    The Reasons on Rapid Recovery of Shanghai Disneyland

    The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted many industries, and Disney theme parks were among the hardest hit, suffering significant losses. However, as the pandemic gradually subsided, Shanghai Disneyland, being the first Disney theme park to reopen, experienced a much faster recovery than other Disney theme parks. The purpose of this study was to explore why Shanghai Disneyland was able to recover quickly and what strategies it adopted. This article combines marketing mix theory with operational data and visitor flow statistics from Shanghai Disneyland to analyze the reasons for its rapid recovery. Firstly, Shanghai Disneyland accelerated its recovery by increasing prices, and it can also mitigate risks in the future by implementing advanced ticket sales. Secondly, the park increased ticket sales through various distribution channels and can further improve by refining its ticket refund and exchange policy. Lastly, Shanghai Disneyland enhanced its promotion through various social media channels and can apply this to disseminate everyday knowledge and prevent the risk of pandemic recurrence. This study's analysis of Shanghai Disneyland's swift recovery can provide suggestions and references for the recovery and development of theme parks facing similar pandemic issues in the future, helping to minimize losses.

    Analysis of Li Auto's Marketing Strategy Based on Marketing Mix Theory

    This paper analyzes Li Auto's marketing strategy through marketing mix theory, including links to its products and publicity concepts, a unique selection of additional electric vehicles, optimization of product quality and product series, an extensive direct sales network and major cities, the establishment of service centers in the region, etc. The paper suggests that Li Auto should strengthen advertising operations on the we-media platform and, at the same time, adhere to the combination of online and offline marketing methods, strengthen scientific and technological investigation and development, and continuously launch safer, more comfortable, and more convenient products according to the demands of users. In addition, the direct sales network should be expanded to improve the quality of after-sales service. The paper also makes an in-depth analysis of the market development trend of Li Auto and provides an important reference case for enterprise strategic choice. However, the paper has insufficient analysis of Li Auto's pricing strategy.

    Diversified Mechanisms of Dispute Resolution for China's Foreign-Related Intellectual Property Right

    China's increased competition with industrialised countries in terms of technological innovation during its current development transition has led to an increased demand for its intellectual property resources. At the same time, globalisation has further highlighted the inevitability of China facing foreign-related intellectual property challenges, prompting a focus on resolving such disputes. However, managing intellectual property right litigation relating to other countries remains difficult due to the unique types of foreign-related intellectual property right cases and the intricacies of applying national laws. In order to improve China's intellectual property dispute resolution framework and make it more effective and fairer, this paper will propose the shortcomings of the current litigation procedures through the case analysis and data analysis, and confirm that the flexible and reasonable use of diversified dispute resolution mechanisms will help China better deal with foreign-related intellectual property issues. While advocating a diversified dispute resolution framework for China's foreign-related intellectual property rights, it also provides possible suggestions for its construction.

    Study of the Impact of Fairness Concern on Low Carbon Dual Channel Supply Chain

    A supplier-dominated secondary low-carbon dual channel supply chain is used as the object of study, and the expected demand function is constructed when the seller has the advantage of market information in the information asymmetry situation, in order to explore the impact of fairness concern on supply chain decision making. The utility functions in the three scenarios were analyzed and compared, and mathematical simulations were conducted according to market demand information available to the seller and the effort input of decision-making subject. Studies have shown that: Whichever decision-making subject has the fairness concern behavior does not affect the supplier as a higher profit maker; information on market demand also needs to be taken into account when considering the impact of the level of fairness concern on profits of the decision maker. When suppliers misjudge market demand, wholesale price increases are slowed if sellers have equity concerns, and sellers may engage in retaliatory behavior if equity demands are not met. In addition, low carbon demand is profitable for suppliers in supplier-led supply chains regardless of market demand, and low carbon sales efforts are not necessarily profitable for retailers.

    International Experience and Reference of China's Financial Regulatory System Reform

    Parent-Subsidiary Responsibility in the Development of Multinational Enterprises

    As a core subject in the current international market economic activities, the parent-subsidiary company not only plays an important role in the development of multinational enterprises themselves, but also plays an important role in the bonding of cooperation between countries. However, the limitations of the traditional corporate law governance model, especially the limited nature of liability, make multinational corporations in the actual operation of many problems. Among them, the issue of responsibility sharing between parent and subsidiary companies is still one of the core issues that need to be continuously focused on at this stage, because the assumption of responsibility by parent and subsidiary companies not only has an important impact on the development of the international market economy, but also pays direct attention to the acquisition of creditor's interests. Through comparative research, historical research, and other research methods, the issue of responsibility-sharing among parent-subsidiary companies of multinational enterprises will be studied. The role of the corporate veil piercing system in responsibility-sharing will be analyzed based on domestic and foreign legislation and judicial experience. The aim is to identify a responsibility-sharing approach that promotes the development of multinational enterprises while safeguarding the interests of creditors.

    Application of Machine Learning Models in Asset Allocation

    This study embarks on an exploration of machine learning (ML) models in forecasting the trends of stock indices, with a specific focus on different industries within the Chinese market. Moving beyond the confines of traditional linear regression and standard multi-factor approaches, our research adopts a multi-dimensional analytical framework to decode the complex relationships between various factors and the future returns of industry-specific Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in China. The paper innovatively applies both linear and nonlinear ML models to predict directional shifts in ETF returns, a domain not extensively studied previously. We conduct a thorough comparative analysis of these models, assessing their predictive prowess and dissecting the influence of diverse factors on different industry sectors. This investigation reveals distinct patterns and factor sensitivities unique to each sector, offering new insights into their dynamics. The results are pivotal for asset allocation and investment strategies, as they highlight the nuanced role of ML in financial forecasting. By bridging the gap between traditional financial models and advanced ML techniques, our study presents a novel perspective that enriches the strategic planning in financial markets, especially in the context of the rapidly evolving Chinese economy.

    Research on RMB Depreciation and Its Impact on Chinese Corporate and Society

    Raising interest rates by the Federal Reserve forces global capital flows to the US market, which in turn causes other countries’ economic growth to slow or currency to depreciate. China has been inevitably affected by the Fed’s higher interest rates, which have led to the devaluation of the RMB and have had a negative impact on the normal operation of Chinese corporations and society. Therefore, this paper analyzes the impact of RMB depreciation caused by the Federal Reserve interest rate hike on China through literature review and case analysis. Through research, the Federal Reserve adopted the policy of interest rate increases to force the Chinese government to tighten its internal monetary policy while continuing to promote the internationalization of the RMB, which in turn caused the depreciation of the RMB. Export-oriented enterprises can avoid interest rate risk caused by RMB depreciation through financial means, and the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, the depreciation of the RMB has increased the costs of cross-border e-commerce, Chinese tourists traveling overseas, and studying abroad, and the overall disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

    An Analysis of the Development of Investment Banks' IPO Business under the Registered System

    Under the reformed registration system, the role of investment banks in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) business has evolved significantly from the approval system. As crucial "gatekeepers" of the capital market, these banks now bear the responsibility of thoroughly examining issuance application materials for truthfulness, accuracy, and completeness. While the IPO business promises a prosperous future for investment banks, it also presents considerable challenges. Some banks face issues such as insufficient adherence to prudent examination requirements, lax establishment or implementation of internal control systems, and the need for improved information management. To enhance their sponsorship business, it is recommended that investment banks optimize talent training, internal management control, risk management, and intelligent information system construction. Cultivating professional sponsorship talents with comprehensive skills, reinforcing ethical standards, and conducting thorough reviews of IPO companies are crucial. Furthermore, optimizing the management system, establishing effective communication mechanisms, and enhancing risk management capabilities are essential steps. Leveraging advancements in computer technology, the construction of a secure and reliable intelligent information system is advised. As the reform progresses, investment banks should bolster international exchanges, cooperation, and professional competitiveness to evolve into reputable international brand banks.

    Return-forecasting Signals in Australia, Brazil and United States’ Equity Markets

    This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the role various signals play in equity indices within Australia, Brazil, and the United States. Utilizing statistical methods, particularly single-variate regression analysis, I examine the relationship between the monthly return rates of these indices alongside various signals. A noteworthy finding of my research is that certain trading signals exhibit statistical significance within the context of individual nations, yet this significance does not translate across borders. This difference could be attributed to distinct economic factors inherent to each country, such as varying inflation rates and market microstructures. This study sheds light on multiple financial literatures by offering a comparative cross-sectional perspective on equity markets, and it laid the foundation for more nuanced financial research in the future. Despite the significant insights gained from this study, it also acknowledges the potential for further enhancement of the dataset, emphasizing the quest for a deeper understanding of these complicated relationships.

    The Spillover Effect of Stock Market Sentiment Intensity and Uncertainty on Housing Market in the United States

    Investor sentiment is a key indicator of market performance. Many have studied how investor sentiment affects market returns or returns of different categories of stocks. Besides, many also studied how information revealed in media can affect the housing market. This paper focuses on the sentiment revealed in social media, Tweet, by combining these two key factors that have not been studied. This paper studies the spillover effect of stock market sentiment on the housing market by applying Vector Autoregression. The VAR model helps explain the relationship between housing prices and stock market sentiment from tweets, where sentiments are divided into sentiment intensity and sentiment uncertainty. The series of sentiment intensity and series of housing prices interact with each other, and the change in sentiment in the last period spills over to the housing market which affects housing prices, but the change in housing price does not affect sentiment in reverse. Similarly, the series of sentiment uncertainty and the series of housing prices interact with each other, and the change in sentiment diversity in the last period also spills over to the housing market which affects housing prices, but the change in housing price does not affect sentiment in reverse.
