Pay attention to the repeated impact of the epidemic in the short term, and pay attention to the development of ussu and product portfolio in the medium and long term. The short-term epidemic situation repeatedly affects the transportation and beer consumption scenarios.

The sales volume in the first three quarters was + 42% year-on-year. Although the revenue growth of Q4 company slowed down as a whole (year-on-year + 1.1%), it is expected to grow rapidly throughout the year.

At present, the company has built a “local + international” brand combination, including Lebao, Carlsberg 1664 and other brand products are quite attractive, and it is expected to form coordinated development in the future. Yangfan 22 strategy has entered the closing year, and Yangfan 27 will appear in the future. We are optimistic about the company’s “continued success”.
