Summary: Fukushima people oppose the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Xinhua News Agency, Fukushima, Japan, August 23rd Summary: Fukushima people oppose the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  The Japanese government decided on the 22nd, as long as the weather and marine meteorology are fine, the nuclear polluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will be discharged into the sea on August 24th. From 22nd to 23rd, several residents of Fukushima Prefecture were interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, condemning the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company for violating their original commitment not to dispose of nuclear polluted water without authorization, and reiterating their firm opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Xiao Ye Chunxiong, a 71-year-old fisherman in Xindicho, Fukushima Prefecture, told Xinhua News Agency on the 22nd: "Discharging the sea is a matter of survival for us. We have endured it and endured it for 12 or 13 years, and we have not recovered to ‘ 3·11’ The fishing level before the earthquake, under such circumstances, does kishida fumio, as the Japanese Prime Minister, have the right to pollute our workplace? "

  Xiao Ye Chunxiong said that after the 2011 earthquake, wholesalers in Tsukiji Aquatic Products Market in Tokyo were reluctant to purchase fish from Fukushima. Fishermen in Fukushima worked hard for more than 10 years, and it was not until two years ago that the price of seafood from Fukushima recovered to be higher than that before the earthquake. At this time, "if it is discharged, are we worried that fish can still be sold?" Moreover, nuclear polluted water can not be discharged in one year or two, and will continue to be discharged for a long time. "

  Chiyoda Oda, who lives in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, told Xinhua News Agency by e-mail on the 22nd that the Japanese government hastily decided to discharge the sea, violating its promise. "This is an atrocity that was promoted under the condition of insufficient explanation to the people."

  Nishi Nishi runs a hot spring hotel with a history of more than 300 years in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. He told reporters on the 23rd that about 70% of the hotel guests originally came from Tokyo, but after the nuclear accident, the number of guests from other places decreased, making it even more difficult for foreign tourists to see them.

  When asked if he was worried that the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea would further reduce the number of tourists, Rijian Xisheng said that 12 years after the nuclear accident, tourists finally began to increase. "This time, the news (nuclear polluted water discharged into the sea) spread all over the world, and it was Fukushima, and I felt very sad."

  In 2015, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company promised to the Federation of Fisheries Cooperation Associations in Fukushima Prefecture in the form of documents that "no disposal will be carried out (for nuclear polluted water) without the understanding of relevant parties". Rijian Xisheng said that the government promised the fishermen in Fukushima not to discharge nuclear polluted water without authorization, and now it has decided to discharge it, so the government lied. He stressed that so far, the government has not gained the understanding of the people in Fukushima Prefecture. He showed reporters the data of a poll conducted by local TV stations on the 22nd, showing that more than 70% of Fukushima residents thought that the government’s explanation did not make them better understand the plan of discharging the sea.

  On the 23rd, the plaintiff group composed of residents of Fukushima Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture announced that they would file a lawsuit in the Fukushima District Court, and demanded that the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company cancel the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  The plaintiff and attorney held a press conference in Iwaki on the afternoon of 23rd, and announced the news. In the complaint, the plaintiff pointed out that discharging pollutants into the sea violated the principle that those responsible for pollution should not diffuse pollutants and infringed on the residents’ right to a stable life. The attorney pointed out that the Japanese authorities and the Tokyo Electric Power Company had a major fault in the Fukushima nuclear accident, and now it is a "double harm" to deliberately discharge pollutants into the sea.

Reform and opening up is a great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is a great and profound revolution. It is an economic revolution, an ideological revolution, a social revolution and a governance revolution. Reform and opening up has not only changed the object, but also reshaped the subject itself, so it is also a great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s great self-revolution.The Communist Party of China (CPC) started with revolution, insisted on promoting social change and national construction with revolutionary attitude, and always displayed high revolutionary spirit. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s revolutionary spirit is not only reflected in his courage to go through fire and water in the revolutionary era and his enthusiasm to change places in the construction period, but also in his persistence in his advanced nature and purity and his face-to-face solution to his own problems. This spirit of self-revolution is a remarkable sign that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is different from other political parties. The start of reform and opening-up was precisely implemented by the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the basis of in-depth review of left-leaning thoughts and dogmatism. In the process of reform and opening-up, the Party is always faced with various risks and challenges. However, the Communist Party of China (CPC) did not fall into a state of being afraid to fight and content with the status quo, but insisted on the courage to face up to problems and correct mistakes, and got rid of his illness again and again, making the party not only a long-term ruling party with excellent ability and high skill, but also a sustained revolutionary party with excellent politics and strong organization. Facts have proved that the reform and opening up not only promoted the overall progress of the country, but also realized the great social revolution; Moreover, it has made the party’s beliefs more firm, its thoughts more mature, its organization more powerful, and its style of work always excellent, thus realizing a great self-revolution. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, the Communist Party of China (CPC) can lead the people to carry out great social revolution as well as great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is the great self-revolution of the Chinese nation.The great national spirit formed by the people of China in the long-term struggle has created a splendid Chinese civilization that has lasted for thousands of years and has become a powerful spiritual driving force for Chinese civilization. However, in modern times, influenced by many factors, the spiritual vitality of the Chinese nation was imprisoned, and the national self-confidence and spirit of struggle and creation were once severely weakened. It was the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s social revolution guided by Marxism that revived the great spirit of the Chinese nation. In particular, the new great revolution of reform and opening up has further profoundly changed the Chinese nation. Reform and opening up have made Marxism enter and influence Chinese’s spiritual world more deeply, and become the fundamental thinking method and action guide of the people of China. Reform and opening up have promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese civilization, made the most basic cultural genes adapt to contemporary culture and coordinate with modern society, and cultivated and formed a socialist core value system that embodies the traditional cultural spirit of the Chinese nation and has the characteristics of the new era. Reform and opening up have helped Chinese to establish modern values of openness, equality, enterprising and self-confidence, and the national self-confidence and cohesion have been significantly enhanced. The reform and opening up has enabled the Chinese nation to look at the major issues facing itself and the world more scientifically and rationally, and to bravely put forward ideas, propositions and plans for the world that reflect China’s position, China’s wisdom and China’s values. Practice has proved that the reform and opening-up has reshaped the Chinese nation from the depths of its soul and realized its great self-revolution.

  Reform and opening up is the great self-revolution of socialism.Since the October Revolution, world socialism has gone through a hundred years of burning passion, and the wave of red revolution has swept the world. However, due to the imprisonment of dogmatism and the erosion of western social thoughts, socialism once lost its vitality. China’s reform and opening up, through the discussion of truth standard, broke the dogmatic thinking of Marxism and regarded "seeking truth from facts" as the basic methodology of building and developing socialism again. In practice, China always adhered to the Four Cardinal Principles, actively absorbed the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and explored and formed the Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has not only enabled the Chinese nation to modernize in an all-round way, but also enabled socialism to successfully open up a correct road with high reality and feasibility in the most populous country in the world, and it will glow with new vitality in the new century. In sharp contrast, the development of capitalism since the new century has hit its own "iron plate". The different development trends of socialism and capitalism since the new century show that capitalism has not only fallen into a "crisis of applicability", but also faced a "crisis of legitimacy"; The reform and opening-up has not only enabled China to take over the banner of socialist development, but also revitalized socialism, making it more attractive and attractive. Compared with capitalism, it has shown greater vitality and superiority, and the world development situation is changing.

  History has proved that reform and opening up, as a social and historical movement, is also a conscious social change activity. The social and historical development is endless. When the reform and opening up is not completed, it is the constant pursuit of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Chinese nation and socialism to realize self-development and perfection. As Socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, it is necessary for us to continue to promote the great social revolution, and it is even more necessary for us to always establish the spirit of being brave in self-revolution, forge ahead, constantly enhance our abilities of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement, embark on a new journey and open up a new situation.

Note that your housing provident fund may have gone up!

  Zhongxin. com, July 29 (Zhongxin Finance reporter Li Jinlei) On July 28, "Beijing’s housing provident fund deposit ceiling was greatly raised" was on the hot search.

  The reporter of Zhongxin Finance and Economics noted that since July 2022, the deposit base of housing provident fund has been adjusted in many places, and the upper and lower limits of the new deposit base have been clarified. Many people’s housing provident fund has also ushered in an increase.

  Adjust the upper and lower limits of the housing provident fund deposit base in many places

  At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places have adjusted the upper and lower limits of the housing provident fund deposit base.

  Among them, the Beijing Housing Provident Fund Management Committee Office issued a notice on the 28 th. Since July 1, 2022, the upper limit of the annual housing provident fund deposit base for 2022 housing provident fund is 31,884 yuan; The minimum monthly deposit base is 2320 yuan.

  The upper limit of the monthly deposit amount corresponding to the deposit ratio of each housing provident fund in Beijing.

  The upper limit of the deposit base is 3,663 yuan higher than 28,221 yuan in 2021. If the deposit ratio is 12%, the maximum monthly deposit can be 7652 yuan, of which the unit and individual each pay 3826 yuan, and the monthly deposit amount is 878 yuan higher than the upper limit of last year. If the minimum deposit is 5%, then the upper limit of the monthly deposit is 3188 yuan, of which the unit and individual each pay 1594 yuan.

  In addition, the maximum deposit base of Shanghai housing provident fund and supplementary housing provident fund is not more than 34,188 yuan, and the minimum is not less than 2,590 yuan. The upper limit of the monthly deposit of the housing provident fund is 4,786 yuan, and the lower limit is 362 yuan according to the deposit ratio of 7% for the employees themselves and the units respectively.

  The upper and lower limits of the monthly deposit of Shanghai housing provident fund in 2022.

  Guangzhou has made it clear that the adjusted deposit base is not lower than the minimum wage standard of this city (the current standard is 2,300 yuan), and it is not higher than three times the average monthly salary of employees in the city in 2021, that is, 36,072 yuan.

  Shenzhen has made it clear that the adjusted deposit base shall not exceed three times the average monthly salary of employees in the city in 2021 announced by the statistics department of this municipality, that is, it shall not exceed 38,892 yuan. The adjusted deposit base of employees who have been employed in the unit before January 1, 2022 shall not be lower than the monthly minimum wage of the city in the previous year of 2,200 yuan, and the deposit base of new employees and newly transferred employees after January 1, 2022 shall not be lower than the monthly minimum wage of the city in 2022 of 2,360 yuan.

  It can be seen that the housing provident fund can’t be paid as much as you want, and it can’t be too low or too high. The upper limit of the deposit base is generally three times the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year, while the lower limit is generally the local minimum wage.

  Your housing provident fund deposit base may change from July.

  The new upper and lower limits of housing provident fund deposit base are announced in various places, but whether the amount of housing provident fund deposit of individual employees changes depends on whether your housing provident fund deposit base has been adjusted.

  According to the Regulations on the Management of Housing Provident Fund, the monthly contribution of employee housing provident fund is the average monthly salary of the employee in the previous year multiplied by the contribution ratio of employee housing provident fund.

  When will the base of housing provident fund deposit be adjusted? Generally, it is July every year, because the housing provident fund is adjusted from July 1 of that year to June 30 of the next year.

  Therefore, starting from July 2022, the deposit base of housing provident fund in many places will be adjusted to the average monthly salary of employees themselves in 2021.

  For example, Shanghai has made it clear that the deposit base of employee housing provident fund will be adjusted from the average monthly salary in 2020 to the average monthly salary in 2021. Guangzhou made it clear that the deposit base of housing provident fund was adjusted to the average monthly salary of employees in 2021. Shenzhen has made it clear that from July 1, 2022, all housing provident fund deposit units should adjust and implement the adjusted housing provident fund deposit base, which is the average monthly salary of employees in 2021.

  Therefore, if your average monthly salary increases in 2021, your monthly contribution of housing provident fund will also increase if the contribution ratio of housing provident fund does not decrease.

  For example, if your average monthly salary is 8,000 yuan in 2020, it will rise to 9,000 yuan in 2021, and the contribution ratio has always been 12%. After the adjustment of the contribution base, the total monthly contribution of me and my company will rise from 1,920 yuan (960 yuan for individuals and 1,080 yuan for units respectively) to 2,160 yuan (240 yuan for individuals and units respectively).

  How to check whether the deposit base of your housing provident fund has increased?

  The query methods are diverse.

  You can check your own salary slip or consult with the handling personnel of the unit for confirmation. You can also check online, enter the official website or APP of the local provident fund management center, and log in to your personal provident fund account to check. Or through third-party applications such as Alipay, you can also call the housing provident fund hotline 12329 for telephone inquiry.

  You can also choose offline inquiry and bring ID cards and other documents to the service hall of the local housing provident fund management center for inquiry. How much do you pay into the housing provident fund every month?

National Defense General and Emergency Management Department: Actively communicate and dock with disaster-stricken areas to quickly allocate relief materials.

  CCTV News:On the morning of September 3, the State Council Office held a routine briefing on flood control and disaster relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction in the State Council. In response to a reporter’s question, Zhou Xuewen, Secretary-General of the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, Vice Minister of Emergency Management Department and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that during the main flood season, the National Defense Office and the Emergency Management Department, together with relevant departments, established a daily consultation and scheduling mechanism to timely judge the flood situation and personnel relocation and resettlement in various places, and used the emergency resource management platform established in recent years to accurately grasp the local demand for relief materials, actively communicate and dock with the affected areas, and quickly allocate relief materials. In order to quickly deliver relief materials to the affected people, it is mainly necessary to prepare in advance, establish a mechanism and distribute them quickly.

  Prepare in advance and focus on deployment.Before entering the flood season, the procurement of central disaster relief materials was started in advance this year, and 75,000 tents, 120,000 folding beds and other materials worth 159 million yuan were purchased, which were mainly deployed around major rivers and in disaster-prone areas such as southwest and northwest, so as to achieve forward deployment and inventory.

  Establish a mechanism for timely allocation.According to the development trend of the disaster, we will establish an efficient linkage guarantee mechanism for disaster relief materials in conjunction with relevant departments. In case of emergency, we will adjust the materials first and then make up the procedures, so as to simplify the procedures and transport them at any time to ensure the rapid adjustment of disaster relief materials.

  Green access, quick distribution.Open a green channel for disaster relief materials, giving priority to transportation and passage. It is stipulated that when applying for central relief materials, all localities should clarify the main distribution destination and distribution plan, reduce intermediate links, and directly deliver them to the front line of disaster-stricken areas in cities and counties, so as to minimize the transit time and realize that the first batch of relief materials will be delivered to the affected people within 12 hours after the disaster.

Interview with reporters in Hong Kong: Hong Kong people oppose justice in their hearts.

In April 2019, the "Chen Tongjia case" in Hong Kong triggered the "anti-amendment" storm. From the initial demonstrations to the present violent chaos in Hong Kong, the incident has gradually escalated, causing widespread concern at home and abroad.

Yesterday, a reporter from Global Times, who had just returned from an interview in Hong Kong, visited the People’s Network Power Forum to tell netizens about the truest Hong Kong today and restore the Hong Kong people in the "Eye of the Storm" center.

Scene 1: The 73-year-old man was blocked when he didn’t receive the leaflet.

I have been to Hong Kong many times before, and I have observed several peaceful demonstrations, but what I never expected was that Hong Kong would become like this. There are demonstrators every day, but they are actually thugs. They do things that have no bottom line, such as attacking the Liaison Office, smashing the base station, spilling ink on the national flag and so on. Once, I saw a 73-year-old man being blocked at the airport. The reason was that he did not receive their leaflets, but knocked them off. They chased the old man angrily and chased him out for hundreds of meters. They (demonstrators) are still "touching porcelain", lying on the ground, saying that the old man hit someone … While doing such a thing, they talk about "democracy and freedom", and the freedom in their hearts is "If you don’t agree with me, you should die and be beaten". How ridiculous this democracy is!

Scene 2: 2 million people marching? Mobs hold Hong Kong people hostage, causing dissatisfaction.

Hong Kong now has a population of about 7.5 million, and the opposition will make all the marchers bigger, saying that the water content has tripled. In this way, they are trying to make some Hong Kong people who don’t understand the actual situation mistakenly think, "Did I not attend? Did I miss something? Have I become a minority? " Thereby creating psychological pressure.

What we see in western media and Hong Kong media is absolutely untrue. In my opinion, many public opinions in Hong Kong have not been fully aroused. In the past, the people of Hong Kong did not dare to resist, because those thugs were armed to the teeth, and if you saw the tools they brought, you would shudder. For example, steel pipes, scissors, sharp pointed umbrellas, and hiking poles with sharp lower ends. The trekking poles have been snapped up by them. Who can be afraid of ordinary citizens? When they met, many ordinary citizens were silent, or wronged themselves and forced to make a statement.

Hong Kong demonstrators (real shot by Global Times reporter)

The opposition’s encirclement of Hong Kong people in this way has aroused people’s dissatisfaction and resistance. In local news reports, what you see is a full picture of the parade crowd, but what you can’t see is the businesses closed by the roadside due to the parade, the ordinary people who go to other places for vacation, the occupied subway station, and the scene where people can’t go to work. Forced to do nothing, the people of Hong Kong have begun to resist and dare to hit those men in black. They didn’t dare before, but now this happens, which shows that public opinion is gradually emerging.

Scene 3: "Without us, there would be no Hong Kong." The Hong Kong police are convinced that they have done the right thing.

Before, at the press conference held by the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, I thought it was particularly accurate to give high praise to the Hong Kong police. I saw some policemen in front, so I will tell you a detail. What is the temperature in Hong Kong in July and August? Even if you go out in short sleeves, you will get soaked immediately. The police in the street, especially riot police, are always armed to the teeth, covered up and wearing those big and heavy riot helmets when dealing with such things. Not only do they have to bear the mob attack, but the most hateful thing is that the personal information of the police, including the family members, has been started and spread on the Internet. A policeman’s family said, "I dare not order takeout because I am afraid of being poisoned."

Now the opposition in Hong Kong has directed public opinion against the police, which is very serious. In addition to high-intensity work, there are unfair trials by public opinion and the media, and you have to worry about the safety of your family. How long can this situation last? What the opposition wants most is to make the police crazy and become anarchy. An interviewee told me that the purpose of the opposition is to make the police unable to hold on and quit one day, so that Hong Kong will be really chaotic. Another policeman told me, "If there is no us in Hong Kong one day, there will be no us." He said this sentence really hides great heartache and worry.

Hong Kong police and children (real shot by Global Times reporter)

This photo is very informative: there are three parties, one is a child, such a small child, he should have watched the ball game and played games. It was during the summer vacation that he held up such a political slogan and directly accused the policeman of humiliating the Hong Kong police. Ironically, the policeman he scolded next to him had to protect his safety because the child was in the crowd. The policeman looked helpless, and everyone around him applauded the child. This makes this child have a very distorted value from an early age: am I doing this right? I talked to this policeman, "Do you feel the feeling that the child said?" He said, "I won’t feel ashamed. I know what they said is wrong." I think what he said is very weighty, which is an important reason why the police are still insisting on maintaining law and order, because the police know that there is 1.4 billion Chinese behind them. Mobs are losing popularity and their law enforcement is more decisive.

Scene 4: The mob pretends to be the victim, and the Western media "pulls the frame"

I say two things.

One is from Yuen Long. What they called "indiscriminate attacks" said that those people in white clothes were triads and beat people whenever they saw them. But the reality is that many people who were beaten by these people in white clothes were photographed before changing their black clothes in the subway and replacing them with ordinary people. The Hong Kong media did not see the mob provoking in advance, claiming to tear down the ancestral temple in Yuen Long. All I saw were people in white beating citizens, but before they threw things, provoked and besieged the village, neither Hong Kong media nor Western media could see them. This is an example of the media’s "bias".

Video screenshot of Yuen Long incident

Western media "biased" (real shot by Global Times reporter)

Another example is that when the police clear the scene, they always have to overcome it first. It is the camera of the media standing in front of the mob. All western media always aim at the police. They most want to see the scene where the police raise their guns, and then dim the light to make it evil. It seems that this is the police suppressing the citizens. They will never photograph those who are dressed in black, wearing masks, wearing sunglasses, holding sticks, stones and glasses in their hands. What is the video cut out like this? You can imagine. I saw some external forces and some western media in Hong Kong, and they were very guilty when they took pictures with their cameras. I once saw a foreigner holding a camera on his chest to shoot. Who would normally shoot like this? The Hong Kong police are also alert, and they will be reprimanded and leave immediately.

Lens 5: The national flag rises again, which is fair and comfortable.

When we learned that patriots would raise the national flag again where the mob threw it into the sea, the reporter in front of us had actually been busy all day, but he still stood there. At half past twelve at night, those patriots finally came and the national flag was raised again.

At that time, there was a female reporter with tears in her eyes. The people present spontaneously played the national anthem with their mobile phones and sang the national anthem together. In a distant place, there was a light in front of a small shop, and a Hong Kong citizen saluted the national flag at the door. Therefore, there are many patriots, so we should not be misled by the opposition and be fair and comfortable!

How to quickly identify and prevent illegal fund-raising in various forms and routines?

  Prevent illegal fund-raising and keep the "money bag"

  There are many illegal fund-raising routines.

  ● At present, illegal fund-raising cases mainly involve the following three forms: first, illegally absorbing funds by investing in shares; Second, illegally absorbing funds by means of entrusted financial management; Third, illegally absorb funds by means of commodity repurchase, consignment and sale.

  ● Pre-laws violated by illegal fund-raising mainly include laws and administrative regulations such as Commercial Bank Law, Insurance Law, Securities Law, Securities Investment Fund Law, Banking Supervision and Management Law and Measures for Banning Illegal Financial Institutions and Illegal Financial Business Activities.

  ● Before investing, the public must fully understand the company’s business and the products and services it provides, and know whether the enterprise has obtained the industrial and commercial business license, whether it has obtained the approval documents from the financial supervision department, and whether the investment field is safe and reliable.

  □ Our reporter Han Dandong

  □ Intern Liang Chen of this newspaper

  In recent years, with the improvement of people’s income level and the development of Internet technology, illegal fund-raising activities have occurred frequently. In addition to the traditional offline illegal fund-raising, there are many new forms, such as using P2P platform and paying deposit to do online tasks to earn extra money, which involve a wide range of contents and various forms of expression.

  Illegal fund-raising seriously interferes with the normal financial order, affects social harmony and stability, and becomes the key target of judicial organs.

  On June 1, 2020, the publicity month for preventing illegal fund-raising officially kicked off. This is the eighth publicity month to prevent illegal fund-raising, with the theme of "Keep your purse and protect your happy family".

  So, what are the main forms of illegal fund-raising? What laws will be violated? For the public, if they accidentally encounter illegal fund-raising, how can they protect their legitimate rights and interests, and how can they quickly identify and prevent them?

  Illegal fund-raising varies widely.

  Criminal acts are intertwined.

  On May 20th, the Economic Investigation Department of shenzhen public cracked an illegal fund-raising case with high returns by adopting crocodiles, involving an amount of about 89.159 million yuan.

  At the end of October last year, shenzhen public Economic Investigation Department, Nanshan Police Station and other units successively received reports from investors that the "Crocodile Treasure" P2P platform operated by Shenzhen Crocodile Treasure Technology Co., Ltd. issued an announcement, and the Crocodile Treasure Platform was shut down from October 21, 2019, and the functions of platform recharge, bid opening and cash withdrawal stopped, making it impossible for investors to withdraw their investment funds.

  It is reported that the Crocodile Treasure Platform was launched in November 2016, focusing on investing in crocodile-related products. The specific operation mode is that investors invest in the platform in the form of adopting crocodiles of Guangdong Hongyi Crocodile Industry Co., Ltd., and the platform promises to protect the capital and pay interest.

  This is just the tip of the iceberg in the current case of illegal fund-raising.

  According to Li Geqi, procurator of the Third Department of the People’s Procuratorate of Songjiang District, Shanghai, at present, cases of illegal fund-raising mainly involve the following forms:

  First, illegally absorb funds by investing in shares. Criminal suspects often use the equity incentive mechanism under the guise of equity subscription to promise investors high dividend income and attract investors to invest.

  Second, illegally absorb funds by entrusting financial management. In view of the investment psychology of ordinary people, criminal suspects absorb funds by means of personal loans and promise high returns. Investors hope to concentrate on the advantages of funds to obtain higher return on investment, but in fact, in order to obtain high profits, suspects often invest the absorbed money in high-risk investment fields such as other P2P platforms, and the final result is often nothing.

  Third, illegally absorbing funds by means of commodity repurchase, consignment for sale, etc., without the real content of selling goods or providing services or with the main purpose of selling goods and providing services. In this kind of case, the criminal suspect apparently set up a company to sell goods or provide services. In fact, he didn’t want to make profits by consumers buying goods or receiving services, but promised to protect the principal and interest by promising investors to buy back goods at maturity or storing them for sale, taking advantage of investors’ profit-making psychology, defrauding investors’ trust and absorbing public deposits in disguise.

  "The crocodile treasure platform belongs to the third form." Li Gezhen said.

  According to Zheng Ning, director of the Law Department of the School of Cultural Industry Management, Communication University of China, from the current case, it mainly includes creditor’s rights, equity, commodity marketing, production and operation. Specifically, it includes: illegally raising funds in the name of expanding production and operation, investing in high-tech development, ecological environmental protection and energy projects; Apply the concept of Internet financial innovation, set up so-called P2P and other peer-to-peer lending platforms, and adopt fictitious borrowers and the use of funds to illegally raise funds; Non-financing guarantee enterprises illegally raise funds in the name of carrying out guarantee business or investment; In the name of investing in old-age apartments and joint care in different places, with high returns and providing old-age services as bait, the elderly people are lured to "join in investment" for illegal fund-raising.

  Zheng Ning said that in addition, under the banner of overseas investment and high-tech development, fake or fictional internationally renowned companies set up websites, fictitious the prospect of equity listing and appreciation, or promised high expected returns for illegal fund-raising; By looking for agents in various places and setting up branches in a wider area, a multi-level and wide-ranging illegal fund-raising criminal network is formed to carry out illegal fund-raising activities; Illegal fund-raising in the name of issuing or disguised shares, bonds, lottery tickets, investment funds and other rights certificates or futures trading or pawn; Use network technology to construct "virtual" products, invest in entrusted operation, repurchase at maturity and other ways to raise funds illegally; Illegal fund-raising is carried out by means of commodity sales and leaseback, repurchase and transfer, membership development, business joining and "quick integral method".

  In Zheng Ning’s view, with the continuous evolution of criminal means, three new features have emerged in illegal fund-raising:

  First, the ways of illegal fund-raising are varied. Criminals have registered legitimate companies or enterprises, and under the banner of responding to national industrial policies and supporting the construction of new countryside, they have changed from traditional planting and breeding to engineering projects, scientific and technological development, investment in shares, and consumer rebates.

  Second, a variety of criminal acts are intertwined. Criminals interweave illegal fund-raising with pyramid schemes, contract fraud and other economic crimes. They use pyramid schemes to brainwash fund-raisers first, promise various preferential conditions and profit models, and then lure fund-raising and set them up layer by layer. Generally, in the initial stage of fund-raising, criminals often actively "honor" the promise of return, defraud the trust, attract more people to join, and the scale of fund-raising is rapidly enlarged geometrically.

  Third, illegal fund-raising publicity at all costs, using the media to create momentum. Such as hiring celebrity endorsements, publishing exclusive articles in some media, and using reports to publicize the "performance" of illegal enterprises; Put some illegal fund-raising funds into public welfare undertakings or make donations; Hire salesmen to rush into the community to distribute leaflets and spread fund-raising information; Organize various activities, and cash dividends on the spot, so that participants can taste the sweetness first and publicize the "appearance statement" for illegal fund-raising activities.

  Give prominence to key points and prevent early attacks and small ones.

  Clear division of labor and strengthen cooperation

  Li Geqi analyzed that illegal fund-raising also has distinct characteristics of secondary illegality. The pre-existing laws violated by it mainly include commercial banking law, insurance law, securities law, securities investment fund law, banking supervision and management law and measures for banning illegal financial institutions and illegal financial business activities and other laws and administrative regulations. The criminal laws involved are mainly the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, the crime of issuing stocks, corporate bonds and fund-raising fraud without authorization.

  In Zheng Ning’s view, those who engage in illegal fund-raising activities should be given administrative penalties such as confiscation of illegal income, fines and banning of institutions engaged in illegal financial business, and those who constitute a crime should be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. Participation in illegal fund-raising activities is not protected by law.

  According to Zheng Ning, the relevant laws clearly stipulate that the losses incurred by participating in illegal public deposits and illegal fund-raising activities shall be borne by the participants themselves, and the debts and risks formed shall not be passed on to the state-owned banks, other financial institutions and any other units that have not participated in illegal public deposits and illegal fund-raising activities. After the liquidation of creditor’s rights and debts, if there is any illegal property left, it shall be confiscated and turned over to the central treasury on the spot. In the process of banning illegal absorption of public deposits and illegal fund-raising activities, local governments are only responsible for organizing and coordinating work, and cannot adopt financial allocation to make up for the losses caused by illegal fund-raising.

  To prevent and combat illegal fund-raising, Zheng Ning suggested:

  First of all, highlight the key points and prevent early strikes. It is necessary to highlight peer-to-peer lending, private equity funds, pension services, virtual currency, e-commerce and other industries, highlight key groups such as the elderly and young students, highlight key areas such as station squares, market business districts and elevators, and do a good job in publicity and education.

  Secondly, clear division of labor and strengthen cooperation. It is necessary to pay equal attention to territorial management responsibility and industry supervision responsibility, strengthen cross-departmental and cross-regional cooperation among member units and counties to prevent and combat illegal fund-raising, and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of publicity and education on preventing and combating illegal fund-raising.

  Finally, adjust measures to local conditions and pay attention to actual results. It is necessary to broaden the channels and enrich the forms of publicity.

  In Li Geqi’s view, in preventing illegal fund-raising crimes, the government and relevant departments should further strengthen public opinion propaganda so that ordinary people can fully understand the lure and deception of illegal fund-raising; For the administrative department for industry and commerce, the audit of company establishment should be strengthened. If it is found that a company lacks physical business activities and is suspected of illegal fund-raising, it should not be approved for establishment, and if it has been established, it should be shut down in time. In cracking down on illegal fund-raising criminal activities, the judicial organs should comprehensively collect relevant evidence, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors, and truly do nothing wrong.

  Middle-aged and elderly people are easily deceived.

  Carefully identify prudent investments.

  The public interviewed randomly by the reporter of Legal Daily is more curious about who is more likely to be the focus of illegal fund-raising and what characteristics the victims of illegal fund-raising generally have.

  In this regard, Li Geqi said that the targets of illegal fund-raising activities are mainly those groups with willingness to invest, idle funds and lack of understanding of new investment models such as Internet finance. In judicial practice, middle-aged and elderly people are more easily confused by illegal fund-raising activities. Because this part of the group generally has a certain economic foundation and willingness to invest, but the investment channels in society are relatively scarce, and this part of the group has a low ability to resist risks and is unwilling to bear higher risks, and the bank’s wealth management products have either lower interest rates or higher risks, so illegal fund-raising investment activities that promise to protect capital and interest meet the investment psychology of this group to some extent.

  In Zheng Ning’s view, at present, the fields with high financial risks such as illegal fund-raising include financing intermediaries, peer-to-peer lending, private equity funds, film and television culture, wholesale and retail, e-commerce, real estate, trading places, agricultural cooperation organizations, resource development, old-age care services, medical care, private education and other industries.

  "Most people who are most likely to be deceived are left-behind elderly people, migrant workers, college students, retirees and other groups." Zheng Ning said that most of these people have two characteristics. First, they have a lot of idle funds in their hands and are eager for stable and high-yield investment channels; Second, there is a folk lending custom in the human society, and the victims have personal trust in the illegal depositors. No matter whether people encounter difficulties in life or production, the first thing they think of is to turn to relatives and friends for help to tide over the difficulties. If there is a way to get rich, they need to raise funds, and it is even more necessary to "share the blessings", attract acquaintances to join in, and acquaintances find acquaintances again, forming a direct and indirect human network.

  So, how should the public quickly identify and prevent illegal fund-raising? If you accidentally encounter illegal fund raising, how can you protect your legitimate rights and interests?

  "Before investing, the public must fully understand the company’s business and the products and services it provides, and know whether the company has obtained the industrial and commercial business license, whether it has obtained the approval documents from the financial supervision department, and whether the investment field is safe and reliable." Zheng Ning said.

  Li Geqi suggested that the public should first recognize the nature and harm of illegal fund-raising, consciously resist all kinds of temptations, calmly analyze investment projects with high returns and get rich quickly, and avoid being deceived. Secondly, when investing, we should fully understand the content of investment and the qualifications of enterprises, and combine the characteristics of illegal fund-raising, focusing on whether the fund-raising activities are approved and whether high returns are promised. For those investments that have no physical business activities and promise high returns, we should be vigilant. Generally speaking, investors should be extra careful when the investment interest rate is higher than 10%. Finally, to enhance the awareness of rational investment, high returns are often accompanied by high risks, which need to be carefully identified and carefully invested.

  Li Geqi said that if you accidentally encounter illegal fund-raising, you should keep relevant evidence in time and call the police in time. In particular, important investment vouchers such as investment contracts, receipts, agreements and payment vouchers must be properly kept by investors. In addition, in practice, it is often because of the delay in reporting the case by investors that the judicial organs can’t seize the relevant evidence at the first time, and finally because of the loss of important evidence, the relevant personnel can’t be held accountable.

Guan Jinpeng: Mainland films follow suit, unhealthy capital is too involved in creation.


Special feature of 1905 film network In recent years, Guan Jinpeng, who mainly produces films in the Mainland, returned to Hong Kong to shoot a short film "This is the case", which reflects the connection between people through the studio. At the premiere of the short film, Guan Jinpeng said: "I am very happy to be back in Hong Kong to make a short film, and the script has not been reviewed." The audience applauded and were as happy as he was.

 

It was also at this time that Guan Jinpeng revealed that his new film had been suspended, and Zhao Wei and Chen Chong had been decided to star in the film. However, due to the lack of confidence of investors in the commercial prospects of the film, it was unsustainable, and Guan Jinpeng and screenwriter Li Yong decided to stop.

 

"The environment in the mainland is a bit chaotic, so forget it if you can’t make a film." Guan Jinpeng is calm about the current situation, but he doesn’t want to lower his demands and make the feature film smaller. "Sometimes I ask myself, if someone gives you HK$ 3 million or HK$ 5 million, can you shoot it? You still want Zhang Shuping to help you as an artist and do editing for you, and Li Pingbin to be a photographer, but this is actually very impractical. In the past, I used such money to make movies. Now it is more difficult to go back and use two or three million to make movies. "

 

Interview record

 

1905 Movie Network: Why is "It’s like this" so superficial in expressing everyone’s fate?

 

Guan Jinpeng: That’s the way it is. There are many things in people’s lives that are helpless or not necessarily solvable. I haven’t filmed in Hong Kong for a long time. After so many things happened in Hong Kong last year, I think as a Hong Kong person, I must accept the invitation of the film festival, and this short film is not subject to any market restrictions, and there is no need to approve the script.

  

1905 Movie Network: Do you want to reflect this society through some subtle characters?

 

Guan Jinpeng: I think it doesn’t matter if you look at it this way. For example, there is Cecilia Yip, an actor who was popular in the 1980s and 1990s and now wants to be a supporting actor. There are not many opportunities. Then there was director Luo Dong, a mainland director and his assistant, etc. This Hong Kong has also changed in recent years. It is normal for us to walk on the road, sit on the subway and sit on the bus and hear a lot of Putonghua sounds.

   

1905 Movie Network: When it comes to Cecilia Yip, will she be worried that she won’t accept such a role?

 

Guan Jinpeng: I think Cecilia Yip is a very optimistic person. Do you think she doesn’t know that she is not Cecilia Yip when she was young? Now I see her go to the mainland to play a TV series. Yes, everyone still remembers Xu Xian, but I think there will be a kind of loneliness. But she has a good attitude, and she is very calm about it.

 

1905 Movie Network: Is her marital status better than that in the film?

 

Guan Jinpeng: She is now playing music with her husband and some friends. Her married life is very happy. She had some red wine after dinner with us the night before yesterday, and went back to her husband’s home to sleep, but when she was in the mood, she woke her husband up and continued to drink. They were really interesting.

 

1905 Movie Network: What are the advantages of making short films compared with making long films?

 

Guan Jinpeng: First of all, I don’t think there is much pressure. Maybe you have to be very accurate in the budget, because there is not much money. On the whole scale, I think it is more interesting to control, and films like this film festival, I think it can let me find the feeling of making a pure short film.

   

1905 Movie Network: If it is a feature film, you may need to give everyone an answer, but short films don’t.

 

Guan Jinpeng: Yes, yes, I always think there should be blank space in movies. Blank space in movies is a precious thing.

 

1905 Movie Network: Now the audience may not know clearly the blank space, and some may think that the film is a bad ending.

 

Guan Jinpeng: Yes, the Hong Kong Film Festival has been going on for 40 years. In 1976, when we were still in middle school and college, we were always influenced by the Hong Kong Film Festival to watch many different kinds of movies.

 

Now I think it’s unhealthy in the mainland, that is, it’s not diversified. When a certain type of movie is on fire, it will follow suit. IP is on the lips, and a song can become an IP, and then it’s more about capital operation. Capital operation is not wrong, but I think we should put more operation on content, that is, the requirements of the script.

   

1905 Movie Network: Before the term microfilm was born, there were short films, but when it comes to microfilm in the mainland, there will still be mixed situations, and many of them play erotic sideline.

 

Guan Jinpeng: Microfilm provides a way out, especially for many young people. You can take a machine at will and even shoot it with your mobile phone. But in fact, it’s still a question of whether the creative purpose is pure or not. For example, some online dramas that have been taken off the shelves recently, I really think it’s too much. In fact, it provides a good opportunity for young people to do some micro-movies, but there are also some capitals to step in and do something too much.

   

1905 Movie Network: Have you directed fewer works these years?

   

Guan Jinpeng: I think the environment in the Mainland is a bit chaotic. How can I put it? Just don’t shoot it.

 

1905 Movie Network: No desire to create?

 

Guan Jinpeng: No, I have a desire to create. I shot two advertisements two years ago, also in the form of micro-movies. The two advertisements were shot for two or three days, which made me feel the same on the set. Still so happy to be a director.

   

1905 Movie Network: Why not consider making a movie released only in Hong Kong? The pressure may be less.

 

Guan Jinpeng: I believe this can be done for some young directors. Sometimes I ask myself, if someone gives you HK$ 3 million or HK$ 5 million, can you shoot? You still want Zhang Shuping to be your artist, Zhang Shuping to be your editor, and then you want Li Pingbin to be your photographer, but this is not practical.

 

But the problem is that I have worked for so many years, and I have a bottom line, or I think it is necessary to have a tacit understanding to cooperate with the main creative. Even with this kind of money, it’s hard to go back and say that two or three million dollars is a movie.
