National Pharmaceutical agrees: There are no plans to close a large number of stores in the second half of the year.

GuoYaoZhiZai stated at the performance briefing that the company has no plans to close a large number of stores in the second half of the year. The online business has indeed impacted the offline business, but the company is actively embracing the online business and adjusting its product categories to increase competitiveness and attract new customers. Drug sales are relatively unique, as online sales will not completely replace offline sales. Guoda Pharmacy currently emphasizes stability and quality improvement, and does not have any merger and acquisition plans in the short term. The focus will be on improving the operation capabilities of existing stores. In the future, when the industry enters a stable stage, expansion may be considered.
