Behind the main meeting venue in Xiamen: the original G20 team took only six months to build and rebuild.

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 …"

Do takeaway riders really face the dilemma of "de-skill"?

Johnny Chen

Under the background of the rapid development of platform economy and digital technology, do the new professional groups represented by selling riders face the risk of technical unemployment? This issue of "Investigation and Research" is based on interviews and investigations on the rider’s labor process, and at the same time, it organizes multi-perspective discussions in the industry and academia to explore more topics about the development of intelligent society.

According to the data of "China Sharing Economy Development Report 2021" released by the National Information Center, there will be about 84 million sharing economy service providers in China in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of about 7.7%. The sharing economic service providers here mainly include new employment forms such as take-away riders, online car drivers and couriers. At the beginning of 2023, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions released the results of the ninth national survey on the status of the workforce. The data shows that there are currently 84 million workers in the new employment form in China. The number of take-away riders reached 13 million, accounting for 15% of the total workers in the new employment form. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of take-away riders increased sharply. Take Meituan as an example. From 2020 to 2022, the number of riders increased from 4.7 million to 6.24 million, an increase of 32.8%.

The large-scale rise of workers with new employment forms is closely related to the prosperity and development of platform economy. The rapid development of platform economy is inseparable from the rapid progress of artificial intelligence technology. As the core driving force of the fourth industrial revolution, artificial intelligence technology is setting off a global wave of science and technology, which not only becomes the strategic commanding height of scientific and technological competition between countries, but also profoundly changes all aspects of human social production and daily life. However, the wide application of artificial intelligence technology in the platform economy not only promotes the production progress and the convenience of life, but also causes people’s worries about the "skills removal" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress.

In July 2021, Meituan revealed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that unmanned delivery vehicles will develop into large-scale applications in 3-5 years. UAV service is also expected to appear in more cities within 3-5 years. The rapid development of unmanned distribution inevitably makes people worry about "de-skilling" and being replaced. However, the relevant personnel of the US Mission also said that unmanned distribution and non-contact economy are an ecological concept. Only scale and normalization can solve the cost problem, and manpower is still needed before all the advantages of innovation and technological iteration appear, so a large number of unemployment is unlikely. This can’t completely eliminate people’s worries about "de-skill" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress. In view of the huge scale of take-away riders, automation, digitalization and unmanned are imperative, it is necessary for us to go back to the problem that worries us and re-understand the labor process of "de-skill" and take-away riders.

The Essence of "De-skilling" and Tacit Knowledge in Labor Process

The idea of "de-skilling" originated from American economist harry braverman. In his view, Taylor’s scientific management is to concentrate scattered handicraft knowledge on employers, and then distribute it to workers in the form of detailed instruction books. Braverman described it as "separation of concept and implementation". Therefore, the essence of "de-skill" is the separation of concept and execution, that is, the separation of hand and brain in work.

"De-skilling" means the degeneration of workers. With the mechanization and automation of industrial production process, especially the infinite subdivision of work, workers in specific positions have less and less skills to master, and then become part of the production line instead of a complete person. Workers no longer use their brains at work, but execute orders like parts or tools of machines. As a result, workers become more and more stupid.

Back to the labor process of the takeaway rider. A large number of studies at home and abroad have revealed the trend of artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms in strengthening platform supervision ability, reducing workers’ autonomy and "de-skill". As mentioned above, "de-skill" is essentially the separation of hands and brains at work, and the result is the degradation of workers’ cognitive ability; However, in actual observation, the performance of takeaway riders is not the case. One of the important reasons is that the rider’s "tacit knowledge" in his work is ignored.

"Tacit knowledge" means "we know more than what we can express and formulate". For a long time, the "tacit knowledge" of workers is hard to find, but it plays a huge role. The advantage of "tacit knowledge" is that it comes from a specific situation rather than a general situation, so it can judge the causes of specific problems in the labor process more quickly and directly and find solutions. This characteristic, which originates from a specific situation and is inseparable from human intuition and judgment, makes the rider’s labor process unable to be simplified into "rules, regulations and formulas" according to the requirements of scientific management. The process of using "tacit knowledge" is precisely the process of combining hands and brains. Therefore, food delivery will not make takeaway riders stupid, but will make them "gain certain growth": "It has not only changed the situation in my family, but also changed my life, and also changed my personality, making me a lot more mature and stable, and also become much stronger."

Simply put, the rider’s tacit knowledge in the process of food delivery is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the brain map, second, the situational experience and third, the communication skills.

The first is the "brain map". Most riders’ distribution route planning recommended by the external selling platform App has experienced a transition from full compliance to independent planning. At the beginning of food delivery, new riders will deliver food in strict accordance with the delivery route recommended by the takeaway platform App because they are unfamiliar with the food delivery process, area and time. But when they are familiar with it, they will deliver food according to the distribution route accumulated in their own minds, because they know how to plan the distribution route faster: "We started to deliver food according to the systematic planning, and after three months of familiarity, we followed the planned route in our brains."

Followed by "situational experience." Riders can make good judgments on specific situations because they repeatedly deal with people and things in the process of delivering food, which enables them to continuously accumulate various typical "situational experiences". This kind of experience, like the "brain map" and the "communication skills" mentioned later, can’t be clearly expressed, but they all play a key role: "We will encounter all kinds of problems in the process of delivering food. For example, if some merchants are slow to deliver food, you can take it from other homes first, or the customers are close. It is ok for me to deliver it to him in a few minutes and then come back to pick up his meals."

Finally, there is "communication skills". Riders need to practice superb communication skills, because one of the skills they use most in the process of food delivery is communication, such as communication with the front desk of merchants, communication with security guards at the entrance of supermarkets and communities, and communication with customers. Good communication can not only improve the efficiency of food delivery, but also get favorable service comments: "Because it is a service industry, it is better to communicate with guests. If you have a bad temper, it is easy to have language disputes with guests … If you don’t communicate well, you will definitely be complained. Communication in our business is more important than food delivery. "

Therefore, from the perspective of using "tacit knowledge" in the process of food delivery, that is, the combination of hand and brain is needed in the work, the delivery of take-away food is not "de-skilled". Good communication with merchants/security guards/customers, human brain planning of distribution routes, and "situational experience" needed in each link of meal taking/delivery all require takeaway riders to use their hands and brains and make good use of the "tacit knowledge" they have accumulated in their work. The cognitive ability of riders has not deteriorated at work, and they have not become "more and more stupid".

The factory that can’t go back and the desire of "complete workers"

During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2022, Zhang Xinghai, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Xiaokang Group, said that in recent years, industries such as take-away, e-commerce and webcasting have attracted a large number of young people to find jobs; Express delivery and take-away industry "involution" to graduate students to compete; Young people are no longer willing to go to work in factories, which leads to the increasingly serious problem of hollowing out industrial workers. Zhang Xinghai suggested that the government, enterprises and all walks of life should make joint efforts to encourage young people to become industrial workers, so as to alleviate the difficulties in recruiting and employing workers in the manufacturing industry. However, the main reason why riders are unwilling to enter the factory and are willing to deliver takeout is that the delivery of takeout is not "unskilled" compared with factory workers, but requires them to use their hands and brains.

While there is a "blowout" of employment on various Internet platforms, the traditional manufacturing industry is indeed experiencing a "labor shortage". Cao Dewang, the founder of Fuyao Group, also expressed his feelings for this: "Nowadays, young people would rather send takeout than go to work in a factory. This is the current dilemma facing the manufacturing industry." In this regard, Professor Wen Xiaoyi of China Institute of Labor Relations pointed out: "In the past, young and middle-aged laborers who were active in factory production lines are constantly moving from offline to online, which has made great changes in China’s economic structure and situation. In the past, going to work in coastal factories was the first choice for countless young people to realize their urban dreams. Nowadays, sending express delivery and take-away in big cities is becoming a career priority. "

For the phenomenon that young people "prefer to take delivery rather than go to work in factories", most studies take the high salary return of the platform economy and the strict management of the manufacturing industry as the main reasons. Indeed, the income return of takeaway riders is no less than that of traditional manufacturing. It is reported that most workers in factories in coastal areas earn 4,000-8,000 yuan a month. In contrast, riders can get 7000-8000 yuan per month, and many people can even exceed 10,000 yuan. More importantly, although it is equally hard, being a takeaway rider is rarely controlled, more free, and can also take time off: "The factory is too strict and has no rest. Except for legal holidays, the state can’t deduct (punish) it, so I will give you a day off. It’s more than 6 thousand yuan a month, which is similar to here. But in comparison, it is free here. "

The "local workers" described by Marx may be the original prototype of "de-skill", that is, "workers who have been engaged in the same simple operation all their lives turn their whole bodies into automatic one-sided organs of this operation". The production line invented by Henry Ford shows more intuitively that modern factories no longer need the "whole body" of workers, but "one-sided organs". The design principle of the assembly line invented by Ford is to "arrange tools and people according to working procedures so as to complete the assembly of spare parts in the shortest possible time". Obviously, people are reduced to tool-like existence on the assembly line. Therefore, the workers on the assembly line will inevitably encounter the problem of hand-brain separation and the cognitive degradation caused by it.

However, Marx also pointed out that "conscious life activities directly distinguish people from animal life activities" when distinguishing people from animals. The difference between people and animals lies in that people can engage in free and conscious conscious activities, and the difference between people and tools lies in that people have valuable cognitive and creative abilities. Therefore, people are more willing to take delivery than those jobs that make people stupid on the assembly line, precisely because people naturally want to use their hands and brains at work. Because of the existence of "tacit knowledge", delivery can make riders feel that they are "complete workers" rather than "one-sided organs" than entering the factory. This may also be the reason why riders feel "freedom" at work.

Although the take-away rider does not really face the dilemma of "de-skill", it is undeniable that the rider engaged in take-away distribution may not have high academic qualifications and high skills. According to the results of the ninth survey on the status of the national workforce released by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the academic qualifications of couriers and take-away distributors are concentrated in high school and below. It is not difficult to find out from the employment report of Meituan riders during the epidemic period released by Meituan that the ranking of riders’ sources from high to low is factory workers, salespeople, entrepreneurs or self-employed small businesses or catering industry employees. Among them, factory workers, salespeople, and catering employees may also be low-skilled workers. How to let more people accumulate "tacit knowledge" in their work, show free and conscious labor and realize the coordinated development of man and machine is the key issue in the era of artificial intelligence.

Takeaway rider health certificate fraud chaos: 30 yuan a piece, "package approved"

  Beijing, May 15 (Reporter Li Xingjian) According to the Voice of China’s "News Evening Peak" report, for word-of-mouth maintenance, food safety, etc., many takeaway delivery platforms have declared that "riders should apply for a health certificate". However, the reporter’s investigation found that it is easy to search for a link to apply for a fake health certificate on the Internet. For only 30 yuan, you can get a fake health certificate completed by a P picture. "The store" also promises to "pass the package review". Many takeaway delivery platforms are also "open" to the review of riders’ health certificates, and even takeaway sites help riders open a so-called "green channel" for health certificate application, which can be completed quickly without a physical examination.

  Xiao Zhang, who was a rider on a takeaway delivery platform in Nanjing, Jiangsu, told reporters that according to regulations, the health certificate should be handled by the CDC in each district, but at their rider station, as long as they hand over 20 yuan to the stationmaster, in less than half an hour, the health certificate can be completed and approved by the takeaway platform.

  "The reason I don’t do it is that 70% to 80% of riders have fake health certificates. If you want to do it, you will pay 20 yuan to the webmaster, and then you will get the fake health certificate." Xiao Zhang said.

  Xiao Zhang and others said that due to the intense competition among various platforms and the greater mobility of riders, there is a shortage of personnel at various distribution points, and some distribution points falsify health certificates for convenience.

  The reporter searched for the name of the group "health certificate" on QQ, and the list immediately popped up multiple ways to apply for the health certificate. After the reporter randomly joined two of the group chats, an administrator soon chatted privately and asked, saying that there is no need for a physical examination, only need to provide information such as name, age, avatar photo, and the city where the running order is located. The health certificate can be applied for in all cities across the country, 30 yuan each, and promises to "pass the platform review".

  Less than half an hour later, the reporter received the completed "health certificate", which looks almost real from the appearance. The first column of the certificate reads the employee’s preventive health inspection certificate, and the category of the employee is marked with food hygiene, which is valid for one year. It is stamped by the center for disease prevention and control of the reporter’s registered city, and the health certificate number and barcode. The staff member said that many of the health certificates used to run takeout are completed by P pictures.

  According to media reports, although many disease control departments across the country have provided online inspection of health certificate number network services, but a number of takeaway platform personnel confirmed that the actual operation is still mainly manual review, due to the large number of people and other reasons, the verification effect still needs to be improved.

  Reporters consulted the local 12320 public health service hotline on issues such as how to report false health certificates, and staff told reporters that they could consult industry and commerce, market supervision or health departments.

  The reporter then dialed the Nanjing Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the staff said that questions related to the health certificate should be asked by the health bureau.

  The local disease control department said that it is only responsible for handling health certificates, and the CDC has no law enforcement powers and is not responsible for complaints and reports of fake health certificates.

  In recent years, Hubei, Inner Mongolia, Guangdong and other places have successively issued food safety supervision and management measures for online catering services, which clearly stipulates that operators, third-party platform providers and third-party logistics service providers engaged in online ordering services should strengthen the training and management of food delivery personnel, and require food delivery personnel to obtain health certificates according to law when they are on duty. However, the national regulatory documents do not put hard requirements on the health certificates of takeaway personnel. The "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Safety in Online Catering Services" that came into effect on January 1, 2018 mentioned that "food delivery personnel should maintain personal hygiene" and "food Security Training and management of food delivery personnel should be strengthened."

  The relevant person in charge of the Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control said that in addition to the problem of false health certificates being difficult to investigate and deal with, there are still problems such as "people and certificates are difficult to verify" in some areas where the health certificate has not been informatized. The person in charge said: "In our provincial CDC to apply for a health certificate, real-time capture and real-time physical examination, after the physical examination, the photo can be matched to apply for a health certificate, and take the road of informatization. Is the person going to the medical examination himself? If you don’t take the road of informatization, there may be loopholes."

  Zhu Yi, an associate professor at the School of Food Science and Nutrition Engineering at China Agricultural University, said that health certificates that can pass the platform inspection can be called "real and fake health certificates", which brings difficulties to supervision and great hidden dangers to food safety, making the original "safety gate" of food safety into an "empty shelf". Building a fence for food safety requires the joint efforts of distribution platforms and regulatory authorities, and the full use of information technology to make the health certificate information transparent. "The market supervision department not only needs to supervise whether riders are certified to work, but also should conduct on-site inspections and spot checks. At the same time, when it comes to food hygiene, the platform cannot be mercenary."
