Since the company was established more than seven years ago, the chain operation has made great progress. So far, the company's business network has spread all over Shaoxing and other counties (cities) in the city, and nearly 50 new stores have been opened. In this process, the layout of the company's business outlets has been successfully adjusted strategically: from urban areas to local rural market towns, from Yuecheng District to other counties (cities) in the city.

Based on the original pharmacy resources, the company will establish, transform and expand outlets and hold, merge and join chains. At present, the company is actively expanding its business network and developing chain operation in accordance with the established "Great Earthquake" development plan and with a sound business philosophy. While increasing local outlets, it plans to expand its business network to neighboring cities before the end of 2008.
