International giants Nike and Adidas fashion cross border pursuit of female users
In December 2014, after Adidas opened its first Chinese women's store in Beijing, Nike's first women's experience store in Shanghai iAPM shopping center also unveiled its mystery.
Adidas China's first women's store is located on the three floor of Financial Street shopping center in Xicheng District, Beijing, and is adjacent to LV, GUCCI, Zegna and other luxury brands. It is not difficult to see that the Adidas women's store is not prepared to face the mass consumption crowd. Its service object should be more inclined to high-end consumer groups. Unlike Adidas women's stores, which mainly rely on sales, Nike women's experience shop is more like a women's Sporting Club Hotel. In addition to providing about 100 sports products, the Nike Shanghai iAPM women's experience shop, which has an area of 420 square meters, has also installed the first Nike+ gait analysis system in the mainland. Experience shops will also invite regular fitness trainers, health experts and private sports modeling consultants to interact with consumers on a regular basis.
Although women's stores will not be the mainstream in sports market in the future, but behind the establishment of women's stores by Nike and Adidas, it is worthwhile for local sports brands to learn. The practice of setting up women's stores in Nike and Adidas is actually to understand the real needs of female consumer groups by setting up stores targeted specifically for women, so as to make improvements on other products sold in comprehensive stores, and do well in communication with female consumers. It is undeniable that there is a great difference between male and female demand for products. For example, male consumer groups tend to be rational in shopping, and the purpose of shopping is very strong. While female consumer groups are just the opposite, buying is more emotional and impulsive consumption is stronger. This kind of purchase behavior difference actually needs the brand dealer to give the attention ahead of time.

Reporters found that after this increase, YOUNGOR's stake in Ningbo bank was less than 2% from the stake of Ningbo bank's largest shareholder, OCBC. 13.74%. YOUNGOR said it would continue to increase its stake in Ningbo bank in the next 12 months.
Reporters found that YOUNGOR's shareholding ratio was only one step away from the majority shareholder of Ningbo bank. Insiders told reporters that if YOUNGOR really wanted to hold the Bank of Ningbo in the future, the future Ningbo bank would be similar to Minsheng Bank. Large shareholders could control the direction of banks, and the transformation of private banks could also be done. It is understood that YOUNGOR and Ningbo bank are Ningbo enterprises. When Ningbo bank listed, YOUNGOR held 179 million shares. In 2010, YOUNGOR subscribed 70 million 500 thousand shares of Ningbo bank's non-public offering, and YOUNGOR continued to sell Ningbo bank shares in the third quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2013. However, since the fourth quarter of 2013, YOUNGOR has begun to increase Ningbo bank.

The Club Monaco of Ralph Lauren invited Broolyn's popular Toby 's Estate cafe and New York's famous The Strand bookstore to enter its flagship store; the designer brand John John even set up bars in its own store.
H&M not working hard, cross boundary playing home
In January 2014, the H&M home home series officially entered the Chinese market. As of the end of August, 7 large flagship stores have been opened in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities, and another 4 will be opened in the second half of the year.
In 2011, ZARA home has entered nearly 20 stores in China, and sales increased 30% in the first half of last year, much higher than the growth rate of the flagship brand Zara during the same period. However, the fast fashion industry is not quite new at home. As early as 2003, fashion clothing giant ZARA began to cross the border to make home products, providing bedding, tableware and bathroom accessories. Today, it has been developing for 11 years. Although there is no official data for specific sales share, the market share is gradually expanding rather than shrinking from the perspective of cross-border brands. According to sources, Japanese home life chain Muji executives also expressed their hope that the number of stores in China could expand from 100 to 1000.
