Investment proposal and investment object

Condiment: it is suggested to pay attention to the individual stocks that have a smooth implementation of price increase due to industry pattern and product characteristics and have little impact on sales volume, as well as the individual stocks that are more likely to fall in subsequent costs, have large profit elasticity after cost fall and are expected to retain the price increase effect, such as Angel Yeast Co.Ltd(600298) (600298, buy), Chongqing Fuling Zhacai Group Co.Ltd(002507) (002507, not rated).
