Recently, Venezuela has welcomed a number of "benefits", the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela have been loosened, the so-called "interim government" supported by the United States in an attempt to replace the current government has been dissolved, and European countries represented by Spain and France are easing their relations with Venezuela. In particular, Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Brazil, have resumed diplomatic relations with Venezuela. These Latin American countries advocate multilateral mechanisms to solve problems and oppose unilateral sanctions and crowding out Venezuela.

　　Local analysts pointed out that there are indications that since 2018, the United States has tried to use unilateral sanctions to force the Venezuelan government to yield and pressure European and Latin American countries to isolate Venezuela, which cannot succeed.

　　American companies resume importing Venezuelan oil.

　　Since 2018, the United States has imposed "extreme pressure" on the Venezuelan government for many years, with the aim of supporting the so-called "interim government" led by Venezuelan opposition leader Guaido. Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on February 24 last year, Europe and the United States have imposed sanctions on Russian crude oil exports, resulting in tight international crude oil supply and rising prices for a long time, which has also brought obvious negative effects to domestic oil prices in the United States. In order to stabilize domestic oil prices, the United States began to take the initiative to contact Venezuela, a major oil producer, to seek the possibility of importing oil from Venezuela.

　　On November 26, 2022, the US Treasury Department announced that in the next six months, Chevron will be allowed to resume its oil exploration business in Venezuela and allow it to import oil from Venezuela. As a result, two oil tankers sent by Chevron arrived at Lake Maracaibo, the main oil and gas producing area of Venezuela, on December 29th last year and January 3rd this year respectively. In addition to bringing naphtha used to dilute heavy crude oil to the joint venture between Chevron and Venezuela’s national oil company, it is estimated that 500,000 barrels of crude oil will be transported to Chevron’s refinery in the Gulf of Mexico. This will be the first batch of crude oil shipped from Venezuela to the United States in four years.

△ Chevron oil tanker sent to Venezuela

　　Francesco Monaldi, director of Latin American energy project of Baker School of Public Policy, Rice University, said that the crude oil production capacity of Chevron’s joint venture in Venezuela was 50,000 barrels per day at the end of November last year, and it is expected to increase to 800,000 to 100,000 barrels per day in the following months. If there is enough investment, the production capacity of Chevron is expected to increase to 200,000 to 220,000 barrels per day in the next two years.

　　Under the "favorable" factors such as Chevron’s resumption of operation in Venezuela, the Venezuelan Petrochemical Chamber of Commerce said that by the end of 2023, Venezuela could increase its crude oil production from the current 700,000 barrels per day to 1 million barrels per day, which would greatly increase the country’s oil export revenue. By the end of 2023, the export income including oil, gold and other minerals is expected to reach about 20 billion US dollars, exceeding the estimated income of 15 billion US dollars in 2022, which will help improve Venezuela’s balance of payments.

　　The process of multi-party game is difficult and tortuous.

　　The recent relaxation of sanctions against Venezuela by the United States is the result of a multi-party game, and its process is difficult and tortuous. Shortly after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States completely banned the import of Russian oil, resulting in a gap of 600,000 to 700,000 barrels per day. In order to fill the gap, the US government sent a high-level delegation to Venezuela for talks with the Venezuelan government on March 5 last year. In the negotiations, US officials mentioned that Venezuela should export oil directly to the United States in exchange for relaxing US oil sanctions against Venezuela, while trying to determine whether Maduro’s government is prepared to keep a distance from its ally Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Plasencia, Venezuela’s foreign minister, said shortly afterwards that Venezuela was ready to sell oil to the United States again, but at the same time, it remained "loyal" to Russia, which remained an ally.

　　Since the end of March last year, Biden’s government has released 180 million barrels of reserve crude oil to the domestic market in the United States. The urgency of the United States to resume importing oil from Venezuela to stabilize oil prices has declined in a short period of time, and the negotiations between the United States and Venezuela have come to a standstill.

　　After temporarily shelving the option of Venezuela, the US government once tried to persuade Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other oil-producing countries in the Middle East to increase oil production. Last July, Biden visited Saudi Arabia. At the beginning of October 2022, "OPEC+"countries including Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates decided to reduce crude oil production by 2 million barrels per day from November until the end of 2022. Biden stated in this regard that the decision of "OPEC+"prompted the United States to reconsider the issue of oil import substitutes, but the United States has many options. The US media subsequently reported that Biden’s administration is considering the option of relaxing sanctions against Venezuela, so that American oil companies can restart oil production activities in Venezuela.

△ "OPEC+"countries hold a meeting

　　At the end of November last year, Biden’s government allowed Chevron to resume its oil exploration and export business in Venezuela, and Chevron quickly sent tankers to Venezuela to transport crude oil. According to American media reports, Chevron was able to quickly resume importing crude oil after obtaining the license, thanks to the company’s preparations as early as several months ago.

　　The analysis pointed out that a series of chain reactions triggered by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the world forced the United States to consider loosening sanctions against the Committee. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace recently wrote in official website that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continuously strengthened the right to speak in the negotiations between Maduro’s government and the United States. As the United States demands to cut off Russian oil and gas exports and seek alternatives for Russian oil imports, the United States is giving up its "threatening language" against Venezuela in previous years and releasing more "goodwill" instead. Now Venezuela is becoming a "valuable partner" of the United States.

　　The "interim president" was dismissed because of infighting in the opposition.

　　Just as the United States relaxed its sanctions against Venezuela, both the "interim government" and the "interim president" Guaido supported by the United States had problems: the former was dissolved and the latter was dismissed. In the vote on December 30 last year, the Venezuelan opposition passed the decision to dissolve the so-called "interim government" and dismissed Guaido, the "interim president". Of the four main opposition parties in Venezuela, three supported the above decision.

　　Looking back at history, in May 2018, the current president of Venezuela, Maduro, won re-election in the presidential election, but the United States and some western countries did not recognize the election results and supported Guaido, who was elected as the chairman of Venezuela’s parliament in January 2019, as an "interim president". In fact, Guaido has never actually been in power for a day.

　　After the dissolution of the "interim government", the National Security Council of the United States indicated that the United States would continue to support the "interim government" in whatever form it existed. The State Council spokesman Price said on January 3 that although the "interim government" has been dissolved, the United States still "does not recognize" Maduro’s government and will continue to maintain the existing sanctions.

　　Compared with the tough stance of the United States, Venezuelan President Maduro said on January 1 this year that Venezuela is "fully prepared to take measures to normalize relations with the United States". Maduro criticized the US government’s extreme pressure on Venezuela. He said that the United States has taken measures such as suppressing Venezuela, threatening invasion and imposing extreme sanctions, hoping to force Venezuela to split internally and "arrange a president" for Venezuela from the outside, but these measures have been defeated.

　　However, although the Venezuelan government firmly opposed the "interim government" supported by the United States, it did not close the communication channels with the "interim government", especially on November 26 last year, the Venezuelan government and the opposition made an important breakthrough in negotiations for the first time in many years. The two sides agreed to implement a humanitarian rescue plan worth about $3 billion and continue the dialogue in Mexico. This further strengthened the initiative of the Maduro government.

△ Venezuelan President Maduro

　　Although the United States does not admit its failure in supporting the opposition, many mainstream media have quite consistent judgments on this. The New York Times wrote that Guaido’s dismissal was a major blow to the US government, which has been supporting Guaido since 2019. This clearly shows that the opposition has lost confidence in the goal of "replacing the Maduro government" led by Guaido. German news TV issued a document saying that Guaido’s dismissal means that "the attempt to support an influential opposition to compete with the Maduro government has failed".

　　The Sao Paulo newspaper, which has the largest circulation in Brazil, pointed out that although Biden’s government is unwilling to "recognize" Maduro’s government, it has shown that the US policy toward Venezuela has obvious pragmatism from sending a high-level delegation to visit Venezuela in March last year to allowing Chevron to import Venezuelan crude oil.

　　Some European countries began to ease relations with Venezuela.

　　Over the past few years, many European countries have expressed their support for the "interim government" and adopted measures to sanction the Venezuelan government, while some Latin American countries have also "selected side stations" and collectively put pressure on the Maduro government.

　　Today, these situations are changing.

　　In Europe, European countries have realized the importance of Venezuela since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to the energy supply crisis in Europe. French President Macron called for the diversification of European oil imports and the return of Venezuela to the international oil market at the G7 summit last July. Last November, at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference, Macron met with Maduro, and Macron expressed his willingness to start bilateral cooperation beneficial to the whole region. Recently, the Spanish government appointed a new ambassador to Venezuela to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries at the ambassadorial level in order to coordinate the import of oil from Venezuela by the country’s oil companies.

△ European cruise ships arrived in Venezuela for the first time in 15 years.

　　In fact, European energy companies have started importing Venezuelan crude oil earlier. In the middle of last year, Italy’s Eni Group and Spain’s Lepsol Company imported a total of 3.6 million barrels of crude oil from Venezuela, which was the first time that Europe imported Venezuelan oil in two years. Since then, Venezuela has suspended the export of oil to these two European companies for three months because of dissatisfaction with the settlement method that exporting oil can only be used to pay off debts. Since November, Venezuela has resumed oil sales to these two companies. In that month, 2 million barrels of crude oil were exported to Europe, most of which were received by Lepsol’s Bilbao Refinery. The refinery uses heavy crude oil to produce a large amount of petroleum coke (an important raw material for cement, graphite, steelmaking and other industries), and the petroleum coke production capacity of the refinery can meet the demand of European market by about 5%.

　　Jon Imas, president of Lepsol Company, said that importing Venezuelan oil is not only beneficial to the company itself, but also beneficial to Europe as a whole. In the case that Europe is short of Russian oil due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Venezuela provides another option to supply Europe.

　　Just as some European countries eased relations with Venezuela and increased imports of Venezuelan oil. On January 3, a cruise ship from Europe docked in Venezuela, and nearly 500 passengers from France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy visited Venezuela for the first time in 15 years.

　　Latin American countries move closer to Venezuela

　　At the level of Latin American countries, cracks have appeared within the Lima Group. The Lima Group was founded in Lima, Peru in 2017 by 12 Latin American countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico, with the aim of trying to solve the Venezuelan crisis by peaceful means. At the beginning of the establishment of Lima Group, many member countries boycotted the current Venezuelan government and supported the United States’ practice of excluding Venezuela from attending the Summit of the Americas.

△ Colombian President petro and Venezuelan President Maduro met for the first time in three years

　　Now, the situation has changed. Peru recognized the Maduro government in 2021, while Argentina and Mexico announced their withdrawal from the Lima Group in 2021. On the other hand, after the new President petro took office, Colombian neighbors quickly resumed diplomatic relations with Venezuela at the ambassadorial level, lifted the border blockade, and achieved the first meeting between the two presidents in three years. In Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, Lula officially became president on January 1, which not only ordered the lifting of the ban on the entry of President Maduro into Brazil, but also restored diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between the two countries.

CCTV News:The State Council Press Office held a press conference on April 19th. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that it would work with relevant departments to promote digital upgrading in trade-related links, including improving customs clearance efficiency and providing more and more convenient financing support for foreign trade enterprises.

In the field of trade digitalization, the Ministry of Commerce has guided more trade entities to use electronic trade documents and promoted the interconnection between document platform enterprises. Accelerate the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area global trade digital pilot area, and explore the docking of digital infrastructure and rules and standards, so as to accelerate the digital integration development of the whole trade chain. Cultivate leading enterprises in digital transformation, and also provide digital solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Ministry of Commerce: It is normal for data fluctuation to attract foreign investment.

Since last year, there have been some fluctuations in China’s data on attracting foreign investment. At the press conference on April 19th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that from the overall situation of global transnational investment and the situation of various economies, fluctuations in data on attracting foreign investment are normal.

In the first quarter of this year, the scale of attracting foreign investment in China exceeded 300 billion yuan. In the same period last year, the scale of attracting foreign investment in China reached the highest level in the history of quarterly investment, and it declined in the first quarter of this year. There are indeed factors affected by the high base. In addition, in the first quarter of this year, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises in China reached 12,000, a year-on-year increase of 20.7%, continuing the trend of rapid growth of newly established enterprises since last year.

Ji Xiaofeng, head of the Foreign Investment Management Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that there is usually a process for foreign investment from project signing, company registration to completion and production. In this process, foreign capital will continue to be invested with the progress of project construction, so data fluctuations are also common.

Ministry of Commerce: China’s investment structure continued to be optimized in the first quarter of this year.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, in the first quarter of this year, the actual use of foreign capital in China’s manufacturing industry reached 81.06 billion yuan, of which the investment in high-tech manufacturing industry reached 37.76 billion yuan, accounting for 2.3 and 2.2 percentage points higher than that in the same period of last year, and the investment in medical equipment manufacturing industry increased by 169.7% year-on-year, which fully demonstrated the continuous optimization of China’s investment structure.

At the same time, the person in charge also said that a comprehensive analysis of the situation of attracting foreign investment in China should not only look at the changes in the scale of attracting foreign investment, but also see the optimization of the structure of attracting foreign investment and its future development prospects.

Ministry of Commerce: China deepens national economic and trade cooperation with the Belt and Road Initiative.

At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that since the beginning of this year, China has continuously deepened its economic and trade cooperation with the "Belt and Road" countries and achieved some new progress and new results.

In the first quarter, the import and export of goods between China and co-construction countries exceeded 4.8 trillion yuan, up 5.5%, 0.5 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of foreign trade, accounting for 47.4% of the total import and export.

From the perspective of export commodities, there are high-tech products such as electronic information, instruments and equipment manufacturing, which are closely related to the production of enterprises, as well as consumer goods such as household appliances and clothing that meet the needs of people’s livelihood.

From the perspective of imported goods, China and the co-construction countries actively share the opportunity of China’s big market. In the first quarter, the energy and mineral products, integrated circuits, auto parts and other industrial products imported from the co-construction countries continued to grow.

In the first quarter, China’s non-financial direct investment in co-construction countries reached 54.32 billion yuan, up 12%, accounting for 22.4% of the total foreign investment in the same period. From the perspective of investment, investment in RCEP member countries increased by 33.5%, and investment in Central and Eastern European countries increased by 41.3%, both of which were significantly higher than the overall growth rate.

Yang Tao, director of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in terms of exhibition platform, the just-concluded 4th Consumer Expo and the first phase of the 135th Canton Fair attracted a large number of merchants from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative, and the number of buyers from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative participating in the Canton Fair increased by 46%. In the import sector of the Canton Fair, the proportion of exhibitors from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative reached 64%.

Ministry of Commerce: I am confident to achieve the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that looking forward to the next stage of foreign trade situation, there are both opportunities and challenges in general. The Ministry of Commerce is working with all localities and departments to study and launch a series of targeted, pragmatic and effective measures to stabilize foreign trade.

The opportunity is that the domestic economy is picking up and the foundation is constantly consolidating. In the first quarter, the national economy grew by 5.3%, and the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 6.1%, which provided a solid foundation for China to consolidate its foreign trade base.

The company’s expectations continue to improve and its confidence continues to increase. In March, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of China’s manufacturing industry reached 50.8%, returning to the expansion range. Recently, a questionnaire survey was conducted among more than 20,000 exhibitors in the Canton Fair. The survey results show that the proportion of enterprises whose orders have increased or remained flat has reached 81.5%, an increase of 16.8 percentage points over the previous session. Enterprises are relatively optimistic about the order situation and are more enthusiastic about exploring the international market.

Key industries have stabilized and improved, and their motivation has been continuously enhanced. After a two-year down cycle, the trade of main products in the electronic information industry is gradually recovering. In the first quarter, China’s integrated circuits increased by 24.2%, imports increased by 14.3%, and exports of computers and parts increased by 8.6%, which also showed the ability of supporting and integrating China’s industries.

From the perspective of challenges, the growth of external demand is expected to slow down. Recently, the WTO released a global trade outlook and statistical report, in which the growth rate of goods trade in 2024 was lowered to 2.6%, which was 0.7 percentage points lower than the forecast value in October last year. In addition, the risk of geopolitical conflict has increased, the momentum of trade protectionism has risen, and the interference and difficulty faced by enterprises in opening up markets have increased.

Guo Tingting, Vice Minister of Commerce, said that at present, the Ministry of Commerce, together with various localities and departments, is working hard to study and launch a series of targeted, pragmatic and effective measures to stabilize foreign trade to help foreign trade enterprises enhance their motivation and open up markets. The Ministry of Commerce is confident and capable of achieving the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

Ten departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, jointly issued the Measures to further support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce on April 19th that the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Development and Reform Commission and other ten departments have recently jointly issued policies and measures to further support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises.

Clear policies and measures to support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises through qualified overseas limited partners. It is clear that the establishment of venture capital funds in China by overseas institutions is treated equally with domestic venture capital funds. Encourage overseas institutions to cooperate with relevant domestic institutions to set up relevant funds, and support technology-based enterprises invested by overseas institutions to deepen industrial chain cooperation with relevant countries. According to the tax treaties signed between China and relevant countries, qualified overseas institutions can enjoy preferential income tax when investing in listed companies in China.

Ministry of Commerce: Three areas of innovation are full of vitality and have sustainable growth potential.

On April 19th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference, and the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that in recent years, China’s export structure has been optimized and upgraded. In the first quarter of this year, three areas were full of innovation vitality and had potential for sustained growth: first, the export base of complete sets of equipment was solid; second, the export demand of smart products increased; and third, low-carbon energy-saving and environmental protection products were very popular.

Ministry of Commerce: New export growth points will continue to emerge.

In addition, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce also introduced that in the first quarter of this year, the export of China’s labor-intensive products increased by 9.1%. Among them, the export of textiles and clothing increased by 5.4%, the export of plastic products increased by 14%, and the export of furniture and its parts increased by 23.5%. At present, China manufacturing is moving towards China creation. New export growth points will continue to emerge, and the Ministry of Commerce is confident to achieve the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

　　On October 26th, an exclusive interview with DRIs was held in Beijing.

　　Yang Yuexin, Chairman of China DRIs Revision Expert Committee and Chairman of China Nutrition Society, Ma Aiguo, Deputy Chairman of the Revision Committee and Executive Vice Chairman of China Nutrition Society, Ding Gangqiang, Deputy Chairman of the Revision Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of China Nutrition Society and Director of the Institute of Nutrition and Health of China CDC, Yang Xiaoguang, Vice Chairman of China Nutrition Society and researcher of the Institute of Nutrition and Health of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Peng Xianwu, the supporting unit of DRIs revision and general manager of Amway (China) Science and Technology Innovation Center, attended the interview and interpreted the new revision.

　　Yang Yuexin introduced that the 2023 edition of China DRIs is the ninth edition. The revised expert committee and technical working group composed of nearly 100 nutrition experts lasted for three years. Based on the four basic principles of scientificity, advancement, integrity and continuity, the different reference intakes of 20 age groups including energy, nutrients and other dietary ingredients and pregnant women and lactating mothers totaled more than 70 nutrients and other dietary ingredients, which were revised and confirmed, and were held at the 14th Asian Nutrition Conference in September 2023.

　　The revision of DRIs in 2023 mainly includes four aspects. First, the concepts and procedures have been improved and perfected. Different procedures for determining different reference values of nutrients have been newly formulated, and the technical points of each link of the formulation procedures have been uniformly determined. The concepts and connotations of recommended intake and specific recommended values for reducing the risk of diet-related non-communicable diseases have been further clarified and improved. Secondly, the basic reference values of China population were formulated and revised, including age grouping, representative weight, reference value of breast milk composition, recommended weight gain of pregnant women, PAL of physical activity level, etc. Thirdly, the new research results of nutrients and other dietary components in the past decade at home and abroad in the fields of function, evaluation, requirement, safety and prevention of chronic diseases have been included, and more research results targeting China residents have been included. Fourth, from the writing framework, format and other styles, it highlights the positioning of reference books centered on quantitative values.

　　Peng Xianwu believes that this revision has far-reaching guiding significance for the big health industry, such as the data of newly added plant nutrients such as coenzyme Q10 and Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, and the quantification of nutrients such as proanthocyanidins, which will help Amway and industry to develop products and guide consumers to use them.

　　Peng Xianwu introduced that in 2022, Amway and China Nutrition Society established Nutrilite Special Fund for Plant Functional Components and Health Research, aiming at attracting more research institutions and personnel to participate in the research direction of plant nutrients, opening up production, learning and research, transforming research results into products faster, and making more scientific research results benefit the public.

　　This revision has greatly changed the protein intake of the elderly and the calcium supplement standard for adults. Yang Xiaoguang believes that China has entered an aging society, and the elderly and ordinary people can’t meet the demand for protein, which is easy to lead to sarcopenia. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the dietary structure of the elderly and increase the intake of protein. Yang Xiaoguang introduced: "The 2023 edition of DRIs revised the requirement of protein for the elderly aged 65 and above in China, and its recommended intake increased from 0.98 g/(kg day) to 1.17 g/(kg day), which is an important achievement".

　　Ding Gangqiang said that in recent years, the health awareness of Chinese residents has been continuously strengthened, and dietary nutrition and healthy behaviors have been continuously formed, but chronic diseases related to nutrition are still increasing. It is hoped that the release of the 2023 edition of DRIs will further guide the needs of China residents in all aspects of dietary nutrition, especially how to achieve a reasonable and balanced diet, and complete the objectives of the second largest action of Healthy China Action-Reasonable Diet Action.

　　The revision of DRIs has a wide range of significance and value. First, it has scientific value, which determines the types and quantities of nutrients that each person should consume every day qualitatively and quantitatively. Second, social value is an important basic data support for formulating relevant policies, regulations and standards; The third is the value of technical support, which plays an important guiding role in the dietary design and evaluation of collective feeding units such as schools and nursing homes, the nutrition labeling of prepackaged foods, and the product research and development of food enterprises.

In the retail circle, the membership system has been iterative, so we might as well look at the membership logic from Amazon, Nike, Sephora, Starbucks and Xiaomi.

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:Retail Watch (ID: On Retail), author: Wang Ziwei

For retailers, the membership system is basically unavoidable. Let’s take a look at what the most mainstream membership system in the e-commerce era is like.

From a global perspective, there are seven most common forms:

1. Integral-hierarchy system

2. Service subscription system

3. Entity subscription system

4. Charity system

5. Sharing cooperation system

6. Community system

7. TOKEN system

I. Integral-Hierarchy System

This is almost the simplest one. In short, every time you spend X yuan, you get Y points. The more you spend, the higher the score.The only variable seems to be that there may be reward points at different times and through different channels, such as 5 times points for in-store consumption during the celebration period and 10 times points for e-commerce consumption during the Black Five/double 11 period.

Let’s take a foreign example, that is, the clothing brand "North"（North Face）",its integral system is called" VIPeak ".

For consumers, understanding this system is also very simple, that is, for every dollar spent, they get 10 points-whether online or offline, if they spend at outlets, they get 5 points for every dollar.

These points can be used in future consumption. To this end, North Face allows users to manage their accounts, buy goods, see points and redeem rewards through the App.

This is the simplest point system, through which consumers are willing to continue to shop. North Face is a typical single-level membership system.

Based on this logic, there will be a multi-level membership system, generally and periodically.(e.g. 1 year)The consumption amount or points are positively related.The characteristic of hierarchical system is that the higher consumers spend, the more rewards they get.

This level itself is also a gamification system, which links consumption with "playing". In the United States, a classic case is the beauty brand e.l.f

Consumers with 0-100 points are at the first level, consumers with 101-400 points are at the second level, and those with 401 points or above are at the highest level-the more membership points, the more unique the rewards.The uniqueness of the highest level is an important factor that urges consumers to buy more goods.

From the point of view of points, the first-level consumers get 2 points for spending 1 dollar, the second-level consumers get 4 points for spending 1 dollar, and the third-level consumers get 6 points for spending 1 dollar, and consumers can get corresponding services by using points.

Similarly, Starbucks in the United States also has this hierarchical system, which is divided into green card levels.（Green Level）And gold card level（Gold Level）.

When the user has less than 299 stars, it is a green card level, and will enjoy the privileges of getting 2 stars for every $1 spent, birthday gifts, mobile payment, placing orders in advance, and free refills in the store; When the number of stars reaches 300 or above, the user will be upgraded to the gold card level. At this time, he will not only enjoy all the green card level permissions, but also double the star accumulation day every month, get a gold card membership card with his name printed on it, and exchange free food or coffee every 125 stars.

In addition to getting stars through consumption, there are also some activities in Starbucks APP, such as going to the store for consumption at a specific time, getting extra stars, and buying specific goods to get extra star rewards.

Second, the paid subscription system-service category

In the payment system, consumers need to pay a monthly fee or an annual fee to become a VIP. Generally speaking, there must be a solid consumer base.After all, it is difficult for you to make a new user become a paying member with little contact with you, so this payment system is basically used to maintain experienced users.

In addition, this payment system must have membership benefits, otherwise users don’t have to pay you in vain.

The most classic case is Amazon. Now Prime with an annual fee of $119 only needs $79 at the earliest, but only one problem was solved in that year, that is, it was guaranteed to be delivered free of charge within 2 days. This was the biggest problem of e-commerce in that year, otherwise a product would only be available in 2-3 weeks, and even if the price was superior, it could not wait.

Later, many functions were added to Prime for free, such as Amazon music, Amazon photos (unlimited storage of photos) and Amazon videos.(Watch all kinds of movies, dramas and original dramas at will)Wait a minute. In 2018, according to data from investment bank JP Morgan, the annual membership fee of $119 is worth about $784, which can be said to be over-valued.

The extreme, even extreme, is Costco.After covering the cost of goods, personnel and management expenses, the income generated by its goods is almost used up, so that its final profit returned to shareholders and membership fees are almost equal.

Third, the paid subscription system-commodity category

Another logic of the payment system is, "subscription box.（Subscription Box）Type ",that is, the subscription of physical items such as products/commodities.

The goods in the "subscription box" generally need to be purchased repeatedly. Take Bean Box as an example, it is the subscription of coffee-normal purchase is the normal price, but if you subscribe, you can always receive coffee on schedule within a cycle, and you can enjoy a discount.The essence is a behavior of directly locking consumers and locking demand, and then it may be the reverse supply chain.

Another advantage of this subscription is that it can increase the lifetime value of customers-from the case of Bean Box, can it be the same if you let consumers buy once and realize repeated service for six months, and let consumers buy for one month and one month?

Amazon has a similar service, and some products can be "subscribed" directly on the purchase page-usually with a discount of about 5%.

Fourth, the charity system

Discount can be a component of the membership system, but it is not necessary.

Therefore,The logic of the charity system is that you are attracting consumers with your own values, thus establishing a stronger relationship.The more common way is that enterprises donate a percentage of their income to charity, such as donating the money to charities, disease research institutions, animal protection organizations and so on.

A small evolutionary version here is that the enterprise will give you several optional donor institutions, and you can choose the one you are willing to donate. This is the case with The Body Shop in America, which introduced animal welfare into its membership system.

In addition to receiving rewards and VIP treatment, consumers can also choose to donate a percentage of their spending to Born Free USA, an animal welfare institution. This is also because The Body Shop has always emphasized environmental responsibility.

This logic lies in that the communication with consumers is not only the exchange of goods and services, but also the integration of values, which in turn makes the loyalty of consumers come to a different and uncontested field.It can be said to be a "blue ocean strategy of values".

V. Sharing cooperation system

A consumer will not only have a membership card, so the demand is also diverse. It can be said that consumers’ spending time is very idle, and the core is whether businesses from different formats can "cut leeks" together-buy electronic products from you, shoes from me and snacks from him.

Therefore, consumers will also want more flexibility in rewards. At this time, what is needed is cross-industry cooperation, which is equivalent to consumer sharing. After all, every enterprise has private domain traffic and data is single-segmented. If(Where permitted by law)Realize the docking of data, then almost draw the whole life of consumers.

In the United States, Nike’s membership system is like this. It has cooperated with Apple, Classpass and Headspace. These companies are not randomly selected, but can be linked to sports. They belong to the cooperation of several enterprises with sports as their core values.

At the same time, Nike also has a variety of apps for different sports to help members achieve their exercise goals. Then as long as the consumer’s behavior can be recorded by the App, then you can get a reward.

Japan’s Sakya Bookstore is also this logic, which focuses on life: through the T-card system, the parent company of Sakya Bookstore has opened 887,000 stores in 179 Japanese companies in May 2018, realizing the universality of points, and the profit does not come from the points themselves, but from the big data insight of consumers. Because consumer data is no longer just a single book purchase, eating, shopping, but all the synthesis.

In China, this kind of cross-industry cooperation is also gradually emerging. For example, JD.COM Plus can give you an iQiyi member.It is also the opening of data and traffic sharing between the two parties, which in turn turns traffic into "reservation".

VI. Community system

Beauty cosmetics brand Sephora（Sephora）Beauty Insider, a membership system, must be said. On the one hand, this system can be upgraded to three grades based on consumption, and every dollar spent in each grade can get different grades of points feedback.(1 dollar for 1 point, 1.25 points, 1.5 points respectively)At the same time, there are opportunities to get more exclusive services with the improvement of grades in the traditional "hierarchical system".

Besides,The biggest feature of Sephora’s membership system is the establishment of a community-to communicate with various members, find inspiration, participate in exclusive activities and so on.At this time, members of Sephora come to the brand community, and Sephora can understand the needs of consumers and then optimize its product design.

This logic also exists in China, that is, in Xiaomi’s community, a group of fans gather in the community to communicate with each other and put forward their own needs, and Xiaomi’s product manager can collect relevant information and update the corresponding system: users feel that they are valued, and Xiaomi has obtained consumer demand and met consumer demand, and both sides are happy.

Seven, TOKEN type

The last one is the TOKEN logic in the blockchain, or,Is similar to "asset securitization"（ABS）The idea of "assets token" should be called as a kind of "assets token"（ABT）”。

This kind of logic can be seen in China. At present, it can be simply divided into two types. The first type is "commodity tokenization", which is represented by the second-hand e-commerce enjoyment theory, and the second type is "behavior tokenization". I think the representatives are interesting headlines and today’s headlines. Let’s look at it together:

"Commodity Tokenization"

The problem with second-hand e-commerce is that the seller wants to sell an item that is "emotionally connected with himself", and based on game theory, the buyer will directly regard all second-hand goods as having a problem, forming a "lemon market effect" and paying a very low price, or, no matter how wonderful your price is and how perfect the goods are, I will ask for a 20% discount first and then post it-as long as I have sold something on idle fish once.

This will greatly reduce the efficiency of the transaction, and the seller will usually feel very uncomfortable, and finally there may be problems on the "supply side", which will have a negative effect on the market.

The logic of enjoying things is very interesting, that is, instead of introducing money, users use small red flowers. Users earn small red flowers through various behaviors, such as signing in and sharing, and then "exchange" other people’s goods with their own small red flowers. Because the little red flower is not anchored with the RMB, so,Users will participate in the purchase according to their real needs, rather than the "chopping behavior" caused by "consumerism".As a result, the pressure on both buyers and sellers is reduced, which greatly promotes the circulation efficiency of goods.

This logic actually exists in offline channels, that is, "moon cake tickets", that is, the moon cakes are placed there, and the person who finally gets the tickets goes to a specific place to pick up the goods. As for the intermediate process-the goods are not moving, and the tickets are flying around, which greatly reduces the cost. The logic of this set of freight tickets is "online" and combined with the mode of second-hand e-commerce, which forms the theory of enjoying things.

"Behavior Tokenization"

The second logic is "behavior token", which is the case with interesting headlines.

To put it simply, users can be rewarded for all their behaviors on the APP, including reading gold coins, watching videos, sharing gold coins, and rewarding users with "tokens" in a different way, and then this "token" is every cycle.(The period of interesting headlines is "1 day")Will be cleared, converted into RMB, accumulated to a certain amount, you can withdraw cash-or buy other goods directly in the APP.

The logic is simple,Retaining customers requires costs, so why not give these costs directly to customers as much as possible?And these sources of RMB are also simple, just divide the gross profit of each cycle directly. So now, we will find that many apps have this logic, such as the extreme version of today’s headlines, various headline apps, and various information apps.

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:Retail Watch (ID: On Retail), author: Wang Ziwei

Affected by this round of "refrigerator-level" cold wave, freezing rain and snow occurred in Lechang, Ruyuan and Nanxiong in Shaoguan City, which is located in the alpine mountain area of northern Guangdong Province, resulting in the interruption of many roads, among which the northern section of Shaoguan (Beijing-Zhuhai-North) of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway was closed for more than 100 hours by noon on January 26th due to road icing and snow.

On the 30th, the reporter learned from the traffic police department of Shaoguan Expressway that although the traffic police department has separately diverted vehicles to Guangle Expressway at Ruyuan Toll Station Interchange in the northbound direction of Beijing-Zhuhai and Pingshi North Interchange (K5) in the southbound direction since the early morning of the 26th, there are still vehicles that "mistakenly entered" Beijing-Zhuhai North and stayed on the icy expressway.

On the morning of January 29th, Shaoguan high-speed traffic police found a large truck with Zhengzhou license plate in Henan parked on the expressway when they were inspecting the Beijing-Zhuhai North Bridge section which had been closed due to snow and ice. The traffic police came forward to ask and learned that the driver of the large truck "mistakenly broke into the restricted area" when passing through the traffic control section and drove to the icy section, so the vehicle could not move on and it was worth stopping on the road. The traffic police department immediately sent a batch of food and warm items for the drivers of large trucks to resist hunger and cold.

At noon on the 30 th, the road icing situation near the parking position of the big truck improved. The traffic police department immediately assisted the driver of the big truck to install anti-skid facilities and commanded the big truck to slowly reverse and leave the expressway.

On the morning of 29th, during an interview in Ruyuan Bridge Town, the reporter found that a car with Shenzhen number plate was parked on an icy uphill section of Bridge Town on G240 National Highway, and the windshield, rearview mirror and body were covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and the car was empty. A triangular warning sign was placed about 30 meters behind the car, and the car was suspected to have been temporarily "abandoned" by its owner.

The roads with snow and ice are prone to traffic accidents. The picture shows the traffic police urgently handling the accident vehicles on Guangle Expressway.

The traffic police reminded the majority of car owners not to drive on ice and snow roads as much as possible, especially most Guangdong drivers who lack experience in driving on ice and snow roads. If they must drive on ice and snow roads, they should install snow chains as much as possible, and try to keep driving at a constant speed during the driving process. If there are wheel tracks in front of them, they can follow the rut; When the vehicle is accelerating, lightly step on the accelerator to prevent the driving speed from suddenly rising and slipping, or the two wheels encounter different resistances during the rapid acceleration, resulting in lateral sliding; Don’t hit the steering wheel when driving, slow down in advance when turning, and increase the turning radius appropriately to prevent sideslip.

At the same time, the traffic police reminded that because the friction of ice and snow pavement is smaller than that of dry pavement, it is necessary to increase the safe distance during driving to prevent rear-end collision. Don’t slam on the brakes when braking. The correct way is to "point the brakes" and use the engine to slow down the speed. When parking, park in a sheltered and flat place as far as possible. When parking on a slope road, it is necessary to prevent the car from slipping. Bricks or stones can be used to pad the bottom wheel position.

　　"Low carbon" is one of the hottest words at the two sessions this year. CPPCC members’ proposals are piled up with "low carbon", and NPC deputies discuss "low carbon" hotly, and group discussions are also inseparable from the topic of "low carbon". "Low carbon" has become the "new favorite" that people pay attention to for a time. So, what is "low carbon" and what does agriculture and rural areas do in developing low carbon? The insights of the deputies explain the "low carbon" of agricultural and rural development from different angles.

　　The meaning of the transformation of agricultural development mode

　　"Low-carbon agriculture is first of all an idea and a development direction of agricultural transformation development mode. The essence of the low-carbon concept is to save energy. " Shang Xunwu, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of Gansu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, said.

　　Zhang Quanguo, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Henan Agricultural University, further explained low-carbon agriculture. He said: "Agriculture, as the basic industry of the national economy, is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases, and it is also increasingly affected by the greenhouse effect. How to formulate low-carbon agricultural development policies and reduce carbon emissions in agricultural production has increasingly become the focus of attention from all walks of life and one of the key areas to be considered in regional economic development. It is imperative to change the agricultural production mode as soon as possible and develop low-carbon and high-efficiency agriculture. "

　　At present, in China’s agricultural production mode, some production habits do not meet the requirements of low carbon, which is neither economical nor polluting the environment. Taking fertilization as an example, Meng Tieying, deputy stationmaster of soil and fertilizer station in Xincheng County, Guangxi Province, said that because there is a lot of local rain, heavy rain usually causes farmland to be flooded. Traditional fertilization methods make the loss of fertilizer very serious, which not only increases the cost, but also pollutes the environment. Farmers urgently need a fertilizer that can control the release rate. Data show that the low utilization rate of chemical fertilizers in China is the main reason for environmental pollution caused by chemical fertilizers. In addition to crop absorption and utilization and soil residue, more than 50% of nitrogen is not absorbed by crops and lost to farmland, which has caused a series of environmental and food safety problems, such as eutrophication of water, soil hardening, greenhouse effect and degradation of agricultural products quality.

　　Zhang put forward a proposal to develop low-carbon agriculture. He believed that it is necessary to cultivate the management concept of low-carbon agriculture, vigorously promote the innovation of agricultural production system, implement the management assessment responsibility system for energy saving and emission reduction in agriculture-related production, and gradually develop and improve agricultural energy efficiency standards from the height of national laws and regulations. He also proposed that we should pay attention to the research on low-carbon agriculture, including the integrated application research of carbon emission reduction and carbon sink expansion technologies such as energy, environment, building structure, water supply and drainage, and green space.

　　Science and technology support low carbonization of agricultural production

　　Shang Xunwu said that there are many articles that can be done to develop modern agriculture and realize the development of agriculture from extensive to refined. It can be said that in the agricultural field, it is very feasible to achieve low carbon.

　　He said that many aspects of agriculture can consider how to achieve low carbon. For example, he said that from the perspective of agricultural inputs, such as water resources, agriculture consumes a lot of water, but now the way of using water is unreasonable, causing great waste. Water is used for irrigation, but also consumes electricity. If water is saved, irrigation energy is saved, and it is low-carbon.

　　Zhang Quanguo gave a concept of low-carbon agriculture. "Low-carbon agriculture is a modern agricultural development model. Through various means such as technological innovation, institutional innovation, industrial transformation, and new energy development and utilization, energy consumption and carbon emissions are reduced as much as possible to achieve a win-win situation for agricultural production development and ecological environment protection." He further explained that low-carbon agriculture is the further development of eco-agriculture and green agriculture, which not only advocates less use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and efficient agricultural production like eco-agriculture, but also pays more attention to the reduction of overall agricultural energy consumption and carbon emissions in the process of planting, transportation and processing, when the use of energy such as electricity, oil and gas is increasing.

　　Shang Xunwu gave his own suggestions on how to promote low-carbon agriculture. First, strengthen the role of technology and promote low-carbon technology in agriculture. The second is the innovation of production mode. For example, intensive production, through cooperatives and professional associations to promote centralized production and management, improve efficiency.

　　Zhang Quanguo also holds the same view: supporting the sustainable development of agriculture by improving the technical content of low-carbon agriculture.

　　Taking the scientific and technological development of fertilizer research and development as an example, China has supported the low-carbon fertilization in fertilizer technology research and development. Liu Jianwen, a representative from Agricultural Economics Center of Agriculture Bureau of Linshu County, Shandong Province, said that in recent years, fertilizer enterprises in Linshu have achieved remarkable results in research and development, production and popularization of slow-release fertilizers in low carbon. For example, he said that hundreds of slow-release fertilizer products developed and promoted by Jin Zhengda Group, the largest production base of slow-release fertilizers in Asia, are suitable for field crops in China. Xu Weigang, deputy director of Wheat Research Center of Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, summed up the advantages of slow-release fertilizers in low carbon: slow-release fertilizers can control nutrient release according to crop nutrient demand, which changes the shortcomings that fertilizers can not meet the different demands of crops at different growth stages because of rapid dissolution and nutrient loss, and can greatly improve the utilization rate of fertilizers, protect the environment, save energy, simplify crop production technology and help farmers reduce costs and increase income.

　　For supporting the development of low-carbon agriculture with science and technology, Zhang put forward more specific suggestions. He suggested: First, improve the low-carbon agricultural infrastructure in the core grain producing areas. Intensify integration, focusing on the construction of modern facility agriculture demonstration parks, ecological animal husbandry, grain (leafy vegetables) functional areas and other projects to lay a good foundation for accelerating the development of modern agriculture. Second, strengthen the cultivation of excellent varieties adapted to low-carbon environment. At the same time, we should vigorously promote the innovation of farming system and promote a number of development models such as stable grain and high efficiency, farming-pastoral cycle, and paddy-upland rotation. Third, greatly reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and reduce the carbon content in agricultural development. Such as using manure, compost or organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, and increasing soil nutrients through returning straw to the field.

　　The era of low-carbon rural life is coming.

　　Low-carbon mode not only has great achievements in agricultural production, but also the conditions for developing low-carbon in rural areas are ripe. Zhang Quanguo said that to develop low-carbon agriculture, it is necessary to develop new energy sources in rural areas and realize the diversification of rural energy consumption structure. Such as comprehensive utilization of straw, livestock manure, solar energy and other renewable energy resources to meet the needs of rural domestic cooking energy, rural domestic electricity and domestic hot water.

　　Twenty years ago, Tengtou Village, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, which wrote environmental protection into the villagers’ convention and established the only village-level environmental resources protection committee at that time, was the forerunner of rural low-carbon. Fu Qiping, the general secretary of the village party branch, said that building a "low-carbon" ecological village was the golden key to rural development. "To develop a’ low-carbon’ economy and achieve harmony between man and the natural environment, rural areas should also shoulder the burden." Fu Qiping believes that the future "low-carbon" life is a high-quality, healthy and civilized lifestyle.

　　"A large number of solar cookers in the western rural areas will greatly reduce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide produced by burning firewood (grass, wood), gas and coal." Ren Qixing, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee, said. He said that the western region of China has a long sunshine time and relatively rich solar energy resources, which is most suitable for popularizing solar cookers in large quantities. Ren Qixing suggested establishing financial support policies and giving appropriate financial subsidies to the purchase of solar cookers in rural areas. At the same time, vigorously support solar cooker manufacturers, give tax incentives, and help enterprises improve output, quality and scientific and technological content to meet the needs of promoting the use of solar cookers in rural areas.

　　Coincidently with Ren Qixing, Hao Yuan, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, vice governor of Gansu Province and chairman of the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce, is also very concerned about the utilization of solar energy. He put forward the Proposal of Implementing the Solar Energy "South Wall Plan" at the two sessions. Its core idea is to use the south facade of the building facing the sun, including the heat collection wall, air collector and additional sunshine room on the south facade, to convert the collected solar radiation energy into heat energy as much as possible, and then transfer it to the room to achieve the purpose of heating and warming.

　　In order to promote a lower-carbon lifestyle in rural areas, Zhang also suggested that the development and application of biogas technology should be widely promoted, and at the same time, the agricultural and sideline residues should be fully utilized to improve the low-carbon utilization of straw. He said that China’s annual crop straw output is about 700 million tons, half of which can be used as energy, equivalent to 150 million tons of standard coal. He suggested focusing on the research and development of "trinity" complete technology and equipment for low-carbon utilization of straw. The core grain producing areas such as Henan Province are selected to carry out innovative research and demonstration application of low-carbon agricultural renewable energy and energy-saving engineering technology integration.

CCTV News:In Wonsan, the eastern city of North Korea, there is a famous factory that produces leather shoes. The "Yingfengshan" brand leather shoes produced here have excellent workmanship and fashionable styles, which are well received by the Korean people. This factory is Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory.

At the North Korean National Footwear Exhibition in 2018 and 2019, a leather shoes brand named "Yingfengshan" made a big splash for two consecutive years and won the first prize and the special prize respectively. This brand came from Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory.

Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory was founded in 1959 and has a history of 60 years. Kim Jong-un, the current top leader of North Korea, came to Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory five times since 2014, and it was from 2014 that the development of Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory entered the fast lane.

CCTV reporter Dong Haitao:This pair of shoes on the exhibition platform was produced in 2007, while this pair of shoes on this side was produced in 2017. It can be seen that there are great differences in texture, design and workmanship between them in the past ten years.

Independent research and development, independent manufacturing and self-reliance

According to the factory commentator, the entire production system of the factory is independently developed by North Korea, and the raw materials for shoemaking are also independently produced by North Korea, while the electricity is provided by national power stations such as Yuanshan Military and Civilian Power Station. They are at the forefront of North Korea’s footwear industry in implementing national policies and realizing self-reliant production, and factory employees are particularly proud.

Zhao Mingshi, head of technical department of Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory:We received many favorable comments and won the special prize at this spring national footwear exhibition in North Korea.

Cui Hua, a female worker in Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory:I am a shoe-maker, and I like the ladies’ sandals produced by our factory best. Sandals are women’s favorite footwear products in summer, and we have successfully controlled the weight of women’s sandals within 250 grams.

Nowadays, the vast majority of shoemaking employees in the factory have more than 5 years of shoemaking experience, and the factory will arrange different kinds of leather shoes production plans according to the season, personnel arrangement and product demand.

CCTV reporter Dong Haitao:I’m at the end of the production line of Yuanshan Leather Shoes Factory, where all kinds of leather shoes are displayed. I’m going to have a try now. Let’s try on this pair of pointed leather shoes first. They look very fashionable. The sole is solid and powerful, and it walks steadily. It is a good pair of shoes.

Leather shoes factory is looking forward to expanding production.

Since 2014, the quality of "Yingfengshan" brand leather shoes has been continuously improved, but the price is very close to the people. Take the pair of leather shoes that I just tried on as an example. The ex-factory price is only 25,000 yuan, which is equivalent to about 20 yuan, which is quite good and cheap. The factory commentator told me that the supply of factory products to the Korean people is already in short supply, and they hope to expand production in the future and strive to make "Yingfengshan" brand leather shoes go global.
