Special feature of 1905 film network June 20th is the last day of the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival. As in previous years, Wang Jiayan, the film reviewer, will leave the film festival office on the 20th floor of Yihai Building to finish his annual film review and arrangement for half a year.

Wang Jiayan wears a pair of glasses. He is kind, smiling and approachable. Weibo nicknamed him "the four-eyed old king", and everyone knows him among Shanghai fans.

　

On the day of visiting Lao Wang, the film festival entered the fourth day, which coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival, and most of my colleagues went home for vacation. There is no extra venue this year, and the colleague in charge of the on-site viewing is also responsible for it. He said it would be easier than before, but as long as the film festival is still going on, he will stick to his post and finish it until the closing.

　

Every year at the beginning of the year, he will come here to review the films first and then arrange them. From participating in the preparation of the first film festival in 1993 to taking over the film arrangement in 1999, Lao Wang served the film festival for nearly 30 years and arranged films for the audience for more than 20 years. Inadvertently in the interview, he murmured, "I am the first person in the world to arrange films."

Working more than 12 hours a day, just for the perfect schedule.

Before the film schedule was released, Lao Wang would come to the office at 6: 30 every morning, and he was the only one in the whole building.

　

"In a quiet environment, you can calm down and arrange." He said that in previous years, you had to work until 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock every night. Now you have an assistant and get off work a little early at 8 o’clock and 9 o’clock. "You can’t solve the problem of reviewing films without spending these hours."

　

Lao Wang’s office environment is small, with a desk, a computer, a thermos bottle, a teacup and stacks of printed proofreading tables.

　

Every year, the film schedule of the film festival was arranged by him and was born here.

This year, he watched a total of 833 films, and finally 405 films from 62 countries and regions were shown. These films will be distributed in 40 cinemas and 45 screens in 10 days, with a total of 1423 screenings.

　

On the 14th day from the opening of the film festival, Lao Wang said to himself on Weibo, "Come on, my last shot will make the film festival as gorgeous as summer flowers". On the eighth day of the countdown, he confidently wrote, "I am still strong after thousands of blows, and I will let the east, west, north and south wind."

On the evening of June 3rd, at the moment when the screening schedule was finally announced, he excitedly reported the good news to the eagerly awaited fans. "The schedule has been released, and it’s your turn to do your homework. Please forgive me for the poor schedule. I wish you all a happy June day."

Lao Wang is 72 years old this year, and he is full of ambition. Half a month before invoicing, he was able to receive most of the films that were confirmed to be shown, and began to arrange films intensively. The time was tight and the task was heavy. "One draft, two drafts and three drafts must be made, and finally the film arrangement table for the audience is already the third draft."

The job of arranging films seems simple, and the actual operation process needs to face many details, which requires a lot of care and patience.

"The first draft is the most horrible, basically roughly in a row. I know which films are put in the hall, the middle hall and the small hall, but in the end, I will find many problems. For example, movies from the same country may be lined up in this hall and less in that hall. The proportion of feature films, cartoons, documentaries, or Asian films, European films, and American films should also be balanced as much as possible. "

　

Every time he reviews films, Lao Wang will discuss with his colleagues which films should be placed in which theaters, and also ask the opinions of film research experts. After each film festival officially releases the exhibition list, he will also judge the fans’ preference according to the number of online clicks of the article.

Even after more than 20 years of accumulated experience, he still can’t accurately grasp one point — — Know what the audience wants to see.

　

"Most people can know, for example, it is hard to find a ticket for 4K repair. This kind of old movie is thought to be placed in a central hall, with about 200 or 300 people. It has been shown to the public, and it may not be seen by many people, and there is no big hall. As a result, it is all sold out. Some movies are arranged in the hall, but few people buy them. "

　

Every year, the films shown are different, and the audience’s preferences are different, which is always a variable. But Lao Wang will still make a summary every year. "Of course, we must keep learning and do it better. There is no end to this. There will be regrets every time, and there will be mistakes every time. This is normal and a challenge to yourself. "　

　

All the Excellence is to finally discharge a perfect film arrangement table.

Pursuing more reasonable, scientific and artistic film arrangement

When he first worked as a film arranger at the film festival, Lao Wang faced only a dozen cinemas and more than 100 films. "At that time, the film arranger was very simple and the requirements were not high." With the increasing number of films, cinemas and audiences, the difficulty of film arrangement has gradually increased.

　

To this end, the film festival specially designed a computer film arranging system to help him operate the film arranging. Until now, this system is still being revised. "Up to now, it has not fully met our requirements. Every time I think of new problems during operation, I will give feedback to the person who designed the system and constantly improve it according to the requirements. "

　

In the past three years, Lao Wang has trained a young apprentice to help with proofreading. It takes a long time to proofread hundreds of movies. With the help of his apprentice, he shared a lot of work that he had to do alone in the past. "Every movie must meet its screening requirements, such as time, ticket price, format, different film frames, and some theaters’ servers can’t be played yet. These must be proofread. In addition, it is necessary to cooperate with the time and place of the film meeting. "

　

Just a casual introduction lists a bunch of problems that should be paid attention to in proofreading. He said, "The requirements in all aspects are ever-changing."

Nowadays, the film arrangement schedule of the last film festival is more and more recognized by fans, thanks to the experience and lessons learned from history. There were two "accidents", which impressed Lao Wang deeply.

　

Once, on the same day and night, the same film was arranged in Tianshan Cinema and Yonghua Cinema. Because it was a film copy, the two films could not be shown at the same time. He had to take remedial measures to temporarily add three short films to Yonghua Cinema. After Tianshan Cinema was released, he sent a copy to Yonghua Cinema, which was a timely solution to the crisis of the film collision that night.

　

In the past, film scheduling did not consider the issue of copy security, and the film was directly scheduled after it was approved, which sometimes led to the problem of changing other films because the film copy had not arrived.

The most serious one happened in 2004, when the short-listed films in the Golden Goblet Awards main competition had not arrived by the opening day of the competition, so other films had to be temporarily shown, which caused dissatisfaction among the audience.

　

After this mistake, the sequence of film arrangement in the future can be readjusted. All copies of films that arrive in Shanghai safely are given priority to a few days before the screening, and films that do not arrive in copies are discharged later. Lao Wang has a strong heart. "These experiences are all derived from problems. Without these hardships, there would not be such a mature period today."

This year, I also made a little change in the film scheduling schedule. Originally, the screening time of the last movie every day was 9 pm, and Lao Wang strongly suggested that it be advanced to 8: 50.

　

"Don’t underestimate these 10 minutes. Often the audience will catch the subway after watching the movie, which is a minute or two away." Ten minutes in advance made his work more difficult. Because from 6: 30 to 8: 50 in the previous show, you can’t schedule movies that are too long.

　

Lao Wang said that being able to think more about the fans is the motivation of his work. "Arranging films is just putting them in the hall. The difficulty lies in arranging them well. All the time spent is to arrange it better, more reasonable, more scientific and more artistic. "

"From the first session to the present, I am alone."

Every year, on the billing day of the film festival, Lao Wang will come to SFC Shanghai Studios, the main venue. He used to be the deputy general manager here. He will come to see the ticket sales in the cinema and recommend good films to the audience who buy tickets offline.

　

Even if it is now completely online ticket sales, the lively crowds in the cinema on the invoicing day in previous years are no longer there, and Lao Wang will not be absent. On the same day every year, he will take a group photo with the film-arranging table back plate of the cinema. He said, "It’s a complex, and it’s a habit."

Wang Jiayan’s father is Wang Guangyan, a famous director of science and education films in China, and also the deputy director of classic films. This year is the centenary of the founding of the Party. The White-haired Girl was selected as the screening unit of "Hundred Years’ Journey Red Light and Shadow". Lao Wang said with a smile, "This year is the film made by my father, and my son will arrange the film."

　

Influenced by his father, Lao Wang has been a movie fan since he was a child. When he was young, he often contributed to the magazine Movie Story. He likes watching domestic films. This film festival was highly recommended by him. "Many post-80s and post-90s people don’t know who Liu Qing is, but our generation all know him and the History of Entrepreneurship he wrote. The whole picture and music of the film are very good, and the performance is also very good."

Lao Wang has a deep connection with film work. He first worked in Shanghai Film Distribution and Projection Company, transferred to Shanghai Studios in 1991, and participated in the preparations for the first Shanghai International Film Festival in 1993.

　

In the 30 years since the opening of Shanghai Studios, he has been a witness and promoter all the way. Every department after the establishment of the Shanghai Film Festival has also left his footprints and figures. "The first session I was mainly responsible for the film trading market, the second session was a large-scale event office, the third session I was the news department, and the fourth session was the film festival department. I have been filming since the fourth and fifth sessions. "

The film festival has been held for 24 sessions, and it has gone through 28 years. The first session will always be the most impressive memory of Lao Wang.

"After the first session was completed, the International Producers Association informed that this was already a Class A international film festival, when Wu Yigong (founder) shed tears." He remembers more clearly the difficulties he faced because of his lack of experience when he held the first session.

　

At that time, he was the head of the marketing department of the film festival. "We set up a trading market in Shanghai Studios under very simple circumstances. There are domestic film studios, and one or two foreign countries have come, so there are only a few booths, unlike hundreds now. "

He still remembers that the first judges watched the film with the audience in the first hall of the cinema. The judges sat in the tenth row with a long table in front. "At that time, I was late for the movie and couldn’t find a place, or I took him."

　

In the era when the internet is still underdeveloped, the exhibition list of the Shanghai Film Festival is conveyed to the audience by publishing newspapers. Lao Wang recalled that on the first day of ticket sales at the film festival, the audience lined up in the cinema. Many people sat in line all night, some came from other places, and some bought tickets for their children. They were very enthusiastic. "This kind of touch prompted me to do a good job and be worthy of fans."

　

"At that time, the movie ticket was simple, and the title was not written." "At that time, the movie was still translated at the same time, and someone was holding a microphone to translate for the audience." "At that time, I was working in the cinema, and my legs were weak every day, coordinating this thing and that activity. The meeting in the cinema was taken out by me alone, and I hosted the meeting and the meeting. " ……

Those years, those things, those people, have always been deeply branded in his heart.

"From the first session to the present, I am alone, there is no second person, and all the people have retired." Lao Wang feels that he still insists on the first line of film screening at the film festival because he likes movies and likes this job. The growing film festival department and team partners also gave him a lot of help.

The night before the interview, he went to Shanghai Studios again. A little girl just watched it and took pictures in the cinema. As soon as she turned around, she saw him and asked him to sign the movie ticket. "It’s worthless for me to sign it, but she is very happy."

This year’s film festival has ended, and Lao Wang has temporarily left his post. He may go out to travel and relax as in previous years. Not surprisingly, he will return to the office of the film festival early next year. Come at 6: 30 in the morning, turn on the computer, make a cup of tea, continue to review and arrange films, and try to send a better schedule to the fans who meet in Shanghai once a year.

The State Council Information Office held a press conference on July 13th. Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, introduced the import and export of China’s foreign trade in the first half of this year. According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs, the import and export of China’s goods in the first half of this year was 14.12 trillion yuan, up 7.9% year-on-year, and foreign trade continued to maintain a steady and good momentum.

　　Financing is an important support for building the "Belt and Road". Most of the countries building the "Belt and Road" are developing countries, and some countries have gaps in construction funds. The financing bottleneck is a prominent challenge to achieve interconnection. Over the past 10 years since the initiative of "Building the Belt and Road" was put forward, China has actively carried out various forms of financial cooperation with countries and relevant institutions, promoted the network layout of financial institutions and financial services, provided strong support for financial cooperation among countries, and also provided a sustainable and powerful impetus for building the "Belt and Road".

　　Investment and financing promote the sustainable development of national economy and society.

　　On October 2nd, in Indonesia, the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway EMU, which was financed by China National Development Bank and jointly built by China and Indonesia, was officially opened. Indonesian President Joko said on his first trip to Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway that he felt very smooth and comfortable when the train was running at 350 kilometers per hour. As the flagship project of "One Belt, One Road" cooperation between China and Indonesia, after the official commercial operation of Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, the fastest travel time between Jakarta and Bandung will be reduced from 3.5 hours to 40 minutes, which will bring convenience to people and further release the local economic development potential.

　　On July 13th, in Bangladesh, the completion ceremony was held for the Dasher Gandhi Sewage Treatment Plant project, which was provided with preferential loans by the government of China, financed by The Export-Import Bank of China and jointly built by China and Bangladesh. The project is the first modern large-scale sewage treatment plant in the country and the largest single sewage treatment plant in South Asia so far. As a key project under the framework of "One Belt, One Road" jointly built by China and Bangladesh, the project can treat the domestic sewage of 5 million residents in Dhaka, greatly improving the quality of life of local people. Bangladeshi Prime Minister Hasina said that a sustainable and high-quality modern sewage treatment system is essential for the long-term stability of urban water supply.

　　… … … …

　　In the past 10 years, the two-way investment between China and the co-construction countries has accumulated more than 380 billion US dollars, and more than 3,000 cooperation projects have been carried out to jointly build the "Belt and Road", which has boosted the investment scale of nearly one trillion US dollars. From carlot Hydropower Station in Pakistan to the first garbage power generation project in Bangkok, Thailand; From Abuja Metro Phase I Project in Nigeria to Boccara International Airport in Nepal … … With the support of Chinese investment and financing, many infrastructure, capacity cooperation and eco-environmental protection projects have taken root in building a country together, injecting vitality into the sustainable development of local economy and society and becoming "national landmarks", "livelihood projects" and "cooperation monuments".

　　As a pioneer and an important participant in the Belt and Road Initiative, China has provided important financing support for the high-quality co-construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. Taking China National Development Bank and The Export-Import Bank of China as examples, by the end of 2022, China National Development Bank had directly provided high-quality financial services for more than 1,300 Belt and Road projects, effectively playing the leading role of development finance, bringing together domestic and foreign funds to jointly build the Belt and Road; The balance of The Export-Import Bank of China’s "Belt and Road" loans reached 2.2 trillion yuan equivalent, covering more than 130 co-construction countries. The loan projects have accumulated more than 400 billion US dollars of investment and promoted more than 2 trillion US dollars of trade.

　　The Kenyan Monnet Railway, financed and built by the Chinese side, has driven the local economy to develop continuously, creating tens of thousands of jobs directly and indirectly. Stephen Ndegewa, head of the Kenyan South-South Cooperation Think Tank, said that all the financing loans provided by China to African countries were used to implement specific projects, which really benefited the local people.

　　The space for financial cooperation is expanding in depth.

　　Over the past 10 years, the Silk Road Fund funded by China and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank established by China together with relevant countries have provided investment and financing support for hundreds of projects. The investment and financing channels for building the "Belt and Road" have been continuously broadened, the financial service system has been continuously improved, the supply of financial services has been continuously optimized, the investment and financing system and mechanism have been steadily innovated, the space for financial cooperation has been expanded in depth, and a diversified investment and financing system has been gradually established.

　　At present, the number of members of the AIIB has increased from 57 when it was founded to 109, from all over the world. As of October 10th this year, the AIIB has approved a total of 236 projects, with a total approved financing of over US$ 45 billion, driving capital of nearly US$ 150 billion, benefiting 36 members within and outside Asia, becoming a key member of the international multilateral governance system and an important financing platform to promote international development and jointly build the Belt and Road with high quality; Silk Road Fund provides important support for the investment and financing of the "Belt and Road" through a variety of investment and financing methods based on equity. By the end of June 2023, investment projects had spread to more than 60 countries and regions, and 75 investment projects had been signed, with a promised investment amount of about 22.04 billion US dollars; China signed a memorandum of cooperation with the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and other international financial institutions, and jointly established a multilateral development and financing cooperation center with multilateral development banks, which effectively promoted the participation of market funds and gathered more capital dividends for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" … …

　　In Tajikistan, key projects such as the municipal road and overpass construction project in Dushanbe, the highway modernization project from Dushanbe to neighboring Uzbekistan, and the Nurek hydropower station project have been comprehensively promoted due to the loan from the AIIB. Sevolo Safarov, former first deputy director of the Tajikistan President’s Strategic Research Center, said that the investment and financing projects of the AIIB directly target the weak links of infrastructure, which is conducive to stimulating local development vitality. "These projects have improved the living standards of local people and changed the country."

　　In the United Arab Emirates, Silk Road Fund participates in the investment of 700 MW photothermal and 250 MW photovoltaic solar power station projects in Dubai through cooperation with Dubai Hydropower Bureau and Saudi International Power and Water Company. After the project is fully put into production, it will provide clean electricity for 320,000 households. The relevant person in charge of Saudi International Power and Water Company said that the company and Silk Road Fund have been actively promoting multilateral cooperation. In November 2018, the two sides jointly invested and established a new energy investment cooperation platform, which provided strong support for many green energy projects such as wind power, photovoltaic and photothermal in West Asia and North Africa, and promoted the green development of countries and regions that jointly built the "Belt and Road".

　　In Nigeria, the third phase of the African Infrastructure Investment Fund (AIIF3), in which Silk Road Fund participated, provided financial support for Nigeria’s clean energy service platform. The platform provided clean energy solutions for business users by improving energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, which is of great significance to countries with huge power supply needs such as Nigeria. At present, the platform business has expanded from Nigeria to many countries in Africa. Paul Frankish, head of investor relations at AIIF3, said: "The cooperation between Silk Road Fund and us is mutually beneficial and win-win. Both sides share the same investment philosophy, which will enable cooperation to provide more support for the future development of African countries."

　　Enhance the ability to jointly build national financial services.

　　Some major infrastructure projects planned to jointly build the "Belt and Road" countries have a large amount of money and a long term, involving many parties or even multinational entities, which is difficult for a single commercial bank in many emerging market countries to undertake completely alone.

　　As one of the results of the first Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum, under the guidance of the People’s Bank of China, China Industrial and Commercial Bank initiated the establishment of the Belt and Road Inter-bank Normalization Cooperation Mechanism (BRBR Mechanism) to provide support for optimizing the financial supply structure, enhancing the national financial service capacity and promoting the international cooperation. Through this mechanism, member institutions can give full play to their respective advantages and form a joint force to jointly meet the needs of large-scale investment and financing.

　　In terms of investment and financing, the BRBR mechanism gives full play to the advantages of multilateral financial governance and mutually beneficial cooperation platforms, and promotes a large number of key projects to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative to bear fruit. The renovation and capacity expansion project of Luasim Hydropower Station in Angola has brought clean energy to the local area, effectively alleviating the power shortage; The floating LNG project in kolar, Mozambique, has helped Mozambique become an LNG exporter … … The projects that benefit the people’s livelihood have improved the sense of gain and happiness of the people who build the country together.

　　In terms of capital market, ICBC and members of the BRBR mechanism have successfully issued seven BRBR green bonds, raising more than 14 billion US dollars, and actively playing the role of debt capital market in resource allocation in supporting the "Belt and Road" construction.

　　In terms of theoretical research and standard rules, the BRBR mechanism has published many research results, such as "Research Report on the Belt and Road Green Finance (Investment) Index" and "Research Report on Financial Information Disclosure in Transition", which provides important reference indicators and excellent practical experience for the investment decision of building the Belt and Road.

　　At the same time, the BRBR mechanism held a number of capacity-building and special training activities to strengthen capacity-building and rally consensus among members. By the end of September, 2023, the BRBR mechanism had been extended to 164 member and observer institutions in 71 countries and regions, which effectively promoted the open business interaction, symmetrical information exchange and effective allocation of funds among financial institutions in countries that jointly built the Belt and Road Initiative, and jointly improved their business capability and risk management level.

　　In the past 10 years, the financial cooperation mechanism for building the "Belt and Road" has become increasingly sound, and the ability to finance has been further improved. China, together with relevant parties, formulated the Guiding Principles for the Belt and Road Financing and issued the Analysis Framework for the Sustainability of the Belt and Road Debt, which provides guidance for the joint construction of the Belt and Road financing cooperation. China has signed bilateral local currency swap agreements with 20 co-construction countries, and established RMB clearing arrangements in 17 co-construction countries. The number of participants, business volume and influence of RMB cross-border payment system have gradually increased, and the scale of local currency swap and cross-border settlement has continued to expand, effectively promoting trade and investment facilitation. At the same time, the financial supervision cooperation between China and the Co-construction countries has been continuously strengthened, a regional efficient supervision coordination mechanism has been established, the framework of financial crisis management and disposal has been improved, and the ability to jointly cope with financial risks has been improved.

Does the shareholder bear joint and several liability if he transfers his equity without making a full contribution?

How much do you know about the law?

Case review

Defendant Zhang and outsiders Wu Mou and Fu established Company A in 2015, with a registered capital of 5 million, and the time of contribution was May 31, 2017, when Zhang was the legal representative. Defendant Zhang holds 80% of the shares, while Wu Mou and Fu each hold 10%. On August 31, 2016, Fu transferred all 10% of his shares to the defendant Zhang, and at that time, the defendant Zhang held 90% of the shares, and the subscription time was June 4, 2017. On January 20, 2020, the legal person of Company A was changed from Zhang to Yu. On January 20, August 11 and August 14, 2020, the defendant Zhang transferred 66% of the company’s shares to the defendant Yu, and transferred 10% of the shares to the defendant Yu on November 27, 2020.

After a company entered bankruptcy proceedings due to insolvency, the company sued Zhang, Yu and Yu to fulfill their shareholders’ capital contribution obligations.

court decision

According to Article 88 of the Company Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), if a major shareholder fails to pay the capital contribution according to the date stipulated in the articles of association or the actual price of non-monetary property as capital contribution is significantly lower than the subscribed capital contribution, the transferor and transferee shall bear joint and several liabilities within the scope of insufficient capital contribution; If the transferee does not know and should not know of the above situation, the transferor shall bear the responsibility. "the Supreme People’s Court on the application of

<中华人民共和国公司法>Provisions on Several Issues (III) Paragraph 2 of Article 13 stipulates: "If the creditors of the company request the shareholders who have not fulfilled or have not fully fulfilled their capital contribution obligations to bear supplementary liability for the unpaid part of the company’s debts within the scope of unpaid principal and interest, the people’s court shall support it; Shareholders who have not fulfilled or fully fulfilled their capital contribution obligations have assumed the above responsibilities, and if other creditors make the same request, the people’s court will not support it. " The above-mentioned legal provisions apply to the situation that the shareholder’s capital contribution period has expired and the shareholder has the capital contribution obligation, but the shareholder fails to perform or fails to fully perform the capital contribution obligation.

In this case, when Zhang transferred the equity, his subscription period expired and the relevant funds have not been paid in full, and Yu and Yu did not pay the corresponding funds in full after the transfer of the equity, so Zhang, Yu and Yu should all bear the obligation and responsibility of capital contribution.

Judge’s statement

On July 1st, 2024, the Company Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) was formally implemented. What are the obligations of shareholders of a limited liability company?

The new Company Law has the following provisions:

Article 48 Shareholders may make capital contributions in currency, or in kind, intellectual property rights, land use rights, stock rights, creditor’s rights and other non-monetary properties that can be valued in currency and can be transferred according to law. However, except for the property that cannot be used as capital contribution as stipulated by laws and administrative regulations.

After the grace period expires, if the shareholder still fails to fulfill the obligation of capital contribution, the company may issue a notice of loss of rights to the shareholder upon the resolution of the board of directors, and the notice shall be issued in writing. Since the date of issuance of the notice, the shareholder has lost his unpaid equity.

The equity lost in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall be transferred according to law, or the registered capital shall be reduced accordingly and the equity shall be cancelled; If it is not transferred or cancelled within six months, the other shareholders of the company shall pay the corresponding capital contribution in full in proportion to their capital contribution.

If a shareholder disagrees with the loss of rights, he shall bring a lawsuit to the people’s court within 30 days from the date of receiving the notice of loss of rights.

Article 54 If the company is unable to pay off the debts due, the company or the creditors with due creditor’s rights have the right to require the shareholders who have subscribed for the capital contribution but have not reached the capital contribution deadline to pay the capital contribution in advance.

Article 51 After the establishment of a limited liability company, the board of directors shall check the capital contribution of the shareholders. If it is found that the shareholders fail to pay the capital contribution stipulated in the articles of association in full and on time, the company shall issue a written reminder to the shareholders to make a capital contribution.

If the company fails to fulfill the obligations stipulated in the preceding paragraph in time and causes losses to the company, the responsible directors shall be liable for compensation.

Article 88 Where a shareholder transfers the equity that has subscribed for capital contribution but has not yet reached the deadline for capital contribution, the transferee shall bear the obligation to pay the capital contribution; If the transferee fails to pay the capital contribution in full and on time, the transferor shall bear supplementary responsibilities for the capital contribution that the transferee fails to pay on time.

If a shareholder fails to pay the capital contribution according to the date stipulated in the Articles of Association or the actual price of the non-monetary property as capital contribution is significantly lower than the subscribed capital contribution, the transferor and transferee shall bear joint liability within the scope of insufficient capital contribution; If the transferee does not know and should not know of the above situation, the transferor shall bear the responsibility.

　　Before the end of next year, the landscape upgrading project from Songliang Road in Tongzhou District in the east to Sanshi Road in Mentougou in the west, and the 55-kilometer Chang ‘an Street and its extension line will all be completed. At that time, signs full of China traditional culture charm, such as Ruyi, Xiangyun and Lotus, will appear on guardrails, lampposts, manhole covers and other facilities, and eight key aspects, such as building facade, street furniture, sign system, municipal facilities, urban lighting, roads and ancillary facilities, green landscape and advertising plaque, will be "finely decorated". Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Municipal Appearance Committee that within this year, the landscape improvement of the area within the Third Ring Road will be completed, and the whole project will be completed within next year.

　　The guardrail is painted with "car paint" for ten years without rust.

　　Yan Jianfeng, Environmental Renovation Department of the Municipal Municipal Appearance Committee, introduced that in order to create a "solemn, calm, heavy and atmospheric" temperament of Chang ‘an Avenue, the overall atlas design scheme extracted symbols of China traditional cultural elements such as Ruyi, Xiangyun and Lotus, and applied them to the LOGO style of Chang ‘an Avenue, which will specifically complete 30 facilities in four categories: street furniture, logo system, municipal facilities and urban lighting. Including traffic guardrails, bus guardrails, green guardrails, identification systems, various boxes, manhole covers, tree ponds, telephone booths, garbage bins, mailboxes, bus shelters and stop signs, etc., will achieve the effect of "everything is landscape and everything is fine" on Chang ‘an Avenue.

　　Last year, the "golden guardrail" replaced by Chang ‘an Avenue has become a beautiful scenery. This year, this guardrail will extend to sidewalks, slow lanes and green spaces in an all-round way. Yan Jianfeng told reporters that strictly speaking, this color should be bronze, and it should be painted with the same fluorocarbon as the car, which is corrosion-resistant and ensures that it will not rust for ten years. In detail, the guardrail uses lotus stigma, wishful decoration and lotus base. Slow lane guardrail, green guardrail, etc. all use the same material, and form a unified set in design style.

　　Add traditional textures such as Xiangyun and Ruyi.

　　In terms of color, all kinds of "street furniture" and municipal facilities on Chang ‘an Avenue are basically bronze and beige, and traditional textures such as Xiangyun and Ruyi are added to the details. "It can be said that every product is exquisite."

　　The Beijing Morning Post reporter saw in the public service facilities map of Chang ‘an Avenue and its extension line that the waste bins were bronze and light gray-blue, exquisite and "low-key"; The mailbox imitates the ancient style of the mailbox in Qing Dynasty, retaining the heavy cultural concept; Fixed seats are installed next to each bus shelter; The beige and bronze telephone booth has also added traditional textures.

　　The bases of all kinds of boxes are all made of bronze stainless steel, and the boxes that occupy the road are basically moved to the lawn. All kinds of manhole covers on the road are square, which is in harmony with the square marble on the trail. The manhole cover is decorated with Ruyi and Lotus. The tree pool grates were all changed from the original cast iron to stainless steel with auspicious clouds.

　　Redecoration of two overpasses in Dongdan

　　Yan Jianfeng introduced that the two overpasses on the south and north sides of Dongdan will be designed in a unified way in combination with the surrounding landscape. The design will be in the form of steel structure, and barrier-free facilities will be added. The deck pavement will use non-slip ground materials, and the style will be coordinated with the overpass on the north side of Xidan.

　　In addition, the footpath bricks between Jianguomen and Fuxingmen are all made of stone, and all the other footpaths are paved with water-permeable bricks. In terms of public art, there will be no more landscape sculptures on Chang ‘an Avenue in the near future. Regarding the advertising plaque, Cui Xuan, director of the outdoor advertising department of the Municipal Appearance Committee, said that an implementation plan is being formulated to investigate the problems, and more than 10 advertisements that have been found to be illegally set will be dismantled and rectified, and all inspections will be completed this year.

　　市市政市容委照明处处长宋军介绍，长安街景观照明改造主要包括两部分，一部分为建筑景观照明，将沿线包括北京饭店、民族饭店在内的52栋建筑纳入照明设施提升改造目录，各产权单位将根据统一规划控制的设计导则，自筹资金进行改造；另一部分为行道树、绿地、墙体景观照明和步道灯部分，同时改造天安门东西侧红墙和新华门对面的中警局灰墙既有景观照明设施，以及部分路段的步道灯。

　　五环内百公里架空线年内入地

　　此外，今年内市市政市容委还将进行架空线入地工作，包括完成五环路以内100公里主次干路通信架空线入地，100条支路街巷胡同通信架空线规范梳理；核心区重点道路11公里电力、路灯、电车架空线入地，主要包括景山周边，三里河地区等；昌平区阅兵村周边主要道路架空线入地；以及市行政副中心、北京新机场、冬奥会延庆赛区比赛场地等重点地区架空线随路入地。

　　闫剑峰表示，架空线入地工作开展的同时，将“严禁增量”，即今后，五环路以内城市道路、规划新城范围内城市道路以及其他重点道路和地区，不得新设架空线。

Except for a few high-altitude service areas, it has basically achieved full coverage.

　　In order to ensure the charging service along the highway, on the one hand, the transportation department guides all localities to speed up the construction of charging infrastructure along the highway, on the other hand, it establishes a dispatching guarantee mechanism for the busy charging service area of the expressway on major holidays to meet the charging demand of new energy vehicles to the greatest extent. For example, in accelerating the application of fast charging and high-power facilities, fast charging facilities of 120 kW and above are widely used in expressway service areas all over the country, and 600-800 kW super charging stations have been built in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other provinces to meet the demand of short-term fast charging as much as possible.

　　"The bus is getting faster and the station is getting new, but my favorite is always the way home." The curtain of Spring Festival travel rush is opened, and a steaming "flowing epic" is reopened. I wish you a pleasant journey!

[Observer Network Comprehensive Report] The Sino-Russian major energy cooperation project, the Sino-Russian Yamal LNG project was officially put into production yesterday (8 th). This project is the largest liquefied natural gas project in the world at present. It is located at 71 degrees north latitude, 600 kilometers deep in the Arctic Circle, near the extremely cold zone of the Arctic Ocean, and the lowest temperature can reach MINUS 50 degrees Celsius.

At 6: 30 pm local time on December 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin personally attended the first LNG shipment celebration of Yamal project. Putin said, "At the beginning of the project, many people made a long list of’ the project can’t be successful’. Yes, the project once had many risks, but you can see that it has been successful now. This is a major moment for the energy industry, Arctic development, and even the northern waterway. "

This project is another super project. Since it was launched in 2014, China elements have been displayed everywhere. In the construction of the project, China enterprises have undertaken 85% of the total module construction, the construction of 7 ships out of more than 30 transport ships (including 44,500 tons of Arc7 ice-breaking condensate carrier and heavy-duty deck carrier, etc.), and the operation of 14 ships out of 15 LNG carriers, etc. A total of 45 China manufacturers have provided more than 100 products for the project.

In addition, the Russian side suffered from western sanctions led by the United States because of the Crimea issue, which also caused the project with a total investment of 27 billion US dollars to be trapped in financial problems. A number of banks in China provided loans worth $12 billion in euros and RMB to replace the original western financing. Silk Road Fund also invested $1.4 billion to acquire 9.9% of the shares of the project, which finally solved the problem satisfactorily.

With Putin pressing the loading button, the LNG produced by the first production line of the project began to be injected into the 80,000-ton LNG icebreaker docked at Sabbetta Port. The natural gas and condensate products produced by this project will be transported to China via the Bering Strait via the "Northern Channel", which takes only about 15 days, saving nearly 20 days compared with the traditional route through the Suez Canal via the Mediterranean.

Nur Bai Keli, director of China Energy Bureau, Fan Xianrong, ambassador to Russia, Wang Dongjin, deputy general manager of the group company and member of the party group, Wang Yanzhi, general manager of Silk Road Fund, and Zheng Zhijie, president of China Development Bank also attended the ceremony.

Observer Network reported in November 2015 that China and Russia were reaching the main terms of the agreement on the Yamal LNG Project in the Arctic. Today, the project has overcome many difficulties and is finally close to fruition.

In November 2015, Observer reported that Zhang Gaoli and Devall Covic signed the Minutes of the Twelfth Meeting of the China-Russia Energy Cooperation Committee.

Russia has resources and China has a market.

Yamal Peninsula has the largest natural gas reserves in Russia and the world, which is even higher than that in other parts of Obi Bay. It is estimated that the gas reservoir is as high as 55 trillion cubic meters (tcm), which is described by Gazprom as "Russia’s strategic oil and gas reserve area".

Beijing Broadcasting Network reported on December 9 that at around 8: 40 pm Beijing time on the 8th, the Sino-Russian Yamal LNG project, a major energy cooperation project between China and Russia, was officially put into production. The project is jointly implemented by China Petroleum and Natural Gas Group, China Silk Road Fund, Novatec and Total. The project is located near Sabetta Town, Yamal Peninsula, near Obi Bay, and the natural gas exploration and development license is valid until 2045.

Site prospect of Yamal project

Yamal project integrates natural gas and condensate oil exploitation, natural gas treatment, liquefied natural gas (LNG) manufacturing and sales, and shipping, and is jointly developed by Novatec, China Oil and Gas Group, Total and China Silk Road Fund. The recoverable reserves of natural gas reach 1.3 trillion cubic meters and the recoverable reserves of condensate oil reach 60 million tons; Three LNG production lines with an annual output of 5.5 million tons will be built in the project, which can produce 16.5 million tons (25 billion cubic meters) of LNG and 1 million tons of condensate oil every year after completion. According to the contract, 54% of the project’s output will be sold to the Asian market and the rest to Europe.

Jiang Qi, general manager of CNPC International Russia Company, said that China has a market and Russia has sufficient resources, and the cooperation between them is a win-win move. China’s market needs to import resources, and Russia’s resources need to find markets, so Sino-Russian oil and gas cooperation is a natural complement.

Jiang Qi said that after the completion of this project, China can get 4 million tons of liquefied gas from this project every year, which will provide a foundation for clean energy supply in our country.

Russian Energy Minister Novak said that strategic cooperation between China and Russia in the energy field is taking shape.

Novak said that 80% of the project has been completed and 95% of the first phase of the project has been completed. In the next two months, the operation of the first phase of the project will start, and the first liquefied natural gas will be produced. I believe that the implementation of this project has further promoted the cooperation between our countries and our companies.

As the first industrial chain cooperation project between China and Russia in the Arctic Circle, Yamal project will not only promote the development of Russian energy industry and border areas, but also enrich China’s clean energy supply and accelerate the optimization of China’s energy structure.

China made the Arctic outbursts and broke all kinds of monopolies.

"Yamal" means "the end of the earth" in the local Nenets language. It is the construction of the largest LNG project with the highest latitude in the world that has broken the loneliness of "the end of the land".

China Petroleum News Center previously reported that in 2016, the construction of Yamal LNG project was in full swing. Because the project is located in the North Pole and the construction environment is harsh, in order to reduce the construction cost, the main projects adopt the modular construction method, that is, the large equipment needed for the project is processed in other places and formed into standard units, and then transported to the project site for assembly. At present, nearly 400 modules required by the project are mostly built by enterprises in China.

At the same time, Chinese units also participated in geological research, drilling rig manufacturing, module construction, engineering supervision, marine logistics, material supply, shipbuilding, LNG procurement and other links involving the LNG value chain. China’s full participation has provided irreplaceable strong support for the smooth start, rapid progress and response to sanctions.

In March 2016, the first domestic "Aurora" polar drilling rig was installed in Sabbetta Oilfield of Yamal Project.

CCTV News reported on the 9th that Liu Guizhou, deputy chief economist of PetroChina Russian Company, said that we have to drill a total of 208 wells in this gas field, and now the 99th well is being drilled. You can see that the Christmas tree has just finished drilling a well, and the derrick you see is an Arctic drilling rig produced by Honghua Company in China.

Arctic drilling rig should have the function of cold resistance and heat preservation, and can work continuously in the environment of low temperature of MINUS 50 degrees and strong wind above 12 levels. The first domestic polar drilling rig "Aurora" broke the technological monopoly of Russia, the United States and Canada, and successfully entered the Russian Arctic market.

Wang Yonghua, chief geologist of CNPC International Yamal Company, said that Honghua drilling rig has completed 11 drilling operations on our platform without any safety accidents, and its toughness is very stable, which has been recognized by drilling contractors and service providers.

In July 2016, three core modules built by Wuchuan Group with a total weight of 7,000 tons were shipped from Qingdao base to Yamal Peninsula.

Yevgeny Kutt, general manager of Yamal LNG project, said that not only the modules are made in China, but also the steel, materials and pipes are made in China, and some pumps are also made in China, including the financial support of our partners. The support from the upstream to the downstream of this project is enormous, and our project actually represents a model of cooperation between China and Russian enterprises.

By training Yamal, China enterprises have realized the leap-forward development from single product to project contracting, from low-end manufacturing to high-end "intelligent" manufacturing, and China manufacturing has become a new business card in the Arctic.

The achievement is brilliant and the process is tortuous.

China Energy Network reported in August this year that after 27 months of fierce competition, CNOOC Engineering had continuously optimized its construction scheme and technology and actively reduced its own cost, and finally won the bid for 36 core process modules, breaking the Asian market pattern in which Korean enterprises monopolized the construction of LNG core modules for a long time.

Challenges follow. For example, the total length of the pipeline laid is 215,000 meters, which is equivalent to the length of the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing. The cable is 3300 kilometers long and can be connected from Beijing to the Arctic Circle. The completed document has more than 7 million pages. There are many kinds and quantities of internal components, which require high precision and complex construction technology, far exceeding similar projects in the industry, and a large number of ultra-high and overweight pressure vessel equipment are also configured in the module.

Not only that, the owner’s drawings and a large number of materials are still seriously lagging behind. Under this severe test, CNOOC Engineering not only became the first contractor in the world to deliver LNG module products on time and with good quality, but also created a new safety record of 38.63 million man-hours without accidents in the world. This is rare in the history of international construction.

Two natural gas compression modules with a length of about 50 meters, a width of 36 meters and a height of 39 meters and a weight of more than 10,000 tons were shipped.

In the above picture, it is the world’s first polar heavy-duty deck carrier "AUDAX" built by Guangzhou Shipyard International that "carries" two big guys over 10 stories high.The total length of the ship is 206.3 meters, which is more than two football fields. The vertical length is 193.8 meters, the profile width is 43 meters, the profile depth is 13.5 meters, the design draft is 7.5 meters, the structural draft is 8 meters, and the design deadweight is 24,500 tons. The ship can work normally in the ultra-low temperature environment of MINUS 50 degrees Celsius, and maintain two knots of speed under the sea condition of 1.5 meters ice thickness.This level has reached the highest ice zone grade Arc7 in Russian specifications.It is higher than the speed of the Chinese star scientific research ship "Snow Dragon" at 1.5 knots to continuously break through the 1.2-meter-thick ice layer.

Welding technology in extremely cold climate is also a big challenge.. Ultra-low temperature carbon steel materials with impact temperature of -50℃ are widely used in the main structure and pipeline of Yamal project. Because the impact toughness value of the materials drops sharply with the decrease of temperature, it is extremely difficult to develop the welding process. Through technical research, CNOOC Engineering has successfully broken through the industrial welding problem of steel serving in -50℃ environment, and the welding construction capacity in "extremely cold environment" has been greatly upgraded.

Besides,Major breakthroughs have been made in the welding of large-diameter stainless steel at ultra-low temperature of -196℃, the welding of 625/825 nickel-based alloy composite pipe, and the welding of dissimilar steel.The efficient welding processes such as automatic flux-cored gas shielded welding and automatic argon arc welding developed by it have tripled the welding efficiency and greatly reduced the labor intensity of welders.

And painting process is also the difficulty of the whole project.. The Yamal project has a total painting area of 1.57 million square meters, which is equivalent to 200 football fields, and the painting workload has reached a new high for the projects undertaken by CNOOC. Low temperature splash prevention coating (CSP) is a unique coating system for LNG core process module. Its main function is to prevent LNG at -196℃ from splashing on steel structures, causing brittle fracture of steel structures and causing loss of personnel and property. The construction technology of this coating is complex and extremely difficult.

At present, only a few countries in the world, such as South Korea, have mastered the construction technology of this coating. The coating technology team of CNOOC Engineering has repeatedly scrutinized, experimented, failed and re-experimented every construction process of CSP, and in just half a year, it has successively overcome many key technologies such as ultra-low temperature construction of CSP coating and mechanized spraying of CSP. Some practical technical innovations, such as map combination reservation and magnetic fixing device, have also greatly improved the construction efficiency.

Referring to the independent research and development of foam glass, Chen Baojie, general manager of Yamal Project, is quite proud.. Yamal is located in the extremely cold zone, so all key equipment and pipelines should be put on special thermal insulation clothes-foam glass. This special material cutting technology has been monopolized by a Singapore company for a long time. The CNOOC engineering team wanted to visit and observe, but they were shut out. "This kind of equipment is our only one in the world, and we can’t show it to you. But we can provide paid services. " However, cutting in Singapore is expensive, and foam glass is fragile, and the transportation process is extremely costly.

What should we do? Chen Baojie said, if you don’t give it to us, we will develop it ourselves! CNOOC Engineering is determined to independently research and develop cutting technology and quickly set up a research group on foam glass cutting machine. Seven members worked hard day and night. Five months later, the world’s first semi-automatic foam glass cutting equipment was born! Compared with manual cutting, the efficiency has been improved by three times. Not to mention, the research group has also developed a set of foam glass typesetting technology, which reduces the material cutting loss from 50% to 28%. This alone will save more than 40 million yuan.

China’s financing breaks western sanctions

The Financial Times reported on December 9th that the project was financed by banks in China, with French Total taking a share, and operated by Novatek, Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer, which is a milestone for Russian Arctic natural gas development. The newspaper also commented that this project will break Western sanctions and deepen Sino-Russian energy cooperation, which will further stimulate China’s ambition to become one of the "major players" of natural gas.

According to the report, in 2014, Russia suffered western sanctions for recovering Crimea, the ruble once plummeted, and Novatec was also sanctioned by the United States, which led to financial difficulties for the Yamal project. At that time, Russia tried every means to circumvent the sanctions. First, it converted US dollar financing into euro financing, and then in May 2016, it obtained loans worth 12 billion US dollars from The Export-Import Bank of China and China National Development Bank in euros and RMB to replace western financing. China Silk Road Fund also acquired a 9.9% stake in Yamal Project in March 2016 for about $1.4 billion.

In the whole project operation, the final shareholding structure is: PetroChina shares 20%, Silk Road Fund shares 9.9%, France Total shares 20%, and Russia Novatec Company holds 50.1%.

In September 2014, when the West imposed sanctions on Russia, Zhang Gaoli attended the ceremony of the Siberian gas pipeline project.

The Financial Times said that because western sanctions actually affected the cooperation between Rosneft and ExxonMobil, it was also a subversive victory for French Total. Patrick Pouyanne, CEO of Total, said, "In order to develop natural gas resources in Yamal Peninsula, under extreme conditions, we have built a world-class LNG project from scratch."

Moody’s, a financial rating agency, also described the project as "a symbol of the birth of a world-class LNG giant".

In 2016, the Yamal project successfully closed the project financing, and successfully completed financing through Chinese-funded, Russian-funded and international banks, with a total loan of US$ 17 billion, creating another successful case of international financing.

Driven by the Yamal project, the Sabetta area where the project is located has also developed. The local airport was put into operation in February 2015, and a number of domestic and international routes were opened. As of November 26, 2017, a total of 7523 flights were flown, carrying 701,914 passengers and 9,200 tons of cargo. Sabbetta Ocean Port has built six material unloading berths, which have carried more than 500,000 tons of materials.

According to reports, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih also attended the ceremony on the 8th, and an unnamed Saudi company may negotiate with Novatec to build another LNG project near the Yamal project.

Arctic waterway, 20 days less than bypassing Suez Canal.

The construction of Yamal project not only added natural gas to the northern sea in China, but also successfully realized the transportation of the Arctic Ocean through the Arctic waterway, which provided an important fulcrum for the implementation of China’s "Silk Road on Ice" strategy.

Since 2015, more than 60% of all modules of Yamal LNG project have been transported through the northeast Arctic waterway, that is, through the Bering Strait, which has shortened the voyage by at least one-third compared with the traditional waterway through the Suez Canal, shortened the sailing time by nearly half, and greatly reduced the logistics cost.

The "Silk Road on Ice" is a shipping channel that crosses the Arctic Circle and connects the three economic centers of North America, East Asia and Western Europe. During the construction of Yamal project, more than 60% of the modules and parts were transported through the Bering Strait and the northeast Arctic waterway, which took about 16 days on average, saving nearly 20 days compared with the Suez Canal.

Yamal project and schematic diagram of Arctic waterway

In our country, 90% of foreign trade cargo transportation depends on shipping. At present, although there are many ocean routes in China, the routes to Europe are limited, and they are facing various problems such as cost and safety.

Jiang Qi, general manager of China Petroleum Russian Company, said that the Arctic Northeast Passage is the most direct and convenient transportation channel connecting Asia and Europe. If we can make full use of this Arctic waterway, the future economic and trade cooperation between China and Europe will also reduce a lot of logistics costs and improve the economic cooperation between China and Europe.

The data show that once the Arctic northeast waterway is officially opened, the voyage from China’s coastal ports to the east coast of North America is 2000 to 3500 nautical miles shorter than the traditional route of Panama Canal. The distance from the port north of Shanghai to the ports in western Europe, Beihai and Baltic Sea will be 25%-55% shorter than that of traditional routes, and the international trade shipping cost will be saved by 53.3 billion to 127.4 billion US dollars every year.

According to a CCTV reporter’s on-the-spot visit, the Yamal LNG project is located in the high latitude area of the Arctic Circle, and there is an extreme night phenomenon in the local area after entering the winter. The whole project covers an area of 189 hectares, which is as big as 249 football fields. In addition, there are supporting airports and transportation ports, and ships are specially built to adapt to polar transportation conditions.

According to reports, it usually takes 52 months or even 54 months for a large-scale LNG project from the final investment decision to the first production line. However, the Yamal project took 48 months from January 2014 to the first production line, which has become a miracle in the construction of LNG projects.

The staff at the scene told the reporter that the technical modules produced in China were transported here by sea, and the heaviest module exceeded 7,000 tons. Many modules are completed before the schedule, which shortens the whole construction period. Due to the use of high-tech environmental protection technology in the construction, the reporter also photographed the Arctic fox in the project camp, and the Arctic fox obviously still regards it as his home.

Putin came to the Yamal project command center and looked relaxed.
