"Post-90s" wildlife photographer Chu Wenwen: Their real destination is nature.

























As a symbol of the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the fifteenth day of the first month is full of joy for the whole family. On this day, people will attend temple fairs, and in solve riddles on the lanterns, bowls of fragrant glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao will be served on the dining tables of every household. Speaking of this, we can’t avoid a problem: they are all soft, waxy, white, sweet and dense, and they all contain happiness, sweetness, reunion and beauty.What’s the difference between glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao?? Is it true that the heat of glutinous rice balls equals rice?

Bei yuan Xiao nan sweet glutinous dumplings
It’s not just the region that distinguishes itself.
Although the main raw materials are glutinous rice and stuffing, there are obvious differences between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan in all aspects.
From the name, the title of "Yuanxiao" of course comes from the Lantern Festival. In the past, due to the low yield of glutinous rice in the north,Yuanxiao can only be regarded as a special food for the fifteenth day of the first month, and naming this food Yuanxiao also reflects the tradition of "not eating from time to time". In the southern region where glutinous rice production is more abundant, this kind of useFoods made of glutinous rice stuffing are quite common.Well, the meaning of "glutinous rice balls" is also very direct "dumplings in hot water" Only with the improvement of living standards, ingredients are no longer restricted by regions, and this originally distinct boundary has gradually disappeared. Nowadays, whether in the south or the north, whether around the Lantern Festival or not, we can eat these two kinds of food whenever we want.

From the production method, the core of glutinous rice balls is "Bao", that is, glutinous rice flour is mixed with water to form dough, and then the stuffing is wrapped. The core of Yuanxiao is "shaking". After putting the cut stuffing into a basket filled with dry glutinous rice flour, roll it on a layer, then moisten it with water added with glutinous rice flour to make its surface sticky again, and then repeat the above steps until the size and shape are appropriate. So, in terms of raw materials,The stuffing of Yuanxiao is usually processed into a solid state with a hard texture, while the glutinous rice balls do not have this requirement, and the stuffing is more moist and richer.In addition to black sesame seeds and peanuts, there will also be salty dumplings such as meat stuffing.

From the appearance, the surface of glutinous rice balls is smooth because of the good dough, while the surface of Yuanxiao is relatively rough because of the direct use of dry powder. Also due to the use of dry powder, generally speaking, the soup cooked in Yuanxiao is more turbid, while the soup cooked in Tangyuan is more clear. the twoBesides being boiled in water, there are fried dumplings in the north, and dumplings in the south can also be fried..
In addition, there is a kind of "glutinous rice balls" without stuffing in the south, which are directly rolled into smaller balls with good glutinous rice flour balls. Although there is no step of "wrapping" this small dumpling, it can also be considered as a kind of glutinous rice balls because its making process also needs to go through the step of dough making.

Glutinous rice is rich in amylopectin
People with weak digestive function and children should not eat more.
Glutinous rice flour will be used in the production of glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao, and glutinous rice is a kind of food rich in amylopectin, which not only gives food stickiness, but also causes some problems. Different from the amylose in ordinary rice and flour we eat,The molecular weight of amylopectin in glutinous rice is large, and there are 1-6 glycosidic bonds in the structure that cannot be decomposed by enzymes in human body, which makes it difficult to be digested and completely excreted in the stomach..
If a large amount of food containing amylopectin is ingested at one time, it will accumulate in the stomach. On the one hand, it will stimulate the continuous secretion of gastric acid, on the other hand, it will promote the continuous high-intensity peristalsis of the stomach, thus bringing a heavy burden to the stomach. If this process is serious, it may also cause esophageal reflux and cause what we often call "heartburn". For people with weak digestive system functions such as gastrointestinal tract,Eating a lot of glutinous rice products will undoubtedly bring a heavier burden to the weak stomach, so it is suggested that these people should try to reduce the number and frequency of eating glutinous rice products such as glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao..

Besides,Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are also not suitable for younger children.. On the one hand, children’s awareness of self-protection is poor, and if supervision is not in place, they may swallow and choke their throats. This is because children’s breathing intensity, tracheal width and vital capacity are not as good as those of adults. If the above dangers occur, it will easily lead to serious consequences. On the other hand, children’s digestive ability is also weak, and glutinous rice products are more likely to cause heartburn and acid reflux in children. Moreover, the hot stuffing of glutinous rice balls after cooking is also easy to cause burns to children. If children especially want to eat dumplings and yuanxiao, they must pay attention to the need to cool slightly and eat slowly with small mouths; But it’s not good to be too cold, because it will become more difficult to digest glutinous rice flour after it is cold.
Is it convenient to eat immediately after cooking?
Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are not suitable for breakfast and supper!
Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are delicious, but they are undoubtedly high-calorie foods. Glutinous rice flour and the rice we often eat are all processed from rice, and the carbohydrate content is close to 80%.From the point of view of heat,Eating glutinous rice products is no different from eating rice.. In addition, in order to pursue the taste and mouthfeel, the fillings of glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao are often nuts with a lot of added sugar, animal fat or a lot of fat. The seemingly cute little round dumplings are actually like a heat bomb.It is definitely not a good choice for people who need to lose weight..

Tuchong creativity
There is also a lot of families do this, but it is the wrong behavior:Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are not suitable for breakfast in the morning or supper before going to bed.!
In the morning when the gastrointestinal function is poor, eating glutinous rice products that are not easy to digest can easily lead to indigestion and affect the state of the day. From a nutritional point of view, (most) glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao are foods rich in carbohydrates and fats, but low in protein, which is difficult to meet the nutritional needs in the morning. Similarly,If you eat glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao as a midnight snack before going to bed, it may also reduce your sleep quality because of gastrointestinal discomfort, which will affect your work and life the next day..

Conference site
CCTV News:The Ministry of Education held a press conference today (20th) to disclose the details of the reform of the enrollment system for the senior high school entrance examination. According to the "Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Examination Enrollment System in Senior High Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education recently, it is necessary to further promote the reform of the examination enrollment system in senior high schools (referred to as the reform of the senior high school entrance examination).
What is the reform of the senior high school entrance examination?
The goal of this reform is to gradually establish a high school enrollment model of "junior high school academic level test scores+comprehensive quality evaluation". It is important to change the current practice of simply adding up the scores of some subjects as the only basis for admission in senior high school enrollment, and overcome the score theory.
First, promote the junior high school level examination. In the future, junior high school graduation and senior high school entrance examination will be combined into junior high school academic level examination, so as to realize "multi-purpose in one examination" and reduce the burden of students preparing for exams many times.
●Change the composition of examination subjects
Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages are the basic subjects, and they are unified as admission scoring subjects. Incorporate physical education into the admission scoring subjects, scientifically determine the test scores or other requirements, and guide students to strengthen physical exercise. At the same time, according to the principle of giving consideration to both arts and sciences and moderate burden, the pilot areas will determine other subjects to be included in the "admission scoring subjects" to prevent group partiality. The subjects set in the national curriculum plan are all included in the scope of the academic level examination, but it is not required to include all subjects in the enrollment scoring subjects, so as not to increase the burden on students.
This reform also puts forward that students can be given the right to choose and develop their advantages and specialties on the premise that each course is qualified. Therefore, students will be able to choose other "admission scoring subjects" except Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages and physical education in the academic level examination. However, we can’t just choose liberal arts subjects, and we can’t just choose science subjects. We should give consideration to both arts and sciences. Subjects that have no choice should not only be "studied" and "tested", but also be "qualified".
●Change the content of the exam
Reduce the content of simple memory and mechanical training, focus on examining students’ ability to analyze and solve problems, and enhance students’ innovative spirit and ability.
●Change performance expression
It can be presented in various forms, such as scores and grades. It reiterates the requirement of encouraging qualified areas to implement "grades" to avoid students’ competing for points and excessive competition.
Second, improve students’ comprehensive quality evaluation. The reform clearly requires the pilot areas to take the comprehensive quality evaluation as the basis or reference for high school enrollment, so that the "comprehensive quality evaluation", which used to be in a subordinate and reference position, becomes the protagonist and really plays a role in high school enrollment. As for the evaluation content, it is required to refine and improve the evaluation content and requirements in five aspects: ideological and moral character, academic level, physical and mental health, artistic accomplishment and social practice. The evaluation focuses on reflecting students’ all-round development and personality traits, and paying attention to examining students’ daily behavior norms and outstanding performance. In the evaluation procedure, it is emphasized to make realistic records, publicize and review the factual materials used for enrollment, and establish comprehensive quality evaluation files. In the use of results, whoever uses and evaluates the results should be implemented, and senior high schools should formulate specific use methods according to the school-running characteristics, so that comprehensive quality evaluation can really play a role in enrollment and crack the score-only.
Weifang, Shandong (treating the comprehensive quality evaluation results as a combination with Chinese, mathematics and other subjects), Jiaxing, Zhejiang (converting the comprehensive quality evaluation results into corresponding scores and counting them in the total score, with a perfect score of 20 points), Changsha, Hunan (screening according to the order of academic performance, comprehensive quality evaluation results, policy bonus points and foreign language scores) and other places, although the specific methods are different, they have been included in the enrollment system.
Third, reform the enrollment methods.Significantly reduce and strictly control bonus items. Cancellation of sports, art and other competition bonus items, related specialties and performances are included in the students’ comprehensive quality evaluation files, which will be used as a reference when enrolling students. Further improve the independent enrollment policy, give qualified high school a certain number of independent enrollment places, recruit students with academic expertise and innovative potential, and encourage the development of students’ interests.

When will the reform of senior high school entrance examination begin?
Because the junior high school level examination is generally organized and implemented by the local cities, it is required that the local cities formulate a scientific and standardized comprehensive quality evaluation system, formulate a specific implementation plan for the senior high school entrance examination reform and report it to the provincial education administrative department for the record. The provincial education administrative department shall formulate unified requirements for junior high school academic level examination and comprehensive quality evaluation; Select qualified cities to further expand the comprehensive reform pilot, formulate the implementation opinions of the senior high school entrance examination reform, and report them to the Ministry of Education for the record before the end of August 2017.
The comprehensive reform pilot has been implemented since the first-year junior high school students who entered the school after 2017. The current junior high school students and non-pilot cities still implement the original examination enrollment method unchanged. By the year 2020, a model of high school entrance examination based on academic achievement and comprehensive quality evaluation will be initially formed. (CCTV reporter Zhou Peipei)
No matter what job you do, the key is to look at the boss’s character and manner. Meet a boss who only knows how to calculate employees and is not enlightened. Excuse me, is it useful to say such a lot of nonsense?
That’s right! Are there any good enterprises in China? No! The world’s century-old corporate brand is Japan at most.
The premise is to position yourself accurately, not to criticize the boss.
This article is most popular with bosses.
To sum up:
1- Improve yourself first.
2- If you feel that giving is not proportional to getting, you will jump ship.
There is Bole in the world, and then there is a swift horse. There are many swift horses, but Bole is not. Therefore, although there is a famous horse, it is only humiliated by slaves, and it is not called a thousand miles to die in the trough.
A horse can travel a thousand miles, and a stone will be eaten at once. Horse eaters don’t know that they can travel thousands of miles and eat. It’s a horse. Although it has the ability to travel a thousand miles, it’s only beautiful because of insufficient food and strength, and it’s impossible to wait with a regular horse. Why not ask it to travel a thousand miles?
If you don’t follow its path, you can’t make the best use of your food, but you can’t understand its meaning by singing it. If you implement it, you will face it and say, "There is no horse in the world!" Whoo! Is it really innocent? or that he does not understand horses
awesome
These things will not be believed by students in society. Let me say something, platform is greater than effort, and emotional intelligence is greater than IQ. That’s it?
This is the veteran.
First of all, there must be a good platform, and secondly, the choice is greater than the effort.
Based on my 20 years’ work experience, I think carefully that the author’s summary is too in place. Work is a part of life, in which people’s minds grow, their horizons widen and the whole person becomes more and more mature.
agree
You are getting more and more stupid.
Yan Luowang knows everything! How many people can persist? Persistence is the simplest and most effective start.
What do you mean, think too much and do too little? What the boss thinks! No matter how much you do, you can’t match a word from your relatives! It’s right to improve your innocence!
Poisoned chicken soup with arsenic
Poisonous chicken soup is everywhere …
It’s sheer nonsense. The fact is that people talk, watch dishes and cook, and they only ask others, but they don’t know how to ask themselves and their own people to say one thing and do another. Is it ridiculous?
The boss is responsible for the employees, and the employees are responsible for the work. When employees sweat, the boss should not cheat them.
So I often say that the boss will die for 7749 days if he makes money without conscience.
Intestinal perforation and abdominal rot
impossible to acquire a peaceful end
Rich people have few good people.
I don’t know that this word was written a few years ago … The most important thing to come out to work is to find ways to become good friends with people who are better than you (that is, to establish contacts)! In this way, there will be more and better opportunities for future life, and you can only work for life if you work blindly.
Who had the ability at first? They all go up with people who are the same as or a little better than themselves.
First of all, you should have the ability. Otherwise, you won’t be friends with capable people.
Half of China’s fake workers. .
Don’t fart, don’t give you money, are you willing to work?
Working hard, the boss won’t get a raise.
It’s all mutual. Under a boss who haggles over every ounce, there can be no hard-working employees.
That’s right.
Can’t stand the anger
It’s not bad to be an ordinary person if you don’t want to be lucky. It’s good to have food, clothing and shelter.
The choice is wrong, and the efforts are in vain.
Everything is an effort
Willing to invest in yourself and make yourself excellent.

In Dacheng Road Market, the staff carefully inspected the meat quality inspection certificate and animal quarantine certificate of each pork stall, and then conducted on-site sampling inspection on all kinds of vegetables in the market to check whether the pesticide residues were qualified. The reporter learned that before 7 o’clock every morning, the market supervision staff in the area will randomly select 10-12 varieties of vegetables in the market for on-site inspection. All the test results will be published on the "vegetable test results publicity" display screen in the market, and the name of the dish, the booth and the test results will be clearly written. And this kind of work will be staged in the major farmers’ markets in Wuhan every day.

Many families choose to have dinner in the restaurant for the Spring Festival reunion dinner. The reporter followed the market supervision staff to Hujin Restaurant and made a surprise inspection of the implementation of the food safety management system in the restaurant, such as environmental sanitation, equipment and facilities, procurement and storage of raw materials, tableware cleaning and disinfection, and sample retention. According to the inspection results, the hardware facilities of the restaurant are good, the cleanliness of tableware is kept at a good level, and the hygiene management is in place.

Hubei Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued food safety consumption tips for Spring Festival dinners to remind consumers to pay attention to food safety for holiday dinners.
First, we should pay attention to the hygiene of dining places. Consumers are advised to choose a safe and hygienic catering unit to eat, and try to eat in a restaurant with a food business license, good sanitary conditions, complete facilities, high quantitative level (smiling or laughing face) and the implementation of "bright kitchen". The video of the "bright kitchen" catering unit can supervise the post-kitchen processing and production process. Try to avoid going to restaurants that rank and turn over too many tables to eat, and prevent food safety problems in cleaning and disinfection due to super reception.
The second is to pay attention to the safety of dishes and ingredients. Holiday dinners should pay attention to a balanced diet, a combination of meat and vegetables, and reasonable nutrition. The ingredients should be mainly fresh in the season, and more hot foods should be cooked and cooked. High-risk foods such as bright-colored stewed vegetables, cold dishes, raw seafood, green beans and wild mushrooms should be carefully selected. When eating, pay attention to distinguish whether the color and taste of food are abnormal, do not eat foods with abnormal senses, "novelty" and "game", do not overeat, and limit drinking.
The third is to pay attention to personal hygiene habits. Establish a scientific and civilized consumption concept, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands before meals, use sterilized tableware, advocate sharing meals with public chopsticks and spoons, and reduce the risk of cross-contamination at dinner.
Fourth, we should pay attention to safeguarding our own rights and interests. When food safety problems are found, the problem food and consumption bills should be kept well, and complaints should be made to 12315 or the local market supervision department in time. In case of suspected food poisoning, you should seek medical attention in time and keep relevant evidence so that relevant departments can investigate and collect evidence.
The fifth is to ensure the safety of self-hosted family banquets. For collective dinners hosted by rural families, chefs with health certificates and trained qualifications should be selected to host the banquets. Rural dining places should be clean and hygienic, the purchased and used food and raw materials should be of clear source and qualified quality, the food should be cooked thoroughly, and the perishable food and cooked food should be stored in a reasonable way.

Everyone has a love of beauty. In the era of Yan value economy, consumers’ pursuit of beauty supports the sustained growth of the beauty industry. However, in a long historical period, foreign brands have always occupied a dominant position in China’s beauty market, and the late-developing domestic brands can only catch up with each other in this marathon.
However, the competitive landscape is changing. In recent years, the rise of domestic beauty cosmetics has accelerated, and the market penetration rate has steadily increased. Last year’s "double 11", a report card made everyone shine-domestic brands surpassed international brands for the first time and won the beauty category titles on Tmall and Tik Tok platforms. In the context of the general decline of foreign brands, domestic beauty products have achieved contrarian growth. The "proud" performance is not only driven by the new trend in the consumption field, but also depends on the strong investment of domestic brands in ingredient research and development, the continuous pursuit of cost performance and the gradual improvement of brand strength.
Recently,
In the "Times Meeting Room" column, the reporter had an in-depth conversation with Sun Huaiqing, Chairman and CEO of the Board of Directors, and Xu Xiaofang, Chief Analyst of Beauty and Commerce of CITIC Securities Research Department, to analyze the reasons behind the rise of domestic beauty products, discuss how technology can reshape the competitive landscape of China’s beauty industry in the "Composition Age", and look forward to the investment opportunities of beauty track in 2024.
Leading the "Component Age" with "Chip-level Revolution"
"2023 is the first year of China cosmetics, and it is also the origin of national brands surpassing multinational brands in an all-round way." Sun Huaiqing said that during several major e-commerce promotion activities last year, there was an obvious "trade-off" in the sales growth rate of national brands and multinational brands. On the one hand, some national brands have gained dozens of points of growth; On the other hand, some international brands have experienced a bleak performance decline.
According to the data of China Cosmetics Yearbook 2023, the domestic cosmetic market in China in 2023 is larger than that of foreign brands. It is worth noting that this is also the first time that domestic brands have surpassed foreign brands in online and offline channels. In Sun Huaiqing’s view, "this is not the end" and the trend will continue.
What does domestic beauty accelerate to catch up with? Both Sun Huaiqing and Xu Xiaofang frequently mentioned the progress of raw materials and the rise of local ingredients. "In the past few years, we have paid attention to the rise of a number of local bioactive raw materials suppliers in China, which can provide high-quality and low-cost raw materials for downstream brands to add in sufficient quantities. This laid a solid foundation for the product strength of domestic beauty products. " Xu Xiaofang said.
In recent years, Chinese consumers’ awareness of ingredients has deepened, and the demand for skin care products has advanced towards more personalized segmentation. Recombinant collagen is the "new top flow" in the current functional skin care track. Especially in recent days, international big names have entered the market one after another, betting on recombinant collagen components. LVMH’s private equity fund led the domestic recombinant collagen enterprises in September last year, and L ‘Oreal also introduced recombinant collagen into new products in December last year. According to the global growth consulting firm Jost Sullivan, in 2025, the market share of recombinant collagen will surpass hyaluronic acid and become the first raw material component of skin care products.
In the cosmetics industry, raw materials and ingredients have always been regarded as the "soul", which is also the shortcoming and weakness of China cosmetics companies in the past. However, in the component of recombinant collagen, local domestic brands have played the role of "leader". "Marumi announced in 2021 that China is leading the world in the research of recombinant collagen, and we are long-term practitioners, cultivators and leaders of this ingredient." Sun Huaiqing said.
Anti-aging is the rigid demand of skin care products. The essence of aging is the loss of human collagen. To resist aging, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and supplement collagen. At present, animal-derived collagen is widely used in skin care products because of its low cost and simple process. According to Sun Huaiqing, animal-derived collagen has three natural pain points: first, extracted from animal leather, it is inevitable that there is solvent residue, which is not gentle enough; Second, animal products may carry pathogens and are not safe enough; Third, animal collagen and human collagen are not the same species, and the absorption effect is not good enough.
"In order to solve these problems, there are many skin care products that stimulate the skin to produce collagen by using ingredients such as retinol or peptides. Through more than 10 years of research, we have synthesized humanized collagen similar to collagen in human skin by gene recombination, which can directly supplement the collagen lost by human body. " Sun Huaiqing said.
Chip is regarded as the key to China’s breakthrough in the field of science and technology, and Sun Huaiqing regards the success of component research and development as a "chip-level revolution". "The change brought by China brand to China cosmetics industry is a’ chip-level revolution’. This is the goal we are striving for and what is happening now. " Sun Huaiqing said.
"It’s not that foreign goods can’t afford it, but that domestic products are more cost-effective." "You can buy expensive ones, but you can’t buy expensive ones." … Under the background of the rise of generation Z and the change of consumption concept, the global consumer industry has ushered in profound changes, and the behavior pattern of the younger generation of consumers has changed from blindly advocating big brands to rational consumption and pursuing cost-effectiveness.
This trend in the field of consumption is undoubtedly a great opportunity for domestic beauty.
"At this stage, China Cosmetics fits consumers’ pursuit of cost performance very well." Xu Xiaofang told reporters that the booming raw material supply in the upstream provided raw materials with reasonable price, high activity and high purity, which enabled the downstream cosmetics brands to make skin care products with the same effect as international brands, and the price was more advantageous, thus better meeting the needs of consumers in China.
In the past, domestic beauty cosmetics gave people the impression that they were "big brands and cheap bowls". Is the current popular "cost performance" another synonym for low quality and low price? Sun Huaiqing gave a clear negative answer to this question. In his view, consumers have grown more savvy, and savvy consumers always hope that the money they pay is valuable when buying goods. High cost performance does not mean that the absolute price is low, but that the quality of this product brings consumers "sex" far higher than "price".
Take Marubi’s recombinant collagen mini-golden needle essence product as an example. According to Sun Huaiqing, the current price of this product is between 300 yuan and 400 yuan, but other products with similar efficacy and skin care experience on the market may cost 500 yuan to 600 yuan. Comparing the two, Marumi’s products are more cost-effective. "Cost performance has nothing to do with the absolute value of the price, but with the experience, feeling and change it brings to people. Marumi is a firm follower, practitioner and leader in cost performance. " Sun Huaiqing said.
Xu Xiaofang also observed that with the all-round progress of domestic beauty cosmetics in raw materials, packaging and marketing, the prices of many local cosmetic brands are gradually increasing. "Five years ago, the unit price of many mainstream local brand goods was around 100 yuan, and now it has gradually expanded to 200 yuan and higher price bands. But the current price is not too high, so it still has a strong cost performance for consumers. " Xu Xiaofang said.
At the same time, with the generation Z, represented by the post-90s generation, gradually becoming the main consumer in the field of beauty cosmetics, the new generation of consumers are more rational and smart in their consumption behavior, with stronger national self-confidence and higher willingness to try local brands, which provides broad opportunities for the rise of domestic beauty cosmetics.
Sun Huaiqing told reporters that the average penetration rate of cosmetics among post-90s consumers in China has exceeded that of foreign consumers, which means that their demand for skin care and make-up is stronger. What this generation has seen is a prosperous and prosperous China, which not only has economic self-confidence, but also gains cultural self-confidence in the process of growing up. The founders and operators of China brand know China consumers better and are better at emotional interaction with China consumers than multinational brands, so they have more advantages.
In recent years, the competition in the booming beauty industry has become increasingly fierce, and a number of cutting-edge brands have risen rapidly, which are favored by young consumers and have a very strong growth momentum. In this regard, as a domestic brand with a history of more than 20 years, Sun Huaiqing believes that Marumi still has strong vitality. "In a forest, vines, vines and ferns often grow fastest, but the trees have the strongest vitality." Sun Huaiqing said that the continuous investment in R&D, perfect supply chain, abundant capital reserves, a team of over 1,000 people with common values, and a basic customer base of over 10 million people are all the advantages and confidence of Marumi. "Only when the roots are deep will the trees grow tall." In Sun Huaiqing’s view, Marumi is the big tree in the forest with its roots deeply rooted in the ground.
Although in 2023, domestic beauty products achieved many surprising results in terms of increasing domestic market share and "sailing out to sea", in the secondary market, the beauty sector as a whole was in a downward channel in the past year. There is a certain degree of deviation between the industry performance and the valuation trend of the secondary market.
In this regard, Xu Xiaofang said that the rise and fall of stock prices is not only related to the fundamental situation of the industry and the company, but also the result of the comprehensive effects of valuation, capital movements, policy changes and other factors. In the past few years, the valuation of the entire beauty plate has experienced a period of continuous increase. In 2023, the valuation ushered in adjustment and decline, and the reflection on the stock price was also obvious. "But from a longer time axis, the price of the stock will definitely reflect the real value of the company in the end." Xu Xiaofang said.
"I boldly predict that in the next 5-7 years, the sales of China brand in China market will completely surpass those of multinational brands." Sun Huaiqing told reporters. At the same time, he predicted that three to five world-class cosmetics groups would be born in China no later than 2049. Based on this judgment, he believes that smart and far-sighted investors will use their own money to cast brands that they think are worth investing in. Therefore, the value of an excellent company will eventually be reflected in the stock price.
"Looking forward to 2024, we will continue to maintain confidence in the beauty industry, which is expected to continue to grow steadily." Talking about the investment opportunities in 2024, Xu Xiaofang judged this. Specifically, she believes that investors can pay attention to some structural opportunities when laying out the beauty track, and there are three main lines to focus on: first, continue to follow the main line of cost performance, second, make beauty science and technology, and third, pay attention to a group of China local raw material enterprises that are rising in the upstream of the industrial chain.
