Gelonghui, September 10th | Weizhixiang (605089.SH) stated at the performance briefing that in terms of retail channels, the company adheres to the strategy of simultaneously developing new stores and upgrading existing stores. Currently, the company is piloting renovations for more than 30 franchise stores in Wuxi market, upgrading the stores through renovations in store decoration, product display, and product structure. Over 20 stores have already been upgraded with positive market feedback, and this approach will gradually be expanded to stores in other regions. The company has also introduced the "smart operation" system to enhance the management capabilities of franchise stores. In terms of wholesale channels, the company will promote the "1+N" model, focusing on the goal of "expanding major customers" to help large wholesalers develop secondary and tertiary customers. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in prices of beef and pork raw materials, reflecting an expansion in demand and an improvement in consumer sentiment. Combined with the feedback the company's sales operation has received in the market recently, there has been some improvement. If this trend continues positively, we believe there should be significant improvement ahead. Regardless, the company will always focus on its core duties, proactively respond based on market conditions, and enhance the operational resilience of the business.
