The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, with a history of more than two thousand years. It is an important cultural symbol of the Chinese nation. It is usually celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. On this day, people commemorate historical figures and pray for health and peace through various customs. This festival is to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, an honest and trustworthy poet and statesman who was said to have drowned himself in a river. Among them, the most famous customs include eating zongzi and dragon boat racing. Zongzi is made by wrapping various fillings in glutinous rice and then steaming them in bamboo leaves, symbolizing reunion and happiness. Dragon boat racing originated from the ancient dragon worship ceremony and has now become a passionate sports activity. In addition, people also hang mugwort and calamus to ward off evil spirits and prevent diseases. These customs not only reflect the commemoration of historical figures, but also the emphasis on nature and health. With the development of The Times, the celebration forms of the Dragon Boat Festival have been constantly innovated, but they still retain respect and inheritance for historical culture. Please note that we will have the Dragon Boat Festival holiday from May 31st, 2025 to June 2nd, 2025. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you! Warm greetings TZ Technology

  Recently, the news of Siemens PLC price increase has been widely reported. In fact, it has been confirmed that the price has indeed increased, and the increase of some models is as high as 10%. Some media attributed the reason for this price increase to Siemens deliberately creating scarcity in order to improve performance, which caused dealers to accumulate inventory and maintain a wait-and-see attitude. But in fact, this may not be the main reason. Let's analyze it together.   Siemens' orders in the first three quarters fell year-on-year! Siemens' financial report for the first three quarters of 2024 shows that year-on-year revenue is rising steadily, but year-on-year orders are on a downward trend. Q1 orders reached 22.3 billion euros, down 2% year-on-year; revenue increased 6% year-on-year to 18.4 billion euros. Q2 orders reached 20.5 billion euros, down 13% year-on-year; revenue was 19.2 billion euros, almost flat year-on-year. Q3 orders reached 19.8 billion euros, down 16% year-on-year; revenue increased 5% year-on-year to 18.9 billion euros. Therefore, some media believe that Siemens may have adopted a strategy of not releasing goods and creating market scarcity in order to achieve better performance data in Q4, and it seems to make sense to push up product prices. However, the price of a product actually depends on the two most important factors, market demand and cost.   Siemens WA products have increased in price! The sudden increase in Siemens PLC prices caught everyone off guard. The different prices in one day are hard to accept, and many agents and users are not very receptive to this price increase, thinking it is artificial and will not last for a few days. But is it really so? On August 20, Siemens WA product price adjustment notice showed that based on market changes, the price of the home appliance Haocai series increased by 5%-8%, and the price of the Ruichen PC series increased by 20%.   European industrial companies expect raw material prices to rise! In addition, the dynamic changes in market demand and expectations for the future market also have an impact on prices that cannot be ignored. There are signs that market demand is not clear in the last few months of this year, and there is a high probability that it will continue to decline. However, there is another important factor affecting the price of industrial products-cost. According to a survey of nearly 200 executives in relevant regions by consulting firm Inverto, many European industrial companies expect raw material prices to rise, especially plastics and industrial metals such as aluminum and copper. The price of industrial metals will see the largest increase. The current price of industrial metals is far below the peak in early 2022. In addition to rising raw material prices, the adjustment of procurement strategies of many European companies and factors such as high inventory have also greatly increased corporate costs.   Of course, changes in product prices are indeed full of uncertainty. Many factors such as market supply and demand, raw material costs, policies and regulations, and competitive situations are intertwined and jointly affect the trend of product prices. In this case, accurately predicting whether a product will increase in price is indeed a very challenging task, and we will continue to pay attention to the price trend of Siemens PLC.   For your automation hardware solutions! Many Available just wait for you, feel free to ask to get better deal!!!Bou LSales [email protected]+86-175 5077 6091

Dear All, In accordance with the national statutory holidays and considering our company's actual situation, we hereby notify the schedule for the 2024 Dragon Boat Festival holiday: The holiday will be from June 8, 2024 (Saturday) to June 9, 2024 (Sunday), for a total of 2 days. We will resume work on June 10, 2024 (Monday). Please make arrangements in advance to ensure the smooth operation of work during the holiday period. Origin and Traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is one of the four major traditional festivals in China, with a history of over two thousand years. The festival originated during the Warring States period to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal minister of the Chu State who, due to political reasons, was exiled. Devastated by the fall of the Chu capital to the Qin army, he committed suicide by drowning in the Miluo River. The people of Chu, in remembrance of him, raced their boats to retrieve his body and threw rice dumplings into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from eating it. This custom gradually evolved into today's Dragon Boat Festival. Traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival Eating Zongzi: Zongzi are traditional rice dumplings made from glutinous rice stuffed with various fillings, wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, and tied with string before being steamed or boiled. Zongzi are not only delicious but also symbolize protection from evil spirits and blessings. Dragon Boat Racing: Another major activity during the Dragon Boat Festival is dragon boat racing. This is not only a competitive sport but also represents teamwork and the spirit of unity. Hanging Mugwort and Calamus: On this day, people hang mugwort and calamus on their doors to ward off evil spirits and diseases, wishing for health and safety. Significance of the Dragon Boat Festival The Dragon Boat Festival is not only a time to commemorate Qu Yuan but also a significant embodiment of China's excellent traditional culture. By celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, people remember the patriotism of ancient sages and promote the spirit of unity and traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. We wish all employees a happy Dragon Boat Festival and good health! Best regards, Human Resources DepartmentJune 6, 2024
