Lotus Flower Channel Sink Three Or Four Line City

After the abortion plan of the lotus flower and the Wuming business, there has been a continuous rumour about the lotus shop. In fact, in February 15, 2014, the bee lotus closed its Tianshan store located at 555 Tianshan West Road, Shanghai. Now there are media reports that the bee lotus shop in Liuliqiao, Beijing will face shop. Public information shows that the shop opened in December 26, 2003 and has been in existence for more than 11 years. It is the first store in Beijing market.

The reason for the loss narrowed was the increase in gross margin and the strict expenditure management offset the decline in other net income.

In 2014, the sales volume of lotus flower was 10 billion 912 million yuan, an increase of 0.3% compared with the same period last year. Its growth was mainly due to the revenue generated by 4 new stores in 2014. However, it was counteracted by the seven loss shops sold in April 30, 2014 to WSL. (2014 March, the announcement of the bee lotus release, the company sold 7 loss stores to 250 million yuan at the price of 250 million yuan, which was sold to the wholly owned Affiliated Companies WSL of the Chia Tai Group, including two stores in Beijing). In terms of gross profit margin, the gross profit margin of 2014 was 16.8%, up 0.3% from the same period last year.

As the first batch of foreign supermarkets to enter China, the bee lotus has apparently not found a path suitable for its own development. The company's financial report has also suffered huge losses for three consecutive years, bringing many pressures to its top level in China. In order to reverse the bad financial situation, in October 2013, the bee lotus wanted to sell more stores in North China and East China, where the loss was more serious. This time, the cooperation with Wumart business has been blown off, and it has been interpreted by the industry as the opportunity to find a breakthrough in the transformation.
