Secondly, the marketing method used by Darry Ring, i.e., new media marketing, will be one of the strengths for its future development. Thirdly, DR's existing sales model will help it improve its market sensitivity. However, with the used of organizational behavior theory, over-reliance on “Ture Love Marketing” will reduce customer brand loyalty to Darry Ring. And it might become a serious hidden problem in the future development of Darry Ring. The conclusion is that the "True Love Marketing" is not only an opportunity for Darry Ring, but also a pitfall.

    How does the Economic Development Level Cause Difference in the Gender Income Gap: Comparative Political-Economic Research Based on the USA and India

    Since the middle of the 1970s, the variance of the global GDP per capita in the logarithm of PPP prices has been declining. It grew from 1960 to 1968. Later, the growth in intra-country inequality was more than countered by the convergence of income between nations. Two-thirds of the measures of inequality in the world are between nations, three tenths are between families within nations, and twenty percent are variations in gender-based educational outcomes between nations. By contrasting a few situations, this essay seeks to clarify the connection between economic growth and the gender wage gap. Comparing the size of the gender pay gap in nations with various levels of economic development using the USA and India as examples. Then, from three aspects, education, culture, and feminism, and specific policies for reducing the gender income gap, how the variance of economic development level leads to the difference in the gender income gap will be explained and evaluated.

    Research on the Comparison of Sampling with and Without Replacement in Quality Control Test

    The choice of a reasonable and scientific sampling method and the implementation of efficient quality control tests can help companies achieve economic and social benefits. In this paper, probability theory and statistics are applied to provide a basis for enterprises to consider the choice of sampling with and without replacement through case studies and modeling. These two sampling methods lead to binomial and hypergeometric distributions of probabilities, respectively. The differences between them are found to be negligible in the case of large population size by calculations at N→∞. Based on comparison of sampling methods, this paper further divides the manufacturing industry into the chemical industry, which is sensitive to the reliability of quality control test, and other manufacturing industries, which are more sensitive to cost while controlling quality. In the end, suggestions are proposed for improving quality control tests for the category industries respectively.

    The Impact of Public Resource Allocation on Housing Prices – Taking Chengdu as an Example

    This paper examines the impact of public resource allocation on housing prices and uses Chengdu as an example for analysis. By comparing education, healthcare, and transportation in each district of Chengdu, the study finds that public resource allocation and housing prices in Chengdu are positively correlated and that education and healthcare resources are more strongly correlated with property prices. Both public resources and property prices in Chengdu show a general trend of "circle + radial" diffusion, decreasing from the first to the third circle. After comparing the public resources and property prices in each district, it is clear that there is still a large gap between districts. This paper argues that the government should increase the construction of public resources and optimize talent policies in the surrounding areas in order to alleviate the disparity between districts, disperse the pressure on public resources in each district in the first circle, and promote coordinated urban development.

    Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Private Equity Risk Management

    Small and medium-sized enterprises are playing an important role in Chinese economic development. However, due to the lag in system construction, the scale of small and medium-sized enterprises is relatively small; many of these enterprises lack funds, and it is difficult to get loans. The financing difficulty of small and medium-sized enterprises always exists in China, which has become an important reason restricting their further development. In the past, smes used to borrow money from banks to finance their development. They have been borrowing from banks with their assets as collateral, but as the country has adopted a tight monetary policy, most of the loans applied for by smes have been rejected by banks. Private equity fund has the characteristics of low financing threshold and high added value of enterprises, helping many small and medium-sized enterprises to solve the capital problem, enabling them to develop and grow. In the process of private equity fund financing, the macro environment and micro factors bring huge risks to the whole financing process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate, analyze and control every risk that may cause financing failure in the financing process. This paper uses the method of literature review, qualitative and quantitative combination, through the construction of small and medium-sized enterprise private equity fund investment risk evaluation index system, from the micro and macro environment to evaluate and analyze the risk, for the analysis of small and medium-sized enterprises may face financing risk to provide effective avoidance measures.

    Analysis on McDonald's Localization Strategy

    McDonald's is a company that was established in 1940 in the United States. Since then, the company has grown in different parts of the world and increased its profitability over time. However, McDonald's has also faced a lot of challenges, including the lack of understanding of cultures in different countries, which resulted in its poor performance. Without completely understanding what the local people think about food, McDonald's expanded its operations to different parts of the world while carrying the culture of the United States to those parts. As a result, the company performed poorly and was unable to expand its operations further. However, through localization strategies, McDonald's has gradually become one of the world's most successful restaurants and food chains. This paper introduces McDonald's localization strategies from five aspects, namely its menu, business model, advertising translation, staff management, and market pricing. To conclude, the company has been able to adapt its menu to be in line with the local culture, and the prices are set according to the local economy. What is more, the localized translation and management also enable the company to avoid and timely solve the problems that are specific to a region. The localization strategies have made McDonald's one of the world’s most successful fast food companies.

    Impact of COVID-19 on Cost and Profitability---Taking the Service Agency for Studying Abroad as an Example

    After the outbreak of COVID-19 since the beginning of 2020, people were more cautious about the decision to study abroad. Objectively, it was difficult for people to get visas and buy air tickets because of the inconvenience of going abroad caused by the fuse of flights. Subjectively, people were worried about COVID-19 infection, so they tried to avoid leaving their country. As an intermediary, the business mode and the profit model of service agencies for studying abroad were also affected to some degree. In order to figure out how the costs and profitability changes according to COVID-19, many researchers had done some investigations on students who are prone to study abroad. From the perspective of economics, the costs of agencies were found to be rising significantly due to the uncertainty of COVID-19. It included fixed cost, sunk cost, opportunity cost and variable cost. But from another perspective, if an agency could adapt to the new situation as quickly as possible and grasp the new opportunities to offer a wider range of services, it might greatly increase its profits instead. Faced with this, agencies should focus on improving service quality and constantly expanding new service, such as language courses, career planning and internship training. Through cooperation with more high-level universities and famous enterprises at home and abroad, they could provide customers with more comprehensive services, as well as gain more profits.

    The Influences of Pricing Based on Consumer Preference---Taking the ‘Hype Shoes’ Phenomenon as an Example

    In recent years, the phenomenon of “hype shoes” has attracted more and more attention. The “hype shoes” uses consumer preferences to make special pricing and make money on the price difference. To understand how consumer preferences influence pricing strategy, many studies have dissected consumer preferences from the producer’s perspective. In this paper, we analyzed whether a firm’s pricing strategy is reasonable from an economic perspective, and also clarify the importance of consumer preferences in business competition. There are many economic principles behind this phenomenon and it is worth reflecting on them. Studies have found that consumers’ age, gender, occupation and even body size can be used as pricing factors by businesses. Therefore, once a company has more information about a consumer, it can provide personalized services to the consumer, and on the other hand it may use big data discriminatory pricing (BDDP) to earn more money. Through the analysis of the “hype shoes” phenomenon, businesses should learn to correctly grasp consumer preferences and then raise pricing appropriately based on cost. Finally, businesses should know how to properly invest in market research to obtain more consumer data and ultimately adopt a successful pricing strategy.

    Research on China's Economic Situation and Future Expectations under the Epidemic

    The outbreak of the new crown epidemic in 2020 has had a huge impact on societies and economies around the world. The economic downturn has been the norm for the last two years, but it is still important to stay on target and grow. As the world's second largest economy, China's economic development and the factors affecting it in the event of an epidemic are particularly crucial. It is also relevant to sustainable development. This paper examines the extent to which the factors affect the economy through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The current state of the Chinese economy and expectations for future development are analyzed two main topics, the situation of the Chinese economy, and the future development of China and the Sustainable Development Goal. The ratios show that consumption is the main factor influencing the economy. This is followed by unemployment, investment and even taxation. Also comparing the way the US and China stimulate consumption, the conclusion is that because of the different national conditions, the way to stimulate the economy will be different. Finally, in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 8.1 sustainable development goals, it is difficult to achieve an economic growth rate of at least 7% by 2030 because of the unstable economic situation and the constant blow of the epidemic. However, there is a positive expectation for China's future economic development and the economy will gradually recover. There is still a need for a strong development in technology and new energy economy to reach the sustainable development goals.

    Will Specific Consumer Traits Affect Shopping Behavior, under the Condition of Influencer Marketing?

    This article will mainly talk about the analysis of influencer marketing. We will discuss this topic in 3 different parts, which are gender, age, and location. The data showed that females are generally more affected by influencer marketing, and people under the age of 26 are more affected by influencer marketing.

In addition, our research outcome could help brands decide which kind of consumers they should implement influencer marketing to achieve the best results.

The results of the study show a result contrary to the hypothesis that the real estate markets in China and the United States recovered after a period of recession and were able to reach higher levels than before the epidemic. Based on this result, the paper analyzes the causes of the impact on the real estate markets in China and the United States. There is evidence that the main causes affecting the Chinese real estate market are real estate policies and cultural phenomena, while the factors behind the impact on the U.S. real estate market are economic policies and epidemic management strategies.

    The Impact of Status Quo Bias on People’s Choices

    In behavioral economics, status quo bias is a cognitive bias that refers to when people are faced with the choice of maintaining the status quo versus making changes. People tend to maintain the current state rather than take actions to change it. The existence of status quo bias challenges the traditional economic hypothesis that people are rational. In this essay, we show the impact of status quo bias on people’s decision-making, and its possible impacts through three experiments, namely, beverage manufacturers’ new products, elections, and food preferences. Our analysis proves that managers need to fully consider people’s preferences for the status quo when launching new products, and then appropriately reduce their estimates of expected profits to ensure the accuracy of forecasts.

    Analysis of Factors Influencing the Development of China's Insurance Industry

    The insurance industry is closely linked to individual interests and the overall economy of the country. Nowadays, in the context of Covid-9, the stable development of the insurance industry is particularly important. However, much of the literature focuses on the role of the insurance industry in economic development, but there are few studies that focus on the industry in general and analyze the impact factors of the insurance industry itself from multiple perspectives. To fill the academic gap in the overview of the insurance industry and better promote its future development, this paper explores the role of seven factors such as economic growth, inflation, disposable income of the population, and the scale of social security on the development of the insurance industry from three aspects: macro, micro, and China-specific social background conditions. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant domestic and international literature in recent years, this paper concludes that: economic growth, higher individual disposable income and better legal system and regulation have a positive effect on the development of the insurance industry; inflation inhibits the insurance industry development. The effects of demographics, social security size and residents' education level on China’s insurance industry are somewhat complicated.

    The Analysis of the Marketing Strategy of Kering Group

    Luxury is now defined internationally as a unique, scarce consumer good that is beyond the scope of people's existence and is known as a non-essential item. Because of its scarcity and uniqueness, there is always a group of people in life who are obsessed with buying the hottest and latest items of the moment. They share details, photos, and more on social media. This article evaluates three marketing strategies used by the Kering Group, biodiversity strategy measures, diverse business strategy, and Sustainable Development Strategy. Developing sustainable development strategy and biodiversity strategy measures not only enhances its reputation but also effectively protects the environment. In the past, many consumers often associated environmental pollution with fashionable clothing. There is no denying that fashion clothing does have a significant impact on the environment. According to statistics, the fashion industry has been found to be responsible for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and it is one of the four largest sources of pollution in the world. A diverse business strategy can not only diversifies risks but also bring more consumer experience to consumers.

    Is Willingness for Organic Agriculturepractice Adequate and Well-supported? Evidence from China Based on AMO Theory

    The Chinese government is promoting and publicizing organic farming to address the environmental problems that arise from using chemical materials in agriculture. Nevertheless, these promotions and propaganda are impractical at the current stage, and the willingness to adopt organic farming by farmers is unrevealed. This paper aims to investigate the main factors influencing the adoption of organic farming by developing a scale and conducting interviews through AMO theory. Twenty self-owned agribusiness owners from Anhui province were selected in our study, seven of whom were given in-depth interviewed and 13 of whom were given designed questionnaire. Through the research, we found that the participants had limited interest in organic agriculture and consistently believed that organic farming in China is only a public stunt. Participant indicates that the company's agriculture is not technologically advanced enough, and the cultivation method is mainly manual. The market for organic products is also quite scarce, and the willingness of consumers to buy organic products is extremely low. The reputation and certification process of organic certification organizations need to be improved.

    Price dispersion in the phenomenon of big data discriminatory pricing (BDDP)

    Theoretically, competition between firms producing homogeneous products would lead to price convergence. However, there is persistent price dispersion in real markets for homogeneous products. Many scholars have built models from different perspectives to explain the existence of price dispersion in retail markets. Moreover, this price dispersion still exists after entering the Internet era. My paper builds a model based on the phenomenon of many monopolies charging different prices to consumers through big data discriminatory pricing (BDDP) since entering the Internet Big Data era to find price dispersion equilibrium from the perspective of firms. My model adds some variables to a Varian-style model in which consumers are divided into three types and firms charge different prices to maximise profits. Moreover, my study simplifies the actual market situation and is theoretically ideal. It does not perform a multi-stage analysis of consumer switching costs and consideration of consumers entering and leaving the market. However, my paper provides some ideas for subsequent research on price dispersion in Internet monopolies and provides a direction for multi-stage research.

    Analysis of the Factors Influencing the Box Office of Domestic Animated Films

    This paper mainly discusses the influencing factors of domestic animation film box office. In the early days, the domestic animation market was mainly occupied by American animated films. Although development was difficult, domestic animation films have undergone many changes in the 21st century. To help people better understand the development status and market situation of domestic animated films, this experiment aims to study the influencing factors of box office. This experiment takes 5 influencing factors that are easy to quantify as research objects: genre, production method, duration, release schedule and rating. Data on these factors can be found online and processed. Preliminary processed data is then drawn into charts. To be rigorous, this experiment also makes linear regression analysis on some influencing factors to see the relationship between box office and factors. The study finds a moderate correlation between box office and duration, and a weak correlation between rating. 3D animated films generally outperform 2D films at the box office. Animated films that focus on "family" have lower box office receipts than films in other genres. Movies released during the summer and Spring Festival outperform those released during other seasons.

    Application of Game Theory in Different Auction Forms

    Auctions are employed in many areas all across the world. It is a key topic of study in game theory. This article primarily summarizes the winning strategies in auctions from a game theory perspective. To examine this issue, this paper reviews the past literature from three auction angles. The winning strategies applied in English auctions, Dutch auctions, and first-price auctions will differ depending on the form of auction. During a customary English auction, the winning strategy is to bid at their genius willingness. However, when multiple goods and deadlines are added to the auction, the winning strategy becomes to bid lower than the valuation. In Dutch auctions, bidders should bid at the beginning at a lower price. In first-price auctions, bidders should bid for all combinations when there are many items, and overbid when there is standard information feedback. This article is a review of previous relevant articles and provides references to related articles.

    Case study: The Adjusted Valuation of the High-tech Newly-listed Company in Mainland China

    Given the enormous contribution of high-tech startups to social development, a systematic approach to accurately evaluate these companies is significant for venture capital firms, equity investors, and other investors in the market.
