A few days ago, the State Council issued the "Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Consumer Goods Trade-in"; On April 12th, the Ministry of Commerce and other 14 departments jointly issued the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods. At present, the "trade-in" of household appliances is in full swing, and various household appliance chain enterprises have launched corresponding activities. How to trade in the old for the new? How much can old household appliances pay? How to deal with the old household appliances after recycling?

Status quo: The deduction of old household appliances is all "one price"

On Wenchang Middle Road in Yangzhou City, Huiyin Electric Appliances and JD.COM Electric Appliances are close together, which is a good place for local residents to buy electrical appliances. "Trade-in the old, save money and worry", "double subsidies from government and enterprises, change to a new stop" … During the interview, the reporter found that in the two major home appliance markets,not a fewMerchants have posted leaflets related to trade-in.

"A few years ago, I wanted to throw away the broken washing machine at home, and I had to call the master who collected the waste to carry it away. Not only was the broken washing machine worthless, I had to give them 100 yuan." In Gree Store of JD.COM Electric Appliances, the reporter met Zhu Yi, a citizen of Yangzhou who planned to change the air conditioner. He told the reporter that the air conditioner at home has been used for many years, and there will be a "click-click" sound when the blades rotate, so I recently wanted to change the air conditioner before summer. Unexpectedly, when I visited the shopping mall, I found that not only the merchants would tow away the old appliances when they came to install new appliances, but the old air conditioner could also be discounted for money. "The old air conditioner can reach 300 yuan, and it feels convenient and affordable, which is very good."

Gree store clerk said,1 horseOld air conditioners can be deducted from 300 yuan, 1.5 can arrive in 400 yuan, and 2 can be deducted from 500 yuan … In addition, you can enjoy 100 yuan’s "trade-in" voucher when you buy a new air conditioner and 200 yuan’s "trade-in" voucher. After conversion, you can at least save 400 yuan by participating in the "trade-in".

The same is "trade-in", but the experience of Nanjing citizen Meng Jia is somewhat different. "Recently, my home has been renovated, and I want to take this opportunity to replace all home appliances with intelligent ones that can be controlled by remote mobile phones." Meng Jia said, but after consulting the clerk, he found that no matter how good or bad the household appliances are, and how long they are used, they are all "a price" when they are traded in. "Air conditioner 300, refrigerator 200, washing machine 50 … The old household appliances at home have basically only been used for about 5 years, and they are still good, which is a price that others have broken down. I don’t understand why this is calculated."

During the visit, the reporter also found that although the conversion methods of old-for-new home appliances in different cities, different appliance stores and different brands are different, they are basically "one price".

In Nantong Wenfeng World (Nandajie Store), all kinds of household appliances, such as air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines, are labeled with "trade-in". The sales staff of Midea Air Conditioning told reporters that the "trade-in" activity has just been launched. No matter whether the machine is good or bad or the brand of the machine, one old air conditioner can be deducted from 200 yuan and 1.5 old air conditioners can be delivered to 300 yuan.

On April 11th, the reporter went to Suning.cn (Xinjiekou Store), where the slogan of "trade-in" was everywhere, and the atmosphere of "trade-in" was full.The staff of Skyworth Store said that basically all home appliance brands in Suning Appliance participate in the "trade-in" activity, and consumers can enjoy a 10% discount on the transaction price if they have old home appliances, with the upper limit of 1000 yuan. "For example, a new TV set costs 8,000 yuan, and the old machine can deduct 800 yuan; If you buy 12,000 yuan of new home appliances, you can only reduce 1000 yuan at most with old home appliances. "

When asked why they are all "one price", a shop assistant who has been engaged in electrical appliance sales for more than ten years bluntly said, "Trade-in is just a way of" letting the price go ",and the old machines are actually worthless. After recycling, the old machine can’t be taken to the factory for renovation, so it can only be dismantled as waste, so no matter how many years it has been used, it is the same price. Air conditioners contain metals such as copper, iron and aluminum, and the recycling price is relatively high, while household appliances with less metal content such as refrigerators, televisions and washing machines are worthless. "

Blocking point: it is difficult to recycle old household appliances.

Trade-in of old equipment is not only related to consumption upgrading, but also to establishing a virtuous circle system. It is equally important to deal with "old equipment" and stimulate "new demand".

"The key to recycling household appliances lies in dismantling. At present, there are 8 enterprises with dismantling qualifications in the province. The proportion of waste household appliances that are dismantled and recycled through formal channels is not high, and many of them have entered informal dismantling points, which invisibly increases supervision and environmental protection costs." Wang Sheng, general manager of Kaiyan Electronics Co., Ltd. told the reporter that according to the qualification recognized by the environmental protection department, the enterprise can dismantle 1.93 million used household appliances a year, but last year, the business volume of dismantling enterprises was less than 870,000, and it was the main problem that "second-hand goods" could not be obtained.

While Wang Sheng was worried about "not receiving" old household appliances, the second-hand platform was caught in the dilemma of "not receiving" valuable old household appliances and "no one collecting" old household appliances. "Most old household appliances have no value in circulation to the second-hand market. It is estimated that 80% of old household appliances enter the dismantling process, and only about 20% enter the second-hand market, mainly in the fields of air conditioners and washing machines." A person in charge of the second-hand platform revealed that in addition, in the process of resale of old household appliances on the second-hand platform, it is often difficult to reach an agreement because of the different bids of buyers and sellers and who is responsible for the freight, which leads to the low turnover of second-hand household appliances. There are still many blocking points and sticking points to be cleared on the road to turning the "old" into treasure.

How to solve the problem of single recycling channel of old household appliances and establish an efficient and smooth recycling system of old household appliances?

Liu Buchen, an analyst in the household appliance industry, believes that in the follow-up policy implementation process, we should avoid focusing only on market stimulus and neglecting product recycling, and form a complete policy closed loop from stimulating the market to product withdrawal to recycling. We should provide a formal channel for recycling old household appliances, establish a modern large-scale household appliance recycling system, encourage the fine dismantling of old household appliances, and make the best use of the value of old household appliances.

Zhang Chunlong, director of the Institute of Social Policy of Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences, suggested that the first is to improve the recycling system and establish a sound recycling system for used household appliances, including setting up professional recycling points and carrying out door-to-door recycling services. The second is to establish a standardized treatment process to standardize the management of the dismantling, classification and treatment of used household appliances to avoid secondary pollution to the environment. The third is to strengthen supervision and law enforcement, introduce relevant policies and standards, strictly implement the disposal standards of used household appliances, and severely crack down on illegal dismantling and disposal. Fourth, encourage all parties involved to share benefits, encourage consumers to participate in recycling by setting up a reasonable recycling incentive mechanism and benefit sharing mechanism, and also encourage recycling enterprises to increase technical input and improve the recycling rate of household appliances resources.

"Promoting large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is a systematic project, which requires a good combination of policies. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance to raise public awareness of equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. At the same time, it is necessary to introduce relevant policies, such as financial subsidies and tax incentives, to encourage enterprises to renew equipment and trade-in consumer goods, and to improve recycling channels and improve recycling efficiency. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the formulation and upgrading of standards to provide a better market environment for equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. " Liang Zhenpeng, a senior industrial economic observer, said.

In the recycling system of old household appliances, enterprises are the main body of innovation and development. "Haier has built 5,000 recycling networks across the country, covering 2,482 districts and counties, ensuring the production capacity of the dismantling end. In 2023, 6.73 million old household appliances were dismantled." The relevant person in charge of Haier’s recycling industry said that at present, Haier has built the industry’s first circular closed-loop system of "recycling, dismantling, recycling and reuse" around the consumer demand for health and greening. At the recycling end, the enterprise will co-ordinate the old machine resources to ensure the production capacity of the dismantling end; At the dismantling end, the enterprise will optimize the dismantling process and enhance the value of the dismantled products; At the recycling end, Haier will improve the quality of recycled products through technological innovation; On the reuse side, Haier has realized the high-value utilization of renewable resources.

According to the relevant person in charge of Gree Electric, since 2010, the company has established six renewable resource bases, carried out recycling of discarded electrical and electronic products, discarded automobiles, and deep processing and recycling of discarded circuit boards and discarded plastics. The amount of green and harmless treatment of discarded household appliances has been in the forefront of the industry for many years, with revenue of about 1.7 billion yuan in 2022 and over 3 billion yuan in 2023, with a year-on-year increase of 76.5%. By the end of 2023, Gree’s renewable resources had collected and dismantled 56 million sets of waste electronic and electrical products, and recycled 850,000 tons of main metals such as copper, iron and aluminum. According to the calculation, through the resource regeneration of Gree, the carbon emission has been reduced by 2.8 million tons.

At present, it is imperative to get through the possible difficulties of "trade-in". At present, the action plan of trade-in has been released one after another. The reporter learned that the relevant policies of trade-in in Jiangsu are still in the pipeline.

Peng Tao, general manager of Nanjing Environmental Resources Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. expects that Jiangsu’s "trade-in" policy will pay more attention to recycling and dismantling, strengthen the supervision of recycling and dismantling channels, prevent unqualified enterprises from dismantling waste household appliances privately, and avoid leaving "environmental problems" behind by the "green rejuvenation" policy.

It is reported that qualified dismantling enterprises will make the best use of waste household appliances according to the process requirements of the environmental protection department, and turn the old ones into gold: the waste parts are sold to steel mills, circuit boards to hazardous waste recycling enterprises, foam insulation layers, etc. They are sold to qualified raw material users, and harmful metals are sent to qualified enterprises for harmless treatment.

"At present, enterprises carry out the" trade-in "activity, and most of the recycled waste household appliances have nowhere to accept except air conditioners, and they are piled up in the open air, causing environmental pollution." Qian Zhengming, secretary of the Party branch of the Provincial Household Electrical Appliances Association, found in the investigation that some of the recovered household appliances flowed to the second-hand market, and many of them flowed into illegal dismantling channels. Even those who entered the formal dismantling enterprises went through many links, with high costs, and the enterprises were operating at a loss and lacked enthusiasm. She suggested that the government can give appropriate subsidies to this link and set up a special warehouse for used household appliances.

Prospects: The replacement scale of household appliances in Jiangsu this year is expected to be 15 million units.

Compared with the past, the new round of "trade-in" launched this year is significantly different in government-led, implementation areas and subsidy standards, and pays more attention to guiding consumers to "update" in the direction of greening, intelligence and informationization. Qian Zhengming believes that this round of "trade-in" policy is just the right time. On the one hand, with the technological innovation, there are a large number of new products with high technical content, strong personalization and good energy-saving effect on the market; On the other hand, with the continuous development of the market, China’s home appliance market has entered an era of paying equal attention to both increment and stock from the "incremental era", and some consumers urgently need to eliminate the old home appliances that have been "out of service" to reduce potential safety hazards; There are also some consumers who are experiencing the concept upgrade from "having to being excellent" and need to meet their needs with "new consumption".

In order to promote consumers to eliminate old appliances with high energy consumption and replace them with green smart appliances, more than 30 head brands, including JD.COM, Hand in Hand Midea, Haier, Gree, Hisense, Samsung, etc., have offered 15% subsidy for the old ones. "Consumers can participate in activities in self-operated stores under the national line of JD.COM MALL, JD.COM and JD.COM Wuxing Electric, and enjoy the’ one-stop free delivery of new and old’ service, without having to worry about the handling of old household appliances." Tang Hui, the brand department of JD.COM Wuxing Electric Appliances, said that since March, the trade-in business volume of JD.COM Jiangsu stores has increased by more than 200% month-on-month. Through investigation, it is found that this round of consumers’ demand for replacement is more focused on green smart home appliances, and the demand for large-capacity refrigerators, washing machines, fresh air conditioners and household appliances is very large, which is a rejuvenation of lifestyle.

Xu Zhibo, sales general manager and user experience officer of Haier Zhijia in China, said that in terms of product replacement, Haier locked in more than 400 trade-in models in 14 categories, including refrigerators, washing machines, dryers and air conditioners, and invested 1 billion yuan in special replacement subsidy funds to provide users with three subsidies: old machine residual value coupons, replacement subsidy coupons and green carbon points. The highest subsidy for single product replacement is 1000 yuan, which can also be superimposed with local government replacement consumption subsidies up to 15%.～20%； In the scene renewal, Haier provides users with local renovation and scene renewal services for balconies, kitchens and other family spaces, from changing a home appliance to changing a complete set of home appliances to changing a smart home scene scheme, and provides 20% ~ 40% subsidies for local renovation.

Trade in the old for the new to incite the big market. The reporter learned that in 2023, the sales brought by the trade-in of Haier China District will account for about 30% of the total sales. Since the second half of last year, Sanying Bird has focused on the renovation of old residential areas and second-hand houses, and the transaction volume of smart scene schemes has exceeded 5.3 billion yuan.

Promote high-quality durable consumer goods to enter residents’ lives, and a new round of "trade-in" action will open up a huge domestic demand market. How big is the space? According to the forecast data of AVC, in 2024, the channel scale of the national household appliances market will be about 483.86 million online, 127.02 million offline and 610.88 million omni-channel.

"This year, there should be about 30 million’ elimination’ units in Jiangsu that have only been in service for an extended period. Considering the situation that some consumers are frugal, the whole replacement scale should be around 15 million units, of which the replacement scale of empty ice washing and kitchen appliances should be around 7.5 million units." Qian Zhengming said that this large-scale equipment renewal and the trade-in of consumer goods showed the adjustment of the policy thinking of "tapping the increment from the stock", which not only helped to expand the effective demand and supply-side structural reform as a whole, but also consolidated the economic recovery and accelerated the green transformation of economic development.

Li Xin, director of the Electrical Testing Center of the Provincial Quality Inspection Institute, said that according to the Safe Service Life of Household Appliances, the safe service life of household refrigerators and room air conditioners is 10 years; The safe service life of household electric washing machines, clothes dryers, household gas stoves, range hoods, storage water heaters, household water purifiers, tableware disinfection cabinets and smart toilets is 8 years.

"It should be noted that the safe service life of air conditioners starts from the production date, and the rest products start from the sales date. Exceeding the above time is’ overdue service’. " Li Xin said that the use environment of many household appliances is complex. When they are used beyond the service life, the performance of the products will obviously decline, and the energy consumption of water, electricity and gas will also increase significantly. More importantly, the longer they are used beyond the service life, the higher the probability of safety accidents. Generally speaking, consumers are advised to replace household appliances in time in the following situations: household appliances that have exceeded the safe service life, household appliances with outdated technology, household appliances with outdated standards, household appliances with constant glitches, and household appliances with significantly increased energy consumption.

How to stimulate the demand for home appliance trade-in? The reporter learned that not only the market has acted quickly, but governments at all levels have intensively "thrown out" subsidies to promote the "replacement" market to heat up.

On April 9th, Jiangsu Provincial Department of Commerce held a deployment meeting on financial assistance to promote consumption mobilization. Focus on the fields of automobile, home (household appliances, furniture) and refined oil consumption, integrate resources of all parties through the way of "government setting up a platform, association guidance, enterprise participation and market operation", and select multiple property communities for pilot by the way of "pilot first and then promote". Then the relevant government departments issued special working documents for further replication and promotion.

On April 10th, Taizhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce released the plan of "Tai Xiang Consumption Rejuvenates New Life" to promote household appliances trade-in in 2024, which is scheduled for April 15th, 2024.～During the period of May 15th, we invested 2 million yuan, and adopted the method of "government subsidy+merchants making profits". The maximum subsidy for rejuvenation exceeded 15%, and vigorously carried out the "trade-in" activity of household appliances, bringing tangible benefits to consumers.

Xinhua Daily Meeting Point reporter Hong Ye Wang Mengran made a wish

　　　　The annual Apple conference can be said to be the annual Science and Technology Spring Festival Evening, which will trigger a burst of madness among fruit fans whenever it arrives. 2017 is also the tenth anniversary of Steve Jobs’ release of the first iPhone. In order to commemorate Steve Jobs’ radical reform of the iPhone that has continued the appearance of three generations, Apple launched the first full-screen flagship. Of course, the product is not perfect. Next, let’s list a few slots of iPhone X. I believe everyone can find resonance after reading it.

Gray iPhone X sinks the painted door again.

　　　　Speaking of the history of iPhone paint peeling, it is necessary to trace back to 2012. The iPhone 5 released that year can be said to have subverted the design of the Jobs era for the first time, and it will last for five years. 3. The screen has been upgraded to. The other two brand-new black and white color schemes have really attracted the favor of many consumers. However, what I never expected was that the black version of the iPhone 5 was so badly painted that it was possible to scratch it with a little nail. Later, it was confirmed that this was also caused by the instability of anodized aluminum to dark color, which also led to the complete cancellation of the pure black version of the iPhone.

There is a swap phenomenon in the gray iPhone X border in deep space.

　　　　Time goes back to the current iPhone X, and the problem of paint dropping comes back again. This time, the paint dropping is the surrounding metal frame, and it is also a deep space gray version. It seems that deep space gray (black) is really an eventful color. Judging from the photos provided by netizens on the Internet before, the paint peeling phenomenon of the charging interface and SIM card slot is the most serious.

Lightning data interface swap is the most serious phenomenon.

　　　　It is understood that all painted mobile phones are concentrated in the deep space gray version, because its metal frame adopts a technology called "physical vapor deposition" to ensure the perfect color integration between the frame and the glass body. Although the technology sounds tall, it is really fragile in actual experience. At present, the only way to solve this phenomenon is to bring a shell or choose a white version. I am afraid that the problem of paint peeling should be the most important problem to be solved for the next generation iPhone X.

Face ID is sometimes inconvenient.

　　　　Face ID is achieved by a small area on the top of iPhone X that is not covered by the screen. There are as many as eight components integrated in this small area. Besides the well-known parts such as microphone, speaker, front camera, ambient light sensor and distance sensor, infrared lens, Flood illuminator and dot matrix projector are also integrated.

IPhone X "bangs" integrates multiple sensor modules.

　　　　First of all, it must be admitted that Face ID is really great. It can be said that Face ID is one of the safest ways to unlock smart phones at present. No matter in accuracy or in dark light, it can be successfully unlocked, but never imagined that there would be a small problem when we were lying down to unlock. I believe that many small partners who own iPhone X have failed to unlock on their side. The reason is explained in two vernacular sentences. The first is that half of their faces are buried in pillows, and the second is that their faces are deformed when lying on their sides. Face ID is not recognized.

IPhone X adds Face ID function.

　　　　Another point that everyone spits out is that downloading an APP with iPhone X is more troublesome than ordinary Touch ID. When downloading an APP on an iPhone with Touch ID, you only need to scan your fingerprint to download it. However, on the iPhone X, users need to double-click the power button and then perform facial verification, which is more complicated in steps.

　　Recently, the recessive infection of brucellosis (hereinafter referred to as brucellosis) in Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences has attracted attention.

　　According to CCTV news reports, as of 12: 00 on December 7th, 317 teachers and students of Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute had been tested for Brucella, of which 96 were serologically positive and had no obvious symptoms, and were diagnosed as recessive infection. Fortunately, the probability of brucellosis transmission from person to person is extremely low, and there are no previous cases.

　　On December 9th, many doctors who have long been concerned about epidemiology accepted an interview with The Paper, saying that brucellosis patients/infected people are usually people who have been engaged in the work related to slaughtering or raising cattle and sheep for a long time, but researchers are rare, and collective infection incidents of this scale are even more rare in China. They concluded that the incident was related to the irregular operation of the laboratory.

　　How did so many people get infected with brucellosis in a short time?

　　The Paper previously reported that some students claimed that their classmates had been infected with brucellosis because of their experiments with diseased mice, and suspected that aerosol infected by germs had formed in the air.

　　In this regard, Li Qiong, vice president of the Fourth Hospital of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, said that pathogenic bacteria pollute the air, form aerosols in the air, and are inhaled and infected through the respiratory tract. This is indeed one of the three main ways of brucellosis transmission, and the aerosols are invisible and intangible. Even professionals can’t tell whether the air contains pathogen aerosols. The other two modes of transmission are: direct contact through skin and mucosa, such as direct contact with sick animals by shearing and milking workers in livestock farms and slaughterhouses, which leads to infection; And eating food contaminated by pathogenic bacteria leads to digestive tract infection.

　　Li Qiong said that some researchers were infected in clinical experiments, but it was the first time that nearly 100 people were found to be positive for brucellosis antibody in a short time.

　　Cai Yudong, a retired chief physician in beijing ditan hospital, has been engaged in the research of infectious diseases for 40 years. In her experience, the most common people infected with brucellosis are engaged in the work related to breeding and slaughter. Because of the long contact with animals and many links, it is difficult to prevent the source of infection. He speculated that the collective infection of teachers and students in the laboratory must have violated the operating norms.

　　Cai Yudong said that the operation specifications involved include: whether the laboratory hardware facilities are available (for example, tests involving Brucella diseases should be carried out under P3 safety protection standards), whether the human operation is standardized, and whether there is sudden accidental infection (for example, the container containing Brucella is broken to form aerosol inhalation infection).

　　Wu Hao, a professor at the Infection Center of Beijing You ‘an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, also speculated that there may be loopholes in laboratory protection: "(Brucellosis infection) does not mean that adults can be infected by traveling to the countryside or eating mutton and beef, and this probability is very low. If you follow the rules, these teachers and students should not be infected. "

　　As for two serological tests, RBPT (Tiger Red Slide Agglutination Test) and SAT (Tube Agglutination Test), which some students told The Paper, were positive, Wu Hao thought that brucellosis infection could be judged by these two tests, but because some patients will also show positive results after self-healing, it should be only a preliminary screening at present. As for whether the human body has recovered or is still infected, doctors need to make further judgments based on clinical manifestations.

　　Cai Yudong also said that if the above two tests are positive at the same time, "it can basically be judged as brucellosis infection".

　　According to public information, brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Brucella, and it is a Class B infectious disease stipulated in the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases. The acute cases showed fever, hyperhidrosis, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and lymphadenopathy of liver and spleen. In the chronic stage, most cases show joint damage, joint stiffness, long-term fever, etc., and they can’t engage in manual labor. The masses call it the disease of paralysis and laziness. Brucellosis can also harm male testis, female ovary and other reproductive systems.

　　After the incident of brucellosis recessive infection, Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute has successively inspected the teachers and students in the institute, and invited a team of experts to give lectures on knowledge in the school. Other institutes affiliated to China Academy of Agricultural Sciences have also successively organized physical examinations for students.

　　On December 7th, all graduate students of Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute said that some students from Harbin Veterinary Research Institute had come to Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute for internship this summer, and they were also found to be positive for brucellosis antibody recently after returning to Harbin. On December 9th, Heilongjiang Provincial Health and Health Commission confirmed to The Paper that imported cases of brucellosis were also found in Harbin. The staff of the Center for Disease Control of Harbin Health and Health Commission said that the Harbin Institute of Veterinary Medicine had found a hidden infection of brucellosis.

Duan Yongping went to the United States in 2001 and settled near California. Since then, he has been far away from the front line of business and rarely returned to China, but there are still legends about him on the Chinese Internet. In fact, Duan Yongping began to be called "China Buffett" just after he retired.

Few entrepreneurs in China can still gain a huge voice after staying away from the front line of business. Duan Yongping is called a hidden billionaire, and people talk about his investment ideas, his culture and the stories of his disciples in China. His disciples did create great commercial achievements.

It’s hard to say whether Duan Yongping’s popularity was created by the media or he did it on purpose. After all, those circulating quotations really came from his sharing on social platforms for decades. Instead of choosing fashionable social platforms such as Weibo and short video, he registered an account in a stock investment community-he is one of the people with the largest number of fans on this platform-perhaps because it is more suitable for investment exchange, or just because the founder of this platform, Fang Sanwen, is his good friend.

He shared his daily life here, and passed by Macao for a small gamble during the Spring Festival, and won. Get up early to grab Vision Pro, and it took a few days to say that there is no cinema that can compare with Vision Pro’s viewing experience. Maotai and Ruixing made a sauce-flavored latte, and he was willing to vote for it as a shareholder. Go to the NBA to watch the ball and wish the Warriors good luck. But more is to share the investment concept. He has a heavy position in Apple and Maotai and is optimistic about the long-term value of the company. "Buying stocks means buying companies", which has attracted many people who regard him as their life mentor.

Like Buffett, every speech made by Duan Yongping can be used to make a fuss. Recently, he discussed his views on the buyback with netizens, and compared Tencent’s buyback with Apple’s. Some media immediately reported that "Duan Yongping’ questioned’ Tencent". Last year, he shared the investment dynamics of "starting to think about Ali, selling put first", which caused a lot of commotion. Many analysts explained that this was Duan Yongping’s "bullish and bargain-hunting of Ali stocks."

Duan Yongping’s screen name is "Avenue is invisible and I have style". Most of his followers call him "Avenue", which is not only the nickname of Duan Yongping, but also seems to be the avenue of their lives.

01 | Beware of being blacked out.

880,000 fans are not a bright number on social platforms. The number of fans after the name of online celebrity on Tik Tok is 99.99 million+. But in Snowball, a stock exchange community, 880,000 is probably the limit you can reach.

This is the number of fans of snowball user "Avenue is invisible and I have style". Of course, you may be more familiar with his real name Duan Yongping. More often, people will add an attribute before his name, "China Buffett". He himself denied the name many times, even though it was the name that appeared most frequently in his mouth.

It costs 128 million RMB to photograph the sky-high lunch to communicate with Buffett, but to communicate with "China Buffett", you only need to register a snowball and comment under the account of "Avenue is invisible and I have style".

But remember to follow certain rules. For example, you only ask questions once a day (the exact time set by Duan Yongping is 23 hours). Don’t ask silly questions. Before asking questions, you’d better read through his past speeches-they are everywhere on the Internet, and some speeches are also marked with dates. Snowball has specially published a book for him, "Duan Yongping Investment Questions and Answers", which consists of two volumes.

Don’t try to give him advice, because he just shares and doesn’t want to discuss any problems with anyone. "I have enough experience and don’t want to discuss problems with anyone."

It’s ok to express gratitude, for example, reading his posts has benefited a lot, and some of them will reply briefly, "I will be happy that someone finds it enlightening", but it’s best not to make a long speech, and he may not pay attention to you. Remember not to love him casually, it’s what he hates most.

One of the consequences of not following the rules is that you will be blacked out by him. Recently, a former employee of an Internet company was blacked out by him because he was asked what he thought of the non-competition agreement of this Internet company. He should also be cautious in evaluating his favorite companies, such as Apple, Maotai and Tencent. These companies are all his heavy positions, and some have been firmly held for many years. He hates "pretending to know apple", and it will ruin things when he meets it.

More blackouts may just be that he doesn’t like it. He said in his signature that "I occasionally choose blackouts because I don’t like you either". For example, you can love him casually, or you have different opinions on Chinese medicine, or he feels silly about your speech. Don’t think that you won’t be seen by him when you comment on your homepage or other bloggers. He often surfs the internet.

In Snowball, a small investor trading community, being blacked out by "Avenue" is something to show off-after all, it may be the place with the highest concentration of "Duan Yongping Quotations" on the Internet. Duan Yongping is not only a "avenue" here, but also a life mentor.

A person who was blacked out by Duan Yongping said that he was "both shocked and surprised" and was shocked by being blacked out, because he was a snowball registered for Duan, and he was surprised that "I was so close to my idol, and even some little ones were lucky to be noticed by idols."

After being blacked out by him, some people will write a special post saying "honored" and express their gratitude at the same time. "I am grateful to learn a lot from the avenue." Sometimes I have to reflect on what mistakes I made, such as cognitive deficiencies, such as whether I said something that I shouldn’t have said.

It is an honor to be noticed by the avenue. Some followers have been interacting with Duan Yongping on the Internet since the blog period. In 2018, Netease blog was changed to Lofter, but Duan Yongping didn’t like it, so he turned to snowball. He posted a blog saying that "bloggers can sign a number on the snowball" and left a message telling him that he would pay more attention. There are more people paying attention to him now, and it is not easy to get attention. The rule of Avenue is that there must be at least two people who have paid attention to it, and he will also look at the applicant’s application content and speech views in advance. He only followed 181 people on the snowball.

But we should also pay attention to choosing a good screen name. After all, the screen name is also the embodiment of values. A netizen’s name is "Being surprisingly upright", which was changed by Duan Yongping’s suggestion to "Being surprisingly upright" because "if you don’t think about surprises all day, the chances of making mistakes will drop, and it will become possible to make a mistake accidentally."

This netizen left a message thanking him for saying, "With the word’ no’ added, there is a lot less trouble."

02 | Preacher

Many people use "preacher" to describe Duan Yongping. Even though he retired long ago, the culture of "duty" advocated by him continued to spread on the Chinese Internet through his disciples. He himself has expounded this point on snowball or Netease blog many times. "Duty" can be briefly summarized as "doing the right thing, doing the right thing". He said that these two words are extremely simple but by no means easy. You can read "understand" in one second, but most people can’t do it all their lives.

Thinking about this duty should always be kept in mind, and strive to combine words with deeds. A few years ago, the WeChat red envelope burst into flames. Some people used their duty to think, saying, "It’s not their duty to grab the red envelope easily in the group." Duan Yongping replied that his duty was to blame himself, not to use it as a mirror.

Some people ask him that he is too specific about his business actions, which he will think is not understood in place. For example, a netizen once asked him about his decision-making ideas in BBK, and he said that these were all "skills". "My whole blog is about’ Tao’, but people always think that’ skills’ are worth learning." He warned these people that those who are eager to learn a trick or two from the avenue, so as to get financial freedom quickly, are all in the opposite direction.

Duan Yongping has also forwarded many collections of his own speeches, and his speech in BBK more than 20 years ago can also be found on his blog, with the title "The Foundation is Evergreen". A few days ago, he forwarded an interview with him by a student from Zhejiang University eight years ago. "It may be really helpful for students who are graduating from college to look at this."

Duan Yongping also recommended the book "The Foundation is Evergreen" many times.

In recent years, he has not been interviewed by the media, partly because he retired and partly because he felt that the media would misinterpret his meaning. He learned from Buffett and will only be interviewed by TV media in the future, and will not be misinterpreted.

Duan Yongping’s popularity on Chinese Internet largely comes from his successful investment in Netease many years ago. It is said that he benefited as much as $1 billion from that investment. He later said that the standard of his judgment is value, and the simplest investment standard is "buying stocks is buying companies."

Countless people tried to learn the secret of investment from Duan Yongping. They followed him from Netease blog to snowball, and learned every speech he made, trying to replicate his success in the stock market. But Duan Yongping always said that he didn’t know much, and only one or two companies could really understand it. In the past years, his investment career has been centered around a few companies such as Maotai and Apple, and has been firmly held for decades.

He doesn’t look at short-term fluctuations, and he just stays at ease when he buys stocks. Sometimes I have to tease others. Apple once made a fortune. On that day, he played golf with others. As a result, after playing nine holes, the man said that he would go back to see Apple’s financial report. He thought to himself, "What’s good about Apple’s earnings report? It’s still important to play ball." But in the end, I had to finish the remaining 18 holes by myself.

He is also a fan of the products of these two companies. He knows a lot about Moutai, and it tastes better after being bought for 30 years than the vintage wine he bought directly. He bought Apple’s latest iPhone every year. Last year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max was too popular. He took it a week late and was worried. "In the past, you could get there on the first day through the back door." In fact, his residence in the United States is not far from Apple’s headquarters. Last Halloween, he passed by Jobs’ door and took a photo, saying that "Jobs’ door is very lively tonight". It is estimated that at least a few candy meals will be prepared.

At the beginning of this year, some media counted his positions in US stocks, and the assets of H&H, an investment company he managed, reached 100 billion RMB. Apple is a big position, accounting for as much as 80%. The rest are Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and Google. He also bought a small amount of Alibaba, replacing the Pinduoduo stock he used to hold.

In the past, Duan Yongping has always said that he can’t understand e-commerce companies. Pinduoduo couldn’t understand it, but he bought some stocks for Huang Zheng, who said he wouldn’t sell them for three years. He said that he didn’t understand Pinduoduo, which might be a bit like Buffett didn’t understand Microsoft.

When Pinduoduo’s market value surpassed Ali’s at the end of last year, H&H he managed cleared Pinduoduo and started buying Alibaba. Some time ago, after Cai Chongxin’s last interview, he said that maybe "there is no difficult business in the world" needs to be adjusted, because the user can’t reflect it in this sentence.

Many hot companies, such as NVIDIA and Microsoft, are not bought by Duan Yongping. He said that he couldn’t understand these companies. "I didn’t understand them and didn’t have time to read them, so I just missed them." He said that he couldn’t directly feel their products and missed many such companies in the process of playing golf, but he didn’t care. "I’m a Man Cang, but I didn’t miss anything, did I?"

Many people asked him about a company. Duan Yongping’s common expression is to think about this company in 10 or 20 years. Some people say that many of his ideas are ahead of time, but his answer is not ahead of time, just trying to look far away.

03 | Vision Pro, Big Model, Golf and Life Mentor

Most of the time, Duan Yongping’s status on social platforms is relaxed and comfortable, which may make entrepreneurs of his age feel envious.

In January this year, Apple Vision Pro officially opened for booking, and Duan Yongping got up early and got up at 5 o’clock. Vision Pro was sold out 18 minutes after its opening, and Duan Yongping successfully grabbed a ticket. He took a screenshot of the order on the snowball, equipped with Zeiss glasses, travel suit and Apple Care+ warranty service, with a total price of $4,696.

After the arrival of the goods, he specially took a photo of wearing Vision Pro and asked everyone "watching movies or skiing". He spent five or six hours experiencing it. More than 90% of them were watching movies, Forrest Gump, The Avengers and Avatar. If it wasn’t for bedtime, he might have been able to watch it all the time. He spoke highly of Vision Pro, saying that there is no cinema that can be compared with Vision Pro’s viewing experience. Maybe children in the next 10 years will not know what a cinema is.

Duan likes the movie Forrest Gump very much.

Duan Yongping is also very concerned about the hot AI model. At one time, he asked ChatGPT "Who is Duan Yongping" every day to judge whether the big model was talking nonsense. Sometimes the big model says that Duan Yongping is the managing partner of Morgan Stanley, or distinguished professor of Wudaokou Finance College in Tsinghua University, and even founded a fund management company called Dacheng Fund. Duan Yongping concluded, "Ask the same question every day, you can get different answers every day, and you can be happy every day."

In January, he tried to see if Bard, who quit Google, could get the latest information, so he asked, "What is Duan Yongping doing recently?" Bard said that Duan Yongping recently said that he was optimistic about the new energy vehicle industry-in fact, Duan Yongping has never been optimistic about Tesla. Duan Yongping finally commented, "Bard will also be serious and nonsense, and it seems that AI is not enough for search."

But golf is what he really loves. Someone asked him what he thought of Bezos, Nadella and Cook. He said that they were all better than him, but he was better at golf and table tennis. He seldom participates in activities organized by domestic entrepreneurs. Before the dissolution of the Taishan Club, he said that he quit after joining for two years, which was meaningless, and he had his own thoughts. "No one played ball."

This is the retirement life that Duan Yongping enjoys. Sometimes I bask in my own red wine and share my life. Today, I bought and sold a few pens for "entertainment".

But there are always some external factors to disturb him, and the spotlight of the media always hits him. Last time OPPO stopped the chip business Zheku, people kept coming to ask his opinion. He was so upset that he wrote a 200-word explanation, saying that he had retired for more than 20 years. He didn’t know how the specific business was running at present, and he knew the news was only 10 minutes earlier than online. If he asked again, it would be blacked out.

Maotai’s changes in the domestic stock market will also involve him. Earlier this month, Maotai released its 2023 annual report, showing that two private equity funds reduced their holdings in the fourth quarter of last year, which was considered to be related to him. Duan Yongping had to post a special post to clarify, "We didn’t sell any shares!"

At the beginning of this year, he asked a question on the snowball, "Who do you think are the companies that will still be there in 10 years?" He thinks that Apple and Maotai will still be there in 20 years, Google, Microsoft and BRK (Berkshire Hathaway) should still be there, Tencent has a 90% probability, and OPPO and vivo should have a 75% probability. Soon, the media issued a report-"Duan Yongping looks to the next decade". He commented on the recent repurchase of Tencent, so there was "Duan Yongping" questioning Tencent "

Duan Yongping was born in 1961 and is 63 years old this year. Yu Minhong, who is one year younger than him, is still in the first line of the company. In the past few months, he apologized for the incident of Dong Yuhui, the head of his company, online celebrity. Duan Yongping has never met Yu, but he has always thought that he is a very interesting person. New Oriental was once shorted. He spent four hours watching all the interviews with Yu Minhong he could find on the Internet, and came to the conclusion that this person is not what the short seller said. At the end of 2021, New Oriental began to do the live broadcast of Oriental selection. He bought some New Oriental stocks to express his support. "Yu Minhong, who has been gambling for 60 years, will not fall."

Most of the private entrepreneurs who made their fortune by industry together with Duan Yongping in the 1990s have now disappeared from public view. For example, Lan Shili, who just got out of prison two years ago, and Gu Chujun, who made his fortune by air conditioning. Most of the consumer electronics brands born at the same time are short-lived. Like the bully, it took only four years for the love of contemporary speakers to end from glory, and Amoi and Kim Jong-il gradually disappeared from the mainstream vision.

Duan Yongping is different. Most of his businesses in the past are still doing well, and his disciples are also inheriting the duty culture he advocated. It’s hard to say that Duan Yongping really retired-even though he kept stressing that he had retired for many years.

He still expresses his views on his social account intensively, keeping up with current events, commenting on the company and recalling the past, which always attracts the attention of the public and the media. He is not optimistic about new energy vehicles, saying that Tesla may have a hard time in the next 20 years, and evaluating BYD’s cost advantage will become a moat. These speeches have been quoted by the media from time to time and made headlines.

After some entrepreneurs retired, there was no more news, such as Chen Tianqiao, the founder of Shanda Company, who also retired from the United States. Chen Tianqiao was recently mentioned because of the exposure of a large number of real estate he bought in the United States. He is now the second largest foreign landlord in the United States, but Chen Tianqiao did not respond.

Even Huang Zheng, the founder of Pinduoduo, who is now retired from the background, is much more low-key than Duan Yongping. Huang Zheng stepped down as CEO in 2021, and there has been no public speech and dynamics since then.

Duan Yongping, who retired bravely, has become a life mentor in the new era after more than 20 years of quitting the front line.

Water is the source of life, and drinking water hygiene is the basic guarantee of human health and life safety. In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards, the demand for healthy drinking water is changing with each passing day, and a new form of drinking water has entered thousands of households, that is, ready-made and sold water. It can be seen everywhere in residential areas, shopping malls and other places. When you choose this new water supply method, do you know what to pay attention to when buying ready-made drinking water? Is the drinking water you bought up to standard? Let the health supervisor answer your questions one by one:

1. What is ready-made and ready-to-sell drinking water?

Ready-made and ready-to-sell drinking water refers to the water supply mode that municipal tap water is used as the water source, and drinking water is produced on site through water quality treatment equipment and sold directly in bulk.

Second, how to hold the ready-made drinking water?

Consumers should use food-grade clean buckets, bottles and other containers that can hold food to hold ready-made drinking water.

3. Can the existing drinking water be drunk raw?

The existing drinking water does not have the necessary conditions for long-term storage, so after buying it back, it should be used in the shortest possible time to prevent deterioration, and it should not be left for too long. At the same time, consumers are advised to drink it after boiling, and it is not appropriate to drink it directly.

4. What should we pay attention to when buying ready-made water for sale?

1. Look at the environment: it depends on the sanitary conditions around the water-selling equipment and whether there are pollution sources;

2. Look at the information publicity column of drinking water equipment: whether the relevant information is publicized in a conspicuous position as required;

3. Look at the condition of the water vending machine: Look at whether the water vending machine is operating normally and whether the safety protection door is damaged.

5. What conditions should the existing drinking water equipment meet?

The water quality processor used for on-site production of drinking water (including the automatic drinking water vending machine) must:

1. Obtain the approval of hygiene license for water-related products;

2. Municipal tap water is used as raw water;

3. The effluent quality meets the requirements identified by the water quality processor;

4, its appearance should be clean, no rust or damage;

5, the outlet must have a concave isolation area, to avoid pollution, the outlet should also be installed with a tightly closed door that can automatically close, and when the water is not sold, the door should be closed;

6. The propaganda words on the equipment shall meet the requirements of the Management Specification for Labeling Instructions of Waterrelated Products.

Sixth, how to deal with water quality problems?

When the existing drinking water has peculiar smell, peculiar smell or something visible to the naked eye, consumers should immediately stop using it, and immediately inform the existing drinking water business units according to the information of the business units publicized on the equipment, and ask them to dispose of it in time. If necessary, it can be reported to the local health supervision department (Tianxin District can call 85899720 for on-site inspection by Tianxin District health supervision department).

Special reminder:

The existing drinking water is filtered and absorbed by water treatment technology to improve the water quality, but it does not have any function of treating diseases or health care. Business units shall not imply or express that the water sold now is "spring water", which is used for medical purposes, improves health performance or has curative effect. The contents such as acidic water, alkaline water, activated water, small molecular water, functional water, energy water and oxygen-rich water shall not be marked.

　　Recently, Typhoon Du Surui triggered a torrential rain and flood disaster in Beijing, and a series of law-related problems appeared in post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. The Beijing Lawyers Association organized lawyers from eleven professional committees, including civil law, insurance, labor, transportation and contract, to set up legal service groups to explain and analyze legal problems arising from the rainstorm.

　　Legal problem and solutions on that protection of consume rights and interests

　　1. What kind of legal responsibilities will the operators bear for driving up prices and making disasters?

　　Operators will bear administrative responsibility, and if the circumstances are serious, they will bear criminal responsibility. In violation of the provisions of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Price Law, there are acts of manipulating market prices, spreading price increase information to drive up prices, etc., and according to Article 6 of the Provisions on Administrative Penalties for Price Violations, a fine of less than 5 times the illegal income is imposed; If there is no illegal income, a fine of not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 500,000 yuan shall be imposed, and a fine of not less than 500,000 yuan but not more than 3 million yuan shall be imposed if the circumstances are serious. If the circumstances are serious, criminal responsibility for the crime of illegal business operation may be investigated.

　　Second, if someone produces and sells food that has been soaked and polluted by floods, what legal consequences will it lead to?

　　If the production and sale of food soaked and contaminated by flood is enough to cause serious food poisoning accidents or other serious food-borne diseases, it will constitute the crime of producing and selling food that does not meet the safety standards, and can be sentenced to criminal detention, imprisonment, fines, confiscation of property and other penalties.

　　3. I made an appointment for a photography service. Because of the rainstorm, I applied to the merchant for rescheduling. The merchant refused to reschedule and deducted the deposit. Is it legal?

　　Article 590 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "If one party fails to perform the contract due to force majeure, it shall be exempted from liability in part or in whole according to the influence of force majeure, except as otherwise provided by law." Rainstorm will be prompted by weather forecast, so whether it can be attributed to force majeure depends on the specific circumstances such as "unpredictability of rainstorm" and "severity of rainstorm". If it is really impossible to rush to the shooting site due to the stagnant ground water due to the rainstorm, the rainstorm can be considered as force majeure, and the merchants should cooperate to change the date and should not deduct the deposit.

　　4. If the house rented through an intermediary company is blocked by the roof drainage and accumulated too much water in the rainstorm, which leads to the collapse of the house, can you ask the intermediary for compensation?

　　When renting a house through an intermediary, if the intermediary deliberately conceals important facts related to the conclusion of the contract or provides false information, which harms the interests of the client, the intermediary shall bear the responsibility; If the intermediary did not conceal the situation of the house in the process of providing intermediary services, the intermediary will not bear the responsibility because of the quality problems of the house itself or the collapse of the house due to disasters, and the lessee may ask the lessor to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

　　Article 962 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the intermediary shall truthfully report the matters related to the conclusion of the contract to the client. Where an intermediary intentionally conceals important facts related to the conclusion of a contract or provides false information, thereby harming the interests of the client, it shall not request payment of remuneration and shall be liable for compensation.

　　5. Who will pay for the goods purchased online that were washed away and damaged by water at the logistics distribution station?

　　According to the provisions of Articles 47 and 48 of the Postal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), if the online shopping items are insured with property loss insurance, you can apply for insurance claims; If the merchant applies for insured price at the time of delivery, the logistics company can compensate according to the insured amount. For mail losses caused by force majeure, logistics enterprises shall not be liable for compensation, except for insured mail items.

　　Legal problems and solutions about land and real estate

　　1. Who will bear the maintenance responsibility for the leakage of the rented house caused by heavy rain?

　　If there is an agreement in the lease contract, if there is no agreement, the lessor shall perform the maintenance obligation of the lease item according to Article 712th of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC). If the contract signed by the lessor and the housing leasing enterprise stipulates that the maintenance responsibility belongs to the housing leasing enterprise, the lessor may pursue the responsibility from the housing leasing enterprise after assuming the maintenance responsibility.

　　Second, the rainstorm caused the rental house to be flooded. Who will bear the loss of indoor property?

　　The loss of the lessee’s indoor property shall be borne by the lessee in principle. However, if there is evidence that the house itself has design defects or that the improper transformation of the housing leasing enterprise has caused or aggravated the losses of the lessee, the lessor and the housing leasing enterprise may be investigated for tort liability according to their fault.

　　3. Who should bear the liability for compensation if the rainstorm causes the house to leak and flood downstairs?

　　If the leakage point is in public places or public facilities such as leaking pipes, the property service person shall be liable for compensation; If the water leak is in the exclusive part, the owner shall be liable for compensation. After the owner is liable for compensation, if there is an agreement with the lessee in the lease contract, he may pursue the responsibility from the lessee.

　　After finding water leakage upstairs, the injured party should first protect the site and fix the evidence. For example, taking photos, video recording and other evidence collection. You can find property service providers or communities, let them give their opinions, or let them go to the upstairs owners for consultation and repair. If the consultation fails, an agency with assessment qualification can be invited to the site for assessment. After sorting out the relevant evidence, you can bring a lawsuit to the court and ask the upstairs owner to compensate for the losses.

　　4. Can the lessee claim rent relief from the lessor because the leased house cannot be used normally due to heavy rain?

　　If the leased premises can’t be used normally due to the rainstorm disaster, if it is caused by reasons not attributable to the lessee, the lessee may request the lessor to partially or completely waive its obligation to pay rent; If the lessee is at fault, it shall bear corresponding responsibilities according to the size of the fault. The lessee shall notify the lessor in time to reduce the losses that may be caused to the lessor, and provide evidence to prove it within a reasonable period of time. In addition, if the lessee has delayed payment or refused to pay the rent before the rainstorm disaster, the lessee’s default liability occurred first and the flood disaster occurred later, and the lessee’s unpaid rent cannot be exempted at this time.

　　5. If the leased premises cannot be used normally due to the rainstorm, can the lessee claim to terminate the contract with the lessor?

　　It needs to be determined according to the damage of the house. If the purpose of the lease contract cannot be achieved due to serious damage, the lessee may request to terminate the lease contract according to Article 563 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC). In judicial practice, the people’s court will comprehensively consider the impact of floods on the contract performance period, contract content, contract subject matter and other related issues, and handle the termination of the contract according to the situation. In the case that the lease term of the contract or the remaining lease term is short, and the leased house is partially or completely damaged or lost due to the rainstorm disaster, the lessee’s contractual purpose can no longer be realized, and the request to terminate the contract can usually be supported. If the remaining lease term is long and the leased house itself is not seriously damaged or can be resumed as soon as possible after cleaning, it will not affect the realization of the purpose of the lease contract itself. At this time, the lessee’s claim to terminate the lease contract is usually not supported, but at this time, the lessee can still reduce its losses by applying for rent reduction.

　　6. If the land and house are damaged and lost due to the flood, and the lease contract cannot be continued, do you need to bear the liability for breach of contract?

　　No liability for breach of contract is required. Article 180 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that those who cannot perform their civil obligations due to force majeure shall not bear civil liability. If there are other provisions in the law, such provisions shall prevail. Force majeure is an objective situation that cannot be foreseen, avoided and overcome, and floods fall into this category.

　　Seven, how to repair the roof leakage and wall seepage caused by heavy rain?

　　According to the Measures for Quality Warranty of Building Construction Projects, the warranty period of roof waterproofing works, toilets, rooms and exterior walls with waterproof requirements is 5 years. Within 5 years, the owner may ask the construction unit to carry out repairs. If the construction unit refuses to repair, the reasonable expenses incurred by the owner after repairing by himself may claim compensation from the developer. Over the warranty period, the roof maintenance belongs to the public part, you can apply for the start of residential special maintenance funds.

　　Eight, how to start the special maintenance fund for housing caused by heavy rain?
