Frequent cross-border investments, involving nearly 5 billion of the amount.

The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 129 million 900 thousand yuan, down 17.26% compared with the same period last year.

In fact, since 2012, the performance of noble birds has been in decline.

Of course, noble birds are trying to pform from traditional clothing retailers to sports industry.

In the case of poor main business, cross border and choose from investment.

In January 2015, the 240 million yuan RMB curve was invested in huppu sports. In July that year, the two sides jointly set up a sports industry fund to invest in the sports industry and mobile capital, with a total scale of 2 billion yuan and the first period of 1 billion yuan.

In June 2016, the precious man Bird held 383 million yuan to hold a sporting goods retailer Hubei Jay's trip, holding 50.01%.

In August 2016, the precious bird invested 382 million 500 thousand yuan to acquire a 51% stake in the Xiamen shoe store.

In December 2016, the noble bird tried again to enter the field of sports insurance. It plans to set up Ankang insurance with 7 companies such as Xinjiang Guanghui Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. and Hong Kong Group.

Among them, the precious bird intends to invest 260 million yuan, accounting for 13% of Ankang's total insurance stock.

...

In March 2017, the great bird tried to buy 2 billion 700 million of the 100% stake in Wellcome fitness, but the deal ended in early September.

According to incomplete statistics of open data such as the Internet, the investment community has invested in many fields such as APP, professional soccer equipment retailers, sports fitness technology applications, electric competition anchors, professional team brokers, women sportswear brands and so on.

Dozens of investment projects, involving an amount of nearly 5 billion yuan.

In the first half of the year, the price of the birds increased by 55%, mainly from the capital acquisition in recent years. The business of its brand was only 853 million 174 thousand and 400 yuan in the first half of 2017, a decrease of 16.20% compared with the same period last year.

At present, the brand of "noble bird" is still in the process of "closing stores".

In the first half of the year, the 326 bird dealers closed the retail terminal, and the number of birds joining the agency was 3997. The number has reached a low level in the past three years.

The new brand can not bring huge revenue from the beginning. The great bird needs to spend a lot of efforts in brand, production and marketing.

Although the investment area is extensive, the growth of its brand is weak and expansion seems to be getting further and further away.

Determined to rename "omnipotent sports", but the "Oolong" which hastily withdrew one day, there are still many uncertainties in the pformation.

Footwear and apparel industry in pition

With the upgrading of consumption and the rise of the middle class, fast fashion brands continue to emerge.

Textile and clothing industry, footwear industry, these early labor intensive have been hit by waves.

From 2016 to now, local clothing brands began to decline, and a series of industrial problems, such as high inventories, closing shop tides and running road pformation, emerged.

The annual net profit in 2016 was 300 million - 390 million yuan. In the half year of 2016, the report explained that the loss was caused by the adverse effects of the macroeconomic downturn, the broader consumer perception, the change of consumption concept and the impact of the Internet economy.

After several years of large-scale online migration of traditional brands, the apparel industry began to develop new retail trends under the online pformation line this year.

Besides La Natsu Bell, Semir, seven wolves, Anta, Lining and so on, they are developing this trillion market.

Last year, Semir officially entered tens of billions of revenue. The main reasons for its growth were: Internet business input, promoting the pformation of commodity system and retail system, improving the quality and efficiency of supply chain, and online e-commerce business.

La Natsu Bell recently raised funds in the A shares of IPO, will invest 1 billion 550 million yuan in the retail network development and construction, invested 84 million yuan in the new retail information system project, improve the efficiency of network management.

Also, Anta, which has always been concerned by the industry, has been buying and buying. In August 2009, Anta acquired BELLE's international sports brand FILA franchise and trademark rights in HK $600 million, and was responsible for the promotion and distribution of FILA Chinese commercial products in mainland China, Hongkong and Macao. In 2015, Anta bought the British outdoor brand Sprandi, which was regarded as a remedy for Anta's international brand in the low and middle end market. In 2016, Anta joined Descente with Japan Descente and ITOCHU Corporation subsidiary to set up a joint venture company.

From many pformation companies, we can see that most of them adopt "private brand expansion + investment merger" mode.

Mergers and acquisitions involve many brands at home and abroad.

If the seven wolves invest 320 million 400 thousand yuan in the investment of international designer brand Karl Lagerfeld China operation entity, they want to purchase Swiss luxury brand Bally valued at 600 million euros.

For enterprises in the period of pformation and upgrading, the investment and merger is undoubtedly the most direct way.

This year's "new retail" mode will also stimulate business and retail entities to get through the whole channel and achieve complementary advantages.

And how to achieve seamless online and offline links depends on the channel integration ability of garment enterprises and retailers.

The apparel industry in pition needs to find a suitable way to change. The cross-border is to attract consumers to seek development, and the most important is their own brand.
