Cash dividend yield and price-to-earnings ratio are common metrics for stock investment decisions, but stock expert Xie Fuxu introduces the concept of 'Form-Net Ratio' which helps evaluate if a stock price is reasonable. Using Taiwan Plastics Group's Nan Ya (1303) stock as an example, Xie suggests that falling below 50 yuan is a good low price, as seen with Nan Ya's closing price at 50.1 yuan on June 24. While Nan Ya faced revenue decline last year, Chairman Wu Jiazhuo remains optimistic about future developments including technology integration and new business ventures. Xie recommends using the 'Form-Net Ratio' for cyclically struggling stocks like Taiwan Plastics Group, evaluating it based on net value per share and historical trends to estimate a reasonable price range. Overall, with Nan Ya's operations focusing on product, business, carbon reduction, and digital transformation, the company aims to adapt to new technologies and expand into innovative applications like high-speed communications and AI materials as part of its business strategy.

Habeck's agenda was to maintain positive relations with China for German businesses, despite concerns about unfair competition and lack of transparency in China's economy. The trip also aimed to mitigate political risks stemming from conflicts such as the Ukraine war, showcasing differing stances between German Chancellor Scholz and Habeck. Despite not meeting with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, readjusted schedules were cited, potentially influenced by Habeck's and the Green Party's criticism of Beijing.

According to the news from SET News, the People's Party faction held a press conference focusing on the controversy of importing eggs by the Agricultural Ministry. The People's Party faction leader Huang Kuo-chang accused Superthink Co., with a capital of only 500,000 yuan, of receiving a 200 million yuan order to import Japanese eggs from the Taiwan Livestock Research Institute before being tasked by the Agricultural Ministry to import Brazilian eggs last year. However, the Agricultural Ministry refuted in the afternoon, stating that due to the different box sizes of Taiwanese and Japanese eggs, there was a miscalculation by the committee members, but the total weight was the same, and there was no shortage of quantity. DPP Legislator Hung Sheng-han expressed concern that the Agricultural Ministry, confirmed to be mistakenly accused by Huang Kuo-chang, could be convicted of contempt of parliament. Hung Sheng-han pointed out that although it was just a simple administrative fact clarification, he was worried for the Agricultural Ministry's clarification and the accusation against Huang Kuo-chang, questioning whether the above-mentioned accusation and clarification, if occurred in a questioning session, could lead to a majority voting to determine it as 'contempt of parliament,' directly imposing a fine of 200,000. He emphasized the possibility of continuous fines until the official changes their statement, highlighting the controversial context surrounding parliamentary powers. More reports by SET News include statements from Zhou Wei-hang mentioning Huang Kuo-chang's long-term influence and comments by Wu Tsung-hsien and Lin Chun-hsien criticizing Huang Kuo-chang's actions.
