As the year approaches, I believe we are most concerned about two things: First, the A shares that have repeatedly fallen below 2,800 points have made China investors "lose their shorts"; second, whether the annual meeting and the year-end bonus will be "a fart year" as Wang Jianlin said, or "don’t give up hope even if you lose everything in the secondary market, after all, there is still a tertiary market".

The good news is that according to the data released by the national statistics department, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China reached 126.06 trillion yuan in 2023, up 5.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.2 percentage points faster than that of 2022.

In addition, the National Bureau of Statistics released the domestic consumption data for the whole year of 2023. From January to December 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 47,149.5 billion yuan, an increase of 7.2% over the previous year. Among them, the retail sales of cosmetics was 414.2 billion yuan, up 5.1%, and the growth rate of cosmetics market did not outperform the market.

At the end of January, 2024, listed beauty companies at home and abroad released their 2023 financial reports and performance forecasts one after another. C2CC Media’s "Counting Beauty" column counted the relevant financial report data, and found that for domestic beauty companies, profit growth and turning losses into profits are the main melody melody, but it seems that profit growth can’t save the bleak capital market, while international beauty companies are mixed. Behind the performance growth, it is more through "price increase strategy" to offset the continuation of product sales.

We can also spy from the import and export data released by the General Administration of Customs in 2023. From January to December 2023, the total import and export value was 41.76 trillion yuan, up 0.2% year-on-year, of which the quantity and amount of cosmetics showed a double downward trend. From January to December, the import of beauty cosmetics and toiletries was 358,600 tons, down 14.2% year-on-year, and the total import value was 126.02 billion yuan, down 15.2% year-on-year.

　　"One thousand hopes, one hundred percent happiness."

　　"Buy more, buy less, buy as much as you want, and you will win sooner or later." … …

　　Previously, walking on the street, you can often see similar slogans hanging outside the lottery betting station; In the betting station, many lottery players get together to exchange experiences. But now, is such a scene less and less common? In June this year, the national lottery sales totaled 34.767 billion yuan, a decrease of 23.862 billion yuan or 40.7% over the same period of last year. Not only did the monthly data decline, but combing the lottery sales data in the past decade found that the lottery sales showed negative growth year-on-year for the first time in the first half of this year. What causes the lottery market to be cold? What is the future trend of lottery market?

　　In the first half of the year, national lottery sales fell first.

　　From January to June this year, the national lottery sales totaled 212.596 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 32.602 billion yuan or 13.3%. Among them, the sales of welfare lottery institutions was 97.757 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.838 billion yuan or 11.6%; The sales of sports lottery institutions reached 114.839 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.764 billion yuan or 14.7%.

　　Combing 2010 — The lottery sales data in the first half of the decade in 2019 found that this was the first year-on-year decline.

　　Judging from the monthly data, in June this year, the country sold a total of 34.767 billion yuan of lottery tickets, down 40.7% from the same period of last year. The year-on-year decline was mainly due to the large sales of quiz lottery games in the World Cup in June 2018, with a high base in the same period last year. In the first half of 2018, lottery sales increased by as much as 19.6%. Looking back on the past decade, the lottery market experienced a double-digit rapid growth period in 2010-2012, maintaining a high growth rate of more than 20%; In 2013 and 2014, the growth rate of national lottery sales fell below 20%; From 2015 to the first half of 2017, the growth rate of national lottery sales dropped significantly, only 5.2%, 3.5% and 5.5% respectively. Negative growth occurred for the first time in the first half of 2019.

　　Where do people prefer to buy lottery tickets?

　　Geographically, data from the Ministry of Finance show that in June this year, lottery sales in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) all declined compared with the same period of last year.

　　However, from the cumulative data in the first half of the year, lottery sales in five provinces increased year-on-year, namely Sichuan, Shanghai, Henan, Anhui and Beijing, with an increase of 1.681 billion yuan, 234 million yuan, 190 million yuan, 172 million yuan and 45 million yuan respectively. As far as the overall sales volume in the first half of the year is concerned, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang and Henan rank among the top five in the country.

　　Strengthen the supervision of high-frequency fast-opening games

　　Why did lottery sales decline in the first half of this year? An expert in the lottery industry analyzed that at the beginning of this year, in order to regulate the lottery market, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments strengthened the supervision of high-frequency quick-opening games and quiz games, extended the sales time of high-frequency quick-opening games and reduced the number of lottery games.

　　High-frequency fast-opening games mainly complete the process from sales to lottery every few minutes or ten minutes through electronic equipment. The data shows that in 2017, the share of Fucai quick-opening games in the total sales volume of Fucai reached 40%. In that year, the total sales volume of national welfare lottery was 216.977 billion yuan, of which the sales volume of quick-opening games was 87.522 billion yuan. A lottery player said: "The number of high-frequency fast-opening games is small, there are many awards, and the lottery is frequent. Many domestic lottery buyers are speculative when buying high-frequency fast-opening games. Some lottery buyers can play all day and easily lose their minds."

　　In January this year, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General Administration of Sports issued a notice requesting to adjust the rules of high-frequency fast-opening lottery games and quiz lottery games and strengthen the supervision of the lottery market. According to the notice, in recent years, China’s lottery industry has generally shown a sustained and healthy development trend. At the same time, there are still irrational lottery buying phenomena in the lottery market, such as unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets and large bets. In particular, the market supervision of welfare lottery quick-opening games, sports lottery high-frequency games and sports lottery national online single-game quiz games needs to be strengthened.

　　The notice is clear. From February 11th, if the sales time of high-frequency quick-start games is shorter than 20 minutes, it will be adjusted to 20 minutes. Since 2019, the number of contests and events for the annual quiz game shall not be higher than 70% of the number of contests and events for sale in 2018.

　　The above-mentioned experts also pointed out that the main reason is that there was a World Cup in June 2018. At that time, the sales volume of SMG was particularly large, which also boosted the sales volume of sports lottery. However, there were no important sports events in June this year. The sharp decline in sports lottery sales in June was an important factor in the decline in lottery sales in the first half of the year.

　　Internet lottery was banned.

　　The ban on internet lottery sales also has an impact on lottery sales. In August 2018, the Ministry of Finance and other 12 departments jointly issued a document, resolutely prohibiting the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets.

　　Internet lottery had previously shown a blowout growth trend in 2014. The huge sales volume of nearly 100 billion yuan makes internet lottery purchase an important force to promote the development of lottery market.

　　In 2014, Internet lottery experienced a glorious period. Major sports events, including the World Cup in Brazil, boosted the sales of Internet lottery by 102% from 42 billion yuan in 2013 to 85 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total lottery sales. According to the Analysis Report of Internet Lottery Market in 2014, there were more than 100 million users in China who bought lottery tickets through Internet channels, and the Internet became an important betting platform and channel for users.

　　Since then, since 2015, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have repeatedly issued a document to prohibit the sale of lottery tickets through Internet channels. However, during the 2018 World Cup, a large number of mobile apps illegally sold lottery tickets through the Internet.

　　At that time, there were many fish that escaped from the net without being investigated. According to reports, through the search of "lottery" in Android and Apple mobile phone stores, some apps have stopped selling lottery tickets, but there are still many softwares that can buy lottery tickets. In the early days of the World Cup last year, many companies launched online lottery platforms again. Finally, many online football lottery platforms such as "Winning the lottery every day" and "Everyone Winning the lottery" stopped selling on June 20 last year.

After the water-saving irrigation project of tea garden in Juexi Town, Xuzhou District, Yibin City was completed and put into use, the local tea production and output value showed an increasing trend.

Chashan Road Network, contention village, Huishan Town, wutongqiao district City, Leshan City.

At the end of the year, millions of acres of tea gardens in Sichuan are brewing a new season next spring.

On December 15th, the e-commerce live broadcast base of the national tea industry was officially unveiled in the Science Park of Chuancha Group, Jinqiuhu Town, Cuiping District, Yibin City. As one of the earliest spring teas listed in Sichuan, the pre-sale information of Yibin morning tea was released simultaneously on the whole network in 2024.

In 2023, Sichuan tea achieved gratifying results: the tea garden area in the province was stable at about 5.9 million mu, and the comprehensive output value was 120 billion yuan. This is the third consecutive year that the annual output value of Sichuan tea has exceeded 100 billion yuan, and it continues to maintain a high-spirited attitude of steady progress.

The construction of high-standard bases continues to advance, the intensive processing continues to break through, and the "Sichuan tea leaves Sichuan" runs out of the "acceleration" … In 2023, Sichuan tea handed over a high score answer sheet to help the rural areas revitalize in an all-round way.

The construction of high-standard bases continued to advance.

At the end of December, in Sanguan Village, Wuchang Town, Jiajiang County, Leshan City, the tea trees all over the mountains were green and green. Sanguan Village is the largest export tea filing base in Jiajiang County, and just finished picking this summer and autumn tea a few months ago. Promote standardized planting, machine-picked summer and autumn tea, and supply products to overseas markets. Sanguan Village was rated as "National Rural Characteristic Industry 100 million Village" by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs a few years ago.

Behind the completion of the "100 million yuan village" is the unremitting efforts of Sanguan Village to standardize and scale up the tea base.

According to the insiders, Sichuan tea was once faced with the dilemma of large area but scattered planting, many tea farmers but few large-scale operations. It is a key step to realize modern operation and improve economic benefits to build a small-scale, scattered tea garden into a large-scale, standardized, green, improved variety, digital and mechanized high-standard tea base.

Nowadays, in Sanguan Village, pieces of standardized tea gardens can be seen everywhere, and large-scale tea gardens have been formed, which has promoted the development of tea industry in the county. Jiajiang tea industry base has been built on a larger scale, with a tea planting area of 300,000 mu, including 100,000 mu of export tea filing base. In 2022, Jiajiang County’s tea export volume and export volume ranked first in the province.

In Sichuan, such tea bases are multiplying.

Since the beginning of this year, Sichuan has focused on the provincial-level projects such as the superior characteristic industrial cluster of morning tea in southwest Sichuan, the industrial cluster of black tea in Gongfu, and the strong town of agricultural industry, strengthened cooperation with academicians and scientific research institutions such as Sichuan Agricultural University, Tea Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Tea Research Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, strengthened Industry-University-Research’s collaborative research, popularized technologies such as machine mining, machine tillage and machine defense, and comprehensively applied the "two substitutes" green production and low-yield and low-efficiency tea garden transformation technologies. At the same time, implement integrated facilities of water and fertilizer in suitable areas, and vigorously promote the scale, standardization, greening, improved varieties, digitalization and mechanization of industrial bases.

A piece of high-standard tea garden is rapidly formed. The data shows that in 2023, the area of clonal tea gardens in the province reached 5,244,900 mu, an increase of 110,600 mu over the previous year; The area of low-yield and low-efficiency tea gardens in the province has reached 1.7 million mu, the area of mechanical tea gardens has reached 2.7637 million mu, and the area of green prevention and control has reached 4.615 million mu.

A batch of demonstration bases has accelerated. This year, tea bases in Rongxian County, Zigong City and Pingwu County, Mianyang City were selected into the list of high-quality development bases for agricultural international trade in the whole province, Shuang Fu Town, Emei Mountain City and Jiezi Town, Chongzhou City were selected as national agricultural industrial strong towns, Tuanba Town, Dazhu County, Caoba Town, Yucheng District, Ya ‘an City, Xintian Town, Yingjing County, Bazhong City, Yunding Town, wangcang county Mumen Town, Guangyuan City and Kuiduo Town, Jiulong County, Ganzi Prefecture were selected as provincial agricultural industrial strong towns.

The deep processing of tea has been continuously broken through.

Near the end of the year, a large number of agricultural industrial projects in Sichuan have been accelerated.

In Fenghuanghu Village, Dadukou Town, Naxi District, Luzhou City, the agricultural and sideline products processing park (tea processing factory) in Naxi District will speed up the decoration and equipment installation, and it is planned to be put into operation before the end of the year. After the park is put into operation, the annual processing capacity will reach 5,000 tons, which will effectively solve the problems of local tea planting, processing and sales, further enhance the tea processing capacity of Naxi Tea Modern Agricultural Park, extend the industrial chain, and cultivate and expand the scale of Naxi tea trading market.

As the "hometown of early morning tea in China", Naxi District is the earliest area where tea trees germinate at the same latitude in the world. In recent years, Naxi District regards the tea industry as one of the leading industries in the whole region, and based on the development idea of "early and organic", it cultivates refined Sichuan tea and builds a billion-dollar tea industry.

In view of the problems faced by Sichuan tea, such as low comprehensive utilization rate of tea deep processing and insufficient development of high-tech products and high value-added products, it is listed as an important matter for the high-quality development of Sichuan tea industry to improve the processing level of refined Sichuan tea. This year, Sichuan has further promoted the clean and standardized construction of tea enterprises, promoted the continuous, automatic, digital and intelligent transformation of production lines, improved the grading and product packaging capabilities, and improved the production efficiency and processing level of processing equipment. Around the construction of enterprise raw material base, guide the nearest standardized layout of processing workshops, transform and optimize processing equipment, and realize clean production.

The proportion of high-end famous tea continues to increase. This year, the province’s famous tea output reached 258,000 tons, the output value reached 35.49 billion yuan, the clean processing rate reached more than 75%, the mechanism rate reached 92%, and the facilities and equipment such as storage, preservation and cold chain logistics were more perfect. The output of characteristic craft teas such as yellow tea, white tea and purple tea continued to increase. This year, the output of yellow tea and purple tea in Guangyuan reached 70 tons and 1.2 tons respectively, with an output value of 1 billion yuan and 0.2 billion yuan.

The development of extended chain products continued to accelerate. This year, Guangyuan introduced the team of Liu Minru, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, to develop the value of brand tea, and Ya ‘an and west china hospital jointly studied the value of Tibetan tea, continuously extending the industrial chain and strengthening the value chain.

"Sichuan tea leaves Sichuan" runs out of "acceleration"

On November 15th, at the first China (Heilongjiang) International Green Food and National Soybean Industry Expo, the billboard printed with "Tianfu Longya Quality Sichuan Tea" was particularly conspicuous.

"This is Sichuan Tea’s’ Kanto’ after four years!" A comparison of the participation of Sichuan tea made Jiang Ningshan, deputy secretary of Sichuan Sichuan Sichuan Tea Brand Promotion Association, happy-four years ago, at the seventh Heilongjiang Green Food Industry Expo, there were only four tea enterprises in the province participating in the 200-square-meter exhibition area. In this activity, the 288-square-meter exhibition area occupied two-thirds of the product display, and the remaining space was crowded into 10 tea enterprises.

Not just an exhibition. This year, in Harbin Dafa International Tea City, as the first "stagnation point" of Sichuan tea in Northeast China, the Harbin Marketing Promotion Center of "Sichuan Tianfu Longya Quality Sichuan Tea" officially opened, which will exert its strength in the fields of Sichuan tea culture communication, Sichuan tea brand marketing, market development, regional investment promotion and joining, and form a complete three-dimensional service system. In addition, at the end of November, the promotion activity of Tianfu Longya Micangshan Tea in Urumqi was held in Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutunhe District), and the pace of Sichuan tea leaving Sichuan was more intensive.

The relevant person in charge of Sichuan Chuancha Brand Promotion Association introduced that this year Sichuan established an operating mechanism for the development, promotion, protection and utilization of Sichuan tea brands, built a brand system of "regional brand+enterprise brand+product brand", and promoted the construction of national and provincial geographical indication product protection demonstration zones. At the same time, adhere to the "Tianfu Longya" provincial public brand as the guide, and jointly promote the creation of regional public brands such as "three mountains and one red in the morning", establish and improve the brand standard system, increase the intensity of standard implementation and use, and conduct enterprise self-inspection, government sampling inspection and social supervision on products.

"Sichuan tea leaves Sichuan" runs out of "acceleration" This year, we continued to intensify the promotion of brand and quality Sichuan tea, and successively held tea events such as Sichuan Tea Mining Week, the 12th Sichuan International Tea Expo, the 4th International (Leshan) Green Tea Conference, and participated in exhibitions and sales activities such as China International Tea Expo and China (Chongqing) International Tea Industry Expo. During the Chengdu Universiade, Guangyuan Huangcha held a promotion activity of "Join hands with the Universiade to play in Guangyuan", and Yibin, Guangyuan, Ya ‘an and other places held promotion activities in Beijing, Urumqi and other major sales areas to further promote "Sichuan tea out of Sichuan".

Brand value continues to improve. This year, in the national tea regional public brand value selection, "Tianfu Longya" achieved excellent results of 4.321 billion yuan, and regional public brands such as "Mengdingshan Tea" and "Emeishan Tea" were among the best. In the list of 100 "Tianfu Granary" boutique (cultivated) brands released in 2023, 29 tea regional public brands, corporate brands and product brands were selected.

The new track boosts Sichuan tea "out of the circle". In April this year, Sichuan Shucha Industrial Group Co., Ltd. launched a new tea brand "Tea Tea Master" in Taikooli, Chengdu; In September, Sichuan Tea Group Co., Ltd. created a new Chinese tea shop "Chuanyan Tea Language" and opened four stores in Yibin at the same time; In November, during the Wuzhen Summit in world internet conference, the new tea "Freeze-dried Flash White Tea Coffee" under the regional public brand of "Dazhu White Tea" in Dazhu County was officially released.

Live broadcast with goods continuously enhances the influence of Sichuan tea. Sichuan Tea Industry Group Co., Ltd. relies on the advantage of "tea industry e-commerce live broadcast base" to realize the transformation of traffic and sales through high-frequency exposure of e-commerce live broadcast, accelerate the development of market-oriented branding, attract the concentration of external capital, resources and talent elements, open up the internal and external circulation of tea industry chain, and help "Sichuan tea leaves Sichuan" and brand break through.

The branch line of Baoyin high-speed railway Yinba (Yinchuan to Bayanhaote) is an important part of the Jinglan passage of China’s "eight vertical and eight horizontal" railway network, and its Helanshan tunnel is the first single-track tunnel for passenger dedicated lines with a design speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Because it passes through Helan Mountain and the Ming Great Wall, it is necessary to protect the ecological environment and ensure the safety of cultural relics during the construction of Helan Mountain Tunnel. On New Year’s Day holiday, more than 400 railway builders of China Railway 15th Bureau fought for the front line of Helanshan Tunnel construction, racing against time to seize the construction period.

2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has already begun. In 2010, Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup and became the first Middle Eastern country to host this football feast.

This is the first time that the World Cup has been held in the Gulf region, and it is also the first time that it has been played in the northern hemisphere in winter.

So what is football? What are the basic rules of football? Let’s learn about football today.

Football is a sport in which the feet are the mainstay, the ball is controlled and dominated, and two teams attack and defend each other on the same rectangular court according to certain rules.

Football is called because of its strong antagonism, changeable tactics and large number of participants.“The first movement in the world ".

The predecessor of modern football originated fromChinaThe ancient ball game "Cuju" in Zizhou, Shandong Province (now Zibo City) was spread to Europe by Arabs and gradually evolved into modern football.

Modern football originated in England. In 1848, the Cambridge Rules, the first written rule in the history of football, was born. On October 26th, 1863, England established the first football association in the world, and unified the competition rules of football.

In 1872, the first official match between football associations was held between England and Scotland. In 1900, in the Second Summer Olympic Games, football was included as an official event.

The highest organization of football is the International Football Federation, which was founded in 1904 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. The highest organization in China is the Chinese Football Association, which was established in Beijing on January 3rd, 1955.

The competition is divided into two teams, each team11 people(Generally speaking, each team is allowed to replace three substitute players during the game), and one of them must be a goalkeeper. The whole game is 90 minutes, which is divided into upper and lower halves, with each half lasting 45 minutes.

The rest time between the first half and the second halfNo more than 15 minutes.. There is a referee and two sideline referees in the game. In each half, the referee can make up time according to the injuries and time-consuming substitution on the field.

If the game must be decided, if the two teams draw within 90 minutes, overtime will be played for 15 minutes in the first half and 15 minutes in the second half. If the game is still tied, it will be passed.have a penalty kickThe winner is decided.

If the football completely crosses the sideline, it willPenalty for throwing a foul ball. After the player touches the ball out of the bottom line of his own goal, he will be awarded a corner kick.

When passing the ball forward, there must be two opposing players between the attacking player who receives the ball and the goal, otherwise it will be judged offside.

A player who fouls in his own restricted area will be awarded a penalty. If the penalty is saved by the goalkeeper or kicked on the post, the game will continue. However, in penalty shoot-out, if the football hits the doorpost and bounces back, it can’t be shot again.

A foul outside the penalty area will give the opponent a free kick. If the free kick is near the penalty area, the opposing defender can build a human wall.

Direct free kicks can be shot directly, while indirect free kicks must have a pass before shooting. When serious fouls and violations occur, the referee will show a yellow card to warn him. If the fouler gets a second yellow card warning or a malicious foul, the referee will show a red card and send him off.

The game time should be divided into two equal halves, 45 minutes for each half and 90 minutes for each game.

See here, do you know anything about football? You don’t have to worry about others getting in the way when watching the ball.

In a small town, there lived a girl named Xiaoyan. She has a pair of bright eyes, and smiles like the sunshine in spring, which makes people intoxicated. However, her fate is doomed to be extraordinary.

Xiaoyan was born in a patriarchal family and was neglected by her parents since she was a child. Her existence seems to be a burden to her family, and her dreams and hopes are ruthlessly deprived. However, she didn’t give up. She tried to change her destiny with her own hands.

Xiaoyan’s first love happened in high school. She fell in love with a boy named Xiaoming in her class. Xiao Ming is sunny and handsome, and he is the master of his class. Xiaoyan watched him silently and gave everything for him. However, when Xiao Ming knew Xiaoyan’s family background, he chose to leave. He is afraid of being dragged down by Xiaoyan’s family. What he wants is a partner who can walk side by side with him, not a poor person who needs his rescue.

Xiaoyan, who is lovelorn, understands a truth in tears: the first commonality of women is tenacity. No matter how much suffering life gives them, they can stick to it and find their own light.

Xiaoyan met a boy named Xiaogang when she was in college. Xiaogang is a warm person. He knows how to care for Xiaoyan and take care of her. They spent many wonderful times together. However, when Xiaoyan took Xiaogang home to meet her parents, she was strongly opposed by her parents. They think Xiao Gang’s family condition is not good enough for their daughter. Xiaoyan was caught in a painful choice: whether to listen to her parents or stick to her love?

At this critical moment, Xiaoyan realized that the second commonality of women is sacrifice. They are willing to give up everything for love, including family, friends and even their own lives.

Xiaoyan finally chose love. She left her hometown with Xiaogang and came to a strange city. They worked hard together and spent many difficult days together. However, fate played tricks on them again. Xiaogang was injured in an accident, resulting in disability. Faced with the burden of life, Xiaoyan did not choose to leave, but chose to tide over the difficulties with Xiaogang. She used her shoulders to support this family and Xiao Gang’s hope.

Accompanied by Xiaoyan, Xiaogang gradually stepped out of the shadows. Together, they opened a small shop and lived a quiet life. At this time, Xiaoyan understood the third commonality of women, that is, guardianship. They are willing to protect their lives for their loved ones, with no regrets.

Time flies, Xiaoyan has changed from an ignorant girl to a strong woman. With her own story, she told the world three commonalities of women: tenacity, sacrifice and guardianship. She also used her own stories to make those who look down on women understand the greatness of women.

In this world, every woman is a treasure, waiting for the discovery of a willing heart. What men need to do is to understand these three commonalities of women, cherish them and love them. Only in this way can the flower of love bloom forever.
