The Ministry of Education reminds you to consciously boycott illegal off-campus training during the Double Festival
The Ministry of Education and the China Consumers Association jointly issued the following care tips to parents of students: Arrange your holiday life reasonably. Consciously resist illegal off-campus training. Off-campus training institutions are not allowed to use national statutory holidays, rest days, winter and summer vacations to organize subject-based training in violation of regulations. Training in illegal subjects avoids supervision. Not only is it difficult to guarantee the quality of training, but it also poses a huge safety hazard. It can also easily lead to problems such as "difficulty in refunding fees" and "running away with money". Parents are requested to consciously resist training in illegal subjects and effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests. Prevent training payment risks. If you really need to participate in non-disciplinary training such as sports, culture and art, science and technology, parents are asked to clearly understand the institution's school-running qualifications and rationally choose an institution with "complete certificates and licenses" and standardized school-running. Payment of training fees must comply with the limit and time period requirements. The one-time payment should not exceed 3 months or 60 class hours, and should not exceed 5,000 yuan. The training payment must be completed through the "Off-campus Training Parent Terminal" APP. Actively participate in supervision and reporting.
Air tickets on many routes suddenly dropped in price during the National Day. I spent an extra 2,400 yuan if I bought the air tickets in advance.
In addition to the difficulty of obtaining high-speed rail tickets, the high price of air tickets is also a major problem for people traveling during this holiday. Faced with the high price of air tickets, some passengers choose to grit their teeth and "face the difficulties", or choose to buy tickets in advance for fear of rising air ticket prices. However, some people wondered, "Why are the tickets purchased in advance more expensive?"
"I bought the tickets in advance but spent an extra 2,400 yuan. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night." Zhou Quan planned to travel from Kunming, Yunnan to Taiyuan, Shanxi on the evening of September 29. He bought the tickets on September 8. The total round-trip price for two people was 4,826 yuan. , however, on September 23, she discovered that the price of the same flight had been reduced to a total round-trip price of 2,428 yuan for two people. Even if the ticket was refunded and rebooked, a large handling fee would be deducted, which was not cost-effective.
Fan Yi, who planned to travel from Chengdu to Urumqi, Xinjiang on September 28, also encountered the same situation. When he bought the ticket in early September, the round-trip ticket cost 4,054 yuan for a single person. However, when he checked again on September 27, the round-trip ticket for the same flight had been reduced to 1,850 yuan. . "The two of us have already lost more than 4,000 before our trip started." Fan Yi felt helpless. "When I went to Sanya on May Day, I booked a temporary ticket on April 30. The air ticket was very expensive at that time, so I booked the full price ticket. I wanted to buy the tickets early during my second vacation, but I didn’t expect them to be more expensive. ”
London office vacancy rate hits 30-year high, London office rental recession warning sounds
A report recently released by Jefferies, an American investment bank, stated that as the overall vacancy rate in the West End, City of London and Canary Wharf commercial centers in the UK reached the highest level in 30 years, the London office market is in the midst of a "rent recession" middle.
A vacancy rate of around 8% has historically been regarded as the critical point of "rent recession", with a vacancy rate above the critical point indicating that rents are on a downward trend. According to Jefferies' calculations, the current vacancy rate in London's West End is 7%, while the vacancy rates in the City of London and Canary Wharf are above 10% and 20% respectively.
Malik, head of real estate at UBS's investment research department, told China Business News that since the beginning of 2022, rising borrowing costs have become a lingering shadow on the global real estate industry. An unexpectedly sharp rise in real interest rates has put the sector in trouble, especially for business models that have thrived on low borrowing costs. As refinancing costs rise, the balance sheets of real estate companies come into focus. At the same time, the impact of the epidemic remains.
Shenzhen will adjust and optimize the lower limit of personal housing loan interest rates starting from September 29
On September 28, reporters learned from the Shenzhen Municipal Housing Construction Bureau, the Shenzhen Branch of the People's Bank of China, and the Shenzhen Supervision Bureau of the State Administration of Financial Supervision that Shenzhen would adjust and optimize the lower limit of personal housing loan interest rates from September 29, and the commercial personal housing loan interest rates for first homes. The lower limit is adjusted to be no less than the market quoted interest rate of loans of the corresponding period minus 10 basis points, and the lower limit of the interest rate for commercial personal housing loans for second homes is adjusted to no less than the market quoted interest rate of loans of the corresponding period plus 30 basis points. This adjustment will help reduce the cost of house purchase for households and better meet the demand for rigid and improved housing.
The fever for new houses subsides on the eve of the full moon in Beijing when people recognize houses but don’t subscribe for loans.
As the "recognize a house but not a loan" policy is about to come to full moon and the "Golden Nine" comes to an end, the backlog of demand stimulated by the New Deal has begun to cool down. @Beijing Business Daily reporter’s recent investigation found that at the data level, in the past four weeks after the new policy of “recognizing houses but not loans”, a total of 5,117 new houses were sold in Beijing, with the highest number of transactions in a single week being 2,473. The average weekly transaction after the new policy was the same as the previous four weeks. In comparison, it increased by 39.2% year-on-year. However, as the backlog of demand in the early stage was released intensively, some projects sold hundreds of units a week, and the number of project visits dropped by 50%. The once-popular open sales offices have almost disappeared, and the enthusiasm brought by the New Deal is fading. .
