Among them, 5 stores of Tai Er's latest generation "6.0 Fresh Model" had been opened, covering core markets such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhengzhou, continuously advancing the iterative upgrade of the "Fresh" model.

During the period, "Fresh" model stores continued to demonstrate stronger operating performance. In addition, the new model of the JIUMAOJIU brand has also gradually shown positive results.
