However, in the past two years, many industries have been greatly impacted because of the epidemic companies, and companies in Gigi Lai are no exception. After all, their main business is beauty. Under the epidemic, the beauty salon was once closed, and it was difficult to escape the loss situation. Recently, Zhuojia Holdings issued a profit warning signal, indicating that the loss of the group's business will fluctuate between 12 million and 13 million as of March 31, which is the second time since the establishment of the group. Comparing the losses announced by Gigi Lai Company twice, it is found that the actual losses are still relatively low. For Gigi Lai, it may just be a down payment for the loss of a house, which will not have much impact on the company's big operation.
To transform from a female artist to a businesswoman, and to turn the company into a listed company, it is really not an armchair strategist, but it can be achieved by talking about it. To put it another way, Gigi Lai had such a change because of the situation. Before 28, she didn't expect her later life to have such a big change. At that time, her biggest dream was to continue to struggle in the entertainment circle, shoot more good works and achieve more achievements, but her brother's car accident changed her life.
In 28, Gigi Lai's younger brother was involved in an accidental car accident, which caused serious brain injury. After the operation, he cleaned up the accumulated water, broken bones and glass, and woke up, and at the same time lost his self-care ability. Gigi Lai always puts family first, and everything is family-oriented, so Gigi Lai announced her retirement after filming "Jewellery" to concentrate on taking care of her younger brother. Later, she married Ma Tingqiang, and with the support of her husband, she changed her life step by step, including becoming a female CEO of a listed company. Gigi Lai suddenly went into business because of his younger brother Li Ying. Li Ying ran a beauty company before the car accident. He was bent on expanding the company and making it a listed company. As a result, a unexpected trouble changed his life. After the recovery, life can't take care of itself, so don't think about anything else. Gigi Lai felt sorry for his younger brother, so he rolled up his sleeves and made up his mind to fulfill his wish for his younger brother, and the listed company came.
Gigi Lai dares to do this without the strong backing of Ma Tingqiang. After all, it is impossible to turn a small beauty company into a listed company with a market value of hundreds of millions without abundant capital and connections. Moreover, Gigi Lai is a layman, and he can only work in the entertainment circle before 28, and he knows nothing about business. However, she is quite courageous. Apart from her husband's support, she also worked very hard. She started from scratch, started from a low level, and made the scale of the company bigger and bigger step by step. It took ten years to finally complete the listing on the Growth Enterprise Market in 217, and then it took two years to officially transfer the company to the main board in 219. Gigi Lai jumped from a female artist to the CEO of a listed company.
I still remember the scene of Gigi Lai wearing a red coat and knocking on the listed gong on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 219. She was so high-spirited. At that time, she invited former TVB Hua Dan, including Ada Choi, Guo Keying and Maggie Cheung, to join in the fun and witness her success. It was really beautiful. In order to commemorate this brand-new beginning, Gigi Lai also changed his name to Li Jia, which is a formal farewell to Gigi Lai, who is active in the entertainment circle. However, since the successful listing of the company in 219, it is rare to hear Gigi Lai talk about her own company, and she can only be described as a clear distinction between public and private.
However, after all, it is a listed company, and it can't hide its good or bad operation and losses. It always needs to publish its earnings and make it public. In the past two years, under the influence of environmental factors in Hong Kong and the impact of the epidemic, almost no industry can escape the impact, not to mention the beauty industry, which needs close contact between people. Therefore, in the past two years, we have received notices of suspension one after another, but we can think that the whole operation will not be very good. Sure enough, Zhuojia Holdings issued a profit warning message just before the end of the first half of 221. Until March 31, 221, the group was hit and disturbed by the epidemic, and was forced to shut down all beauty salons, which made it impossible for the group to start its business smoothly. Therefore, there was a loss of more than 25%, and the estimated loss was between 12 million and 13 million. This is the second time that Zhuojia Holdings has issued a profit warning signal since its establishment.
Judging from the losses announced by Zhuojia Holdings in two earnings warnings, it can be controlled at least around 1 million, which is quite good for a listed company with a market value of hundreds of millions. I believe Gigi Lai's husband has also contributed a lot as her backing. In terms of operation, Zhuojia Holdings should also have its own unique doorways to minimize the loss, so some people joked that Gigi Lai's loss was just a few handbags with the letter "H" and a down payment for a house, which was not too painful. In fact, Gigi Lai didn't take it too seriously. She was still promoting her brand on social platforms a few days ago, and her life was as usual, without being greatly affected. After all, it is impossible to make a steady profit in business.
