Analysis of legal problems caused by rainstorm (IV)

  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?

  The Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Beijing Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued the Notice on Further Promoting the Use of Special Maintenance Funds for Houses in the Case of Rain Leakage (J.J.F. [2023] No.253), which stipulates that if the houses in residential quarters leak rain and exceed the maintenance scope agreed in the property service contract, the community industry committee (property management committee) and the property service provider should first report to the local residents’ (village) committees in time for on-the-spot inspection by all parties. After confirming the mode and scope of maintenance and renovation, the industry committee (property management committee) or the property service provider can entrust the construction unit to carry out maintenance and renovation of the parts involved in the house leakage. After the maintenance and renovation, the project cost accounting, the application for the use of maintenance funds to the relevant departments, and the allocation of special maintenance funds for housing to the bank account of the construction unit can be carried out. Therefore, within the scope of this city, the use of the maintenance fund in the case of water leakage in the house can be realized first and then funded under the corresponding conditions, and the process is more convenient.

  9. Who can claim the loss from the heavy rain that caused the house to partially collapse?

  If the house collapses due to its own quality problems, it can claim compensation from the developer; If the house collapses under the rainstorm disaster due to long-term construction and improper use, the rainstorm is a force majeure factor and cannot claim compensation. You can try to apply for subsidies from the local government.

  Ten, heavy rain caused the garage, garage irrigation, resulting in property damage, who should be liable for compensation?

  The possible responsible subjects are developers and property service providers. If the drainage design of residential areas, underground garages and basements is not in accordance with national standards, and the design or construction is not standardized, resulting in drainage problems, developers can be required to bear the responsibility; If the realty service contract stipulates the relevant management responsibilities of the realty service provider in case of sudden natural disasters, and the realty service provider neglects his duty (such as failing to take preventive and early warning measures, making notification and early warning, and taking necessary dredging and backflow prevention measures), the realty service provider may be required to bear the responsibility.

  11. Who should claim compensation for the broken trees and broken doors and windows in the rainstorm?

  If the forest manager or owner is at fault, he may claim compensation from the forest manager or owner, who shall be liable for compensation according to the size of his fault; If the forest manager or owner proves that he is not at fault and it is caused by the weather, it is an exempted force majeure factor and cannot claim compensation.

  If there are other parties’ faults in the contracted land, such as poor drainage due to the neighboring land, the relevant parties shall bear the tort liability.

If there is no insurance and no third-party infringement, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Recovery of Production in Agriculture and Rural Areas in the City after the Disaster" on August 1, 2023, emphasizing the drainage of affected farmland, crop management, agricultural insurance claims, and the implementation of subsidies for benefiting farmers. Please wait for the guidance of the local government for post-disaster rehabilitation and post-disaster relief subsidies. In addition, if the rainstorm causes serious damage to the contracted land, an application can be made to adjust the contracted land according to Article 336 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC).

  13. If the subcontracted land is affected by heavy rain, can you ask for the termination of the contract?

  Unless it is otherwise agreed in the contract, the contract cannot be terminated unless the heavy rain causes serious damage to the subcontracted land. In agricultural production, the possibility of the contracted land being affected by extreme weather should be foreseen, and the subcontractor only has the obligation to deliver the subcontracted land, but not to ensure the contractor’s harvest.

  14. In the process of dealing with the rainstorm disaster, the property service person does not act. As the owner, can the property service person be replaced?

  It is the owner’s right to dismiss the property service provider according to law. If the property service provider fails to act in the process of dealing with the rainstorm disaster, such as untimely warning and inadequate drainage measures, the owner has the right to jointly decide to dismiss the property service provider according to Article 278 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC). In addition, if the inaction of the property service provider violates the contract and causes losses to the owner, the owner may also require the property service provider to bear corresponding responsibilities.

Strong motivation and light weight: Interpretation of Land Cruiser LC300

Analysis of product characteristics;Silicone oil fan engine produced in 2021!

Home of the car

  On the new generation LC300, Toyota has prepared three powertrains for it, all of which use silicone oil fans as the cooling scheme. ! This may be the only mass-produced new car with silicone oil fan in the 21st century! You know, even the brand-new fourth-generation Jimny gave up the silicone oil fan …

Home of the car

  Two newly developed V6 twin-turbo engines (3.5L gasoline and 3.3L diesel) based on TNGA platform can surpass the traditional V8 engine in performance. The 3.5T V6 version of gasoline (code V35A-FTS) has a power of 415 HP, a torque of 650 Nm, and an acceleration of 0-100km/h of 6.7 seconds! (Another Mammoth) The other is a diesel 3.3T V6 engine (code F33A-FTV) with a maximum power of 309 HP and a torque of 700 Nm. Both power systems will be equipped with 10AT automatic transmission.

  In addition, in some areas with low emission requirements.(Say goodbye to us completely)LC300 continues to provide the 1GR-FE 4.0L V6 engine that is "classic and super-resistant and not picky about food", with a maximum power of 275 HP and a maximum torque of 385 nm, matching the 6AT gearbox.

Tips: silicone oil fan

  In fact, many people are very, very unfamiliar with silicone oil fan, because it really only appears on some traditional and old-fashioned off-road vehicles. Unlike today’s electronic fans, it doesn’t have so many sensors, and it can’t adjust and open the fan in time according to the water temperature. It is more primitive! It determines whether to enter the working state and stage according to the characteristics of engine speed.Generally speaking, it belongs to the type of "turning more and more", just like the red-headed machine adopted by Honda S2000, but you can’t always turn up the speed to get cool instead of commuting, can you?The silicone oil fan is similar. In congested cities and some low-speed environments, its heat dissipation performance is difficult to guarantee, but it can provide strong heat dissipation performance and high reliability in some high-speed crossing environments or desert environments.

Home of the car

  Many people think that the silicone oil cooling fan is a product of the last century, and it is rarely used in gasoline engines now, and it is hard to see it in today’s new generation of hardliners. It originally belongs to a mechanical temperature control fan, powered by the crankshaft pulley of the engine, and driven by a belt to rotate the silicone oil cooling fan. When it is started, it can hear a loud noise. It is this silicone oil fan that makes people look askance, as if it is a large displacement. The off-road vehicle uses a silicone oil fan, but the focus is on its reliability.

Analysis of product characteristics;Introducing transparent chassis /MTS all-terrain system

Home of the car

  Transparent chassis is nothing new. From the propaganda of Land Rover in the early days, people can understand the concept of transparent chassis. Through the intervention of cameras, vehicles can have more observation dimensions when traveling off-road. Through the screen, we can get the road conditions in real time, which can play a great auxiliary role in judging the route and avoiding danger. The familiar Toyota MTS all-terrain system can automatically choose the best driving mode according to the transmission of road conditions.Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) can calmly face all kinds of complicated road conditions.The all-terrain selection system also adds Zita Law and automatic mode,The crawling system has also been re-optimized, and the speed can be controlled in the off-road process. Combined with the transparent chassis, the land patrol LC300 has realized the intelligent off-road experience in line with the current mainstream trend.

Analysis of product characteristics;Welding technology of non-load-bearing body/brand-new frame

Home of the car

  From the chief engineer’s mouth, we can see that they have a lot of pride in the land patrol with TNGA-F platform. The land patrol LC300 is the first mass-produced vehicle with non-load-bearing body under TNGA framework, and its frame has undergone a brand-new welding process, and a lot of weight reduction work has been done on the premise of ensuring strength. The welding of the body frame is no longer connected by traditional overlapping welding, but is approximately "seamless fusion" on a plane.

Home of the car

  In addition, in order to change the heavy front of the previous generation Land Patrol, the engineer adjusted the position of its engine gearbox, and the height dropped by 28mm, while the whole body moved back by 70mm, and the front and rear weight reached 53.5:46.5, which is undoubtedly a very positive and important change for a large hard-core SUV model. The change of center of gravity and overall weight will greatly affect its driving performance in various road conditions.

Analysis of product characteristics;E-KDSS system/second generation TSS system

Home of the car

  What is KDSS?KDSS is not magical, but it is indeed a unique martial art of Toyota. It is a hydraulic self-adaptive adjustable balance bar system, which can be regarded as a kind of active suspension. The sensor will predict your driving environment and road conditions according to a series of dimensions such as vehicle speed and left and right compression of the car body, and adjust the hardness of the balance bar in real time, thus affecting the car body roll and suspension stroke.

  Once the system senses that the vehicle speed is high, the KDSS hydraulic shock absorber will become hard, and the support of the original vehicle suspension will be improved by changing the hardness of the balance bar. If you feel that the vehicle speed is low, for example, if you cross the road and the left and right wheels expand and contract, the pressure difference of KDSS oil shock absorber will become softer, and it will be easier to release the stroke, so that the four wheels can touch the ground as much as possible, increase the friction and reduce the appearance of cross shafts.

Home of the car

  But in fact, for those professional players who really use land patrol to play cross-country, the biggest drawback of KDSS is that it affects the vehicle’s elevation. If the elevation does not exceed 2 inches, the operating range of KDSS will be stretched to the limit, and then it will fail. The alarm light will always be on, and the after-sales maintenance and replacement cost of KDSS is not low, just tens of thousands of pieces. Even if you want to tear it down, you need a series of matching and re-purchasing new balance bars, and the price is also very expensive. so~ Unless you are a targeted professional group, there is absolutely no need to have too many ideas about KDSS. It is a way to have both, not to pursue the extreme in a certain direction, and it is enough for most people.

  On the new generation of land patrol LC300, this system has become an electric control system. Obviously, its sensitivity, response speed and accuracy will be significantly improved, and its sensitivity to road changes will be better, which is worth looking forward to.

Home of the car

  The land patrol LC300 is also equipped with the second generation Toyota Safety Sense, which enables it to have better safety early warning performance in urban environment and pavement environment.Compared with the previous pre-collision system, two new functions have been added;Help avoid collisions or reduce injuries by detecting pedestrians and cyclists during the day and night.

  The first realization scenario is to detect oncoming vehicles and pedestrians crossing the road when the vehicles turn in any direction. The second realization scenario is: the active lane keeping and collision prevention system is not sophisticated, but for a hard-core model with classic heritage, the increase of these auxiliary configurations will undoubtedly make it have better active safety performance in paving environment and highway. In addition, the land patrol LC300 is also equipped with a parking assistance system, which can identify obstacles or pedestrians in the rear during parking, which is very necessary for "it is so huge".

Analysis of product characteristics;Driving assistance/comfort adaptation

  In addition to the above parts, the land patrol LC300 has been improved in many details, such as changing the inclination angle of the shock absorber again. After being tested and adjusted by Dakar drivers,Combined with these changes and optimizations, the new model will have more comfortable and faster steering performance and handling, and its directivity and vibration filtering performance will also be improved.In terms of comfort in the car, the land patrol LC300 also has pursuits, such as; With the adjustment of the seat position, the steering wheel will also be adjusted to bring more comfortable driving experience and reduce the driver’s fatigue.

Home of the car

  On the brand-new land patrol LC300, NVH performance is highlighted. Take the 3.3T diesel as an example. Even when driving fast in a non-paved environment, people in the front and rear rows of the car can easily talk at a normal volume. Just as Toyota said, they hope that this car can not only take you anywhere, but also drive and use it more easily in a paved environment, and minimize fatigue.


Editor’s Summary: Inheriting the Initial Heart & Trying to Break the Circle

  TNGA-F, non-load-bearing, new welding technology, silicone oil fan … These actions are not just about paying tribute to classics or selling feelings. I believe Toyota is well aware of the significance of land cruisers to Toyota brands. It can be seen that Toyota has tried its best to retain the characteristics and soul of land cruisers in research and development, so that it can continue to gallop anywhere in the world.

  The blessings such as E-KDSS, MTS and TSS make it more in line with the comprehensive needs of the new era. Even if you are a tough guy, you will not forget your tenderness. Let more people have and like it is something Toyota must do, not just land patrol, but what every "off-road vehicle" wants to do and is doing today. After all, who doesn’t want it to be sold to more and wider people? Look at Big G, look at herdsman, look at Tank 300 … Which one doesn’t think so?

  Next, let’s have a static real car. Although we really don’t know the exact situation of the version of the Bank of China and parallel imports at present, I suggest you can look forward to it. (Text/car home Ren Bo)


Sadayoshi Koyari, a retired former chief engineer of Land Patrol, gave you a good message.

  There is a promise between the Land Cruiser and our customers. Customers trust this car, and many people regard it as a family member. We can’t betray this trust. This means that we always realize that they have put their lives in our hands. I believe the task of this car is to take you anywhere you want and take you home intact, no matter what!

Prior to this, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has maintained a steady growth of double digits for many years. According to Zheng Xu, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Construction Engineering, this is closely related to the concept of "core competence building" that enterprises have been adhering to since the 11th Five-Year Plan.

Transformation is the key secret for Shanghai Construction Engineering to enhance its core competence. "During the’ Thirteenth Five-Year Plan’ period, Shanghai Construction Engineering insisted on benchmarking world-class enterprises and focusing on core capacity building, maintaining a good development trend of high quality and sustainability." Zheng Xu said. In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. will stand at a brand-new starting line, further promote the "1+7+X" national market layout, continue to serve the national strategy, and strive to build a world-class construction life cycle service provider, so that the forward-looking strategic layout, the pursuit of emerging businesses and the corporate culture advocating technology will continue to promote the strong growth of enterprises.

National layout: going deeper and wider

In the view of Shanghai Construction Engineering, the value of business innovation mainly depends on the country and market demand. Aiming at the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the construction of xiong’an new area, the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, and the national strategy of "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the pace of Shanghai’s construction is spread across 34 provincial-level administrative regions, more than 150 cities and 23 countries along the "Belt and Road".

● Linkage of the whole industry chain

It is far from enough to cover the project in the local area, but it is more necessary to go well, go solid and go deep. While better serving the overall development of the country, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has continuously optimized and adjusted the market development layout, from "landing on the beach" for individual soldiers to "three-dimensional operations" for the whole industrial chain of the group army, and the advantages of the whole industrial chain have been fully demonstrated in the strategy of serving the country.

In the southern new town of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the first large-scale fixed muck resource utilization plant in China was put into operation. It can be used as road building materials after batch treatment, and has good economic, social and environmental benefits. In this project, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has not only exerted its construction ability, but also demonstrated its powerful design ability of "hidden".

As the development potential of China’s ecological environment management industry is constantly emerging, Shanghai Construction Engineering regards it as a new space for growth and development. Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. actively forged the whole industrial chain, and continued to exert its strength in green industries such as sewage and sludge treatment, comprehensive environmental management, soil remediation, solid waste disposal, sponge city and garden landscape.

● "Grinding a sword in ten years"

The concept of "based on Shanghai and going to the whole country", such as a lighthouse, guides Shanghai Construction Engineering to find a new way to achieve steady growth. After ten years of sharpening a sword, the nationalization strategy of Shanghai Construction Engineering has been deepened, and the goal of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" has been achieved ahead of schedule. Shanghai Construction Engineering has left a figure as an "infrastructure giant" among numerous super projects in China.

In Shanghai, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. participated in the construction of supporting projects such as the Third China International Import Expo, China Flower Expo, E-sports S10 and FIFA Club World Cup. The construction of Zhangjiang Science City "Science Gate", Xujiahui Center, Tesla Giga Shanghai, hard X-ray ultra-deep foundation pit and other projects has repeatedly set or refreshed construction records; The Huali 12-inch advanced production line construction project, the 6th generation AMOLED production line project of Hehui Optoelectronics, and the Shanghai light source line station will help Shanghai’s advanced manufacturing development and the construction of science and technology innovation center.

In the Yangtze River Delta region, Shanghai Construction Engineering has formed a pattern of whole group, whole industry and full coverage. A series of landmark projects have successively landed, including the Yungu Campus of West Lake University and the Yangtze River Delta Roadshow Center. The industrial base of building components and the newly opened Yuanshi mine in Huzhou have achieved good social and economic benefits.

Actively integrate into the national strategy, and show the temperament and craftsmanship of construction workers. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Macau Port Management Area Tourist Inspection Building built by Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. was completed with high speed and high quality, which highlighted its strong construction ability and fighting spirit. In the South China market, it has entered the local mainstream market by undertaking landmark projects such as the Galaxy Yabao Twin Towers, Shenzhen Campus of Sun Yat-sen University and Xili Campus of Shenzhen University.

For Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., the nationalization strategy will continue to promote the in-depth development of enterprises during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period. It is understood that during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the domestic market structure of Shanghai Construction Engineering changed from "1+5+X" to "1+7+X". Starting from this year, we will deeply participate in the construction of regional central cities, accelerate our integration into local mainstream markets, and continuously improve our resource allocation and management capabilities.

Emerging business: extension and linkage

In the view of Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., architecture is a living product with a long life cycle. Only by providing services in the whole process from pre-planning, consulting and design services, investment and construction to operation and maintenance and even renovation can the enterprise value be truly realized. Guided by this, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, emerging businesses such as Shanghai’s construction city renewal, water conservancy and water affairs, ecological environment, industrial construction and construction services developed rapidly and gradually took the lead in the industry.

● Increase investment to form a first-Mover advantage

In the process of cultivating growth and industrialization, new industries and new technologies can become new scale growth poles and profit growth points, but only by taking the lead in occupying the market can we have room for sustainable growth. In terms of new business layout, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has continuously increased its investment in scientific research, and the investment has been increasing for many years.

Following the concept of "no suspension, no closure, no road closure and no demolition", Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is deeply involved in urban renewal. More than 70% of the old buildings in the Bund area of Shanghai have been renovated by Shanghai Construction Engineering. Through continuous practice and exploration, Shanghai Construction Engineering has developed a market brand. The urban renewal business has an annual business increment of about 50 billion yuan.

In recent years, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. successively acquired Zhejiang Hydropower Construction and Installation Co., Ltd. and Shanghai greenman Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., and jointly established Shanghai Zhuoyu Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Zhuoyuan Water Ecological Environment Engineering Co., Ltd. with the head enterprises, which opened up new markets in the fields of soil remediation, water system management and water conservancy engineering.

● Deepening coordination and extension of industrial chain

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the industrial construction technology of Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. made a new breakthrough. For example, the trial production of ultra-high performance concrete precast curtain wall hanging plate was successful, and the finished product of 30-meter double T-beam passed the acceptance and was put into mass production. Shanghai Construction Engineering Building Materials Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shanghai Construction Engineering Building Materials Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., has maintained a leading position in the research and development of new materials such as high-performance and environment-friendly concrete.

In addition, for Shanghai Construction Engineering, the further extension of the industrial chain to the new format of construction service is the key to its transformation from contractor to service provider, which has important strategic significance. Nowadays, new formats such as e-commerce, building technical services, intelligent operation and maintenance of building facilities and equipment, urban road maintenance, rail transit station maintenance, financial leasing, and nuclear energy construction have gradually become important fulcrums for Shanghai Construction Engineering to transform into a building life cycle service provider.

In 2020, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. entered a brand-new field-cooperated with sinap to jointly carry out the research and development of experimental reactor installation technology for the strategic pilot science and technology project "Future Advanced Nuclear Fission Energy-Thorium-based molten salt reactor Nuclear Energy System (TMSR)" of China Academy of Sciences, and promoted the technical development and industrial chain layout of TMSR. Including nuclear energy project, new infrastructure construction such as big data computing center, high-speed maglev debugging line, domestic first-made large cruise ship and offshore wind power project has become another emerging business during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period of Shanghai Construction Engineering.

Technology-driven: Cultivation and Innovation

The Tesla Giga Shanghai (Phase I) project with a total construction area of about 145,000 square meters was built by Shanghai Construction Engineering. During the construction process, Shanghai Construction Engineering adopted BIM (Building Information Model) and prefabricated assembly technology, and it took only six months from piling to the completion of the factory building structure, which fully demonstrated the "Shanghai speed". Behind such a super project is a strong system support. As the first enterprise in the industry to establish a two-level R&D system of "Academia Sinica" mode, Shanghai Construction Engineering has continuously increased its investment in scientific research for many years, making the innovation system and R&D level stand at the high point of the industry.

● Drive the high-quality development of the industry

Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has always regarded scientific and technological innovation as an important part of leading the transformation and development, and achieved a number of industry-leading new achievements in the application of green, industrialized and digital technologies.

In the past five years, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has invested a total of 27.2 billion yuan in scientific and technological innovation, presided over 4 national key R&D plan projects and 19 national key R&D plan projects, with a substantial increase in the number of projects and new breakthroughs in the scope of fields involved; Accumulated 76 provincial and ministerial level science and technology awards, including 4 national science and technology awards; Accumulated nearly 950 invention patents; More than 60 national and industry standards have been compiled.

For the public, the direct benefit of cultivating technology is to experience high-quality supporting infrastructure faster and better. In 2019, the first national A-level theater "Jiushu Future Art Center" in the suburbs of Shanghai was completed and put into operation. It usually takes more than four years to complete such a high-standard and multifunctional theater, but it only took two years and nine months for the "Nine Trees Future Art Center" to be completed and delivered. This is because the project contractor Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. adopts EPC (General Contracting) mode, which saves construction time and reduces construction cost. According to reports, in the future, digital and industrialized technologies will bring business scale of 50 billion yuan and 60 billion yuan respectively.
