It is recommended that Zhejiang Weixing Industrial Development Co.Ltd(002003) , Wuhu Fuchun Dye And Weave Co.Ltd(605189) , Huali Industrial Group Company Limited(300979) . Jewellery:

Throughout the year, gold consumption demand was strong and sustainable. We paid attention to Guangdong Chj Industry Co.Ltd(002345) , Chow Tai Seng Jewellery Company Limited(002867) , which had greater flexibility in opening stores, and were optimistic about Chow Tai Fook, a leader in Hong Kong stocks with strong certainty for a long time.
