14 catering listed companies lost 1.383 billion yuan in the first half of the year, and the trend of the catering industry has changed!

In the first half of the year, successive epidemics in various places, restaurants or restaurants closed down, or closed down their meals, or restricted their flow, etc., caused the catering industry to suffer a huge impact.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to June 2022, the national catering revenue was 2 trillion yuan, down 7.7% year-on-year, and the catering revenue of units above designated size was 487.9 billion yuan, down 7.8% year-on-year. Focusing on catering listed companies, the performance is even more bleak.

Fourteen companies lost 1.383 billion yuan, and only three made profits.

According to statistics of Yingshang. com, in the first half of 2022, the revenue of 14 listed catering enterprises was 27.7 billion yuan, down 14.7% year-on-year, and the total net profit was 1.383 billion yuan, compared with a profit of 300 million yuan in the same period last year. (Unit: RMB, the exchange rate for converting Hong Kong dollars into RMB is July 1, 2022: HK$ 1 =0.8554 Yuan)

In terms of revenue, only two of the 14 enterprises saw revenue growth, of which Guangzhou Restaurant (603043) increased by 15.54%, Helens Company increased by 0.64%, and the remaining 12 enterprises all declined.

In terms of net profit, only three companies made profits, including 99.9 yuan, 58 million yuan for Guangzhou Restaurant, 21 million yuan for Tongqing Building, and all the other 11 companies lost money, including 5 companies (Haidilao (required area: 900-1,200 square meters), Xiabu Xiabu, Quanjude (002186), Ajisen China and Helen).

Whether it is a sharp drop in revenue or net profit, there is no doubt that the epidemic is the "culprit". In the first half of the year, the epidemic broke out repeatedly all over the country, especially in the first-and second-tier commercial active cities, and many places banned or restricted dining, which caused the catering industry to suffer heavy losses. With the unsealing of Shanghai and the easing of epidemic situation in other cities, the national catering industry gradually recovered its popularity in May and June.

The bleak performance is the influence of "force majeure" under the epidemic prevention and control. If we put aside the performance, the tenacity and innovation of catering enterprises should be seen. They are leading the industry’s transformation. Here, through the semi-annual report of 14 enterprises in 2022, we have insight into the new trend of the catering industry.

Adhere to multi-brand strategy: new brands become the biggest "potential stocks"

Jiumaojiu is one of the few catering enterprises to maintain profitability. Its revenue dropped by 6.1% to 1.899 billion yuan, and its net profit dropped by 69.98% to 57.7 million yuan. Under the multi-brand strategy, the brands of Jiumaojiu have different performances. The scale of the main brand Jiumaojiu Store is shrinking, and the growth of Taier is tired, and the performance of new brands is outstanding. At the same time, in order to optimize the brand combination, two egg pancake brands were sold.

Affected by the epidemic, the revenue contribution of Jiumaojiu Restaurant and Taier Restaurant decreased by 17.9% and 7.4% respectively in the first half of the year. There are only 77 main brand Jiumaojiu restaurant stores, 14 fewer than the same period last year; The growth of Taier brand is full of fatigue, and the turnover rate in the first half of the year decreased from 3.7 times a day in the same period last year to 2.9 times.

It is worth noting that the new brand "Chongqing Hot Pot Factory" launched in 2019 has the most outstanding performance. In the first half of this year, its revenue increased by nearly 4.7 times year-on-year, from 17.5 million yuan in the same period in 2021 to 81.6 million yuan. Mainly in the past year, the brand added 8 stores (2 in the first half of the year); The turnover rate has also increased from 2.2 in the same period last year to 2.4 in the same period in 2022.

Jiumaojiu said that it will continue to follow the multi-brand and multi-concept strategy and continue to expand into more market segments. Enhance the brand image of the brand with high operating profit; Continue to develop Chongqing Hot Pot Factory and Lai Meili brand with great growth potential. With the help of multi-brands, we will further expand into more market segments and increase market share.

The revenue of the flagship brand "Taixing" was about HK$ 513.1 million, down 30.12% year-on-year, accounting for 42.1% of the Group’s total revenue, and it continued to be the largest revenue source of the Group. The brand income of Minhua Ice Hall was about HK$ 324.8 million, down 5.86% year-on-year; It is still the second largest source of income, accounting for 26.7% of the group’s total income; The revenue of the tea and wood brand targeting the youth market reached about HK$ 116.6 million, down 34.75% year-on-year. During the period, the brand image was reshaped, and two brand-new concept stores were officially unveiled in June.

The brand of Asian ginseng chicken rice is one of the new driving forces for Taixing’s growth (310328), with a revenue of about HK$ 79.2 million, a sharp increase of 38.0% year-on-year.

Taixing Group clearly stated that "diversified business strategy" is the key to the group’s future development. In the second half of the year, it will open a brand restaurant of Xingji Seafood Hotel recommended by Mi Zhilian in Central. In the future, under the two-pronged approach of "new brand+core brand", the brand of Taixing Group will be more diversified.

Large-scale store adjustment: the "hot pot duo" closed and opened stores, accelerating the international layout.

Haidilao’s revenue in the first half of the year was 16.764 billion yuan, down 16.6% year-on-year, with a net loss of 267 million yuan, compared with a profit of 97 million yuan in the same period last year. In the past year, there were 291 closed stores and 129 newly opened stores, with a net decrease of 162 stores.

At present, the stores that are considering the possibility of reopening are some closed stores under the "Woodpecker Plan", and gradually select "Hard Bone" stores that meet the conditions for reopening.

At the same time, Haidilao started to list its overseas business, and planned to separate Tehai shares for independent listing, and submitted a listing application to the Stock Exchange on July 13, 2022.

The income in the first half of the year was 2,156.4 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 29.2%; The loss increased from 46.9 million yuan in the first half of 2021 to 278.2 million yuan. In the first half of the year, 37 Xiabu Xiabu restaurants closed, and 6 restaurants opened.

Gather together the number and distribution of restaurants

According to the Xiabu Group, with the improvement of the epidemic situation, the expansion plan will be accelerated in the second half of this year, and about 100 new stores are planned.

The establishment of the second headquarters of Xiabu Xiabu Group in Minhang District, Shanghai will accelerate the strategic plan of "expanding its business to East China and South China". By expanding its business to coastal cities and first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou in the Yangtze River Delta region and Greater Bay Area, it will lay out new first-tier cities and finally enter the northwest and southwest regions. At the same time, accelerate the international transformation, and the next step will be to March into Singapore, Malaysia and other places.

In addition, the first store of "Shaoshao", a new brand of "Roasted Meat+Wine+Tea", will be unveiled in Shanghai in late September.

Cross-border: Helen Company changed from "meal+wine" to "food stall+pub"

The revenue of Helen Company, the first share of tavern, in the first half of 2022 was 874 million yuan, up 0.6% year-on-year. The net loss was 304 million yuan, and the adjusted net loss was 99.9 million yuan; In the first half of the year, 133 pubs were opened and 69 pubs were closed, and the number of pubs reached 846 by the end of the period. The loss caused by the optimization and adjustment of pubs is as high as 100 million yuan.

According to another observation, in the semi-annual report of Helen Company, stores in second-and third-tier cities are expanding rapidly, and the sinking trend is quite obvious. It is worth noting that during July and August, Helens closed its stores on a large scale. In less than two months, 25 stores were closed, and the stores contracted for the first time. Whether this means that Helens has entered a new round of store adjustment is still unknown.

Between closing and opening stores, expansion is still the main theme of Helens. Helen said that in the future, while increasing the layout of a broader sinking market, we will reconstruct the development model and transform from a linear chain model to a platform company.

In the first half of the year, Helens opened a new model store of "food stall+bistro" in a low-key way. In May, it opened the first "Helens Yue" store in Lichuan City, Enshi, Hubei Province, where the elements of barbecue food stalls were introduced, and barbecue and crayfish dishes were added. The market response was good. Helen revealed that next, 20 small counties will be selected in Central China to carry out large-scale verification of "pub+food stall".

Time-honored brand: Force food, March into prefabricated food market

The performance of time-honored brands in the first half of the year was relatively stable. Among the only three profitable enterprises, time-honored brands accounted for two. In addition to the innovation of catering stores, time-honored brands have also become a strong support for food, prefabricated dishes and other businesses.

Guangzhou Restaurant has achieved double growth in revenue and net profit by virtue of the coordinated development strategy of "food+catering", and it is also the only company with double growth among catering listed companies.

In the first half of the year, the company’s revenue was 1.424 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.54%; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 54 million yuan, up 45.33% year-on-year.

In terms of food sales, a system has been established, including dealer channels, e-commerce channels, offline chain stores, community operation channels and supermarkets.

Guangzhou Restaurant Series Precast Vegetable Products

Tongqing Building, the "first banquet", regards food business, catering business and hotel business as three independent businesses, which are operated by a special team. In the first half of the year, food sales revenue was 37.975 million yuan, an increase of 31.65 million yuan over the same period last year. In the case of other business sectors going down, the food business can be described as unique.

In the first half of the year, food sales channels were newly established in 38 supermarkets such as Su Guo and RT Mart in Nanjing, and sub-warehouses have been established in Nanjing. It is expected that the number of supermarkets will reach 100 by the end of this year.

Tongqinglou has also entered the hot prefabricated vegetable market, with products ranging from breakfast pasta to self-heated rice and famous dishes by famous chefs, and focused on the packaging design of "chef dishes of Tongqinglou", and developed new products such as meatball series, sauerkraut series, braise in soy sauce series, fish series and shrimp series. Pasta products have been iterated into 13 SKUs.

The operating income of Xi ‘an catering industry in the first half of the year was 236 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 7.29%, of which the income of catering service industry dropped by 20.17%, while the food manufacturing industry increased by 53.88%. The food products of Xi ‘an Diet (000721) are mainly divided into six series, such as pastry baking, meat products, quick-frozen foods, convenience foods, semi-finished products and beverage brewing. During the period, through cultural excavation, pedigree innovation and cultural tourism integration, the industrial chain of the food industry was continuously extended, the product quality was improved, and at the same time, an online and offline dual-channel simultaneous expansion sales system was created.

Quanjude is also accelerating its entry into the prefabricated vegetable market. Make use of the advantages of its catering brands to create pre-cooked food products with different positioning. Quanjude brand is positioned as "refined roast duck products", Fengzeyuan brand is positioned as "cooked food products close to people’s livelihood" and Chuanlaoda brand is positioned as "classic Sichuan cuisine, mass consumption". At present, 30 categories of pre-made dishes and pre-packaged cooked food have gone to the market through online and offline.

"Live+takeaway", community operation, digital operation … become the consensus of catering enterprises.

In recent years, the epidemic has forced catering to accelerate online channel operation and take-away business, and the results have been very good. The general trend of big data further accelerates the intelligent operation and membership operation of catering enterprises.

From January to June this year, Quanjude achieved an 85% year-on-year increase in online take-out turnover. On the basis of organizing online marketing activities such as holidays and 24 solar terms, we launched brand joint marketing with Anmuxi during the Dragon Boat Festival, reaching 2.2 million users, and the turnover during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday increased by 168% year-on-year.

In the first half of the year, the take-away business income reached 476 million yuan, an increase of 37.6% year-on-year.

China of Tanggong actively responded to the impact of the epidemic on offline stores by implementing WeChat community marketing, community group buying and live pre-sale promotion. In terms of online operation, since its launch in the second half of 2021, the number of electronic members has exceeded 780,000. Last year, it also successfully developed the business model of live broadcast of its own applet. Next, we will continue to expand online business, continue to optimize product structure, channels and marketing models, and increase the share of food trade.

In addition, catering enterprises continue to improve their product mix, supply chain, central kitchen, service experience and management ability, and take many measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Putin spoke highly of the Russian victory, which means a new war is imminent?

BEIJING, Feb. 19 (Reporter Meng Xiangjun, Zhang Aolin) On February 17, local time, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Russian army had completely controlled Avdeev Ka, an important town in Donetsk region, and greatly pushed the Russian front line westward. According to international public opinion, the occupation of Avdeev Card by Russian troops is as important as the Battle of Bakhmut in May 2023.

It will be two years since the Ukrainian crisis broke out, and the Ukrainian counterattack has been frustrated repeatedly. Now that the control of Avdeev Card has changed hands, does a series of changes mark the turning point of the situation in Russia and Ukraine? Putin congratulated the Russian army on its "great victory". What kind of signal did he release? Next, what other key battles are worthy of attention on the Russian-Ukrainian front?

In this regard, Zhongxin.com invited Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the China Academy of Social Sciences, to conduct an in-depth interpretation.

Another "strong fortress" was breached.

Earlier news from the Russian Defense Ministry said that in the past few weeks, the Russian army continued to advance toward Avdeev Card. Although the Ukrainian army tried to hold on, it "fled" under the threat that the Russian army would cut off supplies and retreat, and it was 24 hours after the "flight" that the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army issued the withdrawal order.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, since 2014, the Ukrainian army has been consolidating the strategic position of Avdeev Card, and has invested a lot of resources and energy in the local area, turning this population center into a "strong fortress".

Through this campaign, the Russian army controlled about 32 square kilometers of land, and pushed forward the front of the troops greatly, keeping the fire line away from the local central city-Donetsk, thus ensuring that it was free from Ukrainian attacks.

Zhang Hong said that before, Avdeev Card was an important military fortress built by Ukrainian troops for a long time among the few areas still controlled by Ukrainian troops in Donetsk. "It is like a’ wedge’ inserted into Donetsk, the capital of Donetsk, which is of vital military significance to the surrounding area and the whole Donbass region."

Data map: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin spoke highly of it, which is meaningful.

Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the Russian army on its success after hearing the report on its control of Avdeev Card, and commented that "this is an important victory".

What kind of signal did Putin’s statement release? Zhang Hong pointed out that this victory has, to a certain extent, eased the multiple pressures on Russia:

The first is the safety pressure.

First of all, the battle between Russia and Ukraine in Avdeev Ka, an important town in Donetsk region, lasted for one year and nine months. It was a breakthrough and a major military victory for the Russian army to seize this region after paying a great price of casualties.

Zhang Hong pointed out that Avdeev Card is only about 10 kilometers away from Donetsk, the capital of Donetsk. Earlier, the Ukrainian army’s shelling of the city of Donetsk caused security pressure on Russia. The Russian victory means that the security environment in the Russian-controlled area of Donetsk will be greatly improved.

The second is political pressure.

Zhang Hong believes that if the normal life of the people in the Russian-controlled area of Donetsk cannot be guaranteed, it will undoubtedly cause a kind of political pressure on Russia. When Russian troops captured the Avdeev card area, Putin’s congratulations were on the one hand military, and on the other hand showed the political will to control the relevant areas for a long time.

He further pointed out that, especially in March 2024, the four Russian-controlled states of Wudong are expected to vote in the Russian presidential election, and voting after the Russian army takes control of Avdeev card will help to strengthen Russian social support for Putin in the general election, add a heavy stroke to enhancing Putin’s political prestige, and also contribute to the morale and unity of the Russian army.

Therefore, congratulations to the Russian army on this victory convey Putin’s firm political stance and determination to carry out special military operations in Ukraine.

Data map: Ukrainian soldiers fired with howitzers. 

Russia "promotes peace through war" and puts pressure on Ukraine and the West.

Zhang Hong believes that the victory of the Russian army has multiple meanings.

Specifically, first, from June 2023, when the Ukrainian army began its "big counterattack", it tried to continuously create security pressure on the Russian-controlled areas. If the Russian army captured the Donetsk region, it would mean that on the Ukrainian front, the Russian army’s battlefield initiative was more flexible and expanded.

Second, the end of the battle in Avdeev actually means that Russia is transforming its military initiative into its diplomatic initiative.

Zhang Hong pointed out that the West and Ukraine have always refused to negotiate with Russia and have no dialogue with Putin. Therefore, Russia has kept moving forward through small military breakthroughs, and regards military advancement as one of the important means of exerting pressure on the West, raising the pressure on the West and Ukraine and "promoting peace through war."

He believes that the victory of Russian troops in Avdeev Card is, to some extent, an important symbol of the escalation of the diplomatic game between Russia and the West.

Third, Zhang Hong analyzed that the Avdeev card itself may not necessarily change the stability of the Russian-Ukrainian defense line in Donbass, but it just exposes the weakness of the West in aiding Ukraine.

Zhang Hong noted that recently, American and Western aid to Ukraine has a tendency to slow down and shrink in scale. In this regard, he pointed out that fighting not only tests manpower, but also tests the strength of equipment and logistics. In fact, the lack of military assistance is one of the most important reasons why the Ukrainian army lost in Avdeev.

Data Map: Ukrainian President Zelensky.

The withdrawal of the Ukrainian army will trigger a new war?

Although Sergey called the withdrawal "to avoid being besieged and protect the lives and health of soldiers" and Uzbek President Zelensky also said that "the decision to withdraw troops was correct", Sputnik quoted a senior Pentagon official as saying that the situation in Avdeev card may be a "precursor of new failure" for Ukrainian troops.

The official also said, "We see that Ukrainians are running out of key materials, especially ammunition. If additional funds are not available, in many locations on the front line, the (Ukrainian) troops will also run out of materials. "

Since February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian crisis has been about two years old. Does the defeat of the Ukrainian army at this important node mean that the turning point of the situation is coming soon?

In this regard, Zhang Hong pointed out that Russia and Ukraine are now deadlocked on the battlefield and in political dialogue, and there is no process of quantitative change to qualitative change. It is still inconclusive how this crisis will end. However, the possibility of Ukraine continuing to counterattack militarily is actually getting smaller and smaller.

He also pointed out several trends worthy of attention:

First, Donbass is the main direction of Russian attack now. From Malinka to Avdeev, the next important place for confrontation between Russian and Ukrainian armies may be Bakhmut.

Russia may have to completely remove a series of Ukrainian positions around Donetsk, thus achieving security control over the entire Donbass region.

Second, Belgorod State in southern Russia continues to be attacked and shelled by Ukrainian rockets, and Russia should take measures to strengthen its response.

Zhang Hong noted that Putin had proposed the establishment of a "demilitarized zone" in Uzbekistan in early 2024. Public opinion believes that this means that a certain range of areas will be demarcated in Uzbekistan, and demilitarization will be implemented to ease the current tension.

At the same time, he analyzed that it is not ruled out that in the future, the Russian army will consume and destroy Uzbekistan’s national defense industrial capability and combat capability by increasing the crackdown on some important military bases and key infrastructure of the Ukrainian army, so as to force the Ukrainian army to reduce its military harassment in southern Russia.

Paying attention to it is just like paying attention to food and cosmetics.

  On April 10, 2018, in Mumbai, India, a charity advocating menstrual hygiene helped disadvantaged women in slums get cheap sanitary napkins. At that time, Prince Harry and Princess Wang of England appealed to those who celebrated their wedding to donate money to the charity instead of wedding gifts. Photo courtesy of vision china

  In civilized society, the discussion about sanitary napkins has long been a taboo topic. On the shelves of sanitary products in supermarkets, colorful packaged sanitary napkins can make people see things in a blur. In TV commercials, girls who suddenly jump out and wear miniskirts will also make your eyes shine. They are cheerful, lively, and jumping without restraint, trying to publicize the concepts of "comfort", "beauty" and "closeness".

  Once consumers carefully look at the packaging and try to understand what constitutes the health products that care for women’s sensitive parts, it will not be clear at a glance. The same is true in the United States, because sanitary napkins are medical devices and are not required to list a complete list of ingredients on the product label.

  On October 11th, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill requiring manufacturers of menstrual hygiene products to list all the ingredients on the labels, which is the first in the United States. The bill will take effect in 180 days. The products involved include tampons, sanitary napkins, menstrual cups and menstrual underwear.

  In the opinion of supporters, this is not only to protect consumers’ right to know, but also to encourage women to participate more actively in the discussion of their health. On the Weibo, a girl from China commented: "In this year, you have to look through the ingredient list when choosing cat food for cats, not to mention personal sanitary napkins."

  Paying attention to it is like paying attention to food.

  At the beginning of May 2017, Grace Meng, a representative of the Democratic Party of new york, proposed the "Right to Know about Menstrual Products", requiring that menstrual hygiene products (including tampons, sanitary napkins and menstrual cups) should list their ingredients on the packaging.

  Prior to this, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) managed menstrual hygiene products as medical devices, which also included dental floss and condoms. The FDA advises manufacturers to provide general information about the ingredients of the product materials on the label, such as whether the product is made of cotton or rayon, but it is not necessary to indicate the individual ingredients.

  It was not until some women who participated in politics found that almost all products on the market, including food and cosmetics, needed to list their ingredients. However, menstrual hygiene products that come into contact with sensitive parts of women’s bodies have never been done.

  "Previously, it was entirely voluntary to disclose the ingredients of sanitary napkins or tampons." Salada Tan Ji Lala, manager of the women’s environmental protection organization Voice of Women on Earth, told the media.

  In 2018, in order to support the passage of this bill, they sent six top American brand tampon products to an independent laboratory for chemical testing. Later, it was found that it was not chemicals that were frightening, but because of lack of attention, people did not have enough research to determine whether these chemicals were dangerous after repeated contact.

  There are two main components that worry them. One is additives such as perfume and gel, including those used to enhance absorption or provide adhesion for pads. Another kind may be pollutants containing toxins. For example, raw cotton may contain persistent pesticide residues, and cotton and rayon may leave toxic dioxins after bleaching with chlorine bleach.

  Generally speaking, women’s fertility can last for 35 years. If a woman comes to menstruation for five days every month, it is equivalent to spending seven years in her life during menstruation.

  According to the Report on Market Competition Pattern and Investment Risk Forecast of Sanitary napkins in China from 2019 to 2025 released by Zhiyan Consulting, in 2017, the consumption of sanitary napkins (including pads) in China increased to 120.01 billion pieces. The market scale expanded to 52.746 billion yuan.

  Joseph Merkla, an American surgeon, told the media that because feminine hygiene products are in close contact with sensitive parts for a long time, it can be compared to a "time bomb". "For women who account for about one-third of the population, this is a crucial topic that is rarely discussed."

  For a long time, only some sanitary towel manufacturers in the United States will disclose the detailed ingredients of sanitary products on their own websites. Because of the lack of standardized testing methods and information disclosure channels, questions about the safety of sanitary napkins have occurred from time to time all over the world. In 2017, at the "March 15th Party" in China, Consumer Report exposed several major sanitary towel brands such as Susan, Sophie, ABC and Anerle, and all of them detected the migratory fluorescent whitening agent, with the content ranging from 54.9 mg/kg to 386 mg/kg.

  In 2018, China issued four national standards for household paper products, including "toilet paper (including toilet paper base)", formulated new revised standards for "sanitary napkins (pads)", added two safety indicators of formaldehyde content and migratory fluorescent substances, used absorption speed instead of infiltration index, added absorption speed measurement method, and adjusted peeling strength measurement method of back adhesive.

  Sanitary napkins may cause discomfort to its users. Angela, an American woman, had been very uncomfortable during her menstrual period for more than two years. She saw many gynecologists and received treatment for vaginal infection. By chance, she changed another brand of sanitary napkins and found that the discomfort disappeared.

  Earlier this year, a 16-year-old Canadian girl died of toxic shock syndrome. The autopsy report found that the tampon in the girl had Staphylococcus aureus.

  According to Liang Haiyan, a gynecologist in China-Japan Friendship Hospital, "Sanitary napkins with poor air permeability will also increase the risk of infection of some diseases. This kind of injury is not necessarily immediate and can be realized immediately. It may be a long-term toxic side effect and may cause some lesions. " But there is no very accurate statistical data at present.

  "As a woman who uses these products every month, I want to know what ingredients are in what I put in my body, just like paying attention to food and other sanitary products." Angela said.

  Sinnard, a citizen of New York, said: "If we are forced to get infected and are too sick to work, we will lose the security of life. Unless these ingredients are disclosed and fairly studied, we cannot know the impact of sanitary napkins on our bodies. "

  Linda Rosenthal, another sponsor of the bill, pointed out in a statement that there are "undisclosed volatile compounds, including known reproductive toxins, such as carbon disulfide and dichloromethane" in menstrual hygiene products. She said that manufacturers will also change the composition of sliver fibers and change the ratio of cotton to synthetic materials such as rayon according to the price of cotton, which consumers do not know.

  Laura Strowsfield, co-founder of the American non-profit organization Menstrual Fair, said that because women can’t accurately understand the ingredients in contact products, it will have a potential impact on their health.

  The new bill of New York State will take effect in April 2020, and manufacturers must complete the transition before April 2021. Violators will be fined 1% of the manufacturer’s total sales in the state, and each unqualified package will be fined up to $1,000.

  We can’t talk freely about our bodies.

  On October 12, local time, Rosenthal wrote excitedly on Twitter: "Today, my bill has been signed into law, making New York the first state in the United States to require the disclosure of the ingredients on the packaging of menstrual hygiene products. We have the right to know the ingredients in tampons and pads. I am very happy to lead new york City to realize the real ‘ Menstrual equality ’ 。”

  This is a sport that lasts for many years. In the past few years, many people have been insisting on correcting the name of this special period of women, believing that women have the right to equal access to health products and reproductive health education. They called for an end to the sales tax on health products in some states, and promoted the provision of free female products in schools and homeless shelters.

  Menstruation is a phenomenon of periodic vaginal bleeding or uterine bleeding in women. Every other month or so, the endometrium undergoes autonomous thickening, vascular proliferation, gland growth and secretion, endometrial collapse and shedding with periodic changes of bleeding.

  This physical phenomenon, which exists because human beings carry on their offspring, has long been regarded as the physical shame of women. In ancient Greece, writers at that time believed that menstrual blood had no nutrition at all and must be excreted from the body to maintain balance and health. In the mid-19th century, menstruation was considered as "dirty and shameful blood".

  There are many nicknames for menstruation, such as "big aunt" and "m". In France, some people even call menstruation "the British are coming" because they have fought against the British in red uniforms. In Rosenthal’s view, these various and even ridiculous names imply social and cultural misunderstanding and discrimination.

  During the 2015 presidential election, Donald Trump, the then Republican candidate, was thought to imply that Megan Kelly, the host of the Republican presidential primary debate, had menstrual cramps because she tweeted, "You can see blood coming out of her eyes and out of her body."

  In April 2015, Kieran Gandhi, a 26-year-old British girl, had her period the day before running the London Marathon. She thought it was ridiculous to run 26.2 miles with a cotton cloth between her legs. For comfort, she decided not to use tampons. During the running, her orange pants were stained with dark blood, and someone ran from behind her and said to her in a low voice, "Go find a damn tampon." Her maverick has caused a hot discussion on the Internet. Some people cheered for this Indian girl who graduated from Harvard, while others accused her of being "disgusting" and "unhygienic".

  In this regard, she said frankly: "In this discussion, people’s taboos and shame on the topic of menstruation far exceeded my imagination. As far as I can see, the reason why we women can’t make the best decision for ourselves is because we can’t talk about our bodies freely and easily. "

  Since the invention of modern sanitary napkins, there are only three ways to handle menstrual blood conveniently, namely sanitary napkins, tampons and menstrual cups. In her view, this is "because no one wants to talk about it, people have slowed down on the road of finding how to deal with this matter better."

  In 1921, before the first package of disposable menstrual products entered the pharmacy counter, women handled menstruation in a variety of ways. They use sponges, rags, cotton and other water-absorbing materials to make "menstrual belts". These handmade products are usually bulky and conspicuous, and must be cleaned and dried frequently, which can also cause infection.

  With the development of society, disposable sanitary napkins are gradually popularized. But even when they enter the store counter, women’s purchases are silent. They will quietly take down the items and give them to the pharmacy counter, packing them in a box with almost no marks.

  In the past half century, the size of sanitary napkins has become smaller and smaller, the packaging has become more portable, and the discussion about it has become more and more open. But many details still reveal a bit embarrassing. In TV advertisements about sanitary napkins, advertising companies still use blue liquid instead of blood to show water absorption, which is considered by many people to affect teenagers’ correct understanding of human physiological phenomena.

  Sean Patrick maloney, a representative of the Democratic Party of new york, tweeted: "My office bought tampons for female visitors and employees. Then, we received an e-mail from the internal affairs management Committee, telling us that we could not use the funds to buy necessary sanitary products. This is ridiculous. "

  In a private school in Pennsylvania, Vienna Vernos, a senior girl, heard that a boy made a helpless voice when his tampon fell from his backpack. She discussed this issue with her classmates at the seminar on women’s history, and decided to launch the campaign of "Equality of Menstrual Products" and put bowls filled with tampons in public places in schools.

  On the sign beside the bowl, she wrote: "These are for anyone who needs them. Never be ashamed of what your body needs. "

  "hey! Is this safe? "

  For many women, the high price of sanitary napkins has become a problem that affects living expenses. Women often pay a higher amount for products of a specific gender. This unequal consumption is called "pink tax".

  Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, co-founder of Menstrual Fairness, said: "The tampon tax is based on gender discrimination." Abolishing tax is the first step to realize women’s so-called "menstrual equality", which helps people to obtain safe and affordable menstrual hygiene products.

  The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) once launched a "menstrual expense calculator". Suppose a 55-year-old woman started menstruating at the age of 12. Then she will spend about 1604 pounds on sanitary products in her life, of which the total value-added tax will reach 165 pounds.

  It may not sound difficult to buy a box of sanitary napkins a month, but because of the disparity between the rich and the poor, some women from Africa, Asia to Europe and America are facing the problem of "menstrual poverty".

  The film "Indian Partner" released in China at the end of last year tells the story of Indian grassroots entrepreneur Arunachalam. Because of the high tariffs on imported sanitary napkins, in 2012, more than 80% of women in India were unable to use sanitary products during the physiological period. With a junior high school education, he independently searched for a low-cost production method of sanitary napkins for his wife’s health.

  According to the statistics of online platform "Menstrual Hygiene Day", in Indian cities, 43%-48% girls will use reusable cloth as sanitary napkins, but most of these cloths are not washed with clean water and soap, thus affecting reproductive health.

  In rural areas, many women even use unsanitary materials such as old rags, chaff, dried leaves, grass, charcoal ash, sand and newspapers to absorb their menstrual blood because they can’t afford safe and hygienic physiological supplies.

  In many parts of Africa, poor women drop out of school because of menstruation, can’t work, and even have to sell their bodies to get money to buy sanitary napkins.

  This is a serious problem even in developed countries. According to a report in the Mirror, more than 137,000 girls in Britain "drop out of school because they can’t afford sanitary products" every year. Last year, the average time for female students to be absent from school was five days.

  At the beginning of 2016, Ms. Meng noticed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not allow homeless assistance funds to be used for feminine hygiene products, even though these products covered soap, sanitary napkins, toothpaste and underwear. She turned to the then Secretary of Homeland Security for help. The other party affirmed her proposal and told her that these items would be added to the list of allowed purchases.

  Between 2016 and 2018, Nevada, New York, Florida, Connecticut and Illinois in the United States abolished the sanitary towel tax, and many other States are also proposing relevant bills. Worldwide, Canada, India, Malaysia and Australia have abolished this tax, but the EU has not yet passed the relevant regulations. Once the Brexit negotiations reach an agreement, Britain is also expected to cancel the "sanitary towel tax".

  During 20 years’ medical experience, Liang Haiyan found that many women were under physical and even psychological pressure because they didn’t know their bodies well enough. Every "Women’s Day", she will always be invited to give a lecture. After a 40-minute class, there will be countless questions waiting for her, most of which belong to basic common sense. Because some social and cultural factors make it difficult for them to talk at ordinary times, I really have the opportunity to ask a doctor, and everyone can’t wait to have questions.

  Christina Baubert, president of the menstrual cycle research society and professor of women’s gender and sexuality studies at Boston University, believes that "because women are ashamed of menstruation, they only want to clean it in the most effective way, and usually don’t study the impact of ingredients, quality or materials on the environment". This also provides convenience for companies that are unwilling to disclose ingredients.

  "Information is power. Labels can encourage people to know more about quality and safety and have higher requirements. " She believes that when the law comes into effect, when people pick up these colorful packages again in grocery stores or pharmacies, they can see the ingredients at a glance and think, "Hey! What is this? Is this safe? "

National Park | Wild Elves in Northeast Tiger and Leopard Paradise

A complete food chain consisting of large to medium-sized mammals, which is extremely rare in China, is born in the experimental area of Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park. The flagship species, Northeast Tiger and Leopard, is undoubtedly the king who occupies the top of the ecosystem food chain.

At present, the primitive natural forests in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere are very limited, only distributed in three areas: northeast North America, eastern Europe and northeast Asia. Among them, the temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in northeast Asia has the highest biodiversity, which has become a refuge for a large number of species and is a rare "species gene bank" and "natural museum" in the world.

The experimental area of Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park system is located in the center of Asian temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest ecosystem, and the most complete and typical wildlife population in Northeast temperate forest is preserved in this area. At present, a complete food chain consisting of large to small mammals, which is extremely rare in China, is born in the pilot area. Carnivorous fauna includes large Siberian tigers, leopard, brown bears and black bears, medium-sized lynx, green ferret and Eurasian otter, and small leopard cats, sable, Yellow weasel and mink. Herbivorous fauna includes large red deer, sika deer, medium-sized wild boar, Siberian roe deer, musk deer, impala and so on.

The vast forest sea in the pilot area has also become a paradise for birds to survive and reproduce. Every spring, all kinds of forest-dwelling birds such as flounder, thrush and stork begin to return from the south to prepare for the breeding that year. The Tumen River Estuary Wetland, which is located next to the pilot area, is listed as a key bird area in Asia, and the spectacular migration army of geese and ducks stops here every year to replenish energy.

The fertile forest environment in the experimental area of Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park also provides a good living environment for reptiles such as brown-black snake, red-spotted snake, white-striped snake, tiger-spotted snake, East Asian abdominal chain snake, Ussuri Agkistrodon, and black-browed snake.

The pilot area is close to the Sea of Japan. Under the influence of marine climate, the environment here is humid and the water system is developed. Suifenhe, a famous transnational river, originated in the experimental area of Tiger and Leopard National Park in Northeast China, and important tributaries of Tumen River, such as Hunchun River, cross the experimental area. Abundant water sources provide a good survival foundation for amphibians such as China Rana chensinensis, Oriental bell toad, rough-skinned frog, flower-backed toad and giant salamander in the extreme north, and at the same time, it also nurtures rich fish resources, such as salmon, Yarrow fish and Ochoa fish. It is worth mentioning that a small and medium-sized cold-water rare fish-spotted salmon, which grows here, is one of the five most famous salmon species in the world, and only lives in areas with dense forests and fast and clear water flow on the upper reaches of Tumen River, Suifenhe River and Yalu River.

In recent years, the better ecological environment and the more effective protection measures in the experimental area of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park have made wild Siberian tigers and leopards appear frequently, and the "news" that they appeared sporadically in the past is slowly changing into "daily". According to the latest data, the number of wild Siberian tigers and leopards has increased from 27 and 42 at the beginning of the pilot project to about 40 and 50 respectively, and more than 12 cubs and 11 leopards have been newly discovered. There are about 27 orders, 78 families and 355 species of terrestrial wild vertebrates in the region, including 10 species of national first-class protected wild animals. Chinese merganser, sable, musk deer, roe deer, impala … these animals, which were once rare or even extinct for many years, frequently appeared in groups, and from crossing the road to settling down, they used their footprints, whistling and beautiful photos to "like" the ecological construction of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park system pilot.

Latest! Biden delivered a speech in response to the reasons for withdrawing from the election.

According to comprehensive reports, on July 24th, local time, US President Biden delivered his first speech after his re-election campaign.

According to CNN,Biden defined the 2024 general election as a choice "between forward and backward, hope and hatred" and regarded his decision as a democratic issue.

Biden said,The United States is at a "turning point". "This is one of the rare moments in history. The decision we make now will determine the fate of the country. We must choose between advancing or retreating, hope or hatred, unity or division. "

Biden also said, "In the next six months, I will concentrate on fulfilling the duties of the president."

In addition, he also listed some diplomatic and domestic political initiatives during his tenure, and once again expressed his support for Harris’ election for the US president.

Jietu X95 knows China better, with good configuration and ecological circle, and the European station wagon accelerates its escape.

In recent years, China’s economic transformation, the real economy is facing great transformation pressure, but the tourism market has developed rapidly. According to statistics, in 2017, China’s domestic tourism consumption reached 840.9 billion US dollars, which has risen from the fourth place in 2008 to the first place, surpassing the US’s 820.8 billion US dollars, and has become the largest domestic tourism market in the world.

In recent years, more and more people have money and leisure, whether young white-collar workers or retired old people, or farmers who have begun to pursue the quality of life, whether from the perspective of consumption power or the number of consumers, or from the perspective of newly opened tourist attractions and new tourist facilities in various places, China’s tourism industry is facing great development prospects.

Tourism means travel, of course, it is inseparable from transportation. With the widespread popularity of private cars and the daily demand for travel, the concept of tourism is being ignited among the people, and it seems that it will become the next emerging blue ocean market after domestic peace.

The direct reason should be that following the announcement of the launch of a compact model, a model named was soon launched, but after harvesting the feelings of a wave of young fashion people, the market sales quickly fell into a downturn, and now it is basically close to the edge of production suspension.

For joint venture car companies that have advantages in brand and technology, this lesson should be profound. It is no longer feasible to try to seize the local market in China by directly importing foreign concepts and mature products from multinational car companies.

And those BBA’s are probably just the minority feelings of some urban youth.

China’s huge local travel market has its own rules, of course. The basic national conditions of China, the usage scenarios and habits of travel users determine the demand of China people. With the rise of great powers, cultural self-confidence has been established, and the standards of this market must be defined by China travel enthusiasts themselves.

In the past two years, with the further maturity of the China market, Chinese people no longer blindly follow the trend. Users who need more long-distance use tend to take a fancy to the large space and passability advantages, and then take the initiative to choose.

Compared with the small territory of European countries, China is more vast, and the climate, topography and road conditions are more complicated, which determines that the travel users in China need cars with more functions, better adaptability and better comfort. Wagon models developed on the basis of European hatchback cars have relatively insufficient internal space for the travel needs of large families in China. Moreover, European cars are generally hard, which has not been significantly improved in the domestic market. For long-distance driving, the comfort will inevitably not be guaranteed.

If you don’t get enough relaxation and rest during the trip, it will be difficult to complete all the punching of a travel plan.

Therefore, a car that is more close to the people and understands the needs of China people is the model of the China market.

Jietu brand, which focuses on the "Travel+"market segment, has taken a fancy to its development opportunities and space. After 15 months of listing, its sales volume has exceeded 158,000, and its Jietu series has become a "dark horse" in the auto market, rising against the market in the cold winter, consolidating the leading position in the "Travel+"market segment. On November 28th, Jietu X95, a brand-new subsidiary of Jietu, was officially listed. The new car is medium-sized, with a total of 6 models and 5/6/7 seats available. It is equipped with 1.5T and 1.6T models, and the official guide price is 99,900-150,900 yuan. It is highly competitive in the market with almost no strong competitors, and is expected to become another explosion of the Jetway series. Behind the phenomenal success of Jietu, Li Xueyong, general manager of JETOUR Jietu Marketing Center, attributed it to the focus and intensive cultivation of the "Travel+"market segment. According to the plan, Jietu’s sales in 2019 are expected to exceed 130,000 vehicles, and the challenge target of annual sales of 200,000 vehicles is set for next year, which means that it will achieve a year-on-year growth of 35% and at the same time enter the "top eight" of its own brand.

In terms of appearance design, Jetway X95 continues the family-style design of Jetway "Huizhou City Leader". The hexagonal air intake grille is huge in size, with dense lattice design inside, which has a very high degree of recognition.

On the other hand, the complicated multi-waistline design on the side enhances the overall three-dimensional impression, and the B/C/D column is painted in black with chrome trim, forming a more dynamic suspended roof effect. Its length, width and height are 4875mm/1925mm/1780mm respectively, reaching 2855mm. The rear of the car, which takes a simple route, conveys a bit of breath.

Entering the car, Jietu X95′ s surrounding interior design, with black as the main color tone, looks simple, atmospheric and full of scientific sense. The 12.3-inch central control large screen +12.3-inch LCD instrument +9.7-inch touch air conditioning screen has three large screens, bringing the scientific and technological experience of "three-screen interaction". The car has also changed from a traditional reflective glass to a multimedia system independent of the central control display screen, and has integrated rich functions such as driving recorder, navigation, Bluetooth call and voice control.

Although the price is very close to the people, in terms of sensory quality, Jietu X95 is very fastidious in detail design. The central control knob decorated with chrome-plated materials and the metallic sound cover at the door panel further demonstrate the high-end temperament of Jietu X95, while the piano painted door panels of the two side doors and the co-pilot center console are decorated with elegant "story-telling starry sky" atmosphere lights (with seven color changes), which can even "breathe" according to the rhythm of the sound that is also the best in its class.

In addition to the conventional configuration, in terms of intelligent security configuration, Jietu X95 has also reached the level of about 250,000 yuan in the current joint venture medium-sized. The whole system comes standard with J-Control intelligent driving system, Carlife, etc. The high-equipped models are equipped with car wireless WiFi, full-time interactive voice control system and car networking. In terms of intelligent assisted driving, high-profile vehicles provide many functions, such as 360 HD parking system, rear blind spot vehicle identification warning system (BSD), lane change assistance (A), rear cross collision warning (RCTA), door opening warning (DOW), front vehicle radar monitoring anti-collision warning system (FCW), fatigue prevention (LDW) and so on.

In terms of power, Jetway X95 has not been neglected because of its close pricing. On the contrary, Jetway X95 is equipped with 1.6T in-cylinder direct injection, which is the strongest power of its own brand at present, and the latest technological achievements, which is specially made for Guoliu B. Among them, this one is 145kw, and the peak torque is 290N·m, which is matched with the 7-speed wet dual clutch of Gertrak and the same powertrain. A big car doesn’t mean a high one. According to the official measured data, the 100-kilometer comprehensive of the new car’s 1.6T+7DCT model is 8.1L, while that of the 1.5T+ model is 7.7L.

For the deep cultivation of the "Travel+"market segment, Jietu’s understanding and operation have far exceeded the scope of product marketing. From the family-style design of "Huizhou City Leader", we can see that Jietu brand has a strong China traditional culture, which combines product innovation with cultural inheritance, creates a unique brand DNA, and is "unique" among the existing China brands, which has been affirmed and favored by users, and has also promoted traditional culture to the society and received good social effects. Although it has a strong imprint of traditional culture, the marketing level is not closed and conservative. Combining with "internet plus", Jetway has created a unique traveler cultural ecosystem, effectively integrating the travel industry, travel culture and industry, and at the same time, actively deploying new retail with innovative thinking, expanding user experience and contact points, and walking ahead of the peers. Undoubtedly, compared with those "foreign brands" that are "above the top", Jetway can resonate with China travel enthusiasts more.

In Jietu, we have seen a bold attempt in marketing methods and user experience. Jietu builds a fan alliance from the level of experience and sharing, looks for the leader, carries out activities, and forms a circle between users; At the same time, Jietu has cooperated with a large number of local catering, entertainment, entertainment, tourism and other different companies, which not only brings cross-border traffic implantation, but also establishes a multi-level ecological alliance and builds a really effective value circle.

For example, if you are a member of Ctrip Gold Card, you can enjoy the corresponding privileges and enjoy VIP treatment when visiting Fangte. At present, Jetway has established many unexpected ecological circles all over the country, including Jetway Fan Culture Festival, Jetway Family Banquet, Travel+Ecosphere Experience Day, Jiemeng, etc., which can bring special and real courtesy to users.

With bold marketing innovation, Jietu is full of vigor. On the night of November 28th, Summer, a singer who has been conveying vitality to everyone with her healthy image, returned to her "second hometown"-Shancheng, and became the chief travel experience officer of Jietu brand under the holding company.

"Have you ever tried a’ walk and go trip’?"

"Of course, I am an’ activist’, I won’t do any raiders, take the car keys and start at once!"

In the eyes of many on-site audiences, Summer has a high degree of fit with the Jetway brand and the protagonist of the night-"brand-new Jetway X95": they are all yearning, full of courage and sporty temperament, and they are simply "tailor-made".

As a "first-class travel" tailored for China travel enthusiasts, Jetway X95 has naturally made great efforts in comfort. The new car uses a large number of soft and environmentally-friendly plastic-lined materials, and the leather wrapping (known as 360-degree soft touch) everywhere is kind. Johnson’s advanced comfortable fine leather wide-body seat not only has NAPPA texture that young people like, but also is satisfactory in filling and wrapping. In addition, the front driver’s seat supports functions such as electric adjustment, lumbar support and position memory.

To achieve such a diversified presentation of customer value, those "high above" European departments obviously have a long way to go from Jietu. Whether it is a large number of middle-aged and elderly people who are happy to enjoy life and travel, or a new generation of consumers who are full of yearning for tourism, they are becoming more and more rational and are not simply blind to brands, because they know that what is suitable is the best!
