary services and charge relevant intermediary fees. This model has a good development prospect in the future under the overall situation that community homes occupy the mainstream of old-age care in China.

Because insurance companies only appear as service intermediaries or traffic platforms in this mode, the investment is light, and large, medium and small insurance companies can participate.

Photo: Love Life "Love+Home Care Service Plan"

Love Life launched the industry’s first "Love+Home Care Product Plan" and became a leading explorer in the field of home care. This product includes a complete set of home care service system and builds an efficient service platform. Combining medical care with nursing care, through the "1+N" consulting professional service, we can solve the comprehensive needs of medical care, pension, nursing and rehabilitation in one stop.

In the early days of entering the old-age care industry, Taikang also took community home-based care for the elderly as the entry point. In January 2008, Taikang Home Wangjing Senior Club officially opened, but this exploration was unsuccessful, which eventually prompted Taikang to choose the heavy asset CCRC model.

three

Establish a professional endowment insurance institution

Since the establishment of the first pension insurance company in December 2004, there are currently nine professional pension insurance institutions in China, namely, caring for the elderly, China Life Pension, Taiping Pension, Yangtze Pension, Taikang Pension, Ping ‘an Pension, Xinhua Pension, Everyone Pension and Hengan Standard Pension, all of which were initiated by medium and large insurance groups.

The core business of pension insurance companies can be divided into trust-based asset management business and contractual commercial insurance business. Trust-based asset management business mainly includes enterprise annuity, occupational annuity, pension products, old-age security management products and third-party asset management business (issuing insurance asset management products and conducting fund management in special accounts of third-party institutions). Contractual commercial insurance business mainly includes health insurance, accident insurance and pension insurance. The specific business situation varies depending on the business development path of each insurance company.

four

Innovation of financial products for the aged

Figure: China’s three-pillar pension system

This model fits the insurance company’s industry. On the one hand, insurance companies can enrich the supply of commercial endowment insurance products and meet the differentiated endowment insurance needs of customers. Support qualified commercial insurance institutions to actively participate in personal tax deferred commercial pension annuity insurance and innovate housing reverse mortgage pension model. Happiness Life Insurance and People’s Life Insurance both operate reverse mortgage insurance business for personal housing pension.

On the other hand, participate in long-term care insurance. At present, the policy is vigorously encouraging commercial insurance to enter the field of nursing insurance. With the gradual expansion of the pilot scope of the long-term care insurance system, commercial insurance companies can play more roles in the future, and work with the government, individuals and other relevant parties to open up the payment system and promote the development of community embedded institutions. Taikang, China Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance all participated in or calculated to participate in the field of long-term insurance.

five

Construct an ecological circle of insurance+medical care+pension

In this mode, insurance companies often pay attention to medical investment, and give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance, medical care and service from both online and online perspectives, so as to build a service ecosystem and realize the closed-loop business of B2B2C, in which pension is an important part.

Similarly, one of the important directions of CPIC Pension Transformation 2.0 is to build an "insurance+health+pension" ecosystem. Among them, "Pacific Insurance Blueprint" medical service, "Pacific Insurance Wonderful Health" health interaction plan and "CWI Health Examination Center" constitute the "insurance+health" ecosystem; Through its life insurance companies, pension investment companies, Yangtze River pension, and cooperation with Pacific Oubaoting and third-party service providers, it constitutes an "insurance+pension" ecosystem. These two ecological circles can cooperate with the main insurance industry and realize ecological integration.

Sunshine Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance respectively invested in the establishment of Sunshine Fusion Hospital and Guangzhou General Hospital of Qianhai Life Insurance, believing that there will be a further layout in building a healthy ecosystem in the future.

Underwriting comprehensive liability insurance for pension institutions

The daily operation of old-age care institutions will face various risks, and building a sound risk prevention and control system has become an important part of the smooth operation of old-age care institutions. Especially for some large-scale old-age care institutions, asking professional insurance companies to design relevant risk protection products can effectively avoid losses and prevent accidents.

According to the Notice of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau on Relevant Matters Concerning the Implementation of Comprehensive Liability Insurance for Aged Services (J.M.F.F. [2012] No.424), in September 2012, People’s Insurance Company, Ping ‘an Company and China Life Company became comprehensive liability insurance underwriting companies for aged services in Beijing through government bidding.

Review of the course of insurance enterprises building old-age community

2006-2012: Reference and Exploration Stage

Taikang, Hezhong, China Life Insurance and other insurance companies have visited the United States and Japan to inspect the operation experience of mature old-age communities and explore the construction and operation methods of old-age communities. In November 2009, Taikang Life Insurance took the lead in obtaining the permission of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission to obtain the pilot qualification of investing in the old-age community.

2012-2015: Initial stage of construction

The idea of insurance companies investing in the old-age community has become clear, and the old-age communities invested by insurance companies such as Taikang, Xinhua, Hezhong, Ping An and Taiping have been opened one after another.

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for "Taikang House-Yanyuan";

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for Xinhua Life Insurance "Xinhua Home" in Beijing;

In September 2012, the "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" invested by Ping An Life Insurance Company of China landed in Tongxiang, Zhejiang;

In October 2013, Hezhong Life Insurance established the first insurance pension community in China-"Wuhan Hezhong Younian Life Pension Community";

In October 2014, the foundation stone of "Wutong Family" of Taiping Life Insurance was laid in Shanghai …

2015-present: accelerate the layout stage

Insurance companies have accelerated the layout, more insurance companies have joined, and they have participated in the old-age care in different cities across the country in two ways: heavy assets and light assets.

By 2020, Taikang has laid out key provinces and cities in China, covering 22 cities in the core areas such as Beijing-Tianjin Wing, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Southwest China and Central China, among which 7 communities have opened, forming a chain operation trend in the east, west, north and south of the country;

China Life has the layout of Guoshou Jiayuan Yunjing (Beijing), Yijing (Tianjin), Lejing (Tianjin) and Yajing (Suzhou), and it also has two home-based retirement projects: Guoshou Kang Xin Community Yikang Home and Guoshou Fubao Community Yikang Home.

Taiping Life Insurance’s old-age community, Shanghai Taiping Wutong Family and Taiping Town Haitang Family, has now opened. In addition, Taiping cooperation projects include Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yifang Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, and Beijing Contemporary Time;

The layout of China Pacific Insurance includes Chengdu International Support Community, Hangzhou International Support Community and Dali International Music Support Community. These three projects have all started, but they have not yet opened …

In addition, insurance companies such as Junkang Life Insurance, Tongfang Global Life Insurance, China Insurance, PICC Life Insurance and Guohua Life Insurance also began to provide for the elderly through investment or cooperation during this period.

2

The insurance companies formally laid out the time point for providing for the aged.

Judging from the time when the insurance companies formally laid out the old-age pension, most of the insurance companies that entered the old-age pension in the early days were large-scale insurance companies, and most of them laid out heavy assets. With the development of time, more and more small and medium-sized insurance companies are also involved in the cause of providing for the aged, and the old-age projects under construction have also changed from CCRC to apartments for the elderly to community home services. In addition, the way insurance companies participate in providing for the aged is more flexible and diverse.

part4

The echelon and location layout of insurance companies to develop old-age care

one

Layout of the four major insurance company echelons for the aged

Looking at the layout of these insurance companies, we can find that they have shown four echelons:

The first echelon is Taikang, Taibao and China Life, which have a clear style of play. Investing in the community for the aged with heavy assets has achieved remarkable results, insisting on the initial intention to continue the national layout, and attaching importance to the combination of medical care and rehabilitation nursing resources allocation.

The second echelon is Taiping and Hezhong. From the original intention to build their own old-age communities in many cities, they finally chose to change from heavy to light, and retreat to advance by means of equity cooperation and acquisition of nursing homes, which can not only reduce the "heavy", but also cut into the key areas of the old-age industrial chain and play an important role in the old-age market in the future.

The third echelon, represented by Xinhua and Ping ‘an, has long been laying out the old-age care and has certain strategic plans, but it is in a state of shallow taste and cautious wait-and-see for the development of old-age real estate.

The fourth echelon is represented by less well-known insurance companies such as Happiness Life Insurance, China Insurance, Love Life Insurance, Guohua Life Insurance, etc. Its mode of developing old-age care is extremely light, and it is innovating and exploring in a certain field. At present, it is mostly in the initial stage of old-age care.

The layout of insurance enterprises and the national and urban layout of providing for the aged

 

1. National layout

From the nationwide layout, Taikang Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, China Life Insurance and Hezhong Life Insurance are all based on the whole country, mainly CCRC.

Among them, Taikang Life Insurance has formed a nationwide chain layout, linking 22 cities, with the earliest and most perfect layout.

At present, the community under China Pacific Insurance is still in the process of preparation, which is firmly carried out in accordance with the layout of "East-West Progress, North-South Echo, National Layout and All-Age Chain", and has formed a trinity product system of "suburban support (middle-aged elderly people aged 70-79), living and enjoying (young elderly people aged 50-69) and urban support (over 80)".

China Life has implemented the "three points and one line, evergreen all the year round" pension industry layout, and some of its pension projects are still slowly advancing.

From the beginning, Union Life planned to deploy in second-tier cities nationwide, and finally contracted its strategy. At present, its main projects are located in Wuhan, Shenyang and Nanning, and some private nursing homes have been acquired in the Yangtze River Delta.

Different from the national layout of the above four insurance companies, Taiping Life Insurance has established itself in the Yangtze River Delta, and gradually cooperated with neighboring projects such as Ningbo and even the whole country, such as Dalian, Kunming and Shenzhen, from Shanghai to the whole country. Shouhou Everyone, New China Life Insurance and Sunshine Insurance occupy the layout of pension projects in Beijing. Qianhai Life Insurance started from Shenzhen, and will have strategies in Xi ‘an, Nanning, Chengdu and Hainan in the future.

Photo: Everyone’s insurance travel series

Considering the development of the residence market, cities such as Sanya, Dalian, Kunming and Hangzhou are also favored by insurance companies. Insurance companies such as Taikang, Taiping and Hezhong, which have laid out national pension projects, can develop their residence business with the help of pension projects laid out in cities across the country. There are also some insurance companies that have plans to lay out their travel business, such as the travel series products that everyone intends to develop.

2. Urban location layout

In terms of urban location layout, from June 2012, when the foundation stone was laid for Yanyuan, the first old-age care community in Taikang, Beijing, insurance institutions started to build large-scale high-quality old-age care communities in the suburbs, entered the urban areas, and successively laid out some high-quality old-age care institutions. At present, insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, and Everyone Insurance have all set up pension institutions in urban areas, thus forming a "urban+suburban" product line with full coverage.

According to Litwak, an American scholar, proper service provision for the elderly needs to go through three stages: when the health of the elderly is good, it is most beneficial to live in a community with homogeneous age; When the elderly are disabled, it is most beneficial to live in an age-homogeneous community near their children’s residence; When the degree of disability of the elderly develops to the point where they need 24-hour care, living in a nursing home is the most beneficial.

In the early days, Taikang Insurance, China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Taiping Life Insurance, China Ping An, Hezhong Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and other large and medium-sized insurance institutions laid out large-scale pension communities in the suburbs as standard. Nowadays, more and more insurance institutions have laid out pension communities in urban areas, such as:

The scheme of "one city chain 1+1" designed by Taibao Jiayuan. That is, the younger elderly can live in the Dongtan Retirement Center of Taibao Home in Chongming for a short time; Middle-aged self-care elders can live in Dongtan Retirement Center for a long time; The elderly with disabilities can be referred to Putuo Kangyang Community through the internal passage of Taibao Home to receive professional care services combining medical care and nursing, and to facilitate relatives to visit nearby;

Everyone’s insurance officer announced the layout mode of "providing for the aged in the heart of the city". At present, there are three old-age care communities located in the urban area of Beijing. In the future, we will start with light assets and lay out high-quality old-age care communities in the core area of the city, which are close to medical care, children and fireworks. "Close to the top three hospitals" will be the primary consideration for the location of old-age care communities;

New China Life Insurance transformed the office building of Liuliqiao in Beijing West Third Ring Road into a high-end nursing home with rehabilitation hospital;

China Life piloted the "Yikang Home of China Life Fubao Community" in Shenzhen.

Prospect of the future trend of insurance+pension

Stones from Other Mountains —— American Experience

Figure: Classification of old-age communities according to different service types.

According to the experience of the United States, according to the different clients, the community for the aged can be divided into six types: active elderly community (AAC), independent living community (IL), assisted living community (AL), professional nursing community (SNF), memory nursing community (MC) and continuous care community (CCRC). It can be seen that with the gradual decline of the self-care ability of the elderly, the types of services they need are more and more professional, and the requirements for the residential community are getting higher and higher, especially the ability of professional care and medical treatment.

Figure: American pension real estate operation mode

American pension real estate involves investors, developers and operators, who form a complete market-oriented system of financing, construction and operation. Among them, the project manager is separated from the holder. The mainstream investor is Real Estate Trust Fund (REITs), which is responsible for raising funds for the development and operation of the project. Developers are responsible for planning and developing pension real estate projects, and operators operate and manage well-developed projects.

Operators adopt two ways for the project. One is the net lease mode, in which REITs companies rent the property to operators, and the operators charge a fixed rental fee every year, and the operators bear the direct operating expenses, community maintenance fees, taxes, insurance fees, etc. The second is the entrusted management mode, in which REITs entrusts its properties to operators, and the operating costs and income are attributed to REITs.

In addition to REITs model, American pension communities can be divided into two different types according to the developer-led or operator-led: one is the developer-led Sun City model, which is aimed at active health of the elderly aged 55-70 and led by real estate developers, and can recover investment and generate profits through the sale of pension concept houses; The second is the CCRC model led by operators, which takes the form of renting to serve three types of elderly people: self-care, intermediary assistance and intermediary care, and only provides real estate lease rights and service enjoyment rights.

Excerpt from "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report"

According to the "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report" published by SHN, in 2020, Private equity, public REITs(Private REITs, Institional institutions, etc. are all buyers of housing for the elderly.

At the same time, the financing sources of American housing for the elderly have expanded, and both Private equity and Bank/Finance company have played a great role in the financing of housing for the elderly.

Five Future Trends of Insurance Companies’ Pension Development

Compared with the experience of American pension housing, it is found that the development, investment and operation of China’s pension market are still not very mature. In the past few years, the entry of some large insurance companies and real estate companies has promoted the rapid development of the pension market, but various market participants have not formed a clear division of roles, and many enterprises are integrating investment, development and operation. Until these years, this situation has changed, and there have been more cases of division of labor and cooperation based on their respective professional fields.

Photo: Taiping Life Insurance official website-Taiping Enjoy Home

For example, Taiping Life Insurance has only built Shanghai Wutong Family and the newly opened Sanya Begonia Family. The rest of the projects, such as Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, Beijing Contemporary Time Li, Suzhou Hecheng and Hangzhou Langhe International Medical Center, are all strategic cooperation projects.

In 2017, Taiping Life joined hands with a third-party organization to launch Taiping Life’s community brand-Taiping Lexiangjia. According to the plan, in the future, at least 16 cities across the country will match the resources of Taiping Lexiang Family Pension Community. Under the unified brand management, all communities in Taiping Lexiangjia carry out standardized management and formulate reasonable and consistent marketing, check-in and check-out procedures. At the same time, the community can also jointly carry out residence business.

In addition, the designated cooperative units of Taiping Life Insurance’s pension service experience include: Yuenianhua Support Center (Shenzhen), Runhua Songhe Support Center (Shenzhen) and Zangmashan Support Community (Qingdao). This mode of cooperation can further make up for the shortcomings of insurance companies in the urban distribution, scale, type and location of pension projects, and provide customers with more choices.

Take China Life as an example. At present, China Life’s community project for the aged is progressing relatively slowly, but it has made some efforts in the field of community home. On December 29th, 2020, the first comprehensive community service center for the aged in Yantian District, which was jointly established by Yantian District Government and China Life Insurance, officially opened. So far, China Life’s community home-based care projects have included: Yikang Home in Fubao Community, Yikang Home in Kang Xin Community, Yuexiang Center in Yantian District, and Youxiangjia Health Care Center in Luohu District under construction.

In addition, Bohai Life Insurance, Tianjin Daji Development Co., Ltd. and Beijing Yangzheng Investment signed a strategic cooperation on the "Home-based Care for the Aged" project in China Jihai Shipping City, Tianjin.

According to the development of the old-age community over the years, zhang yi, vice president of Junkang Life Insurance and general manager of the Health Industry Division, summed up these stages:

Among them, in the "1.0" stage, the property of real estate is stronger, and the procedure is usually in the form of property rights sales of real estate developers and basic old-age services provided by third parties;

The "2.0" stage is a relatively mainstream format with the concept of CCRC in the current market, that is, providing relatively standardized high-quality catering, medical care, care and entertainment services for the elderly in large communities;

In the future "3.0" stage, it will become a trend to realize customization and meet individual needs through science and technology. Specifically, through data mining and intelligent analysis, we can build intelligent systems including smart home, face recognition, mobile housekeeper, vital signs detection, cloud health detection, telemedicine, etc., and provide high-quality and personalized health services and living environment for the elderly through big data analysis.

Figure: Maimai Smart Pension Solution

Therefore, in the future, smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale, and insurance companies should also be prepared for this.

On the other hand, insurance companies can also introduce some innovative practices from the main business of insurance, and provide feasible reference ideas for the innovative development of insurance and finance.

Zhu Junsheng, a researcher at the China Insurance and Pension Research Center of Tsinghua University Wudaokou Finance College, said in an interview: "With the increase of the aging population, people’s attention to risks is increasingly shifting from the risk of death to the risk of survival, and more and more attention is paid to old-age care and health … Commercial health insurance and old-age insurance can play a greater role in multi-level medical care and old-age security system."

Figure: Health insurance

As early as 2018, Ping An Insurance launched the first flagship product for the elderly group in its official APP Ping An Health: Ping An I Kangbao Geriatric Care (three-high version), which guarantees "accidental hospitalization+cancer hospitalization" and the insurance age is open to 70 years old, covering the three-high population of "hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia". And such insurance products for the elderly will be more and more.

All the above cases indicate that in the process of developing old-age care, insurance companies have formed five development trends:

1. Pay more and more attention to the direction of light assets, community home and inclusive old-age care, and be more rational and diversified in the layout of old-age care. And more and more emerging insurance companies can also intervene in the cause of providing for the aged in the form of light asset cooperation.

2. Considering the overall situation of home care and community care market, "light assets+heavy services+insurance products" may become a breakthrough point for insurance companies to realize profits in the field of pension real estate. Leaving aside the construction of large-scale old-age communities, insurance companies have a lot of room for innovation in traditional life insurance, long-term care insurance and personal commercial old-age insurance products. If they are matched with community home-based old-age care services, they can further expand the market.

3. With the country giving more support and encouragement policies to the financial innovation of insurance, in the future, insurance participation in pension can amplify the financial attributes of insurance, carry out financial innovation for C-end, and design insurance+pension products with the idea of "combining consumer insurance with savings insurance".

4. Smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale. Insurance companies should increase investment in science and technology, break through the "fence" of communities and nursing homes, and provide accurate and thoughtful services for more elderly people with pension needs.

5. Union Life has started to deploy overseas in the industry, and I believe that more insurance companies will participate in it in the future. Foreign pension enterprises are more mature and have a lot of high-quality and cheap assets, which are worth investing by China insurance companies. Moreover, with the hot development of residence, including foreign travel routes will be more popular with customers.

Various ways for insurance companies to develop old-age care

1, with the help of the group’s internal resources to build a community for the aged.

This model appeared in the early stage of the exploration of pension real estate. Some large-scale insurance parent groups have diversified business formats, and there are professional real estate companies under them. They often use the internal resources of the group to set up projects for elderly housing, and the successful projects can be sold to the market. In fact, the selling community model is no different from real estate development, which can quickly recover funds and obtain development profits, thus realizing rolling development. However, under this model, it is difficult to guarantee the community’s old-age service.

The "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" built by Ping An Insurance in the early days was developed and constructed in conjunction with China Ping An Real Estate Group, which integrated three product lines: pension apartment, family community and holiday leisure, with a total construction area of 1.5 million square meters.

The project adopts the mode of "both renting and selling", that is, like commercial real estate, property rights can be bought and sold. Member products are operated by Ping An Real Estate, which only rents and does not sell. At that time, this model was the only pension real estate developed in the form of "selling+holding operation" in the financial department.

Figure: Health Valley Member Service System

Evergrande Real Estate, the parent group of Evergrande Life Insurance, has built the Evergrande Health Valley, creating four parks, namely, Yiyang, Changle, Kangyi and Parent-child, providing 852 types of facilities and 867 comprehensive health management services, covering the whole life cycle from pre-pregnancy, infants to centenarians.

At present, the completed Evergrande Health Valley has been sold to the market. It is understood that Evergrande Health Valley will provide health care and old-age care services to customers through the membership mechanism of "rent, purchase and travel". Customers can become members by renting, buying products in Health Valley or traveling and living in Health Valley, and get membership rights such as health insurance, high-end medical care, health management and health care services. 

Evergrande Life put forward the strategic model of "insurance guarantee+ecological pension+combination of medical care and nursing care", and issued the permanent endowment insurance, which creatively combined insurance products with the old-age community to provide customers with a package of pension plans linking financial planning and pension entity services.

Photo: Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan

Everbright Life Insurance launched the "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan", which connects insurance products with Everbright Huichen Pension Service Community to provide customers with a package of pension solutions of "insurance+pension community" and realize the combination of financial products and physical pension. "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan" is divided into two sub-plans:

Plan A serves mid-to-high-end customers through "insurance+long-term care for the aged+preferential service for the aged living in residence", and locks in the occupancy right of Everbright Community in advance for customers. The occupancy right is further divided into "guaranteed occupancy right, priority occupancy right, preferential price right, experience occupancy right", etc., to provide customers with more and clearer protection, with up to six rights holders, including not only customers and their spouses, but also parents of both parties. In addition, the right holder can also enjoy the service of living and providing for the aged at preferential prices all over the country from the date of insurance;

The content of plan B is "insurance+preferential right of living service", with low payment threshold and wider coverage. Six rights holders can enjoy the same level of living service in plan A in advance without staying in the old-age community.

In 2019, Xingbao launched "Star Pension"-a comprehensive solution of pension insurance and pension community. Relying on Fosun Real Estate’s Healthy Honeycomb Platform, the two parties jointly create an exclusive pension community scheme for Fosun Prudential Life Insurance customers-customers can reserve pension annuity by purchasing corresponding insurance products of Fosun Prudential, and Fosun Real Estate promises the rights and interests of customers to stay in the "Fosun Pension Community" in the future. It is reported that if the total premium is more than 2 million, the insured can get the qualification to live in an old-age community.

China Merchants Guanyi Home launched the "Renhe Yijia Comprehensive Pension Plan", with the development strategy of "the same platform, giving equal attention to both light and heavy, and combining medical care with nursing care". China Merchants Renhe Life Insurance focuses on the whole industrial chain of pension insurance products, pension community development and pension community operation services.

Specifically, the pension community in Guangzhou Golden Valley (Renhe Yijia Heyuan) is only open to customers who buy insurance. Only by purchasing more than ten designated insurance products, including "China Merchants Renhe Zhaoying Jinsheng Annuity Insurance" and "China Merchants Renhe Heyue Life whole life insurance", and the accumulated premium payable reaches more than 2 million, can they be eligible to apply for the pension community.

2. Innovative gameplay of insurance+pension

Figure: UC club membership rights

China Insurance launched the UC Club of New Life, and launched membership service for the junior and old people. Members who join the club can enjoy services such as learning, medical care, traveling, doing something and having fun. It is also known that United Life also has plans to form a new senior club.

Guohua Life Insurance has established three companies on medical health and old-age care: Hainan Guohua Kangyang Co., Ltd., Gongqingcheng Zhongke Xukang Medical Industry Investment Partnership, and Guohua Residence Kangyang Co., Ltd. At present, the company’s work in medical care, old-age care and other aspects is in the preparatory stage, and there is no more definite information to disclose.

Love Life put forward the four-in-one ecological strategy of "medical care and insurance" for the aged. In 2020, China International Fair for Trade in Services released the first "insurance+service" home-based care product in the industry-"Love+Home-based Care Product Plan", which provides home-based care solutions for the elderly with the combination of "annuity protection+medical care service".

In addition, Love Life is also a pilot agency for long-term care insurance in Beijing, and has set up a special team with rich experience in care management services, and has become one of the eight financial institutions selected by China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission Financial Support Community Home Care Service Agency Project.

Happy Life, supported by the national policy, launched the reverse mortgage pension insurance product "Happy House Laibao reverse mortgage pension insurance for the elderly (Clause A)", and invested in regional leading pension institutions all over the country through the special equity investment fund for medical pension.

Zhonghong Life Insurance cooperates with Greenland Kangyang to create a cross-border innovative cooperation model of "insurance products+high-end pension community+Kangyang hotel", organically combining insurance financial products with physical pension services to provide customers with more comprehensive pension solutions. This indicates that Zhonghong Insurance has made important progress in building a "health+pension" dual-engine strategic layout.

tag

Insurance and old-age care both start from the whole life cycle of people, and they are strongly related. Looking at overseas, insurance companies have always been an important pillar of the development of old-age care. The social security and market profitability of providing for the aged coincide with the original meaning of the insurance industry.

On the level of social security, the overall security level of the three-pillar pension system in China is relatively low, with the first pillar dominating, but there are also problems of low security level. Therefore, the participation of commercial insurance can improve the level of social security to a certain extent.

As far as market profitability is concerned, with the improvement of the living standards of the elderly and the enhancement of their ability to pay, the demand of the elderly for commercial insurance products is increasingly prominent, and the inclusiveness of products and services with various asset properties is also increasing. There will be great market space for commercial insurance companies to cut in from this aspect and participate in pension real estate, insurance products and pension services.

In recent years, after the previous heavy lifting asset layout, insurance companies are slowly returning to rationality and becoming more and more clear about their own positioning-"insurance surname". They should form differentiated competition through providing for the aged, innovate services, give full play to the advantages of insurance+and build a big healthy ecosystem.

At the moment when long-term insurance is ready to come out and commercial insurance can play more roles, we believe that all insurance companies will participate in the pension industry in their own ways in the future, which makes us more full of expectations for this industry.

Children aged 3-11 in Henan Province started to receive COVID-19 vaccine, and all your concerns are here!

Interview video

Children aged 3-11 in Henan have started to get COVID-19 vaccine, and all your concerns are here!

Interview site

  Vaccination is the most direct and effective measure to prevent infectious diseases. Recently, Covid-19 vaccination for people aged 3-11 was launched in many places in Henan Province. On the afternoon of November 2nd, Lu Mingxia, director of the Monitoring Room 1 of the Institute of Immunization Planning of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, visited the Online Interview section of the Henan government website to answer questions about children’s Covid-19 vaccination.

  Vaccination is very important for high incidence of respiratory diseases in autumn and winter.

  Is it necessary for children to get COVID-19 vaccine? Lu Mingxia said: "Autumn and winter are the seasons with high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases, such as influenza. There may be the risk of influenza virus and Covid-19 overlapping epidemic in autumn and winter this year. Vaccination is the most economical and effective means to prevent infectious diseases. If you are not vaccinated, you are always susceptible to infection and are likely to be infected. It is very necessary to vaccinate. "

  Regarding the safety of vaccines, Lu Mingxia introduced that on the basis of previous vaccination work, China has carried out relevant research on the use of Covid-19 vaccines among people aged 3-11. Studies have shown that the safety and immunogenicity of inactivated vaccine in Covid-19 are not significantly different from those over 18 years old.

  There are two doses of Covid-19 vaccine for children. It is not recommended to vaccinate those who have a history of allergy.

  What Covid-19 vaccines are suitable for children aged 3-11? Lu Mingxia said that at present, people aged 3-11 in Henan Province use vaccines produced by Sinopharm Beijing Institute, Sinopharm Wuhan Institute and Beijing Kexing Zhongwei, all of which are inactivated vaccines. The vaccine needs to be inoculated in two doses. After the first dose, it needs to be inoculated at least 21 days at intervals of 3-8 weeks, and the second dose should be completed within 56 days. If you miss the best interval, you can replant the second injection as soon as possible without re-inoculation.

  "It should be noted that you are allergic to the ingredients contained in the vaccine, or you are allergic when you have been vaccinated with similar vaccines before; There have been severe allergic reactions to vaccines in the past; Suffering from uncontrolled epilepsy or other serious nervous system diseases; Children who are suffering from fever, acute diseases, or the onset of chronic diseases, or patients with uncontrolled serious chronic diseases are not recommended to be vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine. " Lu Mingxia said.

  Vaccinate according to children’s health, and pay attention to the vaccination interval.

  What problems should we pay attention to when vaccinating Covid-19 vaccine? Lu Mingxia reminded parents and friends to know about vaccines and diseases in advance and bring a vaccination certificate. At the time of vaccination, it is necessary to truthfully explain the child’s health to the vaccination doctor, and the doctor will judge whether it is possible to vaccinate. Observe for 30 minutes after inoculation, do not take strenuous activities, and keep a regular life and a light diet.

  Besides, can Covid-19 vaccine be vaccinated at the same time as other immunization vaccines? Lu Mingxia said that children aged 3-11, especially 3-6, have routine vaccines, such as AC polysaccharide vaccine at 3 years old, sugar pill at 4 years old, DTP at 6 years old and the second injection of AC polysaccharide. The interval between routine vaccine and Covid-19 vaccine should be more than 14 days. If there are special circumstances to vaccinate rabies vaccine, immunoglobulin or tetanus for human use, the interval may not be considered.

Israel says Iran "deceives the whole world", and the Iraqi foreign minister retaliates: "Wolf is coming" again.

  CCTV News:On the evening of April 30th local time and the early morning of May 1st Beijing time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a televised speech on the Iranian nuclear issue at the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces in Tel Aviv. He showed the so-called archives of Iran’s nuclear program obtained by Israeli intelligence agencies, accusing Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons after signing the Comprehensive Agreement on Iran’s Nuclear Issue in 2015, and "deceiving the whole world"!

  Netanyahu said that Israel has obtained a 55,000-page copy of the secret document on Iran’s nuclear program. This "new conclusive evidence" proves that Iran is still secretly developing nuclear weapons after signing the Iranian nuclear deal in 2015, moving its nuclear weapons program to a highly confidential location, and at the same time expanding the range of its missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuA few weeks ago, in an intelligence war, Israel got half a ton of materials from these vaults. This is what we got. There are 55,000 pages of materials, 55,000 documents and 183 CDs. Everything you see is a copy of the original Iranian materials.

  Netanyahu said that Iran’s claim that it has never had a nuclear weapons program is a "brazen lie".

  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuFirst of all, Iran is lying when it says that it has never had a nuclear weapons program. More than 100,000 pages of secret documents prove it. Secondly, even after the signing of the Iranian nuclear deal, Iran continues to preserve and expand its knowledge of nuclear weapons for future use. "

  Netanyahu said that this Iranian "nuclear file" is shared by Israel and the United States, which can prove its authenticity.

  [News Link] The United States and Israel believe that the agreement is flawed

  The day before, the new US Secretary of State Pompeo had just visited Israel and held talks with Netanyahu on the Iranian nuclear issue. Pompeo reiterated that the Iranian nuclear deal has many shortcomings, and if it is not amended, the United States will withdraw from the agreement. The so-called "shortcomings" of Israel and the United States mainly include the "sunset clause" in the agreement. According to this provision, after the failure of the Iranian nuclear deal, Iran can resume uranium enrichment activities. In addition, Israel and the United States also hope to increase restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile program and to curb Iran’s influence in the region.

  Iranian Foreign Minister: The Israeli Prime Minister is shouting "Wolf" again.

  Netanyahu accused Iran of lying and secretly developing nuclear weapons. In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif recently posted on social media that Netanyahu repeatedly accused Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons, just like the little boy who said "Wolf is coming".

  Zarif said that Netanyahu’s accusation about Iran’s secret development of nuclear weapons is groundless, and it is just a propaganda war. He also ridiculed Netanyahu as a little boy crying wolf. Zarif said on his social media homepage, "The children who cried wolf are coming again, but this can only deceive a few people." Zarif said that US President Trump’s recent allegations about Iran’s nuclear program are old-fashioned, and these allegations have been proved wrong by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Now, at this time point, the little boy (Netanyahu) crying "Wolf is coming" has released the so-called intelligence evidence, just to influence Trump’s decision on the Iranian nuclear deal.

  Iran says it can restart uranium enrichment at any time.

  On the same day, salehi, Chairman of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency, once again stressed that technically, Iran can resume uranium enrichment activities at any time, and now Iran can extract enriched uranium with higher purity. But Iran doesn’t want to go there.

  Iranian Atomic Energy Agency Chairman salehi: "We don’t want to come to the situation of resuming uranium enrichment activities. I hope that Mr. Trump and his colleagues and the government can keep their heads and don’t create trouble, which will give themselves or us or even others a headache."

China’s leader’s thought of strengthening the army for 60 years has been rooted in time.


Data map: Training of honor guards of the PLA Armed Forces


  On April 23rd this year, China Navy held a grand military parade in the waters near Qingdao, which can be regarded as a prelude to the 60th National Day military parade of New China. China’s Ministry of National Defense said that this year’s National Day military parade will focus on the achievements of the construction of the armed forces system with China characteristics, with domestic main battle equipment as the mainstay.


  If equipment is a metaphysical tool, then the thought of national defense and army building is a metaphysical way to guide the development of military forces. In the past 60 years, the tool of China’s army has changed from "made in all countries" to "information-based", while the Tao of China’s army has changed with the times and made a unique way.


  From "people’s war" to "the road of elite soldiers with China characteristics", from "military reform with China characteristics" to "Scientific Outlook on Development as a guide" … Since the founding of New China 60 years ago, the world pattern has changed and historical conditions have changed constantly, and China’s national defense and army building are facing different topics at different times. The leaders of China in the past dynasties not only persisted in the same strain, but also innovated and developed according to the times when they worked out the strategy of strengthening the army.


  现代化强军之路 改革步入“深水区”


  抗战初期,中国共产党人已经在思考“军队现代化”这个命题。十一年后,在共和国成立庆典的阅兵式上,解放军拿着“万国造”的武器,用骡马拖拽着火炮从天安门前走过。这一刻,建设现代化国防和军队的课题更加凸显。


  一九五0年九月,毛泽东提出:“中国必须建立强大的国防军。”百业待兴的新中国,在重重困难中,进行着国防现代化的初步探索和实践。从那时起,“现代化”成为中国国防和军队建设的根本之“纲”,贯穿于几代领导人的思路之中。


  经历了建国初期时的波折与停顿,上世纪八十年代,邓小平指出,军队的中心任务是解决现代化的问题。在中国改革开放的进程中,邓小平与其继承者,一直着力于“建设强大的现代化正规化革命军队”这一课题。


  “中国国防和军队建设现代化的大政方针,由毛泽东奠定基础,邓小平提出蓝图,到江泽民则是作出了具体的规划。”国防大学战略研究部副主任张伊宁少将说。


  He believes that at present, military reform has entered the "deep water area." "The military reform stresses four innovations: theoretical innovation, technological innovation, management innovation and organizational innovation. We have done some work on the first three." Zhang Yining said that in the past, the military reform mainly focused on changing the scale, reducing the number and improving the technical level. "Organizational innovation is the most difficult and critical. At this stage, it is mainly to promote the reform of organizational form, which is the most arduous reform."


  Change and invariability are rooted in time and never change.


  For a long time after the founding of New China, national defense and army building were in a state of war for a long time. At the end of 1970s, the international and domestic situation changed greatly. At that time, Deng Xiaoping made a judgment on the issue of war and peace: "It is possible that a large-scale world war will not happen in a long time, and there is hope for maintaining world peace." Based on this judgment, China’s national defense and army building turned to the track of peacetime construction.


  It is a remarkable feature of several generations of leaders in China to adjust their thinking on national defense and army building. Shortly after the end of the Gulf War in 1991, Jiang Zemin pointed out: "Meeting the challenges of world military development is our unavoidable historical responsibility." China’s military strategic policy began to change to prepare to win local wars under the conditions of modern technology, especially high technology, and then put forward the strategy of "strengthening the army through science and technology".


  After the September 11th incident in the United States, the international situation has changed and new issues have emerged in domestic security. In Hu Jintao’s exposition on national defense and army building under the new situation, there is a statement that "improve the army’s ability to respond to various security threats and complete diversified military tasks, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and contribute to the maintenance of world peace". Based on this, Hu Jintao put forward a new mission for the army in the new century.


  "Things that have changed in the past 60 years are all made according to changes in historical conditions and are formulated to adapt to the situation in different periods." Zhang Yining said, "What remains unchanged is the root and soul of China’s army, which is to listen to the party’s command, serve the people and safeguard national interests."


  The principle of building the People’s Army founded by Mao Zedong is upheld by its successors. After the reform and opening up, the army faced many new situations and problems. Deng Xiaoping repeatedly stressed that the army should always adhere to its own nature: the army of the party, the army of the people, and the army of socialist countries; Later, Jiang Zemin pointed out that the party’s absolute leadership over the army is the eternal soul of China’s army, emphasizing that the army should "win and not deteriorate"; In the new century, Hu Jintao vigorously advocated the fine tradition of listening to the Party’s command, serving the people and being brave and good at fighting in the army.


  May peace last forever and never seek hegemony.


  During the naval parade, Hu Jintao told the guests from all over the world that no matter how developed, China would never seek hegemony.


  Although the outside world is full of all kinds of "China threat theory", combing the history, we can find that from Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, several generations of China leaders have declared "no hegemony" on various occasions. Looking through the six national defense white papers published by China, we can find the statement that "China pursues a defensive national defense policy".


  China people have the dream of "strengthening the army", but they always hold the hope of peace. "China’s army will always be an important force in safeguarding world peace and promoting common development." Behind this commitment, it is also the consistent thinking of several generations of leaders in China.
