Black Sesame's New Energy 'Pipe Dream'
Black Sesame has been chasing a new energy dream for seven years. In 2017, it invested in a joint venture for new energy projects, but saw no results.

However, a closer look at its financial data reveals that the rosy results may not be normal. Net cash flow from operating activities turned negative again, dropping from 246 million yuan in the first three quarters of 2016 to -287 million yuan in the same period this year. The company attributes this significant change to increased cash payments for grain acquisitions. Further analysis shows that the cash flow deficit is largely due to the acquisitions of Zhijiang Liquor and Guizhou Chun in previous years.

After listing, Chacha Food resisted temptation and continued to focus on its core business of roasted seeds. As of 2016, the sunflower seed business remained the company's absolute mainstay, contributing over 70% of revenue. Don't underestimate sunflower seeds; their gross margin exceeds 30%, which is more profitable than some seemingly impressive industries.
