Risk tip: the impact of epidemic or extreme weather is higher than expected, and the terminal sales are weak due to the slowdown of macroeconomic growth; The cost control is less than expected; Intensified online competition, increased traffic costs and ineffective expansion of some platforms have resulted in less than expected growth or impaired profitability; Inventory backlog.
