Judging from the list released by the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration, the 31 cosmetics companies on the list are all located in Guangdong Province, mainly in Guangzhou and Foshan.
It is worth noting that Guangdong Aojie Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Foshan Mingge Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Yucai Cosmetics Co., Ltd., and Guangdong Kaixiu Cosmetics Co., Ltd. in the list are all "frequent visitors" on the list of punishments and unqualified sampling.
Among them, Mingge Biotech was fined twice this year, with a cumulative fine of 45,000 yuan, and Yucai Company, a "habitual offender" of hair dyeing products, was notified 7 times; Kaixiu Company will have 3 batches of seaweed masks in 2023 that will fail to pass the random inspection.

E-commerce platforms loosen the "refund only" to optimize after-sales
The topic of "refund only" has been on the hot search many times, on the one hand, it is applauded by the platform merchants, and on the other hand, it is questioned by consumers, which can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
At the end of July, Taobao, Pinduoduo and other platforms updated after-sales rules, optimized the "refund-only" strategy, improved the after-sales autonomy of merchants, and reduced or canceled after-sales intervention for high-quality stores.
It is reported that "refund only" was first launched by Pinduoduo as a consumer service strategy, if consumers are not satisfied with the goods, they can apply for a refund directly without sending the goods back. Subsequently, platforms such as JD.com, Taobao, and Douyin also began to follow up on this service at the end of 2023, and "refund-only" quickly became the standard in the e-commerce industry.
Industry insiders said that the original intention of the service policy was to protect the rights and interests of users, reduce the trouble of returns, and force merchants to improve the quality of goods and services. For example, if Taobao has too many bad reviews or violations, is complained by consumers, or the seller delays or forces delivery without the buyer's permission, the system will support the buyer to refund only.
Douyin, on the other hand, clearly stipulates that if the praise rate of the product is less than 70%, the platform has the right to take measures to support the after-sales application of the product transaction order to support the consumer to only refund and return the refund including the shipping fee.
If the goods delivered by the merchant to the consumer on the JD platform have a large number of problems such as inferior quality, inconsistent descriptions, and abnormal packages, the platform has the right to decide whether to agree to refund only.
It can be seen that the original intention of the establishment of each platform was mainly to provide better protection for the rights and interests of consumers. However, from the current point of view, "refund only" continues to cause controversy, and has even become synonymous with "wool picking", which has fueled the arrogance of the "white prostitution party" to a certain extent.

Sun Huaiqing cashed out 300 million, and Marubeni's stock price fell
On the evening of July 31, Marubeni Co., Ltd. issued an announcement on the Shanghai Stock Exchange to reduce its shareholdings. Sun Huaiqing, the main body of this reduction, is the largest shareholder of Marubeni with more than 5% of the shares, with a shareholding ratio of 72.72%, and all of them were obtained before the IPO, due to personal capital needs.
According to the announcement, during the period from August 26 to November 25, 2024, Sun Huaiqing, the controlling shareholder, actual controller, chairman and CEO of Marubeni, plans to reduce the number of shares of the company, with a total of no more than 12.03 million shares, no more than 3% of the company's total share capital, and the amount of cash calculated according to the stock price is close to 300 million yuan, and the reduction method is to use centralized bidding and block trading. Among them, within any consecutive 90 days, the total number of holdings reduced by centralized auction trading shall not exceed 1% of the total number of shares, and the block trading method shall not exceed 2%. Marubeni also emphasized that during the shareholding reduction plan, if there are any matters involving changes in shares, such as share gifts, capital reserve conversion to share capital, etc., there will be corresponding adjustments. Since its listing in 2019, Marubeni has fallen into a dilemma such as continuous decline in performance, the inability of the main brand Marubeni to sell, and the decline in stock price. Not only that, in the early days of its listing, Marubeni's market value once surpassed Proya in the capital market, and briefly topped the market value of A-share cosmetics, with a market value of more than 33 billion yuan at its peak, but there are frequent negative news of stock price declines. According to Xueqiu, Marubeni shares opened lower in the stock market. And judging from the monthly K-line, Marubeni's stock price has been declining since the end of May, which shows that its performance in the capital market is not good. As of August 22, the market value of Marubeni's shares was only 8.934 billion yuan, a difference of three times from its peak. (Details)
