Han Lixuan’s barbecue buffet "Duck meat turns into beef", and the staff said that it "fooled the whole world"

[Guided by the survey of Shida University]

Friends who like to eat barbecue buffet may all know Han Lixuan barbecue buffet chain. Han Lixuan is headquartered in Beijing, with more than 200 chain stores in China and two in Changsha. In Hanlixuan Barbecue Restaurant, beef is the most popular with customers. Customers can enjoy beef rolls and beef in sauce indefinitely as long as they spend 49 yuan, which seems to be very cost-effective. However, according to a survey conducted by Shida University, the reporter recently conducted a half-month undercover operation in a Hanlixuan Barbecue Restaurant located on the third road of Fenglin in Changsha, but revealed the hidden secrets behind these buffet beef.

"Hanlixuan" barbecue buffet has more than 200 chain stores nationwide.

In this Beijing Hanlixuan buffet barbecue restaurant in Wenxuan Road, Yuelu District, Changsha, the spacious restaurant is packed. There are hundreds of kinds of dishes such as beef and mutton, and customers can enter the store to eat casually at 49 yuan. Beef is usually the first choice for guests.

In this Beijing Hanlixuan barbecue buffet, there are two kinds of beef, one is beef rolls, and the other is beef made with sauce. So, how are these beef made?

The reporter decided to go undercover into this Beijing Hanlixuan self-service barbecue restaurant to investigate. As a result, the reporter heard an amazing statement only on the third day of undercover.

Buffet beef is sought after, but employees expose themselves as "made of duck meat"

The staff told the reporter frankly that the beef in this Hanlixuan barbecue shop is made of duck breast.

As a large chain store in China, Beijing Hanlixuan barbecue buffet should be operated in good faith. How can duck be used as beef? Is the employee’s statement true? How did you turn duck meat into beef here? The reporter continued to conduct a long-term undercover investigation in Beijing Hanlixuan Barbecue Store, and finally photographed the whole process of fraud.

Behind a narrow corridor is the back kitchen of Beijing Hanlixuan self-service barbecue restaurant. Everyone is busy with their work. On the ground in the corner of the kitchen, there are peeled duck breasts, and the ground is full of dirty water. A staff member even stepped on the frozen peeled duck breasts many times with his feet.

After thawing, these peeled duck breasts were put into a meat grinder.

A worker put the peeled duck breasts into a meat grinder, broke the duck meat, and the duck meat that fell to the ground was picked up and reused.

A few minutes later, the basin was filled with minced duck breast meat, and then some minced duck meat left over from two or three days ago was mixed into this pile of raw materials.

Next, the staff added a special red sauce to these duck breasts for stirring. When the duck meat is evenly mixed with the red sauce, the duck meat becomes beef.

In this way, the skinless duck breast meat turned into beef and was put on the dining table for customers to choose. In this Han Lixuan buffet barbecue restaurant, the reporter witnessed the process of mixing frozen duck meat with duck meat a few days ago and then making fake beef.

Beijing Hanlixuan self-service barbecue restaurant is known as a large chain store. In the external publicity, it claims that it "always pays attention to the quality of dishes" and that it will become a "respected" restaurant chain brand. But it is such a store that secretly makes fake beef out of frozen duck meat, and even mixes it with duck meat that may have deteriorated a few days ago, which not only deceives consumers, but also harms consumers’ health. However, the employees of Beijing Hanlixuan barbecue restaurant are not ashamed, and even proud.

Duck meat forged beef boasted that it had "fooled the whole world"

The staff of Han Lixuan Barbecue Shop is obviously complacent about their fake beef, claiming that the diners will never see it. During the undercover period, no diners really questioned the authenticity of beef.

However, another group of reporters decided to come forward and debunk the true face of beef in Hanlixuan barbecue shop.

The reporter questioned face to face, and the staff made all kinds of excuses.

The staff’s explanation is ridiculous. On the official website of Hanlixuan Barbecue Buffet, we can see that the company claims to subvert the traditional operation mode, but their so-called subversion mode is to make fake beef out of duck meat? The concept of green diet advocated by them is to process all the spoiled duck meat, the duck meat dropped on the ground and the duck meat trampled with their feet into fake beef?

The raw materials of Beijing Hanlixuan Barbecue Restaurant are said to be purchased and distributed uniformly throughout the country, but there is no beef in these uniformly distributed raw materials, but there are quite a few peeled duck breasts.

Duck meat raw materials for counterfeiting are actually purchased and distributed in a unified way.

Subsequently, these frozen duck breasts were forged into beef and sent to the table. The staff of Hanlixuan Barbecue Store claimed that they would not eat them.

Beijing Hanlixuan Barbecue Shop is all over the country, but in Changsha, we are angry to see that the so-called beef in the shop is forged with duck meat, and even mixed with spoiled duck meat, and the duck meat used for counterfeiting is uniformly distributed. If it weren’t for the reporter’s long and hard undercover investigation, who would know the truth! Consumers will always be deceived, fraud will continue forever, and Han Lixuan will continue to "fool the world". Honesty is not only the foundation of doing business, but also the foundation of being a man. Consumers don’t welcome this so-called national chain of fraud! We expect law enforcement agencies to strike hard, not to cover up their ugliness.

Fans are stopped playing for idols, and the website does not refund money! Even hardware companies are keen to set up star lists.

Both network anchors and idol stars are now supported by fans’ real money: spending money to buy virtual gifts, flowers and diamonds, and sending idols to the forefront of the list set by the platform, as evidence that idols are popular, explosive and worthy of advertisers-this is the general rule in the era of fan economy and traffic.

However, when fans exhausted their wallet labor to support their idols, they also walked into the rights trap created by the list setters and their upstream and downstream industries: virtual flowers that were not used because of changing the rules of the list were unable to get a refund; The automatic ranking software used to improve efficiency has been blocked, and who can I ask for the membership money in 2040? The list promises resources to idols. What if fans don’t fulfill their promises?

In the opinion of experts, this behavior of brushing data for idols makes the entire Internet industry sink into the carnival of crazy wallet harvesting, which is not beneficial to the long-term development of the industry.

The list was stopped and the website did not refund money.

"The star power list is the root of all evil." A Xiao, a 29-year-old white-collar worker, is a fan of H, the star who debuted in the talent show "Creation Camp 2019". In July, in order to make H rank in the top three in the "New Star List", the fan group began to spend a lot of time and money playing the list: "Reading, forwarding, commenting and posting about Weibo can get extra points, commonly known as interaction. If you don’t have time to interact, you can spend money directly. "

On the page of sending flowers in Weibo, there is only a payment button, and there is no explanation about the product.

A Xiao introduced that Weibo sells virtual flowers, one in 2 yuan, and every time a flower is sent, the idol’s admiration value increases by 2 points: "It is said that flowers are sent to idols, but in fact, they have turned around and returned to Sina’s pocket, and idols can’t get a dime."

In mid-July, Weibo was suspended from the list of July H due to the accidental exposure of the fan group through special channels.

"It is to buy a Weibo trumpet to interact. Sina usually turns a blind eye. This time we were reported by competitors, and Weibo could not pretend to be blind." A Xiao said that in this way, the fans’ early investment has hit Shui Piao. "Forget the time, shouldn’t Sina refund the flowers bought with real money?"

A Xiao said that at first, Sina just returned the flowers to its account: "The people who sent the flowers can’t make the list. What’s the use of flowers for us?" After that, fans began to call 12345 and 96315 to complain that Sina violated consumer rights.

"At that time, I realized that we were actually consumers who spent money first, and then fans." A Xiao said that after the complaint lasted for a week, the Beijing Consumers Association talked about Weibo, and Weibo gradually returned the money. "Later, I went to look at it carefully. There is no explanation on the flower purchase page, and there is no regulation on whether it can be returned."

In August, H’s qualification for the list was restored, but A Xiao no longer bought flowers: "The list is a means for the website to make money, and I won’t send money to do stupid things again."

Software blocked, membership fee wasted

On June 10th, the "Star Aid App", the behind-the-scenes promoter of 100 million reposts, was investigated. A few days later, super fans said that "Super Aid" could not be used: "From then on, it returned to the era of manual ranking."

"Star Aid App" and "Super Aid" can help users to automatically perform some operations, such as commenting on Weibo who forwarded idols, sending Weibo related to idols, and automatically searching the names of idols, thus improving the rankings of idols on Sina’s "Star Power List" and Baidu Encyclopedia’s "Star Popularity List".

"Super aid is from Sina subsidiary, and the annual membership fee for an account is 35.88 yuan. The Star Aid App is even more fierce. 20 yuan, a member for one month, can bind many trumpets with one click, and then let these trumpets automatically sign in and forward every day. " Yan Yan told reporters that the two appeared in 2018 and were very popular among fans.

Where did these members’ money go after the service was stopped?

"Can Star Aid App refund money?" On the second day after the Star Aid App was investigated, Xiao Ran asked questions on the Weibo, but so far he couldn’t find a way. "I heard that the illegal profit was more than 8 million, but the App was taken off the shelf and people were arrested. I don’t know who to ask for a refund."

After the service of "Super Aid" stopped, some fans found that they could ask for a refund from the Sina subsidiary. "Send them payment voucher screenshots, Weibo nicknames and Alipay account numbers. It doesn’t matter if you have more money or less. Remember to ask Sina for a refund. " Weibo user @ honeythurts sent this Weibo on June 17th and got 718 reposts.

Not all fans who ask for a refund can get it. "Private letter, no refund, and now I will ignore it." Fan Xiaozhen said, "There is not much money, forget it."

Forwarding for resources, promises are hard to honor.

A trend has been observed in the side dishes that have been in the powder circle for nearly 10 years-more and more companies have joined the ranks of harvesting fans with the list. "Click on the authentication information, some are still film and television companies, and some are simply trading companies selling hardware department stores. Come and share a piece of it."

WeChat applet "Idol Guardian List", fans can get 15 votes by sending Tik Tok with his name.

Dishes told reporters that the common feature of these lists is that fans can vote for idols without spending money, but they must first complete some tasks to get tickets: "What do you need? Watching a 15-second video advertisement will give you 5 votes, and sending a Tik Tok with an idol name and a small program name will give you 15 votes. To put it bluntly, it is to use fans as advertisers, as free publicity, and as a resource for other apps. "

Video advertisement viewing task of WeChat applet "Love Bean Guardian List"

And what are the benefits of idols topping the list? "It’s nothing more than putting some advertisements that can reveal the idol image in some places for fans, such as airports, high-speed railway station, squares and cafes, and opening their small programs for a day, even including sending a low-end’ reward’ such as a Weibo manuscript." Xiaocai said that new fans are often confused by these "rewards", and the old fritters can see the tricks at a glance. "Take the coffee shop advertisement as an example. The promise is 10 coffee shops, 10 Starbucks or 10 coffee shops that you can’t name. There is a big difference. This kind of commitment is simply vague. After the fans sold the coolies, they found that they were different from what they thought in advance, and they had no place to say it. "

The first prize in the weekly list of WeChat applet "Idol Guardian List"

statement

Help the stars brush the list, fans are suspected of breaking the law.

"Internet idolize has evolved into a stage full of deception and profit-seeking, which is not the same as the idolize we used to know." Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, said in an interview with Beijing Evening News that, taking the flower incident as an example, according to the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law, online shopping goods have no reason to return within 7 days, while digital goods, such as audio-visual products and software, are generally not included. "Virtual flowers belong to what goods? There is no clear stipulation in the law whether it is suitable for 7 days to push the ring without reason or similar to software. The platform should be stated in the user agreement and clearly inform consumers in advance whether they can return. "

Zhu Wei thinks it is very difficult for users to get back the prepaid membership money after the automatic ranking software stops serving: "It is illegal to brush the list, not only the operator is illegal, but also the participants are illegal. In this case, the illegal income of the operator should be collected, and it is difficult for participants to claim a refund."

As for the practice that fans use labor to exchange resources for idols, Zhu Wei bluntly said that this is no longer a normal consumption behavior, and the identity of fans is no longer a consumer, which is very risky. "This does not constitute a contract, there is no clear consideration, and it is working for others and others are not aware of it. Whether the operators have relevant abilities and qualifications is often unknown. Whether these unilateral commitments are fulfilled or not, and there is no way to measure them. Don’t do this kind of exchange under the guise of giving aid to idols. This is likely to be fraud or even fraud. "

There are many ambiguities in the list rewards promised by Aidou App.

Quick comment

Stars rely on marketing, which is a pathological condition of society.

"The power of Chinese idols has made many people see the huge business opportunities, and it is easy to turn business opportunities into money." Zhu Wei said that the platform corner definitely welcomes fans to hit the list. "It can not only improve the popularity of the platform, but also make a lot of money. Idols can also profit from it, because they generally have no works, and they can only increase their popularity through repeated activities. As for whether they can get the benefits of selling flowers from the platform, only fans don’t know. How many people who take the lead in crazy support are sent by idols to brainwash and circle money, and fans will not know. "

"For the fan economy, the Internet industry is actually a contradictory attitude. On the one hand, fans can increase activity and increase income for the platform; On the other hand, intentional or unintentional, active and passive list brushing, water army and public relations behavior also make the industry hate it, because a good ecology needs a fair and equitable environment, but the reality is that a mouse has broken a pot of soup. When one person starts to brush the list, everyone starts to be forced to brush the list, and the whole ecology is broken. " Liu Xingliang, president of DCCI Internet Research Institute, believes that even at the expense of reducing the activity of the platform, such ecological destruction cannot be tolerated.

Liu Xingliang introduced that in such a list-brushing game, many ash production companies in the industry earned a lot of money, such as selling trumpet, being a navy soldier and making automatic list-brushing software. "A large part of the money in the entire industrial chain has been earned by these companies, but what these companies do is meaningless or even harmful to the industry and society. The criteria for evaluating stars have also changed from works to well-done marketing and high energy of fans, which is the morbid state of the whole society. "

Eight patients with viral pneumonia were initially identified as novel coronavirus.

  Cctv newsThe reporter learned from the Wuhan Municipal Health and Wellness Commission that yesterday (8th), eight patients with unexplained viral pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei Province were cured and discharged. It is understood that these eight patients were treated in relevant hospitals in Wuhan before, and then they were all concentrated in Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan. After diagnosis and treatment by medical institutions, these 8 patients have had no clinical manifestations such as fever and pneumonia for several days. After being diagnosed by clinical experts, they met the discharge standards and have all been discharged.

  Preliminary progress has been made in pathogen identification

  With regard to the progress of etiological identification of viral pneumonia with unknown causes in Wuhan, the reporter learned today (9th) from the expert group on preliminary evaluation of pathogen detection results that as of 21: 00 on January 7th, 2020, a novel coronavirus was detected in the laboratory, and the whole genome sequence of the virus was obtained. By nucleic acid detection, 15 cases were found to be novel coronavirus positive, and the virus was isolated from a positive patient sample, showing a typical coronavirus morphology under the electron microscope.

  The expert group believes that the pathogen of this unexplained viral pneumonia case was initially determined to be novel coronavirus. The laboratory used genome sequencing, nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and other methods to detect the etiology of patients’ alveolar lavage fluid, throat swab, blood and other samples.

  Coronavirus is a kind of pathogen that mainly causes respiratory and intestinal diseases. There are many regularly arranged protrusions on the surface of this kind of virus particles, and the whole virus particle is like a crown of an emperor, hence the name "coronavirus". Besides humans, coronavirus can also infect many mammals such as pigs, cows, cats, dogs, minks, camels, bats, mice, hedgehogs and many birds.

  So far, there are six known human coronaviruses. Among them, four coronaviruses are common in the population, with low pathogenicity, and generally only cause mild respiratory symptoms similar to the common cold. Two other coronaviruses — — Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, also known as SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus, can cause serious respiratory diseases. Novel coronavirus, which caused the epidemic, is different from the human coronavirus that has been found. Further scientific research is needed to understand the virus.

Does the cancellation of the household registration reform plan in 31 provinces affect the rights and interests of agricultural registered permanent residence?

  With the promulgation of the "Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Household Registration System" in Beijing, the household registration reform programs in 31 provinces across the country have all been completed. In these household reform schemes, agricultural registered permanent residence was explicitly cancelled, which indicates that agricultural registered permanent residence, which contains multiple emotions and connotations, has officially withdrawn from the historical stage. Will the cancellation of agricultural registered permanent residence affect farmers’ rights and interests? What impact will it have on the new urbanization construction?

  Farmers’ rights and interests are not affected.

  In the Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Household Registration System issued by the State Council in 2014, it was proposed that "a unified household registration system should be established in urban and rural areas, and the distinction between agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence and the blue-printed household registration derived from it should be abolished, and unified registration should be made as a resident household registration."

  Since 1958, China has divided agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence, resulting in different rights, guarantees and treatment. Agricultural registered permanent residence’s rights and interests are mainly collective land contracting rights, rural homestead use rights and collective income distribution rights, while non-agricultural registered permanent residence’s rights and interests are mainly social public services attached to household registration, including education, medical care, employment, insurance, housing and so on.

  According to experts’ analysis, the cancellation of agricultural registered permanent residence does not mean that all agricultural registered permanent residence will be transformed into non-agricultural registered permanent residence, but registered as a resident’s account, which will lay a foundation for gradually opening up the dual gap between urban and rural areas and realizing the equalization of public services in social security, education and medical care. Therefore, the actual rights and interests of farmers will not change.

  "After the identity of farmers and urban residents is unified, there is no distinction between agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence, only geographical differences." Zhou Yunqing, a professor of sociology at Wuhan University, said that at present, the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents is being merged one after another, and in the future, residents all over the country are expected to enjoy equal status and treatment.

  With the advancement of urbanization, public services such as urban education and housing security in many areas have also been opened to rural migrant workers and their children. According to the data released by the National Development and Reform Commission, in 2015, there were 13.671 million children of migrant workers in the compulsory education stage, and the proportion of them enrolled in public schools reached 80%. In addition to compulsory education, Sichuan, Chongqing, Zhejiang and other places have included migrant workers in the public rental housing security system.

  The equalization of urban and rural public services has accelerated.

  The Plan for Promoting 100 million Non-registered Population to Settle in Cities issued by the General Office of the State Council clearly stipulates that the conditions for settling in agricultural transfer population should be relaxed in an all-round way except for a few mega-cities. Focusing on the population of rural students entering cities and towns for further studies and joining the army, the agricultural transfer population who have lived in cities and towns for more than five years and migrated with their families, and the new generation of migrant workers, we will promote the agricultural transfer population who have the ability to work and live stably in cities and towns to settle down with their families in cities and towns.

  In 2015, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, located in Jianghan Plain, fully liberalized the restrictions on household registration. As long as rural residents rent legal private housing for urban residents and have stable employment, they, their spouses, fathers and minor children can all settle in Xiangyang City. At the same time, it is clear that farmers should not withdraw from the right to contracted management of land, the right to use homestead and the right to distribute collective income as preconditions when they settle down in urban areas.

  Zhao Di is the sales manager of a machinery enterprise in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. In June 2015, after Xiangyang City implemented the "zero threshold" for urban settlement, he was able to move his household registration from his hometown in Henan to Xiangyang City. "When the hukou is in the countryside, it is very inconvenient for children to go to school in Xiangyang. When they participate in some bidding to check their ID cards, they are even considered as impersonations. Now these problems are solved."

  The reporters interviewed in many places for half a month found that most small and medium-sized towns have liberalized the threshold for settlement, encouraging rural residents to settle in cities, so as to improve the urbanization rate of registered population. According to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the urbanization rate of China’s permanent population needs to increase by 3.9 percentage points in the next five years, and the urbanization rate of registered population needs to increase by 5.1 percentage points. In the future, it will be more convenient for agricultural population to move into cities and settle down.

  Dong Xiaowei, deputy director of the comprehensive pilot office of new urbanization in Langzhong City, Sichuan Province, made a detailed comparison between agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence: among the 12 rights associated with hukou, there are basically no policy differences between urban and rural areas, such as employment, pension insurance, education, basic public health services and public cultural services; Land rights and interests, direct grain subsidies, returning farmland to forests, rural five guarantees and poverty alleviation are unique to rural hukou; Only low-income cities have a higher monthly subsidy standard than rural areas, 40 yuan, and public rental housing and low-rent housing are unique to urban hukou.

  Dong Xiaowei said: "In recent years, preferential policies attached to agricultural registered permanent residence have been continuously introduced, which greatly increased the attractiveness of agricultural registered permanent residence. Some farmers are willing to work and live in the city, but they are unwilling to move their accounts, which is a rational choice after calculating an interest account. "

  Three trends of "anti-urbanization"

  Under the "one drop and one liter" of gold content in urban hukou and rural hukou, rural residents who used to prefer to spend money to "turn agriculture into non-agriculture" and eat "national grain" are now less willing to settle in cities year by year.

  A sample survey in Yicheng City, Hubei Province shows that 70% of local farmers are willing to move to cities, but they are unwilling to move into hukou. Huoqiu County, Anhui Province is one of the pilot counties to promote new urbanization. According to the data provided by Huoqiu County Public Security Bureau, in 2015, only 273 people moved into Chengguan Town in agricultural registered permanent residence, Huoqiu County. At present, there are still 1.5 million people in agricultural registered permanent residence.

  In some places, the phenomenon of "reverse urbanization" has gradually appeared.

  — — I was admitted to the university, but I didn’t move my hukou. Rural students in many places no longer move their registered permanent residence to cities after being admitted to universities. According to the data provided by the Public Security Bureau of Langzhong City, only 21 rural college students moved their household registration to the cities where they studied in 2015, mainly to big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Wei Li, deputy head of the Public Security Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Langzhong City, said that at present, rural college students are expected to settle in big cities unless they are admitted to key universities, and generally do not move out of rural areas.

  — — Buy a house, work and live in the city, but don’t move your account. Many small and medium-sized cities have zero threshold for settlement, and a considerable number of rural hukou personnel who have lived in cities all the year round have fully met the conditions for settlement in cities, but they still leave their hukou in rural areas.

  In September, 2015, Huoqiu County issued a policy, which stipulated that anyone who bought a new commercial house with a size of less than 144 square meters for the first time in the county planning area would be given a housing subsidy of 200 yuan per square meter, and rural registered residents could voluntarily choose to transfer their household registration. Yao Zebao, a 25-year-old villager in Linhuaigang Township, Huoqiu County, told reporters that he worked in Shanghai and went back to Huoqiu County to buy a house for the convenience of his children going to primary school in the county. "My income is limited, it is impossible to settle in Shanghai, and I will return to Huoqiu in the future. However, I am not going to move my hukou to the county, and it is better to stay in the rural policy. "

  — — Many people with urban hukou want to move their hukou back to the countryside. Wei Li said that although the current policy prohibits urban hukou from moving to rural areas, almost every day people call to ask how to change urban hukou into rural hukou.

  Bian Zisheng, a resident of Huoqiu County, said: "I used to be a rural hukou. In 1992, my parents spent 4,000 yuan to buy me a town hukou, so that I could go to school in the city. At that time, the rural hukou could not go to schools in the county. Now I regret it, there is neither contracted land nor homestead. "

  Urbanization cannot be a "digital article"

  During the half-month talk, reporters found in many places that many places have set expected goals for the urbanization rate of registered population, and some places have started "digital articles" to complete the target tasks.

  After canceling the distinction between agricultural and non-agricultural hukou, some cities counted all the population in urban areas divided by civil affairs as urban registered population, thus, a large number of farmers in urban villages and suburban villages were "urbanized". The heads of new urbanization functional departments in some areas said that by withdrawing counties and setting up districts, a large number of rural population in the suburbs are all counted as urban registered population, so as to ensure that the urbanization rate index is completed on schedule.

  In some places, land expropriation has become a means to complete the urbanization rate of the population. In a city in the west, the reporter found that in 2016, the city’s farmers settled in the city with a target of 56,000 people. When asked whether the set goal can be achieved, the person in charge of the comprehensive pilot office of new urbanization in the city said: "It can certainly be achieved. In a city as big as ours, there are tens of thousands of people if we casually engage in land acquisition."

  Li Quanjun, deputy director of the Development Planning Department of Anhui Development and Reform Commission, believes that the registered population can no longer fully reflect the real urbanization rate of a place. In the process of accelerating new urbanization, we should respect the laws of economic and social development and avoid the phenomenon of forcibly promoting urbanization.

  To truly promote the urbanization of people, in addition to strengthening the absorption function of cities, we should also revitalize rural land assets and "untie" farmers and land. In recent years, farmers’ "three rights" of land contractual management right, homestead use right and collective income distribution right have been strengthened, but the property value of farmers’ assets cannot be realized because the key institutional obstacles have not been fundamentally eliminated, which weakens farmers’ ability to bring capital into the city, which also "binds" farmers and land tightly.

  After the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the central government gradually began to promote the "separation of three powers" in rural land reform: implementing collective ownership, stabilizing farmers’ contracting rights, and releasing land management rights. On October 30 this year, the central government also issued the Opinions on Improving the Separation of Rural Land Ownership, Contracting Rights and Management Rights to further improve the rural land property rights system.

  Some places actively explore ways to revitalize rural land property rights and let farmers bring capital into cities. Using the mechanism of linking the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land, Chongqing has implemented the "land ticket" system, guiding farmers to voluntarily reclaim idle and abandoned rural construction land into cultivated land. After ensuring the development of rural areas, the formed indicators will be publicly traded in the market in the form of "land ticket". Yicheng City, Hubei Province is constantly exploring the exit mechanism of rural homestead. On the premise of confirming the right and determining the normal use area in the early stage, based on the principle of farmers’ voluntary participation, hundreds of households have voluntarily withdrawn from the area occupied by farmers.

Closed five department stores in six years, and Tianhe City’s transformation suffered setbacks.

Original Li Xinting Times Weekly

Guangdong Yuehai Tianhe City (hereinafter referred to as "Tianhe City"), which once opened the first year of China Shopping Center by Guangzhou Tianhe City Shopping Center, failed to survive the industry cycle.

Recently, according to the notice issued by WeChat official account, the official commercial WeChat of Tianhe City in Guangdong Province, due to the expiration of the lease contract of the shopping mall, Dongpu Store of Tianhe City Department Store in Guangzhou will be closed on December 31, 2023.

This is the second store that Tianhe City Department Store has closed in Guangzhou this year. As of the end of 2017, Tianhe City Department Store had 9 stores, but since then, Tianhe City Department Store has closed many department stores. After the closure of Dongpu Store, Tianhe City Department Store has only four stores in Yingmen Store, creating a new low in the number of stores in Tianhe City Department Store in recent years.

The continuous contraction of Tianhe City’s department store format is the epitome of the current offline consumption format iteration.

Under the impact of e-commerce, in recent years, traditional department store brands with old space design and poor consumption experience have successively withdrawn from public view. At the same time, new shopping centers that focus more on catering, tide play and other experience formats continue to attack. Between advance and retreat, Tianhe City is also striving to update its own format.

On December 7th, regarding the business operation of Tianhe City Department Store and Shopping Center, Time Weekly reporter called and sent a letter to Tianhe City’s parent company, Yuehai Investment (00270.HK), but no reply was received as of press time.

Close 5 stores in 6 years.

Tianhecheng Department Store Dongpu Store, which recently issued a notice of suspension, has been in business for nearly 12 years, but in terms of "qualifications", it is still slightly inferior to Tianhecheng Department Store Beijing Road Store, which closed at the beginning of the year.

On March 26th, Tianhe City Department Store Beijing Road Store closed due to the need of strategic adjustment. The store opened on September 26th, 2008, and has been in business for nearly 15 years by the time it closed.

In addition, in recent years, the size of Tianhe City department stores has continued to shrink. As of December 31, 2017, the number of Tianhe City department stores was 9. Since then, including the two stores closed this year, Yuehai Yangzhonghui Store, Dongguan Store and Foshan Nanhai Store have also been closed.

The continuous closing action is directly reflected in the weak performance of Tianhe City Department Store in recent years.

Yuehai Investment Financial Report shows that from 2015 to 2019, the annual revenue of Tianhe City Department Store declined as a whole. In 2019, Tianhe City Department Store’s annual revenue was 665 million Hong Kong dollars, down 7.2% year-on-year, and its pre-tax profit was 230 million yuan, down 2.3% year-on-year.

The latest financial report shows that in the first three quarters of 2023, the revenue of Tianhe City Department Store was 592 million yuan, down 0.7% year-on-year; Affected by the fair value loss of investment properties during this period and the gains from shortening the lease period of department stores, the pre-tax profit decreased by 84.8% to HK$ 23.787 million.

The decline of Tianhe City Department Store is the embodiment of the dilemma of the current traditional department store format.

The emerging e-commerce format in recent years has a huge impact on physical commerce. On December 6, Lai Yang, member of the Expert Committee of China Business Federation and executive vice president of Beijing Business Economics Association, told the Times Weekly reporter that in the era of cloud consumption, it has become a general trend for consumption to break the restrictions of time and space. Traditional department stores sell goods in stores, and labor costs, rental costs, offline channel costs, inventory costs, etc. need to be converted into product pricing, so commodity prices are on the high side.

"In contrast, online shop products have low cost, diverse choices and convenient delivery. Therefore, the opportunity for consumers to go to traditional department stores for rigid shopping needs is now tending to zero. " Lai Yang analyzed.

On the same day, a commercial real estate operator told Times Weekly that the biggest problem of traditional department stores is that the format is single and the space design has fallen behind the times.

"Traditional department stores are highly focused on retail, with limited supporting facilities and catering formats. There are almost no categories with particularly novel experiences, which are out of the current consumption hotspots, and the catering formats are often limited to street shops, lacking quality and special catering categories. At the same time, because there is no atrium in traditional department stores, customers will feel limited in terms of on-site activities, beauty and customer service. " The operator said.

Performance fluctuation of shopping center plate

While the traditional department store format has declined rapidly, the offline consumption format has also ushered in a breakthrough.

Laiyang told Times Weekly that people’s offline consumption behavior has shifted from meeting rigid demand to experiential consumption. Nowadays, consumers’ main demand for offline business has turned to socializing or discovering some novel and interesting products.

"The sense of existence in the offline retail format has been greatly reduced, and catering, leisure, culture and entertainment have become the key to stimulating offline consumption. The performance of offline businesses that have made breakthroughs and innovations in this regard is good, and they are still based on the traditional model, and the difficulty of survival will become more and more serious. " Lai Yang said.

Therefore, in recent years, new shopping centers that pay more attention to providing "experience" are constantly rising, and Yuehai Investment has also widely distributed shopping malls across the country.

In 2017, 2020 and 2022, Tianhe City Shopping Mall operated by Yuehai Investment in Tianjin, Panyu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen opened one after another. At the beginning of 2022, Tianhe City Shopping Center Beijing Road Store also reported that its business area continued to expand.

In the operation of shopping malls, Yuehai Tianhe City is struggling to catch up with the consumption trend.

Tianjin Tianhe City Shopping Center, which opened in 2017, is positioned as a one-stop "city enjoyment home", which not only introduces diversified formats such as fashion clothes, cultural travel experience and indoor entertainment, but also increases the proportion of catering formats to 30%; Panyu Tianhe City, which opened in 2020, introduced brands covering retail, catering, entertainment, education and other formats, providing a variety of experiences such as home aesthetics, trendy skin care and beauty, and trendy play.

Tianhe City, Shenzhen, which opened at the end of 2022, organically integrated with the Golden Beer House transformed from the site of Jinwei Brewery, and introduced the chain pub brand Tiaohai Tavern, which was popular among young people in recent years, and KUDDO COFFEE, a local coffee brand in Shenzhen.

Despite considerable efforts in operation, the performance of Yuehai Tianhe City has not improved significantly. In the first three quarters of this year, the total revenue of Yuehai Tianhe City Shopping Center also declined.

More importantly, Tianhe City Shopping Center, as the core pillar of Yuehai Tianhe City’s business, has also seen a decline in average occupancy rate in recent years. From 2019 to 2021, the average occupancy rate of Tianhe Shopping Center was 99.9%. However, in the first three quarters of 2022 and 2023, the index was 99.4% and 99.3% respectively.

The offline consumption environment is changing with each passing day. Can Tianhe City update its format in time to catch up with the trend? The result remains to be seen.
