自存倉 廣東及周邊各地常遭遇霧霾天氣，「避霾」成為人們旅遊的熱點，那些可以呆一兩天、呼吸清新空氣的清新旅遊地成為大家的新寵，更領略嶺南的冬日色彩：十里香雪海、南嶺上「飄」著一朵朵「藍雲」、紅葉給大地鋪上了紅色的地毯…… 藍色 「藍雲」飄南嶺 南嶺國家森林公園擁有潔淨的空氣和水源，富含負離子，特別是瀑布群景區的負離子含量為10萬個/立方厘米。這�擁有廣東省最完整、最大片的原始森林，空氣之好，讓遊人來到這�仿佛被「洗肺」。 俯瞰南嶺的小黃山景區，世界上最大片的「廣東松」原始森林映入眼簾。生長在南嶺懸崖峭壁地區的物種———廣東松，又名「藍松」，冬季遇冷變藍。當冬季的寒風帶來一片蕭條時，在平均海拔1400米的山峰群�，一朵朵「藍雲」懸浮在崇山峻嶺中。 看了「藍松」，還可以到瀑布群景區。這�的水發源於廣東第二峰發財嶺(海拔1888米)，在落差近500米的深壑幽谷中跌宕而下，形成近百條大小瀑布，負離子含量冠絕廣東。 自駕：京珠高速經大橋，南嶺國家森林公園出口下高速，直行見路牌往五指山方向右拐進入S249，由南嶺國家森林公園牌坊轉入X327直到公園。 白色 山湖「香雪」惹人醉 流溪河國家森林公園林深葉茂，地貌奇特，數百座山峰起伏連綿，在茂密樹林中，常年有霧無霾，讓遊客自由暢快呼吸。公園四季常青，特別是冬日的梅林飄香，盛開的梅花讓這�有「流溪香雪」之美稱。 冬日的「流溪香雪」成為當地的一道風景線。湖四周的3000多畝梅林、10萬多棵梅樹枝頭綻放一簇簇的白花，與碧綠的流溪湖水和青山輝映，漫步梅林，清香環繞。 在公園的東南部，聳立著五指山、牛角山、雞枕山等海拔千米以上的山峰6座。登高望遠，一派「遠山時明滅、高峽出平湖」的壯觀景象盡入眼底。而漫步在碧波萬頃的湖邊，湖面分布著大小22個島嶼，如白玉翡翠，讓眼睛也清亮了。 自駕：瀋海高速(G15)-京港澳高速(G4)-大廣高速(G45)-105國道-流溪河國家森林公園。 紅色 欣賞漫山紅葉 從化石門國家森林公園的森林覆蓋率達98.9%，山高林密、古樹參天，空氣質量也是十分優質。還有很多名貴、珍稀樹種，如桫欏、穗花杉、野山茶等，可見自然生態環境是相當好的，是避霾的好去處。 氣溫下降，石門國家森林公園正處於「最美紅葉進行時」，去年早期雨水較多，石門公園內楓樹樹葉普遍比往年紅得早，公園的紅葉觀景台今年已建成並投入使用，該觀景台是觀賞山烏臼 木 紅葉的較佳地點。 駕車遊覽園內的石門風景區及石灶風景區，紅葉總在山路中叢叢簇簇出現。沿小徑登上最高處「天堂頂」，或到峽谷探險區�都可以探尋到美景。1月18日前30名購票進園的遊客將免費獲得由公園送出的紅葉明信片一張。 自駕：廣深高速廣州方向-京珠高速(或機場高速)-街北高速-街口出口-105國道溫泉方向-從莞深高速-桃園出口-按路牌前行3公里。 彩色 寒風中覓花海 深圳東部華僑城有原生態的自然，空氣清新，環山近百里大小路徑沿線載種了景觀樹，形成了山披綠綢、水環翠帶的獨特風景。 在這「地球之腎」的美麗之地，沿著長約600米的浮橋漫步，風車草、紫莎草、鳶尾、菖蒲等多種濕地水生植物迎面招展，還有不少雅致的睡蓮和荷花恬靜盛開，美不勝收。 走進濕地邊的四季花田，可以一一識別四季飄香的黃金香柳，樸實的桃金娘，野趣十足的芒草，火紅的美人蕉，熱烈的龍船花，恬靜的馬櫻丹等20多種花卉，微風吹來，紫色的薰衣草田和金黃的向日葵田泛起層層波浪。此外，還有四季植物館，能看到300多種熱帶、亞熱帶植物爭奇鬥豔。 交通：節假日搭乘東部假日快線2路前來東部華僑城更是快速、便捷。在大俠谷停車場轉乘909專線可至東部華僑城茶溪谷、大華興寺、雲海谷、茵特拉根溫泉。迷你倉出租

農曆新年快到，市面年貨選擇儘管多，但腌尖的人行到腳軟可能都未必覓得心頭好，只因太多抄襲倒模、粗製濫造。與其花錢買「行貨」，不如報班學做手工年貨。除可以做出獨一無二、人無你有的個性化精品，製作過程灌注的心意和祝福，更讓收禮的人心頭一陣暖意。心意福印 雕橡皮章早年在台灣、日本大受歡迎，雖已流行多時，但歷久不衰，原因是技法易、變化多。新年找來年花、爆竹等圖樣，或者自家設計具代表性圖案，又可變出賀年主題印章，用來製作利是封、年卡、揮春、包裝紙等，用途多多。 記得小時候上美勞堂試過用薯仔來雕印章，後來慢慢流行起雕橡皮章，技巧簡易，掌握基本刀法，人人都雕得成。應節的賀年印章班，來上課的有男有女，更有媽咪等足一年專程來學新年印章。「我�想製作以我們一家為icon的印章，用來印利是封。」李先生與太太一人設計了一款圖案，豬仔、熊仔，還有小狗，代表李氏一家三口。另外兩名學員Rosanna和Jenny去年已留意到相關課程，等足一年終於可報班學做。「想設計一個有齊我們家人樣子的印章，用來印利是封。」不過二人不擅畫畫，課程的特色是可以提供任何照片或者將設計概念跟導師說明，導師便可為學員起草圖樣，真正獨一無二。「其實網上或者一些現成的圖案集亦可找到大量不同風格的圖樣，作為印章題材，不一定自己畫。」導師Icy說自己也是自學的，最初亦只上過一堂課，學了基礎刀法，然後便回家找來不同圖樣練習，慢慢開始設計圖案，創出自家風格。 材料及工具 橡皮膠、印章木托、牛油紙、膠墊、筆刀、𠝹刀、鉛筆、間尺、擦膠、印台 步驟 貼士 雕細微處、彎角或圓形，刀可保持不動，轉動橡皮膠配合刀鋒軌道拖出流暢曲線。 賀年橡皮圖章製作班學費：$298 / 堂（2.迷你倉5小時）上課時間及詳情：2887 3887.teapothk.com 機關賀年卡 資訊科技發達加強人類的聯繫，卻令人與人之間溝通愈來愈疏離。尤其電子賀卡盛行之後，已沒多少人會寄賀年卡給親友。其實親筆寫的祝福語，遠比冷冰冰的電腦字來得窩心，若能親手製作更令人感動萬分。別說賀年卡浪費欠環保，由紙品達人Yvonne創作的機關賀年卡，結合利是封和賀卡於一身，絕對實用兼心思滿分！Yvonne說：「賀卡連利是封的設計市面好少見，今次呢款製作步驟簡單，最緊要注意利是封機關位的尺寸要準確，對方收到時能順暢拉開才算成功。材料一般在書局可找到，如果家中沒有熱風機，可用焗爐調校至100度加熱一分鐘，或用熨斗以布蓋上面，加熱壓一下便能做出凸迷你倉將軍澳。」 材料及工具 厚卡紙、圖畫粉紙、日式和紙、金屬立體花、水晶閃石、賀語及圖案印章、凸字粉及膠水印、雙面海綿貼、圓角器、𠝹刀。 步驟 機關賀年卡每張售$85（HKID Gallery 2467 7002），亦可找Yvonne訂製自家款式（每張$90）或上堂跟她學。 賀年卡製作班日期：1月20日（共3班）時間：10am-12nn、2pm-4pm、7pm-9pm地址：觀塘巧明街116號萬年工業大廈2樓21D室收費：$180/堂查詢：.facebook.com/Paper.Renaissance 絲印利是封點印都得 農曆新年𢭃利是至關重要。內含大金額當然既驚且喜，不過亮麗的利是封同樣吸人眼球，如果你已厭倦百家姓和卡通人物利是封，又想有個代表個人或全家的，可學製絲網利是封，想點整都得！簡單一個網、膠刮、繪畫液等已經可以在家玩絲印。導師William說絲印最大好處是夠靈活，想好圖樣後就可開始製作，即使不懂繪畫的人，也可以從電腦中打印心水圖案做底稿，再慢慢畫上網。 無限次任印 在網上畫好圖案，就如同在印章雕好花紋一樣，可無限次任印，印在咕𠱸 、T恤、tote bag上都得。雖然聽起來用途廣泛，不過最怕顏料甩色又或如熨畫一樣出現龜裂情況，「顏料在印刷時已滲入布料內，唔會甩色，印刷後用熨斗熨一熨，可令圖案更為實淨。」William應我們要求即場示範絲印利是封，見他三兩下手勢已完成倒模。「最難是把繪畫液畫上網，手要夠定，否則容易畫出界，圖案線條也會凹凸不平。」如果沒有絲印台可以放在桌上印，不過要先度好利是封位置，以免印歪圖案。想畫不同圖案的利是封，William教路可用專門清洗封網液的speed clean，又或用（洗衣）梳打粉加熱水浸泡10分鐘，刷走封網液。「使用後的絲網，最好在1至2日內清洗，放得愈耐愈難洗掉封網液。」William除了教班外，亦兼賣工具，一套五百元有交易。「部分材料在美國訂購，而絲網係我自製，要將絲網『拉行』，貼在網框上好考工夫，普通人好難自己做。」 材料及工具 絲網、膠刮、絲網繪畫液、絲網封網液、絲網水性油墨金色和銀色、上漿器、水彩筆、鉛筆、白紙 步驟 絲印利是封工作坊日期：1月18日、1月19日、1月25日時間：2pm - 5pm費用：$480（包工具、20個利是封或tote bag一個）地址：上環德輔道西27號星衢商業大廈1樓Crafties電話：3461 1368倉

☉記者 黃世瑾 ○編輯 吳正懿繼聯建光電、天瑞儀器後，迷利倉創業板再現“蛇吞象”的收購案例。昨日，海隆軟件披露重組方案，擬以發行股份購買資產的方式收購二三四五100%股權，後者估值超過公司淨資產6倍。值得一提的是，從方案公佈前的精心布局，到配套募資的靈活運用，再結合公司實際控制人包叔平的部分要約收購，可謂環環相扣，設計之精巧令人側目。在標的股權結構上做文章本次重組前，包叔平控制的股份總額，系由其自己所持股份、公司另37名自然人股東所持股份及古德投資所持股份構成，共計3039.14萬股。本次重組完成後，二三四五董事長兼總經理龐升東、張淑霞、浙富控股將分別持有公司4058.06萬股、4481.44萬股和5719.04萬股。此三者單獨持股，均可輕鬆力壓包叔平所控制的股份。作為海隆軟件的實際控制人，包叔平在穩固控制權方面自有打算。首先，通過配套融資，包叔平控制的信佳科技擬以8.13億元認購公司5398.41萬股。如此，其控制的海隆軟件股份超8400萬股，控制地位大大增強。其次，在二三四五在股權結構上也做了相應安排。去年8月8日，龐升東通過新設瑞信投資，控制了二三四五38%股權。11月17日，龐升東將瑞信投資的股權以7.6億元轉讓給浙富控股及其實際控制人孫毅。值得注意的是，目前龐升東持股比例也低於瑞信投資。此外，孫毅控制的瑞信投資14.47%股權將“轉化”為967.55萬股海隆軟件。孫承諾，本次交易完成後，將委托包叔平行使上述全部股權除收益權和處分權之外的全部股東權利。換而言之，通過先“打散”二三四五股東持股迷你倉再安排過橋接盤者形成一致行動人的方式，包叔平巧妙“化敵為友”，控制的股份數量激增至9405.09萬股。浙富控股與孫毅重組前夜“突擊入股”二三四五的目的也清晰了起來。部分要約收購精心安排盡管如此，全面攤薄後，包叔平持股比例也僅有27.03%，低於30%。對於這種情況，包叔平早有準備。海隆軟件已于2013年12月20日披露要約收購公告，包叔平將向公司除其一致行動人外的其他全體股東發出4893萬股的部分要約收購。公司現第一、第三大股東歐姆龍、慧盛創業已分別與包叔平簽訂意向協議，分別以持有的全部股份1794.52萬股和部分股份540萬股接受本次要約。值得注意的是，本次要約收購價格為15.06元/股，較停盤前公司收盤價折價5%，因此其他股東顯然不願接受本次要約。一位接近公司的人士向記者透露，歐姆龍是公司發起人股東，“上市公司2012年增長情況一般，今年前三季度業績大幅下滑，歐姆龍對此多少不太滿意。正好董事長有加強控制權的意圖，一拍即合。”作為創投機構，慧盛創業同樣在不斷減持海隆軟件。繼2012年減持逾200萬股後，截至三季度末其又減持了逾400萬股。市場人士認為，本次要約收購順利完成是大概率事件。屆時，包叔平將持有及協議控制公司1.17億股股票，實際控制公司33.74%股權，力壓龐升東、張淑霞、浙富控股三者之中任意兩者的持股之和。不僅如此，包叔平對慧盛創業要約收購的540萬股也經過了精心計算。目前，慧盛創業持有816.94萬股，如果被全部收購，海隆軟件的公�持股量約為8517.4萬股，達不到25%的紅線。自存倉

澳門旅遊業持續發展，迷你倉相關接待配套卻一直未能跟上，以口岸交通設施不足為例，不僅影響數以萬計到訪旅客，也令外出旅遊居民叫苦。 有離島社諮委反映，有乘坐夜機抵澳旅客，凌晨十二時半從機場出來，一家大小拖著行李到的士站候車處，人龍早已長長一列。但一部的士也沒有，候車旅客、居民心想不知要等到何時？有旅客嘗試找酒店“發財巴”，但凌晨十二時已收工停駛。雖然仍有巴士行駛，但旅客行李多，又不熟悉巴士路線，唯有繼續等的士。 越等越不妙，眼見有夜間巴士駛至站前，等待多時的本澳居民立即詢問司機車輛是否開往澳門文件倉區，司機回答是，即時很多候車本澳居民趕忙登車，也不理路線是否適合，過橋返回澳門半島再說。但外地旅客不知巴士往哪裡，繼續呆等的士，十分徬徨無助，這種情況在凌晨過後的機場時有發生。 澳門是旅遊城市，與其他地方機場相比，交通配套實在差“一大截”，不要說與市中心連接的專線機場巴欠奉、的士一輛難求、凌晨過後僅剩夜間巴士，根本無法回應旅客和居民的需要。隨著本澳旅遊業持續發展，路�城區娛樂設施不斷落成，預期本澳旅客量有增無減，但國際機場交通接駁如此不濟，怎推動旅遊業優化和發展，澳門又怎稱得上國際旅遊城市？ 存倉

【太陽報專訊】藝人洪永城可說是以「旅遊」起家，迷你倉為拍攝節目，足�遍布半個地球。他認為一個好的背包是旅行的最佳良伴，而從外地購買的旅遊書，則如「指南針」般帶他深入認識當地的獨有文化。另外，他還熱愛收藏明信片、咖啡杯及當地貨幣，為每段旅程留下紀念。洪永城因工作關係經常四圍飛，他覺得每次旅行都可以重整身心，擴闊視野：「有�人飛得太多會覺得好�，但我就唔同，畢竟�香港睇�睇去同一個景點，感覺幾刻板，去到唔同地方先令人有新視野，引發好奇心，有好奇心就自然會有動力。」他覺得世界每個角落都存在不同故事，希望可以揹�背包，走遍世界每個角落，再親筆寫明信片：「將來老�再睇番自己寫過��、儲起一大堆�硬幣，就可以無憾咁同自己講，我從來都唔係個井底之蛙，我已經走過萬里路，認識呢個世界。」洪永城坦言尚有半個地球未踏足，來年希望繼續做一隻「冇腳�雀仔」。各國明信片雖然明信片給人感覺懷舊，但洪永城覺得這正正是最直接留下回憶的東西：「去到每個地方，我都會寫低自己�心情同經歷，當返到屋企收到，睇番自己當時�感受真係好奇妙，有時候突然收到朋友寄畀我�明信片都好開心，始於親筆寫低意義比較大。」旅行書旅行書可說是外遊的必備之物，很多人會預self storage買來準備行程，但洪永城則較為隨心，若果是純粹自己旅行，他會選擇到達當地才買旅遊書：「因為好多時旅遊書為�迎合大家口味，介紹�都係玩、食、睇風景等，往往忽略�當地一�獨特文化，好似�本『Planet Ocean』就介紹當地原來好注重海洋，呢�訊息只有當地旅行書先會睇到，透過書本去發掘佢��內涵。」咖啡杯洪永城每逢到不同國家，都會找尋寫有當地城市名稱的咖啡杯，能夠品嘗不同味道的咖啡之餘，也可以作為留念：「韓國同馬來西亞�個係紀念版，最記得去威尼斯時四圍搵，但原來係冇呢間咖啡店，而去到台南時就��賣晒，惟有下次再去過！」背囊洪永城儲起十多個背囊，全因他覺得去旅行時，不同的背囊可反映出當時的感覺或目的，例如出埠工作，背囊自然斯文得多，他說：「但如果去巴黎，我就想帶一個型格�甚至係皮造�，而去尼泊爾就要換一個多功能性，例如係防水、防風，所以每次我會因應地點、心情去揀隨行�背囊，買埋買埋就咁多個喇！」各國貨幣有人喜歡去旅行時用到一毫子也不剩，但洪永城反而喜歡儲起來，因他覺得與其勉強把錢用光，不如留起來讓自己有藉口舊地重遊：「如果再去�個地方，而你又冇時間提早換錢，呢�Spare Money就好實用，仲可以保值添！」迷利倉

□本報記者 高改芳 上海報道1月16日，self storage馬明哲在上海召開的“中國平安互聯網金融戰略春茗溝通會”上宣佈，平安互聯網金融的目標是以社交金融為核心的移動服務平台。與騰訊、阿里巴巴等現有社交通訊、社交電商不同，平安的互聯網金融是從保險、金融起步，再滲透到社交金融。馬明哲介紹，平安有8000多萬客戶的數據，從這些客戶開始建立平安自己的即時通訊端，完成支付、投資等功能並不困難。中國證券報記者瞭解到，平安已經在內測的“壹錢包”，可以加好友聊天，還可以給自己的朋友轉賬、網上購物，購買平安陸金所的理財產品。業內人士分析，此舉意味著平安不想受制于淘寶、騰訊，要建立自己的互聯網即時通訊平台。打造社交金融平安集團董事長馬明哲表示，平安的互聯網金融戰略將立足于“社交金融”，將金融融入“醫、食、住、行、玩”的生活場景，主要依托的平台是“壹錢包”。平安希望逐步將“壹錢包”的應用滲透到333項生活場景。根據戰略部署，未來平安的互聯網金融平台將著力打造管理財富、管理健康、管理生活三大核心功能，從生活到金融，推動非傳統金融客戶轉化和遷徙成為金融客戶。管理財富被馬明哲形象地稱為賺錢、省錢、借錢。“賺錢”主要是購買陸金所、銀行、證券理財產品等；“省錢”指積分抵現、消費返還、商圈折扣等；“借錢”指信用支付、無卡消費、小額貸款等。馬明哲把騰訊的微信定義為社交通訊，把淘寶的來往定義為社交電商，而把平安即將推出的“壹錢迷利倉”定義為社交金融。他表示，與電商不同，平安的核心優勢在於掌握了健康和資產兩大核心資源。健康就是平安的8000余萬保險客戶；資產就是平安的全金融牌照。而互聯網產業的支柱，也是最賺錢的，就是健康和資產兩大塊。馬明哲說，和騰訊、淘寶在一起不會打架。互聯網對金融業產生的影響包括：10年內60%的現金、信用卡被取代；15年內，大部分中小金融機構的前台由互聯網企業完成；金融機構網點的前台將會小型化、社區化、智能化、多元化。險企爭相“觸網”平安互聯網金融核心團隊也在此次會議上首次集體亮相。他們都是中國平安近年來引進的以“互聯網”+“國際化”為主的精英人才。未來，平安的五大門戶壹錢包、天下通、萬里通、一賬通和醫健通將實現互聯互通。互聯網正深入改變包括保險業在內的金融業態。先是“三馬賣保險”的�安保險在渠道上完全摒棄了保險行業傳統的銀保、人海和電話戰術，從產品需求到服務流程都依托于互聯網。但�安保險更像是馬雲的阿里巴巴子公司——大股東浙江阿里巴巴電子商務有限公司持股19.9%，騰訊、中國平安分別持股15%。因此，平安更急於探索自己的互聯網發展道路。目前,包括國華人壽、泰康人壽、太平洋保險等在內的幾十家保險公司都在淘寶上開了旗艦店。中國太保、中國太平2012年就相繼設立了太平洋保險在線服務科技有限公司、太平電子商務有限公司。人保財險、中國太保、平安車險、大地財險等保險公司均設立了專門的網銷平台。迷你倉
