An old photo: In 1949, Guo Wende, a retired employee of the Dezhou Fuel Company, invented honeycomb coal: anthracite mixed with yellow mud, wood chips or charcoal powder, and "printed" into a cylindrical briquette with holes like honeycomb. The standard is 12 holes, but there are also 9 holes, and the fewer and larger the holes, the more fierce the fire.
The advent of honeycomb coal is a domestic energy revolution. Solid briquettes were burned before, which were not flammable, and when the coal stove was poked, the house was full of dust. After the invention of honeycomb coal, soot and soot were reduced, and coal was saved.
In 1950, the "Industrial Family Society" outside the south gate of Dezhou City began to operate, and since then, the development of honeycomb coal enterprises has spread all over the country, bringing warmth to many families.
Eagle Eye Observation: Social needs promote the production of inventions, and inventions and creations lead social development.

This is also the largest adjustment of the price of the high-speed rail in mainland China after the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway price increase of 10.7% in 2021.
Eagle Eye Observation: It is better to say that it is an enterprise, but it is better to say that it is a "country", because they are all central enterprises and state-owned enterprises.
The characteristic of monopoly is that the price increase is very capricious.
Do you think that now that the economy is declining and people's income is decreasing, should the price be reduced?—— naïve, don't forget, people are also short of money, what if the price is not raised?
Next, if nothing else, the price of subways and buses will also rise, and the price of medical care will definitely keep up, and there will be a wave of big increases.
Some so-called central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, although they occupy various advantages, but financial subsidies have been indispensable, and now the finance has also been affected by the economy.

The company intends to be fined 42.5 million yuan. Wei Xuezhu, then chairman of the company, and Xu Qinzhi, director, deputy general manager, then chief financial officer and secretary of the board of directors, planned to be banned from the securities market.
Eagle Eye Observation: What is the use of punishing a company? It is not a private enterprise! What is the significance of the "ban" of high-ranking officials? The wages, bonuses, subsidies, and other benefits obtained because of fraud are ignored?
In this way, who is in charge of state-owned enterprises is unwilling to commit fraud?—— personal gains are obviously greater than losses!

She saw that her father was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, and his face and arms were red, so she ran to her father's side, took out the sunscreen spray she carried with her, and "forcibly scribbled" on her father's hands and face.
Eagle Eye Observation: It is said that my daughter is a "little padded jacket", and it seems that it is also a "sunscreen"!
