However, many listed companies told reporters that there has not been a surge in export orders recently.
Jujie Microfiber staff told reporters: “We are also checking the reasons for the recent high stock price increases, because the market changes too fast and the specific situation is not clear. .”
Wanlima staff told reporters that the company’s stock hitting the daily limit is market behavior. We have not received news that the stock price has risen because of the transfer of Indian textile orders to the company. It may be a plate rotation.

Coupled with the overseas epidemic, there is a second wave of rebound.”�Risks, there are still many uncertainties in the future. ”
Kute Intelligence staff also told reporters that the company currently has no orders from India, and the status of overseas orders will not be informed until the third quarter report is released.

The number of precision packaging and packaging workers has also increased by at least 1.5 times this year, and sometimes some temporary workers are hired.
