During the epidemic, the catering industry in China and even the world has been hit hard, and many offline physical stores have had to close or even permanently close. However, it was Haidilao Enterprises that went against the trend. They adopted the strategy of expand-ing against the movement during the epidemic period. Still, the good times did not last long, which led to the continuous increase in losses of enterprises, and they had to close stores one after another.

This paper will study the internal organizational command and control issues and corresponding strategies of Haidilao enterprises in the post-epidemic era, hoping enterprises can seize the opportunity and return to life.

In different regions, scholars in some regions have also conducted relevant research on the local capital market. They think that CAPM does not conform to their current regional situation.

However, under the background of the epidemic, due to factors like low benchmark interest rates that are not conducive to the valuation of the DCF model, the accuracy of the discounted cash flow model valuation has been questioned.

The unforeseen pandemic has significantly influenced the financial market, and has caused major disruptions in the global economy, leading to a sharp decline in stock prices and increased volatility in financial markets. Assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market is essential for both investors and policymakers. This study recognizes that irrationality exists during the pandemic in investors’ decision-making and find that the efficient market hypothesis does not always hold perfectly. According to the analysis, emotional and cognitive biases play significant roles in investors’ decision-making, especially under uncertainty. Using empirical data from the previous study, the existence of risk aversion, herding behavior, and availability bias during the pandemic is testified. The results suggest that the pandemic has led to an increase in risk aversion among investors, as well as a tendency towards herding behavior in the stock market but not the crypto market. Furthermore, evidence of availability bias is found, with investors placing greater weight on recent news and information related to the pandemic, and making decisions based on that information. These findings have important implications for investment strategy and risk management during a crisis.

Carbon emissions and climate are intricately related. People's activities are growing as a result of advances in science and technology, which raises carbon dioxide emissions. As a result of these greenhouse gases, the atmosphere's ability to dissipate heat will decline, raising global temperatures and making climate change a more serious issue. To achieve sustainable development, people must begin to pay attention to these challenges and strike a balance between the environment and economic progress. This paper introduces the mechanism of emissions trading and the benefits of its operation. In order to discuss the possibility of enabling countries to use emissions trading, this paper uses a non-cooperative game theory model to analyze the choices made by developing and developed countries under the background of the Kyoto Protocol. Combined with the equilibrium obtained by the hypothesized model, some methods and reasons for improving the results are proposed. This paper concludes that both developed and developing countries are more inclined to use emissions trading to achieve emission reduction targets or obtain certain benefits.
