China Consumer News Xi ‘an News(Reporter)Xu wenzhiOn November 21 ST, the traffic on Renmin Road in Xianyang, an ancient city in the afternoon, was woven. Zhangfan, head of the People’s Road Resident Group of Qindu District Market Supervision Bureau in Xianyang City, suggested that the national platform 12315 should set a parameter for profit-making claims, and the number of complaints reported by each complainant on the same day should not exceed five.

"Under the influence of the’ demonstration’ of’ anti-counterfeiting bloggers’, some consumers imitate anti-counterfeiting; In addition, in some places, the principle of’ unclear consumer disputes are handled by the market supervision bureau’ is adopted in the handling and distribution of work orders on the 12345 platform. All these have promoted a substantial increase in the number of complaints. " Zhangfan said. It is understood that the number of complaints accepted by Zhangfan’s jurisdiction ranks first in Qindu District all the year round.

Baqiao District Market Supervision Bureau Xiwang Market Supervision Office, located in the junction of Xi ‘an suburbs, has not only received a rapid increase in the number of complaints, but also a variety of types. Wang Jiangning, director of the institute, called for strengthening the exchange of experience in consumer rights protection.

"According to the old version of food business license management, cold rice noodles are classified as snacks, and snacks are staple foods, which are equivalent to hot food processing. Under the management of the new food business license, the’ snacks’ item was cancelled. Whether the cold noodles belong to cold dishes or hot foods has become blurred. " On November 22, Wang Jiangning told reporters, "Some whistleblowers think that cold rice noodles belong to cold dishes, and there should be a special cold dish making room, which is inconsistent with the current actual situation and can easily lead to administrative reconsideration. I hope that relevant departments will give legal guidance, and local counterparts will strengthen exchanges of experience to better handle consumer complaints. "

It has been calculated that an average of 2353 days in a woman’s life is menstrual period, which is equivalent to 7 years. If you use 3-4 sanitary napkins for daily use and 1 sanitary napkin for night use every day, according to the pricing of domestic brands, women spend 10,000 yuan more on sanitary napkins than men.

This figure spread evenly every month is not enough to attract too much attention, but for some women, it is a real "unspeakable".

The cause of the incident was that some netizens posted two screenshots, one was a "bulk sanitary napkin" of an online shop, and the price of 100 pieces was 21.99 yuan, which was far lower than the price of hardcover sanitary napkins on the market, while the other picture was asked by some netizens, "Do you dare to use such a cheap three-no product? Dare to buy it in private parts? " The two buyers replied that "life is difficult" and "I have difficulties".

The topic of "bulk sanitary napkins" quickly rushed to Weibo for hot search. Some netizens found out according to the screenshot of Weibo that the relevant qualification documents of bulk sanitary napkins came from Quanzhou Xianghe Sanitary Products Co., Ltd. Afterwards, the person in charge of the company told Litchi News that the bulk sanitary napkins sold in the online store were not produced by Xianghe, and the relevant documents were stolen. At present, the bulk sanitary napkins in the online store have been removed from the shelves.

However, the incident has not subsided. Some netizens said that although the bulk sanitary napkins were removed from the shelves, where should the poor women who can’t afford sanitary napkins go? Behind the controversy of "bulk sanitary napkins", the long-neglected issue of "menstrual poverty" is exposed in the public eye.

Who is buying and using "bulk sanitary napkins"?

"Bulk sanitary napkins" exist more in online shopping platforms. Searching for the keyword "bulk sanitary napkins" on an online shopping platform can find a large number of bulk sanitary napkins without corresponding labels such as outer packaging and shelf life. These bulk sanitary napkins vary in size, but most of them are sold in a package of 100 pieces, and the price fluctuates between 20 yuan and 25 yuan.

The original product link of the bulk sanitary napkins sold in the above-mentioned online store shows that the monthly sales volume of this bulk sanitary napkin is more than 300 pieces, and the baby evaluation is more than 800 pieces. Even after being exposed as unqualified, customers still buy it.

The monthly sales volume of a 100-piece bulk sanitary towel sold by another online shop is as high as nearly 1,000, with more than 5,700 comments from buyers. Among them, the number of favorable comments is close to 99%. Among these favorable comments, "high cost performance" and "large quantity discount" have become high-frequency keywords.

Ms. Guo, the person in charge of Quanzhou Xianghe Sanitary Products Co., Ltd., said that low-priced sanitary napkins are more popular in third-tier cities and rural remote areas. "Some women in their forties and fifties in rural areas will buy them because they think this is a big bag and cheaper than the brand sanitary napkins with few pieces and expensive prices on the market."

But obviously this can’t fully explain the huge turnover of bulk sanitary napkins on the online shopping platform-most rural middle-aged and elderly women are not the main force of online shopping, so where does a large amount of online turnover come from?

Under the topic of "How to treat bulk sanitary napkins" in Zhihu, a netizen named "Abu Bu" talked about his experience of buying bulk sanitary napkins when he was a student: "I can’t open the pot at home, I dare not ask my parents for money. I bought a sanitary napkin at the grocery store for 20 cents, and my mother bought a pack of 20 tablets for daily use for several months."

Another Zhihu netizen shared his special experience of contacting Sanwu bulk sanitary napkins: "In mid-June this year, my mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer, and her lower body was accompanied by irregular bleeding due to illness. The ureter was oppressed by the tumor and she could not control urination. She needed a lot of sanitary napkins every day. Knowing that her mother didn’t want to waste money on it, she tried to search and bought a lot of bulk sanitary napkins on Taobao." The netizen said that he only found it when he looked through his mobile phone after his mother died.

Some people in charge of online stores also said that behind the bulk sanitary napkins, there are not all tragic stories of women’s distress. September is the peak season for the sale of bulk sanitary napkins every year. Many students will buy bulk sanitary napkins for military training insoles. In addition, elderly people who can’t take care of themselves at home will also use bulk sanitary napkins as adult diapers.

"Bulk sanitary towel" is not completely equal to "three no products"

Many netizens question the safety of bulk sanitary napkins because of their poor packaging and low price. So, are bulk sanitary napkins necessarily equivalent to fake and inferior products?

The safety of sanitary napkins has always been concerned. From 2013 to 2014, domestic sanitary napkins experienced a period of low ebb, and quality problems were frequently exposed. In April 2013, Quanzhou police disclosed a major case of sanitary napkin fraud with a case value of 150 million yuan. In the same year, there was also a fake "Sophie" sanitary napkin with a hidden "grasshopper mummy" in Xiamen. In March, 2014, Consumer Report submitted 10 brands of sanitary napkins, including Hushubao, Sophie, ABC, kotex, Susan, etc. The test results showed that all the products submitted for inspection were detected with migratory fluorescent whitening agents.

The quality scandal once reduced the confidence of Chinese people in domestic sanitary napkins and turned to overseas brands. The data shows that although overseas sanitary napkin brands are more guaranteed in quality, many of their foundries are in China.

Ms. Guo told Litchi News that the quality control of domestic sanitary napkins has been very strict in recent years. "If there is a little mistake, you have to throw it away, but this does not mean that there is a quality problem." But she also admits that the quality of bulk sanitary napkins is not as stable as that of hardcover sanitary napkins.

Although Quanzhou Xianghe Sanitary Products Co., Ltd., where Ms. Guo is located, does not sell bulk sanitary napkins, Ms. Guo still believes that bulk sanitary napkins cannot be equated with "three no products". "The sanitary napkins were all in bulk when they were just produced, and then they were packaged by hand."

In Ms. Guo’s factory, employees sometimes "just take a plastic bag and walk away" from the bulk sanitary napkins that have just been produced on the production line and haven’t been packed in time. Although these sanitary napkins are in bulk, there is no difference in quality and packaged sanitary napkins, and the purchase price is closer to the cost price, which is economical and cost-effective. This special form of purchase is limited to factory employees and is regarded as an employee welfare.

Another situation similar to this situation is that some "tail orders" that cannot be sold in time can also flow into the market through dealers. For example, Ms. Guo said that if a customer places an order for 10,000 bags and matches 10,000 packaging bags, but the calculation in production is not so fine, and there are hundreds or thousands more pieces, such sanitary napkins often have no quality risk, but the packaging is simple and they are collected by some "missing" buyers.

This statement was also confirmed by Yang Peng (a pseudonym), the person in charge of an online shop. Yang Peng told Litchi News that in addition to buying bulk sanitary napkins from regular sanitary napkin manufacturers for sale, he would also take apart some brand sanitary napkins with defective packaging but no quality problems and sell them separately.

Manufacturer: The sanitary towel industry is not a profiteering industry, and its profit rate is less than 10%.

The topic of "bulk sanitary napkins" ignited the discussion of "whether sanitary napkins are expensive or not" among netizens. The online sanitary towel industry is a profiteering industry with a profit rate as high as 50%-70%, which Ms. Guo denied.

Ms. Guo told Litchi News that the bare material cost of sanitary napkins is really not high.A high-quality bare 245mm sanitary towel is about 25-30 cents, plus packaging costs, labor costs, transportation costs, machine depreciation costs, factory rent, etc. As far as manufacturers are concerned, the profit rate is less than 10%, which is not a profiteering industry rumored by the outside world.

So, which link has opened the gap between different grades of sanitary napkins? Ms. Guo said that in terms of production channels, the gap between different grades of sanitary napkins is reflected in the use of materials and processes, but the premium may be quite different when entering the sales and circulation stage.

Another sanitary towel manufacturer revealed to Litchi News that because the raw materials of sanitary napkins are the same as those of masks, this year, due to the epidemic situation, the demand for masks has led to a sharp rise in the price of raw materials, and the cost of sanitary napkins has pushed up, and the factory has almost failed to maintain.

Yang Peng had previously worked as an agent for a famous domestic brand sanitary napkin. He said that although the market price of the famous domestic brand sanitary napkin was higher than that of the small brand, the difference between the ex-factory price and the market price was not big, and the profit of the distributor hovered around 8%-15%.

Tan Feng (pseudonym) is a wholesaler of daily chemical products in a third-tier city in Sichuan. A few years ago, she also purchased a large number of brand-name sanitary napkins for wholesale, and the business was very good. In recent years, she found it difficult to find a market for brand-name sanitary napkins, and she turned to selling well-known domestic brands-although the profit was not high.

According to Tan Feng’s analysis, on the one hand, because people’s living standards have improved, they are more cautious in choosing personal hygiene products. On the other hand, due to the continuous impact of e-commerce, many online stores purchase goods directly from manufacturers, which greatly reduces the cost of circulation, and has more price advantages than traditional purchase channels like hers. Brand sanitary napkins purchased from supermarkets are often higher than those purchased from online stores.

She believes that both the previous brand-name sanitary napkins and the current bulk sanitary napkins have a considerable sales volume, "indicating that low-priced sanitary napkins have always had a good market."

Expert: Sanitary napkins can be used as poverty alleviation products, and improving the treatment of women is the fundamental solution to menstrual poverty.

In fact, whether it is expensive or not is a relatively personal question. The reason why the topic can cause great discussion is that menstrual products are a necessity for women’s life besides commodity attributes. It is a unique burden brought by women’s physiological structure and should not be taken for granted by women.

At present, China collects the same 13% value-added tax on menstrual products as most ordinary goods. Some netizens have combed and found that more and more countries have paid more attention to menstrual poverty and made changes.

For example, Canada, Australia and most States in the United States have taken the lead in realizing tax exemption. Germany only levies a tax rate of 7%, and after Brexit, Britain promised to implement a tax exemption policy for this product at the end of January 2021; Among the less developed countries, India, Kenya and Malaysia have already realized tax exemption for menstrual products.

In addition to tax reduction or even tax exemption, some countries have also given another solution: free provision.

On February 25, 2020, Scotland passed a bill, becoming the first country in the world to provide menstrual physiological products to women all over the country free of charge. In new york, USA, menstrual supplies are provided in public schools, prisons and shelters, and these supplies are placed in places where they can be easily accessed.

Should sanitary napkins be reduced in price? Hong Tao, a professor at Beijing Technology and Business University, believes that sanitary napkins have their particularity, but they are still general commodities in essence, and the pricing of sanitary napkins should be determined by the market, not the government. Government-priced products are mainly aimed at daily necessities or very tight or strategic products.

Since it is market pricing, there will be quality price difference, quality price difference and link price difference, and even time price difference or regional price difference. "The link price difference of sanitary napkin industry should be allowed, otherwise no one will do this industry. The appropriate link price difference should exist, but it should not be too large."

Regarding the concern about "menstrual poverty" in the form of tax reduction proposed by netizens, Hong Tao said that tax reduction may not solve the price problem, and sanitary napkins can be considered as poverty alleviation products."Under the background of tackling poverty and realizing a well-off society in an all-round way this year, it can be included in the product content of consumer poverty alleviation and directly provided to female consumers in poverty-stricken areas for free."

In addition, Hong Tao believes that if we want to emphasize the particularity of sanitary towel products, we can use guiding prices, such as determining the highest price to protect the interests of consumers and determining the lowest price to protect the interests of producers. ??

"Of course, it is best to make full use of the market as the basis for allocating resources. Hong Tao said that under the current background, the market of sanitary napkins should be liberalized, and the quality difference, quality difference, regional difference and time difference of sanitary napkin products should be advocated. The responsibility of government market supervision is to supervise and manage the quality, quality, competitive environment and business environment of sanitary napkin products, and not to interfere too much in the market. "When the conditions are met, we can adopt or learn from the low tax, zero tax or free provision in some other countries. "

"This involves not only economic issues, but also political and social issues. This is not only a question of reducing prices and taxes, but also improving the treatment of women. For example, better ensuring equal pay for equal work and improving women’s status are the fundamental ways to solve women’s menstrual poverty. " Hong Tao said.

"Harbor Business Watch" Wang Xinyi

Left-handed car, right-handed mobile phone, and a rocket on the back. Geely Group’s current business can be described as getting busier and busier.

Looking closely at the automotive sector, the latest monthly car sales have declined year-on-year. On the new energy vehicle track, how can veteran Geely widen the gap with new forces?

01

Acquiring Meizu, Geely’s Rocket Dream "Ambition"

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Geely Group or Geely Automobile, 00175.HK) was founded in 1986. It started from the production of refrigerator parts and developed to the production of refrigerators, freezers, building and decoration materials and motorcycles. Until 1997, Geely Group officially entered the automotive industry. Five years later, in 2002, Geely Automobile had reached the top ten achievements of Chinese automobile enterprises.

According to public information, Geely Group currently owns Volvo Cars, Geely Automobile, Lynk & Co Automobile, Polestar, Proton Automobile, Lotus Automobile, London Electric Vehicle, Long-range New Energy Commercial Vehicle and other automobile brands. But unlike other private auto companies, Geely Group’s "ambitions" do not stop at automobiles.

On the afternoon of June 13, 2022, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced the case of Hubei Xingji Times Technology Co., Ltd. acquiring the equity of Zhuhai Meizu Technology Co., Ltd. According to the public information, Xingji Times has signed an agreement with Meizu Technology and the shareholders involved in the transaction, and Xingji Times intends to acquire 79.09% of the equity of Zhuhai Meizu and become the actual controlling person.

Hubei Xingji Times Technology Co., Ltd. is a mobile phone company under Geely. It was established in September 2021. According to relevant public information, Geely Mobile has established four new companies in May this year. But currently choosing to enter the mobile phone industry does not seem to be the best option.

The Prospective Industry Research Institute’s "China Mobile Phone Industry Market Prospect and Investment Forecast Analysis Report" shows that from 2018 to 2021, the proportion of domestic brand mobile phone shipments in total mobile phone shipments showed a downward trend, and the proportion of domestic mobile phone shipments in 2021 was 86.6%, the lowest point in the past four years.

The reason why Geely chose mobile phones, Li Shufu, chairperson of Geely Group, explained: "Mobile phones can connect vehicles to everything, satellite Internet, create rich consumption scenarios, and strengthen the ecosystem, which is conducive to building a user ecological chain, building a corporate moat, and better coordination with the automotive business."

If mobile phones are about better synergy with the car business, then Geely’s dream of "going to heaven" seems to be explained by this.

On April 17, 2020, Yang Xueliang, vice president of Geely Automobile Group, posted on Weibo: "Recruitment of rocket chief engineer, welcome to sign up, resume @Geely Recruitment." On June 2, 2022, Geely Automobile launched a rocket carrying a total of nine satellites.

In order to build a better intelligence system, Geely Group’s "buy buy buy" has involved many fields. Some people think that if you do too much, you forget to start a car, and the car is not good.

"This statement is in line with the fact that companies need to focus on their main business and avoid the dispersion of resources." Bai Wenxi, chief China economist at IPG, told Harbor Business Watch:"Geely’s acquisition model, whether it is the acquisition of a number of car companies before or the recent acquisition of Meizu in the mobile phone sector, can only be sustainable and enhance and strengthen the industrial chain and ecosystem of the enterprise if it realizes the specialization of the operation while diversifying the investment.

02

Sales volume is under pressure, net profit and net asset return continue to decline

Looking at the main business of Geely Group, the latest sales data of Geely Automobile does not seem to be satisfactory. According to Geely Automobile’s monthly report,The cumulative sales volume in the first five months of 2022 was 487,000, down 8% year-on-year. Among them, the sales volume in May was 89,100, down 7% year-on-year.

The difference is that Geely Automobile has achieved new breakthroughs in the field of new energy vehicles in the sub-sector. In May 2022, Geely Automobile sold 19,619 new energy vehicles, an increase of 304% year-on-year, an increase of 39% month-on-month, and a penetration rate of 22%.

Not only Geely Automobile’s new energy brand, the entire new energy vehicle industry has achieved good results in May. According to the latest data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China’s new energy vehicle sales in May were 447,000, an increase of 49.6% month-on-month and 105.2% year-on-year. The cumulative sales volume from January to May was 2.003 million, an increase of 111.2% year-on-year.

For new energy vehicles, the outside world has always held a high degree of popularity, and there is no shortage of optimism about new energy vehicles. Yu Fenghui, a famous economist and new finance expert, told Harbor Business Watch: "The replacement of fuel vehicles by new energy vehicles is definitely a direction. In the current situation where the oil price is about to exceed ten yuan per liter, it is an opportunity for new energy vehicles. Although the price of new energy vehicles is also rising, the price increase is a rigid cost and must be raised. If it does not rise, it will lose money. But new energy vehicles must be a development opportunity. It can be seen that although new energy vehicles are temporarily difficult, the pace of development of new energy vehicles deserves to be firmly optimistic."

For the capital markets, this year’s new car-making forces are on the rise. On March 10, 2022, NIO landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which is NIO’s second return to Hong Kong listing after the listing of US stocks. On March 17, Zero Run Auto submitted a prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. On June 1, Weimar Motor also chose to submit to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In the face of the new energy vehicle cake that the market is competing for, how can Geely Automobile join the list?

According to public information, Geely Automobile has Geely New Energy, Lynk & Co, Geometry, Proton, Lotus, Volvo New Energy and Extreme Krypton in the new energy sector. This year, Geely will add two new energy vehicle brands. On June 17, Geely’s new new energy brand RADAR held a brand launch. On June 21, Geely Ruilan brand will also be officially released. The official description of the brand is that it focuses on the positioning of "changing electricity and light travel".

Compared with the "back waves" of new energy vehicles, Bai Wenxi believes: "Geely Automobile is growing faster than itself in the field of new energy vehicles, but compared with other new energy and new power car companies, both in terms of core technology innovation ability and marketing seem to be slightly inferior, but Geely’s enterprise scale, industrial supporting and manufacturing capabilities will be stronger."

Look at Geely Automobile as a whole in recent years. In 2021, Geely Automobile achieved operating income of 101.611 billion yuan, which is the second time after 2018 that its revenue exceeded 100 billion yuan. In 2019 and 2020, Geely Automobile’s revenue was 97.401 billion and 92.114 billion respectively, showing a downward trend. Correspondingly, Geely Automobile has continued to decline in net profit attributable to its parent in the past three years.From 2019 to 2021, 8.19 billion, 5.534 billion and 4.847 billion.

Bai Wenxi said: "The reason why the revenue will exceed 100 billion again, while the profit of the parent company continues to decline, on the one hand, it may be related to the decline in the average gross profit margin caused by industry competition, and on the other hand, it may also be caused by the increase in the proportion of sales of low-margin products in the product structure caused by the adjustment of the company’s market strategy."

At the same time,Geely Automobile’s average return on net assets in the past three years has shown a significant downward trend, reaching 16.48%, 9.37% and 7.33% respectively.

Some market voices believe that the company’s net profit has continued to decline, as has the average return on net assets, which may reflect to some extent that the company’s profitability is weakening. How does the company plan to boost it? Harbor Business Watch contacted Geely Group to inquire about relevant issues, but did not receive a corresponding reply.

In addition to the decline in performance, in the capital markets, Geely Automobile has not been able to escape the decline shared by automakers this year. "Harbor Business Watch" found that from December 17, 2021 to June 17, 2022, six months, Geely Automobile fell by 35.13%.

(Geely Automobile’s share price trend in the past half year, picture source: Flush (300033))

Yu Fenghui said: "The decline is relatively normal. In the new energy vehicle sector, it is affected by raw materials, and traditional cars cannot escape the epidemic. One of Geely Automobile’s R & D centers is located in Shanghai, and under the influence of the epidemic, Shanghai has been under control for a period of time, which has a great impact on car companies. Including NIO, XPeng Motors, and Li Auto, the three major new energy vehicle brands listed on Wall Street have all experienced sharp declines."

03

Quality "hidden danger", vehicle recall four times a year

Looking at the complaints against new energy vehicle companies this year, the failure to deliver cars is definitely an important issue. In the current market environment, the global price of lithium and nickel has risen sharply, and the cost of building cars has increased, so that many car companies have delayed delivery.

The difference is that most car companies complained about the delay in delivery, which aroused consumer dissatisfaction, while Geely Automobile may have directly chosen to stop production and hoped that consumers would return the car. On the Black Cat complaint platform, there are consumer complaints: "I ordered a Geely Kung Fu Niu ordinary new energy passenger car in early February, and agreed to deliver the car in April. In June, the dealer told me that there was no car and asked me to return the car. However, since March, the price of new energy vehicles has increased by nearly 10,000 yuan, the waiting time and the cost of buying a car have increased significantly, and the manufacturer has forced the car to return, causing serious losses to consumers."

After searching by "Harbor Business Watch", it was found that there was not only one such complaint. Is the company’s production still greatly affected by macro factors? Is the company’s vehicle production normal? "Harbor Business Watch" contacted Geely Group and did not receive any response.

(Source: FM1031 Jinan Traffic Radio)

On the Black Cat complaint platform, Harbor Business Watch searched Geely Automobile and found that as of June 17, 2022, the company had 393 complaints on Black Cat complaints, 9 had been replied, 7 had been completed, and the completion rate was less than 2%. Including complaints about the quality of the transmission and engine.

"The gearbox was damaged after driving 29,000 kilometers, which caused the gear to change to neutral. The product had serious quality problems. It broke down during use. It caused road hazards. Serious quality problems threatened personal safety. The manufacturer refused to solve the quality problem on the grounds that the product was out of warranty."

"My car is about 48,000 kilometers long. During heavy rain, the windows automatically fell (twice in a row), causing water to accumulate in the car. The next day, the gearbox failure light came on, causing the engine to fail to start normally."

Quality problems do seem to be a long-standing "hidden danger". According to Qichacha, Zhejiang Haoqing Automotive Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (100% owned by Geely Group) has had four vehicle recalls due to quality problems in 2021. There have been 14 recalls since 2019.

The most recent recall of vehicles occurred on April 7, 2022. A total of 18,031 vehicles were recalled for some 2016 Geely Vision GC7 vehicles produced from January 27, 2016 to November 26, 2016. The reason is: During the driving of the vehicle under specific working conditions (long uphill and rapid acceleration), the transmission oil pot may leak oil, and the spilled oil may cause fire in the case of fire source, which poses a safety hazard.

Whether Geely Group’s "buy buy buy" model can really construct a more comprehensive system of self-occupied vehicles to everything is unknown, but the current product after-sales complaints have not been replied, and the product has been recalled frequently, which urgently needs to be rectified.
