Report on the implementation of China’s fiscal policy in the first half of 2022

  CCTV News:According to the website of the Ministry of Finance, 2022 is an important year for China to build a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March into a new journey towards the goal of the second century. In the first half of the year, faced with the complicated and severe international situation and the arduous and arduous tasks of domestic reform, development and stability, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities and departments conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, effectively coordinated the prevention and control of epidemic situation and economic and social development, intensified macro-policy adjustment, effectively implemented a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, and solidly carried out the work of "six stabilities" and "six guarantees". The rebound of epidemic situation was effectively controlled, the national economy stabilized and rebounded, and people’s livelihood was effectively guaranteed. In the first half of the year, the GDP increased by 2.5% year-on-year, and in the second quarter, the GDP increased by 0.4% year-on-year. The main indicators stopped the downward trend and achieved positive growth.

  Since the beginning of this year, financial departments at all levels have adhered to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, carried forward the great spirit of party building, adhered to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, implemented the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, conscientiously implemented the requirements of "active fiscal policy should improve efficiency and pay more attention to accuracy and sustainability", strengthened the overall planning of financial resources, and implemented a new combined tax and fee support policy. Taking into account the needs of steady growth and risk prevention, appropriately reduce the deficit ratio, rationally arrange the debt scale, ensure the intensity of fiscal expenditure, optimize the focus and structure of expenditure, promote the sinking of financial resources, continuously improve people’s livelihood, strictly enforce financial discipline, and strive to stabilize the macro-economic market.

  First, increase efforts to reduce burdens and relieve difficulties and enhance the vitality of market players. Adhere to the combination of phased measures and institutional arrangements, and reduce taxes, refund taxes and delay taxes simultaneously. Vigorously improve the system of value-added tax credit and tax refund, and implement large-scale tax refund for tax credit. Increase the deduction ratio of R&D expenses of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises to 100%. Small-scale taxpayers are exempted from value-added tax in stages. Reduce the purchase tax of some passenger cars in stages. We will continue to implement the policy of tax reduction and fee reduction to support manufacturing, small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, and increase the scope of reduction and exemption and expand the scope of application. Strengthen financing support for small and medium-sized enterprises, and comprehensively use financing guarantees, loan interest subsidies, incentives and subsidies to guide and incite financial resources to flow to small and medium-sized enterprises. Staged holdover of social security fees and efforts to expand the scope. We will promote the employment priority policy, improve the quality and strength, continue to implement the unemployment insurance return policy, and implement interest subsidies and awards for entrepreneurial guarantee loans. It is estimated that the annual tax rebate and tax reduction will be about 2.64 trillion yuan, of which the tax rebate will be about 1.64 trillion yuan.

  The second is to maintain an appropriate expenditure intensity and optimize the financial expenditure structure. Deficit ratio is appropriately lowered to about 2.8%. Through certain state-owned financial institutions and franchisees, the balance of profits in recent years was turned over according to law and transferred to the budget stabilization fund, etc., and the national general public budget expenditure was arranged to be 26.71 trillion yuan, an increase of more than 2 trillion yuan over the previous year, and the available financial resources were significantly increased. Optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure, give priority to supporting key projects that have been included in the national "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" outline and key special plans, moderately advance infrastructure investment, and increase support for scientific and technological research, ecological environmental protection, basic people’s livelihood, modern agriculture and other fields and major regional strategies.

  The third is to arrange local government special bonds reasonably to ensure the construction of key projects. The overall leverage ratio of the government was basically stable, and the amount of special bonds for local governments was 3.65 trillion yuan, which was the same as that of the previous year. After being reported to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for the record, the special bond quota of 1.46 trillion yuan was issued in advance in December 2021, and all the special bond funds used for project construction were issued to local governments before the end of March. Adhere to the principle of "funds follow the project", make a deep and detailed reserve of special bond projects, make full use of special bonds as a major project capital policy, optimize the investment fields of special bonds, include new infrastructure and new energy projects in the key support scope, strictly supervise the use of funds, and focus on supporting projects under construction that can start as soon as possible, and expand effective investment. From January to June, all localities issued a total of 3.41 trillion yuan of new special bonds, basically completing the issuance task.

  The fourth is to promote the sinking of financial resources and support the grassroots to do the work of "three guarantees". Greatly increase the scale of transfer payments from the central government to local governments, especially general transfer payments, and tilt to difficult areas and underdeveloped areas. The central general public budget allocated nearly 9.8 trillion yuan to local transfer payments, an increase of about 1.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 18%, and the growth rate was significantly higher than in previous years. The provincial finance also sinks its financial resources to the maximum extent, supporting the grassroots to implement the policy of helping enterprises to bail out and ensuring basic people’s livelihood, wages and operation. Improve the direct mechanism of normalized financial funds, further expand the scope, and promote the rapid and accurate release and use of funds.

  Fifth, adhere to the tight life of party and government organs and promote the construction of conservation-oriented organs. The central government took the lead in living a tight life, focusing on ensuring rigid expenditures and urgently needed expenditures, strictly controlling general expenditures, strengthening the budget management of "three public funds", and striving to reduce administrative operating costs. In 2022, the expenditure of the central government decreased by 2.1%. Local governments at all levels are strict and tight, freeing up more financial resources to improve basic people’s livelihood and support the development of market players, so as to effectively save money for the people. We will improve the financial expenditure restraint mechanism, revitalize the financial stock funds and idle assets, promote the sharing of assets in administrative institutions, constantly improve the institutional system for living a tight life, and strengthen the evaluation of implementation.

  Sixth, strict financial discipline and financial order in put in order. Strictly implement financial laws and regulations and management regulations, tighten the "cage" of the system, and resolutely safeguard the seriousness of the system. Manage and make good use of financial funds and standardize income and expenditure behavior. Improve the tax collection and management system and severely crack down on tax evasion and tax fraud according to law. Further standardize the financial audit order and curb financial fraud. Organize and carry out special rectification actions of local financial and economic order, strictly investigate the serious violations, and make financial and economic discipline an untouchable "high-voltage line".

  In the next step, the financial department will conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the principle of stability, strive for progress in stability, implement the requirements of preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring safety in development, effectively coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development, coordinate development and safety, increase macro-policy adjustment, plan incremental policy tools, arrange ahead, speed up the pace, and make timely efforts to continue to do a good job in "six stabilities" and "six guarantees"

  First, the financial operation suffered from the impact of epidemic situation and other factors, and the budget implementation was generally good.

  This year, China’s economic operation started smoothly, and the national general public budget revenue increased by 10.5% in January and February. In March, due to the complicated situation and epidemic situation at home and abroad, the growth rate of income in that month dropped to 3.4% year-on-year. In April and May, the fiscal revenue declined due to the influence of the centralized implementation of the VAT tax refund policy. With the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation and the effect of stabilizing the economy, the fiscal revenue stabilized and rebounded in June, with an increase of 5.3% after deducting the tax rebate factor, and the growth rate turned from negative to positive. In that month, the fiscal revenue of 25 provinces in China achieved positive growth. Overall, the budget implementation in the first half of the year was generally good.

  (1) Affected by the epidemic and other factors, the growth rate of national fiscal revenue has declined.

  In the first half of the year, the national general public budget revenue was 10,522.1 billion yuan, a cumulative increase of 3.3% after deducting the tax rebate factor, and a year-on-year decrease of 10.2% in natural terms. Affected by epidemic situation, industrial structure and other factors, regional fiscal revenue differentiation is more obvious. After deducting the tax rebate, the revenue of the central and local general public budgets increased by 1.7% and 4.7% respectively, while the revenue of the eastern, central, western and northeastern regions increased by -1%, 13.7%, 16.5% and -3.5% respectively. The income growth in the central and western regions is relatively high, mainly driven by the increase in energy and resources industries, in which Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Xinjiang increased by 44%, 49.4%, 34.7% and 40.9% respectively, and maintained a rapid growth trend. In the eastern region, Fujian, Shandong and Zhejiang maintained steady growth, with the growth rates of 6.7%, 6.3% and 4.2% respectively after deducting the tax refund factor; Guangdong decreased slightly by 0.5%, which was 2.5 percentage points narrower than that in January-May, with an increase of 8.9% in June.

  In the first half of the year, the national tax revenue increased by 0.9% after deducting the tax refund factor, showing a gradual recovery trend, and decreased by 14.8% according to the natural caliber. After deducting the tax rebate, the domestic value-added tax decreased by 0.7%, among which, it decreased by 1.1% in June, which was significantly narrower than that in April and May, mainly due to the gradual improvement of industrial added value, service industry production index and other related economic indicators. Corporate income tax, personal income tax, value-added tax on imported goods and consumption tax increased by 3.2%, 8.7% and 14.9% respectively. Revitalizing idle assets through multiple channels led to an increase in non-tax revenue. In the first half of the year, the national non-tax revenue was 1,965.7 billion yuan, an increase of 18%.

  (two) to ensure the intensity of fiscal expenditure, expenditure protection in key areas.

  We will increase the overall planning of financial funds, turn over the profits accumulated in recent years according to law through specific state-owned financial institutions and franchisees, and transfer them to the budget stabilization fund to maintain an appropriate expenditure intensity. In the first half of the year, the total expenditure of the national general public budget was 12.89 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%, which was higher than the increase of fiscal revenue. Among them, the central government’s expenditure at this level was 1,563 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%; Local expenditure was 11,325.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%.

  We will optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure, give priority to supporting key projects that have been included in the outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan and key special plans, and increase support for scientific and technological research, ecological environmental protection, basic livelihood, modern agriculture and other fields and major regions. Among them, the expenditure on science and technology was 434.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%; Transportation expenditure was 635.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12%; Expenditure on agriculture, forestry and water was 1,038.3 billion yuan, up 11% year-on-year; Health expenditure was 1,125.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%; Education expenditure was 1,920.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%; Expenditure on social security and employment was 2,019.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%.

  Accelerate the progress of fiscal expenditure. After the National People’s Congress approves the budget, the central government will complete the departmental budget approval on the same day, and at the same time pay close attention to the transfer payment budget. Up to now, except for some funds such as factual settlement, all other qualified transfer payments have been issued. Closely track the implementation of local and departmental budgets, supervise and guide the strengthening of budget implementation management, and promote the early implementation of funds and policies.

  (3) Continue to live a tight life and make better use of financial resources.

  Adhere to the requirement of tight days throughout the whole process of budget implementation, which not only fully guarantees the necessary expenditure demand, but also strictly controls the expenditure barrier, hardens the budget constraint, strictly controls the general expenditure, and fully guarantees the key expenditure. The central government takes the lead in living a tight life. On the basis of the negative growth of the central government’s expenditure for two consecutive years, the central government’s expenditure will continue to be negative in 2022, down by 2.1%. During budget implementation, the supplementary budget shall be strictly controlled, and the newly-added urgently needed expenditure of the department shall be given priority through the existing budget as a whole. For matters that really need to be used, the budget shall be strictly examined and submitted to the State Council for approval before being issued. Vigorously revitalize the department’s stock funds and idle assets, and recover the surplus funds and carry-over funds that have not been used up for two consecutive years in accordance with the regulations to avoid idle funds. Evaluate the tight life of the central departments on a quarterly basis, link the evaluation results with the budget arrangement, and urge to strengthen the awareness of thrift. At the same time, local governments should be guided strictly to ensure that precious funds are used in critical areas of development and urgent needs of people’s livelihood.

  Second, increase efforts to help enterprises bail out difficulties and focus on stabilizing the macroeconomic market.

  In view of the needs of market players, we improved fiscal macro-control, paid attention to the coordinated combination of various policy tools, implemented new combined tax and fee support policies, and continuously increased the efforts to reduce burdens and bail-outs. In the first half of the year, 507.4 billion yuan of tax rebates were added and 1,845.5 billion yuan of tax rebates were processed, which effectively boosted the confidence of market players, enhanced the endogenous motivation for development, and promoted stable and healthy economic development.

  (1) Accelerating the implementation of the tax reduction and tax rebate policy.

  First, the value-added tax allowance is refunded in advance on a large scale. Focus on small and micro enterprises and key industries to increase tax refund. All qualified small and micro enterprises and six industries, such as manufacturing, will be included in the scope of policy implementation, and further expanded to seven industries, such as wholesale and retail. The incremental tax allowance will be refunded in full every month and the stock tax allowance will be refunded in full at one time. The total amount of new tax refund for the whole year is about 1.64 trillion yuan. Accelerate the progress of tax refund. Priority will be given to small and micro enterprises, and the stock of medium and large enterprises will be reserved for tax refund in advance. Among them, the remaining tax credits of micro-enterprises and small-scale enterprises will be refunded before April 30 and June 30, 2022 respectively; The stock tax allowance for medium-sized enterprises will be implemented in advance on May 1st and returned centrally before June 30th; Large-scale enterprises’ stock tax allowance will be implemented ahead of June 1 and returned centrally before June 30 to ensure the accelerated release of policy dividends. Strengthen the guarantee of treasury funds. The central government has arranged a special transfer payment of 1.2 trillion yuan to support the grassroots to implement tax reduction and fee reduction and key people’s livelihood, and all of them have been issued; Establish a separate allocation and pre-allocation mechanism for tax refund funds, pre-allocate monthly and roll liquidation to ensure the funds needed for local tax refund, and bring the funds into the direct monitoring system to ensure the timely refund of funds. From April 1 to June 30, the country handled 1,722.2 billion yuan of tax refund for 1.865 million taxpayers. In addition, in the first quarter, it continued to implement the previous old policy of tax refund for tax refund, and in the first half of the year, a total of 1,845.5 billion yuan of tax refund was refunded to taxpayers’ accounts.It has reached 2.9 times the scale of tax refund in the first half of last year, and successfully realized the "big head landing" of the tax refund policy.

  Second, other tax reduction and fee reduction policies to support manufacturing, small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households will continue to be implemented. Small-scale taxpayers are exempted from value-added tax in stages. Expand the scope of application of the "six taxes and two fees" relief to small and meager profit enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households. For small and micro enterprises, the annual taxable income of 1 million yuan to 3 million yuan will be halved, and the actual tax burden will be reduced to 5%. We will intensify the implementation of the policy of adding and deducting R&D expenses, increase the proportion of adding and deducting R&D expenses of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises to 100%, and improve policies such as accelerated depreciation of equipment and appliances. In the first half of the year, the preferential policy of "six taxes and two fees", the reduction of value-added tax for small-scale taxpayers and the increase of income tax incentives for small and micro enterprises reduced the burden on taxpayers by 83 billion yuan, 79.3 billion yuan and 47.7 billion yuan respectively.

  Third, industries with special difficulties have received precise assistance. The public transportation services such as public transport, which are greatly affected by the epidemic, and the express delivery service of necessary living materials for residents are exempted from VAT. Suspension of air transport and railway transport enterprises to pay VAT in advance for one year. Continue the policy of adding and deducting value-added tax for production and life service industries. In order to stabilize automobile consumption, the vehicle purchase tax will be halved in stages for passenger cars with a displacement of 2.0 liters or less not exceeding 300,000 yuan, which will benefit about 8.7 million passenger cars. Encourage all localities to give relief to taxpayers who have real difficulties in paying urban land use tax.

  (two) the extension of the phased holdover of social security fees.

  The first is the expansion of the industry. On the basis of implementing three social insurance premium policies of phased holdover for the aged, unemployment and work-related injury in five extremely poor industries, such as catering, retail, tourism, civil aviation and highway, waterway and railway transportation, the holdover policy will be further extended to 17 difficult industries, such as agricultural and sideline food processing industry and textile industry, in which the implementation period of holdover for the aged insurance premium will be until the end of 2022, and the holdover period for work-related injury and unemployment insurance will not exceed one year, and the late payment fee will be exempted during the holdover period.

  The second is to postpone the payment. All small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households with temporary difficulties in production and operation in areas seriously affected by the epidemic can apply for holdover of the unit contributions of pension, unemployment and work-related injury, and the implementation period of holdover will be until the end of 2022, during which the late payment fee will be exempted. Individual industrial and commercial households who participate in the basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees in their personal capacity may voluntarily suspend payment until the end of 2023 if it is difficult to pay the old-age insurance premium in 2022.

  The third is to study and introduce incremental policies. We will implement a phased deferred payment policy for employees’ medical insurance units, make it clear that the accumulated balance of the overall fund can be paid in the overall planning area for more than six months. Since July 2022, small and medium-sized enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households insured by units will be deferred for three months, and the late payment fee will be exempted during the deferred payment period, and the "free application and enjoyment" handling mode will be fully implemented.

  (3) The employment policy of stabilizing posts has been effective and intensified.

  First, the security of employment funds has been increasing. We will give priority to employment. In 2022, the central government allocated 61.758 billion yuan of employment subsidies, an increase of 5.168 billion yuan. At present, 59.758 billion yuan has been allocated to support local governments in implementing employment and entrepreneurship support policies.

  Second, the policy of aiding enterprises to stabilize their posts has been effective. Continue to implement the policy of reducing unemployment insurance rates and industrial injury insurance rates by stages until April 30, 2023. We will continue to implement the policy of stable return of unemployment insurance, and increase the return ratio of large enterprises from 30% in 2021 to 50%, and the return ratio of small and medium-sized enterprises from 60% to 90%. Cities and counties in areas with medium and high-risk epidemic in 2022 may grant a one-time stay-at-work subsidy to all insured enterprises that are temporarily unable to operate normally due to the serious impact of the epidemic, according to the standard that each employee participating in unemployment insurance does not exceed that of 500 yuan, and the policy will be implemented until the end of 2022.

  Third, the employment of key groups has been carried out in a solid manner. For enterprises that recruit college graduates in the graduation year, sign labor contracts and participate in unemployment insurance, they will be granted a one-time job expansion subsidy according to the standard of no more than 1,500 yuan per person; Small and medium-sized enterprises that recruit college graduates in the graduation year and sign labor contracts for more than one year will be given a one-time employment subsidy. The policy of one-time post expansion subsidy and one-time employment subsidy will not be enjoyed repeatedly, and the two policies will be implemented until the end of 2022. Newly established "Central Special Lottery Public Welfare Fund to Support College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Project" and arranged funds of 100 million yuan to promote the development of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education. Introduce the national student loan interest-free and principal deferred repayment policy, exempt the national student loan interest that should be repaid in 2022 by graduate loan students in 2022 and previous years, and the interest-free funds shall be borne by the finance; The repayment of the principal can be postponed for one year without penalty interest, which is expected to benefit more than 4 million college graduates.

  With the gradual recovery of the economy and the gradual implementation of various policies to stabilize employment, the trend of rising unemployment rate in urban surveys has been reversed. In the first half of the year, 6.54 million new jobs were created in cities and towns nationwide, and the national average unemployment rate reached 5.7%, and the employment situation generally improved.

  (4) Accurate efforts in government procurement.

  The first is to facilitate the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in procurement activities. Urge all regions and departments to strengthen the management of procurement demand, standardize the setting of qualification conditions, flexibly reserve the whole project, reasonably reserve procurement packages, require large enterprises to form a consortium with small and medium-sized enterprises, and require large enterprises to subcontract to small and medium-sized enterprises to ensure the contract share of small and medium-sized enterprises. By increasing the proportion of advance payment, introducing credit guarantee, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to carry out contract financing, and providing free electronic procurement documents, it is convenient for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in procurement activities. Pay purchasing funds in time in strict accordance with regulations, effectively reducing the financial pressure on SMEs.

  The second is to adjust the price evaluation concessions of small and micro enterprises. Deduct the discount from the original 6%— 10% to 10%— 20%, that is, in the procurement activities, the quotation for small and micro enterprises will be given 10% first & mdash; 20% deduction, after winning the bid, sign the contract according to the actual quotation of small and micro enterprises. The preferential evaluation for large and medium-sized enterprises to form a consortium with small and micro enterprises or for large and medium-sized enterprises to subcontract to small and micro enterprises is changed from 2% to mdash; 3% to 4%— 6%, adding orders, increasing motivation and stabilizing expectations for SMEs.

  The third is to increase the reserved share of government procurement projects. In principle, all engineering procurement projects below 4 million yuan are reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises. For the project procurement projects with more than 4 million yuan that are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, the reserved share for small and medium-sized enterprises will be gradually increased from 30% to more than 40% in the second half of 2022 on the premise of adhering to the principles of openness, fairness and fair competition and unifying quality standards, so as to further expand the share of small and medium-sized enterprises in obtaining project contracts.

  With the active support of the above policies and measures, the contract amount awarded to small and medium-sized enterprises in national government procurement accounts for about 75% of the national government procurement scale.

  (5) Financing support continued to increase.

  First, inclusive finance’s development support has been further strengthened. In 2022, the central government allocated a special fund budget of 10.707 billion yuan for the development of inclusive finance, and continuously enhanced the ability of financial services to the real economy. In conjunction with relevant parties, the first batch of 83 demonstration zones supported by the central government for inclusive finance’s development were launched, and 2.28 billion yuan of award and compensation funds were allocated to support various localities to build inclusive finance demonstration zones with their own characteristics according to local conditions, so as to promote the expansion, increment, cost reduction and efficiency improvement of inclusive finance’s services.

  Second, the small and micro enterprise financing guarantee fee reduction incentive policy continued to be implemented. We will issue 3 billion yuan as bonus for fee reduction of financing guarantee for small and micro enterprises, focus on expanding the scale of first loan, single-family loan of less than 10 million yuan, medium-and long-term loan guarantee and innovative small and micro enterprise guarantee business, increase support for small and micro enterprises in special difficult industries such as transportation, catering, accommodation and tourism, reduce the rate of financing guarantee, and promote the solution of financing difficulties and expensive financing for small and micro enterprises.

  Third, the government financing guarantee will expand the scope and increase efficiency. We will expand the coverage of government financing guarantees to small and micro enterprises, clarify the target and task of adding more than 1 trillion yuan of re-guarantee cooperation business to the national financing guarantee fund during the year, and give better play to the countercyclical adjustment role of government financing guarantees. In the first half of the year, the national financing guarantee fund has completed the re-guarantee cooperation business scale of 596.2 billion yuan, an increase of 85% year-on-year; Serving 780,000 market players, up 214% year-on-year; The scale of supporting agriculture with small businesses was 588.9 billion yuan, up 86% year-on-year, and the scale of supporting agriculture with small businesses accounted for 98.78%, up 0.09 percentage points year-on-year.

  Third, accelerate the issuance and use of local government special bonds and expand the scope of support to promote the expansion of effective investment.

  Accelerate the issuance and use of special bonds, optimize the investment fields of special bonds, and continuously strengthen the management of special bonds, which has better guaranteed the reasonable financing needs of local governments and effectively played a positive role in promoting the expansion of effective investment and stabilizing the macro-economy.

  (1) The newly-added special bond quota has basically been issued, so as to promote the formation of physical workload as soon as possible.

  According to the requirement of keeping the overall leverage ratio of the government basically stable, in 2022, the National People’s Congress approved a new limit of 3.65 trillion yuan for local government special bonds, which was the same as the previous year. Planning the issuance and use in advance, authorized by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), in December 2021, the amount of new special bonds was 1.46 trillion yuan, three months earlier than the previous year, and the amount of new special bonds of 3.45 trillion yuan used for project construction at the end of March was all issued. Optimize the allocation of special bond quotas, give full consideration to local financial conditions, debt risk levels, project reserves and other factors, and tilt the allocation to areas with strong solvency and sufficient project reserves. Make full use of special bonds as the capital policy of major projects, optimize the investment fields of special bonds, and require all localities to give priority to special bond funds for key projects included in the national "14 th Five-Year Plan" and major regional development strategies, and resolutely do not spread "pepper noodles." Guide the local authorities to arrange the issuance time in advance, pay close attention to the budget adjustment procedures, decompose the newly issued quotas into cities and counties in time, and promote the formation of physical workload as soon as possible.

  From January to June, a total of 3.41 trillion yuan of new special bonds were issued. Among the special bonds issued, 1,169.1 billion yuan was used to support municipal construction and industrial park infrastructure, 577.7 billion yuan for transportation infrastructure, 638.9 billion yuan for social undertakings, 529.6 billion yuan for affordable housing projects, 283.2 billion yuan for agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, 127.6 billion yuan for ecological protection and 80.2 billion yuan for energy and urban and rural cold chain logistics infrastructure, which played an important role in stabilizing the macro-economy. Among them, all localities have arranged more than 240 billion yuan of special bond funds as capital for major projects, effectively giving play to the inciting role of government investment. Under the premise of compliance with laws and controllable risks, guide commercial banks to provide supporting financing support for qualified special bond project construction entities.

  (2) Incorporate new infrastructure and new energy projects into the scope of support, and prepare key projects in advance.

  Expand the scope of priority support for special bonds. According to the deployment requirements of the State Council, we will study and reasonably expand the scope of special bonds, and on the basis of existing transportation infrastructure, energy, ecological and environmental protection, affordable housing projects and other fields, we will clearly include qualified government investment projects in new energy and new infrastructure areas into the scope of local government special bonds to help the development of emerging industries.

  Do a deep and detailed project reserve. Guide the local authorities to do a good job in the normalization of special bond projects in accordance with the requirements of "putting a batch of reserves into storage, issuing and using a batch, and starting construction a batch". In 2022, 71,000 special bond projects will be reserved in two batches. In the first half of the year, the newly issued special bonds supported more than 23,800 projects, including about 10,800 projects under construction and about 13,000 new projects.

  (3) Strengthen the supervision and management of bond funds, and further improve the efficiency in the use of funds.

  Strictly implement the negative list management of special bonds, and it is strictly forbidden to use bond funds for buildings, halls, image projects, performance projects and non-public welfare capital expenditure projects. Strengthen daily supervision and management, carry out penetrating monitoring of special bond projects, report the progress of early warning of special bond expenditures on a monthly basis, regularly carry out special inspections on the use and management of special bonds, comprehensively tighten the management responsibilities of competent departments and project units, strictly implement the punishment mechanism for handling special bond funds, strengthen the rigid constraints on violations, and promote the legal and compliant use of special bond funds.

  Fourth, improve the direct mechanism of normalized financial funds, and release funds quickly and accurately.

  Further expand the scope of direct funds, speed up the release and use of funds, strengthen monitoring and management, and the direct mechanism of financial funds works well, with obvious policy effects, and the role of benefiting enterprises and benefiting the people is effectively brought into play.

  (a) expand the scope of funds, the total scale of direct funds is about 4 trillion yuan.

  All eligible funds for benefiting enterprises and benefiting the people will be included in the direct range, with a total capital scale of about 4 trillion yuan, an increase of about 1.2 trillion yuan over the previous year. In particular, this year’s one-time transfer payments to support grassroots implementation of tax reduction and fee reduction and key people’s livelihood will be included in the direct fund management, and the direct mechanism will effectively play an important role in safeguarding people’s livelihood and supporting grassroots operations. At the same time, local governments are required to include local financial funds corresponding to the direct funds of the central government in the direct scope, and local governments are encouraged to include their own funds for benefiting enterprises and benefiting the people in the direct scope in light of actual conditions, so as to further amplify the effect of the direct mechanism.

  (B) quickly issued for use, direct funding effect.

  First, the budget funds were quickly released and implemented. In the first half of the year, out of about 4 trillion yuan of direct funds, the central government has allocated 3.992 trillion yuan, accounting for 97.9%. All qualified funds have been allocated, and the outstanding funds are mainly factual settlement projects. The local finance has allocated 3.625 trillion yuan to the fund users, accounting for 90.8% of the central finance, and promoted the timely implementation of funds.

  Second, the overall use of expenditure is relatively fast. In the first half of the year, in addition to the funds allocated by local governments to support tax refund, tax reduction and fee reduction, 357,000 projects were arranged through direct funds, resulting in an expenditure of 1.848 trillion yuan, accounting for 57.9% of the 3.192 trillion yuan issued by the central government, 7.9 percentage points higher than the scheduled progress, and the overall use of funds was nearly one month faster. The focus of expenditure is tilted to the grassroots level, with provincial expenditure of 0.646 trillion yuan, accounting for 35%; The expenditure of cities and counties was 1.202 trillion yuan, accounting for 65%.

  Third, the policy of benefiting enterprises and benefiting the people has achieved remarkable results. In terms of protecting the main body of the market, all localities not only support enterprises by offsetting income such as tax refund, tax reduction and fee reduction, but also help enterprises through financial expenditure. According to incomplete statistics, related direct benefits to enterprises cost about 350 billion yuan, benefiting 680,000 market participants, totaling 2.56 million times. In terms of ensuring residents’ employment, it is preliminarily estimated that the expenditure directly used for employment exceeds 20 billion yuan, which promotes the implementation of the employment priority policy and stabilizes the employment situation. In terms of ensuring basic people’s livelihood, according to preliminary statistics, the expenditure on basic people’s livelihood such as pension, compulsory education, basic medical care and basic housing reached 1.17 trillion yuan, helping to firmly grasp the bottom line of people’s livelihood.

  (3) Strengthen the supervision of funds to ensure that the direct use of funds is standardized, safe and efficient.

  (two) strictly implement the responsibility to ensure that the "three guarantees" expenditure is given priority.

  In accordance with the principle of "county-level-oriented, municipal-level assistance, provincial-level bottom-up, and central incentives", the graded responsibility system is implemented. The financial operation of established counties (including county-level cities) is mainly responsible by the provincial finance, and the financial operation of municipal districts is mainly responsible by the prefecture-level cities where they are located, and the responsibility of "three guarantees" is always the same. We will improve the incentive and restraint mechanism, and when arranging general transfer payments, the central government will reward areas that have achieved remarkable results in strengthening the "three guarantees" guarantee and improving the county-level financial level and balance. Strengthen work guidance and supervision, require local governments to take the "three guarantees" expenditure as the focus of budget arrangements, adhere to the priority of the "three guarantees" expenditure in fiscal expenditure, and take practical measures to ensure that the salaries and pensions of key groups such as teachers are paid on time.

Conference site (Tang Shiying/photo)

Cctv news(Reporter Tang Shiying) At 10: 00 a.m. on February 15th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference. Yu Kangzhen, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and Zhang Xianliang, Director of the Fisheries Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Green Development of Aquaculture" and answered questions from reporters. 

At the meeting, a reporter asked: "In recent years, some voices in the society have suggested that aquaculture has some negative effects on the environment. Excuse me, how does the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs view this issue? "

"We did learn that in some places, the relationship between aquaculture and water ecological environment was not handled very well, and aquaculture polluted the environment. Is it true that all kinds and methods of aquaculture will pollute the water ecological environment? Need scientific analysis. " Yu Kangzhen said that not all aquaculture varieties and farming methods will have a negative impact on the aquatic ecological environment, only high-density and unreasonable feeding farming methods will have a greater impact on the environment, and scientific and reasonable farming methods will not cause pollution to the environment. On the contrary, scientific and reasonable farming methods can also purify and repair the water ecological environment.

Yu Kangzhen introduced that according to the Bulletin of the First National Pollution Source Survey, aquaculture emissions are calculated by chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen, accounting for 4% of agricultural emissions. Most pollutants in aquaculture are organic substances such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which mainly cause eutrophication of water environment and have little impact on water body as a whole. In addition, filter-feeding fish such as shellfish algae in marine culture and silver carp and bighead carp in freshwater culture in China are all non-feeding aquaculture varieties. Among them, shellfish algae account for 83% of the total amount of marine aquaculture, and filter-feeding silver carp and bighead carp account for 25% of the total amount of freshwater aquaculture. These cultured varieties have good purification and restoration effects on the environment. It is estimated that in 2016, only silver carp and bighead carp culture can eliminate about 370,000 tons of nitrogen and 140,000 tons of phosphorus in water. 

The results of a consulting research project of China Academy of Engineering show that the algae culture of marine shellfish has an efficient "carbon fixation" function. Yu Kangzhen said that only marine shellfish culture can remove more than 1.2 million tons of carbon every year. "The contribution of marine shellfish culture in China to reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide is enormous. To make a metaphor, it is equivalent to afforestation of 500,000 hectares per year, and the ecological benefits are remarkable. "

How does basalt weave into a five-star red flag? Can you still be a "fire magic suit"? Exclusive revelation →

   On May 3 this year, Chang ‘e VI was launched from Wenchang Space Launch Site in China, and was sent into the earth-moon transfer orbit by Long March 5. In 53 days, Chang ‘e-6 successfully landed in the pre-selected landing area of aitken Basin in the South Pole of Moon Back, and achieved the world’s first sampling and take-off of Moon Back, and successfully returned to Earth with lunar soil on June 25th, with a round trip of more than 760,000 kilometers.

  Behind this success, there are many unknown stories. A series of reports on the science and technology "Chang ‘e" on the Moon explores the scientific and technological forces behind Chang ‘e’s lunar exploration. Today we pay attention to the five-star red flag displayed on the back of the moon for the first time.

  "Stone Edition" Five-Star Red Flag is made of basalt.

  The national flag displayed on the back of the moon on Chang ‘e VI has very special requirements for materials. It is made of "stone".

  In a quarry in Yuxian County, Hebei Province, a kind of stone called basalt is being collected here. The basalt here is one of the oldest, largest and most complete basalt groups in China.

  Zhu Zhaochun, Head of Xinyuan Basalt Mining in Yuxian County:Basalt hasHigh toughness, corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature and low temperature resistance.Excellent performance.

  Zhu Zhaochun knows a lot about the characteristics of basalt, but what he doesn’t know is that,These characteristics of basalt are the materials suitable for the lunar environment that the Chang ‘e-6 lunar flag development team has been looking for.

  Wang Yunli, a professor at wuhan textile University, a member of the Chang ‘e-6 lunar flag development team:In the environment of the moon, its high and low temperatures are as high as MINUS 150℃ and above zero 150℃. Because the moon has no atmospheric protection, ultraviolet rays will directly shine on objects. Therefore, for the national flag, it puts forward more stringent environmental requirements.

  In addition to the characteristics that can meet the lunar environment, the research team also found that basalt is similar to the lunar soil in chemical composition.

  Cao Genyang, a professor at wuhan textile University, a member of the Chang ‘e-6 lunar flag development team:We found that the composition of basalt on the moon is very complicated through the published literature on lunar soil, with 10 to 20 components, the most important of which is silica. We matched and analyzed the stone and found that its data was very close to the composition of the lunar soil. Finally, we chose the basalt mine in Yuxian County, Hebei Province.

  In this way, the basalt in Yuxian County, Hebei Province was selected as the raw material for making the Chang ‘e VI national flag. These stones, which have existed on the earth for hundreds of millions of years, have embarked on the road to the moon.

  Tempered stones become ultra-light and ultra-thin fabrics.

  There is a very important reason why Chang ‘e VI chose the "stone version" national flag to show the back of the moon.Making national flag from basalt is an exploration of in-situ manufacturing of lunar surface..In the future, it is necessary to use local materials to build a lunar base, and to make basalt on the moon into sheet or tubular building materials for lunar surface construction, which will greatly save costs than using materials on the earth.

  After the raw materials are determined, how to turn stones into cloth and accurately control the weight?It has become a difficult problem that the development team urgently needs to overcome.

  The national flag on the lunar surface of Chang ‘e VI has the same specifications as the national flag on Chang ‘e V, and its size is 300mm×200mm, which is almost the size of a piece of A4 paper. However, the density of basalt fiber is nearly twice that of Chang ‘e V national flag, which will lead to the heavier "stone version" national flag. Because it will be used in spacecraft, the weight requirement of the national flag on the moon surface is extremely demanding, and it needs to keep the same weight under the same size. The developer calculated that this requires the density of basalt fiber to be 8.8 grams per 1000 meters so as not to be overweight, but how can such fine basalt fiber be produced?

  Cao Genyang told reporters that the process control, furnace temperature, spinneret state and so on were constantly being debugged, but no matter how to do it, the density index of 10 grams per kilometer became an insurmountable gap in making basalt fibers. After numerous experiments, it is found in a production process that the trapezoidal optimization of the inner cavity structure of the spinneret and the distributed accurate temperature control in the furnace can solve the problem of insufficient characteristics of basalt fibers.

  In the end, the development team successfully realized the stable mass production of superfine basalt fiber. The weight of the Chang ‘e VI flag they made was only 11.3 grams, which was 0.5 grams lighter than that of the Chang ‘e V flag.

  Four years of tackling key problems on the back of the moon perfectly presents "China Red"

  Ultra-fine basalt fiber has been made, and the next challenge comes one after another. "How to color the fiber made of stone" has become another difficult problem for the development team.

  Different from cloth, the filaments drawn from stone have a particularly smooth surface, and the pigment cannot be firmly attached to the flag surface. The flag is finished, and the color can’t go up. The research team can only try again and again to find a solution.

  Finally, based on the experience of Chang ‘e V, the research team used the aramid short fiber hairiness on the surface of the fabric to make the binder in the pigment form a similar "rivet" anchoring effect with it, effectively improving the bonding fastness of the paint interface and the color fullness of the national flag pattern, and ensuring the lunar display effect of the national flag.

  Researchers told reporters,From a silk to a flag, there are at least forty or fifty steps in the middle process.Compared with the eight-year research on the development of Chang ‘e-5 national flag, the research time of Chang ‘e-6 national flag is particularly tight, and the team members have almost no rest days, all of which are to ensure that this national flag can withstand the "tempering".

  Dr. Sheng Dan, Ph.D., wuhan textile University, member of the Chang ‘e-6 lunar flag development team:There are four mechanical experiments, and there are three steps in environmental experiments, including pre-test and so on, at least 50 steps. Finally, I took a flag and went through a complete experiment from beginning to end, including the final deployment. Later, when I saw the national flag organization unfolding, I felt very cute and proud when I saw the organization unfolding.

  The lunar flag development team lasted for nearly 4 years and conquered it.Spinning, Weaving and Color Construction of Basalt MicrofiberAnd many other international problems, the "stone version" of high-quality fabric national flag without temperature control protection and independent dynamic display was developed for the first time, which realized the first independent dynamic display of the national flag on the back of the moon in China. Put the "China logo" on the moon again!

  Prospects can be expected. Aerospace science and technology will weave "fire-proof magic clothes"

  While the "stone version" of the national flag was being developed,The lunar flag team started the application research of basalt fiber in the fields of heat resistance and flame retardant.. These research results also make basalt more useful.

  Natural fibers with golden brown luster are drawn from hard basalt. In the production workshop, a large number of basalt crushed stones are thrown into the blast furnace. At the high temperature of 1500℃, the rocks are melted into liquid, and then drawn into filaments that are almost invisible to the naked eye through the rotating shaft. And this fiber contains a total of 400 monofilaments of 500 microns. Touching a single filament of basalt fiber with your hand makes it feel like a hair filament, silky and extremely tough.Clothes made from them are "magic clothes" with fire-proof function..

  The cloth made of basalt fiber combined with textile processing can be used as fire clothes in special scenes, and can also be made into household items such as fire curtains and fire mattresses in the future. At the same time, basalt fiber has broad application prospects in road construction, composite materials, new energy vehicles and other fields.

  Wu Minyong, General Manager of Hubei Huierjie New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.:In the field of new energy vehicles, it can be used as a brake pad and a fireproof cloth for battery modules; In the field of aerospace military industry, we use it as an interception network for space launch sites.

Boiling water blanching vegetables without oil and salt, Jolin Tsai’s "way to enjoy thinness"


  Asian trend diva Jolin Tsai will sing at the Guangzhou Gymnasium on December 13. Hanging rings, twisting, splitting legs, gravity-free yoga gymnastics, pole dancing, ribbon dancing… These dazzling and difficult movements, Jolin Tsai will also show to the fans again without hesitation. How does she maintain enough physical strength to complete these movements? How does she maintain the figure and skin that has made countless girls envy for many years? Recently, the reporter walked into the presidential suite of the China Hotel where Jolin Tsai stayed to reveal the secrets of the future diet for you – a simple diet can also eat a healthy and good figure!


  Want a balanced diet? Starchy meat is indispensable


  If you think that Jolin Tsai doesn’t touch meat in order to maintain a good figure, then you are very wrong. She said that balanced nutrition is the most important thing, and you can’t avoid starch and meat because you are afraid of getting fat. "Because if you don’t eat or eat meat, you won’t have the strength!" Jolin Tsai expressed her lovely and practical concept very directly. She eats a certain amount of rice or bread every day to ensure the intake of starch. "Although I don’t eat much, each meal is a small half bowl of rice, but I won’t skip it." She pointed to the seafood pot and a small plate of chicken in front of her to "explain": "I prefer to eat seafood, but this one has no seasoning, and the chicken is to prepare for the concert to raise yourself more strong. The rings, yoga, gymnastics, etc. are all very laborious." She didn’t think it would lead to weight gain. "It’s so hard to prepare for the concert. It’s great that you don’t lose weight after practicing all day!"


  Tips for the Queen:


  Girls don’t need to worry too much about the problem that eating meat will make them fat, because the "threat" of general meat to obesity is not as good as oil and various seasonings. "My nutritionist told me that these are all unhealthy things. In fact, the original ecology of food is the healthiest. So these seasonings will not appear in my diet." Cai Yilin usually only drinks water and fruit juice, "Try to avoid touching sugary drinks, it is easier to make people fat."


  Can’t quit snacking? Fruit can serve as


  Looking at the food in front of Jolin Tsai, she could tell that her favorite food was fruit: salad, fresh fruit, juice… She always changed ways to make herself eat more fruit, "Vitamin C in fruit can replenish the body’s water, and it is good for health and skin, which is more important for girls." Fruit is well known for its nutrition, but it doesn’t mean that fruit is the staple food? "It won’t get greasy. I already like to eat fruit, and there seems to be no fruit I don’t like. And when I eat it in different ways, it feels different." Speaking of her favorite fruit, Jolin Tsai, who has always been less talkative, opened the box and became a nutrition expert. " She can almost treat fruit as a snack, "the manager next to him also joked.


  Diva Recommended:


  Fresh fruit: original taste, experience freshness and original ecology


  Fruit salad: If you want to eat dessert, you can use it instead


  Freshly squeezed juice: can quickly absorb nutrients and is healthier than sugary drinks


  Afraid of being too light? Pure original flavor is not bad either


  The most common thing on Cai Yilin’s table is green vegetables. She advocates that it is mainly light, so "blanching vegetables with water" has become a must-order dish. "The vegetables blanched with boiling water do not contain oil and salt, and are more’original ‘, and the nutrients in them are relatively intact." Wouldn’t it be hard to swallow without any taste? "At the beginning, I was not used to it. I always felt that my mouth was moving and I didn’t eat anything at all. But later, when I got used to it, I found that the vegetables themselves have their own taste, which is not bad."


  It’s understandable to blanch vegetables with water, but if the fish and meat are not seasoned… Cai Yilin said with a smile: "Many of my friends find it incredible when they see me eating these food without color and taste, and sometimes they even say with disgust: ‘Hey, what kind of food is this!’, but they don’t know that I really don’t find these light things unpalatable, and I have even fallen in love with such food."


  Fun Facts About Diva:


  Jolin Tsai’s manager revealed that once working late, everyone went to a hot pot restaurant to eat Chongqing Mandarin Duck Pot. Everyone ate heartily, but Jolin Tsai sat in the corner, facing a pot of boiled water without tomatoes, green onions and monosodium glutamate, and rinsed vegetables. Everyone thought she was "pitiful", but in fact she was enjoying the original food with relish.


  One meal a day? Three meals refused hot topic


  If you think Jolin Tsai eats one meal a day, then you are wrong again. "I must eat three meals a day, even if I don’t eat much, otherwise I will feel as if I am missing something and will have no energy." The manager next to me added, "When the time is up, she must eat it, and sometimes she has to eat supper at night." Isn’t it easier to get fat after eating supper? It turns out that her supper is still "boiling vegetables with water".


  However, many girls’ favorite cakes, ice cream, potato chips and other hot topic foods are already distant memories of Jolin Tsai. "I don’t seem to have eaten these things for a long time, and the snacks are all replaced by fruit. The cakes and cookies my song ordered for me are all sugar-free." She doesn’t even remember the "last time" she ate ice cream, "It should be a long, long time, and I forgot why. But what impressed me is that I forgot the taste when I ate it, and I thought while eating it: Oh, so this is the taste of ice cream." The surrounding staff smiled and added: "Sometimes we will deliberately’seduce ‘, but she is unmoved. I admire her persistence, after all, these are great temptations for girls. "


  Diva comments:


  "If you want to eat healthy and stay in shape, you have to endure some. It’s a big sin to eat a dry-fried steak without oil every now and then!" She believes that girls need to face these "restrictions" with a different mindset and have enough confidence to maintain them. "I actually enjoy the feeling of being in control of my diet and weight, and the control of my body makes me less susceptible to temptation."


  Should I take supplements? timely need


  Jolin Tsai worked hard, so naturally she had to add some soup and supplements. "When my mother came to see me, she would bring me some soup or something, but she had to filter some oils and seasonings, and sometimes add some salt if she felt it was too weak. My nutritionist would prepare some healthy recipes for me according to my physique and performance needs." For example, Jolin Tsai has been practicing gymnastics and yoga more recently, which has high requirements for the flexibility of bone hardness. "So now I need to take more calcium tablets to enhance bone quality and avoid injuries during practice or performance." It seems that Jolin Tsai’s professionalism and dedication are also reflected in her diet.


  Diva Lessons:


  Some time ago, Jolin Tsai suffered a skin infection due to the seasonal hair removal of her dog, and was even called a "bad face" when she went to the hospital. "In fact, the media is too exaggerated, and the photos are a little exaggerated," said Jolin Tsai. "I was surprised when I saw it myself. The actual situation is not so scary! But after this lesson, I will often eat some nutrients to enhance my immunity, so that my skin and physical fitness will always be in a good condition."

Roasting with fire, dissolving in water, rubbing salt, shaking foam … These cosmetic testing "crooked operations" won’t work.

  Beauty cosmetics guide to avoiding pits

  Reporter Jin Feng

  If you want something beautiful, how can you do it without skin care and makeup? In the eyes of many beauty experts, today’s skin care and makeup process is not just as simple as "washing your face and applying a cream", but involves a series of steps such as cleansing, toner, cream and essence.

  Before these operations, the quality of the product is the most important thing. In order to identify the quality of the product, there are various methods circulating on the Internet: "Facial cleanser is baked with fire, and if it is splashed with oil or baked more and more like yogurt, the safety factor is not high." "Shake toner, if there is less foam, it means less nutrients." "Put salt on lipstick and rub it. If there are black particles, it means that the content of lead and mercury exceeds the standard, never buy it. … Can these seemingly simple "earthworks" help us polish our eyes, and how can we choose the products that suit us?

  Improper operation: baking facial cleanser with fire and spilling oil are not safe.

  Positive solution: oil spills are caused by oily components or emulsifiers.

  "Roasting with fire will spill oil, or the more it is roasted, the more it looks like yogurt, which does not explain the quality of facial cleanser." Chi Bo, a professor at the School of Food and Light Industry of Nanjing University of Technology and the State Key Laboratory of Material Chemical Engineering, told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that splashing oil when baking facial cleanser with fire can only prove that there are oily ingredients or emulsifiers in facial cleanser.

  Chi Bo said that some facial cleansers with strong cleaning power and more soap-based surfactants will add some grease or emulsifier. Grease can reduce the degreasing power of soap-based surfactants and make facial cleansers softer to use. This facial cleanser will spill oil if baked with fire, but it does not mean that it is unsafe to use this facial cleanser.

  As for why facial cleanser is baked more and more like yogurt, it is related to the formula of facial cleanser. Chi Bo said that some facial cleansers have high fineness, and the water evaporates after baking, and the molecular structure of the emulsifier has not been destroyed, so it will be very sticky, but this can only prove that its emulsification system is relatively stable and the facial cleanser will be stored for a relatively long time.

  Since the method of identifying the quality of facial cleanser by fire roasting is not reliable, how to judge the efficacy of facial cleanser? "After using a good facial cleanser, the face is not tight." Chi Bo said, "In particular, it is not recommended for people with sensitive skin to use facial cleanser that makes the skin feel tight, because it will remove the oil that acts as a barrier on the skin surface."

  Xu Yang, deputy chief physician of jiangsu province hospital Dermatology Department, also said that the main function of facial cleanser is cleaning. After cleansing, the skin is not tight, moist and dehydrated. If you want to moisturize the skin, you might as well use facial cleanser containing moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and allantoin.

  In addition, the pH value of facial cleanser is preferably weakly acidic. "The pH value of skin is about 4.1— 5.8, and the pH value on the market is 6-mdash; Facial cleanser between 7 can be used, and the pH value can be measured with test paper. Although the degreasing of alkaline or soap-based facial cleanser is better, if it is too alkaline, it may affect the pH value of the skin. " Xu Yang said that after the change of skin pH value, it will cause changes in skin flora. If the pH value increases, it will form an environment conducive to the growth of some skin bacteria such as propionibacterium acnes, thus increasing the probability of acne on the skin.

  Chi Bo suggested that for people with oily skin, you can use soap-based facial cleanser containing dodecyl and laurate, but you should also beware of excessive cleaning and damage to skin oil. Excessive cleaning will make the skin dry and tight, and it will also open the pores completely, which will increase the chance of contact with germs and lead to skin allergies. People with neutral and sensitive skin are more suitable for facial cleanser containing amino acids and olive oil lipids.

  Inclined operation: shake the toner, and there are many nutrients in the foam.

  Positive solution: the content of surfactant determines the amount of foam

  After washing your face, especially in hot summer, pat a little toner on your face, and a refreshing feeling will come to your face. So how to identify the advantages and disadvantages of toner? Some netizens suggested shaking the toner. If there is less foam, it means less nutrients. Is that true?

  "The content of nutrients has nothing to do with the amount of foam." For this method circulating on the Internet, Chi Bo said that many ingredients in the toner will not produce foam, such as vitamin C, plant extract, salicylic acid and so on.

  Xu Yang said that the ingredients in toner are both water-soluble and fat-soluble, such as hyaluronic acid and fruit acid, which are water-soluble ingredients, and glycerol and salicylic acid, which are fat-soluble. Surfactants need to be added to dissolve fat-soluble ingredients in water. Surfactants can cause foam when shaking, but surfactants do not affect the nutrition of toner.

  Chi Bo further introduced: "In the production of toner, sometimes in order to dissolve essence and essential oil in water, it is necessary to add surfactant, which can increase the surface tension of the liquid, make all the substances evenly blend and form an oil-in-water system, so that various substances are not easy to delaminate and the storage time is longer."

  How much foam you shake out can’t judge the substance content, so how to choose the toner that suits you?

  Xu Yang said that the function of toner is mainly to moisturize and soften the stratum corneum. However, the use of toner should vary from person to person. People with oily skin can use some toner that softens the cuticle or contains alcohol. For people with sensitive skin, it is not recommended to use toner containing alcohol, fruit acid and salicylic acid easily. "Fruit acid and high concentration salicylic acid have exfoliating effect, etc. It is not recommended for people with thin cuticle." She suggested that for people with sensitive skin, if you can’t identify which toner is useful to you, you can use lotion or moisturizer directly without caution.

  Inclined operation: the emulsion enters the water, but floats on the water surface and contains oilstone ester.

  Positive solution: Sinking and floating surfaces are mainly determined by density.

  An emulsion that looks as pure as milk is moisturizing and moisturizing. If a few drops are squeezed and dissolved in water, some emulsions float on the water surface and some emulsions sink into the water. Some emulsion identification methods circulating recently believe that the emulsion floats on the water surface, indicating that it contains oleoresin, which will harm the skin. Is this statement reliable?

  Regardless of ups and downs, it can’t prove whether the emulsion will harm the skin. Xu Yang said that emulsion is generally composed of oil, emulsifier, preservative, perfume, excipient for adjusting pH value, etc. The density of the emulsion is determined by different preparation formulas and processes, and whether the emulsion floats on the water is determined by the density of the emulsion. If the density is greater than water, the emulsion will sink, otherwise it will float on the water. However, it can’t be said in general that the emulsion floating on the water will hurt the skin, which depends on the specific components and proportions.

  Chi Bo believes that emulsions containing more oils are easier to float on the water surface. Most of these oils are light oils, such as mineral oils. The amount of oils will affect the skin feel and moisturizing strength of emulsions. Healthy skin is water-oil balance, and the best way to keep skin healthy is to protect the barrier function of skin. Too light and too thick emulsion is not suitable.

  If you want to choose a suitable emulsion, you can also pay more attention to the ingredient list. Xu Yang believes that the most important function of lotions and creams is moisturizing. If you need anti-aging, you can choose an emulsion with substances such as alcohol A, vitamin C, vitamin E and peptides. Sensitive skin needs some emulsions that have anti-allergic effect and can repair the water-oil barrier, such as those with ceramide, purslane extract and licorice extract, which have certain anti-inflammatory effects. The emulsion containing vitamin C, arbutin, tranexamic acid and other substances is suitable for people who need whitening. Salicylic acid, fruit acid, almond acid and other substances can help fine pores and fight acne.

  Oblique operation: rubbing salt on lipstick turns black, indicating that it contains lead and mercury.

  Positive solution: The content of related substances can only be detected after nitration with strong acid.

  Choosing a powerful lipstick will not only make your lips full and shiny, but also make your whole face feel makeup. Some netizens said, put salt on lipstick and rub it. If there are black particles, it means that the lead and mercury content exceeds the standard, so don’t buy it.

  In this regard, Qu Mei, a senior engineer of the National Cosmetics Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, responded: "Not reliable." One of Qu Mei’s daily work is to check the quality of all kinds of cosmetics.

  She said that whether the quality of a lipstick meets the standard needs to be reflected by its lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and total number of colonies, mold and yeast, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and other conventional indicators. To complete this detection process, it needs to go through a set of chemical experiments.

  "When testing, we weigh the lipstick, add strong acid, and then heat it with an electric furnace. The strong acid will fully decompose the chemical composition of lipstick. Then put them in a high-temperature boiling furnace and burn them for several hours to remove all the organic substances in the lipstick, leaving inorganic substances. After dissolving inorganic substances, the contents of lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium in cosmetics can be detected by atomic absorption or atomic fluorescence. Therefore, it is impossible to decompose lead and mercury just by adding salt at room temperature. " Qu Mei told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium are all prohibited ingredients in the production of cosmetics. The prohibited mercury can make the skin appear whitening in the short term, but lipstick has no short-term whitening demand, so there is no need to add it. The test results of cosmetics center for many years show that no samples of lipstick containing excessive mercury are found, so consumers don’t have to worry.

  What are the black particles produced by the friction between salt and lipstick in the online video? Chi Bo said: "Black particles may be caused by sodium chloride destroying the paste system of lipstick, which changes the internal components. However, some merchants will not write all the ingredients in the ingredient list, and the composition of black particles is not easy to judge. "

What is the essence of finance? Finally someone made it clear!

Source: Investment Bank Laosky
As we all know, the financial industry is a "multi-gold" industry, but anyone who mixes in the financial circle will feel that he has a "halo".
Why is this? Because most people don’t understand finance. Because of scarcity, information inequality will exist, and making money often comes from getting information earlier than others. Therefore, we can not invest or manage money, but we must know some financial knowledge.
bank interest
A rich man borrowed a loan of 5,000 yuan from a Wall Street bank for two weeks. The bank loan must be mortgaged. He used a Rolls Royce parked at the door as collateral. The bank clerk parked his Rolls-Royce in the underground garage, and then lent the rich man 5000 yuan. Two weeks later, the rich man came to pay back the money, and the interest was 15 yuan. The bank staff found that the rich man had tens of millions of dollars in his account and asked why he still borrowed money.
Regal said: 15 yuan’s two-week parking lot will never be found on Wall Street.
Non-profit investment
Please give an example to explain what is unprofitable investment. The economics professor asked questions.
"Take your sister out to play." A male student replied.
The principle of precedence and separate totals
Pick up 75 yuan once, or pick up 50 first and then 25, which one?
Lose 75 yuan once, or lose 50 first and then 25, which one?
Experiments show that most people choose to pick up 75 yuan separately and throw it in 75 yuan together.
This is the principle of pleasure and pain in economics: n pieces of good news should be released separately; N bad news should be released together; A big bad news and a small good news, respectively; A big good news and a small bad news are released together.
Resource pairing
If men and women are divided into four excellent levels of ABCD, the current situation is that A men want to find B women, B men want to find C women, and C men want to find D women, so D men are left.
On the other hand, women are different, that is, ABCD women want to find a man. The final result is a woman and a man.
Comparative utility
There is a formula in economics: happiness = utility-expectation.
For example, your boyfriend privately gave 1000 yuan as a reward for his excellent work. At this time, if your expectation is that he can buy himself a bag with 10000 yuan, then if 1000 is divided by 10000, the happiness is only 0.1. But if your expectation is to let your boyfriend treat himself to a 200-yuan western-style meal, then if you divide 1000 by 200, your happiness will be 5.
Finance is cruel.
If we want to find an antonym for "literary youth", the most appropriate one is "financial youth".
Financial youth
How to understand this sentence?
From tomorrow on, I want to have a house facing the sea and blooming in spring. From tomorrow on, be a happy person, feed horses to chop firewood and travel around the world. From tomorrow on, I only care about my relatives, lovers and friends around me.
The premise of all this is: have a house, have a house, have a house …
Regarding the house, if we can look at it with "financial thinking", then you wouldn’t be so infatuated with Gao Xiaosong’s words "Don’t buy a house, buy a dream".
After the housing reform in China, the house has actually become a financial product. Many people think that housing prices in China are sky-high, because houses are just houses in their eyes. And if you regard the house as a financial product, you will understand why the house price in China is soaring all the way.
Xiao Bian believes that every item, service and enterprise in the future can become a financial product, and then carry out financial operation on it. For example, the financialization of movies, when you are watching movies, others are betting on the box office.
What is financial operation? It is to promote the capital to flow into the most efficient countries and regions, the most efficient industries, the most efficient enterprises, the most efficient projects and the most efficient individuals in turn, so as to realize the appreciation and expansion of capital.
Toolbox consciousness
So from now on, you must have toolbox awareness.
That is: your house, car, stock, salary, etc. are all your financial instruments. Your purpose is not to completely own them, but to use them. You should add value through renewal, turnover and redemption, and then push up your height, so that you can allocate more resources.
The essence of finance is how money makes money. Money is not the root of all evil, it can only quantify everything. Assets can be quantified, thinking can be quantified, life can be quantified, feelings can be quantified, and even time can be quantified.
Everything is for my use, and nothing is for me. All tangible assets are things outside the body, and the ideas and patterns you form in this process are your own.
In order to allocate larger, more and farther resources, you also need to understand the principle of leverage.
lever principle
Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry up the whole earth! This is a famous saying handed down from ancient Greek scientist Archimedes, which means that no matter how heavy an object is, as long as my lever is long enough, I can pry it. The principle of leverage is a very clever invention, and we completely incite things beyond our "power".
This is also a very inspiring principle, which inspires us to boldly change the world. But it is all kinds of financial players who really apply this sentence to the extreme and completely change the world.
Without leverage, there is no finance. The essence of all financial innovations is to amplify the leverage smoothly. The first-level leverage is 1: 3, and the second-level leverage is 1: 3. When the whole system is superimposed, it becomes 1: 9, and there are three, four or even invisible levers.
It is not difficult to amplify the lever, but it is difficult to match the lever series with your control, otherwise it will get out of control. Repeated illegal fund-raising, small loans, guarantees and other events that closed down due to the break of the capital chain, as well as the frequent incidents of losing contact and running away from Internet finance are all caused by leverage, so the essence of all financial crises is that leverage is out of control!
For the country, Shui Muran believes that true wisdom is a system that takes credit as the fulcrum and designs a lever with controllable risks to incite and allocate distant resources. That is the high wisdom of the country and the essence of financial thinking.
Four roles
The essence of finance is Qian Shengqian, and this logic turns the world into four roles:
The first role: I have money and I need to turn it into more money. (capitalist)
The second role: I don’t have money, I can help rich people turn money into more money. (Banks and other institutions)
The third role: I have no money, but my ideas can be turned into money (entrepreneurs)
The fourth role: whoever gives me money, I will help him earn money (migrant workers)
Therefore, finance is an angel, because it can help people who need money to get money; Finance is also the devil, because it makes rich people richer.
So finance, to put it bluntly, is: managing money for the rich and financing for those who are short of money. Then take value-added as the goal, leverage as the means, credit as the cornerstone and boundary as the risk. The essence of finance is the interaction of value-added, credit, leverage, risk and so on, thus forming a large operating system.
Credit is particularly important here, because credit is the basis of leverage. If you have credit, I will leverage. There is no credit and no finance. Credit is the foundation and lifeline of finance!
So in the future, your credit is more important than your identity!
Serve the entity
Finance can be imaginative, but it can’t be illusory.
The so-called image in heaven is shaped in the ground. The essence of finance is just the image projected by the physical industry in the sky, and finance must step on the rhythm of the entity.
For example, for enterprises, your profitability must be greater than your debt speed; For the financing platform, your return on investment must be greater than the interest promised to customers. For the bank, the corporate risk of your lending must be within your own tolerance.
Once finance breaks away from the physical rhythm, it will enter the bubble stage. And now, we are facing this problem!
Deng said: Finance is the core of modern economy. If the finance is done well, everything will be alive.
Boring
If there is wisdom in finance, Shui Muran summed up five sentences:
The root of human inequality is private ownership, and the root of the excessive gap between the rich and the poor is finance.
When you have to rely on hard work to succeed, you have lost at the starting line.
Ugliness is nothing compared to the weakness of poverty.
Some things can be changed without hard work. No matter how beautiful the RMB of 50 yuan is, it is not as attractive as the RMB of 100 yuan.
Therefore, finance can be really boring sometimes.
Homosexual game
Regardless of stock trading, investment or buying a house, finance is a game with human nature. This game is divided into four realms:
Technology-art-magic-Taoism.

No, literally, it means that gold stands for wealth, which means to get together, to get together and form a big one means to get together successfully. From a commercial point of view, it is understood that a group of people save their money, start a company, and then use it to do business and make money. The money is earned back, and then the money earned back is used to do business. It can be understood that you pay and I pay, and we lend the money together, charge interest, and then circulate. This is called borrowing money.

The essence of finance is how money makes money. Money is not the root of all evil, it can only quantify everything. Assets can be quantified, thinking can be quantified, life can be quantified, feelings can be quantified, and even time can be quantified.

Everything is for my use, and nothing is for me. All tangible assets are things outside the body, and the ideas and patterns you form in this process are your own.

The essence of finance is to promote exchange and at the same time increase its own value, and the two cannot be separated. When the market enjoys its function of promoting exchange, it must pay the price of its appreciation. Cycle after cycle, financial capital keeps expanding in vain. In order to eliminate or weaken this cost, we can only offset it by over-issuing money and making price inflation. This process is irreversible, and eventually we will reshuffle the cards through war or other means. This is the objective law, regardless of human will!

Beauty dilemma: it starts with the flow and stops at the product.

Chupin, 21st Century Innovation Capital Research Institute

With the rise of Z generation and social platforms in China, in the past two or three years, a large wave of e-commerce has appeared in the outlet of new consumption, and countless new consumer brands have sprung up. With the help of online celebrity’s new traffic portal, through cooperation with Li Jiaqi, Viya and massive Xiaohongshu KOC, it seems that the brand has become popular and "out of the circle" overnight.

Behind the rapid rise of domestic beauty is the blessing of capital. According to the "2021 Beauty Industry Trend Insight Report" released by CBN Data, in 2020, the beauty industry disclosed that the investment and financing amount was 4.812 billion yuan, a growth rate of 324% compared with 1.135 billion yuan in 2019. With Dongfeng, Perfect Diary and Winona’s IPO, Winona’s parent company Betaine (300957) went public in March this year.

Starting with flow

Back in 2016, Huang Jinfeng just stepped down from Yu Nifang and established Yixian E-commerce (YSG.N). The company name is Huang Jinfeng to pay tribute to his alma mater, Sun Yat-sen, and Chen Yuwen and Lu Jianhua, the co-founders of FMCG brand, are friends of Huang Jinfeng’s college classmates for many years. Zhang Lei of Gaoyan Capital once asserted that China must have a chance to give birth to a new L ‘Oré al, but is the "new L ‘Oré al" a perfect diary? Perhaps it is still open to question.

Undoubtedly, the capital blessing of the "golden owners" has provided it with a steady stream of power. Since March 2017, Yixian E-commerce has launched the first perfect diary of cosmetics brand. With its cost-effective products featuring "big brand replacement", it has a consumer group that meets its positioning among many high-end brand cosmetics. Whenever users have complaints about the experience of perfect diary products, there will always be something like "only a few tens of dollars, what else do you want!" Comments. In a short period of three and a half years, Yixian E-commerce has completed seven times of financing and gone to IPO, and the capital lineup behind it is also extremely luxurious, including Gaoyan Capital, which holds 13.8%, Zhenge Fund, which holds 10.5%, and Gaorong Capital, which holds 9.2%, as well as many big-name investment institutions such as Boyu Capital, Tiger Global and Sequoia China. It has been revealed that in last year’s round of financing, "new shareholders came in by grabbing, otherwise they were done by old shareholders."

Obviously, the business model of Perfect Diary is the most typical "Internet play" in recent years. It was pushed to the market after relying on funds to seize the market crazily, and its fast-moving speed is also a "double-edged sword". According to the national enterprise credit publicity information system, there are 38 patents of Perfect Diary (Yixian E-commerce), all of which are appearance patents, and there is no core R&D patent information such as component technology.

From 2018 to 2020, the sales and marketing expenses of Yixian e-commerce were 309 million yuan, 1.251 billion yuan and 3.412 billion yuan, respectively. The overwhelming advertisements revealed the new generation of consumers’ cognition of the perfect diary. In fact, spending money on marketing has achieved a lot. Generation Z has gradually become the main force of consumption. Nowadays, brands can quickly establish consumers’ minds and brand awareness by using the effects of online celebrity and stars. Packaging theme design with "ingenuity" and "face value" and cross-border joint names can quickly capture consumers’ hearts. In the beauty track, cross-border joint products have exploded in just three years, with a growth rate of nearly three times.

The turning point occurred in February 2018. The keen marketing team of Perfect Diary found that many users published brand color testing and grass planting content on Little Red Book. Planting grass on the surface is actually dark and wide, which makes Perfect Diary see the possibility of new users’ growth. The data shows that in June 2017, the number of users of Little Red Books was only 50 million, but it surged to 100 million yuan in March of the following year, and the user activity was close to 30 million, three times that of a year ago. Perfect Diary rode the express train of Xiaohongshu, and the sales volume was singing all the way.

Product dilemma

However, beauty brands have to speak with products after all. Despite the large number of new products on the Perfect Diary, there is still no impressive and timeless big single product. On the cost side, big single products do not need to be upgraded repeatedly, which is difficult to be eliminated and does not require high new product promotion fees. However, the money of the perfect diary is spent on advertising, and the product research and development that needs real money most is far from enough. Perfect Diary’s R&D expenditure in 2020 is only 67 million yuan, accounting for 0.93% of revenue. In 2018 and 2019, it is only 3 million yuan and 23 million yuan.

As a result of the lack of research and development, although the products are dazzling, they have always changed their forms and the repurchase rate is not optimistic.According to the data of CICC Research Institute, after trying to cooperate with Xiaohongshu, Tik Tok and KOL, the sales of Shiseido, L ‘Oreal and Estee Lauder all increased by more than 60% in 2020, while the sales of Perfect Diary increased by only 22%. In addition, another major "injury" of Perfect Diary is its low gross profit, which positions the brand as "big brand replacement", but its gross profit margin is 10% to 20% lower than that of Estee Lauder and Huaxi Bio. If you want to break the dilemma of low gross profit, the simplest and most direct way is to raise the price, but rashly raising the price will inevitably affect the biggest "advantage" of the perfect diary-cost performance. Therefore, Perfect Diary came up with the method of "reducing the quantity without reducing the price". Under the condition of normal lipstick net content of 3 to 4 grams, the "small heel" lipstick is only 0.8 grams.

At present, there are more and more enterprises on the national makeup track, and with the extrusion of foreign competing products, "cost performance" is no longer the most important cornerstone for domestic products to break through. At the moment when market recognition is increasing, quality is the goal that domestic beauty brands need to pursue.

Today, the domestic beauty industry has a perfect supply chain and industrial chain, which provides a very fertile soil for domestic brands to go to sea.According to CBNData’s "2021 Beauty Industry Trend Insight Report", Guangzhou has become a well-deserved incubator for new beauty consumer brands.According to the report data, nearly three-quarters of Tmall sellers in Guangzhou are mainly engaged in "face value industry" such as beauty care, which is 1.6 times of the national proportion; Guangzhou has more than half of the number of domestic cosmetics companies filing.In the past three years, the sales of Guangzhou beauty and skin care brands on Tmall platform have nearly tripled, such as Perfect Diary, Flower West, Tangduo, Zhiben and Runbaiyan.

Obviously, the biggest possibility for domestic brands to choose to go to sea is that their domestic losses are serious, and they urgently need to open up new markets and take international routes to raise prices for future research and development of high-end products.With the listing of Yixian e-commerce, I once said that I would take the perfect diary of domestic brand Thorn Road. The best interpretation of going out to sea is to try to acquire international brands and then turn to high-end market development.On October 30, 2020, Perfect Diary announced that it had reached an agreement with Pierre Fabre Group of France to acquire its high-end beauty brand Galénic;; On March 2, 2021, Perfect Diary said that it had reached an agreement with Manzanita Capital, a venture capital institution headquartered in London, to acquire its high-end skin care brand "Hermes in makeup remover" Eve Lom.The successive high-end acquisitions have made Perfect Diary’s cash flow tight. According to the annual report, the net cash flow generated by Perfect Diary’s annual business activities in 2020 was 983 million yuan.

At present, the most popular beauty products are lipstick, eye shadow and blush. According to the data of China Commercial Industry Research Institute, the export volume of beauty cosmetics and toiletries in China in 2020 is 999,000 tons, up by 4.3% year-on-year. With the help of e-commerce brands such as Tmall and Amazon, it is easier for new brands to go to sea.

In the future, it is still unknown that the perfect diary plan will cost billions of dollars in marketing expenses. However, when the heat and sales shine, will the perfect diary develop "luminous" products that will make the market refreshing?What consumers are more concerned about is how to gain a foothold in the market where new products are repeated after eating the perfect diary of traffic bonus.

The product business model of Perfect Diary is DHC, that is, Direct to Customer. In the list of foundries published in Perfect Diary, Ying Teli, Kosmeishi, Shanghai Zhenchen, etc. are all foundries of internationally renowned big-name nature halls, Polaiya, Dior, Chanel and Maybelline. With years of OEM experience,These foundries also have both design and R&D capabilities. It is not difficult to understand that behind the endless stream of new products, the R&D expenses account for only 0.9%.What will be the next step of the perfect diary under the loss? Obviously, the product quality of Perfect Diary can’t compete with the same brand, but the price is in an awkward position of "more than enough, more than enough". Consumers are paying for its "eye-catching" theme and packaging, and the name of "ZARA in beauty industry" is well deserved.

Although the performance of Marubi Co., Ltd. (603983) does not rely too much on marketing, it is also labeled as "single product". Marubi Co., Ltd. has three brands: Marubi, Chunji and Love Fire, and its core brand and revenue force are Marubi, which accounts for more than 90% of the company’s total revenue all the year round.

The advantage of Marumi lies in the solid foundation of its inherent customers. Since 2017, Marumi’s net interest rate has always remained between 20% and 30%, and Polaiya (603605) has also remained above 10%.

Track change

It is not easy for Marubi to cultivate high-end products and face the fierce competition in the cosmetics market with high gross profit margin when only Marubi brand stands out.Marubi’s gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2021 was 63.91%, which was 2.29 percentage points lower than the 66.20% at the end of 2020. Compared with the gross profit margins of benchmark enterprises Polaiya (64.09%) and shanghai jahwa (64.56%) in the first quarter of 2020, Marubi no longer has the advantage of high gross profit margin.

At the moment when the explosion of beauty products has sprung up, Marubi shares urgently need to find new consumption points to make consumers pay for high prices, so as to seize new profit growth points and highlight the encirclement. It is worth noting that on November 12, 2020, Marubi announced that it planned to abandon the original "make-up" fundraising project. The investment in the new project is estimated to be 276 million yuan, which will mainly focus on skin care products, supplemented by make-up products. After completion, it is expected to add 3,382.5 tons of skin care products and 200 tons of make-up products, fully reaching the annual output value of about 596 million yuan, which will continue to deepen the layout of the company’s skin care industry chain.

From this point of view, Marumi shares plan to abandon the fast-growing makeup track and turn to the skin care track.Not only that, Marumi shares also intend to invest in food and beverage and new retail consumer industries. On October 29th, 2020, Marubi announced that the company intends to jointly invest with several partners to set up an industrial fund with a scale of 100 million yuan, which will mainly invest in domestic and foreign high-quality or high-growth enterprises in consumer industries related to food and beverage, condiments and new retail, so as to build an ecological circle of food industry. One of the limited partners is Shanghai’s "coming to Iraq".Marubi Co., Ltd. said that this investment direction has a certain correlation with the company’s main business, mainly functional foods related to beauty.

The domestic beauty cosmetics who are striding forward all the way, the "circle" is getting bigger and bigger, but it seems to be getting farther and farther away from what people expect.After the rapid rise of national cosmetics with capital, what will be the next step? After the "fan economy" and "face value economy", Chinese cosmetics still need to rely on high-quality differentiated items to gain a foothold in the market.
