[Introduction] Implement again! Gree Electric spent 3 billion yuan to buy back shares within 2 months.

Gree Electric (000651) completed the repurchase plan again.

On the evening of January 1, 2024, Gree Electric announced that by December 29, 2023, the company had completed the share repurchase plan, with a total purchase of 91.898 million shares, accounting for 1.63% of the total share capital, and invested 3 billion yuan.

Four consecutive top-level repurchases

According to the previous buyback plan, the buyback range of Gree Electric is 1.5 billion-3 billion yuan. Judging from the actual completion, the company has implemented the aforementioned buyback plan.

Judging from the implementation progress, this round of repurchase in Gree Electric is quite rapid. Since the release of the repurchase program on October 30, the company has completed the repurchase task in only two months.

Specifically, the first repurchase occurred on November 7, and the single-day repurchase amount was 36.6946 million yuan; As of December 11, the cumulative repurchase amount reached 2.013 billion yuan, and the number of shares repurchased exceeded 1% of the total share capital; In the following more than half a month, nearly 1 billion yuan was repurchased again until the repurchase plan was implemented on December 29.

At present, all the shares repurchased this time are deposited in the special securities account for repurchase, and Gree Electric will use the opportunity to implement the equity incentive or employee stock ownership plan.

The reporter of Securities Times E Company noticed that including this repurchase, Gree Electric has implemented four repurchases since 2020, and all of them have successfully completed the plan, with a total repurchase amount of about 30 billion yuan. Specifically, the first three buybacks were concentrated in 2020-2021, and the planned buybacks were 3 billion-6 billion yuan, 3 billion-6 billion yuan, and 7.5 billion-15 billion yuan, respectively, and the final buybacks all reached the upper limit of 6 billion yuan, 6 billion yuan, and 15 billion yuan.

During this repurchase period, some senior executives in Gree Electric also bought. The announcement shows that Deng Xiaobo, the company’s director, vice president and secretary-general, bought 7,000 shares of the company during the repurchase period, and Duan Xiufeng, the supervisor, bought 156,300 shares. Gree Electric said that the above two people’s stock trading behavior is their investment decision based on market public information and personal judgment.

In the secondary market, since the release of the repurchase program, Gree Electric’s share price has declined slightly, with an interval drop of about 5.5%, and it recently closed at 32.17 yuan/share, with a market value of 181.2 billion yuan.

The performance in 2023 rose steadily.

Behind Gree Electric’s frequent repurchase program is its strong financial strength and steady performance.

Gree Electric has always been famous for its "cash cows". By the end of the third quarter of 2023, the balance of book monetary funds in Gree Electric reached 181.989 billion yuan. In terms of shareholder feedback, since its listing in 1996, the company has accumulated dividends of over 139 billion yuan, including cash dividends of over 110 billion yuan.

In December 2023, Gree Electric released its annual performance forecast, and it is estimated that its revenue will reach 205-210 billion yuan in 2023, up by 7.8%-10.4% year-on-year; It is estimated that the net profit will be 27 billion to 29.3 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 10.2% to 19.6%; The net profit after deducting non-profit was 26.1 billion-27.8 billion yuan, an increase of 8.8%-15.9% year-on-year; The basic earnings per share was 4.82 yuan/share-23 yuan/share, up 8.8%-18.1% year-on-year.

Regarding the reasons for the steady increase in performance, Gree Electric said that the company has always focused on the main business of air conditioning, adhered to the guidance of consumer demand, enriched product categories, and actively expanded sales channels; At the same time, we will continue to carry out industrial transformation and continue to exert our strength in diversified fields such as high-end equipment, industrial products and green energy, providing growth momentum for performance.

On December 19, 2023, Gree Electric announced that it planned to acquire 24.54% shares of existing shareholders of Gree Titanium New Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gree Titanium"), a holding subsidiary, at a price of 1.015 billion yuan, and will hold 72.47% shares of Gree Titanium after the equity delivery is completed; According to the plan, Gree Electric will take the opportunity to acquire the remaining shares of Gree Titanium in the next 12 months, with the transfer ratio not exceeding 27.53%.

As an important layout of Gree Electric’s new energy sector, Gree Titanium is mainly engaged in research and development, production and sales of lithium titanate battery core materials, batteries, intelligent energy storage systems and new energy vehicles. At present, its new energy commercial vehicles have been operated in more than 230 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Tianjin, Wuhan and Zhuhai. Since it was included in the consolidated statements of listed companies in 2021, the business scale and gross profit of Gree Titanium have been greatly improved. In 2022, it achieved revenue of 2.587 billion yuan and gross profit of 413 million yuan, with year-on-year growth rates of 27.69% and 230.2% respectively.

Gree Electric said that its industries cover two major fields: household consumer goods and industrial equipment, and are currently diversifying along the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Specifically, it extends upward to compressors, motors, chips, enameled wires, copper rods, capacitors, etc., and extends downward to the green recycling of waste household appliances, and cuts into the industrial chain of new energy vehicles, energy storage and battery manufacturing equipment through acquisitions, etc., realizing independent control of core components.

Original title: "Gree Electric, Re-implementation"

Read the original text

Tachibana found that it is really difficult for humans to learn from each other.

Why do you have this emotion?

Let’s start with today’s two hot searches.

Just looking at the title makes people confused about the two hot searches.

In fact, these two hot searches are all talking about the same thing, that is, in the "Extreme Challenge Treasure Line" broadcast last night, singer Liu Yuning picked a snow lotus flower according to the program team’s guidelines, which was pointed out by netizens as a national second-class rare plant jellyfish snow rabbit.

What are the consequences of illegally picking and destroying state-level protected plants?

According to the "Forest Law", the sentence should be fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention or public surveillance.

The picking of more than two plants is considered serious and shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and a fine.

Unfortunately, each of the three guests in the show had just entered the ranks of "serious circumstances".

Could it be that another guest is going to face a lawsuit because of the variety show?

Tachibana will first give you a popular science about what a jellyfish snow rabbit is.

Jellyfish Snow Rabbit, also known as Ganqing Snow Lotus, is a precious medicinal material that grows very slowly and in rare quantities. It usually grows in areas above 4,500 meters in altitude. It is listed in the "National Key Protected Wild Plants List (Exposure Draft) " and is listed as a national second-class protected plant.

But it is worth noting that the jellyfish snow rabbit is only included in the "exposure draft", which means that the jellyfish snow rabbit is not an official national second-class protected plant at present.

(Although the list of national key protected plants has not been updated for 20 years)

So is the behavior of the "Extreme Challenge" program team reasonable?

No.

Snow Lotus’s Baidu entry clearly states:

Since 2000, the State Council has banned the mining of wild snow lotus.

In last night’s "Extreme Pick", the program team also spent more than ten minutes showing the process of picking snow lotus by the three guests.

Even gave a close-up.

If the picture is not obvious, please upload the moving picture to everyone.

The guest could clearly be seen pulling out the snow lotus.

In fact, this behavior could have been avoided.

When looking for Snow Lotus, Liu Yuning took out his mobile phone and prepared to search for Snow Lotus.

Maybe he saw the ban on picking snow lotus when he searched?

The result…

Died without a network.

Then Liu Yuning issued an apology, saying that the snow rabbits they picked were props prepared by the program team.

The original intention was to "promote Tibet through the process of going through hardships and finally obtaining treasures."

Tachibana was actually a little confused when he saw this. Is there any direct connection between picking snow lotus and promoting Tibet?

Isn’t this a wrong demonstration, making the audience feel that there is no problem with picking the snow lotus?

This is not a superfluous concern.

What’s more, the program never mentioned the use of snow lotus to promote Tibet, let alone the protection of snow lotus.

In the process of finding the snow lotus, he only said that "the precious snow lotus has to work hard".

After exchanging the snow lotus for the game prop "holy water" at the end of the show, the intention of the program team also fell into the "spirit of poverty alleviation in the new era".

Even the symbolic flower is the gesang flower instead of the snow lotus.

From beginning to end, the only thing mentioned was the preciousness of snow lotus. Only the village cadres said when arranging the task, "Snow lotus is a precious treasure in our village".

Then the program team turned around and asked the guests to pick snow lotus in exchange for holy water.

What is the preciousness of snow lotus?

After reading the orange, I will only think of this snow lotus, as long as you can resist altitude sickness, just pick it.

Let’s talk about the controversy over whether this Snow Rabbit is a prop for the program team.

In fact, long before the broadcast of the program, Liu Yuning had posted a selfie of holding a snow rabbit on Weibo.

At that time, some netizens pointed out that this is not an ordinary snow lotus, but a cherished jellyfish snow rabbit

(Once again, it is illegal to pick any variety of snow lotus without permission!!!)

Liu Yuning responded in the comment area that this is not true, but a prop.

I thought this was the end of it, but after the program was broadcast yesterday, it was hammered by professionals in the biological field.

Head teacher botanist: "I would like to know the prop master who has different roots, leaves and flowers."

Netizen: Craftsman-level craftsmanship in a big country.

Guangming Daily named: The number is extremely rare, and scientists are reluctant to even collect specimens for scientific research.

(As a result, you picked up three.)

The experts have all been certified, why does Liu Yuningfang still insist on being a prop for the program team?

In the end, Lemon Xylan, a teaching assistant at the School of Biology at Long Island University, gave the answer:

The props are indeed props, but they are also stuck in the cracks of the stones with real jellyfish snow rabbits for the guests to pick.

That is to say, the program team illegally bought jellyfish snow rabbits sold locally, and placed them in the stone seam area in advance to guide the guests to pick them. In the eyes of the guests, it was indeed a prop, and the program team was suspected of purchasing state-protected plants.

Some people will say that it is also the problem of the local seller, and the program team does not know that it is a second-level protected jellyfish snow rabbit.

Tachibana didn’t want to say the cliché "no sale, no killing". As a TV variety show with high ratings, "Extreme Pick" conveyed to the audience that it should protect, not destroy and pick cherished plants that were clearly stipulated not to be picked.

What’s more, who can guarantee that if the local can’t buy it, the program team won’t really pick snow lotus to make props?

What’s more, due to the illegal sale and purchase of jellyfish snow rabbits caused a heated debate, "Extreme Pick" is not the first one.

As early as last year, a wild food blogger @Wild Food Brother caused a heated debate by cooking instant noodles with snow rabbits in a video.

He later deleted the video and apologized, saying that the snow rabbits used to cook noodles were picked after seeing that they could be purchased locally, and it was not clear how cherished the snow rabbits were.

(Now he has deleted the video and apologized.)

Can’t help but suspect that this extremely provocative storm will be slowly forgotten by everyone like the wild food brother, what should the program team do?

Speaking of the program team.

From last night’s broadcast to now, apart from Liu Yuning’s apology, the official blog of "Extreme Challenge" did not respond, and the episode of Cai Xuelian was not removed from the shelves.

He even deleted the dynamics of a small video of the process of picking snow lotus that was originally released.

Not only that, but also two words that looked unfamiliar and familiar crept up the hot search.

That’s right, it’s the Thai endangered species that was accidentally eaten in South Korea’s "Kim Byung-man’s Law of the Jungle", the (che) clam (qu).

It turned out that someone pointed out that in another program of Oriental Satellite TV, "Perfect Summer", Wu Xuanyi and other guests used scissors to smash the tridacna that caused a storm before.

Then the whistleblower clarified: It’s just an oolong, and the show is not a clam but an oyster.

At this time, this kind of oolong is still on the hot search. It is difficult not to suspect that it is blocking the gun for a show that really hurts cherished plants.

(Not in content)

Looking back at the series of operations in "Extreme Pick" since Go LIVE, you will find that it is simply a basic operation to cause trouble and push the guest to block the gun.

As early as going LIVE, Jituan had a hot search because of plagiarism.

Friends who like to watch Han Zong have discovered that the new season’s extremely picky games are simply the shadow of "New Journey to the West" everywhere.

Whether it’s a classic cone cap kick?

Or mc Jiang Hudong’s faceless male style?

Even Kyuhyun’s lamp god shape, which was frequently cued because of his participation in "Masked Singer King", was copied one by one.

The obvious and blunt plagiarism was laughed at by Korean netizens.

After plagiarism became a hot search, the accounts of suspected members of the producer were pulled out.

Not only arrogant, but also not ashamed of plagiarism.

Also complacent with audience ratings.

What kind of socially responsible content can a production team of this quality expect it to produce?

The last sentence.

To the "Extremely Pick" team:

Can’t the punishment of the production team of "Kim Byung-wan’s Law of the Jungle" sound a wake-up call for you?
