In the first half of this year, the national grid investment has also been reduced by 25% , and the reduction in large orders has caused the advance receipts at the end of June this year to be reduced by 60% from the beginning of the year.
In addition, metals such as copper and aluminum are the main materials for the production of cables, and their price fluctuations will also have a major impact on the company. First-half net profit performance this year than in previous years largely due to the fall in copper prices led to the beginning of April to May the company bought the futures price is higher than futures contracts expire settlement value of the futures contract delivery to generate a loss of 47.8755 million yuan, with last year's 1.46 100 million yuan in futures investment income can not be the same day.
