　　　　　　　　At 1: 00 noon on January 24, from the Phoenix Mountain in the north of Dazhou, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province is like being immersed in a foggy bathhouse. According to the real-time data of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the AQI of Dazhou is 343, and the PM2.5 is 270, both of which are serious pollution.

　　　　　　　　After Dazhou vigorously rectified smoked bacon for half a month, the smell of bacon has disappeared in the main city, but the air pollution is still serious.

　　　　　　　　On January 4th, the local media in Dazhou published a report that smoked bacon was the main cause of smog. After online fermentation, this little-known small town in eastern Sichuan was put in public opinion. Some netizens feel that every city’s PM2.5 has its own taste, while Dazhou is bacon.

　　　　　　　　The uproar of public opinion has obscured two essential questions: Why did the unknown Dazhou suddenly become a "polluted town"? What is the main cause of air pollution?

　　　　　　　　A background is unavoidable. From January 1, 2015, Dazhou began to release AQI (air quality index) and PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) data according to the new Ambient Air Quality Standard adopted in 2012. Just like looking at a demon mirror, the new standard exposes these cities that have been polluted for many years and have not been included in the evaluation system of the new standard to the public.

　　　　　　　　The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) visited and compared a number of monitoring data, and found that a key enterprise with high energy consumption and high pollution, Dazhou Iron and Steel Group (hereinafter referred to as Dagang), was hidden behind the smoke of smoked bacon, which was generally considered as the culprit of air pollution in Dazhou.

　　　　　　　　Dagang has been rooted in Dazhou for more than 50 years, and the annual tax contribution of hundreds of millions accounts for one-third of the city’s finance. However, its pollution over the years has also become a "heart disease" from the secretary of the municipal party Committee to the ordinary citizens.

　　　　　　　　If every city’s PM2.5 has its own flavor, then Dazhou is definitely not bacon flavor, but steel flavor.

Dazhou Environment Exposed under New Environmental Standards

　　　　　　　　The theory of "smoked bacon" originated from Dazhou Evening News. On January 4th, Dazhou Evening News published a report with the subtitle "Environmental protection department investigates the source of pollution, and citizens smoked bacon is the main reason", which was later reprinted by several websites.

　　　　　　　　The Paper reporter inquired about the test data released by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and found that Dazhou was heavily polluted on January 1, and the pollution continued to increase on January 2. At 8 o’clock that night, AQI soared to 471, ranking the second lowest in the country, which was a serious pollution level. At the same time, PM2.5 soared to 526 (the one-hour average of all monitoring points), and the monitoring icon was darkened, which means that the monitoring data has been off the charts (that is, beyond the range of the conventional air quality index table).

　　　　　　　　It is worth mentioning that on June 1, 2014, Dazhou began to implement the new Ambient Air Quality Standard, and the form of air quality monitoring and evaluation has entered the era of air quality index (AQI) from the era of air pollution index (API). Its biggest highlight is that three monitoring contents including PM2.5 have been added.

　　　　　　　　On December 30, 2014, the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that from January 1, 2015, 1,436 monitoring points in 338 cities above the prefecture level in China will all carry out the monitoring of new air quality standards, and the monitoring data will be published in real time. Dazhou ranks among 338 cities.

　　　　　　　　According to public data, the air quality released by Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau was mostly excellent or good before the new standard data was released. An official of Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau, who asked not to be named, said that the previous monitoring of particulate matter was PM10 (that is, inhalable particulate matter), and the monitoring data obtained were ideal because of its relatively low concentration.

　　　　　　　　Zhang Yi, head of the Law and Publicity Department of Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau, told The Paper that in order to cope with the relatively stringent new standards, many construction sites in Dazhou were required to stop work from the end of December 2014. "All law enforcement officers were out patrolling every day in those days."

　　　　　　　　The new standard looks like a mirror, exposing the environmental ills that have been hidden for many years. The day after the new standard monitoring data was released, Dazhou PM2.5 was already in off the charts.

　　　　　　　　On January 3rd, the environmental protection departments of Dazhou City and District jointly investigated the pollution sources. In a TV program, Rao Bing, deputy director and spokesperson of Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau, made an analysis. There are three main reasons for air pollution. One is the smoke and dust emitted by pollutants from surrounding industrial enterprises, the other is the dust from road transportation and construction, and the third is the unfavorable meteorological conditions after entering winter, which makes pollutants difficult to dilute, spread and degrade. Rao Bing then added, "In addition, it is now the season of smoked bacon, and the general public does not regulate smoked bacon, which has aggravated the pollution of air quality."

　　　　　　　　However, the Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau has always remained silent about the popular saying that "Dazhou believes that smoked bacon causes smog". Rao Bing, deputy director of the bureau, replied to the The Paper reporter that he had been interviewed by local TV stations several times and "never said that smoked bacon was the main cause of smog". In addition, he has never been interviewed on this matter, and the main reason is unknown.

　　　　　　　　Regarding why he didn’t choose to rumor, Rao Bing explained that "the more he explains, the more unclear he is."

Break the smoking stove with a hammer.

　　　　　　　　Data off the charts makes Dazhou environmental protection department "on pins and needles". "In those days, we became the Environmental Protection Bureau on the tip of our tongue, and everyone was talking about it, and we couldn’t even sleep," said a person in charge of the pollution prevention department of Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau.

　　　　　　　　Under the pressure of public opinion, Dazhou environmental protection joint urban management and other departments began to rectify the phenomenon of illegal bacon smoking and closed a number of bacon smoking factories. In the program of local TV station, law enforcement officers smashed the smoking stoves built by some residents privately with hammers.

　　　　　　　　To this end, Dazhou has specially planned eight centralized smoked bacon points, but because of the remote location and the need to charge, there are few people. The person in charge of the pollution prevention department said frankly that this work was opposed by many citizens and was often abused. Even in the process of persuasion, a law enforcement officer clashed with the citizens and his finger was broken.

　　　　　　　　During an interview with The Paper, the person in charge pointed to a smoking floor opposite the Environmental Protection Bureau, saying that someone was smoking bacon again, and called a person in charge of Dazhou Urban Management Bureau face to face to coordinate the investigation.

　　　　　　　　On January 26th, the reporter from The Paper visited Dazhou City, but he couldn’t see the privately built smoking point, nor did he see the publicly sold smoking materials such as Boya, which were everywhere in previous years. The rectification action drove away the smell of bacon, but it did not fundamentally reverse the reality of air pollution in Dazhou.

　　　　　　　　As of January 29th, there were 18 days of severe and above pollution in Dazhou in January, including 3 days of severe pollution. The environmental protection department, which has nothing to do, can only turn to artificial rainfall. According to the data of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the air quality in Dazhou was good on January 6 and January 7, during which artificial rainfall was implemented in Dazhou.

　　　　　　　　However, after the rain cleared, AQI began to climb again and maintained heavy pollution.

　　　　　　　　According to the analysis of the officials of Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau, smoked bacon will push up PM2.5, but the impact is not great. The air pollution in Dazhou is related to the urban population, motor vehicles and the geographical environment surrounded by mountains and poor air circulation.

A "heart disease" from official to folk

　　　　　　　　A number of officials from Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau told The Paper that the smog weather is the result of various factors including smoked bacon, and as for the proportion of each factor, the source of pollutants needs to be analyzed. Because Dazhou does not have such hardware conditions, it is impossible to give an accurate answer.

　　　　　　　　However, the head of the Bureau’s Pollution Prevention Division told The Paper that "the main reason is industrial pollution". In Dazhou, the key industrial enterprise is Dagang, the largest high-energy and high-pollution enterprise near the main city. In fact, the air impact of Dagang on Dazhou has long been a "heart disease" from the official to the private sector.

　　　　　　　　According to public information, Dagang covers an area of nearly 2,000 mu, with more than 7,000 employees and an annual output of 3.5 million tons of pig iron. The waste gas pollutants emitted by Dagang mainly include soot, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and so on. These three pollutants are the main indicators referenced by AQI, and smoke and dust are the main monitoring objects of PM2.5

　　　　　　　　Dagang was founded in 1958, which was the era of "steel refining" in China. Dagang was the first enterprise with an annual output value of over 10 billion in Dazhou, and its tax contribution accounted for more than 50% of the city’s fiscal revenue at its peak. Many years ago, Dazhou people were proud of their work in Jinda Steel, but with the extension of the city scale, their pollution problems are increasingly causing dissatisfaction.

　　　　　　　　On the afternoon of January 25th, a reporter from The Paper came to Dagang Park in the western area of Dazhou. It is adjacent to the Zhouhe River, and there are many buildings and commercial areas nearby. The huge chimneys vomit white smoke, slowly rising into the air and gradually spreading out, which is even with the gray sky. The data shows that the air quality in Dagang area is obviously worse than that in other surrounding areas.

　　　　　　　　At present, there are 6 air quality monitoring points in Dazhou, among which Dazhou Vocational and Technical College, Municipal Environmental Monitoring Station, Municipal Center, Daxian Government Hotel and Fenghuang Community have all been incorporated into the monitoring network of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

　　　　　　　　The monitoring point of the municipal center is next to Dagang. The multi-day data of five monitoring points show that the AQI and PM2.5 of the municipal center monitoring point are generally higher than those of other monitoring points, and show a trend of higher at night than during the day. Previously, some villagers questioned the existence of smuggling in Dagang. "White smoke comes out during the day, sometimes it turns yellow at night, and blue fire comes out of the chimney."

　　　　　　　　At 2 pm on January 25, The Paper reporter observed near the west gate of Dagang. At that time, the PM2.5 at the monitoring point of the municipal center was 203, and the PM2.5 at the other four points was below 200; At 0: 00 a.m. on January 26th, the reporter came to the same place again and obviously felt a pungent smell. A chimney in Dagang Park spewed blue flames. At this time, the PM2.5 of the municipal center monitoring point is 291, which is also higher than the other four monitoring points.

　　　　　　　　The data also showed that at 8: 00 pm on January 2, when PM2.5 was in off the charts, among the five monitoring points, the eight-hour average values of PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and ozone at the municipal center monitoring point were higher than those at the other four monitoring points. Among them, PM2.5 is as high as 685 and PM10 is as high as 917.

　　　　　　　　In Linjiang Village, opposite the Dagang Industrial Park, a huge roar surrounded the village. A villager said that as early as a few years ago, the pollution was more serious, "every day is like shooting." Nowadays, the smoke is still very heavy. "The washed clothes are afraid to hang outside, and they have to be washed again after drying." He didn’t want to be named because his relatives worked in Dagang.

　　　　　　　　"It is also the biggest headache for us, with the most complaints every year." Zhang Yi told The Paper that last year, Dagang was fined 70,000 yuan for illegal sewage discharge.

Dagang’s sewage discharge was named by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

　　　　　　　　An insider of Dagang told The Paper that in order to save the cost of purification equipment, there was an illegal discharge at night. However, Wang Huaiyun, chairman of Dagang Group, declined The Paper’s interview on the phone, and many staff members of Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau also denied it. "When we went to check, all its emissions were up to standard."

　　　　　　　　In May 2010, the Ministry of Environmental Protection published a list of regions and enterprises with outstanding problems in urban sewage treatment, construction and operation of desulfurization facilities, and Dagang was among them.

　　　　　　　　According to Dazhou Evening News, on April 17, 2014, the interview team of Dazhou Environmental Protection Century Bank found near Gexi Bridge in Xiwai Town, Tongda, that a subsidiary of Dagang failed to meet the standards in the production process, resulting in serious environmental pollution. "Yellow smoke billowed into the sky, and the whole factory was shrouded in smoke".

　　　　　　　　Dazhou Environmental Protection Bureau also admitted that there is still a gap between the air near Dagang and the expectations of the public. Zhang Yi told The Paper that meeting the discharge standards does not mean that there is no pollution at all, and the environmental protection department can only deal with its illegal discharge and over-discharge.

　　　　　　　　"There is no other way except to move." Zhang Yi said.

　　　　　　　　In fact, the call for the relocation of Dagang has been around for a long time, and the surrounding villagers told The Paper that "they said they would move decades ago".

　　　　　　　　On January 11th, 2011, He Jian, then mayor of Dazhou, told reporters that in 2010, we made a very difficult decision: the newly revised Dazhou master plan decided to relocate Dazhou Iron and Steel Company from Dazhou city to industrial park in about 10 years, and to provide a clean environment for Dazhou people.

　　　　　　　　In 2013, Dazhou listed the relocation and transformation project of Dagang as one of the 25 major projects in the city, and issued the Work Plan for Promoting the Relocation and Transformation of Dagang Group.

　　　　　　　　On January 29th, a person in charge of the press department of Dagang told The Paper that the relocation plan was still "on the agenda" and the site selection had not been finalized. She said that due to the poor environment of the steel market, Dagang had a hard time, and had to rely on the support of other businesses of the group. The relocation required too much money.

　　University is the cradle of cultivating talents and the paradise of building artistic dreams. College students’ drama and campus drama are important parts of drama art. In 2001, a group of college students from China Renmin University, Beijing Institute of Technology and other universities, with the lead support of Beijing Dramatists Association, opened the prelude of the first college students’ drama festival in the 21st century in Beijing People’s Art Theater, and Beijing college students’ drama activities began a new course of going out of campus and integrating into society.

　　In 2008, the China Campus Drama Festival was founded by the Chinese Drama Association, which led the college students’ drama festival to a higher standard and continued the inclusiveness of the college students’ drama festival, and became a national drama activity welcomed by college teachers and students all over the country. Today, the college drama festival named "Golden Hedgehog" has gone through 20 years. In the past 20 years, a total of 32 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, more than 1,100 universities and colleges, more than 1,300 drama clubs, 275 plays, 25,000 college students, more than 100 experts and professors and more than 1,000 volunteers participated in the "Golden Hedgehog" activity, and the radiation crowd accumulated more than 600,000 people.

　　The College Students’ Drama Festival has grown into a platform for campus cultural exchange that can’t be ignored, and has become an important part of contemporary China drama. During the transition period of China’s drama development, it not only cultivated a new audience group, but also promoted the vigorous development of China’s drama in the new century. On the platform of drama festival, it helped the comprehensive youth creative group to become the creative force of China’s contemporary drama and enriched the stage performance of China’s contemporary drama.

　　A few days ago, under the guidance of the International Department of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the International Forum on Campus Drama in the New Century was held, which was co-sponsored by the Chinese Dramatists Association and the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles and hosted by the Beijing Dramatists Association. Experts and scholars from China, Japan and other countries jointly reviewed the development of campus drama and exchanged experiences in the development of campus drama in different countries.

　　College students’ drama is the cradle of China’s drama.

　　"If campus life must be an indispensable thing, I think it must be a drama. Campus is the soil that breeds ideological progress, and college students are the leaders of ideological emancipation. " At the forum, Su Sheqin, the second inspector of Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said that college students’ drama is the cradle of China’s drama and has always been accompanied by the development and growth of China’s drama. Countless outstanding dramatic works such as The Black Slave’s Call to Heaven, In the Silent Place, etc. first moved from campus to China. College students naturally like to use the power of action to express their feelings and demands in a dramatic way.

　　Perhaps the stage conditions are simple, but college students are passionate and full of passion. They paint their dreams and fly with youth on the stage with sincere emotions and simple performances. In the new century, more and more college students are fond of drama. They have their own drama club and devoted themselves to the creation of drama.

　　"Drama has a unique advantage in campus art." Lin Yinyu, a drama director and educator, and a member of the Chinese Dramatists Association, said that drama has no strict requirements on the natural attributes of the participants, and there is no euphemistic voice, the proportion of short legs and long legs, the palm is not wide and the fingers are not long, and it cannot span eight keys, and it is weak in color, tone-deaf, and the figure is not beautiful and graceful … … Such ordinary people can also take part in theatrical performances. More importantly, it is human nature to play. People in any society will change freely in different identities subconsciously and unconsciously. Therefore, drama is more grounded, worldly and easy to get started than other art categories. Therefore, campus drama can occupy a large proportion in the university campus and enjoy more attention.

　　As Yue Guangwen, a professor majoring in stage performance at Japan’s Tongpeng Academy of Fine Arts, said: The value of students’ drama and art lies in being able to devote themselves to creation without considering commercial factors. It is in this innate advantage that the campus provides the simplicity and purity that drama is most needed for artistic creation. "The purity and passion in college students’ drama is also the essential strength of drama." Feng Yuanzheng, a drama actor and vice president of Beijing People’s Arts, pointed out that young students should always keep their passion, and Do not forget your initiative mind will promote the progress of China’s drama career with the truest, simplest and most unique expression.

　　It shows the spiritual outlook and aesthetic pursuit of contemporary college students.

　　Yue Guangwen said that in the university performance class he taught, he would first give students a topic of self-portrait and ask them to create a monologue. "Because I hope that before playing others, that is, playing the given role, every student needs to face himself first, explore what kind of endowment he has while experiencing his own life, and then play others and play the given role." Dramas and other literary and artistic works with content first determine that the creators should first understand life and comprehend it, and then give their own thoughts to the works, which also determines that the dramatic works reflect the creators’ ideological style, personality, ideals and beliefs to a certain extent, and college students’ dramas are spontaneously created by themselves, which can better reflect this.

　　"Campus drama activities are like a mirror, which enables us to glimpse the spiritual outlook and aesthetic pursuit of contemporary college students." Feng Yuanzheng pointed out.

　　"The campus drama itself enlivens the campus atmosphere in which college students live and enriches campus life; The interpretation and rehearsal of western drama broadens the artistic vision of college students; The creation and rehearsal of contemporary realistic dramas have promoted college students to pay attention to social phenomena, explore social problems, and think about life, human nature and people’s living conditions. The exquisiteness and profundity of classic drama works at all times and at all times attracts campus dramatists and drama participants, and promotes the young people’s understanding of historical connotations and mysteries of life. " Lin Yinyu pointed out.

　　College students’ drama has contributed to the drama stage of the new generation and provided the backup force for the future drama stage. From these figures, we can clearly see the healthy upward and deep thinking of college students in the new era.

　　"Campus drama is undoubtedly a pure land. In drama, college students experience life, experience themselves and find telepathy about happiness. Most college students who are active on the stage today may choose to engage in other careers in the future, but the experience they have gained from drama activities will provide them with many life lessons, and society has also gained confidence in the times and the future from college students’ drama practice. " Song Baozhen, director of the Drama Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art, pointed out.

　　Make an indispensable contribution to the prosperity of drama.

　　As Feng Yuanzheng said: "Campus drama makes people look forward to the future of China’s drama." Drama Festival has played an important role in attracting and encouraging drama creators on campus, and discovering and promoting outstanding drama talents. "Some drama lovers have embarked on the road of specialization since then. Ying Huang, Zhao Miao, Shao Zehui, Wang Hao, Gu Lei, etc., who are now active in the drama stage, are all drama talents who stand out from the drama festival. They are continuing their drama ideals with excellent works." Feng Yuanzheng said.

　　More importantly, these campus drama activities have also cultivated a large number of high-quality drama audiences and contributed to the drama ecological construction of the campus and even the whole society.

　　Yang Ganwu, vice chairman of Beijing Dramatists Association, pointed out that the purity of college students’ drama creation and the vivid expression of their thoughts are surprising. Compared with the depression of some professional theater groups, campus drama is full of vitality and hope.

　　College students’ drama festival comes at the right time, which provides an important platform for opening up the new path of drama popularization education in the new century and is becoming an indispensable existence for cultivating the drama culture market and promoting drama culture. Hu Wei, a professor at the Department of Drama and Literature of the Central Academy of Drama, pointed out: College students’ drama has gone out of campus, stepped into the society, and integrated into the field of professional drama, breaking the long-standing barrier of so-called professionalism and amateurism, popularizing and disseminating drama culture, cultivating several generations of young drama audiences, and laying the foundation for establishing an ecological chain for the development of drama culture.

　　Many creators who are active in "Youth Drama Festival" are important forces in college students’ dramas. Tao Qingmei, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that Lv Xiaoping, as a teacher of Nantah College of Literature, took the drama and film major of Nanjing University as a position, which not only promoted the development of students such as Zhu Yi and Wen Fangyi to professional playwrights, but also promoted the creation of students in Nanjing University in the contemporary drama environment. Wen Fangyi’s drama "Face of Jiang Gong" is still on tour. After graduating from China University of Mining and Technology, Zhou Guangwei, the screenwriter of the campus drama "Chen She Family", entered the research institute of local drama, and his play "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" cooperated with Peking Opera Theatre was widely praised.

　　As summarized by Yang Ganwu, college students’ drama is a youthful force that is not dominated by commerce and consumption. It can maintain a pure and detached artistic attitude and a greater original creativity, thus providing a unique spiritual nourishment for the drama ecology. College students are a rising group of young intellectuals, who represent the future of the motherland, and their academic cultivation and artistic temperament will greatly affect the future direction of literature and art. College students’ enthusiasm and devotion to drama will affect the future fate and future of drama. We earnestly hope that the new generation of college students will live up to expectations, surpass themselves, be brave enough to take responsibility and inject vitality into the drama of the new era tomorrow.

　　(Reporter Li Jinrong correspondent Tan Tianhui)

　　Vanke held the 2023 annual performance promotion meeting online today. Zhu Jiusheng, president and CEO of Vanke Group, said at the meeting that, on the whole, the company still maintained and held the safety bottom line under the background of deep adjustment of the industry. Although the pressure on some short-term indicators, such as cash in hand and short-term debt ratio, has increased, these challenges are staged, and the company has made positive responses and received strong support from Shenzhen state-owned assets, major shareholders and financial institutions. Vanke has the confidence and ability to meet the current challenges.

　　Zhu Jiusheng also said that Shenzhen Metro, Vanke’s major shareholder, is about to complete substantial support of tens of billions, and the new sources of funds are sufficient, and the original gap will certainly be made up.

　　Zhu Jiusheng talks about financing pressure

　　When talking about the financing status, Zhu Jiusheng said that the current financing status of Vanke is still normal, objectively speaking, there is pressure, but Vanke will certainly be able to make it through. He personally feels that this challenge related to financing has three aspects: first, the challenge brought by the imbalance of development business income and expenditure; The second is the challenge brought by the change of financing mode. In the past, it was possible to withdraw money at a large amount, but now it is necessary to transfer to the project and withdraw money according to the progress of the project; The third challenge is the layout of the whole business, that is, the rate of return of the business is not enough to cover the whole state of interest climbing.

　　When talking about the financing plan, Zhu Jiusheng said that God closed a door of Vanke, and in the past, it was always the total credit financing. But it also opened two windows for Vanke. One of them is the real estate financing coordination mechanism, commonly known as the project white list. Vanke has selected more than 30 projects into the white list, and the list is still being reported. In addition, Vanke is also concerned about operating property loans. Vanke’s operating property loans increased by about 10 billion in the first three months of this year. Vanke is rich in resources and sufficient in assets for operating property loans. In the future, operating property loans will flourish.

　　Zhu Jiusheng talks about cooperation with institutions

　　Regarding the cooperation with banks, Zhu Jiusheng said that Vanke has long been a good strategic and long-term cooperative relationship with banks. Vanke has 8 short-list cooperative banks, 16 long-list cooperative banks and 26 long-term cooperative banks, which have long supported Vanke. When the industry’s downward sales decline and the return is reduced, banks are Vanke’s allies in risk prevention. He also said that before the bank loan, it was always a total credit loan, and the change of regulatory policy must turn to the project system. The mortgage model turned around overnight, with a conversion period of 1-3 years. Zhu Jiusheng mentioned that banks are concerned about three issues: where the first money flows, where the second asset items are, and whether the third cash flow and the value of goods are enough. These three questions are well answered, and the bank is definitely supportive.

　　Regarding the cooperation with insurance funds, Zhu Jiusheng said that Vanke has cooperated with many insurance companies, and the insurance funds support the company in the form of "5+1+1+…" in terms of term setting. Sometimes the choice of "+"is in the insurance funds, and sometimes in Vanke, when it is close to "+",the two sides will sit down and talk. I am especially grateful to the major insurance companies for their long-term support to the company. Long-term patient funds have made Vanke more calm and resilient in its business operations. The support of insurance funds makes the company more determined on the road of transformation.

　　Yu Liang: The market is obviously oversold in the short term.

　　Regarding the future trend of the industry, Yu Liang, Chairman of Vanke’s Board of Directors, said that it is difficult for the industry to return to the past high point, but the prospect is still broad, and the view of "oversold market" has not changed. Yu Liang pointed out that we should look at the changes in the market from a dynamic perspective. He mentioned two aspects. One is that the housing demand still exists, and the other is that the urbanization process in China is not over. He predicted that the future housing demand construction will be maintained at around 1 billion square meters, which is a relatively certain value. However, in the past year, the construction area of newly started houses in China was less than 700 million square meters, which was 59% lower than the high point in 2019. Therefore, from this point of view, Yu Liang thought that the market should be oversold, and his views on the market remained the same as before.

　　Regarding the focus of the company’s work in 2024, Zhu Jiusheng said that in 2024, the company should ensure a safe bottom line, and hope that the development business will persist in outperforming the general trend, the cash flow at the operational level will be positive, and the work of block trading and equity trading will be strengthened, and the return will reach more than 30 billion yuan. At the same time, Zhu Jiusheng proposed that the company will still firmly reduce leverage, promote the transformation of financing model, reduce interest-bearing debt by 100 billion yuan in the next two years, actively use financing tools such as operating property loans, fully integrate into the urban real estate financing coordination mechanism, and promote the transformation of financing model. The company will also promote the streamlining and high efficiency of the organization, maintain the stability of key employees, support business development, scrimp and save, and reduce management costs.

　　Regarding the downgrade of the company’s rating, Zhu Jiusheng said that the rating of Vanke by major rating companies has indeed been downgraded, but there has been no fundamental change in the company’s fundamentals. The downgrade is certainly influential, but it has no major fundamental impact. At present, it seems that the impact is relatively limited.

　　As for asset trading, Liu Xiao, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Vanke Group, said that in the future, the company will continue to promote the business model from heavy to light, and asset trading is an important path for the business from heavy to light and continuously improve its operating level. Therefore, the scale of asset trading of Vanke in 2024 will be larger than that in 2023. It is reported that the transaction amount of Vanke’s assets in 2023 was 12.3 billion yuan.

　　No dividends for the first time since listing.

　　As for the company’s dividend, according to Vanke’s 2023 annual report, no dividend will be distributed in that year, which is the first time that Vanke has not paid dividends since its listing. Zhu Xu, secretary of Vanke’s board of directors, responded that Vanke has always attached great importance to cash dividends to give back to shareholders, with a total dividend of 103 billion yuan for 31 consecutive years, with a historical average dividend rate of 33.3%, which is also 2.8 times that of Vanke’s equity financing over the years, which is what the company has always been proud of. Based on this background, it is really difficult for the board of directors to consider canceling the dividend in 2023.

　　Zhu Xu said that the current industry is still undergoing deep adjustment. In January and February, the sales performance of the top 100 real estate enterprises fell by more than 50%, and the sales of Vanke fell by more than 40%. The confidence of the whole market is still recovering, and the uncertainty of operation still exists. Based on this, Vanke also made some communication with bond investors and equity investors in advance.

　　According to Zhu Xu, Vanke investors have some differences in dividends. For example, creditor investors hope that the company will not pay dividends or reduce dividends, and keep more cash reserves to cope with the repayment of future creditor’s rights; Equity investors are divided into two categories, one is understandable, hoping that the company will not pay dividends and keep more cash reserves to ensure safe operation, and the other is hoping that the company can continue its previous dividend policy. Based on the opinions of creditor investors and equity investors, the board of directors decided to cancel the dividend in 2023 based on very in-depth discussions, so as to help the company better cope with the uncertainty in a special period and ensure operational safety. I sincerely urge investors to give the company an understanding.

　　Yu Liang voluntarily reduced his salary to 10,000 yuan before tax every month.

　　On the evening of March 28th, Vanke Group released its 2023 annual performance announcement.
