Upon making the announcement, Assistant General Manager Xiao Chen, stated that over the past several weeks marketing staff have been assessing possible locations for future company-owned stores in Fuzhou and Quanzhou in the Fujian province. "The third store is at a corner location in much sought after location in a densely populated upper middle income residential area in central Fuzhou," Mr. Chen stated. "Decoration of the new store will get underway this week." Experience to date shows that company-owned stores are very profitable. Profit margins average 100 percent and all transactions are in cash which greatly reduces the amount of operating capital required to carry out this program.
