Andrew Keith, President of Lian Ke Fu, said that the new store's investment was as high as 300 million yuan, which was another big investment after the opening of Shanghai's flagship store.

At present, there are two online stores that are specially tailored for the Chinese market and two stores in Beijing.

At the same time, online stores can also develop new markets for brands.

< p > however, despite the confidence of Lac Crawford, it is not easy to conquer the Chinese market.

More than 10 years ago, LC Crawford chose Shanghai for the first stop on the mainland market.

Since then, lac has started the first round of expansion in the mainland.

However, since 2006, LC has closed stores in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Harbin.

At this point, lac Crawford failed to break the ice in the mainland market.

Just a year from the overall withdrawal from the mainland market, Lian Crawford opened a new store in Financial Street shopping center in Beijing in 2007.

However, as the business is not hot, the Beijing Financial Street Shopping Center store has shortened the business hours from "10 hours -21" to "11 hours -20 time and half".

< p > the buyer system as a management feature is also undergoing market tests.

Andrew Keith said that the products of the Chengdu International Financial Center store were selected by 85 professional buyers, and 40% of the brands were sold exclusively in Chengdu.

Although holding a large number of exclusive brands, it is still unknown whether the value can be fully released.

< p > last October, the French Lafayette department store, which had lost the Wangfujing, returned to Xidan business district.

Similar to the business model of Lafayette, it also used the hand buying system of Lafayette department store to introduce the more than 50 brands into China for the first time.

However, a recent visit by Beijing Commercial Daily to the Department of general store found that even The Kooples, located near the elevator entrance, was patronized.

At the present stage, consumers' cognition of new brands is still relatively limited. The mall will hold fashion shows and other activities to promote new brands.
