Developing high-end brand "Warrior"

Founded in 1927, Huili shoes industry was the first brand of sports shoes in China, and it swept the whole country in the 70s and 80s of last century.

"In the brutal market competition, the Huili factory went bankrupt, the government stripped the brand from the bankrupt enterprise, and set up a new company and learned from the operation mode of the import brand: the company mastered the brand, technology and marketing network, and the production was handed over to the local shoe factories with low quality and low cost."

Gui Chenggang said.

At present, Shanghai Huili shoes industry Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai Huayi (Group) company.

"Back shoe" has been on the "wholesale sale" mode before 2000, but the profit is low.
