In 2015, China’s development faced enormous difficulties and severe challenges. Under the government regulatory measures to sustain economic growth, adjust economic structure and prevent risks, China’s economy maintained moderate but sound and stable development. According to the report of the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s GDP in 2015 amounted to RMB67,670.8 billion, representing a year-on-year growth of 6.9%. The disposable income per capita in China was RMB21,966, representing a year-on-year nominal growth of 8.9%. These achievements were made amidst an exceptionally complex and severe global environment. In 2015, the production volume and sales volume of automobiles in China achieved a breakthrough of more than 24.50 million units, hitting the world’s new high and ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years. Sales volume of passenger vehicles reached 21.1463 million units in 2015, exceeded 20 million units for the first time and representing a year-on-year growth of 7.30%. The luxury automobile market continued to grow rapidly. In particular, the sales volume of Mercedes-Benz in China amounted to 373,500 units in 2015, having exceeded the estimated volume of 300,000 units at the beginning of the year. This achievement made China outstrip the U.S. and become the single largest market of Mercedes-Benz in the world. However, in contrast to the growth in sales volume, selling price and gross profit margin of new automobiles remained low. The intense competition in market price lowered gross profit margin of new automobiles as compared to last year. As at 31 December 2015, the Group recorded a revenue of RMB59,142.6 million, representing an increase of 8.0% as compared to a revenue of RMB54,786.7 million in 2014. In particular, revenue from new car sales business increased from RMB47,961.6 million in 2014 to RMB51,842.7 million, representing an increase of 8.1%. Revenue from after-sales and accessories business increased from RMB6,825.1 million in 2014 to RMB7,299.9 million, representing an increase of 7.0%. Our profit attributable to owners of the parent for 2015 was RMB460.1 million, representing a decrease of 38.6% as compared to the same period of 2014. Earnings per share was RMB0.21 (same period in 2014: RMB0.35). The year of 2015 is the last year of the “12th Five Year Plan”, during which the automobile industry was still undergoing a process of in-depth adjustment with intensified elimination and integration in the dealership industry. Though facing the impact ANNUAL REPORT 2015 3 Chairman’s Statement (continued) of macro-economic environment and challenges brought by the complex business environment, Zhongsheng Group, leveraging on its corporate management, strived to strengthen its footholds, paid close attention to the trend of policies and consumption demand, solidified and enlarged its market share in various cities, and capitalized on the competitive edge of its brand to continuously expand its business scale. As at 31 December 2015, the Group had 213 automobile dealership stores, covering 20 provincial level regions and over 70 cities in China. Despite undergoing a difficult phase of adjustments, Zhongsheng Group still received wide recognition from domestic and international authorities. In May 2015, Zhongsheng Group ranked fourth among the 2014 Top 100 Automobile Dealer Groups in China issued by the China Automobile Dealers Association for the second consecutive year with annual revenue of RMB54.79 billion. In July 2015, Zhongsheng Group was selected once again as one of the Fortune China 500, an internationally recognized ranking and ranked 114th. In November 2015, it was granted the “2015 Most Influential Brand in China’s Automobile Dealer Industry” by the China Automobile Dealers Association. 2016 is the first year of the “13th Five-Year Plan” and also a year for pushing through the structural reform of China’s economy. The automobile and dealership industry in China will face more difficulties and greater challenges. However, Zhongsheng Group is fearless of difficulties and challenges as its has been heading forward amidst difficulties. We are pleased to see numerous positive signs which are beneficial to the future development of automobile and dealership industry from the government work report of the fourth meeting of the 12th National People’s Congress, including further improvement in the living standard of citizens, continuous increase in disposable income, comprehensive upgrade of infrastructure facilities, highway traffic mileage exceeding 120,000 miles and further promotion in the new urbanization. Looking forward, there exist both opportunities and challenges as China’s automobile industry has reached a critical phase of transformation and upgrading. While steadily optimizing our network coverage and enhancing our management standards, we will strive for excellence, continually increase our service capabilities and standards as well as enlarge the effect of scale economies. As an automobile dealership group which provides one- stop services including sales of new and second-hand automobiles, refitting, after-sales maintenance, accessories, finance, insurance and leasing services, we will stand by our corporate motto of “Zhongsheng Group – Lifetime Partner” as always, consistently uphold our operational policy of “Integrity and Innovation”, strengthen our own management and enhance our core competitiveness. In light of the core mission under the “13th Five-Year Plan” to fully construct a moderately prosperous society, the Group will make its best endeavors to take a step forward to achieve comprehensive development. Thanks to the dedication of our staff from all departments, the cooperation with all business partners and the trust of all shareholders, the Group is able to gain stable achievements in face of the complicated and difficult market condition. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for your valuable contributions to our development.

Abstract: A person’s living behavior patterns are closely related to three types of settlements: real-life settlements, imagined settlements, and pseudo-settlements. The term “pseudo-settlement” (PS) refers to the places that are selectively recorded and represented after the mass media chose and restructure the residence information. As the mass media rapidly develops and people’s way of obtaining information gradually change, PS has already become one of the main ways for people to recognize and understand real-life settlements, as well as describe their impressions of imagined settlements. PS also has a profound impact on tourism, employment, investment, migration, real estate development, etc. Thus, the study of PSs has important theoretical and practical significance. This paper proposes to put forward residential quarters where the mass media is displayed as the object of study and establishes the pseudo-settlement index system of Dalian in and elaborate analysis of the concept of PSs.

  • Proteomics Reveals the Preliminary Physiological States of the Spotted
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Proteomics reveals the preliminary physiological states of the spotted seal (Phoca largha) pups Jiashen Tian1, Jing Du1, Jiabo Han1, Xiangbo Bao1, Xinran Song2 & Zhichuang Lu1* Spotted seal (Phoca largha) is a critically endangered pinniped in China and South Korea. The conventional method to protect and maintain the P. largha population is to keep them captive in artifcially controlled environments. However, little is known about the physiological diferences between wild and captive P. largha. To generate a preliminary protein expression profle for P. largha, whole blood from wild and captive pups were subjected to a label-free comparative proteomic analysis. According to the results, 972 proteins were identifed and predicted to perform functions related to various metabolic, immune, and cellular processes. Among the identifed proteins, the expression level of 51 were signifcantly diferent between wild and captive P. large pups. These diferentially expressed proteins were enriched in a wide range of cellular functions, including cytoskeleton, phagocytosis, proteolysis, the regulation of gene expression, and carbohydrate metabolism. The abundances of proteins involved in phagocytosis and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis were signifcantly higher in the whole blood of wild P. largha pups than in captive individuals. In addition, heat shock protein 90-beta, were determined as the key protein associated with the diferences in the wild and captive P. largha pups due to the most interactions of it with various diferentially expressed proteins. Moreover, wild P. largha pups could be more nutritionally stressed and have more powerful immune capacities than captive pups. This study provides the frst data on the protein composition of P.

Due to Nutrients the rapid economic development over the last four decades, most of the Chinese coastal waters have experienced Stoichiometry a eutrophic process. Major observed trends of coastal eutrophication include two periods, a slow development River input from the 1970s to 1990s and a fast development after 2000, with major contributions of increased nitrogen (N) Atmospheric deposition and phosphorus (P) from river inputs, atmospheric deposition, and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD).
