Everything has two sides; what once brought extraordinary benefits can become a fatal shackle. This is the case for Hongjiu Fruit, the 'first fruit stock.'

Now, less than two years later, Hongjiu Fruit is mired in delayed annual reports, auditor resignations, founder's pledged shares, and store closures and layoffs.

伯虎团队Earning 2.6 Billion in 3 Months, Is Big Spender Pinduoduo Still Saving?
Last week, good news came from overseas for Chinese internet stocks: Alibaba and Baidu rose over 14% on May 26, and Pinduoduo surged over 15% on Friday, leading a strong finish for the sector. These companies released their first-quarter earnings, with Pinduoduo's standout being its profitability. As the '618' shopping festival approaches, Pinduoduo's 'hundred billion subsidy' campaign continues, but the company has entered a phase of normalized profitability, driven by cost-cutting rather than revenue growth.
