Chinese term
一地鸡毛
Chinese to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
The phrase is a name of a book but I don't understand the meaning of it in this context. The phrase appears in a text about ˝capital winter˝ “资本寒冬”, a period when startups have a hard time getting financing from venture capitalists:
一级市场的资本泡沫仍需要挤压，未来6-12个月仍旧融资不容易，还没有到最冷（一地鸡毛）的时候
一级市场的资本泡沫仍需要挤压，未来6-12个月仍旧融资不容易，还没有到最冷（一地鸡毛）的时候
