On the road of digital transformation, Yunli’s excellent product strength and quality services have been helping Staples’ supply chain business to thrive."

Traditional procurement processes face digital transformation challenges

As the first office supply service provider in the industry to serve the whole country, Staples and its suppliers are prone to problems such as large reconciliation workload, low efficiency, and difficult monitoring of the whole order process based on the traditional supply chain procurement process, which hinders its progress in the digital age. Through digital settlement and collaborative products to open up communication barriers, upgrade automated invoicing systems, and improve business processing efficiency are Staples’ practical needs and expectations.

After a long period of research and rigorous selection, Staples has reached a strategic cooperation with Yunli (Ticket Easy Pass) in the global Enterprise Services field.

Value 1 Direct invoicing compliance Efficient

Using the "Settlement Collaboration Platform", Staples’ thousands of suppliers can receive the settlement data pushed by VP (Staples Supplier Settlement System) in a timely and accurate manner, and realize one-click issuance of online reconciliation invoices. The function of automatic ticket opening and matching tax classification codes avoids split errors, avoids staggering, reduces communication costs, realizes account matching, reduces costs and increases efficiency, and ensures efficient corporate invoicing compliance.

After using the collaborative platform to directly connect invoicing, the overall processing efficiency of bills increased by 80%, the single invoicing operation time was reduced by about 45 minutes year-on-year, and the probability of refund was reduced by 5% year-on-year, almost reaching 0 refunds.

Funding issues often have a direct impact on the health of the supply chain. For Staples, focusing on business digitalization is not only an important measure for its own development, but also a strategic deployment that reflects Staples’ business philosophy of integrity and win-win, and ensures the smooth development of partners’ business upstream and downstream in the supply chain.

Through the cooperative invoicing of Ticket Easy Pass settlement, the reconciliation information is confirmed online, and the invoicing information is reviewed in advance, the settlement efficiency is greatly improved, and the payment cycle of suppliers is greatly shortened. Through the Yunli (Ticket Easy Pass) digital platform, the transaction process of purchasers and suppliers is maintained, the financial pressure of suppliers is reduced, the overall supply is guaranteed to operate smoothly in a healthy and coordinated environment, and the last mile of settlement between Staples and upstream and downstream partners is connected.

The electronic issuance of special tickets has become the trend of the times. The Ticket Easy Pass Settlement Coordination Platform is the first batch of third-party platforms for the issuance of electronic special tickets approved by the national tax, and has obtained the filing of electronic invoices from 36 provincial tax bureaus across the country. When suppliers issue electronic invoices through the settlement coordination platform, Staples can receive the invoices, and the invoices and business orders are automatically matched without sending them. The system supports the invoicing requirements after the electronic issuance of special tickets. Under the special phone policy, Ticket Easy Pass can quickly iteratively meet the invoicing needs of suppliers, helping Staples to calmly cope with the trend of electronic issuance of special tickets.

By upgrading the traditional offline settlement model to online collaboration, Staples has reinvented its financial business data collection process, and realized the whole process information display of orders from procurement, settlement, invoicing, billing, and payment. This has laid the foundation for the comprehensive accumulation, fast processing, and real-time sharing of financial information, forming the transition from accounting to management.

Yunlianpin Yitong settlement collaboration platform, the whole process of order, return order, acceptance order, and settlement invoice data can be seen and traced. Through system construction and data analytics functions, we will build a financial "big data center" for Staples to help enterprises better perceive the economic and operating laws behind financial data, and completely subvert the transformation of decision-making based on experience into decision-making based on data insight.

At the press conference, Yu Chengdong introduced that he has invested 500 million yuan in the new M7 series of AITO, using solid materials and the best technology, bringing users the ultimate experience that is more advanced than far ahead.

According to reports, the new M7 in Wenjie is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-order intelligent driving system, which is the first to realize high-speed and urban high-order intelligent driving without relying on high-precision maps. It is expected that in December this year, the urban intelligent driving pilot assistance (urban NCA) will realize the intelligent driving experience that can be opened all over the country.

As a 250,000-class luxury medium and large SUV, the new M7 fully considers the needs of family travel, and the effective space in the big five-seat car reaches 3338 mm. At the same time, the six-seat layout is more flexible, and the overall space of the front, middle and rear three rows reaches 2605mm, which makes the six-seat and four-seat modes also have spacious interior space.

At the launch conference of the new M7, Yu Chengdong held a delivery ceremony for the small customers during the Chengdu Auto Show.

As the new M7 set a new high, Yu Chengdong also sighed with emotion: "It’s not easy to come back to life. Thanks to the hard work of the soldiers of Zhixuan Car, Car BU and related departments, thank them and congratulate them. "

In July this year, at the 14th China Automotive Blue Book Forum, Yu Chengdong once said that automobiles are Huawei’s only loss-making business.

The mayor of Zhangjiajie’s "entertainment" caused controversy. Netizens said that he was the most handsome in history.


    Zhao Xiaoming, mayor of Zhangjiajie, shows people with exaggerated cartoon images.



    Endorsement of Zhangjiajie International Country Music Festival with Cartoon Image



    Data Map: Zhao Xiaoming, Deputy Secretary of Zhangjiajie Municipal Committee and Mayor.


    "Writers are entertaining, scholars are entertaining, and now even the mayor is entertaining." Yesterday (6th), a video of Zhao Xiaoming, the mayor of Zhangjiajie, showing people with exaggerated cartoon image spread on the Internet, which caused a thousand waves, causing widespread controversy among netizens at home and abroad.


  "Cartoon mayor" triggered online controversy


    The opening of "2009 Zhangjiajie International Country Music Festival in China" is just around the corner, and Mayor Zhao Xiaoming can be described as a pioneer. As the "image ambassador" of this music festival, Zhao Xiaoming did not hesitate to "vilify himself" and showed people with the cartoon image of "grinning" in the image propaganda film of the music festival. The mayor personally endorsed a large-scale music festival and "sacrificed his life to get an electric shock" to appear on the screen with his exaggerated cartoon image, which may be the first time in China.


  Netizens called him "the most handsome mayor in history"


    Mayor Zhao’s "self-destructive image" and "giving his life to get an electric shock" caused a strong controversy on the Internet. A netizen in Hainan commented that "what does this make the mayor’s authority and dignity?" This netizen’s statement was immediately refuted by other netizens. Most netizens believe that the mayor is a "public servant" and does not have to be "high above" to reflect the authority of officials. Mayor Zhao’s act of being close to the people makes people feel very cordial; A netizen in Shandong said that "the creativity is very good, but the painting is too rough", which means that the exaggerated cartoon image of Mayor Zhao is "not flattering", while a netizen in Guangxi said that "the sexiest organ of a man is his mind, so he should be given a’ most handsome mayor in history’!"


  With some comments from netizens:


    Beijing netizen: like one! Such a move can increase the intimacy of officials!


    Jiangsu netizen: I hope all officials can be closer to the people in reality!


    Shanghai netizen: What’s the fuss? Foreign presidents personally design their own cartoon images!


    Shandong netizen: Creativity is good, but can’t it be painted better? ? This is not difficult, is it? ?


    Guangdong netizen: mayors all over the country should learn from this man. Don’t put on an official airs all day!


    Hunan netizen: Zhangjiajie has made great progress in urban construction and city appearance in the past two years. As a native of Zhangjiajie, I sincerely thank Mayor Zhao.


    American netizen: This is a kind of progress and closeness to the people. Officials in China often look arrogant. Do more similar things, which is beneficial!


    Shanxi netizen: very good, emancipate the mind and set an example of innovation! More approachable image.


    Fujian netizen: It is more important than cartoons to manage Zhangjiajie’s tourism environment better!


    Zhejiang netizen: it’s quite good, but it’s a little rough!


    Netizen in Chongqing: I hope more officials can be as popular as Mayor Zhao.


    Korean netizen: Look at those objections, and China’s official standard thought can be seen.


    Sichuan netizen: Hunan is the central region, but the dancer on the right in this picture is dressed like a western ethnic girl, not a local Miao and Tujia costume, which is a failure.


    Netizen in Liaoning: Very good, approachable and innovative. Most people should like it.


    Macau netizen: Controversy is also beneficial, at least raising the popularity of the music festival.


    Netizen in Xinjiang: The mayor is so handsome. I like him, and the music is very nice, which gives people a shocking feeling.


    Shaanxi netizen: My wife clamored to go to Zhangjiajie several years ago, but she never made it. This time, you can see that tickets for many performances have not increased in price, so let’s go together on annual leave!


    Jiangxi Netizen: Since it is the China International Country Music Festival, why should we use American country music songs? Why not use China folk music? Are you holding a music festival in China or an American country music festival in China? How dare you say that? While all over the world are building up the confidence of local culture, the mayor of China still uses American music as a propaganda sign of China folk music. Is this a manifestation of its contemporary "national inferiority complex"? Why do music festivals in China promote American music?


    Hunan netizen: this is the perfect combination of advanced management concept and Zhangjiajie’s original natural scenery. I believe that music energy saving can be as successful as promotional film, and we look forward to it!


    Netizen in Hebei: Hunan people just dare to think, dare to be the first, and live up to the eternal famous couplet at the entrance of Yuelu Academy.


    Guangxi netizen: I don’t think the cartoon image of Mayor Zhao is ugly at all. On the contrary, I can give him a "most handsome mayor in history" or something. The most handsome, coolest and sexiest organ of a man is not eyebrows, eyes, nose, face, muscles, but-thoughts! (Reporter Wang Xiaoyang)

The reporter investigated the beach where Zhangpu fell into the water: the villagers in the non-scenic area rarely went to the sea.

  On the afternoon of August 14th, 17 foreigners came to the beach near Zhenkou Village, Qianting Town, Zhangpu County, and were involved in the sea. After receiving the alarm, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government attached great importance to it and demanded that all efforts be made to search for and treat the wounded. The local authorities organized more than 330 search and rescue personnel, including emergency management, public security, health, ocean and fishery, and maritime search and rescue detachment of Shuguang Rescue Team, and dispatched 1 maritime search and rescue helicopter and 22 search and rescue vessels. As of 22: 00 on August 14th, the rescue work was all over, among which 11 people died after being rescued, and 6 people’s vital signs were stable.

  Today (15th) morning, when the reporter came to the beach near Jiangkou Village, Zhangpu County, Fujian Province, he saw that the warning line had been set up at the intersection entering the beach. On the beach at the scene of the incident, there was a warning sign saying "Safety against drowning and no swimming in the sea". Yang Huifang, a villager, was the first person who heard the call for help and went into the water to rescue him.

  Yang Huifang, a villager from Jiangkou Village, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province:About 2 o’clock (afternoon), I heard someone calling for help, and then I ran into the water first, and saved one first. Then I rescued him. He was always sober. He told me that there were more than a dozen people in the water below, and I couldn’t save them by myself. Then I ran to the other side to sail, and there happened to be several fishermen there, asking them to go out to save them together.

  Yang Huifang told reporters that the rescue coincided with the high tide of the sea, and the waves were higher than the waves. When the sea retreated, people were easily taken into the sea. He took life-saving equipment and swam to the sea, saving one person first. Due to the large number of people who fell into the water, Yang Huifang swam back to the shore to find reinforcements and rescued five more people with the villagers.

  Yang Huifang, a villager from Jiangkou Village, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province:There are basically many undercurrents in the sea, and the situation is very complicated. For example, when the waves come up (high tide), it seems that the water is pushed up, but after it comes up, the water is pulled back. Normally, we locals are afraid to go down in this water.

  Yang Huifang said that the tides are quite rough in July and August, and the tides are different every day. Even the villagers who are good at water rarely go to the sea, and this place is not a local tourist attraction. The tidal forecast of Fujian Ocean Forecasting Station shows that on August 14th, Zhangpu County appeared at 4: 56 all day, and the tidal height was 1.87 meters. The second is 17: 32, and the tide is 1.68 meters high.

  Yang Huifang, a villager from Jiangkou Village, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province:Our side is an ordinary beach, and few people usually come to play. I didn’t know where it came from yesterday (so many people). It’s not a scenic spot here, but an ordinary beach.

  The reporter learned from the investigation on the beach where the incident occurred that the waters not far away are the inshore farms of the whole village, doing traditional farming such as scallops and oysters. Yang Yucong, secretary of the General Party Branch of Jiangkou Village, told the reporter that the entire coastline of Jiangkou Village is two kilometers long, and there are more than a dozen warning signs along the coast of the sea like this. There have never been such heavy casualties in the village before.

  Yang Yucong, Secretary of the Party General Branch of Jiangkou Village, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province:There are warning signs on this side of the coastline, all of which are to persuade some foreign tourists to come here and not to get into the water, because the sea conditions here are more complicated.

  During the summer vacation, some seemingly safe places are actually very dangerous when playing at the seaside, and such incidents also sound the alarm for us.

  Yang Yucong, Secretary of the Party General Branch of Jiangkou Village, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province:In the future, for example, when we see foreigners entering the water, we will immediately stop it, and we will also put up warning signs more clearly.

  At present, there are 6 survivors of the Zhangpu drowning incident, whose vital signs are stable and in good condition, and the cause of the incident is still under investigation.

How to judge whether tea is good?

"Source of this article: People’s Daily Press"
A friend often asks me, "How to judge whether tea is good?" I seriously replied: "Tea looks clean, and it tastes sweet and delicious, which is good tea." They didn’t think so. They thought I was either perfunctory or empty. No way, I have to talk about how to judge whether tea is good.
Appearance. The shapes of tea are various, and the most common ones are strip-shaped, curly, long and round. No matter what the shape of tea leaves is, it is judged by the rope, tenderness, thickness, weight and uniformity of tea leaves. Usually, the rope is fine and tight, the gap is small, and the volume is small, followed by the bulky and loose one. Generally speaking, no matter what shape of tea leaves are, as long as they are compact and heavy, without yellow flakes and thick branches, they will not be bad.
Gloss. It is difficult to subjectively say which color of tea is absolutely good for tea from different producing areas and different technologies, but one thing can be objectively judged, that is, the gloss of tea. No matter what color tea is, as long as it looks bright, oily and textured, it is good tea.
Dry humidity. The water content standard of all kinds of tea is kept at 5%-7%. More than 8% of tea is easy to age, and more than 12% of tea is easy to mildew. At present, many tea farmers deliberately control the water content at more than 10% when making crude tea, so that the weight of tea will increase. This kind of raw tea will feel very good when it is first tried out of the oven, but the taste will change completely after a while, so the dryness and humidity of tea is very important. I introduce a method to measure the moisture content of tea by hand: hold a large handful of tea in your hand for three to four times repeatedly, and there is a tingling sensation in your hand. When you hear the sound of broken branches, the moisture content of tea will generally not exceed 8%; The tea with water content above 10% has no tingling sensation in the palm of your hand when you hold it, and the tea is a little soft and smells green. Of course, there is also a remedy to buy tea with high water content, that is, put the tea in an air-conditioned room with air conditioning, which can not only remove some water from the tea, but also prevent it from rapid oxidation.
Soup color. The color of soup refers to the color of tea soup after brewing, which can be divided into three types: normal color, bad color change and old color change. Normal color refers to the tea made under normal harvesting conditions, and the tea soup shows the normal color after brewing. For example, green tea or green tea is green or light yellow (also called goose yellow) after brewing; Black tea is red soup color or golden soup color, red and bright. Bad discoloration means that it is difficult for tea soup to present its proper color because of improper collection, transportation or initial preparation of fresh tea. For example, the soup color of deteriorated green tea is grayish brown or reddish in yellow. Aging discoloration means that it is difficult for tea soup to present its proper color due to aging in the production process. For example, if the tea leaves are not kneaded in time after fixation, and are not spread to cool or dry in time after kneading, the soup color of new tea will be old. Properly made new tea, the soup is bright and crystal clear; When the tea is aged, the soup color is yellow, brown and gray, and the turbidity is everywhere.
The above are some opinions on "observing the face and observing the color". Let’s talk about the soul of tea endoplasm.
Smell the fragrance. Different land, climate, varieties and production techniques make the aroma of all kinds of tea have their own characteristics and styles. As a whole, it can be summarized into five evaluation factors: purity, richness, freshness, flatness and coarseness.
Pure: the fragrance is pure, and there is no miscellaneous taste and greasy feeling.
Strong: The aroma is strong and long.
Fresh and refreshing: the smell is fresh, which makes people feel refreshed, such as being in a mountain or a place with a good ecological environment, and feeling in the air with high negative ions.
Ping: The aroma is plain, and there is no strange smell.
Coarse: fragrant, but the fragrance is mixed, choking the nose and spicy.
The durability of aroma is also a factor to judge the quality of tea. I condensed the criteria for judging good tea into four simple words-quiet and elegant, and the durability of tea is reflected in the word "quiet". "Quiet" means that the aroma of tea is long and lasting.
I sum up the smell of incense as follows: the pure is pure, the fragrance is elegant but not greasy, and the light and tasteful is quiet. With this feature, good tea is undoubtedly also.
Let’s talk about the taste of tea. Taste means the feeling after drinking. Alcohol is just right. Tea tastes fresh, mellow, fragrant and sweet. The taste of inferior tea is bitter, coarse and pungent, and some people interpret this performance as strong and sweet, especially the tea drinkers of the older generation in Chaoshan often describe this bad taste as "fleshy", "full mouth" and "strong enough".
Sometimes the tea soup tastes bad, which may be due to the thick water. Rough water is not a feeling, but a fact. Sometimes, we feel that after drinking tea soup, there are attachments on the tongue surface or the bottom of the tongue, which makes the tongue surface feel rough. This is because there are more particles in the tea soup. There are two sources of particulate matter: first, the tea processing process is unsanitary, dust and sand are attached, or wood ash particles are caused by improper baking with charcoal fire, which belongs to foreign coarse particles; Second, the release of particles is related to the quality of tea. For example, the tea growing at low altitude has high temperature, fast growth speed, thick leaves and loose fibers. After making and baking at high temperature, once soaked, the crumbs and particles on the edge of tea will dissolve in water, making the tea soup more particles and the tea soup thicker. This is an endogenous particle, which will have a dull and astringent taste after drinking.
In front of me, I talked about several basic elements of tea evaluation, from the shape, appearance and gloss of tea to the color, smell and taste of soup, and finally talked about the evaluation of leaf bottom.
Many people drink tea, whether they understand or not, they will pick up the cover bowl and smell it, and then poke the tea with the cover. The technical term of this link is "viewing the bottom of the leaf". Viewing the bottom of leaves is also a method to judge the grade of tea. Generally speaking, the color is the first thing to look at at the bottom of the leaves. After fully brewing, the leaves are spread out and the color is uniform, and one side is not red and the other side is green. The texture of the leaves is oily, there is no obvious explosion point or burning point, and the integrity of the leaves is high. It is good tea to have such a leaf bottom. Of course, tea culture is profound, and not all teas are the same. Some teas with obvious characteristics, such as Jin Junmei in Tongmuguan, are still tall and straight after soaking in water for more than 20 years, and each bud head is bright and thick, like a red tassel gun head; If it is Jin Junmei made of green tea buds from Guanwai or Jiangxi, after several times of brewing, all the buds will stick together and never stand up again.
Of course, these people need to be judged by people who have rich experience or major in tea research, and ordinary tea drinkers don’t need to spend so much energy to study these problems.
