Gome Group spokesman said the United States and around the country more than 1,000 stores across the country are outlets, but, as the work of the national appliance vigorously promote the countryside, the United States will vigorously develop the rural market network chain. State of the United States in logistics, distribution and sales network to cover rural areas, the United States will develop outlets; not in the coverage of local, State of the United States will vigorously develop the franchise.

Chinese home device chain industry in the 10-year time span the process of swift expansion, urban and surrounding lands benefited from the popularity of sports, as well as home devices of the recording and financing finance market trend has been to create "a sewer of a trend," regular in the industry. Especially in the free-spoken, clearance outlets, etc., vis--vis the United States and Japan home device chain counterparts "the election of a warehouse for three years, elevating a 10-year shop" the store deductions strategy, the Chinese device giant chain arises to be over-anxious, and even "very illogical .
