<p>我们目前关注两个正在展开的故事，这些故事捕捉了中国消费经济的变化现实。一方面，<strong>新的监管打击</strong> 正在席卷中国的私人金融部门，给最后幸存的金融科技贷款者施加压力。另一方面，一家新兴的牙膏制造商正在为香港 IPO 做准备，借助中国快速发展的数字化零售环境。两个故事都揭示了一个变化中的消费格局，政府介入以降低年轻人的经济负担，而灵活的本土初创企业则创造出激进的新方式来销售产品。</p>
<p>最新的监管收紧主要集中在利率上。政府将金融科技公司贷款的最高利率限制在 24%，并暗示最终可能迫使公司将利率降至 12%。这一举措部分旨在打击那些推高消费者和小企业贷款有效利率的隐性费用，后者的利率高达 36%。在西方，信用卡和支票兑现服务因收取类似的高利率而闻名。但在中国，我们面临的是一个完全不同的环境。</p>
<p>这次打击是中国政府为降低消费者，尤其是年轻人经济负担所采取的众多措施之一。三四年前，北京意识到生活成本是年轻一代不愿生育的原因之一。将独生子女政策提高到两个，最终到三个，并没有真正帮助出生率下降。为了应对这一问题，监管机构开始采取措施降低住房成本，并关闭课外教育行业，以消除教育孩子的高昂费用。限制贷款利率只是朝这个方向迈出的额外努力，是一场让消费者再次消费以复兴整体消费经济的运动。</p>
<p>从贷款者的角度来看，这意味着严重的麻烦。剩下的几家上市金融科技贷款公司估值极低，远低于去年年底的水平。我们可能会看到公司退出这一特定业务，转向其他领域，或完全倒闭。我们已经看到像 <strong>趣店</strong> 这样的尝试，五六年前表现出色，最终关闭了该业务，转而尝试物流，并在澳大利亚建立了一个未能成功的风险投资。<strong>宜人贷</strong>（YRD.US），曾在 P2P 贷款时代被称为宜人贷，开始多元化进入保险经纪、社交电商和人工智能领域。而 <strong>FinVolution</strong>（FINV.US）则开始向中国以外扩展，前往印度尼西亚，并最近在澳大利亚开设了办事处。但总体而言，作为投资者，我们不愿意在这个行业投入太多资金。看起来没有太大的潜力。</p>
<h4>社交电商和网红打造牙膏品牌</h4>
<p>尽管金融科技领域正在收缩，但消费品领域却书写着截然不同的增长故事。我们正在密切关注 <strong>小阔科技</strong>，该公司刚刚 <strong>申请在香港上市</strong>。该公司以其仅在四年前推出的 <strong>Canban</strong> 牙膏品牌而闻名，目前已占据中国庞大市场的 9.2%。在不到四年的时间内达到这一市场份额相当了不起。</p>
<p>Canban 的快速崛起并非个例。这是一个更大消费品牌故事的一部分，在中国与西方截然不同。虽然像 <strong>高露洁</strong>（CL.US）或 <strong>佳洁士</strong> 这样的西方知名消费品牌有着数十年的历史，但许多中国品牌相对年轻。要与这些全球巨头竞争，必须采取不同的策略。在过去六到八年中，社交电商和网红——关键意见领袖（KOL）——作为推广和销售消费品的营销工具发展得更快。人们对中国品牌的偏好也在逐渐增加。</p>
<p>我们认为这种动态在某种程度上已经成为一种文化。如今的年轻中国人生活在一个几乎不觉得在应用程序上购买任何所需商品并在 30 分钟内送到家门口的世界里。没有真正的西方等同于这种速度。这种情况在三年的疫情封锁中得到了增强，几乎迫使人们迅速接受这种新的消费方式。再加上在疫情之前就已经活跃于在线销售商品的网红，我们正在看到一种新的消费文化。这里的网红毫不避讳地推销产品。如果你听到某个人，看到某个产品，并决定喜欢它，你只需点击购买，一个小时后它就会送到你家门口。</p>
<p>我们对这家公司的 IPO 表现持混合态度。香港市场仍然相当火热，但主要吸引的是科技、医疗和生物科技公司。纯消费类公司并没有那么吸引人。然而，这个故事有些特别。如果公司能够维持其快速增长，我们可能会看到人们购买该股票。对投资者来说，更大的问题是公司能否在快速扩张的同时完美执行。此外，还有一个问题是他们是否真的拥有独特的产品，或者只是一个其他公司也能轻易复制的强大 KOL 策略。但率先进入市场会给你一些动力，即使人们最终意识到有相当强大的竞争对手正在出现。</p>

<p>中国的消费经济正在经历重大变化，重点是对金融科技贷款机构的打击，旨在降低年轻人的生活成本，以及一家国内牙膏制造商即将进行的首次公开募股（IPO）。政府正在限制贷款利率，以减轻财务负担，而像小阔科技的 Canban 牙膏品牌这样的初创公司则通过电子商务和网红营销蓬勃发展。这一转变反映了对本土品牌的文化偏好和快速的在线购物，与传统金融科技公司的困境形成对比</p>

</div><p>We're currently watching two unfolding stories that capture the shifting realities of China's consumer economy. On one hand, a <strong>fresh regulatory crackdown</strong> is sweeping through China's private financial sector, pressuring the last surviving fintech lenders. On the other, an up-and-coming toothpaste maker is brushing up for a Hong Kong IPO, riding the waves of China's fast-paced, digital-first retail environment. Both stories reveal a changing consumer landscape where the government intervenes to lower financial burdens on young people, while agile domestic startups invent aggressive new ways to sell to them.</p>

</div><p>The latest regulatory tightening is all about interest rates. The government is capping the maximum that fintech companies can charge for loans at 24%, with suggestions they could eventually force companies to go as low as 12%. This move is partly aimed at clamping down on hidden fees that drive up effective interest rates for consumer and small business loans to as much as 36%. In the West, credit cards and check-cashing services are famous for charging similarly high rates. But in China, we're looking at a totally different environment.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>最新的监管收紧主要集中在利率上。政府将金融科技公司贷款的最高利率限制在 24%，并暗示最终可能迫使公司将利率降至 12%。这一举措部分旨在打击那些推高消费者和小企业贷款有效利率的隐性费用，后者的利率高达 36%。在西方，信用卡和支票兑现服务因收取类似的高利率而闻名。但在中国，我们面临的是一个完全不同的环境。</p>
</div><p>This crackdown is one of many steps the Chinese government has taken to lower the financial burden on consumers, especially younger people. Three or four years ago, Beijing realized the overall cost of living was one reason why the younger generation was reluctant to have kids. Raising the one-child limit to two, and eventually three, didn't really help the falling birth rate. To combat this, regulators started taking measures to lower housing costs and killed the after-school education sector to eliminate an expensive cost for educating children. Capping loan rates is just an additional effort in that direction, part of a crusade to get consumers to spend more again to revive the overall consumer economy.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这次打击是中国政府为降低消费者，尤其是年轻人经济负担所采取的众多措施之一。三四年前，北京意识到生活成本是年轻一代不愿生育的原因之一。将独生子女政策提高到两个，最终到三个，并没有真正帮助出生率下降。为了应对这一问题，监管机构开始采取措施降低住房成本，并关闭课外教育行业，以消除教育孩子的高昂费用。限制贷款利率只是朝这个方向迈出的额外努力，是一场让消费者再次消费以复兴整体消费经济的运动。</p>
</div><p>From the lender perspective, this spells serious trouble. The few remaining publicly traded fintech lenders have extremely low valuations, way down from where they were at the end of last year. We'll likely see companies get out of this particular business, pivot to other areas, or fold altogether. We've seen attempts like this from <strong>Qudian</strong>, a top performer five or six years ago, which ended up folding that business to try logistics and built a venture in Australia that didn't work. <strong>Yiren Digital</strong> (YRD.US), which used to be called Yirendai in the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending days, started diversifying into insurance brokerage, social e-commerce, and AI. And <strong>FinVolution</strong> (FINV.US) began expanding outside China, going to Indonesia and recently setting up shop in Australia. But overall, as an investor, we'd be reluctant to put much money into this sector. It doesn't look like there's a lot of big potential left.</p>

</div><p>While the fintech space is contracting, the consumer products space is writing a much different growth story. We're looking closely at <strong>Xiaokuo Technology</strong>, which has just <strong>filed to list in Hong Kong</strong>. The company is better known for its <strong>Canban</strong> toothpaste brand, which launched only four years ago but already holds 9.2% of the massive Chinese market. Getting to that share in less than four years is pretty remarkable.</p>

</div><p>Canban's rapid rise isn't unique. It's part of a larger consumer brand story that's quite different in China from the West. While famous Western consumer brands like <strong>Colgate</strong> (CL.US) or <strong>Crest</strong> have decades of history, many Chinese brands are quite young. To compete with these global giants, you've got to be different and go at it with a very different strategy. Over the last six to eight years, social e-commerce and influencers — key opinion leaders, or KOLs — have developed much quicker as a marketing tool for promoting and selling consumer goods. There's also a growing favor towards Chinese as opposed to Western brands.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>Canban 的快速崛起并非个例。这是一个更大消费品牌故事的一部分，在中国与西方截然不同。虽然像 <strong>高露洁</strong>（CL.US）或 <strong>佳洁士</strong> 这样的西方知名消费品牌有着数十年的历史，但许多中国品牌相对年轻。要与这些全球巨头竞争，必须采取不同的策略。在过去六到八年中，社交电商和网红——关键意见领袖（KOL）——作为推广和销售消费品的营销工具发展得更快。人们对中国品牌的偏好也在逐渐增加。</p>
</div><p>We think this dynamic has become somewhat cultural. Young Chinese people today live in a world where they think nothing of buying just about anything they need on an app and having it delivered to their door 30 minutes later. You don't have any real Western equivalent of that speed. Some of that was enhanced through the three years of Covid lockdowns, which almost forced people to quickly adopt that new way of consuming. Throw in the influencers, who were already active in selling goods online well before the pandemic, and we're seeing a new consumer culture. Influencers here aren't shy at all about hawking products. If you listen to somebody, see a product, and decide you like it, you click and buy, and an hour later it shows up at your doorstep.</p>

</div><p>We're mixed on how this company's IPO should do. The Hong Kong market is still pretty hot, but it's mostly catering to tech, healthcare, and biotech companies. Pure consumer plays haven't been as attractive. However, this is a bit of a special story. If the company can sustain its rapid growth, we could see people buying the stock. The bigger issue for investors is whether the company can execute flawlessly at the same time it's scaling up very fast. There's also the question of whether they really have a unique product or just a strong KOL strategy that other companies might be able to copy just as easily. But being first to market gives you some momentum, even if people eventually realize there are pretty strong competitors emerging.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>我们对这家公司的 IPO 表现持混合态度。香港市场仍然相当火热，但主要吸引的是科技、医疗和生物科技公司。纯消费类公司并没有那么吸引人。然而，这个故事有些特别。如果公司能够维持其快速增长，我们可能会看到人们购买该股票。对投资者来说，更大的问题是公司能否在快速扩张的同时完美执行。此外，还有一个问题是他们是否真的拥有独特的产品，或者只是一个其他公司也能轻易复制的强大 KOL 策略。但率先进入市场会给你一些动力，即使人们最终意识到有相当强大的竞争对手正在出现。</p>
